Dennis saw that Shellyl was looking at Cleo, and then he was smirking alone, as if he was thinking about something, so he clapped his palms and said, "Sister Shellil is thinking about her lover, it's Brother Cleo." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Cleo blushed a little, and then said embarrassedly, "Dennis, don't laugh at your sister, otherwise your sister won't bring you chocolates and lollipops in the future." ”

Shirley blushed like the red glow of the sky, slapped Dennis's face and said, "Okay, you actually learned to make fun of your sister, have you learned to be rebellious, Dennis, you little villain, you don't learn to learn, but you learn to make fun of your sister." ”

Shirley also pretended to twist Dennis's ears, and Dennis could only beg for mercy and said, "Sister, I don't dare, sister, I won't dare to make fun of you in the future." ”

"It's good to know, that's what makes fun of my sister, you know?" Shellier let go of the hand that was twisting Dennis.

Chrio looked at their happy family, and couldn't help but think of his father, although when he was 8 years old, his father had already left him and his mother, but his heroic masculinity was still unforgettable in his mind, and he heard that his father gave his life for the kingdom, so he was a hero, and gave his life for the great kingdom.

Today Aina went to the dessert shop above the town to work as a cashier, Aina changed another job, but compared to the previous fruit factory processing work, the dessert shop at least does not have to stay up late to work, and the salary is better than the previous fruit factory, with an income of 300 gold coins a month, which can be said to be a lot of income in the civilian area. And because Aina is conscientious and responsible, hardworking and capable, she has some extra bonuses a month, and she can get an extra 50 gold coins per month, and the dessert shop provides staff dormitories, so that Aina does not have to travel back and forth between the town and the civilian area.

Remembering that Tiffany was hungry by now, she hadn't found all the herbs Uncle Arnold had said.

"Didn't you say you knew a boy from the herb shop this morning? I only have four-leaf clover, mint, hyacinth, violets, lemon balm, lavender, and jasmine, can you please help me find all of these?" said Cleo, looking at Shelly.

Hearing that Clio was so anxious to find all the herbs for the girl last night, Shirley couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and said sourly: "You really care about people, these herbs have to be found, but it costs a lot of money, and they don't give you money, you are so enthusiastic, maybe that girl won't be grateful to you, you said that she fell on our street covered in blood, maybe some government wanted criminal." ”

Seeing Shirley like this, Clio said: "Sheryl, don't say that, Tiffany is really because she met a wild beast and was separated from her sister, so she ended up on our street, she was an orphan, homeless, and seriously ill, she can't just watch her like this, regardless of it, you can be kind and help me this time." ”

Shirley was originally saying some angry words, but she didn't say that she really wouldn't help, and Clio said this, her heart immediately softened, but she still had to pretend to be reluctant and said: "Okay, as a pity for this lonely girl, I'll wait for a trip to the herb shop to help you find all these herbs." ”

"I knew you weren't really going to help me, wouldn't you, Shirley, by the way, help me get a bottle of borage nectar from the drugstore. Clio said happily patting Sheryl on the shoulder.

When Clio returned home, he first washed the mint and four-leaf clover with tap water, then mashed the four-leaf clover with household tools and put it in a glass bowl, then heated the mint and boiled it into soup, put it in a glass, and added some herbs from the refrigerator to cook a light and delicious fish soup, and then brought it into the room to prepare for Tiffany.

As soon as she opened the door to the room, she found Tiffany lying on the floor, and there was a trace of blood flowing from the floor.

Cleo was taken aback, and hurriedly put the herbal soup and fish soup on the desk, then helped Tiffany up, patted her pale cheek gently, and said softly, "Tiffany, Tiffany, wake up quickly." ”

Tiffany was slapped by Clio like this, opened her eyes slowly, and then saw that it was Clio, and said angrily, "Did I just faint?"

Clio helped Tiffany up, then let her lie down on the small wooden bed again, and said softly: "Didn't I say I went out in the morning, I came back, but as soon as I came back, I saw you fainting on the floor, which startled me, Tiffany, don't you matter, how do you feel now, will you have chest tightness and headaches?" ”

"I don't feel as bad as I did in the morning, I'm just a little hungry. Tiffany said weakly.

"By the way, I went to the mountains in the morning to help you pick some herbs, and then came back to cook them into soup, and I also helped you make fish soup, which can nourish your body, so you can drink it while it's hot." Clio said with a smile.

Tiffany felt extremely warm in her heart, although her appearance was no longer the glamorous princess of the kingdom, but she was still a princess with noble royal blood flowing in her body, and said: "I don't know how to thank you for everything you have done to me, I can only say thank you." ”

Clio brought the fish soup to her eyes, and then said softly: "Tiffany, drink the fish soup first, so that your body can recover, and when you have strength, you can get out of bed and move, because lying in bed all day, you shouldn't like it." ”

Tiffany nodded, and then took a sip of fish soup, but she was used to eating exquisite and delicious food in the palace, and she drank a sip of fish soup that didn't even have spices and seasonings, and almost vomited it.

Seeing Tiffany's face was not good, and she still frowned and swallowed a mouthful of fish soup, as if the fish soup was very unpalatable, no, I had just drunk this fish soup, and it tasted very delicious and delicious.

"What's the matter, Tiffany, isn't the fish soup delicious?" Creo asked with concern.

"Isn't this fish soup unseasoned and unsalted?" asked Tiffany, putting the fish soup down.

"I just added some herbs, salt flowers are more expensive, and we usually pick some herbs ourselves to make flavors. Clio said that drinking this fish soup with herbs was already a very tasty food for him, and he couldn't understand why Tiffany frowned as if it was a very unpalatable food.

"That's how you usually eat? No salt. Tiffany asked again, unbelievably able to see anyone in the kingdom eating like this.

"Yes, some people still can't eat this kind of food, although fish soup is not a precious food in the eyes of the nobles, but for us commoners, it is already a very happy thing to be able to eat fish soup. Clio said with some emotion.

But Tiffany really can't drink these fish soups, and she doesn't like to eat the delicate seafood sashimi in them, not to mention that this bowl of soup is cloudy, and the fish soup with a strong fishy smell without seasoning is simply difficult to swallow.

I didn't expect her grandfather to be such a wise and wise king, ruling the entire Ireto Kingdom, and every day I heard that the civilians outside were singing about the great achievements of the Bradrick Kingdom, saying that the entire Midgard continent was prosperous and rich, everyone was well-fed, every family could be carefree, children could receive the popularization of knowledge, young people could find well-paid jobs, the elderly could get free subsidies and benefits from the royal government every month, and enjoy Qingfu, and the retired knights could get generous benefits from the local government, so Tiffany, who lived in the palace, felt that the whole continent was living a life as prosperous as the palace, everyone can eat delicious food, everyone lives in a gorgeous house, whether it is the royal family, nobles, or commoners, they are all on an equal footing, it seems that she is too naïve and naïve.

"Do your children here have a school to attend, and can the elderly enjoy Qingfu at home?" Tiffany asked earnestly as she looked at Clio.

I didn't understand why Tiffany was asking these questions, but Clio said, " Our children here,Most of them are after finishing the civilian school,Probably at my age,Or younger than me,In order to support the family's food and clothing,All come out to work early,And it's usually very hard,Sometimes you meet the boss who exploits and oppresses people,Usually you can't get your due salary,The old people here,Even if it's to the age of gray hair,In order not to add trouble to the children at home,Will also help work,Ranch to help milk,Feed cows to eat pasture,In the field,They also have to help sow seeds,Water,And then take it to the market to buy,Some have to go to the mountains to collect herbs,Sometimes encounter poisonous snakes and beasts, may be seriously injured, the family because of poverty, can not afford to hire a doctor, can only rely on eating some herbs, survive the fall of injuries, can only be pulled to the mountain for burial, because poor, so most of the old people even if the soul returns to the Yellow Spring, will not use the sarcophagus to bury, sarcophagus this kind of thing, is the royal family and nobles can afford to use things, how can the commoners be so extravagant and exquisite, if you can have a dilapidated house to shelter from the wind and rain, three meals a day can afford to drink this kind of fish soup civilians, it can already be regarded as happy, and those homeless homeless people in the underground street, they are really poor, really worthy of sympathy, but the royal government is in order to please the royal familySome of the people in our civilian areas have been charged with some crimes because they can't pay those taxes every month, and they have been arrested and put in prison, and even have to confiscate their family property, so these layers of taxes have caused many civilians to be displaced and homeless, but our great king does not know that in order to please the royal family, the nobles and government officials always sing the praises of the king's great achievements everywhere, whitewash the peace, and try to cover up the tragic experiences of the commoners, every time the royal government comes to inspect us, the local government will drive those homeless people into the mountainslest they affect the image of the prosperity and wealth of the small town of Iphira, but what is the use of doing so, when the officials of the royal government leave, these commoners are still living without food, so the king does not know that his kingdom, which looks like a splendid palace on the surface, is in fact full of moths and will fall sooner or later. Therefore, even the Grand Duchy of Melperine, which has always been backward, now dares to openly ask the kingdom for marriage, ostensibly a marriage, but in fact it is a challenge to the prestige and dignity of our kingdom, so the king is simply a tyrant, he does not know how to love his people like a son, he only knows how to exploit and oppress his people, and only knows how to enjoy the glorious days in the palace. ”

"You are talking nonsense at all, His Majesty Bradric is obviously a very wise and wise king, how can it be like what you said, the great achievements of our kingdom are all illusions, impossible, you must have never been to the royal capital, so you are simply hearsay, you don't believe in His Majesty's personality, he is not the kind of tyrant who exploits and oppresses the common people, he loves the people like sons, and hopes that his subjects will live a healthy life. ”

Tiffany suddenly became very angry, because in her eyes, her dear grandfather was so noble and great, almost as holy as a god, how could he be a tyrant in Clio's mouth.

"You are not Princess Tiffany herself, how do you know that his maternal grandfather was a good king who loved his people like a son, if it is really a good king as you say, then look at what kind of life the people in our civilian area lived, and what kind of life the homeless people in the underground streets lived. Clio continued, he really didn't understand that Tiffany herself was a person who didn't get the government's attention. Otherwise, how could they be displaced and homeless, but here they will clear the reputation of exploitation and oppression of civilians for the king.

Tiffany held her head, and then she felt dizzy, and even her heart began to become violently painful, as if she was about to step into the road of death, the potion that Aunt Freya gave her, what kind of poison made her so uncomfortable, not only did her body feel as if she was being roasted in flames, but also tens of thousands of insects and ants that were eating her lungs seemed to swim in her blood, and her head seemed to be placed as if a bomb could cause her nerve pain at any time, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of hazy morning mist, and the world in front of her was becoming more and more blurred, and her ears seemed to be blocked with cotton, and she couldn't hear what Clio was saying, but I heard the poignant nightingale singing, the heart seemed to be pierced by the thorns and silver needles on the roses at the same time, and the fingers seemed to be soaked in snow water that was only about zero degrees, that kind of cold and piercing feeling, only the pedestrians who worked hard in the cold snow-capped mountains can experience the pain caused by this low temperature, at this moment, if you lose consciousness like this, if you die like this, it is a very happy relief for Tiffany, and now for her, it is better to live than to die, and I have never felt that life is so fragile, and at the same time I have to suffer so much。

Cleo saw that Tiffany suddenly held her head, and looked very painful, I don't know if it was another headache, or the wound on her body was beginning to inflame, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support Tiffany, and said in a nervous tone: "Tiffany, how are you, do you have a headache, or the wound hurts, tell me." ”

"Ahh

Seeing Tiffany's pain like this, Clio was a little at a loss for a while, and remembered that a strange illness caused by poisoning like Tiffany should first go to the civilian hospital in Iffira to see it before it can be effectively treated. Thinking of this, Clio opened his wardrobe and took out a dark green hooded jacket from it, because Tiffany's current face would definitely scare a lot of people if she went out. So put Tiffany in a hooded jacket first, and then it can play a certain cover-up role, because tomorrow is going to class, and when he goes back to school, Tiffany will have no one to take care of her, so now send her to the hospital first, in the hospital

At least there was a nurse inside who could take care of her daily life.

Cleo picked Tiffany on his back and went down the stairs, Shellyl was helping to wash and dry clothes at the door, Colin and Dennis were playing with soapy foam next to them, and it seemed that the family was happy, although they were in a backward civilian area, it was like a small red flower in the corner of the mossy wall, although it was not beautiful, but it exuded a strong and fragrant atmosphere.

Shirley saw Clio coming downstairs, and a girl in a dark green coat was behind her, because although it was a boy's coat, Tiffany's slender ankles and a pair of mud-stained Mary Jane shoes knew that it was a girl. Where is Clio going to take her, didn't he say he wanted to have lunch together?

Shirley put down the clothes in her hand, then wiped her soap-frothy fingers on the white apron around her waist, walked over, and asked eagerly, "Cleo, where are you going, and where are you taking her?" ”

Cleo put down Tiffany, and then said to Shirley: "I am now going to take her to the civilian hospital, although the medical conditions are not as good as the national central hospital, but at least it is cheaper, only 1 gold a day, if there is a poverty certificate issued by the government, you can also waive some surgery fees, if you go to the central hospital, it will cost 10 gold a day, it is estimated that it will cost me a week's living expenses." ”

"But, you go now, what about tomorrow's class, didn't you say that you will soon participate in magic training, now is a critical moment, do you still have to take her to the hospital to see a doctor, and you can't take care of her in the hospital. ”

Shelly's eyes were filled with a hint of jealousy that was difficult to detect, but she still thought about Clio in her heart.

"I know, but I heard that civilian hospitals can handle nurse care, and the cost is not high, so I want to take her to the hospital, and then let the nurses help take care of her, so that I can go to class, and it will not delay her treatment, Shirley, I still need you to help me, usually bring me food and fruit to the hospital to Tiffany, all the expenses for me to pay, okay, I beg you." ”

Cleo looked at Sheryl, his eyes were full of pleading, because he knew that Sheryl was kind-hearted, and although her family was poor, she would usually give some porridge cooked with bread and wheat to the homeless people who came to ask for food.

"Why do you think I have to help you, I still have to go to work in the flower shop on weekdays, and I have to come back on weekends to help my dad pick vegetables and fruits, help make fruit wine, help Colin and Dennis make clothes, where do you have time to go to the hospital to bring her food, do you think I have so much time every day?"

"Since you said so, then I will take her to the hospital myself, and I will pay for the nurse to take care of her for me, I know that you are very busy, you don't have time, and I am embarrassed to ask you to help me. ”

After Cleo finished speaking lightly, he helped Tiffany to get into the taxi borrowed from his neighbor Uncle Black, the taxi was very tattered, and the yellow paint on it had begun to peel off, this was borrowed by Uncle Black, who drove a taxi downstairs under Cleo, and said that it was borrowed, but in fact, because Uncle Black was resting at home today, Cleo could borrow it, and he paid 2 gold coins to borrow it, which was a rented car.

There is no magic bus in the town on the Clio civilian area, and the distance to the civilian hospital is a bit far, and you have to pass through a potholed dirt road. Because the civilian area is not under the special jurisdiction of the Ifira government, it is a place where civilians live freely, so the roads here are not only potholes, but if you are not careful to cross the bicycle on a rainy day, you may fall into the mud pit and drink the rainwater.

Clio used to go to school, and occasionally suffered from this, because it was a civilian area, very backward, and even if the roads he usually walked on were very potholes, the civilians were still very used to it, and it seemed that no one took this kind of thing to heart. Even on rainy days, when the roads are so wet that pedestrians can easily fall into mud puddles, the civilians are only complaining and not wanting to change, they have already lived very hard, so they have long been very numb to this kind of thing, let alone raising money to build roads.

Although it didn't rain today, to get to the Ifira civilian hospital had to go through the road of the civilian street, so Clio spent money to hire a taxi, because he had to bring Tiffany, so it was impossible to use a bicycle or a two-wheeler, although there were two-wheelers carrying passengers, but to pass through that rough road, Clio thought it would be better to spend money to rent a car that was dilapidated but at least safe to pass through the potholed road.

Shellier didn't answer Clio, but looked depressed, and went back to wash the clothes again, Dennis next to him came to use his hands to scoop up the foam in the wooden basin where the clothes were washed, and was so angry that Shellier opened his hand, Dennis saw that his sister's eyes were red, and he was surprised, and he didn't know why his sister suddenly became angry.
