Chapter 22 Weakness
With Ulu's reminder, Bai Wei realized that his posture was indeed a little abnormal.
In order to allow Bai Wei to stand higher and see farther, Ulu brought a table from somewhere, and then stood on it, standing on tiptoe, raising his left hand high with the middle finger raised.
It feels like the protagonist in a hot-blooded youth comic raising his finger to the sky, except that he uses his index finger, while Ulu uses his middle finger.
This strange action naturally attracted a lot of people's attention. If everyone was not unconscious due to hunger and had no energy to think about other things, someone would definitely come over to ask what the priest was doing, whether he was performing some sacred ceremony, whether he needed their help, etc.
But they were really too hungry, so even with such a weird action, these people just raised their heads, looked over here with their numb eyes, and then licked the porridge at the bottom of the bowl, and then slowly and limped away... But it was indeed very weird that they could still take a look under such circumstances.
"Okay, we've finished looking, you can come down now." Bai Wei said calmly after coming back to his senses.
Wu Lu was relieved when he received the order and quickly got down from the table. Then he heard Bai Wei ask, "Does giving the middle finger have any special meaning here?"
"Special meaning?"
"Yeah, like swearing and stuff."
"Well... I don't think so." Wu Lu didn't dare to be careless in response to Bai Wei's question. He recalled carefully and really couldn't remember any special meaning of giving the middle finger. So he answered, "I've thought about it, and it really doesn't have any meaning."
"Is that so?" If not, Bai Wei would be relieved, "If that's the case, you should give your middle finger more often in the future."
Ulu was a little puzzled: "Why is this?"
"Because it allows me to see further." Bai Wei said calmly, "For many things, I can only understand what happened if I see them with my own eyes. You keep your hands in your pockets, so what can I see? Especially when you meet people, it's best to habitually raise your finger, otherwise... I may not be able to help you in time."
Then, Bai Wei told Ulu what he had just seen.
When Uru heard that more knights were coming and the whole town was under martial law, he felt nervous. But when Bai Wei said he would help him, he was touched, but he was still a little confused: "I understand, Lord Visas... But if I give everyone the middle finger, wouldn't it be a bit strange?"
If this were my world, you would be beaten if you pointed your finger at everyone you met.
Bai Wei complained silently in his heart, but still answered calmly: "Can't you design some natural movements? Do you really need me to teach you everything?"
"I, I understand."
At this time, Bai Wei couldn't help but complain in his heart, if it was another finger that was possessed, it would be better. Visas had two fingers left outside, one was the middle finger of the left hand, and the other was the thumb of the right hand. If he possessed the thumb, then Uru could become a "Kuakua" person, and stand him up anywhere without any burden, and others would not only not find it strange, but also feel friendly.
Of course, the premise is not to stand vertically in the opposite direction.
At this moment, the familiar little figure came to Uru again...it was still the little boy.
"Father Uru." The little boy still lowered his head, looking very nervous, "I, I'm coming."
Wulu looked down at the little boy, and thought that this guy was here to ask for food again, and subconsciously his eyes widened in anger: "Why are you..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered that it seemed to be Bai Wei's intention to ask him to come and collect food every day, so he stopped the curse that was about to come out of his mouth.
"Come with me." He said to the little boy unhappily, then turned and left.
After walking two steps, he found that the little boy had not caught up. He turned around and found that the little boy was still standing there blankly. He immediately glared at him and said, "Why are you still standing there? Do you want me to give you the food here?"
The little boy finally came to his senses and immediately followed Uru to the back of the church.
While Wulu cursed in his heart, "What a greedy kid", he divided the food among three people like he did yesterday, put it together and handed it to the little boy: "Keep it well, don't let anyone find it."
The little boy took the food and hesitated for a moment with his head down. He seemed to be struggling, but the struggle did not last long. He raised his head and looked at Ulu, stuttering, "God, Father, no, we don't need so much."
"Hmm?" Ulu frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
The little boy lowered his head again, and his black hands kept rubbing the corners of his equally black clothes: "No, we don't need so much. Mom is dead, and only my sister and I are left."
Ulu's pupils narrowed slightly.
But he didn't say much. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Oh, that's true. You don't need that much."
The little boy nodded repeatedly, then gave one third of the food in the bag back to Ulu, then turned around and trotted away.
Looking at the little boy's back, Ulu opened his mouth and wanted to call him, but when he was about to open his mouth, he realized that he still didn't know the guy's name, so he could only watch him leave.
Bai Wei saw all of this, but during this period, he did not say a word. He just watched silently, as if he was asleep.
Because he knew very well that words would be a burden at this time.
Therefore, Bai Wei waited until Wu Lu gradually adjusted his mood before he slowly asked, "Do you remember yourself?"
Uru's expression, which had finally calmed down, froze again, and then he quickly denied: "Oh no, of course not, Lord Visas, please believe me, I was not so... weak when I was young."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, yes." A trace of panic flashed through Wu Lu's mind. He often felt this kind of panic when facing Bai Wei, but this time was different from the previous ones. He wanted to end this topic very much, so he asked urgently, "What should I do next?"
Ulu's way of speaking was already extremely disrespectful, but Bai Wei didn't care, as he knew that he had achieved his goal.
"Since you are free anyway, why not go see what your good brother is doing?" Bai Wei said with a chuckle, "Isn't he looking for my whereabouts all over the city? Let's do as he wishes."
