Chapter 5: Strength
"You take us to Qin Ruo's house, and when Qin Ruo comes back, I will let you go. Shadow Sixty-Eight said to the living man.
"Yes, yes, I'll take the two adults over. He said hurriedly. He had witnessed with his own eyes that from the murder to the destruction of corpses, these two people didn't even blink their eyes, and he suddenly felt that even if he found Qin Ruo, he would be disposed of by these two people in the end. With a wry smile, he took the two of them to West Street.
"Uncle Hei, why do you say that this firefly mine can be used as the driving energy of the Star Boat?" Qin Ruo asked Uncle Hei after he reached the bottom of the mine, kicking a small piece of firefly under his feet. He still couldn't understand why this firefly mine could drive the starship to fly.
Lighting systems have been installed in the mines, which will not affect the work of Qin Ruo and others.
Uncle Hei scratched his head and said, "I don't know about this, but the control of firefly mines is very strict. "Although Uncle Hei has been working in the mine all year round, he doesn't know what kind of knowledge there is.
"Qin boy, let's leave this alone. We just have to do the job well, and that's what learned people study. A big guy like me does manual work. It's that you kid didn't go to the academy to study at such a young age, and came to the mine to make a living at such a young age. Uncle Hei looked at the small piece of firefly that was still fiddling with and said.
He once asked Qin Ruo why he didn't go to the academy, but Qin Ruo just told him that his parents had died, and then he had to take care of his sister so he didn't go to the academy.
Sometimes Uncle Hei didn't believe that what Qin Ruo said was true, because he often saw Qin Ruo sometimes looking into the distance in a daze, like he had a lot of things hidden in his heart but couldn't find anyone to tell. Whenever Qin Ruo was asked what was wrong at this time, Qin Ruo always quickly returned to normal and told him that he was fine.
"You two don't talk over there, put the firefly mine in the hanging basket and let the people above pull it up. A stout man named Li Juntong shouted at Qin Ruo and Uncle Hei.
Qin Ruo was the last to put the fireflies in the basket in the basket, looking at the basket that was slowly rising, he was suddenly a little confused, why did he come here, he didn't know who killed his parents, and he didn't have a clue about his future life.
Five years of running around made him unable to see the future, from the time he was sent away by his parents, he and his young sister were caught up by the mysterious man in black for the first time, when the man in black was about to take the two away, Qin Qingxue's sudden burst of power easily killed a few people and fell into a coma.
He picked up the unconscious Qin Qingxue and left there, he was very scared, afraid that Qin Qingxue would die. He didn't dare to go to a crowded place, he was afraid that someone would come to arrest him after killing someone. He hugged Qin Qingxue and hid in the abandoned houses in the slums.
Qin Ruo took out the star card, which was given to him by his father temporarily, and told him that this card could be used to withdraw star coins in the stars of the whole star domain. Qin Ruo placed Qin Qingxue and went outside with the star card.
After he came back from buying things, Qin Qingxue hadn't woken up yet, so he put the blanket he bought back on Qin Qingxue's body. After eating a little casually, he has been guarding Qin Qingxue. He was afraid that when she woke up, she would lose control when she knew that she had killed someone. He was going to guard her.
In the middle of the night, a sound came: "Boss, today I saw a little kid hiding in this broken house with a big bag of things." Qin Ruo woke up when he heard this, and he was annoyed that he didn't know why he fell asleep.
"Take out the money you have, or I'll take you and sell you to the slave traders. The scar-faced boss at the head said with a flashlight shining on Qin Ruo's face.
Qin Ruo blocked Qin Qingxue behind him after a few of them came in. Qin Ruo said timidly: "I don't have money now, only food." "Qin Ruo bought some food and blankets when he went out, and he bought them with his star card, so he didn't have any money on him.
"Little brat, my subordinates saw you buy something, you said you don't have any money, do you think we believe it, we won't rob you just because you are a child. You can't have a quarrel with your parents and run away from home, do you?" Scarface laughed as soon as he finished speaking.
The piercing laughter came into Qin Ruo's ears, he didn't speak, in the past, when he was angry, his father would coax him. But after his father opened the door and sent him away, he no longer knew whether his parents were dead or alive.
Scarface looked at Qin Ruo, who was silent, and said to the little brother beside him, "Go and search him to see if there are any star coins." ”
"Okay boss. One of the three junior brothers, with all yellow hair, walked towards Qin Ruo.
Qin Ruo let him search his body, but he was still blocking Qin Qingxue, who was covered with a blanket behind him. Qin Ruo's star card was searched out by him. The necklace around his neck was also pulled off. Qin Qingxue, who was blocked by him, was not found.
"Big guy, this kid has a star card on him, and this necklace is worth a lot of money at first glance. Yellow Fur took the object and handed it to Scarface.
Scarface glanced at the things handed over by Huang Mao, and then said to Qin Ruo: "Such a little kid still has a star card, it must be that he secretly took his parents' star card after a quarrel." Taking the things handed over by Huang Mao, Scarface forcefully broke the star card in half and threw it at Qin Ruo's feet.
"Eh, boss, why don't we ask him for the password?" Huang Mao asked Scarface with a puzzled look as he looked at the broken star card.
"A kid who sneaked out of the house, you really thought his parents would tell him the password, and we asked in vain. Take the necklace and sell it for money. Scarface looked at Huang Mao with disdain, and he was a little puzzled how he had taken Ben's little brother.
Scarface noticed that Qin Ruo had been standing still, and the blanket behind him seemed to be covered with something. He walked over and pushed Qin Ruo away, lifted the blanket, and saw Qin Qingxue lying on the ground, and burst into a foul mouth: "I, Cao, this kid also ran away from home with the little girl, and he is really promising." ”
"No, please don't touch her, don't sell us to slave traders. Qin Ruo knelt at Scarface's feet, hugged Scarface tightly and cried.
At this time, Huang Mao and others came over, and Huang Mao said: "Boss, this little girl looks okay, and he is also a big beauty when he grows up, or why don't we sell him to a big man in the city as a maid?"
Scarface slapped Huang Mao's head hard: "Let's just stealthily rob and bully the people in the slums, if we really sell these two children, what's the difference between them and animals." "I don't know what's wrong with this little girl, we haven't woken up with such a big movement?" After speaking, he touched Qin Qingxue's forehead with his hand and found that there was nothing wrong.
"Boy, what's wrong with her, we haven't woken up when we're so noisy. Scarface asked Qin Ruo suspiciously, even if a child sleeps so noisily, he should wake up.
"My sister is fine, please leave quickly, we really don't have any money, you can take a little bit of food over there, please let us go." Qin Ruo replied with a sob.
Qin Ruo still wanted to say that in fact, they didn't run away from home, but when he thought of the people who were killed by Qin Qingxue, he didn't say anything, just begged Scarface and the others to leave.
Scarface didn't embarrass Qin Ruo, he didn't want to be nosy, so he took the necklace and left. Scarface was still thinking when he left, I usually took them to stealthily rob and rob it secretly, but today I actually bullied the children. It's time to do something else.
Scarface looked at the necklace on his hand and smiled softly, and he decided to change himself. And this necklace was doomed to the failure of his plan to change forever when he sold the stolen goods.
Qin Ruo watched Scarface and the others leave, and made up his mind to leave with Qin Qingxue at dawn, he decided to listen to his father's instructions and go to the Zelan Star Domain.
The next morning, Qin Qingxue woke up and the first thing she said was: "Brother, I'm hungry." ”
Qin Ruo hadn't slept since then, and when he heard Qin Qingxue's voice, he hurriedly took the bread and water he bought yesterday and handed it to Qin Qingxue.
Qin Qingxue took the bread and water and ate it, she didn't ask Qin Ruo why she was here.
"Brother, Mom and Dad are... Didn't something happen? Are we not going back... Go?" Ten-year-old Qin Qingxue asked Qin Ruo vaguely while eating.
Qin Ruo didn't intend to hide it from her, she already knew a little bit of it: "Well, something happened to my parents, and we can't go back, so my parents let us go to the Zelan Star Domain by ourselves." "Do you remember what happened yesterday morning, Qingxue?" Qin Ruo asked tentatively.
"What happened yesterday morning? Didn't Dad push us through the door he opened? And here we are. Qin Qingxue looked at Qin Ruo a little confused, not knowing how he could ask such a stupid question.
"Oh, oh, it's okay, I'm just talking nonsense. We'll leave here when you're done. Qin Ruo didn't want to stimulate Qin Qingxue either, he planned to put what happened yesterday morning in his stomach and rot, and he would never tell her what happened yesterday.
