Chapter 308: Grace will take revenge
As the sound of footsteps came from far and near, a slightly rich aunt also walked out of the corner.
From the first time I saw this aunt, Xing Xiaotian didn't have a good impression, because almost all of the men and women, old and young, all of them looked thin, only this aunt's unusually plump, and the skin was slightly white, plump means that the food is sufficient, and the white complexion means that she has not been exposed to the sun for a long time.
Where is this?
It's a slum!
You don't go out hunting and you can still raise yourself for nothing, either you have strong relatives to take care of her, or ..................
"Yo~~ Who was I at the time, our big savior still knows to come back?"
As Xing Xiaotian expected, this middle-aged man spoke in a snarky tone as soon as he opened his mouth, and then stepped forward quickly with a stretched face, grabbed Celia and then pulled it back violently, and dragged Celia so hard that she almost didn't fall to the ground, she didn't even look at Celia, and at the same time counted without looking back: "Eat, eat, you know to eat, there is no food at home, don't you know?" You've eaten it all, do you want your whole family to starve to death? This seems to be counting Celia, but in fact it is for Sophia to hear again.
The smile that just appeared instantly froze on Sophia's face, and she almost wanted to argue, but finally sighed and explained: "Aunt Bloom, I have already paid off the debt of the grain bank, they will not come to collect the debt, it won't be long before we have food to eat." â
Sophia has obviously said this many times, so that the aunt in front of her did not have a surprised expression at all, but replied with a smiling expression: "Hehe, Miss Sophia, you have a lot of adults, don't be like me, an old woman in the countryside." I don't have a doorkeeper in my mouth, don't mind, I really don't mean to complain about you. If we can't eat, we deserve it, who calls us stupid. I believe everything others say, hehehe...... Look at my mouth, I can't control it, don't mind. â
This meal with a gun and a stick, let alone Sophia, even Xing Xiaotian was bored when he heard it, but there was a fire and it was released, just like this aunt said, you can't be a strong man at the iron and blood level with a country aunt, right?
The warm scene just now was poured with this basin of cold water. Sophia no longer had her initial smile, and after handing out the chocolates in her hand with a wry smile, she walked forward without looking back.
These children sensibly followed behind Sophia, and they were all silent, as if they were showing their support for Sophia's big sister with their own actions.
The further he went, the more crowds Xing Xiaotian saw, and to his surprise, most of them were sitting in the shadows in the corner, all of them were bored, and some of the neighbors were still laughing in low voices, but for Sophia, who passed through the middle of the road. Everyone chose to ignore it, and there were even some cold eyes and resentful glances swept towards her.
After seeing this situation, Xing Xiaotian didn't know about it. These people are gone, they have been raised by Sophia as rice worms, their spirit is not as good as the mean aunt outside, they are just a group of poor worms who store their hope of survival in others.
In the past, Xing Xiaotian had only heard of "Grace Will Take Revenge", but he didn't expect to see this real scene today.
Perhaps when Sophia first received them, they would be grateful to Sophia, and even regard her as a saint who saved the world, but as time passed, the feeling of this gift gradually faded in their hearts. Even accustomed to it, and with the depletion of Sophia's financial resources. With the decay of the aid, these people even began to resent Sophia.
They don't think about Sophia's current difficulties. Only stubbornly thinks: since you can help us before? Why can't you help now?
Ridiculous thoughts, pathetic people, deserve to starve!
Even the children outside know to go to the wild to catch grass rats, but they only know to sit here and wait for other people's relief, at first Xing Xiaotian was a little unbearable about his previous plan, but when he saw these people, the only little unbearable disappeared, who did not use this kind of forcing people not to block the gun?
They are born to block the muzzle of the gun, and to save zĂ i in this world!!
After walking through this filthy alley for more than ten minutes, Sophia took Xing Xiaotian to a simple wooden building, which was Sophia's home in Rock City.
It's simple, but the most annoying thing is ~~ Xing Xiaotian also saw a lot of dried urine marks and air-dried stool on the wooden wall, and he couldn't wait to walk in to smell a smoky smell, he didn't understand, how could there be such a person in the world, and you guys still made a mistake? Sophia, what kind of white-eyed wolves are she raised?
With Sophia's loss, she couldn't help blushing before she walked into the house, which was why she was reluctant to invite Xing Xiaotian to sit at home before.
"Hehe, the conditions are a little simpler, come in and sit!"
True friends will never make each other ugly, Xing Xiaotian naturally made a calm look and pushed the door out.
The house is surrounded by walls, this is the most conservative comment Xing Xiaotian can give, there is nothing in the empty wooden house, only two chairs and a wooden staircase that goes straight up to the second floor, Sophia can last so long in this situation, it is really difficult for her, as a friend, Xing Xiaotian feels that there are some things he can't help but say.
Xing Xiaotian hugged Sophia's shoulders, then pressed her to sit on a chair, and then pulled another chair himself and sat opposite her.
Sophia forced a laugh at first, but was soon defeated by Xing Xiaotian's gaze, and looked away with a dodgy gaze.
"Sophia, you are my friend even if you are my teacher, there are some things you may not want to hear, but I still have to talk to you, you can't go on like this!"
After a short silence, Sophia said in dismay, "...... I know it, but I can't leave them alone, and if it weren't for me, they wouldn't be where they are today! â
"Yes, I don't deny that, but have you ever thought that if it weren't for you, these people would have died a long time ago, there is a proverb in our country, called: Rescue the emergency does not help the poor! You can help people for a while, but you can't help them for a lifetime, the chicks can only fly to the blue sky when they leave the nest, and you always control them will only make them lose their enterprising spirit. I say something I shouldn't say, what would they do if you suddenly died that day? Do you think they'll be sorry? Will you miss what you've done for them? Don't be funny, I don't even believe me, an outsider who has just arrived in Rock City, not many people will remember you, let it go! â
"............" Sophia fell into a long silence, as if thinking about Xing Xiaotian's words.
From her hesitant expression, it can be seen that she is still hesitating in her heart, a gentleman can be bullied, and she is talking about people like Sophia.
When it came to this, Xing Xiaotian had to add another weight and said: "I know there are many people here that you can't let go, if you want, you can take them to Blackstone City with you, as for the others, you don't have to worry, I have my own arrangements." â
When others said this, Sophia might not believe it, but she saw with her own eyes how much gold was hidden in Xing Xiaotian's storage ring, and immediately couldn't help but ask, "How do you plan to arrange them?" â
"I know there's an ancient relic in the Kordu Moor, and I'm sure there's a lot of treasure in it, but I don't have enough people to develop it. Now, most of the people on your side are idle, and I can hire them to help me develop the ruins, and I assure you that there is absolutely no danger in the process of exploitation, and I will buy the items they have developed nearby, so that I can get the supplies and your people find a livelihood, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? â
"This ...... It's true? â
"Hehe, of course it's true!"
After listening to Xing Xiaotian's narration, Sophia finally leaned back with relief, clear tears slid down the corners of her eyes, she was too tired to carry this burden, and now she can finally let go.
The only problem was that Sophia didn't notice the flash of murder in Xing Xiaotian's eyes. (To be continued)
