Regnar has been very worried about Irene recently. He hasn't seen her for a while. Although she has been locked in a small room by her adoptive father several times before and couldn't come out, this time it seemed that the time was particularly long.
Regnar didn't want to go to Irene's house to find her. Every time he visited before, in addition to getting beaten up by the strong man, Irene's "confinement" time would be extended by one day, so he never went to Irene in the future. Home. But this time, if calculated, Regnar has not seen Eileen for almost two weeks, which has to worry him. At noon, Regnar thought twice and decided to go to Eileen's house in the afternoon to take a look. .
"Tuk tuk tuk" Regnar knocked on the door gently, and then said politely: "Hello, is Irene at home?"
Regnar knocked several times but no one responded. He thought there was no one at home, but just when he looked inside through the crack in the door, the door suddenly opened, and a pair of eyes red with alcohol were staring in the room. Regnar.
"Who am I talking about? It turns out to be that little girl's mistress." The strong man curled his tongue as he spoke, and Regna could clearly smell the strong smell of alcohol coming out of him.
"Hello, sir. I'm looking for Irene. Is she at home?" Regnar ignored the strong man's dirty words.
"Irene? She's not here!" After the strong man said that, he closed the door with a clang. Through the wooden door, Regnar heard the strong man muttering something, "That little girl is not even willing to let me touch her twice. Bah." , I don’t even bother to touch it when it looks like that!”
"Bang bang bang." Regnar knocked on the door again.
"It's not over, is it?!" The strong man was obviously starting to get a little annoyed.
Regnar looked at the thick flesh on the strong man's body, swallowed his saliva and mustered up the courage to say, "Irene isn't at home? Then where is she?"
"I told you I'm not home anymore! Don't fucking bother me anymore!" The strong man suppressed his anger and closed the door.
Regnar was really anxious this time. He knocked on the door "bang bang bang bang" and kept shouting: "Is she really not at home? Where has she gone? Tell me, I will find it myself. She, please tell me, I will go back to find him myself, and I will not come here again."
The door was opened for the third time, and the strong man obviously couldn't suppress his anger anymore. He yelled and cursed loudly: "You can't let people live in peace in this fucking afternoon, right? I told you she's not here, and she won't be here in the future. I’m here, don’t bother me anymore and get out of here!”
Regnar became even more anxious when he heard that Irene would not be here in the future. He shouted while leaning in, hoping to see Irene in the dark room. But before he could stretch his head out, the strong man had already pushed him to stagger, and then he waved his hand and gave the ungrateful boy a hard slap, and then kicked him to the ground.
"If you dare to come here again, I will break your legs! Damn, there is nothing worthy of your concern!" The strong man said these words and closed the door again.
Regnar paused on the ground for a long time before silently getting up from the ground. He squatted by the wall of the house and cried softly. This seemed to be the first time he had cried since the old man died. He was very sad, really Very sad.
Because not only was he Eileen's first friend, Eileen was actually his first friend. The children in the slums were all very aggressive, and some would often form gangs to form a group to bully one person or another. Regner, who had a somewhat withdrawn and silent personality, was obviously not their target.
Therefore, except for the old man Regnar, he had hardly talked to anyone. Later, the old man died, and Regnar became more silent and closed-off, but then Irene seemed to be a part of his dark world. A beam of bright light brought him happiness and hope. He gradually became cheerful and began to laugh.
Regnar knew that without Irene, he would definitely become distorted in the endless loneliness, and gradually become unrecognizable to himself. And Erin changed him, changed his life, and became his first friend, a friend with whom he could share, chat, and joke.
Now, this friend is gone again, this beam of light has disappeared, and Regnar feels that his world is only left with boundless darkness. What should he do? What can he do? Where has Eileen gone? Will she be bullied again there? Her looks were bound to get her into trouble. What would she do if someone threw a stone at her? I am no longer with her, no one talks to me anymore, and no one protects her anymore! So Regnar was very sad because he had nothing, because there was no one in the world with whom he could chat.
In addition to these, Regnar thought of what the strong man said just now.
"Nothing is worth worrying about so much!"
"Nothing is worth worrying about so much!"
"Nothing is worth worrying about so much!"
What the hell…
Yes, there are indeed some things in this world that others discard as useless but you regard as treasures. This is normal, after all, everyone’s values are different, but no one can deny that having something they cherish seen by others makes people very unhappy, much more unhappy than others looking down on themselves!
Perhaps in the eyes of the strong man, Irene is a dispensable person, someone who only wastes food waste, but this is everything Regnar has, the only thing Regnar owns, the only person he values.
I live in a slum with no dignity, and others look down upon me and accept it, but what should I do if the only thing I own is regarded as rubbish? You are very powerful. It’s okay to look down on me, but you must never look down on what I have! That's my only one, my everything! If even these are treated as trash, then that person is a complete trash! Because this is a denial of the meaning of a person’s existence!
Therefore, the strong man's words stung Regnar's heart like a red-hot needle. The words rang in his mind over and over again, and the needle pierced his heart again and again.
Regnar felt wronged and sad, but more than anything he was angry. He hated others looking down on him, and he hated others looking down on Eileen. He wiped his tears and slowly stood up.
Although Regnar was timid, when others bullied him in the past, he always waved his thin arms to fight back desperately. Even if the result would make him more seriously injured, he would not care about those who made him unhappy. No matter what, you must let the other party have a taste of your own power. And today, the person in this room, this big guy, is really, really unpleasant!
"Bang!" The door to Eileen's house was opened for the fourth time, but this time it was from the outside in, and the entire door panel had flown into the house.
Regnar had stopped crying. Although his face was stained with tears and his eyes were red and swollen, he had no expression now and just looked at the man in front of him indifferently.
"Damn, boy, you're very strong. You really don't want this leg anymore, right?" The strong man's voice was higher than before. It seemed that he wanted to embolden himself in this way, because he felt the presence of this person in front of him. The child had undergone some kind of change, and he felt vaguely that he might not be able to cope with it.
"Tell me where Irene is and I will let you go." Regnar said softly, as if everything was natural.
"Fuck you, I will break one of your legs today. Let me see if you still dare to be arrogant!" The strong man was completely angered by Regna's arrogant attitude. He raised his fist as big as a sandbag and hit him head on. Regnar, just by looking at his momentum, you can tell that the power of this punch is enough to knock out four of Regnar's front teeth.
But something unexpected happened. Regnar gently held his wrist, as if he was holding a feather. The arm, which was not much thicker than a branch, burst out with incredible power. It clamped the strong man's wrist tightly, preventing the strong man's fist from moving forward even an inch.
"Tell me if you still want this arm." Regnar raised his head and looked at the big man in front of him, his face still expressionless.
When the strong man saw Regnar's eyes, he suddenly felt an inexplicable fear, because he remembered that the boy's eyes were originally blue-black, but now they turned pure black. It was a deep and pure black, and he couldn't even see a trace of luster from these pupils!
The severe pain in his wrist brought his consciousness back to reality. Regnar slowly exerted force on his hand, and the bones made a slight "creep" sound under the huge grip, as if they were groaning.
The strong man began to scream like a slaughtering pig. After confirming that he had enough deterrence, Regnar loosened his grip slightly and said, "Tell me."
"I...I sold her." The strong man said tremblingly, like a frightened deer.
A cold glint flashed in Regnar's eyes, and he unconsciously increased the strength in his hands and continued to ask: "Who did you sell it to?"
"Ah! Stop pinching me. I can't tell who I sold it to, otherwise they won't let me go! Ah!" the strong man howled in pain.
"If you don't tell me, I won't let you go now." Regnar said coldly, the power in his hand getting stronger and stronger.
"You can't mess with them! Ah!" The strong man was still resisting.
"That's my own business. What you have to consider now is whether you will still rely on these hands for food in the future." Regnar continued to increase his strength.
"Okay! I said it, I said it! Damn it, let go first! It's about to break! I said it! I said it all!" The strong man finally collapsed.
Regnar let go again, and the strong man sat down on the ground and panted violently. Big beads of sweat covered his forehead, as if he had gone through an intense exercise.
"Rolson Chamber of Commerce, I sold Irene to them for three gold coins." The strong man panted for a moment and then lowered his head and said.
…
Silence, a long silence, the strong man didn't know what Regna was doing now. He didn't dare to raise his head for fear of offending the young man in front of him. He just stared at Regnar's dirty trousers with some fear, not knowing what would greet him next.
"Ah!!!!!!!!" Regnar howled like a wild wolf that had lost its last companion. The voice was heartbreaking. Even the man could feel the sadness and anger contained in the voice. .
Listening to Regnar's howl, the man suddenly remembered the kindness of Irene. This ugly little girl looked so happy all day long. Whenever he came home exhausted from doing hard work, this little girl would There was always bread and ale waiting quietly at home.
Even though he would hit Irene sometimes when he was in a bad mood, Irene would always sit in the corner and wipe her tears and start cleaning the house quietly, never making any noise. Thinking of these men, he suddenly felt a little guilty, but thinking of the three gold coins given by Rawlson, the man felt that it was not worth it. After all, those three gold coins allowed him to go to the brothel and have fun for three days. Those women Bai Huahua's breasts can't even be touched normally.
Regnar's body was trembling slightly, his hands were clenched into fists, and his nails were embedded in his flesh, bringing out a little bloodshot. Irene left, and the man in front of her sold her just for three gold coins! A violent emotion grew in his heart, causing his spirit to become trance-like.
Regnar wanted to beat the man in front of him severely, cripple him, or even kill him. But he forcibly suppressed this impulse, because after all, it was this man who raised Irene. Regner knew that if Irene was here at this time, she would not want to do this.
