I'll forge a new destiny

Chapter 45 Life and Death in Xiacheng District

"I remember you."

Charles' eyes showed no emotion or anger, and he stared at the trembling man in front of him.

He is begging for my forgiveness, and it is up to me to decide whether he lives or dies.

Realizing this, Charles thought he would feel happy, or have some other emotions, such as relieving hatred or something.

But he only felt calm, and the time obviously did not pass long. It was short enough that he could still recall the pain in his body when he was being disciplined.

But I've moved on.

Realizing this made Charles very happy.

It is true that the past has never changed, but I can no longer let myself feel tied to it. They are no longer important.

So Charles no longer looked at Quail, but looked at Zhang Xing, and made his own judgment without hesitation: "He is the instructor in charge of corporal punishment. He hits us very hard, but also very skillfully. He will only make us We feel pain, but it doesn’t hurt us much, so he is the one who scares us the most.”

Urine gushed out.

Otherwise, what other reaction could there be? Other than wanting to kill myself, what other reason is there for saying this?
  Quail fell to the ground softly and just looked at Charles, not daring to say a word of explanation.

It might also be because I was trembling all over and was so scared that I couldn't even speak.

"But maybe it's because he's lazy. He's never done any work out of his own preference..." Charles didn't care whether the quail was scared to death, he just made his own judgment. "That is, to discipline us."

Zhang Xing looked at Charles with admiration in his eyes. As a man who always takes revenge, Charles' letting go may be something he will never learn.

It’s not about forcing yourself to let go, it’s about truly not caring.

‘No wonder your fate is so tumultuous. ’

He didn't know what Zhang Xing was thinking, but Charles was very happy with Zhang Xing's gaze, which made him speak faster.

"This kind of behavior shows that he is very obedient, very good at following instructions, and can do things well." Looking at Quail, who gradually stopped shaking and even straightened up as he spoke, Charles touched his shoulder - —That’s the quail’s favorite spot to hit.

"well-done!"

Then Quail's straight back softened again, and he continued to huddle there waiting for the result of his treatment.

"Then it looks like I just need to find him a reliable boss, and he will be very useful."

"Yes, with my experience as proof, you don't have to doubt it."

"Then I'm happy to inform you..." Looking at Quail who didn't dare to react at all, Zhang Xing gave a definite reply: "Your reform through labor starts from now on, and try to make yourself a person who doesn't have to be afraid. .”

As for what he was afraid of, Charles, who dragged him away, would tell him.

"Sir, how do you plan to use Pike?"

"Pike?"

"Yes, Parker." Somewhat surprised by Zhang Xing's reaction, Brick pointed at the leaving crowd. Those little devils who were ruled by Charles with fear still chose to follow him and continue to clean the house.

The tauren are obviously not scary at all, so why did they even follow them?
  Brick puffed heavily and continued to explain to Zhang Xing: "Pike is his name, I thought you knew it."

"I do know it now." It seems a bit strange to use quail as a name.

It seemed that no one but Charles had to give himself a name.

With this thought in his mind, Zhang Xing glanced at the living room where only he and Brick were left, and dragged two chairs to the corner for the tauren to sit down and talk.

"Talk to me, what happened? And where are the other two people? Don't tell me they have been sold?"

"It's nothing more than a common thing in the lower city..." Brick sat down on the stool that was a bit petite for him with a sense of relaxation.

In a place like Xiacheng District, a person's full value can only be reflected when he is alive, or when everyone thinks he is alive and can interfere with himself.

Just like Brick, when he was still in downtown, he could certainly scare the crap out of the bad guys and find something to do for himself and the kids he adopted.

But due to some accidents, Brick signed a contract of sale and exchanged seven voyages for enough money.

And after he boarded the merchant ship and set out on a long sea voyage, as time passed, once the speculation that he died on the ocean outweighed his confidence that he was still alive, those scavenging mosquitoes would naturally gather.

After all, although people say that tea cools down when you walk away, the tea in Xiacheng District always cools down very quickly.

And now here we are, a bunch of new goods of very high quality, which for this small gang in the shantytown is like a honey nest without the protection of a bee colony.

As long as you pull it gently, you can enjoy countless sweet things.

"In this case, you still dare to be loyal to me on the ship?" Zhang Xing twitched his lips: "Are you so sure that I will stop at the port of Eris? What if I decide to sail further to see the world? Where’s the scenery?”

"I have two younger brothers. We were adopted kids together, just like our mother adopted us." Brick lowered his head, as if recalling something.

Brick and his brother, who were raised by kind-hearted people in the lower city, chose the same rugged and long road to glory.

"I have no conditions for my loyalty to you. Anyway, I have already signed a deed of betrayal. Although this contract has been unable to be executed due to some accidents. But I have decided to dedicate this time to you."

Brick and his brother had discussed it long before he came aboard. According to the final decision, he would be the crew member of the fat catfish, and then the brothers would continue to protect these brats.

It's a perfect plan. Anyway, these little guys will be independent in a few years, and then they won't need to worry about anything. While adoptions may not stop, they will have a lot of helpers, and more and more helpers.

Even if Brick is lucky enough to survive after seven voyages, he can still continue to walk on this path of glory with his brother.

And it seems that Brick's luck is really not good. He encountered pirates on his first voyage - regardless of Zhang Xing or not, the pirates who responded to Bai Ge will deal with them.

But Brick was lucky after all. A man named Zhang Xing appeared in front of him leading the light and gained his loyalty.

And his two younger brothers were not lucky enough...

"They are all dead. They all died in an accident at work, so these bastards started attacking the brats." When he said this, Brick's expression remained unchanged, still the same as he recalled.

"This is Xiacheng District, this is their fate." He raised his eyes, the red light in his eyes had long since dissipated, leaving only some dim traces.

Life and death seem particularly relaxed in Xiacheng District.

Some people will live because of a word, while some people don't even realize they are dead.

People are bound to die, but it's especially easy to die in Xiacheng District.
