Lost Echoes (3)

In one day and night, I lost two relatives and became an orphan. www.biquge.info I don't understand why my parents treated me like this, and why they just left. Am I doing something wrong?

Should I not be in a mood with my mother, or should I not touch the North Star, which I shouldn't have touched yet? Or is there another reason? I don't understand.

It's smelly and dirty, and I can't stay any longer. But my father could not remain in the dissipation field, he and his mother should have a resting place, a tombstone with their names and surnames inscribed, and a funeral, just as I have seen - return to heaven and sleep in the arms of the Lord.

I reached for my father, but I didn't catch it once, twice. The third time, someone suddenly shouted behind me, "Hey, what are you doing here?"

The sound startled me, and I slid forward, and hands grabbed my arm from behind. I looked back and saw a guy in an oilcloth jacket looking at me with a frown.

"Kid, why are you running around here? This is not a place for you to play. โ€

The man seemed to see that I was grieving, and he said this in a tone that was not serious, but I didn't reply to his words, just pursed my lips and looked at the dissipation pool.

"God, the gang in the chicken coop is getting more and more excessive! โ€

"Chicken coop?" I asked, looking back.

"You kid don't know about chicken coops? That's Bangjera Prison, who are you?" he asked again.

"He's my dad. The tears that I had so easily stopped were ringing in my eyes again.

"Oh my God...... Is there anyone else in your family?"

I shook my head with tears in my sleeve, and we were silent for a long time, and the man smacked his lips and said, "We'll have to get your father up, but we can't do it alone." You know, kid, it's not a joke to accidentally fall into the pool, the smell alone can smoke people to death, and even if it doesn't kill you, you'll drown in the dung water if you carry your back to the air!"

The man's words sent chills down my shoulders.

"Can't we both get my dad up?"

"No, we have to have an adult wearing special clothes to go down to the pool and hold people up, so we can do it. Well, you come with me to the house over there and wait for a while, and I'll find somebody. He proposed.

I followed the direction he was pointing and saw a hut upwind, so I nodded. After a while, he led me to the house, which was actually a tool room, except for a small stove for making tea by the window, and two chairs for people to rest. He poured me a cup of hot tea and told me that he might have to wait a while before hurrying away.

I sat in the house for a long time, and then ran out of the house and looked around a few times, but I didn't see the man come back. It wasn't until the stove where the tea was made was completely cold that the unlocked door was pushed open. I stood up and greeted them, but there were two guys I had never seen beforeโ€”dressed in leather jackets with knives pinned to their belts.

"It's dirty, but it's an elf cub. โ€

The man closest to me grinned, a smile that reminded me of the last night when I was slammed against the wall by the door of my head, and I took a step back in fear, and the man reached out and grabbed my jaw.

"Shake your hands!" I shouted vaguely, kicking and struggling as hard as the man dragged me to the window and opened my mouth to look inside.

"This little cub has good teeth. He turned back and smiled at his accomplice.

I took advantage of the slight relief of the hand he had broken my jaw and bit down on his hand, and the man screamed in pain, and he shook his hand and slapped me. After the sound of tools being knocked and smashed, I glared at me with half of my face covered. At this time, the guy standing behind leaned over, he patted his accomplice on the shoulder and said, "Don't hit this little devil in the face, I see that this face is worth a few dollars when it grows up." โ€

With that, he curled his index finger to support my chin, and I ducked my head sideways as if he were teasing me like a cat.

"Little one, how did you get here?"

The man brought his hand over again, and I flinched back, and he suddenly pressed me to a chair and put his knees against my back. I felt a sharp pain in my arm, and the man grabbed my arm and twisted it backwards.

"Say, why don't you have your family, why are you here!" he shouted in my ear.

I heard a gurgling sound that almost snapped from my joints, and I burst into tears.

"Obedient children suffer less. โ€

The man was relieved and rubbed my hair comfortingly, and I thought of my mother, who groomed my hair and gave me warmth and security, and I didn't fully listen to her.

"They took my dad away and said they were going to ask him something, and we waited until the evening, and I thought dad, I wasn't very obedient, and they came to my house again, and beat me and my mom, and when I woke up, my mom hanged herself, and I went to look for my dad, and they said he was in the dissolution field, and someone told me to wait here, and they said to find someone to get my dad up......" The man didn't let go, and I answered intermittently, sobbing, and choking.

"Is your mother pretty?" he asked, suddenly letting go.

I didn't understand why he was asking this, but I nodded.

"I've never seen a woman more beautiful than her. โ€

As soon as my words fell, the guy who had beaten me before hurriedly interjected: "Bebel, do you hear that? This kid's family must have caused trouble, he is a fish that slipped through the net, let's not wade into this troubled water." โ€

After a brief silence, the guy named Bebell turned back and pointed directly at his accomplice's nose.

"Ah, how can I have such a stupid brother as you, don't report my name in front of this little ghost!" he said in an agitated tone. With that, he looked back at me again.

"You're going to be an Assassin, my little cash cow. โ€

I was stunned by that. I've heard my parents talk about the Assassins, and they say they're devils who trample on life with a smile for money. Before I was born, there were several Assassin guilds in the city, and dead people could always be found in the alleys and on the side of the road...... Is this man going to turn me into a devil?

"I ...... I ......"

I was speechless. Bebel seemed to understand what I meant, he patted me on the cheek and said, "Your friend lied to you, but we won't, he sold you to us, and we'll take you to a new home." โ€

It turns out that I was deceived......

I kept sobbing as the two of them coerced me out of the dissolution room. My parents once told me that there was an inherent difference between humans and elves, that elves made promises, and humans tended to break their promises, and I was too slow to learn.

At the moment, I was stuffed into a van by them. In order to prevent me from causing any trouble, they tied my hands and feet, and put an oilcloth over my head. I didn't know where I was going, I could only feel the car taking me away, and this realization made me want to cry without tears.

In the direction of the front of the car, the sound of Bebel and his brother talking came to my ears.

"Times, uh...... Are you really going to sell this little devil to the Assassins? How much are you going to ask? 10 silver? 1 gold! Crazy, we only paid 5 silver coins from the cesspool guy to eat this thing, and you multiplied it twenty times, or bargain with those Assassins!"
