Section 763 - The Law of Survival in Small Places
Just now, Lin Mo sensed in advance that the child's action of bumping into him was not an accident, but he didn't dodge and let it hit him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that he didn't expect the other party to take away his money bag, but instead took the Type 92 combat pistol that was hidden close to him.
No matter how crazy and ruthless they are on the battlefield, the Dragon Knight is always very tolerant of young children.
Life in a remote town is hard, and it is not unacceptable that a few children can survive just by being stolen some gold coins.
Gently chanting the incantation, above Lin Mo's spread palm, a white light flashed, and a round of light mirrors the size of a dinner plate appeared, and in the center of the flowing runes, the figures of the group of children who had fled quickly appeared.
He didn't think about pursuing anything, but he didn't want the children to break each other because they accidentally touched the Type 92 combat pistol, after all, firearms are murderous weapons, and it is too dangerous in the hands of a group of ignorant children.
Following the flat map of the town, Lin Mo unhurriedly embellished the picture mapped by the light mirror technique, and unhurriedly embellished the group of ignorant imps.
In the shadows around the corner of a nearby house, several men with fierce faces looked at the round of light mirror technique in Lin Mo's hand from a distance.
Compared with those little ghosts, they care more about the valuable goods on each other's bodies, but this generous young master seems to be far more than just a high-class family.
"Magician!"
"Black Hand, what to do, he's a magician!"
"If you offend a magician, we will die. ”
Several of his subordinates trembled, whether in the aristocratic class or the commoner class, the power of the magician was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they immediately had the feeling of kicking on the iron plate, or the barbed iron plate.
"Panic, panic what?! Isn't it just a magician. Did you see the follower? He's just a man, nothing to be afraid of. ”
Although he was also scared in his heart, the black hand couldn't show his timidity, and after lowering his throat and scolding, he continued calmly: "I heard that the magician master is very rich, as long as we suddenly give him a ruthless one, and then drag the person to feed the beast, hum, who can know that we did it, do this vote." It's enough for us to eat and drink for the rest of our lives, and we no longer have to nest in this shabby town to live a life of being a human in a bustling big city. ”
With a few subordinates to live together, one must be ruthless, and the other must be tempting enough, as a local villain of Moxin Town, the black hand knows this well.
I can't eat and drink for a lifetime.
The life of a superior person.
I heard that a few men had red skins and shortness of breath, this shabby town without much oil and water. They've had enough.
"Black Hand, we listen to you!"
"What you say, how do we do it!"
"It's done! I want to live a human life, and I don't want to die here of old age. ”
Follow the Black Hand as you wander around the town and the mines. A few guys who make a living by extortion and stealing chickens and dogs made a decision immediately.
The merchants and tax collectors who came to the town regularly every month saw them as if they were savages, and behind their smiling hypocritical expressions was deep contempt and indifference.
Buried with this decaying town in this poor mountain and bad water, it is better to fight, maybe it is a way out.
"Okay! Let's go find a couple of guys to get by. Find an opportunity to be this superior person, and replace us with a superior person. ”
The Black Hand nodded through gritted teeth, satisfied with the reaction of his men. That's exactly what he wants.
The kid who took advantage of Lin Mo and took a few children to hide in an abandoned alley where no one was around, and this place was just a secret stronghold in the town.
As long as there is no one, it can be regarded as a stronghold for their unscrupulous fun, and there are so-called hidden places for these children in the town and outside the town and in the mining area.
The composition of this group of children is somewhat complicated, some are single parents, some have too many brothers and sisters in the family, and some are simply orphans without parents and mothers, all of them have a common characteristic, and they are all children who lack care and education.
The family can't eat enough, and there is nothing to cover up, so they can only mess around outside all day long, or go to the mining area to steal ores, smelt stones and steal metal ingots, and if they want to survive without being bullied, they can only form a group or cling to the strong, which is the instinct of people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
If he grows up, he may follow the path of his fathers and become a dirty and rude miner, or an idle ruffian.
"Dongbai! Dongbai! Let's see, what kind of good thing it is. ”
"It's better to have a bag of copper coins, the tax collector was touched by Dongbai two months ago, and the expression was simply beautiful, hehe! The angry shouting and scolding could even be heard by the whole town. ”
"If that young master from a high-class family finds out that his money bag is missing, his face must be very interesting?"
"I heard that he ordered steamed bacon and pancakes for fifty people at Qingya! I drooled when I thought about it, he was really a first-class person, and he could eat fifty people in one meal. ”
"Stupid, people eat one portion, throw away forty portions!
"You miscalculated, it should be thirty-seven, no, it's forty-one, it's not right, it should be ......"
"It's also the turn of these rich people to suffer a little, just cheap us. ”
The children excitedly gathered around the older child, who was the best stealer in town, and was also the leader of the children, and the townspeople called him Dongbai.
Orphaned by the death of both his parents in a landslide five years ago, he became lawless and lived by eating and stealing, and it is rumored that the child even killed people, and even the town's villains did not want to provoke him.
"What is this?"
"It looks weird, it's an iron object, like it's made of black iron. ”
"No, it's supposed to be fine iron. ”
"You're all wrong, it's steel, but it doesn't seem like it. ”
Although the children in the mining town have not received much education, they know far more about various ores and metals than ordinary people over time.
"It does look weird!"
Pinching what he had just gotten his hands on, Dongbai looked up and down suspiciously.
Straight or not straight, not bent, with a deep hole, the workmanship looks very fine, but he doesn't know what it is for, his fingers pressed on the trigger, tried to force it, but could not move.
Fortunately, this Type 92 combat pistol was not loaded, and the safety was locked, otherwise with this hook of fingers, a dazed and ignorant little friend next to him would be shot in the head by a bullet, and Bai Huahua's brain would immediately collapse everyone's face.
After pondering for a long time, Dongbai still didn't know the essentials, so he could only sigh and say, "Let's go to the grocery store and ask He Lagu, he may know what this thing is, maybe he can give a good price." ”
Although he didn't get a money bag, he was not discouraged, but tried to make this thing more money when he realized it.
"Horaghu, that miser?!, might as well go to Garble in the warehouse, even if it's a black hand. ”
"Stupid! Garble will make excuses for swallowing our stuff for nothing, and this is not the first time he has done this, and although the black hand guy will give money, sometimes he will not only want money, but he will kill him. ”
"The blacksmith is a good man, he will definitely buy it. ”
"What are you going to do with it? Do you make it into a dagger? If you waste things and can't afford to pay a price, I think it's better to change people, right? Those sluts in the prostitutes are okay, they have spare money in their hands, maybe they are willing to gamble." ”
Boys, you and I argue word by word.
Regardless of all walks of life in Moxin Town, as long as it is a shop that has opened the door, it will quietly purchase some ores or finished metal ingots in private, and even process them into various metal products, such as swords and armor, which can be sold at a higher price.
Even the mine owners in the mining area, the owners of the smelters and the tax collectors all kept a tacit understanding to turn a blind eye and only eat meat for themselves, and some of the soup leaked out between their fingers for these small fish and shrimp to drink.
Even in the middle of nowhere, the town has its own rules, and Dongbai, who is familiar with the rules of survival, shook his head and said, "Although He Lagu is stingy, at least he hasn't swallowed our things, and he also likes some strange things that he hasn't seen before, maybe he can sell them for some money." ”
As the leader of these children, Dongbai immediately slapped the board, and the others immediately quieted down, and the guys who didn't understand the rules had already been kicked out of this small gang.
Whether it was Dongbai or these children, they didn't know that the owner was curiously watching their every move from a distance nearby.
"Dongbai, Holagu, kind of interesting!"
Lin Mo obtained some information through lip reading, and since the Type 92 combat pistol was not in danger of being triggered, he did not show up rashly, but chose to continue to pay attention.
As a person who has come over, he knows very well that these children are the head snakes of the town, with a wide range of activities, small goals, and unobtrusive goals, and they are often more likely than adults to obtain some unknown secrets.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.
While the dragon knights were staring at the group of imps, a few dead "yellow finch" really thought they were hunting a praying mantis.
Knock knock!~
The half-covered grocery door panel was smashed loudly.
"Ho Ragu, Ho Ragu, Ho Ragu, Ho Raghu, sloth Horagu, stingy ghost, Ho Ragu!"
Amid the laughter of the children, a lazy and impatient voice came from inside the grocery store.
"Who! What little cub screams! pouts his ass and asks Uncle Holagu to give him a few hard strokes with a broom stick. ”
The door crunched back, revealing the face of a middle-aged man with a ragged beard and sleepy eyes, rubbing his eyes while angrily intimidating the lawless and impolite little things outside the store.
A strange smell of smoke immediately poured out, and there was not even a single light in the dimly lit grocery store.
