In the quiet night, the moonlight shines into the house through the holes in the roof, reflecting a slightly skewed bed with a person leaning on it.
Suddenly, the dilapidated door made a slight "squeak" sound, and two sneaky cats entered the house.
Seeing the young man lying on the bed, seemingly sleeping soundly, the two of them relaxed their vigilance and stopped being so cautious.
"Is it him?" someone asked the person next to him in a low voice.
Looking at the man in the moonlight, the person in question nodded: "Yes, that's him. Let's go to work."
The two of them walked to the bed, and one of them took off a sack from his shoulder and placed it on the ground. It seemed that he was going to put the prostitute into it.
"Boy, you can't blame us brothers. You can only blame yourself for your bad fate. You have offended my young master. Anyway, your miserable life is meaningless. You should die early and be reincarnated. Try to be born in a wealthy family in your next life..."
"Stop talking nonsense, come quickly and put this kid into a sack."
"Hey, why is he holding a brick in his hand? Hey! He's holding it pretty tightly..."
"Don't worry about it, let him catch it. I thought of a good idea. When I get to that place, if I don't give him a weapon, I will let him take this brick up. Anyway, he will die. When the young master sees him, he will definitely be happier. , maybe they will reward us again.”
"Haha!! It's really a disservice to you to be careful, but I like..."
The two of them moved quickly, as if they were used to doing this kind of thing. They put the boy into a sack, tied it up, lifted it on their shoulders, left the house, and quickly disappeared into the night...
… …
Bai Yunfei felt that he had a very comfortable sleep this time, his whole body was warm, and his consciousness was a little blurry. He didn't know where he was. Anyway, he just didn't want to get up and wanted to sleep for a while.
"Young man, wake up, wake up..."
The sudden sound in his ears made Bai Yunfei wake up a lot, and then he felt someone pushing his shoulder. He finally opened his eyes with excitement, and then sat up.
He patted his forehead in a daze and murmured: "What's wrong with me?... What is this place?"
He suddenly realized that he was not at home. There was a layer of hay under him. Next to him, an old man with white hair was looking at him with some concern.
"Old man, what kind of place is this? Why am I here?" Perhaps it was the old man's concerned gaze that made Bai Yunfei relax a little. He looked at the old man doubtfully and asked.
"What? You don't know why you were captured here? Alas... Young man, you have offended someone who cannot be offended. It was also the beast of the Zhang family who asked you to come here, right?"
"Zhang family...Zhang Yang?" Bai Yunfei was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted.
"Well, you know, why did you provoke him! Alas..." The old man looked at Bai Yunfei and shook his head with a sigh.
Bai Yunfei looked around and asked, "Why are we locked up here? How can we get out?"
This is a large room, with only a layer of hay on the ground, no other utensils, and no windows. To the left of Bai Yunfei is an entrance blocked by wood—a cell? Through the cell door, one can see a field of several hundred square meters outside, surrounded by a three- to four-meter-high wall, and outside are several layers of luxurious, stepped seats.
Bai Yunfei and the old man were in a corner of the room. On the other side not far from them, there were about ten people. However, these people were all fierce and vicious. It was obvious at a glance that they were not good people. They were talking to themselves in a low voice. talk.
"Get out?" The old man had a strange look on his face after hearing his words, "Young man, you... Sigh! Everyone in Luoshi City knows that not many people can survive if they offend Zhang Yang, the young master of the Zhang family... "
"What?! I... I'm going to die?" Bai Yunfei was startled, and his voice couldn't help but become louder, attracting unkind looks from the group of people opposite him. He quickly lowered his voice and asked anxiously: "Old man, what did you say? is that true?"
"Hey, young man, don't be too afraid. What's supposed to come will always come. It's useless for you to be afraid..." The old man patted his shoulder and comforted: "And I heard them say that they will let us go and fight with him later. People are fighting, and as long as we can survive, they will let us go..." At this point, the old man himself couldn't help but smile bitterly, obviously not thinking that he and Bai Yunfei, the old and the young, had much chance of surviving.
"Fighting..." Bai Yunfei trembled in his heart and became more and more frightened, but after seeing the old man's kind and comforting eyes, he somehow calmed down. Perhaps, the old man's kindness reminded him of his grandfather...
"Old man, you..."
"My surname is Wu, please call me Uncle Wu."
"Well, Uncle Wu, why are you here?"
Unexpectedly, one of his questions made this old man with a kind face suddenly become extremely sad, and then his eyes turned fierce, and he gnashed his teeth, as if he was a beast that wanted to choose people to devour.
Bai Yunfei was startled by the old man's sudden change, and he shrank back, as if he was a little scared.
After a while, the resentment in the old man's eyes disappeared, he sighed deeply and said, "I'm sorry, I scared you..."
Seeing that the old man returned to normal, Bai Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "No... Uncle Wu, if you don't want to say it, you don't need to say it..."
"Actually, there's nothing I can't say. I was caught by his men because I took a hatchet and wanted to kill Zhang Yang, the young master of the Zhang family, and I was imprisoned here."
"What?!" Bai Yunfei really couldn't imagine that this was the reason why Uncle Wu was imprisoned here.
"That beast Zhang Yang... he... he killed my granddaughter!" Uncle Wu was trembling a little and became emotional, "My poor little Yu'er is only sixteen years old!"
"Three days ago, my good granddaughter said she was going to buy a piece of cloth and make me a dress. She said winter was coming and she couldn't let grandpa freeze..." When he said this, Uncle Wu's eyes were extremely kind, and his face was full of love. Bai Yunfei also showed a smile, and Bai Yunfei could feel his infinite love for his granddaughter, because his grandfather also looked like this when he looked at him in the past.
"But... but when she goes out, we will be separated forever!!" Tears welled up in Uncle Wu's eyes, with a sad look on his face.
"The neighbor next door came to me and told me that Xiao Yu'er was captured by Zhang Yang's men. When I rushed to the Zhang family to ask for someone, what I got... was a cold corpse!"
"Xiao Yu'er, my good granddaughter, she was beaten to death by that beast because she was not willing to accept that public insult!"
Uncle Wu's face showed that ferocious expression of choosing others to eat, but this time Bai Yunfei didn't have the slightest fear, only sadness and anger.
"After burying my good granddaughter, my neighbors all advised me to swallow my anger, saying that I couldn't fight against the Zhang family. I also know that even if a few of us commoners are killed by the Zhang family, those in the City Lord's Mansion will only They will turn a blind eye, and the lives of us people are like ants in their eyes."
"But, I hate it! If I don't do something, how can I be worthy of my good granddaughter? I won't die with my eyes open! So I took the woodcutter at home and rushed up to him when he came out drunk from the brothel. I I want him to be cut into pieces! I want him to pay for my granddaughter’s life!”
"As a result...I was caught by a bunch of his thugs without even touching the hem of his clothes, and then...I was imprisoned here for a day and a night...ahem..."
After Uncle Wu finished speaking, he coughed uncomfortably because he was so excited.
Bai Yunfei remained silent, unable to think of anything to say to comfort the old man, so he could only hold his trembling hand, patted his back, and said with concern: "Uncle Wu, don't get too excited, it's not good for your health. People who are worse than animals will one day get the retribution they deserve..."
Uncle Wu looked at Yunfei in a daze, and then said for a long time: "Oh... My little Yu'er also often holds my hand like this, pats my back, and then blames me for not being too excited... Young man, I haven't done it yet. I asked you what your name is."
"My name is Bai Yunfei, you can just call me Yunfei."
"Well, Yunfei, I can see that you are a good boy... There are fewer and fewer people like you nowadays. People nowadays, whether openly or secretly, only care about themselves. Regardless of whether others live or die, they do whatever they want. They have even lost their human nature. People should live with a clear conscience..." After saying that, Bai Yunfei looked at him blankly and asked: " What's wrong? Don't you agree with what I said?"
"No, I just thought of my deceased grandfather. He... said the same thing before."
At this moment, several people appeared outside the cell door. They carried a bucket of steamed buns and a bucket of water, placed them outside the cell door, and shouted to the people inside: "You people! Come and eat! Do you want something?" Once you’re full, you’ll have the strength to fight for a while!”
Because there was quite a lot of steamed buns in the bucket, when the dozen or so people across from him were full, Uncle Wu got up to get a few, scooped out a bowl of water, returned to Bai Yunfei, handed it to him, and said, "Are you hungry?" ?Eat, only when you are full can you have the strength to live."
While eating steamed buns, he whispered to Uncle Wu. Looking at Uncle Wu's kind eyes, Bai Yunfei's heart trembled slightly. This feeling has almost never been experienced since his grandfather passed away - this kind of feeling. 'Warm' feeling.
After eating a few steamed buns and talking for a while, Uncle Wu seemed to be tired, so he leaned against the wall to rest, while Bai Yunfei continued to huddle in the corner. Only then did he have time to recall what happened yesterday.
"Why are all the injuries on my body gone?" Yunfei then realized that all the injuries from yesterday's beating had disappeared! There is no discomfort in the body at all.
"I... seemed to have fainted last night? Why? That's right! Strengthen... bricks!!"
Thinking of this, Yunfei subconsciously touched his side. Unexpectedly, he actually touched a sharp-edged object - it was the same brick that he was clinging to when he was unconscious last night!
"When you were arrested last night, you were holding this brick tightly in your hand...Does it have any important significance?" Uncle Wu asked suspiciously when he saw him grabbing the brick.
"Uh... No, this is what I use to put the foot of the bed..." Yun Fei didn't know how to explain it. Fortunately, Uncle Wu saw that he was speechless and didn't care. He laughed twice and stopped. Ask.
Yunfei lowered his head and looked at the bricks in his hand:
"Equipment Level: Ordinary"
"Equipment enhancement level: +10"
"Attack: 9"
"Additional attack power: 16"
"+10 additional effect: When attacking, there is a 1% chance of causing the target to enter a forced stun state for up to three seconds (if the head is attacked, the stun chance increases to 5%)."
"Strengthening conditions: 12 soul points."
"Sure enough, everything last night was true..."
"+10 additional effect? Stun? What do you mean? If you hit someone with a brick, of course they will be knocked unconscious. How come there is still a 10% chance?"
"Want to strengthen it again?"
But he then gave up the idea. It seemed that he lost consciousness last night because of strengthening this. Now in this place, how dare he strengthen it casually.
Bai Yunfei was in a daze holding Ban Brick. He didn't know how long it had passed before he was suddenly awakened by a burst of noise.
Turning around, I saw that the circle of gorgeous seats outside was filled with people at some point. These people were dressed in luxurious clothes. You could tell at a glance that they were rich and aristocratic. Each of them had excited and expectant faces, and they were chatting in low voices. , and some people pointed at them and said something to the people around them.
"Everyone! Welcome to the Colosseum!"
Suddenly, a loud voice recalled in the audience, and the whispering wealthy nobles temporarily stopped talking, but the excitement on their faces grew stronger, and even felt a little... crazy.
"Those lowly lives are struggling for survival, fighting like wild beasts! This is a thrilling and bloody Colosseum! Let us enjoy today's visual feast!"
