Release that Witch - Chapter 469

[Chapter 462]

Joe fell ill.

He was originally the second-to-last weakest guy in the gang, but since he was abducted by Bai Zhi, he has become the weakest one.

There was no problem that night when he came back from the square, but the next day, Snake Fang found Joe lying motionless on the dry grass, moaning indistinctly, and his cheeks were terribly red.

“He was eroded by the cold plague,” Aoi touched Joe’s forehead, “his head was very hot.”

“Am…will I die?”

He opened his half-closed eyes and asked softly.

No one answered.

Cold plague is an extremely difficult disease. Once contracted, you can only rely on your body to resist it—but unfortunately, people in good health rarely suffer from cold. Few patients survive.

For rats, contracting the cold plague was basically a death sentence.

“I’m going to find Kanash,” Snake Fang broke the silence.

“What do you want him for?”

“I beg him to give Joe more food.” He stood up abruptly, “I’ve heard people say that if you have a cold, you can fill your stomach and keep your body warm, you can go through it.” The odds will increase a lot.”

“He won’t give it to you,” Tiger Claw shook his head, “We all know what kind of person he is.”

“That’s right, maybe you will be beaten up by him,” Aoi gathered the hay, “Mice never raise useless people.”

“Joe is not a useless person,” Snake Fang retorted, “he can still read!”

“It’s just a few, and is it of any use to Kanash? He wants Those who can fight, rob, steal and steal.”

“…” Gritting his teeth, Snake turned around and walked straight to the room of the manager of the cul-de-sac.

Even if he would be beaten out with a stick by the opponent, he still wanted to give it a try.

But unexpectedly, Kanash did not come back.

“You’re lucky,” Tiger Claw said with a grin when he brought the news back to his companions, “otherwise we might have to take care of one more.”

Aoi sighed, “When the bread is distributed, we will share Give it to Joe, let him eat more.”

But Snake Fang didn’t feel lucky, he faintly felt something was wrong.

It took less than half an hour to report the news to the Bloody Hand. If he didn’t come back last night, it could be understood as discussing countermeasures, but it’s already noon today, so why should the discussion be over?

Moreover, he took a sneak peek inside when those subordinates opened the door, only to find that not only Kanash, but also his lover was gone.

Not long after, the gang began to distribute food, and Snake Fang noticed that this time it was distributed by Kanash’s cronies.

What I got was still half a loaf of black bread.

…

Four days later, Joe’s condition not only did not improve, but worsened a lot.

Yesterday he could still yell about how cold he was, but today he can’t even speak.

The bright red face began to turn pale, and the sound of breathing became weaker and weaker.

“We tried our best.” Aoi said listlessly, rubbing her belly.

In the past few days, they have given half of the food to Joe. If it wasn’t for this, he might not be able to survive this time.

Tiger Claw, who was usually full of energy, looked a little weak.

These days, Kanash has not shown up.

More than a hundred mice gathered in the room began to discuss this, but it was just a discussion. After all, the daily food was still distributed as usual, but the noise was especially louder today.

Today is the day when the relief food was distributed in the preaching.

“I’m going to the square,” Snake Fang hesitated for a long time, and finally bit his lip. “Bread is not enough for us. If we can get a bowl of hot porridge, Joe may be able to survive.”

“Are you crazy?” Aoi glared at him, “Don’t forget how Kanash warned us, do you really want to be sewn up with a needle and thread?

” Where is it, maybe the city lord is going to attack them!”

“But his subordinates are still here, do you think they will let you go if they are discovered?” Aoi looked at Tiger Claw, “Don’t stand there stupidly, you Tell me about him too.”

“I’ll go with you,” said the latter suddenly.

“You—”

“Maybe this food distribution has been messed up long ago, or the nobles just want to put on a show. If there is no food at all, it will not be considered a violation of Kanash’s warning?” Tiger Claw flicked He curled his lips, “And I am strong enough to run back and forth with Joe on my back. The journey will not take long. Kanash is not here now, and those cronies are all huddled in his room to enjoy the fire. No one will notice us.”

” This…” Aoi hesitated.

“You stay here,” said Snake Tooth, “in case someone asks, there is an explanation. Let’s just say that we had diarrhea and went to a sheltered place to squat in a pit. Don’t worry, it only takes so long to get back from there.” ”

“Okay then,” she looked around, “you go and come back quickly.”

…

Snake teeth and tiger claws slipped out of the wooden house and ran all the way along the alley, the snowflakes under their feet soaked their trousers, The cold wind blew on the face like a knife, but even so, the two did not stop.

Panting and rushing to the square, they found that nearly a thousand people had gathered around the wooden platform!

They were actually handing out barley porridge!

The two ran over quickly, but were stopped by two guards in brown uniforms, “Go from that side, no pushing, no penetration, otherwise you will be disqualified.”

It was only then that Snake Fang noticed that wooden fences had been erected around the podium in the center of the square at some point, and people were like a long folded dragon, advancing along the passage surrounded by the fences one by one.

At intervals, there were guards with strange iron rods standing. They seemed to be the defenders of order. From time to time, some people were driven out of the team.

“My friend is sick…can you help us, please!” Snake Fang knelt down in the snow.

“He has been hungry for several days and needs food urgently!” Tiger Claw knelt down.

“What’s the disease?”

“It’s… cold plague.”

One of them reached out and picked up the unconscious Joe, “Give him to me, you guys go to line up.”

“This—”

“He knows the way back, right? “The other person said, “Even if he doesn’t know, you can come here to look for him.” While

speaking, the guard had already carried Joe away.

“What should I do?” The two looked at each other.

No one expected that the result would turn out like this. According to their thinking, the other party would either be indifferent, or let them go around the fence to get the porridge first.

“Let’s go back first, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com” Snake Fang decided after thinking for a moment.

“What, go back?” Tiger Claw was stunned, “Don’t you want to drink porridge?”

“It will take us at least half an hour, too long and accidents will happen,” he nodded, “We will sneak out to pick Joe up in the evening . ”

Tiger Claw reluctantly glanced at the wooden platform where the porridge was served, “Then…Okay.”

There is still a sentence that Snake Fang did not say, and now that the distribution of relief food announced has come true, then the other two As for the news, will it be realized one by one?

He faintly felt that the Black Street might be about to usher in a big change.

Back in Wuwei Alley, the two slipped into the house lightly, but were shocked.

I saw Aoi hanged at the door with black and blue face, her hands tied behind her back, and a crumbling bench under her feet, while Kanash’s men stood beside her, looking at the two of them with a sneer on their faces.

“Hey, are you back after eating and drinking?” (To be continued.)
