Chapter 88: The Price of Wishes

The wood carving replied this time.

"Yes."

Han You's figure behind the scenes flashed quickly, entered the city and found a steamed bun shop that had already closed, packed a few steamed buns, and returned at full speed after leaving some money on the table......

After a while, Xi Shuangcheng suddenly heard a strange sound.

Subconsciously looked up, and it happened that a black thing fell on his face.

There was a "click" sound.

Then several more were smashed down one after another.

Although it is not a heavy object, it is a solid smash.

Xi Shuangcheng was stunned all of a sudden.

It wasn't until he smelled the smell of meat that he had not seen for a long time that he came back to his senses and reached out to take the things off his face.

Start with the fluffy ones.

When he looked closely, his breathing instantly became a little heavier.

"Meat buns!"

Genuine meat buns!

Although it was cold, the smell of meat could not be concealed.

The nose sniffed gently, the Adam's apple quickly slid up and down, and the saliva could not be stopped.

Looking at the ground again, there were also a few scattered on the ground, and with this one in his hand, he got a total of ten buns.

It's exactly the same as Xu's wish.

"It's true......"

He couldn't wait to crouch down and wrap all the meat buns in his clothes, then cautiously walked up to his sister and patted her on the shoulder to wake her up.

"Huh? Brother ......"

She rubbed her misty eyes, only to gradually sober up after smelling the meat buns.

When he saw the meat buns that Xi Shuangcheng was holding in his arms with his clothes shirtless, a look of surprise instantly appeared on his little face, and he subconsciously wanted to shout, but he covered his mouth in time.

"Shhhh We ate ...... secretly."

"Hmm!" The younger sister nodded excitedly, picked up a meat bun and hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth.

Although Xi Shuangcheng was still hungry, he looked at his sister's happy appearance, as if he was eating, and touched her hair: "Slow down, don't choke." ”

My sister suddenly thought of something, and the speed of eating slowed down a little, and she said with some worry: "Brother, if Shuang'er eats this, will it cause my brother to be beaten again?" ”

There was a time before when her brother was beaten half to death for stealing someone else's food, and she was afraid that this time it would be the same.

"No...... No, it won't! We won't have to worry about food anymore! Xi Shuangcheng was a little distressed and a little expectant.

Looking forward to a bright future.

But at this moment, the familiar sound of wood carving sounded again.

"Your wish has been granted, and now, you need to pay the price."

Xi Shuangcheng nodded nervously.

"What...... Price? ”

After a pause, the sound of wood carvings came.

"Before dawn, kill a person with your own hands."

"Huh?!" Xi Shuangcheng trembled instantly, looking at the wood carving in his hand in disbelief.

After a long time, he took a deep breath.

"After completing the mission...... Can I make a wish? ”

"Yes."

"Okay."

Xi Shuangcheng touched his sister's little head, and he already had a rough plan in his heart.

On the way to exile, he has seen too many lives and deaths, and death is not a very distant thing.

It's not uncommon for people to kill each other for a little food.

……

Han You, who was standing in the shadows not far away, was still dressed as an old man, quietly watching his movements.

This can also be regarded as a test for him for this child.

It is impossible for him to grant all his wishes without asking for anything in return.

That's neither realistic nor a waste of time and effort.

He also needs to see if the other person is worthy of being his first test subject.

There are gains and losses, and the other party will carefully consider each wish.

And now, he was a little curious about how this emaciated child would kill another person.

It wasn't until he noticed that Xi Shuangcheng had comforted his sister to sleep again, and then secretly ran to the other side of the woods with the remaining buns, and after looking around for a while, he selected a few more withdrawn adult male victims.

After a big flag or coercion and temptation.

At the cost of four meat buns, he soon had four subordinates who could barely be regarded as combat power.

Then he took these four subordinates, taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, and went directly to the half-grown teenagers who beat him up before......

While they were asleep, he directly covered his mouth and held down his hands and feet, and dragged them into the darkness.

In this world, human life may not be worth more than meat buns.

……

Han You was quite satisfied with Xi Shuangcheng's performance, and this kid was just one of the ten test subjects.

In order to get together as soon as possible, he quickly began to select the right people among the displaced people.

Soon, a total of eight wood carvings were sent out by him in a similar way.

It's not all children like Xi Shuangcheng, there are also adults who are facing difficulties and need help urgently, and there are also poor women who are almost insulted by other bad people......

Among them, there is also an old man with gray temples and a very Confucian temperament, who can be seen to be from an extraordinary background before, but now he is so downtrod that he mixes with these homeless people.

And with this person's physical condition, it is very rare to be able to persist here in such a harsh environment.

Even so, this person is willing to give up the little dry food he has in his hand to the children, and his moral character is indeed good.

It was also for this reason that Han You gave him one of the wood carvings.

And the first wish he tried to make was even more unexpected.

"The old man wants to ...... Can kill a person. ”

Originally, I thought that the other party would also seek a lot of food, but this wish was really unexpected, and it did not match the expectations.

But it doesn't matter, Wan Ying just needs to do what she wants.

Soon, the head of a bloody man rolled down in front of the old man.

The white-haired old man looked at the human head on the ground and was obviously stunned for a moment, then his eyes slowly turned red, and his wrinkled face was gradually wet with falling tears.

Kneeling down slowly, he kowtowed to the heavy and solid wood carving, and the sleeves of his shirt slowly brushed away the tears on his face, not crying or wailing, but as if he had only completed a regret.

"Thank you...... My poor granddaughter can finally look at her......"

The wood carving was quick to respond.

"Your wish has been granted, and now you need to pay the price."

"The old man is willing to pay for a life......"

He is so old, and he has heard of the so-called evil spirit, and he knows that this kind of thing kills people without blinking, which is very terrifying. Now I am very satisfied that I can exchange my life for a life.

But again, the wood carving's answer surprised him.

"Received five students."

"Learn ...... Bear? ”

The old man was stunned.

The wood carving did not answer again, and fell completely silent.

The old man waited for a while, and could only believe that the other party was not joking.

One life equals five students?

He couldn't understand the rules.

But if that's all there is to it......

The old man looked up.

Many people around, especially those children, still have a good impression of him as an elder. If you want to admit students, it's not too difficult.

He looked down at the wood carving again.

Is this a gift from heaven?

If yes.

He hopes that more people will be like him......
