Chapter 17: There is food to eat! And wages to pay! What kind of fairy days is this!

Today's weather is very good, there is no snow, and the sun is still hanging in the sky, which is warm and comfortable.

As the residents of Alicante woke up early in the morning, packed their things and headed to the nearby Misty Forest to try their luck, little Brandon dragged a basket and followed his five siblings out of town.

When I walked to the city gate, I suddenly saw a large number of people gathered around the bulletin board.

This morning, the knights of the City Lord's Mansion posted a notice on this clean bulletin board, and everyone's faces were a little ugly.

Little Brandon stood at the back of the crowd and tilted his head to look at them, then shoved the basket into his stupid, snotty brother who didn't know how to suck, and quickly slipped into the crowd, "Let it!

"Squeeze what, squeeze!, little hairy child, can you read and write!?"

The fat aunt Lina scolded when she caught little Brandon opening her mouth, and this little girl squeezed in with all her strength, and Linna, who was almost squeezed, almost wrestled.

Little Brandon crossed his waist, already beginning to have momentum at a young age, "Aunt Lina! I can't read it, can you understand it!?"

Lina was dismissed by a child, and her face turned red with anger, and she reached out to grab little Brandon.

Little Brandon crawled through the crowd like a loach, just to prevent Lena from getting his hands on it, causing a burst of laughter from everyone around him.

Most of the inhabitants of Alicante are illiterate, and they stand here with their hearts fluttering.

You must know that the last time a notice came out of the city lord's mansion was the year before last, and the city lord raised the tax rate.

That year, the number of inhabitants of Alicante plummeted by thousands, causing them to fear the signs coming out of the city lord's mansion.

"Let's get out of the way! Old Tutou is here!"

Someone shouted outside the crowd, everyone stopped crowding again, and hurriedly got out of the way, letting the thin old man on crutches outside the crowd come over.

Lao Tutou is in his sixties this year, he is one of the few people in Alicante City who can read and write, whenever someone comes to ask him to look at something, he is quite proud in his heart, but as soon as he hears the announcement from the City Lord's Mansion, even Lao Tutou's feet want to tremble.

He stood in front of the bulletin board, laboriously recognizing the words on it, "Announcement, City Lord's Mansion, to be collected...... Every family, every household, out of ......"

"What?

The crowd suddenly exploded, "What is going to happen? Could it be that the City Lord's Mansion is preparing to levy coolies?"

"God of Light, the Lord of the New City is the same, when will we be able to usher in the true light of Alicante City!?"

"This is not going to let people live!" someone threw away the basket he was carrying, sat on the ground and cried.

Life is already so sad, but the new city lord is still thinking about exploiting them, this is to make them die!

For a time, grief spread at the gates of the city, and the inhabitants of Alicante more or less hid their faces and wept, and even broke out to cry bitterly.

Suddenly, an ox cart drove slowly down the street, and the young man in the cart squinted his eyes at the city gate, and wondered how many people had gathered here, "What are you doing here, Bert, I'll go and see." ”

Bert, the old dwarf in the car, nodded at Wallis with a rolled cigarette in his mouth, his eyes half-narrowed.

Wallis squeezed into the crowd and walked over to the bulletin board, he glanced up at the notice on it, "The City Lord's Mansion has to recruit people, every family can go to it from children to adults, the City Lord's Mansion has one lunch a day, and the working people can get five copper plates a day. ”

"What did you say?" Little Brandon, who was standing under the sign, had very sharp ears, and when she heard the words "rice" and "copper plates", her eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly grabbed the corner of Wallis's clothes with her dirty little hands.

Wallis repeated what he had just said.

More people would hear him speak, and everyone was a little incredulous, and said in unison, "Do you say what you just said again?"

So, Wallis took the trouble to repeat what he had just said.

"And this kind of good thing?" said the residents of Alicante, their eyes widened and they chattered head-to-head.

"My god of light, is that really what it says?" another worried man grabbed Wallis.

"Yes, I swear to the God of Light, the billboard does say so, oh, it also says that the number of people needed is limited, so you don't need more. ”

Wallis had no trouble squeezing in, and it took a lot of effort to get out of the crowd.

Fortunately, after he said this, the crowd gathered here dispersed a lot, and little Brandon ran the fastest.

She inexplicably believed that the words on the billboard were true, and she wanted to go!

There is food to eat! And wages to pay! What kind of fairy days is this!

But there are still many residents of Alicante who are so frightened that they are fed up with oppression and can't even believe that such a good thing can happen.

Wallis got into the ox cart and told Bert what he had just said again, and sighed at the end, "The conditions given by this new city lord are indeed very favorable. ”

"Hmm. Bert replied coldly and drove out of the city.

He had no interest in the plates, and Wallis closed his mouth when he saw that he was not calm.

......

Today, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was particularly lively, and little Brandon's parents couldn't believe it.

"I'll take my sister to try it!" But little Brandon was a big ghost, and he dragged his sister and rushed to the city lord's mansion.

Speaking of which, the two little girls who were running barefoot in the snow were the first to arrive at the City Lord's Mansion.

When he entered, Jager stood in the doorway with a notebook to register.

"What's your name, how old is you, what skills do you know. Yager asked with a straight look, even if there were two little girls in front of him.

"Brandon, eight, chops wood, farms, cooks, washes the floor, mops the floor, and washes clothes. Brandon Jr. straightened his chest.

"Elaine, ten years old, chops wood, farms, cooks, washes clothes, cleans, and takes care of children. "Elaine is Brandon's older sister, and the two children stand hand in hand in front of the elegantly dressed Jager, and it is inevitable that they are a little timid.

Jager glanced at them coldly, beckoned behind him, and a sluggish maid stepped forward and ushered in little Brandon and the two.

The maid couldn't restrain her body, so much so that Ivy, who had been cleaning all night, finally finished everything, and was just about to lie on the bed to rest, when she was brought over by Jager.

"Jager, remember what you did today, and I will pay it back in the future!" Ivy gritted her teeth, and the two Brandon sisters, who were loud, could hear clearly.

The two little girls looked at each other, didn't dare to say anything, and cautiously followed Ivy through the long and dark corridor, with a warm light flickering in front of her, and little Brandon hurriedly rushed over with her sister.

After breaking through the darkness, the two arrived at the light.

As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw a gorgeously dressed woman with a graceful posture standing in the sun.

It seems that even the sunshine has a preference for her.

Jiang Yan's long black and bright hair shimmered slightly golden in the warm and comfortable sunlight, and she looked up at Brandon and Elaine, the two little girls breathed slightly.
