When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

Compared with daytime, Farm City seems to be more lively at night. On the lampposts on the roadside, magic lamps light up automatically, emitting a warm yellowish light.

After a hard day's work, men began to go to pubs, casinos and other places, or they would meet a woman with heavy makeup on the roadside and hug her home with an incomprehensible smile.

There were still people coming and going on the street, and there were many non-human races walking among them. Li Shanren walked aimlessly on the gray stone pavement, glancing at the tadpole names of the shops, and at the same time listened carefully to the words of passers-by. Words correspond those names to their meanings one by one in the mind.

"The Green Dragon Tavern... the Crystal Inn... the delicious bakery next door... excluding the tavern, inn and bread that I have learned, well, those two words are Green Dragon What does it mean with crystal? How should we separate the delicious food next door?"

Li Shanren slowly wrote down the newly learned tadpole writing, and had to put down the words that could not be separated for the time being.

In the process of learning this alien language, Li Shanren was very fortunate that the tadpole script here was similar to Chinese, with each character representing one meaning. It may have developed from hieroglyphics, rather than being composed of many letters combined into each character like in the West. The phonetic text of the word.

Otherwise, for him who does not have an alien alphabet, the difficulty of learning the language will be geometrically doubled.

It's much easier to have one word correspond to one meaning like this.

Despite this, Li Shanren's progress in learning is still very slow. After a month, he has completely mastered less than a hundred tadpole characters, and can only roughly remember 300 characters, many of which are not commonly used characters. If If there was no one to teach him, it would probably take a lot of time and energy for Li Shanren to learn the common words in this world.

"Only after I left school did I realize the benefits of being led by a teacher..." Li Shanren sighed.

However, Li Shanren does not intend to continue self-study. He only needs to master certain words, such as the most basic numbers, common words related to contracts or contract terms, etc., and then he can use his acting talents in certain aspects to try to find places. make money.

If he saves enough money, he can find a teacher to teach him how to read until he fully masters the common words in the world.

Then, a better life will beckon to him again. If Li Shanren really can't find a way back to Blue Star, he can only stay in this world and continue his miserable life...

Li Shanren was memorizing the tadpole essay he had just learned in his mind as he walked past a low-end tavern.

Suddenly, a thin figure rushed out of the alley to the right of the body.

"Snapped--"

Because he was running too fast, the figure's little feet accidentally tripped over a dent in the street caused by missing stone bricks. With a plop, he fell in front of Li Shanren. His blue eyes were dim and filled with tears. .

Li Shanren came back to his senses and lowered his head subconsciously. He was wearing an icy blue dress, silver-gray curly hair, and a cute face carved out of ice.

"No, we bumped into each other again..."

He blinked, inexplicably feeling that he was destined to this child.

At this time, three more men of different heights and ragged clothes rushed out of the alley. They seemed to be traveling with Li Shanren, and they were all homeless people.

Seeing the little girl lying in front of Li Shanren, their faces showed different emotions, including anger, greed, and joy full of evil thoughts...

Feeling the gaze from the person behind her, the little girl's eyes were horrified. She struggled to get up, but she seemed to have hit her knee and would not be able to stand up for a while.

Just when she thought she could not escape the clutches of the three homeless people behind her and enter the devil's cave her parents talked about, a clean and white hand with sharp knuckles stretched out in front of her.

The little girl raised her head and saw a young man with a dirty face giving her a gentle smile, which made people feel inexplicably friendly.

After a moment's hesitation, the little girl stretched out her small palm and grabbed three of the young man's fingers. Then the other party used a slight force to pull her up, but then actively and quickly withdrew his hand.

It seemed that because she felt the goodwill conveyed by Li Shanren, the little girl did not continue to run away after getting up, but immediately hid behind Li Shanren, her little hands tightly grasping the hem of his clothes, her eyes were nervous and scared, and she looked a little humble. .

"Don't hide behind me, keep running! Find a place to hide."

Li Shanren turned his head helplessly and whispered to the little girl.

He just stretched out his hand within the scope of his ability, but never thought of helping the child stop the three unprovoked colleagues.

Hearing this, the little girl pursed her pink lips, tears lingering near her eyes. Then without saying a word, she let go of her little hand, turned around and ran to the other end of the street.

But because she had just fallen, her knees seemed to be injured, and her running was unnatural, much slower than the loach-like slippery speed before. She probably still couldn't escape.

The three men in ragged clothes chased after her. When they saw Li Shanren helping the little girl escape, they looked at Li Shanren deeply, as if they wanted to remember him.

Afterwards, the three ignored Li Shanren and continued to chase the little girl. However, when the homeless man who was the tallest and strongest among them bumped Li Shanren viciously with his shoulder, he was hit hard. Stumbling in place.

"Sure enough, there is a price to pay for doing good deeds."

Li Shanren finally stood firm, grinning and rubbing his shoulders.

He looked at the backs of the three chasing the little girl, hesitated for a moment, and then took steps to follow.

From an intellectual point of view, Li Shanren should no longer care about the little girl's affairs. He just stretched out his hand and pulled her, which was considered the most benevolent thing. But from an emotional and moral point of view, Li Shanren could not bear to see a child suffer. The persecution of scumbags is ignored.

"Hey, who told my parents to have to name me Li Shanren?" Master Lying Ping sighed, followed the three people's backs, and hurriedly followed.

The last traces of dusk on the horizon faded away, and night gradually covered the entire sky. On the streets where people were coming and going, a small episode was being staged.

The gray-haired little girl in an ice-blue dress limped slightly with her calves and ran hummingly in front of her. There were beads of sweat on her delicate nose. Tears were always accumulating in her eyes, but they never flowed out, even though she was afraid. But he didn't panic, like a deer being chased by a hungry wolf in the forest.

Three homeless men of different heights spread out among the crowd, each staring in one direction. Once they saw the figure of the little gray-haired girl, they beckoned and chased after her, like a pack of wolves on the hunt.

The young man with a dirty face but fair and clean hands followed slowly at the end, his eyes occasionally scanning the plaques on the fronts of pubs, butcher shops, fruit shops and other stores on the street, as if he was secretly memorizing the words on them. Word.

The three parties chased each other and ran to a relatively remote street. There were few pedestrians on the road, but the little gray-haired girl seemed to realize that it was impossible to completely escape the people behind her by simply running away, so she turned and ran into an alley.

Just as the three homeless men were about to catch up, a faint voice came from behind them.

"If I were you, I wouldn't chase you anymore."

The three men in ragged clothes were startled when they heard the words. They all looked back and found that the person who made the noise was actually the bastard who helped the gray-haired little girl escape just now.

Seeing the three eyes converging on him with annoyance, Li Shanren raised his hand, winked, and said while indicating that he was harmless to humans and animals:

"I'm just here to kindly remind you that if you continue to chase, you may attract the guards in the city. Just now, many people saw you chasing the child on the street over there. Maybe someone has already quietly Went to report."

"I remember that the city lord seemed to have regulations that did not prohibit slave trading in the city, but it was strictly forbidden to catch people in the city and then sell them to slave traders. To put it simply, they were not allowed to catch and sell them, at least not officially. What you did just now may have attracted the attention of someone who is interested..."

When the three homeless people heard this, their expressions suddenly turned ugly. It felt like they had spent a lot of time cooking a table of food, but before they even started to use the knives and forks, someone overturned the table on the grounds of food safety, and Li Shanren was the one Reporter.

"If you hadn't helped her, we would have caught her long ago!" the tallest man said angrily.

He took three steps at a time and rushed towards Li Shanren quickly.

Li Shanren, who had a bad feeling in his heart, turned around and started running wildly, but then, a stone flew from behind him and hit him hard on the back of the head.

pain!

Li Shanren stumbled over and was quickly caught up by the tall man, who grabbed the collar of his back and dragged him to the ground.

Finished!

Li Shanren wailed in his heart and struggled desperately, trying to escape, but then he was kicked hard twice, on his fragile waist, which made him lose his strength instantly.

Then, poor Li Shanren was dragged into the deep alley next to him and thrown into a corner.

"It's all caused by this maggot. Our chance of turning around is gone!"

"Kill this idiot with his head full of shit!"

"Let you mind your own business!"

Countless punches and kicks were applied to Li Shanren's body. He curled up subconsciously, hugged his head tightly with his arms, and tried to protect himself as much as possible while screaming, moaning and begging for mercy.

"Hey, stop fighting, stop fighting!"

"I was so wrong! I should have helped you catch her..."

"There will be no next time. I swear, you will never see me again. When the time comes, the big brothers can do whatever they want to her. I promise not to show up again!!"

Listening to Li Shanren's words of begging for mercy, the short man among the homeless people spat and kicked Li Shanren hard on the back, "Is it still useful for you to say this now?!"

They don't know that this is a verbal technique used by experienced bullies to deal with bullies. If they scream hard enough when being beaten, the other party will most likely not hit harder.

The point of being beaten is not actually how badly you are beaten, but whether the perpetrator can feel the pleasure of inflicting punishment on others. Screaming appropriately can obviously speed up the speed at which they obtain pleasure.

"Quack..."

Two crows lurking in the dark flew slowly by and heard the screams in the alley. They stopped curiously on a nearby roof and tilted their heads as they watched the massacre happening in the corner deep in the dark alley.
