Chapter 137: The Thief
Carlo and William Sr. argued, and in the end, Huang Guanglin refused to stay in the Miller family on the grounds of inconvenience.
Inconvenient?
With Caro's clinginess, Huang Guanglin may have a lot of bad things if he stays overnight. Even the head of the Miller family was worried that he would suddenly find out that his granddaughter would sleep in the same bed with Huang Guanglin the next morning, not because he didn't believe Huang Guanglin, but because he didn't believe in his own granddaughter.
Therefore, the head of the Miller family also simply let people go, and he didn't let go even if Carol was cute.
Huang Guanglin was relieved after getting into the carriage, he was really afraid that the head of the Miller family would also persuade him to stay overnight. It was not easy to establish a good relationship with the Miller family, and he didn't want to be stiffened by something, and his plan to purchase materials would probably be delayed by then.
Old William couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, is Mr. worried? Actually, there is no need, Miller knows his granddaughter better than anyone else, he is not stupid." ”
Huang Guanglin couldn't help laughing, "Hehe, if you're not stupid, you're not stupid, it's also a headache to have such a granddaughter." ”
"Hahaha, indeed. ”
The two chatted with each other, and the carriage slowly drove down the streets of the city. Because of the silence, you can clearly hear the sound of wheels rolling through the snow.
At the same time, it seems that the sound of a fight is heard.
"Mr. William, did you hear anything?"
Huang Guanglin pricked up his ears, and he heard the voice just now very clearly. Not only the sound of fighting, but also the invincing of a man, if I heard it right, the scolding was in Chinese!
There are wild folks appearing!
Huang Guanglin was a little excited, but he didn't lose his mind.
It is not too unusual for an earthling to appear in the Spirit Law Continent now, and it is impossible to say whether that person is good or bad. If it's a big bad guy, his reckless past isn't a good thing.
Old William nodded calmly, "I heard it, but there are fights and brawls in Thorn City every day, and it is no longer strange." At this time, it should be a riot caused by beggars grabbing food. ”
Regarding the situation in Thorn City, Old William, an old man who has lived a long time, knows better than anyone else. Thorn City is just a small city, but although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Aristocrats, commoners, beggars, and slaves, people of every class huddled in this small town.
Among them, beggars are those bankrupt nobles or commoners, who do not want to be slaves and have no source of income, so they can only beg every day for a living. Although he retained his status as a free man, he was often worse than a slave.
At this time, it was the time when the nobles had finished eating and taking out the garbage, and the beggars were probably fighting for a bone.
This is not much better than that of slaves, who still think that they still have the pride of being a free man, but in the eyes of others they are the most despicable objects.
Old William glanced at the young man's expression and said worriedly, "Sir, don't waste your kindness to pity them. If they still have dignity, they can go hunting in the thorn forest outside the city, even if they are bitten to death by monsters, it is glorious. Waiting outside the door of the nobles for the garbage to fill their stomachs, that is their own depravity!"
Huang Guanglin shook his head, "I know, it's just that I heard the voice just now." ”
Although he has not been in the Lingfa Continent for a long time, he has read a lot of books, and he still knows a lot about many things in this world.
In this world, the royal family and nobles are always high, followed by the commoners. Of course, most of the vassals of the nobility were also commoners, but their status was much higher than that of ordinary commoners. And then there's the lowest slave.
Beggars are an embarrassing existence caught between commoners and slaves, which makes people pity and hate!
Although Huang Guanglin was born in poverty, he did not have the heart of a virgin, and it was impossible to sympathize with those strangers for no reason. One is not good, and he can't say that he will cause trouble for himself and William's family.
So he said, "Old Mr. William, rest assured, I am not ignorant of things. ”
Old William breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
He was really afraid that Huang Guanglin would be kind to those beggars, he had heard some of the situations of the earthlings, and there seemed to be words in the earth language: "When one party is in trouble, all parties will support" and "helpful". It's just that this is not the earth after all, and many beggars are the most hateful, and if you help him with kindness once, he will probably rely on you.
That's a trouble that can't be shaken off!
It's just that sometimes if you don't look for trouble, trouble will come to you.
Just as the carriage passed through an alley, there was a sudden noise in the alley, and then a figure quickly scurried under the carriage.
Several people chased out of the alley, but they only saw the carriage moving forward, and they did not see the person they were chasing, so they suspected that the person was hiding in the car. However, as soon as they tried to stop the car, the driver slapped his whip on the wheel and shouted at them.
"What are you doing! You dare to stop even the nobleman's car, are you tired of being crooked!"
The coachman is the old man of William's family, although William's family is down, but the confidence of the nobles is still there, and in the face of a few dirty beggars, his face is full of majesty.
A few beggars were really frightened, but they didn't seem to want to watch the carriage leave, so the leader could only step forward.
"This old gentleman is invited, I will wait for the thief to come here, I don't want to go and lose my trace, I suspect that he is hiding in the car, and I ask the old gentleman to make it convenient. ”
The coachman glared at him, "What do you have to do with me! Get out of here, delay the master to go home, be careful that I smoke you to death!"
Yes, they are beggars, even free people, and they dare not provoke the nobles.
So I could only watch the carriage leave.
Huang Guanglin heard it clearly, and at this time, he glanced at Old William, and they both thought that the guy who was being chased was hiding somewhere in the carriage, most likely under the carriage.
Today was really unlucky, and it happened to happen to this kind of thing. That guy better not be an outlaw, or they're in danger!
Thinking of this, Huang Guanglin silently took out a stack of papers with a complete magic array drawn from his bag, ready to deal with emergencies at any time. Old William seemed to have experienced this kind of thing, but he did not panic, but slowly took out a dagger from his sleeve.
Sure enough, no one is stupid to live that long!
William's house was not close, and it didn't take long to arrive, but the two people in the car could clearly feel that the person hiding didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
It seems that they must take the initiative to solve this hidden danger!
Huang Guanglin and Old William glanced at each other, both nodded, and then quickly got out of the car, and took the coachman down by the way. As soon as he stood firmly, Huang Guanglin's staff and magic array paper had already pointed to the carriage, ready to move at any time.
Old William opened his mouth and shouted, "Where did the thief come from, don't get out quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The old man's voice was not small, and it instantly alarmed the family. William and his wife and the servants at home immediately picked up their rudimentary weapons and rushed out, tightly guarding old William and Huang Guanglin.
Huang Guanglin and Old William breathed a sigh of relief, now that they are outnumbered, they shouldn't be afraid of this thief.
At this moment, there was a click under the carriage, and a figure fell to the ground.
