Lin Ke just winked at Nan Tong, and Nan Tong slowly suppressed the burst of magic power.
When the robber noticed the change in Lin Ke's eyes, he also looked in the direction of Nan Tong.
However, he did not find anything unusual.
"I never thought that an outsider would come to a village like this with a magician."
"How about it, how much stuff is here?"
he asked, turning his gaze towards his companion.
His only remaining eye gleamed with greed in the dim firelight.
The companions of the one-eyed strong man were rummaging through the drawers and cabinets roughly at this time, and the crisp sound of pottery jars being smashed could be heard one after another.
Every time one of those breaking sounds was heard, Elisha's father's body trembled.
For him, who had to bear the entire family expenses, the broken sounds not only symbolized the pain of broken objects and plunder.
It also means that their future has been taken away at this moment.
Without this food, they would not have been able to survive this year.
"There's not much, just these."
The sturdy man kicked over the last pottery jar in the corner, and several pieces of dried fruit rolled to the ground.
Then he immediately picked up the dried fruits and put them in his pocket.
Elisha's father was tied to a pillar of the house with hemp ropes, and the rough ropes cut deep into his flesh.
His breathing became heavier, as if it was being squeezed from his lungs.
"My Lord! That's our family's food for this year!"
As he watched the robbers pick up the last half bag of barley, he finally couldn't help but speak.
Elisha had never seen his strong-willed father show such an expression.
That made him feel as if something in his heart was broken.
"Can you please leave some for the children?"
"As long as it's enough for the children to eat!"
The one-eyed man suddenly turned and walked towards him, and the flour on the soles of his boots left footprints on the ground.
Clear footprints.
The stench of his sweat was overwhelming, and Elisha's father could even see the sunken skin lines on the man's blind eye.
"Fuck, are you teaching me how to do things?"
"Everything you have is mine."
"You have no right to make irresponsible remarks here. Besides, in this world, being alive is the most painful thing."
"If you're going to die, you better die together."
"Leaving only food for the children will only make their lives more miserable."
"If you're going to starve to death, you might as well just end your life after we're gone."
As the one-eyed man was speaking, he saw Elisha staring at him with a fierce look.
Seeing this, he just chuckled softly.
"Look at the look in this little thing's eyes."
"I might as well kill these two little creatures."
At this moment, the one-eyed man saw Elisha kicking something gently with his foot.
He raised his head and the shepherd's crook was falling straight down from above his head.
If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would have been hit on the back of the head by the shepherd's crook.
But he did not go looking for trouble with Elisha. Instead, he grabbed Elisha's father's hair and forced him to look into the corner.
Then......
“Bang!”
A crisp sound.
"Look at your good son. He just wanted to hit me on the head with his shepherd's crook."
Elisha and his sister were tied together. His sister's lips had turned white from crying, and the boy's face still had bright red marks from a slap.
Elisha's father just gritted his teeth, and at this moment, the one-eyed man suddenly kicked the spindle in the corner, breaking it into pieces.
The flying sawdust scratched Elisha's mother's face.
Drops of blood slid down her pale cheeks and dripped onto the torn collar of her chest.
Moreover, outside the house, there were sudden and shrill cries of the sheep, which meant that his companions had left their house.
When Elisha heard the voice, he just shuddered.
He could still hear the sound of the blade cutting through flesh, and the sound of warm blood "arriving" on the hay.
"No!"
"My sheep!"
Elisha shouted loudly, but the one-eyed man ignored Elisha and suddenly leaned close to his father's ear.
"Do you know why we chose your house?"
He took out a faded ring from his bosom with his blood-crusted hands.
It was used to tie slaves for sale.
"Yesterday at the market, someone exchanged this for three bags of wheat."
"Your little girl should be able to fetch a better price."
The one-eyed man said this, then walked towards Elisha's sister with a smile.
Elisha's father suddenly struggled violently, and the hemp rope rubbed his wrists until they were bloody.
“You dare!”
"I'll fight you, you bastard!"
"Don't touch my daughter!"
As soon as Elisha's father finished speaking, he was hit hard by the one-eyed strong man.
Then he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Stop making such a fucking noise."
"Anyway, a girl like you won't survive long in this land."
"One day she will be seen by the imperial soldiers and captured as a slave."
"It would be better if I could just sell it for a good price."
"In this way, I will never come to your village again."
The one-eyed man had already walked towards Elisha's trembling sister.
His dirty hands grasped her slender ankles.
"That's enough, let's stop now."
