Chapter 118 Humans are not as good as dogs
Chapter 118 People are worse than dogs
Author: Yan Nanshu
Returning to Gray Rock City, the towering city walls still stood tall, but Chu Qingyu no longer had the curiosity she had when she first arrived.
Being there, all I feel is boundless depression.
As the flying boat landed, Liang Ximan suddenly poked Chu Qingyu's arm: "Xiao Yu'er, do you see what they are doing?"
A huge team lined up neatly at the city gate, seeming to be welcoming something.
"Maybe we are welcoming some distinguished guests." Chu Qingyu glanced at her and replied without interest.
When she saw the lively scene, she didn't want to interfere with other people's good things, so she turned to Pengshan and said:
"Brother Peng, our mission has been completed. Please let us know, and we will go back on our own."
The main purpose of this trip is to send Pengshan back.
Apart from being angry, they can't change anything, so it's better to stay out of sight.
Pengshan looked embarrassed. He knew the reason why everyone didn't want to enter the city, so he didn't force it. After thanking him again and again, he prepared to enter the city alone.
But he didn't expect that before he could step off the flying boat, someone would suddenly come over from the queue lined up outside the city gate.
His round body was trembling rapidly as he trotted.
Chu Qingyu had a bad premonition in her heart.
Immediately afterwards, before Pengshan could go down, the city lord who arrived quickly said something that made her eyes go dark.
To welcome their arrival and thank them for their selfless help, the Chen family has already held a banquet in the city, just waiting for them to come back and patronize them.
——This is what the city lord originally said.
This scene was also created to welcome them back.
Chu Qingyu was so helpless.
She turned around and looked at the other people, none of them looked very good.
But these people have already set them up, and it's not like they can really leave on the spot.
This would be too offending.
Soon, many people followed the city lord. After these people came, the city lord stepped aside.
According to the introduction of the city lord, these people are the local snakes here, members of the Chen family.
After consulting her companions for their opinions, Chu Qingyu followed these people into the city despite some reluctance.
This time, these people behaved much more normally.
Seeing that they no longer knelt down, they stood on the roadside and enthusiastically shouted and welcomed them, as if they wanted to praise them as living Bodhisattvas who save suffering.
The unified smiles and shouts made Chu Qingyu feel cold all over.
She remembered that in her previous life, she had a profession called "spectator".
It's just that the audience here obviously doesn't get any credits or salary.
A group of four people were bundled up, listening absentmindedly to the crowd's admiration, and were surrounded by people as they came down to the banquet place.
In the exquisite and luxurious mansion, the courtyard with flowing water mats is placed on the street outside the door.
It is said that the banquet outside is for people to come and eat and have fun with the people.
Gray Rock City is close to the sea, and all the delicacies served on the table are real delicacies from the mountains and seas, but Chu Qingyu tasted them tasteless.
Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside the door.
It was a subtle thing, because as soon as the noise started, it was stopped artificially.
But with Chu Qingyu's keen six senses, she still heard the movement at that moment, and when the movement disappeared, it seemed like someone was whimpering when their mouth was covered.
The sound came from the running water mat on the street outside, and the person who made the sound was definitely young.
Chu Qingyu stood up, ignoring the astonished expressions of others at the table and the comfort of the host Chen family, her spiritual energy gathered at her feet, and she quickly ran outside.
The flowing water mat was placed in the front yard, not far from the street. Running there was much faster than using a half-baked swordsmanship.
At this time, outside the courtyard of the Chen Mansion, celebrities and wealthy gentry were sitting on flowing mats on the street, and there was a lot of joy and laughter.
Although they were sitting on the street, they were not dissatisfied at all, but their faces were glowing red.
Beside a table, a rich businessman in gorgeous clothes stood condescendingly.
In the shadow cast, a man dressed as a guard was holding the neck of a small figure with his hand, and punching the figure's stomach unceremoniously.
The wealthy businessman cursed: "Damn little beast, you are tired of living, aren't you? You even dare to snatch the food I gave the dog?"
The little figure's clothes are patched and his hair is messy but not slovenly, like a neatly dressed little beggar.
The little beggar curled up, shook his head in pain, tears and runny nose fell, and he kept making cries of pain from his mouth.
But he was guarding the meat bones and the beautifully shaped steamed buns in his arms.
Someone nearby advised me nicely: "This is the Chen family's territory, and there are distinguished guests here. Don't disturb the guests' enjoyment."
The wealthy businessman was angry because his dog's food was robbed. When he saw the little beggar holding the food and not letting go, he became even more angry.
After hearing this, his anger was diluted a lot, and he quickly said to the guard: "Hurry up and cover his mouth, don't let him make a sound."
The guard quickly complied, and the little beggar's mouth was covered and he could no longer make a sound.
The wealthy businessman was worried about the situation and did not dare to continue. He waved his hand in a rather unfavorable manner: "Let him hand over the stolen food and then drag the person away quickly."
Seeing that the guard was really trying to take away the food in his arms, the little beggar struggled and kowtowed to the ground.
"Master, please, my sister is about to starve to death. I saw people in the city saying that people in the city can come and eat the food here. Please be kind and let me take some back."
The little beggar's forehead turned blue as he kept praying to the wealthy businessman.
The wealthy businessman frowned in disgust: "Common people? Are you worthy? Put down the food quickly and get away. If you let me see you again, I will beat you again."
The little beggar continued to kowtow, and the wealthy businessman waved his hands and sat back on his chair.
The guard had already suppressed the little beggar and stretched out his hand to pry open his fingers in his arms.
Seeing that the little beggar wouldn't let go, he punched him in the stomach.
Then it was one punch after another.
When Chu Qingyu arrived, she saw such a scene.
"stop!"
The nameless fire ignited, directly destroying the reason.
Chu Qingyu raised her hand, and her spiritual power directly knocked away the guard who was beating the child.
He quickly stepped forward and held the child in his arms.
The child was small and shriveled, only about seven or eight years old. He was spitting out blood and his eyes were unfocused.
But she kept murmuring: "Sister...sister..."
Chu Qingyu put her fingers on the child's wrist, but the moment she put them on her face, her face turned pale.
"Hold on...you'll be fine..."
The child's tear-filled eyes gradually became brighter, but then turned into deeper pain and despair: "Sister, you are so beautiful, it hurts so much, am I going to die..."
Chu Qingyu kept shaking her head: "Don't talk nonsense, you will be fine, you will be fine!"
Warmth flowed out of her eyes, and Chu Qingyu subconsciously stretched out the back of her hand to wipe it, and wiped it with ice-cold liquid.
Chu Qingyu ignored it and took out a bunch of bottles and cans in a panic.
