Chapter 21: Damn Barbecue

"Why did you two come to the south of the city again, do you need me to send you two back?" In the shadows beside the street, a dark figure squatted on the ground, a white towel draped over his shoulder, and the familiar rickshaw stood beside him.

"I'm sorry you can take us to the Fengtian Tavern", Lu Ming pulled Xiao Yuhan into the car and squeezed into the narrow seat.

Xiao Yuhan hasn't said a few words since he came out, just holding on to Lu Ming tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What's the matter, are you still a little scared", Lu Ming leaned over to the little girl's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Well, Brother Lu Ming, what if I am arrested and you don't find me", the little girl's face was a little pale, her voice trembled a little, and she spit out a sentence, and looked up at Lu Ming as she spoke.

"No, no matter where you go, I will find you, I promise", Lu Ming said in a coaxing tone.

"Pull the hook", the girl stretched out a small hand, and sat up straight with a solemn face, as if she was signing some important document.

"Okay, okay, hang yourself with a hook, you won't change for a hundred years", Lu Ming stretched out his finger and held the girl together, chanting the spell together.

When this "major ceremony" was completed, the girl laughed, grabbed Lu Ming's arm tightly, and lay on Lu Ming's body, not knowing what to think of happily.

"Master, you don't have to go so fast, we're not in a hurry", Lu Ming looked at the driver who was running out of breath and said.

"Are you not well?" , Lu Ming felt a little strange, after all, the two children were not heavy, but he looked struggling to run.

"I'm in good health, but I've been running too much today and I'm a little tired," the driver said without replying.

Lu Ming didn't say anything more, just quietly touched Xiao Yuhan's hair like a cat.

I can't help but think about everything I've been through today, weird men, human trafficking dens.

The feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he always felt that something would happen, and this uneasiness was brought to the extreme after meeting the strange man.

In his breast pocket, the slippery and cold coin was still lying quietly, casting a thick haze on Lu Ming's heart, this kind of strange thing was beyond his understanding of Douluo Continent, he never remembered that there was such a person in Douluo Continent.

Who is he? Evil Soul Master? A god, or a monster in the abyss? Lu Ming tried to search the memories in his mind but did not find this character, and this unknown feeling made Lu Ming a little panicked.

He felt that this Douluo Continent seemed to be not quite the same as what he remembered, and it seemed that all kinds of strange and mysterious unknown things had popped up.

"What the hell are you", Lu Ming muttered to himself, took out the coin in his chest pocket, and threw it out with all his strength.

Little by little, the coins rolled down to the dirt on the side of the road, flashed in the setting sun, and then evaporated and disappeared like foam in the sun......

Lu Ming thought of what he had seen and heard in the south of the city, and the disgusting appearance of various corpses hit his mind, as well as the memory of Shopkeeper Lu.

Those who traffick human beings may seem like a large industrial chain, and there may be more than one person under that "nobleman", and from the word "distribution", their target should include all kinds of people, children, girls, women, and maybe even some men.

This industrial chain should be relatively developed, and the subordinates are not in contact with each other, responsible for the abduction and sale of different targets, and deliver to the "nobleman", and at the same time, the nobleman should have his own sales model, which may be a list, supply to some people on the list, or some kind of secret party auction.

This "nobleman" never had direct contact with his subordinates, and every time he bought and sold a person, he wrote a note in advance in a remote house, agreed on a date for the meeting, and then his subordinates took over the goods.

These people should have an extremely powerful protective umbrella, or through some kind of power trading to keep these actions undetected, and there should be some powerful soul masters inside.

"Two, it's here, please get out of the car, two copper soul coins", the coachman's voice interrupted Lu Ming's thoughts, and the car leaned against the side of the road, in front of which was the familiar signboard of the Fengtian Tavern.

Lu Ming paid the money and pulled Xiao Yuhan out of the car, and before he entered the door, he smelled a familiar smell, and a feeling of nausea rushed from his stomach to Tianlinggai, which made Lu Ming shiver and almost vomited uncontrollably.

"Grandpa, I'm back", Lu Ming separated the surrounding airflow, his face was pale and staggering.

"What a fragrant smell", Xiao Yuhan's soft and glutinous voice came, which suddenly hooked some bad memories in Lu Ming's mind, and a strong feeling of nausea welled up in his heart.

Lu Ming couldn't stand it anymore, he rushed into the toilet and began to retch violently, and the feeling of dizziness and nausea lingered around him like an annoying fly.

"Xiao Ming, are you not feeling well? Do you want to have a barbecue and drink some water", Old Man Lu knocked on the door outside.

"Don't mention the barbecue", Lu Ming eased up after a long time, his voice was a little hoarse, he rinsed his mouth, and walked out of the toilet with a pale face.

"Xiao Ming, are you not feeling well, do you want to go and see", Old Man Lu didn't care about the noon at this time, touched Lu Ming's forehead, with a look of concern, and only after confirming that he didn't have a fever did he put down his snack a little.

"It's okay, as long as you don't mention the barbecue", Lu Ming controlled the surrounding airflow with the smell of barbecue not to get close to him, poured a cup of hot water, and took a few sips to feel a little better.

"Is it really alright? Look at your face is not quite right", Old Man Lu began to babble again.

"It's really okay, don't worry, just don't mention the barbecue", Lu Ming reluctantly interrupted Old Man Lu, glanced at the oily barbecue in the kitchen, and a wave of nausea came to his heart.

"Xiao Han, are you hungry, do you want to eat something", Old Man Lu pulled Xiao Yuhan into the kitchen.

"Can I eat this?" Xiao Yuhan looked back at Lu Ming, as if asking for his consent.

"Eat, eat, it's okay", Lu Ming touched Xiao Yuhan's head, and then said hello to Old Man Lu and asked him to be optimistic about Xiao Yuhan.

He fled from the uncomfortable place and drank hot water in his room.

What a terrible experience, Lu Ming looked at the afterglow of the sunset outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh a little. I've integrated into this cruel world, no matter what aspect it is.

Just today, he killed several traffickers. He didn't feel guilty, just disgusting, stumps and broken arms, charred pieces of flesh and human wails.

The feeling is disgusting and panicked, and as dopamine and various brain hormones drop by orders of magnitude, the panic and nausea get worse.

It was as if his hands were covered with blood, and he couldn't wash it clean, and he was marked with a thick mark, and when he closed his eyes, he could recall the disgusting scenes.

"Can power really make people abandon all the kindness and mercy of people and become an out-and-out beast?" , Lu Ming sat on the edge of the bed, looking out the window at the sky as if it was covered by fire, orange-red light sprinkled on his face and reflected in his pupils.

Knock knock

A knock on the door interrupted Lu Ming's thoughts, and the wooden door was pushed open a small gap, and a small figure came out of the gap.

"This, Brother Lu Ming, can you not tell my mother about today's incident", the little girl said.

"No", Lu Ming shook his head and refused without thinking about it.

"Ah, don't", Xiao Yuhan stood on the side of the bed, grabbed Lu Ming's hand, and shook it vigorously, "After telling my mother, she may not let me come out to play." ”

As he spoke, his eyes were red, and he looked like he was about to cry.

"Okay", Lu Ming touched her hair and said perfunctorily, his mind is very chaotic now, he doesn't have the energy to coax the little girl, and he doesn't want to talk more.

"Pull the hook", the little girl stretched out her fingers, and her bright eyes stared at Lu Ming like this, but Lu Ming was silent for a while, and did not move for a long time.

"Xiaohan, your mother is here to pick you up", Old Man Lu's voice came in, breaking the silence around the two.
