Chapter 28 The Desperados
"I don't understand what you're talking about."

This was the first time Shen Yuexi heard this old man speak in these days, but what he said made her unable to understand it for a while.

"I just can't bear to see a little girl like you commit suicide, so I want you to carefully discern the words of the people around you."

The old man was in his seventies or eighties, with a stooped figure, and his face was full of folds left by the years. His cloudy old eyes were fixed on Shen Yuexi, and he did not agree with Shen Yuexi's death wish.

"I... am just a superfluous person. Sometimes I feel that maybe I shouldn't have been born in this world."

Thinking of her parents, brother's disgust towards her, and everything her sister Yuerong had done, Shen Yuexi's brows and eyes were stained with depression and loneliness.

"There are so many things in this world that should or should not be done. It just depends on how you think."

The old man shook his head, his face showing some signs of seeing through the vicissitudes of life.

Shen Yuexi's eyes were still a little dazed, and she pinched the corner of her clothes uneasily, her heart in a mess.

The old man was always silent in the past, but this time he didn't say too much nonsense. He just looked at Shen Yuexi with a peaceful and calm look.

"My child, you only have one life. Are you sure you want to commit suicide and give up yourself for a trivial matter?"

"If you can't give the answer right away, I think you should think about it again, what do you think?"

Xiao Yuexi lowered her eyebrows, the confusion in her eyes gradually dissipated, and there was a touch of determination.

With the old man's comfort, Shen Yuexi finally gave up the idea of ​​committing suicide.

She smiled and said, "Thank you, old man!"

"I figured it out. Life is so precious and I won't let myself die so easily."

It's like saying it to the elderly, but also like saying it to yourself.

Shen Yuexi secretly clenched her fists.

Seeing that she had given up the idea of ​​committing suicide, the old man fell silent again, leaned against the corner of the cell and closed his eyes to fall asleep.

Shen Yuexi threw away the poison and held a few steamed buns in her arms.

She glanced sideways at the old man's thin face, stood up, walked to his side, and handed two of them over, "Old man, here you go."

The old man did not open his eyes, but rejected Shen Yuexi's kindness in a hoarse voice: "People like me who are half buried in the soil are different from you young people. You can keep it for yourself."

The other party's words of rejection were understated, but his attitude was firm.

Shen Yuexi was a little depressed. She didn't know how to thank this old man.

She stood up, walked to the child who was sick before, and put the steamed bun into his hand. "You are still so young. It is the time when you are growing. Don't be hungry."

In the prison, such minor illnesses usually do not attract the attention of the jailers, and the children can only resist.

But even eating enough is a problem on weekdays, so how can we expect him to recover from his illness on his own? He should always eat enough first.

The child grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, devouring it as if he hadn't eaten anything good for hundreds of years.

Shen Yuexi was still feeling sad about this scene, when a rough voice suddenly came to her ears: "Hey, little girl, I gave you some food for these people, why don't you give me some food?"

Shen Yuexi turned around subconsciously and saw a bald man in the cell. He had several criss-cross scars on his head and face. He gave people a very unpleasant feeling, and his cold and cruel eyes made people shudder. .

No matter how mature Shen Yuexi was, she was still only a half-grown child. When she first met such a ferocious bald man, she couldn't help but tremble and took a step back to distance herself from this man.

Shen Yuexi was impressed by this bald man.

This man was a well-known gangster in the town. During a provocation, he got several lives on his hands and was sent to jail.He was restless even in prison and bullied the old, weak, sick and disabled in the prison from time to time.

As long as no one is killed, the jailer basically turns a blind eye.

When Shen Yuexi first came here, she saw this man bullying the elderly and taking away their food.

There are thousands of thoughts, but the reality is only a blink of an eye.

Shen Yuexi came to her senses and distributed the remaining steamed buns to the others, ignoring the bald man and his lackluster followers.

"Are you deaf?"

The bald man had never been ignored like this before, and he suddenly became furious and looked at Shen Yuexi pitifully.

Even though Shen Yuexi personally pushed Mr. Li off the cliff and fell to his death, compared with the bald man in front of him, he was the real desperado.

The ferocity in the bald man's eyes was as real as it could be, swallowing people up and making breathing seem to become difficult.

The atmosphere in the entire cell became heavy, as if thick seawater was spreading continuously, making people almost breathless.

There was a peacemaker who was afraid of causing trouble and stepped in to calm the atmosphere.

"Brother, don't worry about it like a child. Isn't it just a few steamed buns? It's not like we can't eat. Later, you can call a boy outside and we can bring you big fish and meat, right?"

The muscles on the bald man's face twitched a few times, and the look he stared at Shen Yuexi was still frightening.

After a long time, Shen Yuexi felt that her body was almost stiff. The bald man finally turned back to his place and sat down cross-legged. His sinister eyes were cast in Shen Yuexi's direction from time to time.

The people outside the light curtain are all human beings. They know how to observe words and emotions better than Shen Yuexi, who was not deeply involved in the world at that time.

"Damn it, the way this bald man looks in his eyes, I'm afraid he has a grudge against Shen Yuexi."

"I've seen many people like this, and they are all vengeful ones. Shen Yuexi shouldn't offend Baldhead because of that old man."

"Without this old man's persuasion, Shen Yuexi would have committed suicide by now. Why can't she avenge him?"

"It's like picking sesame seeds and losing the watermelon. Just endure the calm for a while and let it pass."

The monks each had their own opinions on this, and they were all red-faced and thick-necked.

But in the end, they were all just worried that the bald man would cause trouble to Shen Yuexi because of Shen Yuexi's refusal to share the buns with him.

Within two days, Shen Yuerong learned that Shen Yuexi had not committed suicide by taking poison.

"This Shen Yuexi is still alive. It's really an eyesore. If one day he surrenders me, wouldn't it be the end of me?"

Shen Yuerong curled her lips unhappily, "Even if others won't believe her nonsense, it would be bad if it ruins my reputation!"

After rolling her eyes a few times, Shen Yuerong clapped her hands and made a decision.

"Since she can't do this on her own, I will show mercy and help her~"

Soon, everyone knew how "showing great mercy" Shen Yuerong was.

Shen Yuerong stole money from her family to buy steamed buns again, but this time, Shen Yuerong put rat poison directly into the steamed buns. As long as Shen Yuexi ate the steamed buns, she would definitely die.

The monk who witnessed all this was extremely shocked: "She can even do such cruel things!"
