Chapter 12: The Intestine and the Girl
Just as Qi Lin deduced, because Bilodo's business had improved a lot with Qi Lin's help, the owner of another grain store who was in the same company found a big mouse.
However, contrary to Qi Lin's imagination, those grain store owners did not want Bilodo's life, and the order they received at first was only to make trouble in the grain store and wanted to disturb Huang Bilodo's business.
But one day the two suddenly received an order to poison Bilodo, and the order required that this thing must be done seamlessly, and this order was even given by the intestines himself.
You must know that El, who is the lowest gangster, has never been in contact with the intestine boss before, even if it is a mouse two or three levels lower than the intestine, they are all great people in their opinion.
For this reason, El also went to the Black Forest to pick the poisonous mushroom called the devil's hand, baked it into powder and put it into the food of the two people of Biloro. However, because of the greed in their hearts, after Bilodo was poisoned, El actually had the idea of inheriting the grain store, so they took it upon themselves to find a priest and hoped that he would preside over the inheritance ceremony.
Because of this, everything was self-defeating, and Qi Lin had the opportunity to obtain a brief refuge from the priest.
Finding that all the key points were in the mouse called the intestines, Qi Lin specifically asked the two guys about the intestines.
Intestines,Basically, it's the top of the Willis rats.,His real name is unknown.,All the mice call him the Intestine Boss.,It's said that this unforced nickname is because the intestines' favorite thing to do is to squeeze out the enemy's intestines and eat them directly.。
Qi Lin was skeptical about this, after all, the intestines of living people were filled with excrement that was about to be excreted from the body, and this taste alone was enough to make people sick to their stomachs, and what a heavy taste it would be for people to be able to eat their intestines directly.
However, in addition to knowing this information, El and Nance don't know much more, the intestines are already considered to be the figure who has reached the top of the mouse, he lives directly in the upper town near the Count's castle, and is said to be a big man who can directly meet the count.
Seeing that the two of them couldn't say anything new, Qi Lin didn't ask anything, according to the agreement, he gave the two of them a good time, and after one person and one knife, he directly buried the two rats who directly killed Bilodo in Bilodo's granary.
When Qi Lin came out of the granary, he kept muttering the name of the intestines in his mouth, and it was not until he regained his quiet that he regained his quietness, looking at Bilodo's body, Qi Lin secretly sighed and said: "I have already avenged half of you, and the next is the person called the intestines." ”
The snow outside has not stopped, and from last night until today's nightfall, the entire city of Willis has been completely covered in snow.
Because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the few in Willis City kept the noise and excitement at this time near night, and on the lively street, a little girl wearing shabby clothes and an apron made of rags was walking mindlessly.
She had a lot of matches in her apron, and she had a match in her hand.
The face that should have been ruddy at her age was now extremely pale, and although her feet were no longer wearing the big slippers that could be used as cradles, the cotton shoes that were deep in the snow had already been soaked with snow, which made her feel like her feet were not her own.
But she had to keep walking, and the food that the kind big brother had given her yesterday was crushed under the roof along with her father, and the dilapidated house could not withstand even a layer of snow that was not very thick.
The girl hadn't eaten for a whole day, and when she thought of the bowl of white rice porridge that the kind big brother had given her, the girl licked her lips a little unsatisfactorily, but then the hunger in her stomach became even more obvious.
After all, the girl's age was too young, and the fright of last night, the hunger of the whole day, and the long cold had already made her body overdrawn, and at this moment the little girl almost lost the ability to think, she just followed her instinct step by step.
And the place where the girl went was the grain store in Bilodo, and it was evident that it was almost the warmest place in the girl's mind.
Walking and walking, the people on the street are getting smaller and smaller, Chinese New Year's Eve is a day of reunion after all, everyone goes home to accompany their families, even rats will not go out to make trouble at this time, otherwise the angry earl will definitely let them know who is the master of the city.
But the little girl has no home, even if she sells all the matches in her hand, she has no home.
Even though the father would only give the little girl food after she had sold enough matches, and beat her and scolded her from time to time, at least as long as he was there, the little girl could have a harbor that she could call home, even if this harbor could not shelter her from the wind and rain.
When night fell, the street became colder, and the soft candlelight from the windows of the houses on both sides was the glow of Chinese New Year's Eve, but under the reflection of the snow, those tender yellow candles turned white.
The little girl tightened her clothes tightly, and looking at the match in her hand, she could no longer suppress her instinctive impulse, and she quickly pulled out a match and wiped it on the wall next to her.
In an instant, a strange light radiated from the match, and these lights condensed into a huge furnace in the air, and a raging flame burned in the stove, and a warm breath directly drove away the chill on the little girl's body.
With a strong warm breath, the little girl finally woke up from the frozen state, she tried to reach out and feel the warmth of the stove up close, but at this time the flame went out, and the stove in the air disappeared instantly.
Looking at the burnt matchstick on the ground, the little girl looked around as if she had suddenly thought of something, this was the same food store that had given her food yesterday, treated her frostbite and given her a pair of cotton shoes.
But at this moment the grain store was different from the brilliant lights of the other houses, and the little girl saw only a glimmer of candlelight in the window on the second floor, and this candlelight seemed to reveal sadness and despair.
But thinking back to the gentle smile on Qi Lin's face last night, the little girl still had the courage to knock on the door of the grain store gently.
With a knock on the door echoing in the deserted street, the little girl's heart sank into the abyss little by little, no one came to open the door, feeling that her body was getting colder and colder, and the little girl struck a match.
It was still the same wonderful light, and this time they condensed bowls of fragrant-looking rice porridge in the air, and just as the little girl was about to get it and drink it, suddenly everything in front of her disappeared, leaving only a burnt matchstick.
The little girl, who was slightly rejuvenated by the rice porridge, continued to knock vigorously on the door of the grain store.
