When Pyrrhus saw Farr and the two, his emotions broke down instantly. He knelt down in front of Farr and cried hoarsely: "Farr, please, please, save the children, save them."

Far hurriedly knelt down to help him up, but Pyrrhus avoided Far's support and kept kowtowing: "Please, please. All the children in the village have been taken away. I can think of nothing." Only you, only you can save them, please save them."

Little Pim on the side also cried anxiously: "What happened? Uncle Pylos."

"Dead, all dead. The elderly are all dead, and the children are all taken away."

This news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Farr stunned.

"Where's my grandpa? Where's my grandpa?" Little Pim grabbed Pylos' arm tightly.

"Little Pym..." Pyrrhus choked and was speechless.

......

Half a day ago.

Because they were traveling by light vehicle when going back, and there were ox-carts and donkey-carts to travel, Uncle Pyrrhus and his party returned to the village without any danger at noon.

But when I arrived in the village, I felt a strange atmosphere. The village was really too quiet.Although there are few people in their village, it is only noon, so there are probably children playing around.

Pyrrhus immediately noticed something was wrong and hurriedly checked around, only to find that the village was not as messy as he imagined, but there was no one in the house or in the hole.

What the hell happened?

Until they came to the port and saw corpses all over the ground, those were the corpses of villagers.

Everyone ran to the pile of corpses like crazy, hugging the remains of their relatives, breaking down and crying.

Pimus felt like the world was spinning, and the whole world seemed so unreal.The scene before him was like the devil telling him that his most cherished village was gone and everything was gone.

Pyrrhus wanted to cry, but found that he couldn't cry. He made a "hiccup~uh~" sound unconsciously.

"Village Chief, Mr. Di Luo is still alive."

The shouts of others brought Pyrrhus back to his senses. He hurried forward and hugged Mr. Dilo. Mr. Dilo's eyes were distracted and his mouth was slightly opening and closing, wanting to say something.

"Children... children... were taken... they said... slaves... auctioned..."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Di Luo breathed his last.

"Yes, there are children, children." After scanning for a week, Pylos did not see a child's body.

This rekindled hope in his newly shattered life, "Far, Far! He is the only one who can help us."

Pylos ignored the fact that he was covered in blood and turned around and rushed towards the city of Sk.

----

When the three Farrs returned to the village, the sun had already set for a long time.

The bodies had been put away by others, and the blood stains on everyone's body had been cleaned away.

Everyone stood in front of the body and mourned silently.

These people were standing in front of him alive yesterday morning to plead for Uncle Pyrrhus, but today they were separated from each other.

Far's heart was filled with rage, and he knew that this was definitely not a simple pirate invasion.

"If it was a pirate invasion, the villagers would not be able to gather in such a concentrated manner at the port, and the streets and houses would not be so clean."

"Every corpse had its thumb cut off, just like Uncle Pyrrhus."

"The one I saw this morning, the news that the patrol team was killed."

"The newspaper mentioned the auction that will be held in seven days. Is there any connection with the auction that Mr. Di Luo mentioned before he died?"

......

All the clues gradually connected in Far's mind.

"The pirates I killed the day before yesterday were disguised as the King's Army. After they lost contact, the country quickly blamed the rebels. Doing so would not only worsen the image of the rebels in the hearts of civilians, but also establish the King's Army. The image of bravery and fearlessness.”

"Although it was said to be the work of the rebels, the real cause would definitely be investigated by the authorities, so the royal army came here and discovered that this was the place where the patrol team died."

"Then using the identity of the king's army, the villagers were gathered together and brutally killed."

"The purpose of cutting off the thumbs is to gain military merit. The children's fingers are too different. It's better to take them all away and sell them. Auction is definitely a good place."

Farr didn't know if his guess was completely correct, but it was probably close to ten.

Farr told Uncle Pyrrhus his guess, who had already calmed down a lot.

Pyrrhus thought for a long time, then managed to gather his strength and said, "Your guess should be correct."

In addition to anger, Farr also felt deep self-blame.

Farr took out a pen and paper and wrote: "Uncle Pyrrhus, do you resent me? If I had not rescued Uncle Dillo that night, or I had just driven those pirates away, maybe this would not have happened."

Uncle Pylos did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, handed one to Farr and said, "Do you want to smoke?"

Farr shook his head.

Pylos put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled a stream of white smoke.

"I don't smoke either. I've quit smoking for many years. I bought this before I went to the city. My employer likes it."

Farr didn't know how to answer the question.

Pylos continued: "At first I thought that spending all my money to bribe the officer would keep our family safe. He also promised me. I could only choose to believe him because I had no other choice."

"You also know what happened later. I was miserably deceived."

"Judging from the results, do you think I did something wrong at that time?"

Before Farr could respond, Uncle Pylos answered himself: "It's wrong. It's very wrong, isn't it? The money has been spent, and the family has not been saved."

"If I had known this would happen, do you think I would still do this?"

Farr was asked, probably not!The family is destined to be unable to save their money, but at least they can save their money.Far wanted to answer like this, but he felt that it would be very uncomfortable to answer like this.

Uncle Pylos took a deep drag on his cigarette and looked up at the stars in the sky, his eyes a little blurry: "Yes, I will definitely do it. Protecting my family is my only choice, and I will not make other choices. What if I succeed?"

"The same goes for you, Farr. Saving Mr. Dillo should have been the only choice in your mind at that time, and you wouldn't have made any other choice."

"It is too one-sided to deny past decisions based on the results. Did I do something wrong by bribing the officer to save my family? Did you do something wrong by saving Mr. Dilo from those beasts?"

"We are all right. What is wrong is this country and this world. So, why should I resent you? They, these dead villagers, will not resent you."

"On the contrary, I will be grateful to you for agreeing to help us rescue the children."

At this time, Farr suddenly felt that Uncle Pyrrhus's bald head shone above the stars in the sky.

----

After all the bodies were buried, it was already getting light.

Little Pim cried all night in front of his grandfather's grave. When he learned that Farr and Pyrrhus were going to the Ice Cream City, he firmly asked Farr to take him with him, and he also wanted to do his part.

Farben wanted to refuse him with the offer of 10 beli, but Uncle Pylos persuaded him: "Take him with you, otherwise he will definitely run over by himself. Even if he has no money, he will try his best to sneak in."

Of course, Uncle Pyrrhus knew little Pym better. He said that little Pym could probably do it. Little Pym was originally a child with independent opinions, and keeping him with him would at least ensure his safety.

So Farr, Little Pim and Pylos set out on their way to the Ice Cream City.Others stayed because of health reasons.

The three of them first went to Sk City and bought a carriage for transportation. At the speed of the carriage, they could reach the Ice Cream City in about five days, so they had plenty of time.

In the carriage, little Pim had fallen asleep quietly, Uncle Pyrrhus was driving the carriage, and Farr was lying on his back, looking at the roof of the carriage in trance.

There is a lack of supplies in the Skok city area, and it is located on the edge of the country with a sparse population. It is not a battleground for military strategists, so there have been almost no wars.

There was a desolate plain outside the city of Sk. It took a whole day to cross this plain. After crossing the plain, Farr really felt that the country was going through war.

What came into view was a piece of scorched earth, with at least fifty or sixty corpses lying on the ground. The smell of gunpowder smoke was strong, and the blood had not yet solidified.

Farr and Pyrrhus got out of the car to check, and asked little Pym to stay in the car and not come out.

After a long time, Pylos spoke: "It's people from the royal army and the rebel army. It seems that they had a small battle here. Judging from the direction of the corpses falling, the king's army should have the advantage and the rebel army has the disadvantage."

Farr looked at the corpses carefully. The rebels' clothes were not uniform, and they basically fell in one direction. The fatal injuries were also on the back, but there were very few corpses of the king's army.

"Let's get out of here quickly. The rebel army's thumb is still there, which proves that the king's army will definitely come back."

Far nodded, and Pyrrhus got back into the carriage and drove away.

As soon as Farr returned to the car, he saw little Pim huddled in a ball and shivering.

Fal gestured: "Did you see it?"

Little Pim nodded.

"Are you scared?"

"I'm... not afraid!" Little Pim tried hard to control himself, but he still couldn't stop trembling.

This kind of scene is still too bloody for an 11-year-old child. Although little Pim has seen more corpses than this, those are the corpses of villagers, and the senses are completely different.

Farr rubbed little Pim's head and gestured: "It's okay, I'm here."

"Ok!"

Little Pim gradually calmed down.

----

On this day, Farr was driving, and Uncle Pyrrhus and Little Pym were resting in the car.

It's already the third day, and there are only three days left before the auction starts. The three of them are getting closer to the Ice Cream City, and they are expected to arrive the day after tomorrow.

As Farr and his party got closer and closer to the Ice Cream City, they saw more and more tragic scenes, including abandoned villages, hungry refugees, and children whose bodies were exposed in the wilderness.

This gave the three of them an absurd feeling. Are they really heading towards the most prosperous capital of the Sorbey Kingdom?

This is the suffering of the common people, the orgy of hyenas and vultures.

Farr was driving the car, looking up at the vast sky, but thinking about the tragic situation he had seen in the past few days, he murmured: "What can I do?"

"Sister, is this a dream?"

Suddenly, a faint cry came into Far's ears, "Baby?"

Far immediately released his sense of knowledge and drove in the direction of perception. After a while, he came to the source of the sound and saw a little girl with pink hair, sitting on a ruins and crying.

Many mutilated corpses can be seen in the ruins. It seems that the village has also suffered looting and killing.

King's Army or Rebel Army?

Farr didn't have time to think too much, parked the carriage, walked quickly to the little girl, and picked her up.He looked carefully to see if there were any injuries.

The little girl also looked at Farr curiously with her big eyes and stopped crying.

The little girl is about one or two years old. Her clothes are covered with dust and her little face is dirty. She looks like a little tabby cat with a chubby face, which is really cute.There were only a few bruises on his body, nothing serious.

The little girl suddenly touched Far's face with her small black hands and chuckled: "Tabby cat, big tabby cat."

This made Fal dumbfounded. Are you so ignorant of life?

At this time, little Pim got out of the carriage in a daze and was about to pee. He saw Far holding a little girl and asked vaguely: "Brother Far, when did you have an extra daughter?"

Farr:  ̄□ ̄||

What is this little bastard talking about in a daze?

boom!

A burst of chestnuts made little Pim wake up instantly: ┭┮﹏┭┮

Farr looked at his right hand. Is it so satisfying to give someone a blow?No wonder my brother-in-law always likes to beat himself up like this.

Farr slightly washed the little girl's face and limbs with drinking water, and a clean little guy appeared.

The little girl didn't care about life and didn't cry. Her cute appearance instantly won Uncle Pyrrhus's heart, and he wished he could hold her in his hands all the time.

But the little girl only needed Far to hold her, and as soon as Pyrrhus or Pym hugged her, she began to struggle and throw herself in the direction of Far. This may be because Far appeared when she was most afraid of being alone and gave her a hug. Her unparalleled sense of security.

Farr was also happy to hold the little girl, which reminded him of Ace and Ann. I wonder how they are doing now?

The little girl stayed with Farr until that afternoon.

......

"Wow~Tabby cat! Hungry~hungry~" the little girl cried and fussed.

The tabby cat should refer to Farr, but when had Farr ever brought up a child?

Just as he was about to give the little girl a piece of instant meat, Uncle Pylos scolded him: "Do you have any experience in raising children? This little girl is at most two years old. How can you give her this kind of food?"

"Now, I need something soft and easy to chew."

Pyrrhus said to the little girl with a loving look on his face: "Come here, baby, uncle will feed you."

But in Far's eyes, Uncle Pylos is now just a human trafficker who abducts little girls.

But the little girl took this trick and threw herself into Uncle Pyrrhus's arms.

"Haha, it turns out that I am the one that little girls like the most."

Far curled his lips in disdain, and Little Pim rolled his eyes.

The two of them couldn't bear to see this villain's triumphant face.

But it has to be said that the appearance of the little girl brought a touch of life to the dull atmosphere of the three of them.
