Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 11: Snoop
The window is blurred, the water mist and the rough glass material make it difficult to see the situation behind, but the man's eyes can clearly see the real scene behind through these blurs.
It was a boy with a pitchfork in his hand and a cloth bag in his arms, waiting quietly behind the window on the other side.
The boy stared at the street outside the window, his face was calm, there were many wounds on his body, and the bandage on his head was still oozing blood, and the smell of blood came from it.
After a short look, the old knight understood that the child was obviously abused by the family, and now he couldn't bear it, and he wanted to fight desperately with the parent who abused him.
All too common scenario. He can't help shaking his head.
The vagrancy in his more than ten years of wanted career, and the scenes he saw on the northern front line in the past are more tragic than what he sees today, and similar scenes and anti-killing, he also saw in the factory cities on the western coast Been there many times.
This is the epitome of this era, the era he fought against in the past but failed in the end.
Domestic Violence
Children are the future of the empire, how can they be treated like this? Even let them fight alone.
This kind of desperate effort will fail almost 100% of the time. After all, how can a child beat an adult in terms of violence?
If it was him in the past, he would definitely not even think about it, and he would directly take action to teach that scumbag parent a lesson, then took out his own sword, and ordered the local officials or nobles to reflect on themselves and think about their jurisdiction and territory Why does this happen in .
As for this child, he would take it back to the orphanage in the imperial capital, or arrange it into the apprentice camp of his own knight order. After all, a child who has the courage to resist adult violence is worth his time to cultivate.
However, the current self and the present world
The old man shook his head slightly.
Even if he killed the parent who abused the child, the child would not be able to survive in this frontier port by his own strength, especially if he would bear the notoriety of killing blood relatives.
And with his current wanted status, it is impossible to bring a child with him, which would hurt the other party even more.
"Dead game."
The old knight let out a long sigh. He was going to leave, but he still stayed here.
He made up his mind to help the other party secretly when the time comes.
No matter what, he doesn't want to see a child die today. As for the future, let's wait until the future.
Who knows if there will be any miracles?
But.
What happened next was obviously beyond the imagination of the old knight.
As the sun set, a lame man with a gloomy face and a dangling figure returned towards the old house. The boy by the window tightly held the pitchfork and cloth bag in his hand, and then went to the corridor to prepare.
It's time to start. The old knight thought so. Maybe it's time for him to make a move.
But that moment did not come.
"What?!"
Hiding outside the window, the old knight who was planning to make a move was shocked to see the boy of the White People use a sneak attack and sleeping powder to easily bring down the man who was obviously addicted to mushrooms, and then used a skill that was so proficient that he couldn't understand it. It was tied firmly on the table where the fish was divided.
He thought to himself, even if he was not so proficient in his craft, of course he never needed to tie people up, just break off the limbs and remove the joints.
The boy took a drink of water after finishing these things and took a rest.
The next step is to sharpen the knife.
Sharpening the knife is a process of making the knife sharper and making people make up their minds. The old knight can know that the boy, who was relieved by solving the man, calmed down again by sharpening the knife.
He has made up his mind.
The man woke up, he was struggling constantly, and seemed to want to speak, but because of the sackcloth stuffed in his mouth, no matter what he couldn't say a word.
The boy just watched all this indifferently, and then opened his mouth to make the other party even more crazy, and even became so frightened that he lost control, and then he cut out the knife neatly.
"Decisive!"
Watching the boy attack and kill the man. Until this moment, the old knight couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a seedling!"
In the past, he could not help but want the other party to be his knight apprentice. Such a good seed who makes a decisive move is hard to find even among military families and frontier nobles. found one.
But now he is a little worried.
Has the boy thought about what to do after the murder?
It is indeed possible to kill with a moment of passion, courage and wisdom, but it is always difficult to dispose of a corpse, far better than killing a person.
With the boy's physical strength, it is difficult to take the body out of the city and bury it intact. If you want to cut up the body, you must be careful not to leave too many traces and blood—there are many hunters in Harrison Harbor, leaving Too many traces can be easily noticed.
Not to mention, there are no adults in the family. For a seven or eight-year-old boy, it may not be better than being abused every day.
"What would you do?"
The man stood outside the window, holding his breath, half heavy and half expectant, waiting for the boy's next move.
Before waiting for the 'abnormality' to appear along the coast, such an unexpected event was enough to stop him from observing.
However, the scene inside the house once again astonished the old knight.
He opened his eyes wide, and saw that the boy in the room was resting for a period of time, and ignored the corpse that was gradually becoming stiff.
The boy turned around, took out the stored fire from the brazier, lit the fire, poured water into the pot, and took out the dried meat and fish
Awesomely facing the dead man, he started cooking!
Facing a corpse that had just passed away, he could still cook meat in a pot and grill fish on fire, eating with relish.
This kind of psychological quality may not be a big deal to a veteran, but to an eight or nine-year-old boy, it is enough to make people wonder.
"Psyker."
At this moment, the old knight had already seen the dots of fluorescence in those eyes, and he couldn't help clapping his hands: "This quality"
In the boy's eyes, the water-colored pupils were shining with a warm light. It was not the reflection of moonlight, but the light from the inner side of the soul, which is the most representative characteristic of psykers.
This quality is beyond the expression of 'excellence'.
Even in aristocratic families whose parents are both psykers, the fetus in the womb has been stimulated with psychic powers since pregnancy. With such superior family conditions, it is not 100% able to become psykers when they grow up, and the awakening rate does not exceed Thirty percent.
In the final analysis, psychic power requires extremely high willpower. Except for the "chosen ones" who have awakened psychic power at birth, all acquired psychic people have willpower and tenacity above ordinary people. That's the point.
"It is not accidental to be able to resist and kill the parents who abused themselves."
Looking deeply at the boy in the house, the old knight is very interested in what he will do next.
It can be seen that after the boy finished his meal and regained his strength for a while, he began to clean up the scene, tidy up the corpses, open the windows for ventilation, and diffuse the smell of blood.
Immediately afterwards, the boy went to the house, touched the face of his young brother, and fed him porridge.
The old knight heard the boy's murmurs, those words that revealed his firmness and determination to protect his loved ones.
——is a good boy. he thought so.
After setting up his younger brother, the boy with white hair and green eyes dragged the corpse out, while the old man with gray pupils was wearing a navy blue robe, and the two walked in distinct shadows.
The knight quietly followed the boy along the moonlight.
Since he was wanted by the empire more than ten years ago and went into exile in anonymity all the way, he has experienced countless attacks, killings and pursuits, but it is the first time he has tracked down a child under ten years old.
