On a hot summer night, the cool breeze blew through the treetops, and the birds on the trees cooed.
In the villages and towns outside the City of Fire, there were only a few scattered houses with lights on.
On the dim street, a few stray cats lay stretched out in the corner.
Heavy footsteps suddenly sounded, causing the stray cat to run into the darkness.
A big man carrying a bag sneakily poked his head out of the alley, looked around, then quickly crossed the street and entered the opposite alley.
Until finally he walked into a house on the edge of the village.
"Squeak~"
The dark basement door was opened, and the big man opened the bag, revealing what was tied up inside. It was a little boy under three years old.
"Woooo..."
Seeing the light again, the little boy instinctively struggled hard.
The big man untied the rope from the little boy's body and picked up a whip.
When the little boy saw this, his face was full of horror, and he cried subconsciously.
The big man showed a sinister smile on his face, swung his whip and hit the little boy hard.
The little boy was rolling back and forth on the ground in pain, crying heartbrokenly.
After beating for a while, the big man looked ferocious, pointed his whip at the little boy and said:
"If you don't shut up, I will continue to beat you until you die."
Hearing this, the little boy bit his lip to prevent any sound from coming out.
The big man nodded with satisfaction and looked around at the numb-looking children hiding in the corner, a warning flashing in his eyes.
Then he opened the basement door and walked out.
"Bang."
The basement fell into darkness again.
The little boy squirmed and huddled up against the wall.
Only in this way can you feel a sense of security.
It was eerily quiet in the basement. The little boy folded his arms and sobbed, with snot and tears flowing down together.
Whimpering softly: "Mom~"
"Bang!"
The basement door was kicked open.
The little boy was trembling with shock and did not dare to make a sound.
The big man raised the whip in his hand, glared at the little boy, and smiled evilly.
"snort!"
"Bang!"
The basement door was closed again.
Now the little boy finally understood why the children inside were silent.
A person can only huddle into a ball and dare not make a sound.
Above the basement, a group of big men were sitting around a round table.
The table is covered with banknotes.
One of the people wearing ninja costumes with a ninja bag hanging on his waist was obviously the leader here. He asked the big man coming out of the basement:
"Where did this stuff come from?"
The big man changed his previous fierceness and showed a flattering smile: "The best product from the Kingdom of Water is somewhat related to the Snow Clan."
The leader's eyes lit up and he said: "His~ Okay, if the blood inheritance limit of the Snow Clan is awakened, it will be valuable."
The big man didn't expect that his boast was so unrealistic and could still scare the boss.
He immediately coughed twice with an embarrassed look on his face and explained:
"It's not easy to wake up. This kid has been a commoner for several generations."
The leader chuckled lightly, waved his hand and said:
"It doesn't matter if you haven't awakened. If you can increase the price, it's a good product. Those powerful people like this kind of goods with a bit of ninja blood."
The big man nodded in agreement, then sat down on his seat with a face full of joy, rubbed his hands and said:
"Come on, come on, I haven't played for a long time and my hands are itchy. I'm here to take charge."
Seeing him looking very itchy, the leader curled his lips, pushed the dice cup in front of him and said, "Be careful not to lose your pants."
"If you lose, the worst thing you can do is go on another cargo run and bring back a few more top products."
The big man picked up the dice cup and started shaking it vigorously, shouting excitedly:
"Quick, quick, quick, bet, bet."
A group of accomplices pressed the money one after another.
"I'm big."
"I'm stressed too."
"You all suppress the big one, then I will suppress the small one!"
...
"I suppress the leopard."
The big man put the dice cup on the table and suddenly opened the lid.
Everyone immediately put their heads forward.
"open!"
Everyone looked closely and saw that the three dice in the dice cup were all six.
The big man looked unhappy and said:
"Damn, what a leopard, this is such a bad luck."
Although the other accomplices didn't win any money, they seemed extremely happy to see the big man deflated.
"Pay me quickly, Leopard will pay thirty times."
"What are you in a hurry for? Will I do this to you? Come again!"
"I don't believe it, I'm still young."
"No, I'm going to be tighter this time. Really, I have a premonition."
"Go away, you are just a broom star, I will keep you under control."
...
"I suppress the leopard."
"open!"
"I'll go, it's evil, it's a leopard again."
.......
"open!"
After several rounds in a row, there were three sixes in the dice cup every time.
The big man looked at the person directly opposite him, picked up the dice cup and shook it, and said suspiciously:
"Damn it, why did you get rid of the leopard today? You're not going to get away with it, are you?"
The other person also felt something was wrong, turned his head and looked at the person and said:
"Yeah, I think it's too impossible. Are you..."
"Brother, I may be a little confused. What is your name?"
I saw the man holding the money on the table in front of him and saying with a gentle expression:
"My name is Uchiha Tunan, brother, what is your name?"
"Me, my name is..."
In an instant, everyone was stunned and looked at each other.
Then he suddenly backed away and surrounded Uchiha Tunan.
Clang!
The sword was unsheathed, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The leader calmly shouted to Tu Nan: "Who are you?"
"The current captain of the North City Guard, Uchiha Tunan."
Uchiha Tunan sat on the chair, leaned back, then picked up a banknote and flicked it forward.
The banknote knocked the lid of the dice cup away, revealing the dice inside, which were still three sixes.
"This one doesn't count."
When the leader heard that Uchiha Tunan announced his identity, he narrowed his eyes and said:
“Forget it, it must be calculated.
I wonder, Master Tunan, what's the matter with coming to our place so late at night..."
Uchiha Tunan smiled slightly and said in a consulting tone:
“I’m here this time with a merciless invitation.
I want to take those kids away. "
Hearing this, a trace of murderous intent flashed in the leader's eyes, but he immediately covered it up.
I saw a stiff smile on the corner of the leader's mouth and said:
"Sir, those children are all adopted by our brothers and have feelings."
After saying that, he quickly winked at one of his companions.
When Uchiha Tunan heard this, he frowned, touched his chin, and said thoughtfully:
"In this case, it would indeed be a bit unhuman if I took them away by force."
As soon as Uchiha Tunan said these words, the stiffness on the leader's face softened a lot.
At this time, the companion handed a small box to the leader.
The leader took the box, opened it on the table, and pushed it to Uchiha Tunan.
I saw the leader with a flattering smile on his face and said:
"Sir, this is our filial piety. I hope you will take more care of our brothers in the future."
Uchiha Tunan looked at the piles of banknotes in the box, his eyes lit up and he sat up straight.
He stretched out his hand and stroked the banknotes in the box and said:
"It's a pity that it's so much money."
The smile on the leader's face gradually disappeared, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said: "Sir, what's the pity? Our thoughts are not enough."
Uchiha Tunan shook his head and said:
“I am a greedy person.
I want money, I want people, I also want political achievements. "
"What do you think we should do?"
