Chapter Ninety-Two: The Trouble with Aeg
"Woo, woo. ”
Betty was originally a cute little girl with hazel hair, a pair of charming little tiger teeth, and a whole family.
But these are in the past, her parents and relatives died in the disaster, and she cried not because of her injuries, nor because of hunger.
The real reason is that her only brother is dying, and the helpless Betty begs passers-by every day, hoping that a kind person can save her brother.
She didn't expect that her compassion was so low now, she felt desperate again and again, and she held on to hope again and again, Betty was tired, and when she asked for help again, her back was injured, and she couldn't see who the perpetrator was.
"Woo, Mom, Dad, Betty is really useless, my brother is going to die, Woo. ”
Tick tock.
From time to time, water droplets fell from the gloomy and damp alley, and some of them hit Betty's body gently, which was probably the only thing that could comfort her.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem. Suddenly, a sharp cough came out.
The sound came from the boy lying on the dilapidated cart, estimated to be only seven or eight years old, with a sickly face, the whole person looked thin, his skin was scattered with lumpy protruding white spots, and his short brown hair was wet, and his appearance was a little scary.
What was even more terrifying was that the little boy's legs were so swollen that they were thicker than an adult's, because of this, he was completely incapacitated.
The bloated legs were earthy yellow and covered with cracks, completely out of place with the rest of the little boy's body.
"Busso, I'm my sister, how are you. ”
Betty hurriedly crouched down in front of the cart, and she was in tears, because her brother was always half unconscious.
"Sister, sister, I'm so cold and hungry, why can't I see you, where are you, sister. The little boy was in a hurry, and he tried to reach out, but he couldn't.
"Here, my sister has always been here. Betty grabbed Busso's hand, she didn't know what to do.
"Sister, sister, am I going to die?" the little boy asked weakly, holding Betty's hand tightly.
"No, Busso, you'll be fine, trust sister, you'll be fine. ”
"Uh-huh, sister, I believe in you. ”
It wasn't long before the boy fell into a coma again, Betty stood up weakly, and she suddenly noticed a bag of things not far from the pipe where she had just been.
Betty remembered very well that there was nothing in the previous position, and she could more or less guess what was wrapped in it, and the kind of paper used to wrap bread was not unfamiliar.
Trembling as she picked up the bag, Betty didn't hurry to open it, she immediately rushed out of the alley, trying to find the kind man among the pedestrians who came and went.
But she was disappointed by the results, and by this time the good Samaritan had long since disappeared.
"Thank you, good Samaritan, and I wish you a safe life. ”
With tears on her face, Betty sincerely blessed the good Samaritan, but at the same time regretted that since she had given herself food, why didn't she show more mercy and save her only brother.
The answer to where the good Samaritan had gone was probably in a certain section of the town's streets, where two figures, one large and one small, dressed in gray robes, were heading towards the market, and they did not need Betty's gratitude.
"I wonder why you gave them bread, which is our lunch ration. Removing the hood from his robe, Yager glanced at Longyi beside him.
As for Longyi's self-indulgent decision to leave the bread there just now, Yag did not stop the other party, and he chose to raise questions at this time.
"Brother Yag, I'm sorry, they're so pitiful. By the time he answered this, Longy was in tears.
"Ryuyi be strong, I understand your feelings," Yag paused and patted her on the shoulder, reassuring him, thinking of what happened to the other party.
"Actually, I don't blame you for giving the bread to that girl, you know, sometimes helping someone is equivalent to killing him, have you ever thought about what will happen if someone else finds out about that bag of food?"
Hearing Yag's words, Longy looked at him with a little uneasiness, wanting to open her mouth but not knowing what to say, at this moment, she suddenly felt that she had done something very stupid.
"They are so weak that they may lose their lives because of that packet of food, and they will die sooner or later, but I think most of them want to die quietly. ”
"I, I was wrong, I don't know what to do. Longy sobbed.
In this regard, Yage could only show a helpless expression, he felt that it was necessary to explain some reason to the other party, because survival was a very cruel thing.
"Listen to Longy, we don't need too much kindness and sympathy, that is equivalent to giving others the opportunity to hurt us, the world has changed, now Miral is so ugly and ruthless, the beautiful Black Thorn Manor no longer exists, fortunately we survived, for us, it is enough to keep the beauty in our hearts. ”
"Brother Yag, I remember. It took some time for Ryu to fully understand what she was saying, and she wiped her tears and nodded vigorously.
Yager smiled, he looked around, and then continued, "I'm sure that when the adults come back, everything will be fine." ”
"I miss my lord too, and the duke. A smile appeared on Longy's face.
"Yes, we all miss you, but we have to do our part first, and Rangy remembers what we came to Miral for today. Yag asked earnestly.
"Yes, Brother Yag, go to the bazaar and ask the Watts merchant for food. Longy replied in the affirmative.
"It's up to you to tell you later, these merchants are cunning foxes, especially in this special time, it's even more hateful and disgusting, so let's go, Hull and they are still waiting for us to meet. ”
"Okay, Big Brother Yag. ”
The bazaar is much more lively now, and of course, it is more chaotic, because the purchasing power of gold coins is still there, and prices have not collapsed, so that the trading environment can still be stabilized, which shows that Randolph is still making a difference.
After coming here, Yag directly found the Watts merchant, he didn't want to stay in this crowded place for long, he wanted to just take the grain and leave.
"Watts, I'm here, bring me the food. ”
"Yag, you're here, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you your food. With a grin, Watts said lightly.
"What do you mean? The deposit has already been paid to you, and you want to breach the contract?" Hearing the other party's words, Yage frowned and asked coldly.
"There are few people left in the Black Thorn Manor, and I can't eat so much food anyway, so I took it upon myself to hand over the food to Captain Hunter, and as for the deposit, you can get it from him. Watts put away his smile and explained in a sarcastic tone.
Bang!
"Dog, do you want to die!" Arge drew his sword and stared at the other man.
"Big Brother Yag. ”
Longyi, who had ducked behind him, looked terrified, and at this time, she saw a team approaching this way.
"Ahh Watts feigned horror and shouted at the group in the distance.
As the team approached, the crowd was gathering, and Ager was like a great enemy, because he knew that these guys were not from the town guard.
"You want to kill Watts, why?" Hunter, who was headed, clasped his hands to his chest, with a slight look of curiosity in his eyes.
"He deserves to die, he broke the faith. Yag was wary of the other and said viciously.
At this time, Watts hurried over to Hunter and whispered a few words in his ear.
"I see, you stand down. ”
A strange smile appeared on Hunter's face, and he looked at Yag again, and then said, "I took your grain and deposit, and if you get out now, I can spare your life." ”
