Chapter 169 Three little ones crowded in the well
There was no one, no one, the pawn shop was empty, only things were scattered around. Li Yaoguang searched all over the place but couldn't find his brother. Li Yaoguang was worried, but Ji Mo couldn't see it and pulled her to comfort her.
"Don't worry Yaoguang. There is no one here, and there are no blood-stained corpses. No news is good news. Don't worry, with Brother Yang's intelligence, he will definitely hide when he encounters danger."
"Really?"
"Definitely!"
At this moment, the black whirlwind that had been sniffing around in the pawn shop suddenly moved. He howled at Li Yaoguang again, spread his hooves, and led Li Yaoguang out from an inconspicuous corner door in the backyard of the pawn shop. Outside, It's another street, but unfortunately it's not peaceful here.
People were lying scattered in the alley, corpses were piled up, and their noses were all bloody. Li Yaoguang rushed up and quickly walked through it to check on Pa La. Fortunately, God blessed him, and there were no children's corpses inside. Li Yaoguang breathed a sigh of relief, but saw a black spin in front of him. Feng led De Sheng ahead and continued to walk. Wenwen on the left and Wenwen on the right continued to search. Li Yaoguang's heart sank. He prayed that they could lead him to find his brother quickly, but was also afraid that his brother would be found on this purgatory-like street. Conflicted in my heart.
Jimo: "Let's go, no, the black whirlwind has gone far, we have to keep up."
"Okay, let's go."
Li Yaoguang gritted his teeth and kept up, his heart going up and down. Yangzhou City, which he thought was small before, now seemed extraordinarily big. The road under his feet seemed to be endless. Where was the little guy?
The situation of the little guy who is being cared about by Li Yaoguang at the moment is really not good.
Two streets away from Li Yaoguang, in a house with corpses outside the courtyard, there is a well under the persimmon tree on one side of the front yard. There is a pulley lying on the edge of the well with a rope on it, and the whole rope is hanging down from the well. Inside, it was obvious that there was something hanging underneath.
If someone is lying on the edge of the well and looking down at this time, they will naturally find that in the big wooden barrel hanging at the end of the rope, three children are hugging each other tightly, facing each other, standing only slightly above the water. The little wooden barrel was filled with fear.
The wooden barrel is so big that it can hold three children without any gaps, so they cannot sit down at all;
The child is not heavy, but if there are three of them together, the bucket cannot sink even if there is a pulley to hold it in place. With the center of gravity unstable, the water will naturally spread into the bucket as the child shakes;
It's a cold spring day, there's an icy well, there's water under your feet, and there's fighting and wailing above your head. The three children have suddenly suffered a sudden change. How can they not be cold? Not afraid?
The little body was trembling, and tears were shining in the eyes. They clearly wanted to cry, but their mouths were tightly pursed. They all still remembered the last words of the elder brother who put them in the bucket. They didn't dare to cry or make trouble. Wait quietly, wait...
I don’t know how long it took, but the big brother who let them down appeared above their heads, and the terrifying sounds above gradually stopped. The whole world seemed to be quiet, and the small well was so quiet that Brother Yang was scared. You can feel the tight breathing of brother Yi and little sister in front of you.
They were so scared, their feet were so cold, and their bodies were so numb. The three of them could not help but tremble. Brother Yi, who was the oldest but the timidest, was the first to hold back. When he saw his brother Yang looking at him, Brother Yi Er couldn't help but speak with a cry.
"Yang, Brother Yang..."
"Shh! Brother Yi, don't talk, be quiet."
Brother Yang is so good, he still remembers his elder brother's advice and quickly stopped him.
But Brother Yi couldn't help it and sobbed, "Yang, Brother Yang, gurgle... I, I, am so scared, gurgle, I can't help it anymore, my legs are numb, it's so cold, wuwuwu..." When Brother Yang saw Brother Yi crying like this, the little guy's face suddenly changed. He and the little girl beside him looked up hurriedly. No one came for a long time, so the two little guys heaved a sigh of relief.
"Huh, there's no one around. The bad guy outside is probably gone." This was the little girl's happy voice.
Brother Yang nodded, "Then let's keep our voices down." Then he looked at Brother Yi next to him, "Brother Yi, please bear with me and stop crying. If the sound gets too loud and attracts bad guys, we won't be able to run away." Lost it, my cousin said that Hu Di is a cannibal, and he likes the tender meat of children the most.”
Brother Yi was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth with both hands and looked above his head in horror.
Seeing that Brother Yi had stopped speaking, Brother Yang slowly and carefully moved his numb body, trying hard to maintain the balance of the barrel and trying his best to relax his stiff little body, while the little girl next to him But he kept looking at the wellhead above his head, worry in his eyes.
"I don't know how my brother is doing..."
Hearing the little girl's words, Brother Yang paused and hurriedly whispered comfort.
"Don't worry, little sister. Big brother is so awesome. He was able to take us back from the pawn shop and hide us in a well cleverly. Big brother will be fine for sure. Let's wait a little longer. Maybe it will be a while." Big brother is back.”
Speaking of the big brother they talked about, and the strange little girl in front of them, it was also a coincidence.
It turned out that after the two children ran out of the hole dug by Black Whirlwind and the others, they had a smooth journey at first. In addition, they both knew some words and knew how to write a pawn shop. In addition, Yang Geer was brave and found a large fixed store on the street. The clerk or store owner asked for directions. Although it took some time, they successfully found the pawn shop a few streets away.
When they arrived, the pawn shop was doing good business, and in front of them was a brother and sister.
The eldest, thirteen or fourteen years old, was dressed as a scholar, and the younger one looked to be about four or five years old. Although the two siblings were dressed plainly but without patches, what surprised Brother Yang was that what they were holding in their hands were actually heavy cotton-padded jackets.
Because the brother and sister were in front and they were behind, Brother Yang and Brother Yi were forced to listen to the elder brother's plea to the shopkeeper, and then they realized that these brothers and sisters were so pitiful.
They were as pitiful as their cousins. It was too cold last winter, and their parents were gone. Seeing that they could not open the pot, the brother and sister were about to starve to death. So they had no choice but to bring their winter clothes to pawn in preparation for emergencies. Unexpectedly, the pawnshop owner was very worried. It's so thin and thick that I only pay 100 cents for four winter coats, but I can't even buy the roast chicken that my father loves to eat. It's really pitiful. Maybe the elder brother and the younger sister have pawned these, and they will be cold this winter. How can the shopkeeper's uncle bully others!
Brother Yang, who was young, stood up for his brother and sister and intervened, but unexpectedly, he annoyed the shopkeeper. During the argument between the two parties, there were several loud rumbles outside, followed by a sudden chaos on the street. The shopkeeper thought After driving them out, many familiar figures suddenly appeared on the street. They were Hu Di, who his cousin said was murderous without batting an eyelid.
Brother Yang saw a lot along the way and faced many dangers, so he wasn't that scared.
It's a pity that these adults who are used to being safe have never experienced it. Each of them is worse than me, especially the shopkeeper who was so fierce just now. When he heard his shouting and saw the Hu soldiers rushing outside, he was frightened on the spot. How could he still I can handle that much.
No one was chasing him away, and no shop was left. He didn't even bother to close the door. It was as if he was chased away by evil spirits. He left a bunch of people behind and ran to the back of the shop.
