Chapter 10 Demons
The dazzling silver light frantically poured into Zhou Nan's body, and the void consciousness gradually formed a silhouette composed of silver lines, and the seriously injured Zhou Nan came to this abyss of silence again. The eternal black shadow is still suspended in the sky, exuding the mottled atmosphere of time.
The fierce light of the fire was gone. Zhou Nan rippled in the darkness like a great being, but unfortunately this was a trip destined to reach the end......
The inexplicable power cleansed Zhou Nan's troubled mind, he opened his eyes and sat up slowly, quietly looking at the torches coming and going outside the window and the refugees who fell into laughter.
"They're happy......"
A calm voice sounded behind him. It was a dilapidated thatched hut, the walls were made of clay mixed with straw, cobwebs clinging to the main beams with cracks all over the body, and the pungent musty smell filled Zhou Nan's nostrils, and on the edge of civilization, it was lonely and forgotten by the world.
It was difficult to stand firm on the wooden pillar, and the whole body was moaning in pain. Zhou Nan shook his head lightly to drive away the ghost in front of him, his headache seemed to explode, and Zhou Nan was unstable and leaned on the pillar to gasp.
"I'm surprised that you survived, the one surnamed Lu is a ruthless master, and he didn't show any mercy, I thought you couldn't survive tonight......"
"Oh, the fortune teller said that I had a robbery when I was one hundred and twenty years old......"
"Oh, is it, the grave has been dug up?"
In the dark room, Scar and Zhou Nan chatted happily, and the atmosphere was relaxed and weird. Scar sat on the clay kang and was hidden in the shadows, only the blade and the piercing eyes shone in the cold light of the fire shining in from the window.
After a while, Zhou Nan's breath was steady.
"I have a story you want to hear?" Compared with the slightly neurotic young man last night, Zhou Nan was more afraid of the calm figure in front of him.
"Don't ask for my opinion when I don't have the ability to resist, and if I could, I would choose not to listen. Zhou Nan replied.
"Hehe, it's funny!" Scar chuckled, "Then you just listen, I have a master, and of course it's not a master who taught me to steal." Scar leaned his head back against the earthen wall, his voice whispering his story.
Zhou Nan found a broken beam in the house and leaned back to listen.
"I was only nine years old when I first came to Badu, and I ran away from home. I can't remember why I ran away, it seems that I fell asleep when I was herding sheep in the mountains, but when I woke up, I lost two sheep, and I didn't find them for a long time, and then I went home and was beaten, it was a severe beating!
Then I left, I ran to the train tracks and climbed in as the train passed through the tunnel......
It was winter, and it was very cold in our place, and the ice picks hung on the trees in the mountains were very long, so I just stayed up on the top of the train and left the depression where I can't remember where I am. When the train reached Badu, I fainted and fell off the top of the train.
Zhou Nan listened quietly.
Hey, the people at the station probably thought I was dead, so they threw me directly at the garbage station, and it was my master who picked me up from the garbage station, and then I followed him like this. At that time, I was very poor, of course! There were no poor people who picked up garbage, and even if they were rich, they were poor at heart! I slept under the bridge with my master for two years. He usually doesn't like to let me follow him to pick up garbage, he said that he can live without dignity as an old man, and I have a future, so I can't spoil myself......
Hehe, I don't see how picking up garbage is a bad thing for yourself, anyway, it's all alive, isn't it......
Later, the story is very cliché. He worked hard to pick up garbage to earn money, and I worked hard to waste money in school and went to high school. I learned how to play games with others, and I forgot that I was from a mountain valley, that I had picked up garbage, and that I had a master who was dying of old age......
Actually, I wanted to call him dad, but unfortunately he didn't let him, he said he didn't deserve it, heh...... I don't think it's me. Play games, I can't play anymore without money. So he followed a few ruffians to steal things.
Oh yes. Huang Mao is the little brother I took in at that time, he was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage, I heard that he was also found in the garbage heap, and the person who picked him up found a note in his swaddling clothes that he really couldn't afford to raise it, and asked a well-wisher to help raise it!
Really T M rough DAN!
So I had a good time with him, because we're all garbage!
Leaving that aside, let's move on to the story. Once, we went to steal cables together, and the copper in the cables was very valuable at that time, especially copper! One or two could be sold for several dollars! We stole too much and were targeted by the police!
The school expelled us all. The police called me the master to the bureau to pick up people. When they saw my master, they all scolded me for being a brute, and I thought he would also call me a brute!
It didn't, guess what he said?"
Scar smirked. He said that some of the people in this world sell vegetables, some farm, some become officials, and some become thieves. If you want to be a thief, do it well! As long as you can support yourself......
Haha, what a wise old man, what a word to say? Philosophy! Yes, philosophical thinking!
Later, the orphanage where Huang Mao lived could not continue to operate, and he was homeless. I took him outside to steal, and gradually gathered a few friends, all of whom were cheap!
In fact, I found that robbing is more enjoyable than stealing, and I have a greater sense of accomplishment! The scar on my face was cut by someone, and of course the person who cut me is already old.
Yes, I've killed people, I've killed people before, it's not a big deal, and the police are not a big deal. They didn't catch me!
The master was still picking up garbage, and he said that he supported himself by this, in fact, I was quite rich at that time, but he just refused to spend my money, and he just wanted to live under the bridge.
Hey, civilized city, you know, the bottom of the bridge won't let you live.
In the end, he moved alone, and he moved the garbage alone, and he died of exhaustion......
Haha, is there any laughing pee? How can people live so ridiculously!!
Scar laughed wildly, and the corners of his eyes sparkled with ......
Huang Mao sighed under his breath outside the door......
"It's too tiring to live like this, and it's too tiring to have the sky on my head, so this time I want to ...... that day"
"What do you think of this story?" Scar asked Zhou Nan with a murderous voice.
"Do you want me to be honest?"
"Of course!"
"It's a good edit, but it's a bit cliché......"
"Hahaha, it's so interesting, you're so funny!I can't bear to kill you" Scar jumped up from the kang, jumped in front of Zhou Nan with the blade in his hand, and laughed nervously!
"I'm the one who brought this group of waste out of despair! gave them hope of survival!" Scar's eyes shimmered.
"I know that if you don't be ruled by others, the common people won't be able to live......" Zhou Nan responded calmly, as if it was not his own life that was threatened. "Let's be a little bit simpler, what do you need me to do?"
Scar sighed and returned to the shadows. "Hey...... It's a shame. ”
"Food, seeds, anything that means of life. Ten kilometers northwest from here, there is a town soaked in water, what method is your business, bring back the supplies in five days, and if the quantity is satisfied, I will let you live!"
"What about my friend?" Zhou Nan asked.
"They'll be here waiting for you to come back," Scar smiled. "Of course, you don't have to come back. There is a shortage of food right now, and I will tell you that we caught two wild boars outside, and I believe they will not be able to eat them. The demon bared its bloody teeth.
I don't care about this kind of thing, and I believe they won't care either, as long as they live, it's okay......
"Heh, I thought it would be a few months before something like this happens......"
"Sooner or later, what does it matter if it's going to happen sooner?"
"May I ask a question?" Zhou Nan took a deep breath.
"Say it, I'd love talking to you like to talk to smart people like you......" Scar responded.
"If I don't wake up tonight, will the group outside eat wild boars tomorrow?"
In the dark, Scar smiled silently.
Zhou Nan pushed open the door, and the iron rod handed over by Huang Mao looked at the busy crowd full of life around him.
Facing the darkness, he walked as if he were far away......
