Mike's hand shook, and he took his sword and knelt down on one knee, his tone trembling, "No, Miss Cloris, I'm just executing the person who hurt you......"

"He didn't hurt me." Jing Hao clenched his hands to hide the wound that had fully recovered, and looked at the group of people who were still in front of him, "You are still here, do you want me to inform His Excellency Holly, the Grand Knight Captain, that his knights are negligent in their duties?" ”

Mike stiffened, bowed down and immediately retreated with the knights, and after walking away a few steps, he still couldn't help but look back, just in front of the pair of black eyes that looked like deep wells, and he couldn't see a trace of light, which made him shiver.

As soon as the people of the Bronze Knights left, Jing Hao knew that she couldn't stay here any longer, not to mention who they would meet when they went back, even if she was absent for a long time, the head maid of Livia would also find that the whole manor would be jumping and her ears would be unstoppable for a long time.

She glanced back at Albert, who had taken a few steps away from her at some point, and softened the cold look on her face, "Do you want to go back to the manor with me?" ”

The boy looked up at her, and the vigilance in his pure black eyes seemed to have been reduced a lot, and even the water bladder that he would hide behind him before was only in his hand, as if he hadn't figured out what she was saying.

"I want you and I to go and live in the manor, where there is endless bread and milk, and you can eat whatever you want." Jing Hao directly threw the most tempting bait, looking at the wolf bèi and emaciated child standing in the shade of the tree, the wound on his neck quickly recovered with a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a faint pink.

Albert understood her words, obviously swallowed his saliva, but still shook his head and refused, "No......"

He looked at the person in front of him, his gaze slowly moving from her gorgeous skirt to her face, just in time for the gentle smiling face and slightly dimmed turquoise eyes, trying to think of words to explain himself, "Agreed...... Don't go, don't go anywhere else. ”

His words were endless, but Jing Hao knew that it was the Holy Maiden of Light who had told him to stay with his stepfather before he died, and not to go anywhere else without permission.

It's nothing more than worrying that he went somewhere else and was found out and died.

Although that stepfather is a bastard, in the eyes of the entire East End, his origins will not be doubted at least.

She respected the saint who insisted on giving birth to the child after the betrayal of her relatives, knowing that the child in front of her would be the best evidence of her humiliating experience, but she still took care of him and did not put those innocent charges on his head.

Don't be angry, it's easy to say, but how many people can do it.

"Okay," Jing Hao took advantage of his height to touch the boy's dirty and clumped hair, and didn't seem to notice that his white palms were rubbed with large stains, "Then I'll still come here every day to bring you food, and you can pick up your own free time to come and get it." ”

Albert glanced at the dirty thing in her hand, then at the water bladder in her hand, and thought of her back when she was protecting her in front of her under the long sword just now, nodded hesitantly, and said "En" in a low voice.

As he walked all the way back to the dilapidated house, the wolf-covered boy was still thinking about her last smile, as warm as the sun he had basked in the previous winter, without the hunger and pain of fire, nor the screams that filled his ears, only the warmth that flowed through his limbs.

And-

He looked down at the water bladder hidden in front of his chest, and there was no trace of it under the cover of his empty clothes, and the warm liquid passed through his skin.

Would anyone give food to others so generously?

The boy hesitated slightly, in a dilapidated house on the side of the road, there was a man and a woman talking against the door, the woman paused when she saw him pause to look at him, shrunk away, and pushed the man who was almost on top of her, "Someone is watching~"

The man looked back, and after seeing his thin body clearly, he laughed contemptuously, lowered his head and pinched the woman who was still refusing, "What are you afraid of, but it's just that your hair hasn't grown, you should take care of Lao Tzu, and don't let Lao Tzu give you food." ”

The two men pushed and shoved towards the room, Albert reached out and pressed it to his chest, the warm water bladder did not shake in the slightest under his steady steps, and it was as quiet as if there was no zài.

So, is that what it means to eat?

Thinking about the problem, he walked to the door, and the snoring inside had disappeared, and all that was left was a few rough voices, interspersed with loud cursing.

The only ones who will come here will be those "friends" of his stepfather.

Albert was thinking about whether to go in now, when the door in front of him was suddenly pushed open, and if he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been smashed in the face, and inside the door was his stepfather, who had a dirty beard covering half of his face, and his breath was full of the foul smell of alcohol, mixed with the stench of various food corrosion.

"Yo, you kid still know to come back, huh? When Lao Tzu woke up, he thought that your kid's wings had grown stiff, so he patted his ass and flew away. ”

The crowd behind him let out an earth-shattering laugh.

"David, what's the use of you raising this little cub, if you have a daughter, you can force her to make some money, just a stinky boy with a few taels of meat on his body, no one will buy it if you want to sell it."

The thinnest and lewd man in the group answered, his eyes still roaming up and down him, and he pouted in disgust at the sight of the stain that could be snapped off his neck.

"Why is it useless," David threw out a doco coin in his hand, and kicked it on his skinny bamboo pole-like calf, "Go get out and get a drink for Lao Tzu, little rabbit." ”

Albert looked down and picked up the Docoin that had fallen into the sludge, turned and sped in the direction of the tavern, leaving behind him a barrage of mockery.

The water in the bladder in his chest kept swaying, hitting his thin chest as if screaming, and his eardrums were swollen and painful.

Someday, someday......

The words vibrated back and forth in his "thump" heart, a pair of dark eyes became more and more dull, and when he suddenly looked up, even the young man on the tavern counter was startled by him, his hands were shaking when he was drinking, and the proprietress on one side was so distressed that she yelled, pulled out a horsewhip and whipped it at him.

He grabbed the full sac and ran out in a burst of chickens and dogs, and it rained outside, and the bean-sized raindrops splashed one small puddle after another on the ground, and the mud droplets splashed quickly on the trouser legs.

The temperature in his arms was getting lower and lower, almost in line with the temperature around him.

Albert couldn't help but run faster again.

He braved the heavy rain to rush into the dilapidated house, but at the doorway he slipped on the rain-soaked ground that leaked from the dilapidated roof, and without holding his center of gravity, he threw himself at the few people who were huddled together to hide from the rain.

He slammed it to the ground, splashing dirty water all over his face, and the wine bag he was holding firmly in his hand cut an arc and smashed directly on the face of David, who was closest to him.

The already tattered wine bag burst open in an instant after being vigorously impacted, and the wine in it spilled David's head and face, wetting his already messy beard and tattered clothes.

"You little bunny!" David snorted violently, picked up a finger-thick wooden stick in his hand and hit the boy on the ground who hadn't gotten up yet, "You dare to do this to Lao Tzu!" Have you forgotten who has been feeding you for so many years, feeding you and raising you wolf-hearted dog lungs who can't make any fart money?! ”

Albert felt the wooden stick swung down by the wind, and intuitively curled up to avoid the point, and the rod that had been smashed down the back of his head hit his lean bulging spine hard, bringing out a suppressed muffled snort.

"You still dare to hide, Lao Tzu let you hide!"

David's rod fell down where he had avoided it, and the man in his prime who had not been deprived of his strength by alcohol was much more ferocious than usual, and he could only roll on the ground in vain to dodge, not even having time to stand up.

"Come on, David, don't even beat a little cub."

"Haha, I'll bet on a lot of coins, David won't be able to beat that little cub today."

"Whoever says it, I'll bet he can hit it."

……

The laughter around him became louder and louder, as if a sharp arrow was coming straight to his ear, and the sharp and rough sound stimulated the person wielding the stick, and he became more and more merciless.

There was a sudden blow to the chest, but the same pain was not transmitted, and even the violent beating stopped.

Albert loosened his arm to protect his head, and slowly opened his eyes to follow the shocked gaze of the crowd - the tattered clothes on his chest had been punched out, revealing the water bladder hidden under the clothes, and the blooming flower on it was stained with blood from the stick, adding a bit of demonic appearance.

After a brief silence, someone finally recognized what was in front of them, and was so surprised that even the tone was a little broken.

"This is the Duke of Tarburis's family coat of arms!"

Several people around looked at each other, and finally stopped their eyes on David, who was still holding a stick, "Your little cub actually dares to go to the duke's house to steal something?" That's the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor! In case it is known, we, we ......"

The speaker did not continue, but the rest of the people were already aware of his unfinished words, and their faces, which were still flushed with the blush of shouting, turned pale instantly, and immediately distanced themselves from David, and ran out of the dilapidated house in a row.

The stick in David's hand fell to the ground out of force, he grabbed the water bladder, and immediately threw the water bladder far away as if his hand was burned by flames, squatted down and strangled the boy's fragile neck, "I killed you, I killed you little rabbit cub, take your corpse and go to the Duke to accuse, he will definitely forgive me, I will kill you!" ”

His hands tightened tighter and tighter, the boy's face quickly turned red, his thin lips glowed with deep purple, and only a pair of dark eyes became deeper and deeper, staring at the man who had gone mad.

It's like a demonic abyss that can absorb people's hearts.

No more kindness, no more mercy.

No more conscience.
