In the deserted morning, everything seemed wet. Wuming County was as quiet as falling rocks at the bottom of the water.
In a remote corner, surrounded by thatch and exuding the smell of mold and rot, a few sleepy children opened their astringent eyes and looked dull. Not far away, there were several damp There were several children of the same age sleeping on the thatch. Although the sleepiness could be seen in their eyes, everyone forced their red eyes open.
????????????????? After that, there is a slightly grander courtyard of a wealthy family, with blue bricks and gray tiles, which is incompatible with the outside.
With the sound of the door being pushed open, the group of children immediately stood up and lined up neatly. At the door, there was a middle-aged man in gray clothes with a slightly bloated figure. The man twisted comfortably. He turned his waist and turned his wrist, and suddenly there was a "crackling" sound, which made the child below jump up in surprise.
The man stood in front of these children, his eyes glancing at each child like a knife, suddenly. The man stopped his wrist, and the slightly naive smile on his face turned cold.
"Come here." The man hooked one of the children with his finger. The child's face was full of fear, and his steps were like lead, and he walked over with heavy steps.
"Tell me, how much did you pay less?" the man said expressionlessly, but the meaning behind his words shocked the child.
A hint of helplessness flashed in the child's horrified eyes, and he took out a platinum silk bag from his arms and handed it forward respectfully.
Seeing this, the man snorted coldly, and the smile on his face became brighter. Suddenly, the man raised his right hand and slapped the child from before, very loudly.
The child covered his mouth without saying a word, but there seemed to be blood red liquid seeping out from the gaps between his fingers. The child's clear eyes became moist, and his eyes were full of unyielding color, but he did not move at all. , not even daring to look at the man again.
The child slowly retreated, and the other children also gathered some energy and dispersed the laziness of waking up from a dream.
The man¡¯s eyes swept over them one by one again, and suddenly a strange look appeared on his face.
"Where is Wang Xiaohu?" the man asked suddenly. The children looked at each other and whispered to each other, but they all remained silent. No one answered the man's question.
"Aren't you going to tell me?" The man said with a soft face and a cold voice.
Seeing this, a boy hesitated and responded quickly: "No, Wang Xiaohu didn't come back yesterday. He must have been caught."
The man groaned, with a thoughtful look on his face. Suddenly, a child was walking slowly on the side of the street not far away. The man narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the figure that was gradually becoming clearer in the mist, without knowing what was underneath. Which child said: "Wang Xiaohu is here."
When the man saw him, he couldn't help but feel a trace of anger on his face. With the slow-moving footsteps, the figure opposite him gradually became clear. It was Wang Xiaohu. However, Wang Xiaohu looked unusually delicate at this moment. The shabby green clothes on his body were now covered by a black shirt. Instead, Wang Xiaohu lowered his head slightly. Although his face was full of fear, his steps were never panicked from beginning to end.
Wang Xiaohu walked to the man. The man looked at Wang Xiaohu with a strange look. He could see it from the day he took Wang Xiaohu in. Wang Xiaohu always had hatred for him in his eyes, but he didn't expect it. , Wang Xiaohu dared to look directly at himself with this look at this moment.
"where did you go?"
"I don't want to help you steal anymore. I'm going to the government office to sue you. You should stay in that dark prison."
When the man heard this, he was startled at first, then suddenly chuckled. Although there was no anger on the man's face, his stern eyes looking at Wang Xiaohu were laced with a hint of cruelty. The man couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth,
"Really? It's a dark prison, so isn't the place you should go to the blood-stained hell?" As the man spoke, he suddenly raised his big hand and slapped Wang Xiaohu hard.
Suddenly, a big hand fell, and Wang Xiaohu only felt the strong wind carried by the palm scratching his face with burning pain, but there was no trace of regret on Wang Xiaohu's face.
"In that case, there is no need to keep you." The man said again.
When Wang Xiaohu saw this, he was startled at first, but did not make any move. He only saw the huge slap in his pupils expanding continuously.
A gust of breeze blew by, and Wang Xiaohu was directly picked up. The man's hand was thrown into the air. In the open space not far away, the breeze dispersed, and a delicate face emerged in the pause of the breeze. It was Liu Yan.
In the cold morning, the wind blew from nowhere. The children couldn't help but tremble and looked at Liu Yan with a strange look.
?"Are you Lu Xun?" Liu Yan looked at the man opposite and asked in a bad tone.
"Hey, you have learned how to find helpers." The man did not look at Liu Yan, but kept staring at Wang Xiaohu, his eyes full of ruthlessness.
"Lv Xun?" Liu Yan asked in a low voice again, and then there was a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth. Then, without wind, Liu Yan disappeared on the spot. There was only a crisp sound of "pop", and Liu Yan appeared in front of the man with a pair of white hands. Slap the man directly in the face,
"I asked you to answer me, didn't you hear me?" Liu Yan's face was full of anger.
The man was still in shock, with five bright red slap marks on his face. He glared angrily at the young man in front of him, his pupils stained with blood.
"If you dare to hit me, go to hell." The man's face was distorted, he raised his palm again, and said very viciously.
"Pa", there was another crisp sound. Lu Xun's hand stopped in mid-air, his face full of expression. On his left face, another slap mark appeared, which was deeply imprinted on the previous slap mark, making it even more bright red.
"Disband the Black Corner Territory, give these children freedom, and then get out of Wu Ming."
When the children around saw Lu Xun being beaten, their faces were full of disbelief at first. After hearing Liu Yan's words, they turned to excitement, but there was no joy on their faces, as if there was something unspeakable.
Lu Xun stood there blankly at this moment, without saying a word, but the pain on his face made Lu Xun's face look very ugly. Lu Xun's red eyes were open, and his teeth were trembling in anger at this moment.
Suddenly, a strange expression appeared on Lu Xun's face. Looking at Liu Yan's delicate face, he couldn't help laughing. The sound was like an ancient tree ringing a bell, echoing in Liu Yan's ears. Liu Yan felt a little weird, which made Liu Yan His heart sank, but before he made any move, Lu Xun suddenly took out a tube of bamboo from his arms. The bamboo tube was green and unremarkable, but the string at the end of the bamboo tube gave Liu Yan a familiar feeling. Liu Yan thought about it all the time. Next, he was suddenly shocked. It looked a bit like the Flying Bamboo used when he was chased by Yue soldiers. Seeing this, the corners of Liu Yan's mouth twitched. At the same time, with a flash of red light under his feet, his body swayed and he looked straight towards Lu Xun. Run.
"It's too late." Lu Xun laughed. Lu Xun grabbed the end of the rope fiercely and pulled it down. Suddenly, with an explosion, a cluster of starlight like a meteor shot rapidly into the sky.
Liu Yan screamed secretly in his heart. A red light flashed under his feet, and he jumped up, chasing the starlight. He was already three meters above the ground. Liu Yan suddenly swayed and disappeared into the void. Then, under the starlight Directly above, the space shook, and Liu Yan's figure suddenly emerged.
With a low cry, a red ball of light quickly condensed under his feet. The starlight continued to rush upward, like an arrow from a string, piercing deeply into the red ball of light.
The starlight slowly melted into the red ball of light. Liu Yan's face was covered with sweat and his teeth were clenched. The starlight was still moving upward in the red ball of light. The shoes under Liu Yan's feet even melted, and his exposed skin was bearing the ball of light at this moment. Extremely hot temperatures.
With a painful scream, accompanied by a slight "puff" sound, the red light at Liu Yan's feet dissipated into the void together with the starlight. When Liu Yan saw this, his frown relaxed.
Landing on his toes, he staggered slightly, but Liu Yan looked at Lu Xun with a fierce look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lu Xun hurriedly ran back. The fat around his waist seemed to be trembling with fear at this moment. Lu Xun looked at the door less than two meters in front of him. He never felt that he had walked a distance countless times but at this moment. It seems so far away.
Just as Lu Xun put his hand on the door, a hot breath came from behind, getting closer and closer. Lu Xun's face showed horror. Then, like a bloodthirsty beast, the red light behind him directly Lu Xun was engulfed in it, the heat wave was rolling, and the breath it emitted directly turned the surrounding water vapor into mist.
With a "bang", Lu Xun's bloated body fell down. The air was filled with the smell of coke, and Liu Yan snorted coldly. Liu Yan lowered his head slightly, looking at the burn marks on the soles of his feet, and looking at Lu Xun who was lying on the ground and squirming in pain, Liu Yan said with a slight parting of his thin lips:
"Remember my name, my name is Liu Yan." After saying that, Liu Yan's clear eyes flashed with a sharp light again.
¡¡¡¡
At the corner not far away, a stern eye stared at Liu Yan with a sinister gaze, chuckled a few times, and murmured,
