When Dylan followed Jerry to his house, Dylan couldn't help but be stunned, because the house was so dilapidated that the windows were half destroyed and could barely block the wind and rain.

It was hard for Dylan to imagine how these two children could survive the cold winter of Ghahneman in such a house.

You must know that the city of the north wind is originally located in the northern part of the Ganeman Empire, and the winters here are cold and long, often with heavy snow for several days.

After entering the room, Dylan felt a chill even more.

"Why isn't it warm outside in the house?" Dylan was a little surprised.

I saw that the low room was extremely simple, with a dilapidated wooden bed, a stained wooden table, and two low chairs.

At this time, Jenny was lying on the bed, with a painful look on his face and a pale face.

Dylan walked forward quickly and touched his forehead, it was hot. He touched the already tattered quilt again, completely soaked with Jenny's sweat.

"I think I have a fever, and it's serious. Dylan suddenly had a judgment in his mind.

He turned to Jerry and said, "Jerry, don't worry, I'll go out and get some alchemy medicine, you wait at home." ”

Although Jerry was very young, he was very sensible and obedient, and nodded his head in agreement.

Dylan quickly went to the alchemy shop in the city of North Wind and bought some alchemy medicine for fever and cold, and gave it to Jenny.

After doing all this, Dylan watched Jenny's painful expression gradually dissipate, and then slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Dylan deliberately mixed a hint of calming herbs into the alchemical medicine to allow Jenny to fall asleep more quickly, so as to alleviate his pain.

Dylan turned to look at Jerry and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on, why did your brother suddenly have a high fever?"

Jerry's eyes flickered, his expression panicked, and a pair of small hands clutched the slightly shabby cotton coat tightly.

"If you don't, I'll leave your brother alone!" Dylan stood up and pretended to leave.

Jerry suddenly cried anxiously, but he was afraid that he would wake up his brother, who had finally fallen asleep, and the tears kept falling, but he didn't dare to cry, and his little face was red for a while, and his face was full of tears.

When Dylan saw this picture, where could he stand it? Hurriedly walked over, comforted him softly, comforted him for a long time, and repeatedly promised that he would never let the two brothers go, and Jerry stopped crying and slowly stabilized his mood.

"Brother, he went to catch fish in the river outside the city early this morning!" Jerry whispered.

"Catch fish?" Dylan was stunned, you must know that although the current Garneman Empire is already in the middle of spring, but the north wind city is in the north of the empire after all, and the winter here is still very cold.

Not to mention the river water in the morning, it was even more cold and biting, and with Jenny's physique, it was impossible to go down to the river early in the morning to catch fish without a fever.

"Why does your brother have to go down to the river early in the morning to fish?" asked Dylan softly.

At this time, seeing that Jenny had fallen asleep, Jerry no longer hid it, and he said with an aggrieved face: "My brother and I had no parents when we were very young. I heard my brother say that my father and mother were originally medicine farmers who collected herbs, and then once went to the snowy mountains to collect rare herbs, but unfortunately they were drowned by an avalanche, and in the end they did not even find their bodies. ”

"At that time, my brother and I were orphans. However, I heard from my brother that when my father and mother were alive, I always had a good relationship with my neighbors. So after the accident with my parents, the neighbors have been taking good care of my two brothers. Moreover, our friends never laughed at us. ”

"It's just that a few days ago, the tax collector in the city came to collect the tax, and our two brothers didn't have anything to hand in at all, so the neighbors helped us pay it. But my brother always didn't want to go, and always felt that he owed them too much, so he decided, and decided to ......"

The next words, Jerry doesn't need to say much, Dylan already understands. Unexpectedly, although Jenny is thin, he is so strong, and at such a young age, he is already very responsible, not only responsible for raising his younger brother, but also knowing that he will repay his kindness and never take the neighbors' charity in vain.

Thinking of such a difficult life for the two brothers, Dylan felt a sense of sadness and distress, he couldn't help but touch Jerry's head, and said softly: "You don't have to suffer like this in the future." ”

Jerry's big smart eyes flickered as he looked at Dylan, his eyes full of doubt.

Dylan couldn't help frowning, he never expected that the two brothers, who usually looked very cheerful and lively, would have such a difficult life. And, even so, Jenny still has a sincere heart for the soldiers of the Legion, has always been very yearning and admiration, and has not lost hope for the future.

But at the same time, there was some anger in his heart, could it be that his father had always ignored the lives of these civilians in the city?

Seeing that the two brothers had been appeased, Dylan handed little Jerry a gold coin before leaving, asking him to keep it and wait until Jenny woke up before handing it to his brother.

Who would have thought that before Jerry could wake up, he would excitedly stuff the gold coin under Jenny's pillow, and then he didn't forget to look out the door with a wary face, for fear of being seen.

It was a gold coin, and the two brothers had never seen a gold coin before! It was worth the brothers' expenses for a long time.

Before leaving, Dylan picked up the two small fish at the door and said to Jerry, "You just tell your brother that I bought these two fish from him." ”

Jerry looked at Dylan away with excitement and adoration, and then bowed deeply to him.

After Dylan walked out of Jenny's house, he walked straight to his castle. He had always wondered in his heart that with his father's character, he should not make it too difficult for the people in the city, so he wanted to ask what was going on.

Just as he was about to enter the castle, he suddenly heard Max's voice coming from a small attic nearby.

"How's the tax burden going this year?" is clearly Max speaking.

Another voice replied: "It's not enough, the amount requested above this time is too large, but our harvest in North Wind City this year is not very good, and there is still a big gap that cannot be filled." Grand Steward Max, shall we inform the city lord and let him think of a way?"

Max's voice suddenly became stern: "No, the city lord has more important things to do, how can these things disturb him?" Don't worry, I'll figure out how to deal with this matter!"

Hearing this, Dylan finally knew what was going on.
