Not long after lunch, the wind whistling over the Knowledge City for a few days was much lighter, but the clouds were still very low, and at noon people thought that the rain would not stop easily.

This gloomy weather makes the grieving people even more painful.

?? On the commercial street, many people stood in the ruins destroyed by the fire, some sighed, and some fainted because of their anger.

The owner of the cake shop saw that the shop he had worked hard for 20 years had turned into a pile of coke, and he fainted without being able to get up in one breath.

A man of almost thirty years of age immediately rushed across the street, he hurriedly lowered the cake shop owner to the ground, then choked the middle man, and then discharged.

The unconscious cake shop owner woke up smartly and sat up with the help of others.

He saw that Charlie, the owner of the stew shop diagonally opposite, was helping him, so he nodded slightly in thanks.

Everyone was miserable, and there were no words of comfort, so Charlie could only sigh and pat the cake shop owner on the shoulder, and then returned to the ruins of his shop.

This side of the street was not spared, and the fire spread and burned down the street behind which books and stationery were sold.

The good news for Charlie was that his wife, Laura, and their newborn son were fast enough to be unharmed.

Holding her infant son, Laura stood in the rubble and kicked the fallen charcoal from time to time to see what else could be used.

Charlie and Lola saved a sum of money in the early years, and came here two years ago to buy a house, open a shop, and settle down, but they didn't expect it to be burned down yesterday.

Like many shops around, they opened a shop downstairs, lived upstairs, and are now homeless.

"Charlie, come here!" Lola made a discovery in the ruins, her voice full of surprise.

With a hook of her foot, she kicked a box out of the ground, and the box flew towards Charlie, who came by.

It was a palm-sized tin box with a small lock on it.

Charlie knew that his wife's box had never been opened in all these years, and it was one of the few things she had taken with her when she escaped from home.

"Great!" said Lola happily, "it seems that those bastards only grabbed the first floor and didn't go upstairs." ”

Charlie breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, "You guys go out first, be careful not to fall, I'll look for the rest." ”

Lola nodded, then walked out of the rubble with her son in her arms.

The floor and roof of this hapless building collapsed after the fire, and then the walls collapsed one after another, and a lot of waste was pressed on it.

Charlie rummaged through the approximately location of the bedside table, which contained a few gold coins and some silver coins, which should still be found.

It's much easier to do with money, and although shipping on the island was terminated and granaries were destroyed, a black market also appeared. While the price of food is not outrageous now, it is necessary to buy some tun.

As for rebuilding the house, Charlie doesn't think about it that much at the moment, and the most important thing in front of him is to let his wife and son pass this level first.

The current black market is just that some students exchange their saved dried steamed buns for money, anyway, their food is covered by the academy, and they can waste it if they don't starve to death.

As the saying goes, money is not exposed, especially in this time of crisis, Charlie pretended to bend over and rummage things, quietly picking up a few coins from the cabinet turned into charcoal and stuffing them into his boots.

After searching for a while, all that remained in the ruins was a longsword with a burnt hilt, an iron pot with a dented but unleaked bottom, a kitchen knife for chopping vegetables, and a barrel that they kicked out of the door when they escaped through the back door.

"That's all we have. Charlie said to Lola with a wry smile.

Laura also smiled bitterly for a moment, and then smiled and said to her husband: "That's good, when we first escaped from the castle, we had nothing but clothes on our bodies, and we were missing a shoe. ”

"You remember that night we were lying on the top of the mountain, discussing how we could keep ourselves from freezing to death in the winter. ”

Charlie also laughed, his wife is a natural optimist, no matter what difficulties she can always face with a smile.

He said, "Remember our quilt made of slime glue and straw......

The two of them stood in front of the ruins and remembered the time when they had escaped from the family, when they had nothing, and now they still had a few gold coins, the real estate deed was left at the town hall, and most importantly, they had a son.

Thinking of this, they found that the difficulties in front of them did not seem to be as great as they had imagined.

If there was no background sound of the cake shop owner crying and shouting opposite, this scene would be very warm.

When the owner of the cake shop learned that the earthquake was coming, he used his family's cash to buy food, but it was all robbed.

Laura muttered in Charlie's ear that the husband, though a little surprised by his wife's decision, was the smartest in the house, so he chose what his wife said he did, as usual.

Charlie walked over, quietly stuffed a gold coin into the cake shop owner's hand, and said softly, "Don't be discouraged, go buy something to eat first, and then talk about it." ”

"Useless ......," the cake shop owner sat on the ground with his head down, "without food, no matter how much money there is, it is useless." ”

Charlie patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there will always be a way to get through." ”

"What can be done?" cried the cake shop owner, "is there any food falling from the sky?"

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, which was what Charlie was most worried about.

The granaries were burned down, the shipping was cut off, and there was so much grain on the island that there would be less and less food in the future.

And where will the limited food be tilted......

Charlie could figure out with his heels that those future priests and aristocratic students in the academy must not be hungry.

He and his wife can get by, but the mother can't eat enough and has no milk, and the future of his son ......

Charlie didn't dare to think about it anymore, the couple ventured to settle in this crowded place of knowledge city in order to give their offspring a bright future, but no one expected this to happen.

He also began to get upset, this dude had lived on the island for more than twenty years, and many people had this kind of thought.

Charlie said perfunctorily: "I can't say that the sky will really drop the food down, take the money and gold coins first, maybe when it is useful, it will be good to return it to me when I have money in the future." ”

The owner of the cake shop squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "Don't comfort me, I'm not a child, if the sky really drops food, let me eat my leather shoes dipped in mustard." ”
