The skinny Wood crawled on the ground with an expressionless expression, dragging his stiff body. His eyes were a little dull, but in that turbid dullness, there was a heart-stopping perseverance. wWw. QuAnBen-XIaoShuo. coM He gritted his teeth and crawled forward with difficulty, slowly climbed to the door of another porcelain shop, and lay down next to a luxurious two-wheeled carriage.
The scene just now happened again. The guards beat Wood. A charming girl said a few good words for Wood. The playboy generously dropped a few change. Wood quickly threw the gold coins aside this time, only holding a few silver coins and copper coins in his mouth.
He carefully looked around, then let a few quick pickpockets rush over and take away the few gold coins in front of him.
With a heavy breath, Wood crawled slowly. He crawled to a relatively remote alley with difficulty, lay down at the door of a small wine shop that was still open, and spat out a few silver coins and more than ten dollars from his mouth. A copper.
A boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old walked out of the small wine shop. He looked at Wood lying on the ground, sighed heavily, then picked up the money on the ground, turned around and walked into the small wine shop. When the waiter came out, he was carrying two oil-paper bags in his hands. One oil-paper bag contained several large pieces of black bread, and the other contained several smoked sausages.
"Old man Wood, I haven't seen you for a long time!" The clerk hung two oil paper bags on both sides of Wood's neck and said with a somewhat joking smile: "I heard that you were sick a few months ago? We also I made a bet about when you would die, but I didn’t expect you to come back to life again!”
Wood raised his disembodied face and muttered in a low voice: "How could I die? Hey, I'm Uncle Wood. I have to live well."
After coughing violently for a few times, Wood put his elbows on the ground and crawled forward slowly, gradually climbing into the darkness.
Lin Qi stood on the roof of the wine shop, quietly looking at Wood crawling forward. Then he let out a heavy breath. He stepped on the rooftops on both sides of the street and carefully followed Wood, trying to see where he was going.
Wood crawled forward for a full two hours. He crawled with great difficulty into the civilian area of Xicheng District, and then crawled into a dirty alley full of mud. Slowly crawling through the foul-smelling mud. Wood crawled into a shabby little courtyard.
Closing the broken courtyard door with his head, Wood coughed loudly and moved inch by inch into the only well-preserved room in the courtyard.
The room was covered with straw, and five men who were so thin that they were out of shape were lined up in a row. At first glance, each of these men had ugly faces. They were all considered to be tall and powerful men. They were lying on the straw pile in embarrassment when they heard the sound of Wood entering the door. They struggled to raise their heads and looked at Wood expressionlessly.
The big man closest to the door laughed strangely: "Boss, you came back alive again? Isn't it easy? It seems that you got money today? Do we have to live on again?"
Another big man rolled his eyes and sneered: "Why are you coming back? Let us die. We really don't want to live anymore. You can just be hit to death by a carriage outside, or you can insult a noble and be beaten to death by them, and you will die." We won’t have to live anymore.”
Wood turned over and entered the room, and he laughed strangely: "What nonsense are you talking about? We must live, we must live! We can't give up on ourselves, brothers, we have all been rich, we have all been uncles Yes. We are just in trouble now. Sooner or later, we will have a good life!"
The five big men looked at Wood expressionlessly and shook their heads at the same time. He sighed heavily.
The Wood monster laughed a few times and found that the other people ignored him. Wood smiled awkwardly, then took off the oil paper bag hanging around his neck and threw it on the ground casually: "You bunch of dead ghosts, let's eat. If you want to die, you have to become a dead ghost."...,
After laughing triumphantly for a few times, Wood shook his head and said: "I said it before. I'm smarter than you. Now I'm looking for money from those young men who bring beautiful women out. They are very generous! So, we won't do it in the future." We will be hungry! We can even save some money, and sooner or later we can raise a sum of money to ask a pharmacist to treat our wounds!"
The five big men looked at each other, shook their heads, then twisted their bodies at the same time, and slowly crawled towards the two oil paper bags.
Lin Qi stood on the roof, watching their movements through the cracked roof, and his brows could not help but frown tightly. The five big men in the room were more seriously injured than Wood. If Wood could barely crawl on the ground, as long as these five men crawled a little, they would be involved in injuries to their internal organs, and they would probably vomit blood and die. die.
So Wood could only go out begging, and after getting money and supplies, he would buy meals and come back to the five men. And not only the injuries to the internal organs, the limbs of these five men were also smashed with blunt instruments. At least Wood's two arms could still move freely, but their arms could only maintain the most basic movements.
Six men who were tall and strong but as thin as skeletons lay silently on the ground, chewing big mouthfuls of black bread and sausages. They chewed without saying a word, as if they were chewing the flesh and blood of someone.
After they had eaten everything, Wood rolled over and came to the corner of the room. He carefully opened a piece of floor and threw in a silver coin and a few coppers hidden in his sleeves. This is a hole one foot square and about three inches deep, with a thick layer of coins already stored in it. Wood looked at these coins with pride and said with a smile: "Give us a few more years of hard work, and one of our brothers should be able to recover. By then, life will be easier!"
Several big men sighed at the same time. They closed their eyes and lay down on the straw pile in a row.
Wood covered the floor, covered the floor with a ball of straw, and lay quietly on the ground. For a moment, no one spoke in the room, except for the heavy breathing of six men.
After a long time, a man suddenly started crying: "I really, really want to kill them!"
Wood coughed heavily and said in a low voice: "Shut up! Keep these things in mind, sooner or later, we will settle accounts with them! Don't look at them being complacent now, hum, sooner or later..."
Another man asked indifferently: "Boss, will there really be that day? They are all big shots in the imperial capital now, what about us? We are just a group of cripples, we are just a group of beggars, what else can we do?"
Wood stared at the roof with wide eyes. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't believe that those who betrayed their boss can really live a happy life. I don't believe that good guys like us can really It's been like this all my life! The leader was thrown into the church's divine prison, but there are still Enzo-sama and others... They will come back!"
A big man murmured to himself: "Lord Enzo? Are they... still alive?"
Wood was silent for a long time, then gritted his teeth and muttered: "Of course, they must be alive. Even if they die, they have to get up from the ground. How can they die? If they die, what will we brothers do? What should we...how? manage?"
Lin Qi rubbed his nose and shook his head gently.
"It really makes me sad. Don't you have any confidence in me? Don't you believe that I can escape from the Black Abyss Prison? Tsk, put all your hope on Enzo and the others? This really makes me This leader is very sad!"
"But, you guys. Hey, you can really survive. This is good, very good! You have been prosperous and enjoyed it, and then you have been tortured and suffered. But I want to say that anyone who is loyal to me Those who are kind will definitely receive blessings!”…,
"My brother! Very good! Wood! Very good!"
Lin Qi took a deep breath. Just as he was about to jump into the yard, the door of the yard was suddenly kicked open violently.
A stout man wearing low-level aristocratic clothing, and judging from the coat of arms on his chest, he should be a second-level knight, holding a girl with heavy makeup in his arms, and walked in with a proud smile. Behind this stout man were a dozen private soldiers wearing leather armor. Although these leather armors are not inlaid with runes and are not magic equipment, they are considered to be very sophisticated items among ordinary equipment.
Each set of leather armor costs more than two thousand gold coins, which is a considerable investment.
"Wood, my brother, I'm here to visit you!" The stout man laughed loudly, his hands vigorously rubbed the plump buttocks of the girl next to him, and he walked into the house triumphantly. As soon as he entered the house, he kicked the big man closest to the door so hard that he rolled over several times and almost hit his head on the wall.
Wood straightened his upper body angrily, and he roared in a low voice: "Ablin, what are you doing here? What the hell do you want to do?"
The stout man kicked Wood hard on the chest. He raised his head majestically and kept sneering: "Please call me Mr. Knight Ablin! Didn't you see the knight badge on my chest? Today is the day I graduate from the third level. It’s a good day for a knight to be promoted to a second-level knight, so I came here specifically to see my old brother! Tsk, tsk, how come Master Wood, who was once rewarded with 100,000 gold coins, has become a beggar now?”
Wood gasped, staring at Aboulin with red eyes, but he couldn't say a word.
Lin Qi looked deeply at Abulin. How could Lin Qi not remember this guy's rough face
At the trial meeting that year, Abu Lin was the first to jump out and identify Lin Qi. Lin Qi still remembered his frothing face.
"Haha" After laughing a few times, Lin Qi nodded slowly. It was a coincidence that he came to Borelli today.
