Chapter 1: Darkness
[[[CP|W:531|H:610|A:C]]]] "What a fool. He cursed fiercely, and the bag in his hand was a little heavy, in this era, people have long been unable to control other people.
The girl opened the bag and was surprised, this was not a small amount of money, she panicked instantly, she had never used these large denomination banknotes in the past, even if she was rich, she would not usually walk on the street with such a large denomination of money.
I'm not afraid of being stolen, what a fool.
However, this reminded the girl's mind of an old landowner who was bankrupt with his young and beautiful wife and planned to flee, or ...... It's almost a whole body possessions.
Although money is not worth much now, as long as you go and change a little food, you can avoid this disaster...... Then he will become a rich man after that.
At this time, don't care about other people's lives or deaths.
When she was a little entangled in her heart, she hurriedly went to hide.
Once you're in hiding, it's time to do something.
She went to buy a little food first, and then immediately hid, and the eyes of the people around her were like beasts, and she was flustered, and if someone found it, it was a trivial matter just to be robbed.
It's not strange to be killed, and then someone will be caught and sold or something, it's scary to think about...... And, of course...... I'm going to get some medicine......
"Ahem......"
She couldn't help coughing, and then snuck to her hiding place.
Normally, it would not be discovered, but it was the ruins of a house, and there was only a gap next to the collapsed building that allowed children to enter, and under the cover of this gap there was an entrance to the basement that was not easy to find.
This is the girl's hiding place.
Although the air here is very poor and dusty, and you often have to be in the company of rats and cockroaches, in fact, rats can be eaten.
Moreover, she drilled a hole a little, which was not easy to rain, but there would be some sunlight, and she removed the sheets as well.
It's shabby and old, but it's good.
At least, it was nice to be able to find such a place to live at this point in time, she was here, hiding all her belongings, there were some other things in it, the result of what she had sorted out for so long, this ruin, only she knows, and she must know it alone, otherwise it will not work.
And to be honest, even if others knew, except for children, a stone of such a size would generally not be able to be touched by anyone at all.
Hiding here, the girl had a little sense of security, she ate something, and then hid in the bed, among the beggars she knew, her life should be considered the best, although it is inevitable that there will be some hunger and cold in the winter, and in the summer it is hot and unbearable, but at least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and there is a good place to take refuge.
She was going to take a break, and then she would have to go out to prepare for the war that could come at any time.
It is impossible for her not to go out once during the war, and during the war, a girl like her will definitely become the target of many people's plunder, and may even be killed directly, at that time, even if it is cannibalism, she has already seen it anyway.
She had just closed her eyes, intending to recuperate for a while, when things changed abruptly.
In an instant, the roaring cannon fire rang out, and the huge sound was endless, she was obviously underground, but suddenly she felt the ground shake, and the ceiling, which was already somewhat tattered, seemed to be about to collapse at any time, and she looked through the small hole......
Screams and flames filled the city, and the sudden arrival of war put everyone who was prepared into trouble.
The nobles who were still planning to flee were already too late, the flames did not recognize people, the guns did not recognize people, and the shouts of killing instantly detonated the audience.
The girl's eyes widened.
The arrival of the war was indeed expected, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly, she was a little uneasy in her heart, but fortunately, there should be no problem hiding here.
She was a little weak-hearted, and at this moment, there was suddenly another explosion, and the fire flew, but the most terrifying thing was that the roof of her basement was also bombarded by artillery fire.
Her face turned white instantly, although she didn't know what kind of building structure she had, but she knew how fragile her hut was, and if it was really bombarded, it would not be strange if it collapsed at any time.
In fact, the constant falling dust on the roof is the best proof of this.
"It's bad luck...... Ahem......"
The dust falling from the roof choked her throat, which made her very painful, her respiratory tract was not good, and she still had to take medicine to live, but now she encountered such a thing.
But in the first place, you have to go out from here.
lest it collapse and there will be nothing.
She ran up and was about to push open the lid of hers when an accident happened.
She couldn't push.
Originally, this cover was already in tatters, and it was not difficult to remove it, but it couldn't be pushed.
She tugged hard at the cover, then ripped it off from the side, and the screw was already unstable, and it was easily pulled off.
After pulling it down, her face instantly turned pale.
On it, the huge rock fell because of the roar of the artillery fire, blocking the way out, no wonder it couldn't be pushed away just now, this stone was one or two heavy, and ordinary people couldn't push it at all.
is sealed.
Sweating coldly, the biggest problem for the girl now is not whether the hidden place will collapse, the collapse is basically dead, no one will take care of the affairs of a homeless child in this kind of place, not to mention that no one knows that there is a basement here, this house is estimated to have been destroyed in the war, how can it be......
She can't get out, and even if she doesn't get blown up, sooner or later she will starve to death, die of thirst, and die of disease.
There was some reserve of water and food, but it wasn't enough to get her out of here.
And now that it's so messy outside, will anyone come here?
The girl tried to shout twice, but unfortunately, as expected, she received no reply.
Her mood darkened a little, and she tried to knock on the stone a few times, only to roll down the stairs due to another small earthquake.
"Pain...... cough ......" As soon as she cried out in pain, she felt a burst of itching and discomfort in her throat, and she couldn't help coughing a few times, and lay on the ground unable to move.
She reached into her arms and took out the medicine she had just bought today, then took out three of them and threw them into her mouth.
I swallowed it, and although there was no water, I still forced it to swallow.
She wants to save these things, even if she can live one more day, the lives of these people are like duckweed, they may be gone at any time, to live one more second is to earn a second, no matter how hard it is, to live, there is hope.
