40 Chapter 113 - Padophilis (4K)
{Author... you are such a troll}
[You lost the only family you had.]
[Early in the morning, you stand alone in the street, you look at the world and you feel out of place.]
[You're just a child who's just learning, but fate is playing such a trick on you.]
[A sum of money, it's the only thing your adoptive father left you, and it's all you have now.]
[Though you are sad, your life needs to go on, now that you have nothing but the money left to you by your adoptive father, what do you decide to do?]
[1 Become a vagabond like your adoptive father: with the earth as your bed and the sky as your blanket, it is incumbent upon you to follow in your father's footsteps and carry on the great lineage, and revitalize the vagabond business!
[2 Obey your foster father's words and work as a servant in a rich neighborhood: rich woman, hungry!
[3 Go to an orphanage: I hear there's an orphanage on Dusk Street, seems like something you could check out?
[4 Go find someone to adopt you: Lu Yu has spent half of his life looking for a good master, if you don't give up Lu Yu would like to be his father!
[5 Stay put: you still have money now, this is enough to live alone for at least a few months, you can totally look again]]
"Hiss, why are there so many choice items this time? Surely it's still the talent that raises the difficulty?"
Lu Yu remembered very clearly that the previous choice items were usually two or three choices, and these five choices seemed to be something that really hadn't happened a few times.
Moreover, this should be the key choice item, right?
What one chooses, then the next trajectory of one's life would most likely be locked down.
"I'll think about it."
Five choice items, five different paths.
Lu Yu first ruled out the first item, being a vagabond definitely didn't have much of a future, it was clearly the wrong choice item.
Then the second item of going to the rich district to become a servant, this option Lu Yu also directly passed it off.
The environment of his simulation this time is Dusk Street, which means that this is a former civilization, the situation of the former civilization Lu Yu is not clear, but there is only one thing Lu Yu is aware of, and that is that the vagabonds in Dusk Street have no human rights at all.
A person without human rights to leave Dusk Street to go to the rich area alone, and also a small child with no hands to think about it is not too good.
The third option seemed to be a good choice, but if you think about it, in a place like Dusk Street that eats people without spitting bones, what kind of real charity can an orphanage be?
Lu Yu felt that nine times out of ten, this orphanage was not a good place.
So after removing the above options, there were only two left.
One was to find another person to raise him, and the second was to press on.
"Hmm ..."
"I'll go with press on."
Actually, going to find someone to adopt himself was the best option, but ...
The people on Dusk Street were all people Lu Yu was clear about, and by finding a random person to adopt, Lu Yu was worried that he would be robbed of his money by the other party before abandoning himself.
Now he is not able to survive for the time being, it is better to live alone.
[After some thought, you chose to live alone, and you bought a half-new tent with the money your adoptive father left behind.]
[You didn't return to the location where you and your adoptive father lived to be stationed, that place held too many memories for you, and staying there would leave you breathless.]
[You walked for a long time, you found a crappy building on a sparsely populated street, and you decided to live here as your base.]
[Your foster father left you fifteen hundred-dollar-denomination bills, you spent eighty dollars on the tent today, and you're currently left with a little over fourteen hundred.]
[You didn't waste the money your foster father left you, you know that this money is the only thing you have to survive, you ate a few buns and a bottle of water today.]]
[As night falls, you realize for the first time what it's like to live alone.]
[You toss and turn in your tent, you can't sleep, you're scared, lonely, afraid, uneasy about the future, all kinds of emotions that make you not dare to close your eyes at all.]
[Late at night, you huddle in the corner of your tent, and you begin to miss your foster father, at least you could sleep when he was still around.]
[As you are having trouble sleeping, suddenly you hear a footstep, the footsteps walk up to your tent, and you have a vague feeling that someone is coming, what are you going to do?]
[1 Pretend to sleep and then pretend you don't know anything.]
[2 Get up immediately and run away.]
[3 Concentrate, and as soon as the other person enters your tent, you launch an attack at them!
"I choose 3."
Pretending to be dead would most likely lead to direct death, as for escaping, he obviously had no way to run now that he was in the tent, so all Lu Yu could do was resist.
[Any mistake in Dusk Street is fatal, you are still young but you have the most basic vigilance].
[You moved your position slightly, and then readied yourself to attack the incoming person.]
Torn .....
Torn .....
Lu Yu, who was hiding in the tent, heard the sound of the visitor opening the zipper of the tent.
The other person's movement was very light, pulling it very slowly, and as the other person moved, the moonlight slowly sprinkled into the tent.
With the help of the moonlight, Lu Yu could slightly see the figure of the other party.
The other party did not look like an adult, but a child!
Since it was a child, Lu Yu was not afraid, Lu Yu slowly moved to the side of the tent door and then waited for the other party to come in.
After a few minutes, the other party finally unzipped all the zippers of the tent door, and just at the moment when the other party completely unzipped the tent door to close it, Lu Yu struck.
Lu Yu grabbed the other party's hand, and then used all his strength to grab the other party into the tent.
"Ai ai ai ah?! Ya !!!!"
The other party obviously did not realize that Lu Yu still had this hand, and with a surprised voice, the other party's entire body was pulled into the tent by Lu Yu.
The moment he approached the other party, Lu Yu directly yanked the other party down to the ground, then Lu Yu pressed on the other party, and then choked the other party's neck with one of his remaining hands.
Learning from his adoptive father's tone of voice, Lu Yu said viciously, "Don't move! Move again and I'll break your neck!"
In Dusk Street, don't sympathize with anyone, everyone could be your enemy.
This was what his adoptive father taught Lu Yu before he died, and Lu Yu remembered it clearly.
"Fine, fine, I won't move I won't move!"
Scared by Lu Yu's vicious tone, the intruder hurriedly stopped twisting his body.
Listening to the other party's voice answering his own, Lu Yu realized that the other party seemed to be a girl.
"Who are you and why did you enter my tent?!"
Lu Yu looked at the person who was pressed underneath his body as he increased his strength.
"You'd better be honest or else ..."
"Pain pain painful pain painful painful painful! Big brother, I'm sure to tell the truth, you lighten up you lighten up!"
Being pushed so hard by Lu Yu, the girl directly couldn't stand the pain, her voice took on a hint of begging for mercy.
"Say, what are you?"
Lu Yu slightly relaxed the hand that was choking the other party's neck, but the strength on his body still did not decrease.
"I ... My name is Padophilis, I live not far away, and I'm not a bad person to come here, I just went home and saw an extra tent here before I curiously walked over!"
Listening to the other party's reply, Lu Yu's face expressionlessly increased its power.
This person was lying!
Although he wasn't sure what time it was now, Lu Yu was certain that it was late at night, a little girl coming home late at night. And then also curiously walks into his tent? This was clearly unreasonable!
"Ouch, pain pain pain! Big brother, don't pinch, I'll talk, I'll talk!!!"
"I'm a vagabond living around, I really don't have any bad intentions, I just happened to see an extra tent here, and then wanted to come in to take a look ..."
Lu Yu: "Come in and take a look. What are you looking at?"
"I ..... I ...."
Padophilis stammered.
Hearing that the other party didn't answer, Lu Yu didn't talk nonsense as he once again increased the power in his hands.
"I say I say!!!"
Under Lu Yu's pressure, Padophilis finally managed to tell her purpose.
"Big brother, your tent looks quite new, I think you shouldn't be some poor poor guy who's too poor, I've been hungry for a day so I wanted to take advantage of the fact that you're asleep to see if there's any food coming! I didn't have any other ideas, I just wanted to get some food!"
As Padophilis surrendered, her stomach rumbled at that moment, as if proving her master's words.
"Gurgle ~~~~~"
Hearing the other party's gurgling stomach, the force in Lu Yu's hands loosened a bit.
This time, Padophilis should not have lied.
"Big brother big brother, I've said it all, let go of me, I wouldn't have come if I knew you were so powerful! Look I didn't get my way here either, can you let me live? And I'm a girl, you've been pressing me like this is not good right!"
Lu Yu: "..."
After thinking for a while, Lu Yu let go of Padophilis and then stood up.
As Lu Yu got up, Padophilis, who had finally gotten relieved, also felt like standing up from the ground.
The two stood up and then looked at each other almost simultaneously, what just happened was too fast, both of them almost didn't see each other clearly, at this time by the light of the moon, both of them finally saw each other's appearance clearly.
Padophilis is about a head taller than Lu Yu and looks like she should be eight or nine years old, she is wearing somewhat worn clothes, and a head of gray short hair, her face is quite clean, and her appearance also looks quite good.
While Lu Yu was observing Padophilis, Padophilis was also observing Lu Yu.
A young boy who was also wearing shabby clothes, good looking, but he looked very thin and weak, and he didn't know where he got that much strength just now.
After the two of them stared at each other for a while, Padophilis finally couldn't help herself, and she spoke first.
"Big brother, you don't have anything to lose, and I've been pinned by you for so long for nothing, counting it's me who's at a disadvantage, so can I just leave?"
Lu Yu stared straight at Padophilis and after a few seconds, Lu Yu also spoke.
"You go."
Just as Padophilis said, he had nothing to lose, a girl who looked a few years older than himself had been hungry for a day, which meant that she was indeed poor, so there was nothing to be gained by keeping Padophilis, so she could leave if she wanted to.
"Hehe, thank you, big brother, I'll leave right away!"
Receiving Lu Yu's reply, Padophilis hurriedly turned around intending to leave, however, just in the moment she moved her sight away from Lu Yu, an item placed in the corner of the tent attracted Padophilis' attention.
Padophilis: "!!!!!"
What attracted Padophilis' attention were two steamed buns, which were left over from Lu Yu's meal during the day today, and what Lu Yu intended to save for tomorrow's breakfast.
Having been hungry for the whole day, nothing could attract Padophilis more than food right now.
Seeing the two large white steamed buns at this moment, Padophilis suddenly couldn't walk.
"What?"
Seeing Padophilis still not walking, Lu Yu frowned.
"Big brother, big brother, can I beg you for one thing please."
Looking at the steamed bun, Padophilis swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"You want this?"
Following Padophilis' gaze, Lu Yu picked up the steamed bun that was wrapped in a plastic bag.
Padophilis's dead eyes stared at the steamed buns, and the more she talked, the hungrier she became.
"Well, big brother, I've been hungry for a day, look at how small you are, I don't think you can eat two of them, why don't you share one of the steamed buns with me?"
Steamed bread.
A very common food in Dusk Street, the selling price is now one dollar for two.
In terms of value, this thing wasn't expensive, but not being expensive didn't mean that Lu Yu could give it away at will.
Lu Yu's adoptive father had said that every bit of food in Dusk Street was precious.
Lu Yu shook his head, "No way, this is my food for tomorrow, I won't share it with you!"
Lu Yu's tone was resolute.
"Eh? What's wrong with that!"
Hearing Lu Yu answer himself like this, Padophilis' face was filled with disappointment.
"Big brother, can you share half of it with me, I'm really hungry, just half, please big brother!"
Padophilis said and walked to Lu Yu's front, she put her hands together to make a pleading look, she was really hungry.
Seeing Padophilis' pitiful appearance, the young Lu Yu was also slightly moved with compassion.
Why don't we share one with her?
But ... His adoptive father had said not to just hand out things to strangers.
"Big brother! Big brother! I see that you're a strange face, you should have just come to this area, right? How about this, as long as you share a steamed bun with me, I'll give you detailed information about this area, don't look at me like this, I'm a jack of all trades!"
Exchanging steamed buns for information? That didn't sound too bad.
A steamed bun in exchange for a piece of intelligence was quite reasonable.
Lu Yu slowly nodded.
"It's okay."
Seeing Lu Yu agree, Padophilis showed a happy face.
"Thank you, big brother!"
Lu Yu took out a steamed bun from the plastic bag and handed it to Padophilis.
Lu Yu: "Go ahead, information."
Receiving the large white steamed bun, Padophilis hurriedly nibbled on it.
Padophilis: "!!!!"
This steamed bun is, sweet eh? Not that kind of inferior steamed bun, but the kind of high-end stuff sold on the street for a dollar for two?
How long has it been since I've eaten this kind of good stuff myself?
This big brother is a good person!
"Uh, wooooooo."
After nibbling on the steamed buns in three or two bites, Padophilis patted her stomach, her hunger was finally gone, and it was rare for her to have a full meal.
"Then I'll start with myself."
"Name if I've just said it, Padophilis, nine years old, lives in a short house not far from here ..."
