Chapter Fourteen Glory Returns to the Beggar's Nest
He Tian quickly said: "No, no." Although he did feel a little regretful about the state he was in just now, "What's the matter?"
Avril smiled faintly: "It's nothing, I just have something to ask you."
He Tian had already begun to guess in his mind at this time, did Avril also think that she was a young master from a rich family, and her previous dress was just a cover-up for herself? In response to this, He Tian just smiled bitterly in his heart.
Who knows that Avril is not asking this: "I want to know if you want to rest here tonight and wait for tomorrow's dance?"
He Tian didn't even think about it and said: "No, I'll go back tonight. By the way, can you please help me with my needle and thread later?"
Avril didn't expect He Tian to answer so directly, and was a little dazed: "Uh, what do you want that for?"
He Tian lowered his head and looked at his clothes, which were a little dirty. He Tian touched the cut in front of his lower abdomen, his eyes were filled with pity, and he said lightly: "Sew it up."
Avril looked at the caring eyes of the man in front of her, and her pupils shrank for a while. The eyes were so gentle, and it was just a piece of clothing, but the man in front of her actually cared for her like a lover.
"Has what I've always wanted been a man who looked after me with this kind of look?" she couldn't help but ask herself.
"Don't go to such trouble. Just give me the clothes and I'll prepare another set for you. I'll just ask the maid to mend these clothes for you. I'll just pick them up tomorrow."
He Tian shook his head stubbornly: "No, I want to make up for it myself. Thank you, Miss, for your kindness."
Avril realized that she really couldn't understand the man in front of her. So she nodded: "Okay, but don't call me miss. Just call me Avril."
He Tian raised his head and looked at Avril, murmuring: "Love... Avril..."
"Haha..." Avril smiled, glanced at He Tian, then turned and left, "I'll ask someone to deliver it later. Then I'll see you tomorrow." Avril left like this, and she didn't speak until she went out.
It suddenly dawned on her that there was one more thing she hadn't asked He Tian, which was about asking He Tian to be his bodyguard. Then Avril was surprised, why did she feel a little panicked in front of this man? Especially when she saw the man's gentle eyes.
when.
"What am I thinking about?" Shaking her head, she stopped Qin Xu from thinking and left slowly, "I'll ask you tomorrow."
He Tian looked at Avril's leaving figure dully, and it wasn't until Avril closed the door that he withdrew his gaze, and then smiled bitterly. The first of the three subconscious things the old man taught him: good things always come around.
If you don't reach yourself, you don't need to care or chase.
He Tian waited until the maid came, then called the maid away, carefully took off his clothes, and began to mend it himself. The mending skills of a man like him were really ugly. If it had been someone else to mend it, he would definitely not be as bad as him. I saw
He put on this pure white shirt again, but the originally perfect shirt was mended like a bulging ferocious centipede. The whole shirt looked a little wrinkled and skewed due to his poor sewing skills.
.
He Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead, shrugged, and murmured: "Sewing is really more laborious than fighting. It must be the same for Char who just started to learn to sew."
Muttering softly, he looked at his fingers that had been pricked countless times and couldn't help but think of Charles's painful expression when he was learning to sew. He discovered that it turned out that the beggar army had many sufferings that they did not tell him.
"It's difficult for that boy. With so many people's clothes, he can't let him come and sew and mend them for us. I have to learn how to sew and mend after I go back." Then he shook his head again, "No,
We are already rich after this! How can we ever live like that!"
When he thinks about money, he feels that life is so wonderful!
"Old man, I will soon live a stable life. I will no longer be a beggar. I will become a resident! By the way, go back quickly! Tell everyone that I have won the second place!"
"I don't know where they are now, how dare they not come to the recent game!" With a smile, he left the Shadow Castle and ran towards the Beggar's Den.
…
"They must be very happy to see you back."
"As long as we get the money tomorrow night and stay one night at the City Lord's Mansion, starting the day after tomorrow, we will no longer be beggars!"
"I wonder if this exciting boy like Char has prepared anything to celebrate for himself now, or if he wants to give himself an unexpected surprise."
He Tian thought a lot along the way, with a faint smile hanging on his lips. He ran across the street, looked at the dark downtown, looked up at the blue sky, and shouted: "I don't have to be a beggar anymore!"
After that, He Tian smiled and ran away in front of everyone's surprised eyes. Turning around the intersection ahead was the Beggar's Den.
Before they could turn around the intersection, the sound came into a small den with only a simple shack.
The echo echoed throughout the dark alley, making the originally excited words become deeper and deeper.
"Char? Oka?" He Tian had already arrived at the entrance of the alley, but there seemed to be no one in the alley, and no one was seen in the beggar's den. Quiet, the scene was quiet, "Okay, stop hiding, come out quickly
.I have discovered you all.”
Still quiet, except for the lingering echo.
"Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi. You two, stop hiding. I have discovered you. If you don't come out, the boss will deprive you of your food."
When He Tian said this, he seemed to remember the past. In the past, several people always liked to tease He Tian like this, but when he said this, the innocent Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi would crawl out from the corner and giggle at He Tian,
He said: "Boss, don't deprive us of food, we are still growing hair." At that time, he just touched the heads of the two children and giggled.
But this time, apart from his echo, there was no other sound, and he seemed to be the only one in the alley, which seemed very quiet.
Finally, He Tian felt something was wrong. In his mind, he recalled the strange behavior of the Chaer people in the past few days, and then recalled the strange behavior of Xiao Qi on the day he entered the top three.
The more I think about it, the more wrong I feel...
That night when Charles and the others stayed away all night, I felt uneasy in my heart...
The tears that Xiaoqi suddenly shed when she gave her clothes...
No one came to cheer me up when I entered the top three...
The more he thought about it, the more sad he felt in his heart. He finally realized that something was wrong, and ran towards the beggar's den almost crazily. Sure enough, there was no one in the beggar's den! He was anxious at this moment, knowing that something must have happened!
"Damn it!"
Cursing secretly, he turned around and ran out, frantically looking for the figures! But they could no longer be seen on the street.
Where are they? He Tian became more and more frightened and began to feel uneasy. He walked numbly through the streets where beggars had been, but he went to all the streets and found no sign of a few people.
Where are the people? Where have they gone?
He Tian was sweating profusely from running, and there was a constant flow of people around him, but he felt that he was isolated and walking alone. Where were the people? Where were they?
"Ah!" He suddenly stood still, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Where are we! Charles! Ludi!" While shouting, his hands still tightly grasped the clothes on his body, and murmured, "Don't worry.
.”
It was getting dark. He searched many places but could not find the beggar army. He searched all the places he could think of. The uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. He seemed to feel that if he was a little later, there would be something wrong.
Who leaves me forever, just like the old man back then.
The whole street was filled with his shouts, and his voice was hoarse. At this time, an aunt running a stall suddenly stopped him. He knew this aunt, and she was an authentic Shadow City person. He Tian had not seen him often in the past four years.
, and the aunt also didn’t see He Tian. At this time, the aunt stopped him and said: “Young man, are you looking for your fellow beggars?”
When He Tian heard this, his whole body was trembling. He nodded excitedly and said, "Auntie, do you know where they are? Tell me quickly! Auntie, tell me quickly."
The aunt looked at the anxious look of the young man in front of her, sighed and said: "Hey, those young men are quite pitiful. That day, at the factory in front of me, all the beggars who were with you were there...
…”
While listening to what the aunt said, He Tian looked towards the place pointed by the great god...
"They are all poor kids. I don't know why they would think of making money through a 'punching bag'. Maybe they need it very much."
He Tian clenched his fists while listening to what his aunt said. At this moment, he seemed to see the people of Charles shouting on the street.
"Brothers, uncles and aunties who are passing by have come to take a look. Now everyone has a chance to vent their dissatisfaction, unhappiness, and anger. Tonight, a 'punching bag' program that is rare in a century will be held here.
.And we will never use anything to wrap the body to increase defense..."
The footage seems to be replayed...
The aunt was still talking gushingly: "These young men are really strong. There are so many people beating angrily and venting wantonly without even frowning. Even I can't bear it."
He Tian seemed to be able to see the scene at that time. He stood there motionless and looked at the square where the Charles people had "performed". His nails dug deeply into his palms.
"Seeing those children being knocked to the ground one by one, with blood all over their bodies, it was so miserable. Many of the children watching were frightened and cried. But those children still had smiles on their lips.
, what kind of will is this. Look, look, there are still blood stains there..."
He Tian listened and walked toward the square almost like a zombie, with brisk steps. The bright red color on the ground appeared in He Tian's sight, and his eyelids were trembling violently!
