Lord of the people, I became the Skeleton King

He Gu thought for a while, and continued to ask, "Then what happened when you said that the number of orphans reached at most two thousand?"

Hearing this question asked by He Gu, the little cripple's original expression of An Tian calmly disappeared, replaced by a feeling of fear.

He swallowed heavily, and said nervously, "That time, it was a massacre! Massacre! The adults wanted to run, but the soldiers didn't let them run, so they killed them all. The ground was full of heads, corpses, and blood. I saw it with my own eyes."

"Later, I overheard those soldiers discussing that incident. They said that there were 5000 people who wanted to escape that time. In order to teach them a lesson, the higher-ups brutally killed half of them."

"But they didn't kill the children. What was the rule? They didn't kill the children. Anyway, many children survived, but their parents died."

The little cripple tried his best to use his language to tell He Gu what happened in the past. Although he was afraid, he still tried his best to show his value.

Although the language is immature, it is quite clear, at least the cause and effect can be understood, and some things can be deduced from it.

The world is suffering for a long time!

Although it is not Qiang Qin here, it is the same reason.

This so-called freeman settlement spreads false news, tricks outsiders into coming in as cheap labor, and once in, they can't go out, and they have to work here to death.

Some people couldn't take it anymore and resisted, but it's a pity that this is a fantasy world, not an earth where individual differences are extremely small, and it's not a place where you can rise up if you just say a word about princes and generals.

So, they failed.

It was doomed from the start.

The city lord here invites powerful people into the inner city, treats them with courtesy, separates them from the people in the outer city naturally, does not belong to the same camp, and exploits the people in the outer city wantonly, even if they resist.

The resistance of the ants is so ridiculous, step on them, and they will be honest.

He Gu now thinks back to the carriage loaded with goods that he saw before entering the city. The powerful soldiers on it were not used to protect the workers, but they were the eyes of the city lord to monitor them. Runaways, Kill without mercy.

~~
The children's dinner is braised pork with rice, and the thick broth is poured into the rice. The tempting mellow aroma of the rice alone is enough to make two big bowls of rice, not to mention there is Fragrant braised pork with rice.

However, considering that they are often full and hungry, and their stomachs are mostly bad, in order not to damage the children's stomachs, why is it like fast food, give them one portion per person, each person has a limit, and there will be no food after eating. up.

These portions are enough for them to be full, and they may still want to eat after eating, but that is a desire bound by long-term hunger, which is not good for the body in the long run.

Five hundred children...

He Gu leaned against the ruined wall and thought about how to deal with them.

It is definitely impossible to take them out directly. As a resident of the inner city, I don't know if I can go out, let alone bring such a large number of children from the outer city who have lost their parents.

I can only think of another way.

He Gu thought of several strategies, but in the end they all had to use force, but... how to put this force into practice still had to be carefully considered.

For this group of orphans, He Gu knew almost everything. Now that the night was coming, he stood up and patted the ashes on his pants to get to know the other people here.

The work in the outer city is very hard. Those creatures of the second and third tiers are better, they are physically strong, and working for a whole day is enough to obtain the resources needed for survival. They will look for some leisure and entertainment at night.

Eat, drink, what, and then gamble.

In a different world, with the same means of exploitation, these guys who might have saved their spare money all gave out their money.

As for those first-order creatures, they have to work more than twelve hours a day to obtain the most basic survival resources. At this time, they are still working overtime.

Seeing that He Gu wanted to go out, the little cripple volunteered to stand up and lead the way for He Gu.

He Gu looked at his leg with some concern, "Is your leg okay?"

The little cripple waved his hand quickly, "My lord, it's okay, I can walk as fast as them, and I can run when I'm in a hurry."

He Gu saw that his tone was firm and determined to lead him the way, so he nodded and agreed.

One big and one small walked side by side, going outside, the little cripple walked on He Gu's left, although his posture was a bit awkward, but the speed was not slow at all, and He Gu didn't stop to wait for him.

"What's your name?" He Gu asked suddenly.

The little cripple was looking at the road left and right, and when he heard He Gu's question, he raised his head in astonishment. The adults before him had never asked his name.

"They call me little cripple."

He Gu shook his head, "It's not this, I'm asking for your name."

The little cripple was silent for two seconds, recalling the address he hadn't used for a long time, "Yu Xiu. So Yu, a practicing Xiu."

"Yu Xiu, do your parents expect you to embark on the path of cultivation?"

"Well, they said that I am very talented, that I can speak within one month of my birth, and I can learn things very quickly. If I go to practice magic, I will definitely become a great person. They heard that this place is very good and very free. , I thought there might be a way for me to practice, so I brought me here..."

Yu Xiu's voice became lower and lower. Although his voice was not choked up, it also revealed a sourness.

Man is such a creature that his impression of a person is not isolated, but bound up with countless things.

When he mentioned that his parents were killed in the bombing, he was not sad, but now, thinking of them hugging him, he said with pride that my child will become a great person in the future.

The sadness like a tide flooded up immediately.

Parents hope that he will become a great person in the future, but now, he has become a lame man, hungry and full, maybe at some ordinary time, he collapsed in some inconspicuous corner of the world , just died, no one knows.

Seeing that Yu Xiu's emotions were obviously lost to the naked eye, why did he change the subject, "Are you a quick learner?"

"Huh? Yes! I'm a quick learner! At that time, my parents had just died, and I didn't know how to live alone. I followed other children to squat in the inner city. I was ignorant and stained an adult's clothes. , got a broken leg."

"However, I was lucky. My leg was not completely broken. Later, it grew back, but it was a little weak. I followed a big cripple in the city. After watching him for half an hour, I could walk. Dongxi’s car, followed them around the outer city, and figured it out in two days.”

"I took a job that day, ate two meals, and survived."

survived.

A few plain words.

And that period of bleakness, which can even be called miserable days, was also mixed up in a few plain sentences by him, and passed away in one stroke.
