All true evil does not expose itself to the public eye, because the appearance of hypocrisy and the mask of falsehood are the most important tools to protect evil. otbnkotgt I had chains on my hands, and the little girl sat beside me, and the two of us were in a cage made of wood.
A couple of medium-sized monsters that looked like they had been tamed pulled us forward.
The little girl curled up in the corner, although her hair was long but slightly naturally curled, although her face was a little dusty, but she could still see that her original skin should be very white, and the little girl's eyes were very similar to the villagers here, and if you looked closely, you could see that the little girl's eyes flashed with a faint blue light.
She had not spoken, she was unclothed, she was not wearing shoes, her body trembled slightly, and she did not seem to have recovered from the shock just now.
"What's your name?"
I asked in a low voice.
The little girl raised her head to look at me when she heard the voice, then shook her head and whispered: "I didn't have a name, and the master didn't name me, but the old man gave me a name, and he called me Yaya" I was stunned for a moment, then gently moved to her side.
Sitting down and leaning on her side, she looked a little scared, but fortunately, not overly nervous.
"Where did you come from, and why were you taken into slavery?"
I asked in a low voice.
"I'm from another village.
Then there was a war, and almost all the people in the village died, and I was captured by my master and brought back, and I became a slave. ” Simple words, in fact, speak of a very cruel reality.
"So how long have you been in this village?"
I continued.
"Hmm.
It's been almost two years, my grandfather took care of me, and I originally had a big sister, but then she was drawn as bait and never came back.
All the people who drew the red stones didn't come back alive, so, I'm scared."
For such a little girl, perhaps too early exposure to cruelty and death.
Yaya fell silent again.
Silently resting her head on her knees, I heard her whispering, "I probably can't go back, the old man can't walk anymore."
I can't help him anymore."
The old man she said was probably the old man who pleaded for Yaya in front of the altar before, although he didn't dedicate his life, but I think he at least had the courage to speak for Yaya, which is a kind of bravery.
The atmosphere was a little stagnant, I laughed, reached out and rubbed Yaya's head, she raised her head and looked at me strangely, subconsciously wanted to hide to the side, I was stunned, but I saw some purple scars and bruises on her neck and arms that had not yet disappeared.
"I, I thought you were going to hit me, but the master always beat me like this" There was a twinkle of fear in her eyes, not a pretended pity, but a seed of fear that had indeed been planted in the depths of her heart.
"Don't worry, the big brother won't beat you, and you won't die if the big brother is there."
I said to her in as relaxed a tone as I could.
"The eldest sister said the same thing when she left, she said she would come back, but she never came back later, Yaya didn't believe it" She kept shaking her head, and I might be able to understand her current state of mind, when anticipation turned into hopelessness, when torture turned into habit, when fear replaced happiness, and in the heart of this little girl, who seemed to be only five or six years old at most, there might be only darkness.
Maybe it's empathy, maybe it's a sympathetic resonance, when I look at Yaya, I feel like I saw myself nine years ago, and she is more miserable than me, because she can't resist.
Yaya lowered her head, and then I leaned over and stretched out her little thumb, and she was stunned, and looked up at me, the little one's eyes were big and beautiful, and they were the only places on her body that were not polluted by dust.
"Let's pull the hook."
I said with a smile.
"Pull Hook" The girl looked at me strangely and puzzled.
I smiled and nodded, "Big brother, I came in from the outside world, and in the outside world, people will hook their little fingers together when they agree with each other."
Big brother assures you, Yaya, you won't die, I won't die, I will take you out of here and live a happy life. ” She hesitated, and finally raised her hand gently, and the cold little thumb gently hooked my fingers, and I whispered: "Pull the hook and hang for a hundred years, and it will not change, the big brother promised Yaya that he would take Yaya out of here alive." ” Yaya said in a low voice: "Pull the hook and hang yourself, you can't change for a hundred years, Yaya, I believe in the big brother" "Hmph, you're still playing this kind of deceptive trick."
One of the hunters next to the cage sneered after catching a glimpse of our behavior.
I raised my head and glared at him, and the magic fire in my left palm jumped, startling the Orion, and immediately aimed the weapon in my hand at me.
"Shut your mouth."
I whispered, and Orion cursed, but deliberately walked to the back of the cell.
After traveling for about half a day, we finally arrived at the place near evening, the key is that the speed of walking in the dense forest is not fast, in front of us can see a light hill where trees do not grow, in front of the hill is a big river, and behind is a large hole estimated to be about ten meters high.
"Down" The two hunters opened the door of the cage and pulled us down.
I took the girl's hand, and the little one hid behind me, clinging to my side, like a kitten that had been overly frightened.
Kuka was the leader of the hunt, along with two more warriors and more than thirty hunters.
"Come over here."
A warrior yelled at us, and when he walked over, he saw Kuka holding a map of animal skins in his hand and was studying, and when he saw us coming, he said: "In the cave in front of us is the demon beast guarding the iron mine, it is a gray demon beast, the body is more than thirty meters long, but the height is only five or six meters, but because the skin is as hard as steel, so ordinary chopping cannot produce results, and our people enter the cave after the battle is too unfavorable, so you go in and draw it out, and the rest of the battle will be handed over to us, do you understand?"
Kuka said while looking at the map, without even looking at us, I raised my eyebrows and said, "Don't you know the least politeness, do you have to look at others when you speak?"

Kuka frowned, looked back at me, and said impatiently, "You're a slave, understand?"
I sneered and said, "Why do you really think I'm afraid that you have the ability to take off the armor on your body, and see that I don't burn all your animals to death with a fire."
As soon as I finished speaking, a warrior next to me came up and kicked me on the waist, I dodged and dodged, and when I turned around, I slapped him in the face, the armor these guys wore seemed to be very restrained from my magic fire, rather than fighting with fists and magic fire, it was better to slap him to relieve his anger first.
"How dare you humiliate me" The warrior who was slapped by me let out a loud shout and drew his sword as he spoke, but Kuka stopped him.
"The bait can't be killed, or our people will be sacrificed."
Kuka is still a little sane.
With a sneer on my face, I whispered, "I heard that the slaves who used your bait here are all dead, and I don't think you think we will come back alive."
In that case, let's give us a good meal as a severed head. ” Kuka ignored me and waved his hand, and several Orions led us to the front of the line, one of whom gave us a few pieces of charred meat wrapped in leaves.
"Eat, get in when you're full."
Orion laughed and stepped back.
I looked at the flesh wrapped in the leaves, just a few pieces, and at first glance it was burned, large patches of black burnt, exuding a thick mushy smell.
I couldn't eat it, but I saw the maid next to me squatting on the ground, gobbling up the burnt meat like a stray cat, so I hurriedly pulled her away and said, "This meat is burnt and can't be eaten." ” But then I saw a confused look in Yaya's eyes, and whispered: "But, big brother, that's meat, Yaya hasn't eaten meat for a long time, it's so fragrant."
At this moment, I gently hugged Yaya, and whispered with red eyes: "Wait for the big brother to take you out to eat delicious food, eat a lot of meat":
