C283 A Tragedy in the Human World!
"What's wrong with them? Why are they all kneeling on the ground?"
Ye Fei asked.
"They are all punished to kneel here because they didn't steal the money today. "
The little girl said in a low voice.
" You all should stand up, I'll help you out. "
Ye Fei felt a wave of anger in his heart. He saw that these children were all thin and weak. They were so haggard that it made one's heart ache. Every child's eyes were filled with endless fear. They were young and did not know what a sense of security was.
Ye Fei stretched out his hand towards them, wanting to help the children up. Although the chances of them killing their way out with these children were very slim, Ye Fei could not care less at this moment.
But Ye Fei didn't expect that when he stretched out his hand, the eyes of these children weren't filled with relief, but fear. Not only did they not dare to stand up and grab Ye Fei's hand, but they were also kneeling and retreating. Like avoiding a flood or a ferocious beast, they avoided Ye Fei.
Because two of the children had been kneeling on the cold floor for too long, their legs had become numb, and they were in too much of a hurry to dodge, causing them to fall to the ground.
"What's wrong with you two? I'm here to save you! "
Ye Fei's eyes were filled with shock as he shouted.
" Uncle, don't blame them. They are also scared of being beaten up. They are scared of Master. They don't believe in Master. “
The little girl said in a low voice.
In fact, this little girl was also afraid and hated her master. If it wasn't for her slightly older age, and seeing Ye Fei beating up the bad guys who usually bullied her, she would barely know that Ye Fei was a good person.
Otherwise, this little girl wouldn't dare to leave with Ye Fei.
"Then what should we do now? Quickly persuade them to leave with me. The guards will be back soon. "
Ye Fei knew that his words were no longer effective. These children had already sealed their hearts. They did not believe in adults and could only rely on this little girl to persuade them.
The little girl nodded obediently." This uncle is a good person. He came to save us. Everyone ran with him. "
Hearing the little girl's words, the despair in the children's eyes started to flicker with a glimmer of hope.
A little boy said in a mosquito's voice," Sister, is it true? Is he really not a bad person? "
Looking at the children's eyes, Ye Fei's eyes were also somewhat moist. He put the little girl aside and said," It's fine, it's fine. As long as uncle is here, no one can bully you. "
The children's eyes were still filled with suspicion. They looked at Ye Fei, who was still kneeling on the ground. They still did not dare to stand up.
Ye Fei walked over and picked up the children one by one.
They were all very thin and weak, and did not have a weight similar to their age.
"Are there only the few of you here?" Ye Fei asked.
Those children still did not dare to speak. The little girl who was saved by Ye Fei just now was slightly older. She was a bit bolder and replied, "There are a few more down there. They have been locked up in a small black room. I haven't eaten for two days. I was locked up there just now."
There was another floor of this basement. It was a cellar with an iron well cover and a stone on top.
Ye Fei moved the stone away and opened the iron well cover. He saw that the cellar was pitch black. It was filled with a rotten stench, and there was a rotten smell of meat.
"Is this place a place for people to stay? “
Ye Fei held back the urge to vomit. He took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and jumped into the cellar. Ye Fei was stunned.
The cellar was not big. It was dug out later, so it was full of dirt. The ground was wet, cold, and cold. It was not a place for humans to live.1
However, there were six or seven children curled up in the cellar. The oldest was not more than twelve years old, and the youngest was only four or five years old.
Every child had a look of fear on their faces. The light from their phones was not bright. Especially in this dark cellar, the light seemed to have been swallowed by the darkness. However, the first reaction of these children was to turn their heads in a hurry. They didn't know how long it had been since they last saw the light, but this weak light actually made them feel piercing.
What made Ye Fei's heart hurt the most was that in a corner of the cellar, there were two children who were grabbing the mud on the ground and stuffing it into their mouths. It seemed like they really couldn't stand the hunger anymore, even though they were eating mud and chewing it with all their might.
The most fragile part of Ye Fei's heart was shattered. He couldn't hold back anymore, and tears flowed out of his eyes.
Ye Fei had heard from his grandfather that in the old society, people were too poor and had no food to eat. Those who were starving to death would go and bite the millstone. They would bite until all the teeth in their mouths were shattered. There were also some who would eat the soil, not digesting it in their stomachs. Their stomachs swelled and they died.
However, Ye Fei didn't expect that in today's society, such a young child could be so hungry that he could eat dirt.
Just how cruel was Master Qiao to be able to do such a crazy thing?
Ye Fei's heart seemed to be tightly gripped by someone. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said softly, "Children, come out, come out quickly!"
No one dared to move, because Ye Fei did not care about them often. They did not know if they should listen to Ye Fei.
"Follow me out. I will save you all." Ye Fei comforted them in a low voice.
Finally, an older child carefully stood up, but he was too weak. He just stood up and knelt down again. He could only crawl over with his four limbs on the ground.
Ye Fei supported him. This child was already eleven or twelve years old, but his weight definitely did not exceed thirty kilograms. He was bony and rugged. Even his cheeks were sunken in, making him look like a skeleton.
In an instant, Ye Fei somewhat understood why that child called skeleton gave him that terrifying nickname. He was once a victim, but now, he had become an accomplice.
Ye Fei lifted this child up and rescued him from the cellar. When the other children saw this situation, they also mustered their courage and followed him out.
Ye Fei pulled out all the children and heard the little girl counting, "One, two, three. Four. Five, six. Seven, he said. “
The little girl counted once and realized something was not right. She immediately counted again and realized that there was one less child. She shouted at Ye Fei, "Uncle, one less."
Ye Fei held his phone and took a look around the cellar. He said with certainty," This place is not big. There is no one here. "
The older child who had just been rescued said, "Uncle, it is in the corner. He can't take it anymore. Let's..."
Ye Fei walked to the corner of the cellar and saw a small lump of dirt in the corner. He pushed open a layer of dirt and saw a child's pale face. Ye Fei's trembling fingers touched the child's face, but the tentacles were cold.
Ye Fei's heart tightened. He hurriedly picked up the child and touched his breath. This poor child had long stopped breathing.
Only then did Ye Fei understand that this child had died a long time ago. His friends used their hands to dig the mud and dig a shallow grave for him, burying him here.
Ye Fei dug out the dead child's corpse, carried it out of the cellar, and said to the children, "Let's go. Uncle will bring you home. “
At this time, a cold voice suddenly sounded from above. A group of people had already walked out and stood at the entrance of the basement. "Want to leave? None of you can leave!"
