Chapter 82: Chew them to pieces with their bones
"No!" Jun Baojie pointed fearfully not far away, "Look at those people!"
Xiao Baojing looked over.
A few drunken clerks were having fun with the monsters.
They caught the firecrackers in red and deliberately lit their hair with torches.
As the hair burned, the firecrackers exploded, and countless red paper clothes floated all over the sky, like flying red butterflies.
"Interesting, interesting!"
The clerks laughed unbridledly.
Someone else caught a little firecracker, picked him up by his ankles, and said to his companions with a smile: "Bet a hundred dollars, the firecracker I set off will definitely be louder than yours!"
"Daddy!"
"Mother!"
The little firecracker shook her braids and cried desperately for help.
But the torch had already ignited his braid.
The fire spread quickly and burned his body in an instant.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, he screamed and exploded!
Another clerk laughed loudly and threw a hundred coins to the man: "It's quite loud! Come on, let's compete again!"
He leaned over and picked up a small firecracker that was as high as his knees.
The little firecracker girl cried hard and struggled desperately in his hands. She covered the braid her mother had tied for her and called out in a sweet voice: "Daddy! Mother! Help me! I'm scared!"
< br>
"Shut up!" The little official spat in her face drunkenly, "Your father and mother have been locked up by us a long time ago! We gave them the medicine to induce estrus for breeding pigs, and they are busy giving birth these days. The little firecrackers are so boring underground, we are going to Let them make more firecrackers, and then tie you all up to make a long string of firecrackers, present them to the Fourth Princess, and set them off on the day when the Wanshou Pavilion is completed! When the Fourth Princess is happy, she might transfer us out! Yes! Hahahaha! ”
The officials and soldiers imagined their life after leaving here, and their faces suddenly glowed with joy.
Xiao Baojing was stunned.
She had seen this group of firecrackers on the streets of Yejing.
They thought that if they came to work in Mansudae, they would have enough to eat and receive wages, so they came here with their families.
Perhaps it was because he was disliked by the officials outside that he was thrown into working underground.
But they didn't expect that what was waiting for them was hell.
"Set off the cannons!"
The little official was so excited that he raised the torch and was about to light the little firecracker's braid.
"Don't hurt my child!"
Suddenly there was a high-pitched scream in the distance.
Xiao Baojing looked over quickly.
The mother of the little firecracker, with disheveled clothes and a messy bun, and a bulging belly, stumbled over.
Her face was still flushed, her eyes filled with tears, and she screamed: "Let go of my child!"
The sleeping spirits lying on the ground all woke up and stared at her blankly.
Another clerk chased after her and shouted angrily: "Her man committed suicide!"
The few officials looked at each other and laughed maliciously: "It's only been a few days, but he can't stand it anymore and commits suicide?! Tsk, it's useless not to know how to enjoy blessings! I'm afraid he didn't commit suicide. But it’s better to die on a woman’s belly, right?”
They make jokes they think are funny.
The clerk shook the little firecracker again and said with a smile: "Hey, your father is dead! I'll set off a firecracker for you to celebrate!"
The tongue of fire licked the little firecracker's braid.
In just a moment, there was a loud "bang" sound, and the little firecracker screamed and exploded completely!
The sky is filled with floating red paper clothes.
The little firecracker's mother was naked and shaking, and her thin, pale legs made it difficult to even stand. She stared blankly at the paper clothes around her.
This is her child.
But half a month ago, their family was gathering lively at home, looking forward to a better life in the future.
Even though their home is just a cave in the mountains, even if the family is impoverished, their whole family is there, talking and laughing every day. She and her husband watch the children playing and playing, and their life is like soaking in a honey jar.
She collapsed and screamed: "Why are you doing this to us?! We just want to live a better life, we just want to beg for a meal, we just want to earn some money to repair our home! Why, why do you want to set up such a thing?" Scam? What did we do wrong? ”
Blood dripped from the edges of her pale calves.
It was clear that he did not steal or rob.
Obviously no crime was committed.
He obviously lives his life seriously like a human being, and he doesn't harm others just because he is a monster.
Why would the fourth princess do this to their family? !
"Why?" The clerk rolled his eyes contemptuously, "You are monsters. Monsters are born low, but they are not as good as us!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He held up his whip and pointed disdainfully at the monsters around him: "Look at all of you, you look weird, and you can't wait to come to Ye Jing when you hear there are benefits. It's obvious that you are greedy by nature! You don't even think about it. With your low status, you deserve to work in Mansudae! You have fallen into this situation because you are too greedy! It’s all your own fault!”
"Greedy?" The mother shed two lines of blood and tears, heartbreaking, "We just want to have enough to eat, we just want to have some savings, we just want our children to live a better life, how can we become greedy? ”
The surrounding spirits didn't speak, but they all sadly raised the backs of their hands to wipe their tears.
They are all down-to-earth spirits. They have learned to live like humans since they were born. They support themselves by cultivating the fields and doing part-time jobs. They have never stolen, robbed or harmed people just because they know a little magic or sorcery. people.
If not for wanting to live a better life, who would be willing to leave their hometown and come to the distant and unfamiliar Yejing?
But in the eyes of these petty officials, they are not worthy of even this small wish, otherwise they are greedy.
The huge mechanical gears that support the Wanshou Tower rotate slowly in mid-air.
Like a pair of sharp teeth, they want to crush them even to the bones, and want to devour them completely.
"This is wrong."
In the strange silence, Xiao Baojing suddenly spoke.
She stood up, her fair and tender face had long been stained by coal, but her almond-shaped eyes were particularly bright.
She said: "The reason why the imperial court eliminates demons is because some evil demons have seriously affected everyone's lives. But why should we eliminate all the demons indiscriminately? This is wrong."
Beating him to death with a stick is wrong.
She looked at the group of small officials and said quietly: "You said you would let us go after twenty years of service. Is this also your lie? You want to trap us here until the last bit of value is squeezed out of us. While trapping us, we are being provided with food, accommodation and salary to attract the spirits to Wanshou Terrace. Is this Xiao Nanjia’s plan to get rid of the monsters?”
The junior officials never expected that this little girl would expose their highness's conspiracy.
The surrounding spirits were horrified when they heard this. They stood up and started questioning the officials.
"You... none of you are allowed to speak!"
The clerks waved their whips and tried to suppress them, but hundreds of spirits gradually gathered together, as if twisted into a strong hemp rope, making them feel a sense of fear.
They looked at each other and finally turned around and ran away!
There is a ladder leading directly to Mansudae underground.
They climbed up, made faces at the monsters, and shouted: "Wait!"
The ladder gradually flew away, and the spirits underground were helpless.
Jun Baojie took off his green clothes, wrapped them around the mother's shoulders, and looked helplessly at Xiao Baojing: "Little Mirror, what are we going to do next?"
Xiao Baojing gritted his teeth: "Look for the prince. He is different from the fourth princess. He will not just watch so many innocent spirits die!"
Xiao Nanjia wants to kill all the monsters and monsters.
But Xiao Qian supports the coexistence of spirits and humans in the same world.
The prince is kind.
If he knew about Wanshoutai's conspiracy, he might come forward to stop Xiao Nanjia.
"But..." Jun Baojie raised his head and looked at the distant sky, "How can I see the prince?"
