That night.
Liu Sheng's words and the expression on his face were always like nightmares, lingering in Xu Han's mind.
What exactly did his words mean Xu Han couldn't say it really, but in the following days, intentionally or unintentionally, Xu Han couldn't help but secretly observe Liu Sheng.
He was vaguely aware that Liu Sheng must know something about everything in this dark room.
And he did notice something unusual.
Because when training, he was always unsatisfactory, Liu Sheng was punished every day as always, and missed dinner because of the punishment.
Even so, he ate very little breakfast and lunch.
It must be known that although they are trapped in this dark room all day, they never stop training every day, and for these teenage children, the daily consumption is extremely high, so when it is time to eat, everyone is almost rushing to eat.
For this reason, intrigue is inevitable in secret.
Xu Han didn't know the situation on the girl's side, but these twelve boys alone, excluding him and Liu Sheng, were divided into three factions in order to grab more food.
On ordinary days, they are dissatisfied with each other, and when it comes to eating, they fight from time to time.
And the men who were in charge of watching over them never stopped them, but were a little happy to see it.
this day.
As usual, Xu Han practiced that set of fists and kicks in the house alone, and Liu Sheng dragged his tired body into the room after suffering a meal of flesh and skin as usual.
After Xu Han waited for him to sit down, he stepped forward and handed over a pancake that had already been left for him.
For more than ten days after that night, Xu Han was always like this.
Liu Sheng glanced at Xu Han, these days, because of Xu Han's kindness, Liu Sheng's attitude towards him has been better.
He took the pancake as usual, tore off a small piece and swallowed it.
Then he didn't put the remaining Bo cake back into Xu Han's hand as before, but threw it aside casually.
Xu Han was stunned, although there were not many of them, but for this small piece of pancake, the ten boys tried their best every day. Liu Sheng doesn't eat it, why should he throw it away.
Xu Han was a little puzzled, but he didn't wait for him to ask.
The children, who were already lying quietly on the bed, saw the pancake fly out, and rushed towards the place where the pancake landed like vicious dogs, and for a time cursed and roared endlessly, filling the whole room.
"Eat quickly, fat pigs to be slaughtered. Liu Sheng didn't look back at the boys, but said coldly in a voice that only he and Xu Han could hear.
After saying this, he didn't look at the shocked look on Xu Han's face at this moment, and fell asleep with his clothes closed again as usual.
......
Five more days passed.
On this day, Xu Han finally understood the meaning of Liu Sheng's words.
A boy suddenly let out a wail while eating dinner, his face turned purple in an instant, and his forehead was even more bruised, and then he fell to the ground, and the food in his hand that he had tried his best to fight for was scattered all over the ground. His body twitched, and after a few breaths, he lost his breath under the surprised gaze of everyone.
All this came too suddenly, Xu Han didn't expect it at all.
When he came to his senses, the boy's body was taken away by Lu Daniu's faction, and after that, he continued to direct everyone back to their respective rooms to rest as if nothing had happened.
The dead boy was one of the leaders of the three forces, and his death was undoubtedly a great blow to his group, and several people were fighting in the small room at the moment, and the two leaders who were alive wanted to take this opportunity to snatch the manpower of the other side, while the one who lost the leader was helpless.
Xu Han naturally had no time to take care of those people, he was more and more sure of his guess, Liu Sheng must know something!
When Liu Sheng walked into the room, Xu Han greeted him.
He didn't speak, but the eagerness in his eyes had already revealed what he was thinking at the moment.
Liu Sheng seemed to have expected it, and he nodded towards Xu Han and motioned for him to keep quiet.
"What's going on?" This behavior undoubtedly created a favorable environment for Xu Han and Liu Sheng, and Xu Han hurriedly approached Liu Sheng's side at that time and asked.
Liu Sheng also glanced at Xu Han deeply, as if he was measuring whether the boy in front of him was trustworthy, but after a few breaths, he made a decision.
At that moment, he leaned into Xu Han's ear and said softly: "I have been here for eight months, and now the people in this room have changed three batches. ”
"Are they all dead?" Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and turned his head in some surprise and asked.
Liu Sheng shook his head and continued: "Not all, but most of them are dead, just like the person today. A small number of them were taken away and never returned. ”
"But how did they die? Is it really related to those meals?" Xu Han heard this, and a chill suddenly appeared in his heart, after all, he hadn't eaten less of those meals these days.
Liu Sheng shook his head again.
"I don't know, but the people who eat the most are always the first to die, or the first to be taken away. ”
At this time, Xu Han finally understood why Liu Sheng would rather be whipped than eat more food and practice his fists and feet.
His face became solemn at that time, but soon he realized that something was wrong, and he asked again, "But what is this for?"
This is an unreasonable reason, if Lu Daniu and the others bought them back just to kill them, then they have a much faster and more effective way than this, and in the same way, this will not do Lu Daniu and the others any benefit except for spending their money.
"But those dead children, what explanation?" Liu Sheng was stunned, he had to admit that Xu Han had some truth in what he said, but he couldn't feel at ease about the food.
Liu Sheng frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Among the children who were taken away were also well-fed, but their fists and kicks were much better than those of the dead ones......" he said, his tone gradually lowering.
He realized that he seemed to have missed a crucial clue.
"Anyone who doesn't practice well will be punished, obviously that set of boxing is extremely important!"
"It may even be their main purpose for buying us!" Xu Han analyzed in a low voice.
He continued: "I don't know exactly what caused the death of those people, but if you want to get out of here, you have to practice the set of punches and kicks that they taught. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Liu Sheng again, and his voice suddenly lowered: "And I want to practice my fists and feet..."
"At the very least, we have to have enough to eat. ”
"But... Out of here... Who knows what they'll do to us..."Liu Sheng hesitated.
"Either way, it's better than staying here for the rest of your life. Xu Han interrupted Liu Sheng's words. His eyes shone in the candlelight of the candle outside the room, and there was a chill that made his mind tremble.
"I want to live better. Xu Han muttered.
"Better ...... to live" seemed to be infected by Xu Han, Liu Sheng repeated Xu Han's words, and a burst of light gradually lit up in his eyes.
