After dealing with the people in the yard, Golden Boy went to search the two rooms at the back, but no other people were found.
However, the food stored by this group of children was found in one of the rooms, leaving only two pieces of black bread, a piece of bacon from an unknown animal, and a half-pot of boiled beans.
It happened that the golden boy was also hungry at this time, so he took all these things to the yard. He took a bite of the black bread first, and felt a little bit chewy, so he threw it aside.
Then I put my nose to the pot of beans and smelled them. I didn't smell any strange smell, so I picked them up with a spoon and ate them with the piece of bacon.
Listening to the sound of him eating, the five people on the ground couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and at the same time they felt sorry for the bread he threw away.
Wendy was not lying when she said that it was not easy to get food in the city now, otherwise they would not go out to rob.
The golden boy finished half the pot of beans in a short while, licked his lips with unfinished content, and said to the five people on the ground.
"I have a few questions……"
"You bad guy, you stole our stuff, we won't answer you!" shouted the youngest child.
The golden boy smiled, "You have never killed anyone, but I have killed a lot of people, hundreds of them."
"you are lying!"
"I did not lie."
"So it turns out that having two days off from school is not a good thing," Wendy sneered, "your hands are also stained with blood."
"Those people were all killed when I was still working as a dog for Herodotus." The golden boy said leisurely, and then he continued after a pause.
"But I don't mind killing more people for Shuangxiujiao. There are still many people in this world who deserve to die."
Wendy felt a hint of murderous intent, and she realized that the man in front of her was not joking.
So after a moment of silence, she finally gave in, "If we answer your question, will you let us go?"
"It depends on your performance." Golden Boy said, "The first question is, where did the hand crossbows in your hands come from?"
"It was left by Ai Lin's father. He was originally a guard of the Layin Mendi family and was killed by people from the Blood Moon Society." After speaking, Wendy looked at the golden boy again.
There was no expression on the latter's face, and he could not tell that he was dissatisfied with her answer. "Second question, do you know Brad, the shoemaker from Perfume Street?"
"I know him." The young man named Tommen replied quickly, "About a year ago, he moved out of Scale City. It is said that he planned to go to Rock Snow City to open a new store with his brothers."
"What about Boggs the Butcher in Blessing Square?"
Boys and girls, you look at me and I look at you. After a moment, the youngest child said, "I saw him a week ago, but then I heard that he was called to help at the military camp."
Golden Boy frowned, and Wendy said at the side, "The three people you are looking for... probably have nothing to do with each other."
"This is not something you should care about." Golden Boy said, "I have finished asking my questions, and now I want you to do one more thing for me and leave as many cross marks as possible in the city.
"You can carve it on the wall, on the ground, on the tree... It doesn't have to be too conspicuous, but try to find as many places as possible to carve it."
The five people knew that they had no choice, so they could only nod and agree.
Then Golden Boy walked over to untie them, but when Wendy was left alone, Golden Boy stopped.
"You don't need to go, just stay with me and save others from doing whatever little things they do outside."
The four people who went out didn't come back until dark. They were already hungry and their stomachs were growling.
The golden boy ignored them, and the four of them could only pick up the black bread that the golden boy had thrown on the ground and share it with Wendy silently.
They were very tired after an afternoon of hard work. When they got back to the house, they lay down on the bed, but they couldn't fall asleep.
Because the golden boy was lying in the room next to theirs.
Some people suggested waiting for the golden boy to fall asleep and secretly wipe his neck. However, they were worried that the golden boy had not died in his sleep and would suffer disaster if he was discovered. Some people said that they should take this opportunity to escape.
Just when the guys were quarreling, Wendy said, "Escape and then, where do we go and what do we eat? How can we live in the city without this shelter?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Aylin gritted his teeth, "Then we have no choice but to take action. He has so much money with him. As long as we can grab it, no one will have to go hungry in the future."
Mentioning the heavy bag of gold coins, the hearts of the boys and girls became warm again.
However, Wendy poured cold water on her again, "We can't keep the money."
"We have hand crossbows." Aylin was unconvinced.
"But have you ever killed anyone?" Wendy asked, "Before, there were five of us against one, and you and Tommen pointed crossbows at that guy, but in the end he turned around and tied us all up."
"Then we just wait to die," the oldest of them, Galen, frowned. "He has eaten all the beans and the bacon is gone. We can still pick up the bread he doesn't want and eat it tonight. What will we do tomorrow?"
"Rather than just sit back and wait for death, it's better to take another shot."
After Galen finished speaking, before the next person could speak, the golden boy's voice sounded outside the door.
"How is it? Have you come up with the result of your discussion?"
The room suddenly became quiet.
The golden boy pushed the door open and came in. He glanced at the five people in the room with a half-smiling look on his face.
At this time, Wendy suddenly said, "We have reached the conclusion of our discussion and plan to join the weekend training."
"Um?"
"I don't plan to stay in Scaled City any longer. There's nothing to commemorate here anyway. I want to go to the green fields, but I don't know if I can find a job there to support myself."
This answer surprised Golden Boy. He touched his chin and said, "Do you want to go to Green Field? It's not difficult to fill your stomach there. Many places are short of manpower, and you can get two days off for every five days of work."
"That's fine." Wendy said, "Can you take me away?"
"No." Golden Boy said, "I have other tasks, and I am not a monk responsible for preaching, and I am not responsible for recruiting believers. But... when I finish my work, I will see if I can bring you along.
Take it away."
After saying that, he looked at the other four people, "What about you?"
The four of them looked at each other, and Ai Lin said, "I won't leave. Before my father died, he asked me to serve the Layin Mendi family. I want to stay here and help them take back the Scaled City."
"Please wake up, Aylin." Wendy said, "The Layinmondi family is finished. All their people are dead."
"There are also collateral lines." Ailin muttered.
"Then it won't be too late for you to come and help when they call back. Okay, that's it, you can go together."
Wendy was obviously the leader of this small group. As soon as she spoke, Aylin, although still a little reluctant, finally stopped clamoring to stay.
