Chapter 526 (1/2)
”Of course, if you think your reasons can save your life, you can say.”
Luo Chen nodded, looked at the boy on the ground and said slowly.
”But the final decision is still in my hands. I'm in charge of whether you live or die.”
”Ah...”
The young man was dumb. Unexpectedly, Luo Chen said so frankly. Then he looked up at Luo Chen and hesitated to continue to speak.
”I'd better say it. Although I don't know if you will let me go, it's better to let you know.”
”Then you say.”
Luo Chen didn't talk nonsense either. He nodded slowly, which meant that the boy could start.
”I... Come from a small village around Tangmen.”
The boy swallowed his saliva and began to tell his reasons slowly.
”Since I can remember, our village has been squeezed by Tangmen. Like those bandits, they burn, kill and loot all kinds of evil. They have to give them a large part of the annual harvest.”
”My parents... Were killed by people from Tangmen, only because our family had paid less than a kilo of grain.”
Hearing this, Luo Chen frowned slightly. One kilogram of grain and two lives are not taken seriously in the eyes of Tangmen, but Luo Chen didn't interrupt the boy, but just listened quietly.
”For so many years, I have been growing up on a hundred meals, but because each family doesn't have much food, only a small part can be given to me. When I'm hungry, I can only catch some pheasants and rabbits in the mountain. Even these things have to be caught secretly and can't be found by Tangmen. Because they say... Those things are also the property of Tangmen. Their lives are much more valuable than ours, so there are not many such opportunities. They are hungry most of the time. ”
Hearing this, Luo Chen couldn't help sneering, took out a piece of huazi, lit it for himself, and took a deep breath.
It's funny that pheasants and rabbits are worth more than human life.
”Moreover, all the young and middle-aged people in the village were caught in the Tang clan. As a worker, I escaped because I was young.”
”The old people in the village take good care of me, and the food they give me is saved bit by bit from their mouths. Although not much, I am also grateful to them. They saved my life.”
The boy said, his eyes gradually moist, looked up at Luo Chen and continued.
”That's why I thought to steal something from there and subsidize the grandparents' families to repay their upbringing, so that they can have a better life in the future.”
”Hiss...”
Luo Chen took a deep breath of huazi, stared at the boy and said.
”Although your story is touching, I can't judge whether what you say is true or false. Can I trust you?”
”Really! What I said is true! You believe me. ”
The boy looked at Luo Chen and said eagerly.
”In this case, do I dare to lie to you? I'm not a fool, and I want to live. ”
”Well, trust you first.”
Luo Chen chuckled, spit out a perfect smoke ring, and then looked at the boy and continued to ask.
”How do you know we have so many good things, and how do you know our route?”
”It's crazy now. The leader of Tianyuan Shengzong slaughtered the whole Tang clan with his disciples and took all the things of the Tang clan.”
The boy looked at Luo Chen and said slowly.
”Do you know me?”
Luo Chen was stunned and asked, pointing to his nose.
”Who doesn't know Lord Luo of Tianyuan Shengzong, especially in our villages oppressed by the Tang clan, has regarded Lord Luo as a great benefactor.”
The boy bowed his head slightly and said aloud.
”Hahaha...”
Luo Chen couldn't help laughing, and then looked down at the boy again.
”Think of me as a benefactor and think of stealing from me? What is the reason? ”
”This... This...”
