Chapter 323: Can't Change?
"Guards, don't make a fuss. ”
Ye Mu blamed Xiong Bingwei, and then looked at the cow dean, hoping that she could give a reasonable explanation.
"It's not that we're hypocritical. But we can't help it. ”
The cow dean shook his head and opened a thick book on the table. It was an old-looking book, but it didn't have a bit of dust on it, and it was obviously a lot of flipping.
The book was opened, and the cow dean put on his glasses, pointed to a line of words on them, and said:
"Last month, three children starved to death. A clergyman who couldn't stand the hunger and had fled, joined other cottages, and became a bandit. ”
As soon as these words came out, Ye Mu suddenly felt a headache. The cause of the incident seems to have been discovered by him - hunger. The reason for hunger, if nothing else, is precisely because the lord of the city has reduced the subsidy.
"Didn't we say okay, get you money? With money, you can buy food, and then you won't go hungry. ”
Xiongbei was blowing his beard, and the way he looked with one eye now really made people feel a little scared.
"Sir, don't be angry. Listen to me. The cow dean looked sad and said, "Even if you get us money, we will only be able to use it for a while at most." But what about when it's time out? We're still going to starve. ”
"You, why aren't you flexible?" Stone couldn't help but speak.
The cow dean looked at Stone, who had turned into a little child, and she looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Kid, do you have any good ideas?"
"Of course there is!"
Stone stood up suddenly, hunched up, looking bullish. It whispered, "Just go and rob the city lord and take all his food and money, won't this be done?"
Marensha hurriedly covered his mouth, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Dean, this kid has heard a lot of pirate stories, that's why he is like this, I hope it doesn't scare you." ”
How could this not be frightened? The cow dean wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then looked at Stone, who looked harmless to humans and animals, but was full of heart-to-heart and planned to kill people and goods, and felt a chill in his heart.
If this kid had come to his own church college, wouldn't so many children have to be influenced by him to become bandits? In that case, will your own church college still be able to do it?
"If I can get the city lord to agree to increase the subsidy to the academy, will I be able to let these children join the church academy?" Ye Mu asked.
"In that case, it's okay. However, we have so many children all at once, and we need more subsidies to support them. I also had to ask for some money to build new dormitories, yards, and beds, all of which cost money. ”
"I tried my best. ”
Ye Mu stood up as he spoke, stretched out a hand at Xiong Bingwei, and whispered, "Lend me some money." ”
"Oh, good. ”
The bear guard agreed, and hurriedly took out a silver coin and five copper plates from his pocket, one of which was rotten.
"That's all I have. ”
Ye Mu took the money and couldn't help but sigh. What kind of sin have you done! All of a sudden, I regretted it. If you could get a little gold when you left on the street before being caught by the tiger man, you wouldn't have to be so downtrodden.
"This is for you. ”
"What is this for?" said the cow dean was a little surprised.
"You can take care of these children's food first, and I will go down the mountain now and beg the city lord so that he can give him more money. Ye Mu stood up as he spoke, and the other two people also stood up together with Stone.
"Xiong Bingwei, can you stay here and help the dean cut down trees? You are the only one among us who can help build a new dormitory. ”
Ye Mu didn't dislike the poor image of Xiong Bingwei now, and it was easy to be regarded as a pirate on the street, he just felt that since this mountain was full of wood, then the wood to build a dormitory would definitely be enough.
"Hmm...... Okay, master. ”
Xiong Bingwei said, looked at Stone, and said, "Stone is staying too, right? I need someone to help me." ”
"Wow——," Stone's cries out, "how can I stay and help you? I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity to take a good look out on the streets!
"Stone, stay and help the bear guards. ”
Marentha frowned. Now that the people of the Dark Brotherhood are unknown, it is not better to disperse them like this in order to prevent them from being caught all together. If one party is in trouble, the other party can come to support.
"How can you ...... like this?"
Stone looked aggrieved and about to cry.
"When I return, bring you some sausages as reward for waiting here. How's it going?"
Marentha's offer was tempting, for Stone it was the food that mattered, and it was better to stay here and wait for a bite to eat than to go out into the streets.
"Deal!" Stone readily agreed, then touched Xiongbei with his arm and said, "Let's go, let's go to the mountains and cut down trees." ”
"You're really an impatient. As he spoke, Xiong Bingwei also stood up, followed Stone, and the two walked out of the gate together, went to a mountain next to the academy, and began to cut down trees with great care.
Ye Mu also walked out of the gate of the academy with Marensha, and the cow dean sent them to the door.
"You must remember that our lord is called Stalin, and he is a baron. ”
"Baron Stalin?" Ye Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, and asked, "Does he have a girlfriend named Bobosha and a lover named Katyusha?"
The cow dean was stunned for a moment and said, "Baron Stalin is a baron. ”
"Baroness?" Ye Mu was stunned again.
"Yes, after the death of the earlier Baron Stalin, the previous lord of the city, the eldest daughter Jones Stalin, inherited the title. The cow dean gave an explanation.
"Oh...... That's it. Ye Mu nodded, and together with Marensha, he took advantage of the carriage and walked towards the bottom of the mountain against the rising sun.
The cow dean stood in place, looking at the two people who were drifting away, and couldn't help but sigh, "I hope this human and the elf can succeed!"
The sun is getting higher and higher, and it stands to reason that Marensa should have become a man at this moment, but she has always maintained her feminine state. This made Ye Mu feel a little strange, so he asked:
"Marentha, why are you still a woman?"
"Huh?"
Marensha was stunned for a moment, looked at her hands, and her body, and then said in surprise: "Yes, shouldn't you become a man? Why are you still a woman?"
"yes, what's going on?"
"Could it be ......" Marensa touched her chin, thought about it, and said, "It's because I gave you the general life, so I only have half of my life left, and I can't change?"
"Maybe...... Ye Mu felt a little guilty, he organized an attack, and then he was almost killed, if it wasn't for Marensa who gave him half of his life, maybe he would have died by now.
