"Hey, stop! You two brats, stop for me!!" On the street not far from the arena, three figures were running quickly.
Running in front were two children in ragged clothes, unkempt hair, and scars on their necks, hands and feet. They looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old. They were little beggars that could be seen everywhere in the streets of Shenjing.
Most of them are children abandoned by their parents. They were abandoned because their parents could not afford the cost of support and the heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Some of the lucky ones survived and grew up wandering on the streets, and then lived at the bottom of Shenjing. Adopted by gangs of all sizes, they eventually became beggars, thieves, gangsters, and even accomplices in the abduction and trafficking of women and children.
Of course, some of them are children kidnapped and stolen by these gangs. Some of them cannot be sold, so some are simply disabled and forced to sell and beg on the streets. Some smart ones are trained to become gang members and have to report to the gang regularly every week. If you turn in your share, you will be severely beaten if you fail to complete it.
These are the darkest and most evil corners of this prosperous and powerful empire. Even the scorching sun cannot shine into these cold and remote places.
It is precisely because of such cruel exploitation that these children are willing to take risks in order to make money, so naturally such a grand world's number one fighting competition is their goal.
It's just that they didn't dare to steal from those high-ranking monks, so they only dared to target the "helpers", "guys" and "groommen".
The person who was chasing them and yelling curses was the short helper who was selling war reports to Li Chengfeng. When he ran, he broke the string of copper coins on his waist. Thousands of copper coins scattered in all directions. There was a rush of people around.
The short gangster was a man who had been afraid of poverty since he was a child. Although he accepted a piece of silver from Li Chengfeng, he still refused to part with the scattered coins. He went around frantically chasing after them, and each of them grabbed a large handful when he spotted the two men. After the little beggar took the copper coins, the short helper immediately chased after the two little beggars and forced the two little beggars to return the money to him.
But the little beggar, who was under huge pressure to survive, was not willing to hand over the money he had grabbed. The three of them chased and fled, rushing out of the arena.
Seeing the three of them chasing each other across two streets, the short man who was chasing them saw that these two little bastards were running so fast. When they saw that they were about to catch them, they ducked and ducked. Just like a loach.
The short gangster ran out of breath and gritted his teeth and shouted: "I know you!! Po Jiao San, stinky rocks! You can't run away!!"
One of the two children had one of his legs broken by a thief when he was a child, so he walked a bit unevenly. The other was an abandoned baby when he was picked up and thrown into the sewer by his parents. There is nothing more than a hard stone.
The child who ran on high and low legs but was not slow at all turned around and shouted: "Short-footed hair, you are a tough cock, so what if you lend this little money to our young master! Children in the world have a common financial relationship, your father and mother Haven’t I taught you anything?”
The short gangster named Shortfoot Hair was so angry that he said: "You two bastards, don't let us catch you, otherwise, I will teach you to shed your skin!!"
When the two thieves ran to a crossroads, they didn't say a word. They split up and fled to the two alleys with a tacit understanding. For a moment, Shortfoot was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to pursue the one on the left or the one on the right.
Shortfoot Hair hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and chased after High and Low Foot. As soon as he hesitated, High Low Foot had already left him more than ten meters away. Shortfoot Hair yelled: "You little bastard is lame and can run very fast! "
The tall and low-footed thief quickly took Shortfoot around a street. When he saw that Shortfoot was already chasing him, he suddenly ducked into the alley next to him and got into a dark and narrow alley. Among them, Shortfoot Hair was already chasing after him in a hurry. Whether he could get the money back or not was another matter. He was going to let it out no matter what!
But when he reached the entrance of the alley and was about to turn a corner, a stick suddenly came from the corner, hitting the unsuspecting shortfoot Mao firmly on the head, knocking him to the ground.
Shortfoot threw his head back and fell. For a moment he felt dizzy and dizzy. He struggled to get up and shook his head vigorously to look forward. He saw that the two little thieves had gathered together and walked quickly towards the alley. Escape into the depths.
At this time, Shortlegs also realized that this must be the child who escaped on the fork in the road and took a detour to ambush him here, allowing him to get hit by this blow!
Shortlegs was so angry that he staggered up, shook his head vigorously, and stumbled after him.
But after chasing him for a few steps, he suddenly heard a scream coming from the two thieves. Shortfoot Mao was overjoyed and thought to himself: I have been a thief all my life, and I finally got my retribution today! Huh, let you two little bastards steal my hard-earned money!
Shortfoot Mao covered the blood from the wound with one hand. The blood seeped out from between his fingers. He didn't notice it. He just staggered towards the corner. When he came to the corner, he was dizzy. Subconsciously, I held onto the corner of the wall and then leaned outside.
When he looked around, Shortfoot Hair saw the most terrifying scene in his life.
He thought that he had grown up in a gang and had seen many kinds of lynchings. He also saw those inhuman thieves cutting off children's hands and feet, picking off their hamstrings, breaking their bones, and turning them into deformed children. The horrific scene of becoming disabled.
However, none of this could compare to what he saw in front of him.
One of the two children fell to the ground, trembling and looked up at a blond man sitting in a wheelchair in front of them. The other child was floating in the air, his limbs were trembling, and he was struggling but could not move at all. Behind this forbidden man stood an extremely beautiful man. At a glance, Dumpty Hair could recognize who these two men were.
This is none other than the follower monk next to Li Chengfeng!
And the person sitting in the wheelchair is the puppet master who won ten consecutive victories today!
This extremely handsome man's empty-eyed hand is holding the handle of the wheelchair, like a mechanical doll, motionless, while the puppet master sitting in the wheelchair has one hand slightly raised, and the other hand is pointing towards the high and low feet in front of him. The child stretched out his hand, and he touched it gently from afar. The flesh and blood on the face of the high and low feet were slightly dented with a palm print, as if the puppet master had actually touched his face.
Master Puppet smiled and said, "Today is your lucky day."
Master Puppet slightly retracted his fingers, and he screamed with high and low feet. However, as soon as his scream reached his throat, Master Puppet gently shook his fingers at his mouth, making a silencing gesture. The sound of the high and low feet was stuck in his throat. He was trembling all over. A gap opened from the top of his head. Blood gushed out like spring water. His entire skin began to fall off completely, as if he was shedding his skin. , in just two snaps of his fingers, the high and low feet completed the "sloughing" amidst violent and crazy tremors, and a complete human skin fell from his ankles, leaving only a bloody flesh man floating in the air. Blood is like rain, blood gathers into a river!
The other child was so frightened that he turned his head and tried to escape, but as soon as he took two steps, Master Puppet stopped him in place with his finger.
Shortfoot didn't dare to look anymore and immediately pulled his head back. He covered his mouth with both hands and almost curled up into a ball. There were waves of splashing water in the alley next to him. If you didn't know better, After hearing this, some people would think that it was someone splashing water, but Shortfoot Hair knew that it was the sound of another child being skinned on the spot, and the blood spurting on the ground...
Not long after, the sound of water drops on the street disappeared, and a gurgling sound of a wheelchair was heard, gradually getting farther and farther away. Only when the sound completely disappeared did Shortfoot dared to stretch out tremblingly with tears in his eyes. He glanced at his head.
But there was nothing on the street, not the two human skins, not the two bloody corpses, not the two terrifying monks, not to mention the river of blood.
All this seemed to be just his imagination. Those two children had no surnames or surnames. No one cared about their birth when they were alive, and it was as if they had never come to this world when they died.
They came to this world lightly like a feather, and disappeared in this world in a flash like a puff of smoke.
No one cares, no one misses me.
