Chapter 38 Captivity

After working from midnight until dawn, Bai Yanli and his group were finally able to rest. After distributing half a steamed bun and a bowl of water, the demon in charge of them marked out an area for them.

Wuliu has completely followed Bai Yanli this time, and after eating his steamed buns, he was weak and said: "Where are we going?"

There are quite a few houses in this area, but because of the destruction that night during the siege, none of them can shelter from the wind and rain.

"It's not cold either." Bai Yanli walked towards the place with the fewest people, raised his finger and said, "Let's just take this room."

"Well, okay." The original owner of the house probably fled in a hurry, the things in the house were scattered all over the place, he found a quilt at random, Wuliu tossed a simple bed for himself and sat on it and greeted, "Yanli, together Come and lie down."

"No need." Bai Yanli is not used to sleeping close to people, he looked at the half-collapsed room and found a chair, "I'll lie down there for a while."

"It's better to sleep straight, I have to go in three hours."

The half of the steamed buns were handed out, and the remaining steamed buns could only be obtained before going to work. I didn’t force myself on the fifth or sixth day. I lay on the bed for a while, and I couldn’t stand it anymore because I was so hungry, I turned over and sat up again.

Seeing that he wanted to go out, Bai Yanli hurriedly said, "What are you going for?"

"Find something to eat."

Since the two of them were working together, Bai Yanli was worried that he would cause trouble and provoke demons, and everyone would see what happened to the gangsters that night.

These demons from Nanfu are domineering and don't take human life seriously. They can't tolerate the slightest disobedience from human beings.

"Even if there is food, it will be searched and taken away." After taking down Aocheng for so long, these monsters know how to manage humans well.

"What if." Wuliu didn't give up, and turned over the wall. He had never been hungry before, and he didn't know how hard it was. "When I was working, I just wanted to fall asleep, but now I feel like eating. More importantly, I can't sleep when I'm hungry."

"Did you see those old people?" When I was working, I also saw demons escorting older humans past.

"Yeah." After scouring the rice jar for a long time, Wuliu sat down dejectedly, but couldn't find a single grain of rice.

There were too many things in Bai Yanli's mind, and he couldn't sleep for a while, and there was only one person who could breathe beside him, so he said to Wuliu, "Those old people, where are they going to take them?"

"Young people are useful, children are useful, and young women are also useful, but old people..." When living in Aocheng, Wuliu heard some news about Nanhuang.

"Living is a waste of food." Bai Yanli actually knew it in his heart, and it was because he knew that it was difficult for him to fall asleep.

"Why don't we go out and look for it?" Wuliu gritted his teeth because he was so hungry.

"Aren't you going to rest now, you have to work until dawn at night." It was really uncomfortable to lie on the chair, Bai Yanli pulled some debris and threw it on the ground, and lay down directly on it.

"I don't believe that in such a big place, every household can really eat without missing anything?"

"Food is a necessity that governs us, and it is impossible to have."

"You have to look around to find out." Looking outside, Wuliu found that there were obviously other people who thought the same as him, and several young people were jumping in and out from house to house together.

Bai Yanli thought for a while, got up and went to the door to have a look, but changed his mind for some reason, "Alright then, I'll walk you through a few houses."

"Okay." Wuliu was very happy, and he didn't dare to let him go out alone. At this time, it's not just a demon, if he meets other humans alone, nothing will happen.

It’s fine if you don’t find food, but it would be a shame if you find it and then get snatched away.

Bai Yanli was obviously different from what he thought. He wanted to be familiar with the two streets he was in, and be prepared for opportunities when opportunities arise.

He was unwilling to live like a domestic animal. The tranquility of Baijia Village and the monster that Baijia Village might be guarding made him want to escape from here no matter what the cost.

Wuliu was serious. The two of them went to remote places. Some houses were more damaged. When they went in, they had to hold their heads for fear of being smashed by broken tiles. There were still big puddles of blood on the ground of some houses. Not cleaned up.

The two quickly found several rooms, and when they entered another room, Bai Yanli stared at a painting hanging on the wall in a daze.

In the painting, there is a young and beautiful woman, a handsome and handsome host, and a lively and lovely daughter among them. Such a beautiful family of three has disappeared now.

"Yanli, open that cabinet and have a look!" With his back turned to Bai Yanli, Wuliu sighed, just seeing the vegetable cabinet, he thought he could find something in it.

"En." It should be so, Bai Yanli still stood motionless.

Wuliu yelled again, straightened up and looked at him in a daze, and stepped forward to stare at the painting as well.

"Tell me, are they still alive?" Bai Yanli asked slowly.

"Even if they are alive, I'm afraid they won't be able to reunite."

"Really." With a calm face, Bai Yanli's tone was very long.

Wuliu felt that there was some change in him, turned his head to look at him, and couldn't help saying: "Yanli, although I have only been with you for a short time, I always feel that you..."

"What?" Turning around, Bai Yanli put away his thoughts and smiled at the man beside him.

"I think you seem to be hiding a lot of things."

"can you?"

"Yes!" Clasping palms together, Wuliu's eyes widened, and he said in a low voice, "Look, the feeling now is completely different from before."

"You talk so strangely." Shrugging, Bai Yanli walked out first, denying, "You're just talking."

Wuliu didn't give up, and strode to catch up, "Actually, the elders in my family praised me for my quick mind since I was a child."

"And then?" Bai Yanli stopped for a while and waited for them to stand shoulder to shoulder.

"Anyway, I think you are quite fickle, and the changes are quite abrupt and uncomfortable."

"Are you fickle?" Bai Yanli smiled strangely, "What a coincidence, a demon said that to me not long ago."

"Demon?!" This sound, Wuliu couldn't control it, but fortunately there was no one else around him. After he realized it, he covered his mouth. Seeing Bai Yanli moving forward, he chased after him with a face full of shock. "Do you know demons?"

"Yes."

"Are you raised in captivity?" Many demons will raise humans in captivity, but they often leave engraved seals on the most obvious places on humans.

"No." Bai Yanli motioned the other party to look at the road.

Wuliu jumped over the railing, "Then why do you know Yao?"

It's too weird.

"I kept a few demons in captivity." When he said this, Bai Yanli's tone was so calm that it couldn't be calmer.

Wuliu opened his mouth, first in a daze, then sighed, "You can still make fun of me at a time like this."

Bai Yanli said to himself: "One of them is a flower demon, with a peach on its head dangling around all day long, and loves my egg pancakes the most, and the other is a spider, which grows bigger and smaller. I like hiding on the beams of my house the most.”

"..." I didn't believe it at all, but after hearing everything, Wuliu said seriously: "Then what about the remaining one?"

"The remaining one..." Bai Yanli curled the corner of his mouth, "He has a very bad temper."

"what?"

"I came to Aocheng this time by accident, if he knows." Pushing open the door, Bai Yanli paused before stepping in.

Wuliu listened intently, without noticing his small movements, "Although you are just making up a story, the content is too curious, so what will happen if he finds out?"

"Let's demolish Aocheng again."

"..." This will make it even more bizarre, "Did you know that Nanfu has been rampant throughout the deserted clothes for a long time?"

Demolish Austria City?How dare you blow it!

"It seems that there is still not, let's go back." The room looked clear at a glance, Bai Yanli turned around and wanted to leave.

Wuliu also gave up this meeting, considering that he had to save some energy, so as not to end up falling asleep without finding food, "Let's go."

"elder brother……"

"Who?" Completely subconsciously, Wuliu turned around violently while holding the stick in his hand.

Bai Yanli, who was one step ahead of him, turned around behind him.

A teenage boy slowly climbed up from the floor, "Help me."

"You..." Such a young child was taken away by Unification early in the morning, but how could there be one left here? He hurriedly closed the door, and went to cover the broken window with something.

Bai Yanli walked over and helped the pale boy up, "Did you hide here early in the morning?"

"No, the demon attacked the city that night. After I ran out, I got separated from my parents. I hid for a while, and then came back at dawn."

Not long after the city fell, it is not surprising that there are still people hiding.

Wuliu lamented the good luck of the person, this area was searched early in the morning, "You have been hiding here?"

"Yes, brother, I'm hungry...do you have anything to eat?"

Looking at each other, Wuliu shook his head.

"Father, mother, and the others..." At this age, I can already understand things. If it was a peaceful time, I might have to hide something bad, but at this time, Wuliu said directly: "I don't know if I'm still alive. If I'm still alive, Work should be spread out everywhere."

The little boy gritted his teeth and didn't cry.

Bai Yanli thought for a while, "If you can hide, just hide for now."

Younger children are more at risk than adults.

"Yanli, come here." Wuliu forced a smile, and stood up first.

Bai Yanli touched the little boy's head and asked, "What's your name?"

"My surname is An, and my name is Anwen."

The meaning of the name is obvious. The parents' expectations are very small. I only hope that the child can be safe and sound, but it is a pity... "An Wen, you continue to hide here." Patting the hem of the clothes, Bai Yanli got up and walked Beside Wuliu.

After going out, he closed the door again, with a confused look on his face, "You don't want to take care of things, do you?"

"Do you want him to go to the demon?"

If you continue to hide, you will starve to death sooner or later, but if you go to the demon, you may die immediately.

"We are all overwhelmed, how can we take care of a child."

"It's nothing more than one more steamed bun left every day, and it's more or less enough to survive."

"What about in the future?" Wuliu looked at the dilapidated street, "With the two of us, can he live here forever? It's okay to hide for a while, if those monsters find him, we both have to die."

"Is it okay to just stand by and do nothing?"

"It's none of our business." Wuliu frowned irritably.

Bai Yanli suddenly whispered: "Maybe that's the case. When you die, I feel that I can still live. Even if it's painful, it's okay. When he died, I thought the same way, and everyone thought the same way." .”

"..."

"You don't know about this. I don't know how to protect him for a few days. Let's try it first." Without further words, Bai Yanli turned around and went back to the room, and after explaining a few words to the child named Anwen Come out again.

Wuliu who was waiting outside the door really disappeared.

Bai Yanli sighed, and didn't go back to the house they found before.

Although protecting children is a good deed, it is one's own decision that shouldn't involve others.

After a short rest, when he went back to work at the assembly point, Bai Yanli saw Wuliu. He was already in company with another person, and when he saw his sight, he just nodded and walked away.

Bai Yanli didn't force himself, he went to move the bricks, and watched carefully while working, waiting for the consul's demon to come over, wiped his hands and hurried over.

"Hello, respected Shangyao." Nodding and bending down beside Yaoyao, Bai Yanli said in a respectful tone.

The figure of the demon is a man in his thirties, with a long beard on his chin, and light blue eyes. Except for the black lips that look a little scary, his expression is kind.

"Go up to the demon..." After wiping his face, Bai Yanli tried his best to make himself look clean.

One bite at a time, this human being knows how to please, nodded, and the demon asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"I want to ask if there is any way to get more food."

"More food?" He raised his eyebrows, his light blue eyes fell on the top of Bai Yanli's head, and the monster sneered, "I heard that a human who snatched food had his neck broken on the spot?"

"That's not what I meant." Bai Yanli didn't panic because of the questioning, he expressed clearly: "I will definitely do well what I should do, but I heard that some well-behaved livestock can do things for the demons. More things, I want some handouts."

"You have a good brain." In this situation, it's interesting that you can't stand without fear. The monster thought for a while, then swept him up and down again, "Seeing that you are clean, there is indeed a way."

He took out a small willow leaf from his bosom, and the demon handed it over.

Bai Yanli didn't dare to reach out to pick it up, and fell to his knees on the ground.

The demon raised his eyebrows again, and there was a smile on his face. He threw the willow leaves to the ground, and saw that Bai Yanli immediately picked up the precious one and touched it in his palm.

"It's been a long time since I met a sensible person like you." Looking at the demon following behind, he said, "It's really wasteful to do hard work, let's change to another place later."

"Yes yes yes." Even though he didn't know where he was going and what he was going to do, Bai Yanli still kowtowed gratefully.

The demon walked away without saying anything.

Bai Yanli lay down for a while longer, and when he got up, there was still a monster standing in front of him, facing him expressionlessly, "Follow me."

"Yes."

Because of his boldness, many human beings are carefully observing him. Although they couldn't hear what he said clearly because of the distance, it is obvious that the monster gave him a gift. Pointing and discussion sounded.

Holding the willow leaf in his hands, Bai Yanli followed behind the monster obediently, completely ignoring the surrounding noises.
