Chapter 332: ten children
Chapter 332 Ten Children
After a while, I saw a few people suddenly turned out of the Lin family's yard. They were still holding the chicken in their hands, and ran up the mountain anxiously.
Zi Tian was about to chase, Nangong Anshan said: "You all go back to the space, I will go to find them personally, if there is any danger, I will release you again."
Bringing them both made her easily exposed.
Her plan is very simple, she wants to see how many people are thieves in Liuye Village.
Zitian and Ziyun had no choice but to listen to their master and return to the space obediently.
Nangong Anshan saw that those people were about to run away, so she followed them quickly.
The people in front of her did not run away in a hurry, but ran to the vegetable field again, picked a lot of vegetables and wrapped them in clothes.
Waiting for them to feel enough, they went to the mountains.
As soon as they entered the forest, they lit the torches and ran quickly into the mountains.
Nangong Anshan followed behind them.
After a while, she saw them enter a cave.
Seeing a huge rock outside the cave, she quickly hid there and listened to their conversation.
"Brother Han, you are back."
"Well, I'm back. I was lucky tonight. I found two chickens. I went to the vegetable field to pick some vegetables. These are enough for us to eat for a day."
Nangong Anshan poked her head out cautiously, and glanced at the situation inside the cave.
There are torches lit everywhere inside, and you can clearly see the situation inside.
There are ten people in total, and there are pots and pans inside, cooking things at this time.
The two chickens they brought back have not been killed yet.
One person said: "Hey, there is no way for us to go on like this. I really feel uncomfortable stealing other people's food every day."
Another person said: "There is nothing we can do. We are young, and no one wants us to work when we go to the city. We have inquired about the richest places before, and they all said that the people in Liuye Village are the wealthiest. Stealing a little food shouldn't make it difficult for them to live."
Another person said: "I heard the old man say that if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. I think if we do this every day in the future, we will probably be caught sooner or later. What should we do at that time?"
"Yeah, when we went to steal things tonight, many people moved their things into the sleeping room, just to guard against us, and they are probably trying to find a way to catch us. If we are caught, will we be caught?" Send it to the government?"
The air suddenly became quiet, so quiet that only the sound of my own breathing could be heard.
One person said: "Okay, let's count it as a day. Among us, only a few people are older, and the others are younger. If we didn't steal things, they would have died long ago."
Others also thought he was right.
"Okay, everyone kill the chicken quickly, we have a good rest after eating, and we have to avoid those villagers going up the mountain during the day tomorrow."
"Okay, Brother Han."
After speaking, those people began to process the food and prepare to eat.
Nangong Anshan watched those people preparing to eat with sad faces.
When she first saw those footprints, she suspected that children stole them, but she didn't expect that there were so many children.
Of the ten children, several were under the age of seven, and the one who stole things just now was relatively older, but judging from their height and tone of voice, it is estimated that they were no more than fourteen years old.
She thought about it, then went out, pretending to be vicious and said: "Okay, it turns out that you stole things from our village, so don't try to run away today!"
The children in the cave were startled when they heard the harsh voice suddenly, and suddenly looked in the direction of the sound.
Seeing that it was a child, the older ones breathed a sigh of relief.
Just a few small ones, huddled together nervously.
Seeing their performance, Nangong Anshan frowned.
Sure enough, her appearance as a ten-year-old child has no deterrent effect on these children.
If she called the people in the village, they probably would have fled long ago.
One person stepped forward and said, "Girl, are you from Liuye Village?"
Nangong Anshan said: "That's right, a lot of vegetables from my farm have been stolen by you recently!"
"Girl, I'm sorry, we didn't do it on purpose. We are really hungry, and we have no choice. How about this, we'll leave right away, and please don't call your lord here, girl, we will never steal things from Liuye Village again. .”
Nangong Anshan frowned, she was indeed a child, if she found out about an adult, probably the first thing she would do would be to silence her.
But they still have a bit of conscience.
After the man finished speaking, he began to pack his things.
Nangong Anshan said: "Don't pack it up, your things are most likely stolen from our village, if you have any conscience, put them all down."
The oldest child glanced at those things reluctantly, and said helplessly, "Okay... well, these should indeed be returned to others."
After speaking, he was about to leave with the others.
Seeing that they really wanted to leave, Nangong Anshan saw that the younger children still looked sad, as if they didn't know where to go, and said, "Hey, I'll ask you a few questions, if your answers satisfy me , I can find a place for you."
Let them go now, it is estimated that they will be eaten by wild beasts on the mountain in a short time.
They have been on the mountain for so long without any accident, which is considered lucky.
The eldest child was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said, "Say, we will definitely satisfy you."
Nangong Anshan walked into the cave and found a place to sit down.
Although it is summer, it is still a bit cold on the mountain at night, so I still rely on the fire to keep warm.
"You guys also find a place to sit down."
The other children looked at each other, but they were children after all, so they obediently found a seat and sat down.
Nangong Anshan looked at the oldest child and said, "What's your name?"
The child replied: "My name is Han Dayu."
"How old is this year?"
"I'm fourteen years old."
fourteen?
It looks like Twelve.
Nangong Anshan looked at him carefully and said, "Where do you come from?"
Han Dayu said: "We come from a village on the border. Ever since we knew there was going to be a war on the border, our parents took us away."
"What about your parents?"
Speaking of his parents, Han Dayu said with a sad face: "We were unlucky. On the way our parents took us to escape, we encountered robbers. Our parents fought desperately against the robbers in order to buy us time to escape. We escaped smoothly, but after We quietly went back to find our parents, only found fragments of their clothes and a lot of blood on the ground, it is estimated that they were all eaten by wild animals."
