"I... I don't have a name, they all call me Xiaoqi" The girl's voice was soft, and there was a hint of trembling to show that she was very scared at the moment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Little Seventh Sister, where is your home, let's send you back," Avella said softly.

"I, I don't have a home, we all spend the night in a grass hut by the city wall" Xiao Qi's voice gradually calmed down, and slowly raised his head to look at Avella's cheek with a hint of timidity.

"Sister, are you human, you are so beautiful" Xiao Qi said sincerely.

"Sister Xiaoqi, you are also very good-looking, let's go, let's send you home" Xiao Qi helped Xiao Qi up after speaking, and then turned his head to look at Lu Ya, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"I'm fine, let's go" Of course, Lu Ya couldn't admit it at this time, and quickly stood up and puffed up his chest to say that he was fine.

Xiao Qi's home is near the west gate where Lu Ya entered the city at that time, the closer the whole Xicheng District is to the city wall, the poorer the orcs live, until the edge of the city wall, it is almost a slum, the light is dim, the sewage flows everywhere, and from time to time you can see a few rats with flat stomachs scurrying in and out of the garbage heap on the side of the road.

Along the way, Ruya was responsible for the road ahead, and Ivy and the two slowly moved along the clean road that Luya had found. A few dozen meters behind them, the two black-clothed men were slowly hanging behind, they didn't want to come to this kind of slum, but for the sake of the task, they had to follow slowly with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

As Lu Ya and the others walked by, many heads also stretched out from the broken grass hut on the side of the road to look at them, they usually don't see any outsiders coming here, so they are still very curious about Lu Ya, of course, many of these people also looked at Lu Ya and Avella's clothes and had evil thoughts, but when they looked back and noticed the two men in black following behind, they immediately retracted into the grass hut.

The reason why those people have evil thoughts is that there will be no patrolmen coming back here to patrol this slum, so it is very simple to kill two people here, and in the same way, they will not make a trace of waves if they are killed by others, and those two men in black are definitely not good at stubble, so those guys with bad intentions can only hide in the grass hut and hope that they will not be troubled by the other party.

"Sister Avella, Brother Ruya, I'm here," Xiao Qi whispered, pointing to a simple grass hut built against the city wall.

Along the way, she had already gotten acquainted with Lu Ya and the others, knew that these two were not bad people, and she was equally grateful that they could save her.

"Let's go, why don't you invite us in and sit down," Ruya said with a smile.

"Hmm~ I..." Xiao Qizhi was speechless.

"Forget Luya, let's go back, Sister Xiaoqi, you take the money, go buy a new dress and food" Although Avella was simple, she also knew that Xiao Qi was a little embarrassed, so she stuffed the gold coin that was not spent last time into Xiao Qi's hand.

"No, no, you can go in, I can't ask for this" Xiao Qi wanted to return the gold coin to Avella with a anxious face, but in the end he still didn't resist Rua and Avella, so he could only hold the gold coin in his hand tightly and purse his lips.

Xiao Qi took the lead and walked in front of the grass hut first, Lu Ya and the two followed behind, and just as they wanted to step in, they heard Xiao Qi's anger.

"Ah Qiang, what are you doing, give it back to me, it's left for the old man to buy wine"

"Hehe, where did you get this gold coin, it can't be stolen," a young man's voice sounded with a hint of frivolity.

"Only you don't listen to your uncle and steal other people's things, this gold coin was given to me by Sister Avella, and you give it back to me" Xiao Qi hurriedly brought a trace of crying.

"Give her back the gold coin," Ruya and Avella walked in, the long grass hut from the outside was simply divided into many separate rooms, and there were no doors between them, and there were only bits and pieces of household items left on the floor except for a layer of hay, not even a bedboard. No wonder Xiao Qi didn't want Lu Ya and them to come in just now, it turned out that there was no place to sit here.

"Who are you" The young man was startled when he heard Lu Ya's voice, he didn't expect that there would be outsiders here, and looked at Lu Ya and the two with some surprise, until he found that the other party was not big and there were only two people.

"It's you" Lu Ya recognized this young man at a glance, it was the 'second brother' who pretended to fall to the ground and played a double reed when he entered the city a few days ago

"You're... uh, how did you find it?" the young man was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered the fat sheep they had inadvertently obtained that evening.

"Heh, but I finally met you, what about your two accomplices," Ruya asked as he stepped forward.

"I, you, "I, you, the young man didn't expect to meet Ruya here, and he stammered speechless.

"Second child, what's going on" Two young colleagues walked out of the door behind the partition, and it was the other two who had partnered to steal the money bag that day.

"Big brother, that kid was led by Xiao Qi to find it" The second brother was overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly hid behind the eldest brother.

"Who? which boy?" the young man called the eldest brother looked at Luya suspiciously, and was also startled when he saw Luya's appearance, but he was also slightly relieved when he saw that there were only two people, Luya and Avella.

"Boy, it's useless for you to find it, I advise you not to ask for hardship, what about your two stupid big brothers, just your own ・・・・・ uh"

He just wanted to say something cruel, when he suddenly saw the moonlight shining in from the door, and then two tall men in black squeezed in, but after he saw the specific appearance of these two people, he directly trembled and collapsed on the ground.

"Big Brother"

"Big Brother"

The other two teenagers were still righteous, and when they saw their eldest brother fall to the ground, they hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, but when they followed their eldest brother's trembling fingers and looked at the waists of the two people, they no longer had a trace of arrogance, and they all collapsed together in a daze like losing their souls.

As a person who has been messing around in Boulder City all day, where would they not recognize that kind of waist card, it can be said that this kind of waist card is even a pass for the entire Boulder City, except for a very few places, it can almost run rampant in Boulder City, and their slum identity meets them, even if they are nothing to be stepped on by them, they dare not have a trace of complaint, because even if they kill them, no one will give them redress. This is the status and rights of those big chambers and powers, of course, generally speaking, no one will bully them for no reason, otherwise there would not be so many ordinary orcs living in Boulder City.

However, the current situation is not for no reason, but it can be regarded as making them take the initiative to find trouble first. The three brothers were in a state of endless fear, for they knew that this time they had really kicked the iron plate, and they had no hope of survival.

Lu Ya didn't expect that the two black-clothed men of the Boulder Chamber of Commerce would have such a strong shock on them, so he turned back to the two of them and nodded with a smile and signaled the two to go out first, and he slowly walked towards the three of them.

"What else do you have to say, brothers" Lu Ya squatted in front of the three of them, he was not afraid that the three of them would explode and attack him, these three teenagers were ordinary orcs, none of them reached the apprentice wrestler, Lu Ya could easily subdue them with brute force alone.

"No, no, no..." The big brother looked at Lu Ya in horror, and a word was shaken into several tones by him.

"Is it really gone?" Lu Ya tilted his head to look at the three of them, he found that although the eldest brother was also very afraid, he faintly protected the other two teenagers behind him, feeling the brotherhood between the three of them, Lu Ya also suddenly felt that they might not be too bad in nature.

"Alright, give me back the money, and I'll let you go," Ruya said calmly.

"No, no, no, money," replied the 'big brother' who stood in front of him.

"... You guys are asking for money and don't want to die, you really think I'm good-tempered" Lu Ya was stunned by the kid's 'no money' in front of him.

"No, no, money, money is gone"

"Run out?" Ruya stared at his glasses.

"No, no, it's all taken away by the 'cannon'."

"And who is the 'cannon'?"

・・・・・・

After Lu Ya's careful questioning, Lu Ya finally clarified the whole thing and the ins and outs of his money.

It turns out that whether it is the three boys who stole his money in front of him, or Xiao Qi, they are just one of the orphans in the slums, in fact, they are not orphans and they all have parents, but their parents are basically those big families or chambers of commerce sold slaves, different from captured slaves, those slaves who actively sell themselves are also slaves in name, but they are less restricted than slaves who passively sign, such as they will not be required to be used as cannon fodder, or perform some mortal tasks and so on.

But slaves are slaves after all, they choose to become slaves of others in order to have a full meal or are desperate, which means that they lose their freedom and the right to choose, many of them are also with children, if they meet the kind of master who has a good heart, they may be able to accept their children, but most of their children are twisted away by the master's family, and can only wander in the boulder city, to fend for themselves.

Xiao Qi, almost all of the street children of their status who can survive will live in the slums, lacking the care of their parents and due education, so that these children are almost all at their disposal in order to survive, begging, stealing is their most common way, but as the so-called where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, although they are only the lowest level of society, but they can't escape this law.

Some orphans or beggars with a little stronger individual strength gathered together to form an organization that was responsible for collecting the food and money that ordinary orphans begged and stole every day. After giving most of what they earned, the children were left with very little left.

If you are lucky, you can eat a half-full meal every day, but if you are unlucky, you will not only have to go hungry all the time, but sometimes you will be insulted and beaten in various ways, adding a few more scars to their already weak bodies.
