Chapter 385: Battle of wits
There was a crunching sound of snow outside, followed by knocks on the door and muffled voices.
"Fatty, open the door, it's me."
"Oh my god, who is lying here?"
"You fat bitch, why are you sleeping here?"
Following the sound of a fall with a "thump", the thin cripple's curse was heard.
The fat cripple opened the door.
Fat Kidnapper said, "Cut the grass at its roots and freeze her to death."
The thin cripple laughed creepily in the moonlight. He always said that the fat cripple was not ruthless enough, but today he was finally ruthless.
It is better for Mother Jiang to be dead than alive. After all, the dead cannot speak.
"Why are you so late? Has the letter been delivered?" Fat Knave asked expectantly.
The thin cripple rubbed his hands and exhaled as he said, "It's delivered. I was afraid that the brat would cheat us, so I climbed up the big tree in front of the Nie family's door to observe it. The Nie family's wife was crying and trying to raise money."
"We will make a fortune after tonight. Then we can go to Yangzhou and have a good time." said the thin cripple.
Fatty laughed, and the sound was like a mouse running around in a bellows.
"They are just the other three children. That child cannot be kept." Fatty raised his chin towards Xiaolong.
This mute kid made him feel inexplicably frightened, and he always felt that keeping this kid would be a disaster.
The thin cripple smiled and said, "What harm can a mute do?"
This child is really beautiful. We will have no trouble selling him if we take him to Shengjing.
Anyway, they can't talk, and their eyes are like cheetahs. They have not been trained and have not seen their abilities. When I get the silver, I will take the children away and torture the child in various ways. I don't believe that he will not be honest.
There were so many disobedient girls in Mother Jiang's hands, but they were all eventually disciplined and became obedient.
"He can't talk. No matter how we torture him, he won't make a sound. We tie him up, prick him with needles, burn him with fire, and deprive him of food and water. He will be obedient in two days."
When the thin cripple saw that the fat cripple was hesitant, he gave the fat cripple some advice.
Such a handsome boy represents a lot of money, and he doesn't want the money to fly away.
Fat Guaizi thought about what Thin Guaizi said and felt it made sense, so he decided to keep Xiaolong.
The two men now spoke without avoiding the children at all. When Maner and others heard how the kidnapper tortured people, they were so scared that they trembled.
Xiaolong held Maner's hand calmly. He still maintained his mute character, but his eyes became more and more angry as he looked at the two beggars.
"How dare a mute look at me like that."
Fat Guaizi was irritated by Xiaolong's eyes and went up to grab Xiaolong.
Let’s do it today. Let’s defeat him today.
Xiaolong dodged nimbly and Fatty fell down.
Maner couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Fat Guaizi got angry and embarrassed, and changed his target from catching Xiaolong to catching Maner.
Maner couldn't dodge in time and was about to be caught when Xiaolong hit Fatty hard from behind.
"Ouch."
Fatty hit the wall, bounced back wailing, and sat on Chunwang.
Chunwang was woken up by the sitting, and he was howling all over.
The angry Fat Guaizi slapped Chunwang in the face, and the cloth in Chunwang's mouth was blown out.
Chunwang howled like a pig being slaughtered.
"Shut up right there." The fat cripple stood up and roared, panting.
Chunwang was so scared that he was shaking.
Fat Guaizi was unwilling to accept being defeated by Xiaolong twice in a row, so he picked up a stick from the ground and hit Xiaolong.
"How dare you, you little dumb fool, play tricks on me."
The little dragon ran around the pillar, and Fatty Chase chased it for a while until he was exhausted but still couldn't catch it.
"Thin guy, help me catch him." Fat cripple said to thin cripple angrily.
The thin beggar looked down on the fat beggar, thinking that he couldn't even handle a child, so how could he be his escape partner after the mission was accomplished.
"You can't even handle a mute."
The thin cripple rolled up his sleeves and decided to teach Xiaolong a lesson and also to scare the fat cripple. Now that Jiang's mother was left behind, one of them had to make decisions.
The thin cripple reached out to grab Xiaolong, but for some reason he stepped on a stone and fell flat on his face.
This time, not only Maner laughed, but Yaozu and Duoer also laughed.
Not only did the thin cripple fail to show his prowess in front of the fat cripple, but he lost face and became even more angry.
He stood up and cursed at Xiaolong fiercely: "You little bastard, you little mute, I'll kill you."
Chunwang stared at everything in front of him in amazement.
Maner, Xiaolong, Yaozu and Duoer were all caught by kidnappers just like him.
Chunwang was old and shrewd. He had an idea in his mind and shouted, "He lied to you. He is not dumb."
The fat cripple and the thin cripple looked at Chunwang.
Chunwang shrugged his shoulders and said in a flattering manner: "I am from the same village as them. They really lied to you. His name is Xiaolong, and he is not dumb."
Maner stared at Chunwang angrily and cursed, "You are so mean!"
The fat cripple and the thin cripple understood that Xiaolong was not mute, so the girl who lied to them that Xiaolong was mute was not a fool either.
How true is what these four children say?
Fat Guaizi narrowed his eyes and asked Chunwang, "Are their surnames Nie?"
Chunwang pointed at Xiaolong Maner Yaozu and said, "These three people with the surname Gu are from our village."
He pointed at Duo'er and said, "She is from Heilongtan. Her mother and father are divorced. She lives in Gu's house now."
After hearing this, the two beggars became extremely angry.
They originally thought they had caught a few big fish and were waiting for the Nie family and the officials from Yanguan Town to send them money, but they didn't expect these kids to be deceiving them from the beginning to the end.
The two beggars looked at each other. The humiliation of being fooled around by the kids made them decide not to let the four kids go.
"Idiot." Xiaolong cursed with disdain.
The two were driven crazy by Xiaolong's contempt. They opened their arms and pushed the four children into the corner step by step.
"You catch those two, and I'll catch these two."
The thin cripple pointed at Maner and Xiaolong, and left Duoer and Yaozu to the fat cripple.
Duo'er was so frightened that she held on to Man'er tightly and refused to let go.
Maner was very scared, and she held on, holding the pepper spray tightly in her hand.
The thin cripple stretched out his hand to grab Maner, but suddenly changed his mind and grabbed Duoer. Duoer was frightened and burst into tears.
At this time, Maner sprayed the pepper water in her hand into the eyes of the skinny guy.
"Ouch, ouch." The thin cripple covered his eyes.
Xiaolong took the opportunity to strike Skinny Guy's knee hard, and he fell to the ground wailing.
Before Fatty knew what was happening, Yaozu sprayed the pepper spray in his hand at him.
The next second, the fat cripple and the thin cripple started wailing as well.
Maner picked up the stick that Fatty had dropped and started beating the fat man and the thin man.
The two beggars never expected that they would fall into the hands of four children.
Chunwang was terrified.
Seeing that the two cripples had no chance of turning over, Maner walked up to Chunwang step by step, raised the chili water in her hand and shook it in front of Chunwang's eyes.
"Don't bother, just break his leg."
Xiaolong had disliked Chunwang in the private school for a long time. Today, this guy dared to betray them, so he must accept the price of betrayal.
Chunwang was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
