Song Hong followed the kidnapper's whereabouts. He was no more guarded than Kou Dong, and it was more convenient for him to be called a young master's friend. Even if the triangular eyes and the others saw them on the road and blocked the circus people from opening their mouths and took them to protect them, it was hard to say anything, and they just stared at him.
As a result, Song Hong was able to move freely, and followed the kidnapper for several days, finally touching the other's residence.
It is said that the three caves of the cunning rabbit, what these kidnappers did was unreasonable, so naturally they didn't dare to make it public, they only did it secretly. Their hidden place is hidden deep in the alley, and ordinary people can't go there at all, and naturally they can't even say they are aware of it.
"You have to stop at the alley ahead," he said in a low voice, "go further in, and they will be able to see it."
Kou Dong nodded, and got off the car in the adjacent street. Sure enough, from a distance, I saw a beggar standing there with his hands in his hands, and his eyes were quick to look around. He looked weak, but he carried an undisguised fierceness from head to toe, which was quite different from his appearance. Tune in.
Kou Dong watched for a while, then frowned.
"Why are there children?"
He had a vague glimpse of a kidnapper carrying something out of it, wrapped in swaddling clothes, who seemed to be younger. From a distance, it is just a cluster of colorful quilts.
After saying this, he reacted by himself, and his heart sank immediately.
-Too.
Since he is a kidnapper, how could he stop doing business.
He sneered, "Their business chain is quite complete."
The youngest, who can't remember anything, is sold, and the older ones go to the streets to beg. If you can’t get money from begging, or if you make a mistake, you can put it in the circus and reform it, come out to perform and earn money—in this way, everyone’s value is squeezed out, and there is nothing left.
The boy lowered his eyes in the wheelchair, as if it was commonplace, and did not respond to such a scene.
Since he got into the car, he didn't open his mouth to speak, let alone ask where he was going, until he was put down again at this moment, he said: "You want to come here?"
Kou Dong turned to look at him and asked, "Sir, what do you know?"
The boy said in a calm voice, "This is not fun."
These words made Song Hong panic. Although they guessed that the circus and the kidnapper were not in the same camp, it was guesswork after all. If this person suddenly calls the kidnapper over...
He looked a little hesitant, and secretly made full preparations to do it.
Kou Dong didn't panic because of this sentence, he looked at the person in front of him and said, "Why isn't it fun? I think it's interesting."
On the contrary, she was acting coquettishly, with an air of being pampered for granted, as if she was talking to a close elder.
Seeing this, Song Hong panicked even more. Although Kou Dong seems to be in the side plot, but just acting like a baby with a creepy NPC, the other party is very likely to be the final boss...
No matter how you look at it, it makes people panic.
What if people don't like this set
What if you get angry and make someone smoke a wooden dummy without saying a word
The young man tapped lightly on the armrest of the wheelchair with his pale fingers. He didn't look angry at all, but the breath around him became softer. He took out a plain silk handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the face of the child in front of him, and then replied: "I hurt you carefully."
"..."
Sure enough, there is no contingency at all here in Kou Dong.
Song Hong's heart sank into his stomach, and his teeth were even slightly sore.
What you said, why did you sound like a young couple who were still sticky when they were together just now...
For a moment, he couldn't help but start thinking about it, until the little girl patted him indistinctly, motioning him to look at the boy's empty trousers, which made Song Hong wake up suddenly.
Yes. Where is a normal person like this
Besides, this is not a good person. Cruel and merciless, with volatile tempers—the previous players were tortured like that, which naturally has something to do with the real ruler of the circus. The boy was not kind at all, he just had a little extra patience with Kou Dong.
"I want to go in."
Kou Dong said, pointing at the people inside, "They bully me, shouldn't I fight back?"
The boy put away his handkerchief and replied, "Of course."
After hearing this sentence, Kou Dong was relieved, knowing that even if this person would not help him, he would definitely not hinder him. He waved at Song Hong and the two of them, squatting in the corner, and the three of them waited quietly for an opportunity.
When it was almost lunch time, the releaser visibly relaxed, waiting for his companion to take over. When Kou Dong walked out of the house, he was carrying some valuable toys prepared by the young man for him. At this time, he took out a piece of gold leaf from his pocket, handed it to the driver of the carriage, and signaled the driver to drive forward.
The coachman didn't pick up the gold leaf, but turned his attention to the boy. It wasn't until he saw the person in the wheelchair nodding that he took the thing over and held it in his palm.
The kidnapper was standing loosely at the entrance of the alley, when he suddenly saw a carriage passing by in front of him, it rubbed against his shoulder, splashing a lot of dust.
He was almost caught, and wiped his face indiscriminately, he was inevitably angry, "How do you look at the road?"
When I looked again, when the carriage moved forward, the carriage tilted slightly. Kidnap's eyes were sharp, and he saw what rolled out from the gap in the car door, it was golden.
They have quick and accurate eyesight in what they do. Without even a moment of hesitation, he immediately stepped forward pretending to be casual, and when he saw what it was, his eyeballs stopped moving.
gold!
It's gold!
He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he immediately went to pick up the gold leaf. The alley at the back was empty and unattended. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kou Dong hurriedly pushed people in, but the young man stopped him, taking his time.
"Go in first," he said, "I'll be there later."
As an NPC, you still have to have this ability, not to mention that he is not a person at all. Kou Dong nodded, and he and Song Hong got in together. All of them were small in stature and did not attract attention. The kidnapper was so preoccupied with the windfall that fell from the sky that he didn't see it.
The three of them entered the alley smoothly, and walked in for a long time before they saw an inconspicuous small courtyard, the door was dirty, and there were plaster marks everywhere.
It was daytime, and most of the kidnappers hadn't gotten up yet. Because strangers often come in and out, and there are no dogs in the yard. It's just that the courtyard door is locked from the inside, so it's not easy to get in.
Song Hong walked around the yard, but found a gap, "There is a place here."
It seems that some dog dug it out, and it is quite a small hole. Fortunately, the three of them are all children at the moment, so they can barely squeeze themselves in, but they can pass.
They went through the hole and stood in the kidnapper's yard.
The front yard is where the kidnappers live, and snoring can still be heard. The three looked at each other, and Kou Dong said, "Go to the backyard first?"
Song Hong and the two thought it was true, and secretly groped along the base of the wall to the back. At the back is a firewood room, with a lot of firewood piled inside, and two separate small rooms, which are also locked and the doors are tightly closed.
As he got closer, the sound of a woman coaxing a child could be heard from inside.
"Sleep oh oh, sleep..."
Only one room remained silent.
Kou Dong took out a thin wire from his pocket, and squatted down at the door. Even if he had seen his posture before, it was still shocking to see him again. Song Hong lowered his voice and asked, "Are you breaking the door again?"
Kou Dong nodded, and the wire spun back and forth in the keyhole.
"But it doesn't have to be open, and I haven't tried a few times—"
Before the words fell, there was a slight click, and the lock opened.
Song Hong: "..."
Ashue: "..."
Ye Yanzhi: "..."
Kou Dong paused, changed the sentence, and said tactfully, "Sometimes luck is better."
He's really not that sneaky.
Song Hong seemed to be in a complicated mood, and it took him a long time before he said, "It's okay, I understand."
What did he understand? Kou Dong didn't understand, but he felt that his gaze had changed.
It's like watching an outlaw who endangers society.
The door was opened a thin crack, and the three of them squeezed in hastily. The room was not big, and it was packed to the brim at once.
Song Hong whispered: "You stepped on my foot!"
"Hush," the little girl pulled her foot back and slapped him hard, "Don't say anything... It smells so strong, there seems to be something inside."
It was dark in front of my eyes, and there was no light. Song Hong fumbled and took out a box of matches from his pocket, polished one, and took a photo in front of his eyes. He was taken aback by this photo, threw the match abruptly, and swears in a low voice.
"Fuck..."
It was too fast, the two of them didn't see it clearly, and they were a little dazed.
"how?"
Song Hong stared at the darkness in front of him, hesitated for a few seconds before answering, "Eyes."
"what?"
"—Eyes." Song Hong repeated, "Eyes all over the floor..."
These five words sounded like a very strong picture, which inexplicably made people feel chills down the spine. Axue, who was always bold, didn't speak for a while, but Kou Dong remained calm and asked, "Is it human eyes or animal eyes?"
Song Hong said: "I didn't see it clearly."
Ye Yanzhi, who was sitting on Kou Dong's shoulder, replied, "It's the eyes of animals."
Kou Dong felt relieved, and said to Song Hong, "Then let's order it again."
Song Hong: "..."
This one is really brave.
But what Kou Dong said was right, delaying here is not an option. He fumbled again and took out a match. With some strength in his hand, he rubbed the side of the box vigorously—
A cluster of Cheng Hong's small flames jumped up suddenly, reflecting the pale faces of the three people, and also illuminating a small area around them.
The moment she saw it, the little girl also took a low breath.
What Song Hong said was right, his eyes were all over the place.
Those eyeballs were scattered on the ground, densely packed, at first glance, it looked like some kind of special decoration. There are other things piled up in the corner, and the hair is tangled, all in one place, but the color and thickness of the hair are different. If you look carefully, it turns out that the piled up high are all animal heads.
Some piles were not stable, and Gululu rolled down from a high place until he reached Axue's feet. The big and fierce eyes stared, as if they were dying.
A Xue calmed down now, turned the head over with her foot, and said, "It's a dog's head."
"The skin hasn't been peeled yet," Kou Dong said. "It's probably going to be saved and sold."
The little girl nodded, and said again: "It's just this place that feels a bit strange to me. Let's search again, it doesn't have to be only these."
The three of them each took a match, carefully walked around the dried blood on the ground, and rummaged inside. When turning to the bottom, Kou Dong's hand suddenly touched something, it was an extremely hard wooden box.
He took it up, but didn't move it.
"Help."
He said to Song Hong.
Song Hong also stretched out a hand, and the two of them lifted the wooden box up at the same time. After a lot of effort, they finally lifted it up. It turned out that this wasn't really a wooden box, judging by the size, it looked more like a half-coffin—but as a coffin, it was too short to hold an adult.
The lid was densely covered with iron nails, I don't know how many nails were nailed, each nail was as long as a palm, and they were deeply and ruthlessly pierced into the coffin.
Ye Yanzhi said: "The dog's head is bloody, and the soul is sealed with iron nails. They are afraid of this."
Kou Dong: "Open it and have a look?"
Song Hong looked it over carefully, and replied: "I'm afraid it will take a little effort to open it. There are too many nails on the top, so it's not easy to pry."
Besides, they are now in someone else's territory, so it's not easy to make too much noise. If the kidnappers find out, it will be another troublesome matter.
After hearing this sentence, Kou Dong simply put his arms around the coffin and picked it up.
Song Hong: "...?"
What does this mean
Kou Dong: "Since we can't open the box here, let's take it away."
Song Hong was dumbfounded.
take away? ?
"Change to a place where you can open the box," Kou Dong said, "This may be a key item, and it must not be thrown here."
In fact, he suspected that this was the skeleton of a teenager, because the coffin was shorter than that of ordinary people.
Of course, most of the people in this room are children, their statures are not tall, and the coffin is not too big. But when Kou Dong saw the width of the coffin, he felt that it should belong to a young man—he had the shoulder width of a normal person, but because of his disability, he lost his two legs, so the coffin would naturally be shortened by others during burial.
He made up his mind not to leave it here, and he was about to go out if he really held it. Song Hong couldn't stop him, after thinking about it, he thought it would be good to take it out, so he simply let Kou Dong carry it as he wished.
They had just slipped out of the door of this small house, and were about to escape to the gate. But suddenly heard another sound.
After Kou Dong picked up the coffin and took a big step towards the door, the child in the next room seemed to wake up suddenly, opened his mouth suddenly, and began to cry.
"Wow, woo woo woo..."
As soon as one cried, a group of people were immediately aroused. For a moment, the entire yard was almost submerged by the tide-like cries.
The crying of children is very contagious, especially the babies who are still in their swaddling womb. When they cry, they are full of energy and loud, which wakes up the woman next door who is coaxing them. The woman hugged them and paced the room repeatedly, "Oh, my dear, oh..."
The kidnappers in front also woke up and raised their voices impatiently.
"Why are you crying?" he snapped, "I'm crying all day long..."
Kou Dong keenly sensed something was wrong, and suddenly said: "Hide!"
The NPC ahead seems to be coming out!
With sharp eyes and quick hands, the three quickly locked themselves back to the room where the wooden box was found. Within two seconds, there were footsteps outside the door, and the kidnapper stood at the door next to them, and opened the door with the key on his waist with a sullen face, "Why are you crying? - You have no milk? Don't you know how to coax?"
The woman said embarrassingly, "I don't know what's wrong, but I started crying..."
She was also at a loss in her heart, and whispered: "I've already been breastfed."
"Let them be quiet," the kidnapper sternly said, "Cry, cry, cry, cry again, I'll pull them all out and bury them for you!"
After he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly glanced to the side, and he arrived at the unlocked lock of the room.
"what happened?"
He said slowly, with a chilling ruthlessness in his eyes, "The door of that room—how did it open?"
Kou Dong and the three of them trembled in their hearts, knowing that they had been discovered.
"What did you hear?" the kidnapper asked the woman.
The woman shook her head and said hurriedly: "I didn't hear anything... Everything is normal here, there is no one else."
Kidnap said, "Really?"
He obviously didn't believe this sentence, even though the woman said so, he still strode towards this place. That hand rested on the door, and it was about to pull the door open.
The three of Kou Dong held their breath, unable to care about anything else for a while, they hurriedly stuffed themselves into the pile of hair to cover their bodies. As soon as they hid their front feet, a light shone in from their back feet through the door. The strong kidnapper stood in front of the door, looking inside suspiciously.
It was pitch black and bloodstained inside.
Kidnap didn't look at the room immediately, but turned his eyes to the ground first. Seeing this, Kou Dong knew it was not good. When they searched just now, they carefully avoided the blood stains on the ground, leaving no traces; but when they ran in to hide again, they were in such a hurry that there was no time to light a match, let alone pay attention to their feet.
As a result, even though the bloodstains had dried, they still dragged them along, leaving a few sporadic footprints that they knew belonged to children at a glance.
The kidnapper saw it too. He licked his palate with the tip of his tongue and grinned.
"What did I say," he hissed, "So, there's a little mouse hidden in it..."
Kou Dong's scalp began to tingle. He held his breath, judging in his mind.
There are not many footprints on the ground, and the kidnapper doesn't know how many are in the house.
Looking at it this way, if they rushed up at the same time, they might not be able to get a bargain.
only…
Before he could finish thinking, his eyes were suddenly stabbed by a cluster of sharp edges. The kidnapper actually took out a sharp knife from inside his clothes.
The appearance of the knife made the hearts of the three sink.
They are all children now, and compared to each other, their strength is not enough, let alone the kidnapper still holds a weapon in his hand!
How could it be possible to take advantage
He could only hold his breath, try not to be noticed by him, and tried to wait for the opportunity to run out. The room was dark, with the smell of blood mixed with the smell of fur accumulation at the tip of their noses, and they could clearly hear their own heartbeats.
bang bang—
bang bang—
Kou Dong lowered his head, suddenly a bigger light appeared in front of his eyes. The kidnapper had arrived in front of him at some point, and suddenly removed the cover in front of him.
When he raised his head, he happened to meet the other party's malicious, even a little ferocious smile because of his excitement.
"-found it."
He grinned happily, his hands like iron pliers firmly grabbed his hair, and dragged him out mercilessly.
"The little mouse... is still the prettiest one."
Kou Dong's heart was beating wildly and he was struggling hard. When the kidnapper dragged him out with a smirk, he suddenly said, "Aren't you afraid that the guy in the circus will get angry?"
These words made the kidnapper who was carrying him stunned. Then, as if he remembered something, he looked at Kou Dong again.
He naturally knew about the boy leaving the three of them in the circus. One of them, said to be very special, must be that person.
but-
If it was normal, the kidnapper might let go. But now that he was carrying the child, the dark thoughts in his heart rose up one after another, and he did not give in at all.
Why
Such a good thing... Why did he let it go
"So what?" He sneered, "Do you think that if you get close to him, you will have a talisman? Even if he comes, it will be a later matter. ——Can he still come to save you now?"
The strength in his hands increased, and Kou Dong couldn't help clenching his teeth in pain. Ye Yanzhi was also a little impatient, but at this moment his strength was suppressed, he was only slapped, and he couldn't do anything, so he could only whisper anxiously in the child's ear: "It's coming soon, bear with it!"
"Coming soon..."
He kind of hated himself for this state. He clearly has the intention, but he can't do anything, so he can only watch from the sidelines.
Enduring the pain, Kou Dong snorted his cub's fur with his hands, and said in a low voice, "It's okay."
He knew that with the NPC's obsession with him, people would definitely come.
When the kidnapper heard the word "it's okay", he just thought he was a dead duck with a stubborn mouth, and the corner of his mouth smiled even wider.
"Are you still holding on to hope?" He said sadly.
"—that's the most useless thing in the place."
Before the words fell, there was a loud bang at the gate of the yard. Immediately afterwards, other abductees hurried over and said, "What are you doing!"
He swallowed his saliva, his expression hard to hide his panic, and he stammered, "The door is here..."
The kidnapper who was holding Kou Dong gave him a hand.
"What's coming?"
"What else can it be!" The speaker stomped his feet, "The disaster star—the disaster star has come to the door."
He still shivered a little when he mentioned the word disaster star.
They've never stumbled on this one...
The only time it fell on that person.
the kid—
He didn't even feel that the other party was a child.
He still remembers the appearance of the disaster star going crazy. At that time, it was clear that his leg was broken and his body was crippled, so he could only use his two elbows to prop up his bloody body, but there was still a wolf-like ruthlessness in his eyebrows and eyes.
He was still holding on to the child's torn clothes with one hand. But the body he had been protecting was no longer in his arms, and the leader of the kidnapper snatched the child away and trampled it under his feet.
There was blood everywhere.
The boy who lost his legs fell into a pool of blood, opened his mouth suddenly, and let out a wail that could no longer be recognized as human.
"I won't let you go," he said grimly, his eyes swept over the people in the yard, "I won't let you all go..."
Some children were frightened by his eyes and opened their mouths to cry. The sky was gloomy, his eyes were bleeding, and he said word by word: "If I turn into a ghost, I will eat your flesh! If I die, I will drink your blood!"
The kidnappers were frightened by the vicious curse, and quickly raised the sticks in their hands to beat them, blood and flesh flew all over them, and they didn't teach him to continue. Someone grabbed a handful of dirt and stuffed it into his mouth, making him unable to make a sound.
But he didn't know what kind of temper he had, and with a hoarse voice, he still yelled out the last sentence.
"I want you to be reduced to animals who are slaughtered day and night, life after life...!"
Kidnap still remembers that scene to this day, and later dreamed back at midnight, it was all that scene.
It almost became his nightmare. Close your eyes, it means that the catastrophe is coming to claim your life.
He is back.
He will definitely take revenge and let them pay for that child back then...
Fortunately, the kidnappers finally kept their hole cards, and the scrupulous disaster star never attacked them. It's just that every time he hears about this person, he still can't help but feel his heart tremble violently, and he feels fear like never before.
"The catastrophe is coming... the catastrophe is coming!"
These words were like a curse, the crowd dispersed, pushing each other, and hastily made way for them. Looking towards the end of the road, the courtyard door was wide open, and there was the sound of wheels. The young man was sitting on a wooden wheelchair, and in the eyes of all the kidnappers who were shocked and frightened, he slowly moved forward while shaking the wheelchair.
His countenance did not change. But now, there is no blood and ashes on it, and it is still strong enough to make people's heart tremble.
The wheelchair was slowly driving towards the backyard, and the kidnapper who was carrying Kou Dong suddenly let go of his hand, and was actually a little out of breath.
He didn't dare to look at the boy, he just staggered and took a step back.
The boy didn't even give him one from the corner of his eye. In the eyes of everyone, he took out a plain handkerchief, wiped his hands, and then stretched out a hand to Kou Dong who just fell to the ground.
"Are you afraid?"
he said softly.
"Ninny, let's go."
"—Brother will take you home."
