The little boy, who used to be in the third street, was startled and got goosebumps.

He saw a young man with crippled arms slowly stand up from the bed.

“Damn, a cripple. He scared me!” The thief, who was less than ten years old, was not afraid of being caught.

He saw that the person in the room couldn’t threaten him, and even dared to scold him at the window, “What a stare, will I, Lao Tzu, be afraid of you, a waste person? Quickly tell me, where are the things hidden? Where did the woman who just left leave the valuable things?” He explored the house for a long time, but nothing was found.

“Nothing! She left only a crippled in the room.”

He couldn’t steal anything. He climbed the high wall in a bad mood.

He couldn’t see the thin yellow sand condensing behind him as a sharp soil thorn had been aimed at his neck.

“Eh, are you the one with her?” The boy stretched out his little finger and turned towards Ye Peitian. Living in this street, the little bastard who made a living from stealing was used to running into things.

“Your hands are gone. The woman is willing to support you. Is it because you look good?”

Ye Peitain’s eyes shook, and the murderous intention inside suddenly disappeared.

The boy’s feet were on the yellow sand.The smug thief didn’t know that he had just walked out of the door of death, and he was still talking, “I don’t think you look pretty. You are just a little bit fair. Maybe women liked small fair faces.” He touched his waxy little face, “I don’t know if there would be a woman who would feed me like this when I grow up.”

At first, the boy thought that the man in the room was very fierce. He was staring at him with cold and fierce eyes, just as countless people in this street.

He couldn’t help but want to be angry with him. His left and right hand was crippled, and he couldn’t hit him anyway.

Then while talking, he suddenly felt that this person was actually okay.

No matter what he said, the man just stood there silently listening, even a little seriously. It gave him a feeling of being taken seriously. Few people could listen to him in this way. He was a little proud in his heart, and he kept talking. He talked about Li San’s wife on East Street, who stole a man’s property and ran away with a young man.

The man in the room didn’t speak, and he listened to him in silence.

Suddenly the boy felt some sympathy for him,

A man, with his hands crippled and pale, was locked in the room.

It was really pitiful since no one except that woman usually could talk to him.

“Eh, what’s your name? Are you going to live for a few days? Seeing you so pitiful, you must also be bored so I recognize you as a younger brother. When I’m free, I will come to talk with you.”

“Why don’t you answer, are you dumb?”Ye Peitian didn’t know how to answer. Most of the time, he was alone, and he didn’t know how to communicate normally with others.

Sometimes no enemies came to him for a long time. He even hoped that there would be enemies coming for him. Although those people would only yell some unpleasant words, those were still living people after all, not cold yellow sand.

The demons in the world were getting more powerful now. If there were no enemies coming for a long time, he would worry that when he walked out of the castle one day, he would find that all the humans in the world were dead. There would only be demons and half-humans on the entire planet.

“Ah, I saw your woman coming back. I am leaving first,” the thief’s head disappeared from the window.

Ye Peitian didn’t know why he was a little flustered. He laid back on the bed and covered himself with the quilt with his mouth.

Footsteps and voices came from outside the door.

The doorknob turned and the door was pushed open. A woman’s face came in and she smiled when she saw him.

The noisy sounds on all sides seemed to stop in an instant, as if there was only one person left in the world.
