The Little King Next Door

Even if you go to some places during the day, you will still feel creepy and don't want to step in.

This is the cabin in front of the two of them.

The cabin was not very dilapidated, the surrounding weeds and moss on the house seemed to have been removed, and the roof was intact.Even the doors that were open to Wang Ye last night were all boarded up to the door frame, and the windows were also boarded up, as if to prevent something from coming out.

"Little Yezi!" A sturdy young man suddenly appeared from behind the wooden house.

"Lie Cang?" Wang Ye was surprised: "You didn't go with the boat?"

"I'm already fourteen, so I can leave in the second batch." Lie Cang said proudly.

"Why are you here?"

Out of the villagers' fear of the parasites, after the mercenary guild asked everyone to pack their luggage, even if it wasn't their turn to board the first batch of people, they all gathered at the pier, intending to board there and wait for the ship to return.

Thanksgiving Village has almost become an empty village, not even a local dog can be seen.

Speaking of dogs, there are dogs on this island. It is said that they were brought by the guards and used to patrol and guard the prison at first.Dogs are also more able to give birth. In a few years, there are many dogs on the island, and many of them are raised in Thanksgiving Village.

But I don’t know which year, the dogs in the village, including the prison, began to disappear continuously. Up to now, there are almost no live dogs running outside, and the barking of dogs that is most commonly heard in the village is not heard.

Lie Cang was silent for a while, then asked, "What are you doing here?"

Seeing Lie Cang's expression, Wang Ye's heart moved, and he guessed: Could this wooden house be Lie Cang's opportunity?Lie Cang's chance was not met after escaping from the prisoner's island, but on this island?

This can also explain why Lie Cang finally escaped from the prisoner island that was almost occupied by the parasites.

Wang Ye rolled his eyes and said directly: "When I passed by here last night, the door of this wooden house opened. I didn't go in, and I heard a sigh."

Lei Mu looked sideways, Wang Ye didn't tell him about these things before.

There was a strange look on Lie Cang's face, but it was not surprise, but a reassuring and trusting expression of "so you also met".

Lie Cang even laughed: "I was just thinking that you two saved so many people in our village, how could even Grandpa not say anything, so he has already looked for you."

"Grandpa Lian?"

"Well, Grandpa Lian is the owner of this wooden house." Lie Cang nodded and waved to the two of them: "Since Grandpa Lian invited you, come with me."

The two followed behind Lie Cang for no reason.

Lie Cang walked around to the back of the house, brushed aside the grass, picked up the wooden board at the entrance of the cellar, and walked down first by himself.

Lei Mu and Wang Ye looked at each other, and they also followed.

The cellar was unexpectedly clean, and the living utensils and beds inside were fully equipped, just like a residence that people often live in.

Lie Cang stretched out his hand like a master and introduced: "This is my home. After my mother disappeared, even Grandpa let me live here."

"That Grandpa Lian is still alive?"

Lie Cang lit the oil lamp, held the oil lamp in one hand, pressed on a small door with the other, and shook his head: "Grandpa Lian passed away very early. Don't be afraid, I was also very scared at the beginning, but after getting in touch with Grandpa Lian, you will You will know that Grandpa Lian is a good man, and he has been trying to protect the villagers on this island."

Lie Cang pushed open the small door, bent down and got in.

The two had no choice but to keep up.

After the small door is a narrow passage going up, and there is a door above it, which opens into the cabin.

The two came up and entered the cabin, and at first sight they saw a big hole in the ground in the middle of the cabin.

The shape of the hole is particularly like a human mouth, which looks creepy.

Lie Cang suddenly let out a hey laugh: "It turns out that the crack is not like this. I made it slowly. Everyone was scared when they saw it."

Wang Ye and Lei Mu: "..."

Wang Ye: I didn't expect you to be so strong!

Lie Cang pointed to the gap: "There are only two ways to find the correct entrance, one is to get the invitation of Grandpa Lian, and the other is to get my invitation to come in from the cellar. Otherwise, the person who comes in will see The rift, too, would fall somewhere else, and it wouldn't reach Grandpa Lien."

Wang Ye: Is this a jump from the animal world to the weird event channel?Is the next stop into science?

Lei Mu held Wang Ye to prevent him from approaching the gap, and said to the young Lie Cang in a cold tone: "What do you mean by bringing us here? Do you know that we are coming?"

Lie Cang was wronged: "Obviously you found this place first, and you said that Grandpa Lian invited you and you saved the villagers, so I want to take you to see Grandpa Lian. If you don't want to go, then forget it."

Thinking of Lie Cang's jealous temperament in his previous life, Wang Ye decided to give this young man a little more trust: "Can you tell us about that Grandpa Lian?"

Lie Cang has a stronger affection for Wang Ye, and he claims to be the leader of all the children in the village, and he has a kind of caring mentality for all the children younger than him. Seeing Wang Ye talking to him, his expression eased a little, and he simply said hello. Sitting down, put down the oil lamp and said, "Okay."

Lei Mu found a long wooden bench that hadn't decayed in the wooden house, and sat down with Wang Ye.

Lie Cang is not a child who is good at telling stories, and he often loses things when he speaks. He needs to ask Wang Ye and Lei Mu before he remembers to add a sentence or two.

After Lie Cang's narration, Wang Ye pieced together an outline of Grandpa Lian's story.

This Grandpa Lian's original name was Lian Sheng. He was a guard. After five years on duty, he had the opportunity to leave the prisoner island, but because he fell in love with a female prisoner who had not yet served her sentence, he was worried about her, so he stayed on the island. down.

At that time, there were no villages on the island, and some prisoners who had been released after serving their sentences and did not want to leave built simple houses on the island to live in.When Lian Sheng was still very young, he also built a house on the island, which was this log cabin.

At that time, the management of Prisoner Island was very chaotic. In Lian Sheng's words, the warden at that time was a villain who was more vicious than the most vicious prisoner.

At that time, the life of female prisoners was very miserable, and the life of male prisoners was not much better.

The warden at that time liked to watch people fight, and often organized martial arts competitions among prisoners in the prison.

At that time, the warden was still working on self-government in the prison, that is, the guards didn't care about their affairs at all, and the prisons were all managed by the prisoners themselves, and whoever was the most powerful would be the boss.

And whoever contributes more to the warden will get food and other important materials.

In order to obtain food and to suppress other prisoners for a long time, those prisoners who are the bosses will continue to honor the warden. They have no money or anything, so they try their best to oppress other prisoners.The other prisoners bullied the weaker ones, and the whole prison was thicker than a jungle.

Prisoners who have money outside and are willing to pay at home are okay. Those prisoners who have no money at home or whose family members are unwilling to give money, if they don’t want to live at the bottom, they can only squeeze other prisoners desperately, trying to make money to honor the upper class. of prisoners.

Many prisoners died of unbearable torture...

One can imagine how terrifying such a prison is.

The young Lian Sheng really couldn't stand it anymore, so he secretly linked up with other guards who also couldn't see it, and wanted to jointly sue the warden, so that another warden could come over.

In the end, someone betrayed Lian Sheng. When the warden found out, he took Lian Sheng into prison, made him fight with the prisoners, and said that he would let him go if he survived.In fact, the warden had no intention of letting him go at all.

Lian Sheng was unwilling to fight, and he also called on the prisoners and guards to fight against the warden, saying that there is strength in numbers, as long as everyone resists together, the warden will not dare to do anything, and everyone's life will be better. Live like a beast that deserves food.

Lian Sheng also told the guards that one must have a conscience, and asked them if they could sleep peacefully at night, would they really want to be with such a warden?

In fact, except for a few prisoners, who would want to live such a life?

The prisoners began to riot.

The guards felt uncomfortable when they saw Lian Sheng being arrested. It wasn't because of their awakened conscience, but because the warden caught Lian Sheng today and threw him into the arena at will, so would it be their turn tomorrow?

The warden was furious and ordered Lian Sheng's lover to be arrested from the women's prison camp, and in front of Lian Sheng, the female prisoner was tortured to death.I kept asking Lian Sheng if he regretted offending him.

The worst thing was that when the female prisoner died, she was eight months pregnant and was about to give birth.

Finally, the warden cut open the female prisoner's stomach, took out Lian Sheng's child, and threw it to the dogs to eat on the spot.

Lian Sheng went crazy when the warden abused his lover, and when he saw his lover and unborn child die tragically, Lian Sheng didn't want to live anymore.He hated the warden, hated the person who betrayed him, and hated himself even more.

Lian Sheng beat the first prisoner, but the warden did not keep his promise to release him, but let other prisoners go in and continue to fight Lian Sheng.

Liansheng's strength is good, but he can't help the wheel battle.

After five consecutive fights, Lian Sheng was beaten to death.

The warden also felt that it was unlucky, so he asked people to drag Lian Sheng's body and the body of the female prisoner to the dogs, and ordered other guards to watch.

The warden wanted to use this trick to make an example of others, so that other guards would not dare not listen to him.

But not all guards have no conscience, they are just afraid of the authority of the warden and dare not resist him.

When they saw their former colleague Lian Sheng die so horribly, without even keeping the child who was about to be born, their fear of the warden turned sour and they became full of hatred.

Three days later, in the middle of the night, the warden's screams suddenly sounded in the warden's villa.

The warden escaped from his villa, shouting that there was a ghost, and shouting Lian Sheng's name.

The warden ran away all the way, trying to run into the guard's dormitory area, while calling for help.

There were many guards who heard the warden calling for help that night, but the guards who wanted to go out to save others were stopped by other guards.

The warden died that night. He died in a very strange and miserable manner. His stomach was disembowelled, his body was covered with wounds, and all his bones were broken.

The guards who saw the death of the warden from the beginning to the end kept it secret.

The guard who once betrayed Liansheng went crazy. He wanted to seize the boat and escape, but was stung to death by a poisonous jellyfish when he jumped into the sea to push the boat.

The guards who used to do evil things with the warden also died one after another. They wanted to escape, but they couldn't leave the guard's dormitory and the prison area.

At that time, no one dared to live in the guard's dormitory.

Afterwards, the rest of the guards fabricated the false news that the warden and some of his subordinates went fishing to relax and never returned after encountering a storm. Please send the warden again.

The higher-ups sent someone to check the situation, but the nobleman who was sent was disgusted with Prisoner Island so much that he didn't even get off the boat when he arrived, so he asked the manager Shangdao to ask casually, and took the evidence prepared by the guards, I went back.

After that, a new warden and new guards came, and most of the original guards left, only a few remained.

In this way, year after year passed, new wardens came and went, and Lian Sheng became Grandpa Lian in the legend. Not many people knew what happened to him back then, but the wooden house he used to live in has always been there. No one dared to occupy it, and the wooden house was not inhabited for so long, yet it did not collapse.

"Grandpa Lian stayed on the island to protect the innocent after he killed the vicious warden. He said that this was his punishment for himself. If he couldn't protect his wife and children, he would punish them if he didn't do everything well. My soul cannot rest in peace." Lie Cang sighed.

"Does he regret dealing with that warden?" Wang Ye asked suddenly.

Lie Cang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head vigorously: "Of course not! Even Grandpa said he didn't regret it, he said that someone must take the lead in this matter, if no one takes the lead, then no one dares to do it. He only hates that he didn't do it secretly enough He hated himself for not protecting his lover first, and hated himself for not thinking comprehensively. But he doesn't regret dealing with the warden."

"If you meet such a vicious person in the future, will you do the same thing as Grandpa Lian?" Wang Ye asked again.

"Of course!" Lie Cang puffed up his chest, "The strong must protect the weak. This is the meaning of the existence of the strong. The strong are not used to oppress others. The meaning of the strong is to protect and save. Aren't you the same?"

Wang Ye could see that Grandpa Lian's ideas had a profound influence on Lie Cang.Wang Ye is not such an upright person, but he appreciates people with this kind of concept.If nothing happened to Prisoner Island in his previous life, Lie Cang would have grown into a great man who stood upright and became the protector of countless people.

Lei Mu's eyes on Lie Cang softened a lot, and his tone became gentle: "Do you know why that Grandpa Lian is looking for Xiao Yezi?"

Lie Cang exhaled and guessed: "Maybe it has something to do with the parasites? Even grandpa knows a lot about this island, but he won't tell me everything. He said I'm too young, and he can't communicate with me often, saying Humans and ghosts cannot stay together for long."

"Is Grandpa Lian teaching you martial arts?" Wang Ye asked.

Lie Cang blinked, and this big boy who didn't know much just opened his mouth and said, "How do you know?"

Wang Ye: Very good, Lie Cang's opportunity is indeed on this island.But that Grandpa Lian has such a great ability to train an ordinary boy into Wu Zong?Or the 30-year-old Wu Zong?Or is it that Grandpa Lian is just laying the foundation for Lie Cang, and Lie Cang's opportunity hasn't arrived yet?

Wang Ye was just curious, and didn't mean to snatch Lie Cang's opportunity. He already had the power of cause and effect and the insect nest, which was enough.

"Are you still going to see Grandpa Lian?" Lie Cang asked.

Wang Ye looked at Lei Mu and said to him, "I want to go and see."

Lei Mu nodded: "Then go."

Lie Cang supported the edge of the pit with one hand, "Just jump in." After speaking, he fell into the pit.

Wang Ye and Lei Mu also jumped into the pit.

Wang Ye kept an eye out, he put a [karma cycle] protective cover on both Lei Mu and himself.

The process of falling feels very long, but it is actually very short.

The dust splashed, and Wang Ye felt something soft under his feet. He touched it with his hand, and it was slippery and a little tough.

Lei Mu reached out and pulled Wang Ye up.

"Are you all right? It's safe here." Lie Cang was obviously used to this method of landing. He landed very smoothly, and the oil lamp he was holding was still in good condition.

Lie Cang took out the fire pocket, blew on it, and re-lit the oil lamp.

Wang Ye felt that the light from the oil lamp was too dim, so he took out two miner's lamps, and he and Lei Mu each put them on, and put them on their wrists.

Lie Cang was very curious about the miner's lamp, and stared at it for a long time. He seemed to want one very much, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

Wang Ye pretended not to see it.

Wang Ye looked at the soft thing again, went up to touch it, guessed in his heart and at the same time cast the appraisal technique.

Sure enough, it is the weathering of asbestos ore.

After these ores are weathered or hydrated, this kind of silky fibrous tissue that feels softer is left behind.This fibrous tissue is the raw material for weaving asbestos cloth.

Asbestos cloth is a good thing. It was called Huo Huan cloth in ancient times. It can prevent fire, and if it is dirty, it can be burned in the fire to make it clean again.

However, the powder produced during the processing of asbestos can easily cause severe pneumoconiosis and even cause cancer, so it is not suitable to be used as a commercial crop.

Fortunately, he put a karmic loop protection shield on Lei Mu and himself.

Wang Ye reminded Lie Cang: "In the future, you'd better come here less often, and cover your face if you come. The dust raised here cannot be removed by the body if inhaled, and it will remain in the lungs, leading to illness or even death."

Lie Cang opened his mouth wide, and quickly covered it again.

Lei Mu said softly: "This is a group of caves."

Wang Ye also saw that this place should be part of the cave group, with plenty of water, and the wind here is very strong, like the aisle wind.

Lie Cang originally had to cover the oil lamp with his hand to prevent it from being blown out.Now there are two miner's lamps for lighting, so he extinguished the oil lamps.

"Follow me, this way." Lie Cang walked ahead and led the way.

Wang Ye suddenly opened his eyes wide. Just now, he seemed to see a shadow behind Lie Cang?

"You're here." A faint voice sounded in Wang Ye's ear.

Wang Ye quickly grasped Lei Mu's hand and stuck it to his side, saying in horror, "Mumu, the ghost is here."

Lei Mu looked at him amusedly, the boy was obviously smiling in his heart.
