Preface Dawn

Next Chapter

In the church of St. Trus Yabu, there lives an elderly priest, every time the night comes, he will pile a large glass of hot milk and a few pieces of bread on the statue of the angel next to the fountain, of course, these things will be taken every day, and even more peculiar is the next morning, will leave a clean cup, this tacit understanding lasted for 3 years!

Until one evening, a ragged scavenger knelt in front of the statue in front of the church door, and refused to leave for a long time!

I learned from Sister Sendrey that yesterday afternoon, after doing all the church work, the old priest was baking bread for a friend, and there was milk on the table that was being heated!

The priest had also instructed that if the friend asked, he would say it was leftover from the church!

When the nun heard a loud noise, the old priest collapsed to the ground and convulsed violently, but in the end he still did not survive, and the culprit was the damn congenital heart disease.

She couldn't comfort the other party and said that the priest walked peacefully, but he was entrusted with the matter of loyalty, and transferred "all the inheritance" to the ronin in front of her!

The so-called "inheritance" is actually some loose money and letters that the old priest has saved over the years, which add up to a few silver coins and some copper coins, even in the town where the consumption of Werther is not very high, it can only support a person's poor life for one month!

Of course, everyone knows that the priesthood does not exist for the purpose of making money at all, but for this ronin, no amount of money can compare to the "precious letter"!

But as for what was written in that letter, he never told anyone, but whenever it was the dead of night, he took it out and read it again!

From tears to the corners of the mouth!

Whenever and wherever he is, he will carry a sheepskin notebook with him, although it is a little old, but in terms of workmanship and style, it really does not look like an ordinary person can have! A large number of metal wire wraps, fine and dexterous carvings, crimson and elegant leather! There is even a special steel lock inlaid with rubies!

Strange to say, since the death of the old priest, the ronin no longer makes a living by scavenging, and even got rid of the bad habit of drinking like his life, although he still likes to drink, but he is no longer muddy and sloppy!

Job advertisements were plastered everywhere on the commercial street of Werther Town, and the ronin bought a clean set of clothes for the least amount of money!

But no one is willing to give a homeless man a chance, for two reasons: First, such a person's reputation cannot be guaranteed, and if the prison guards steal by themselves, wouldn't they dig their own grave? Second, he is already so old, and his physical work is certainly not as strong as that of a young man, and if he is sick, he will have to pay out of his own pocket for treatment! Isn't it just that he has an extra father for no reason?

From morning to evening, I visited dozens of shops, and the replies to my refusal were strange! Some of them were kind-hearted and just politely refused! But some of them were scolding! They were bloody! Some of them were short-tempered and not only impatient, but they also had fists and kicks!

The ronin exhausted the last of his strength and smiled, and the last few copper coins in his pocket were clearly to buy new clothes for the job, but the rice had not been eaten until the morning, and the water did not get wet!

The night was dark and starry, and the lights on the streets were gradually extinguished, and he didn't know where he was going or where he could go! Only hunger reminded him that he was still alive!

The old man bowed to the sweet potato vendor on the side of the street, hoping to give him a little, even if it fell on the ground, dirty, or even rotten!

Jiongjiong's eyes revealed sadness, and his calloused and scarred hands were trembling!

There was no suspense, and after a vicious insult from the vendor, he drove the other party away with his feet, but the old man still bowed again, turned around and walked slowly with his head down!

The woods in front of me are pitch black! Even though it's summer, the makeshift tent next to the Loy River will never be able to live anymore! If you catch the wind chill again! I'm afraid you'll really die!

A bonfire was set up in the cave, and he heard that there were hares and other small animals in the woods, but he searched the mountains with sticks, but he saw nothing but birds and mosquitoes! He was bitten and found nothing! The last resort was to eat wild vegetables!

The pan without a handle was found in the garbage can of the Cave Wells! If it hadn't been hidden in a backpack at the time, it would have been snatched by the two bastards Dro and Cassina!

Although it is a little ridiculous to cook things in a frying pan, he has no choice at this moment! Wild mushrooms and wild vegetables, those who are called by name, and those who are not!

Perhaps, at this time, it is more appropriate to use wild grasses and mushrooms! Because he doesn't know if he can eat it, poisonous or not! It's just that his stomach is too hungry at the moment to take care of much! May God bless himself, of course it doesn't matter if he doesn't! There is only one thought in his heart, even if he dies, he must die full!

The next day the sun was shining, and thankfully he didn't die, but he ate so many strange things that he couldn't leave the cave early in the morning!

The Witte Market is still as bustling as ever, and the traffic is the norm! But there is one place that seems to be more lively today, two people are arguing! A group of people are watching!

According to his mouth, this horseman named Wali couldn't stand the intensity of the work and resigned, and the boss was named Shen Sizhuo, a well-known profiteer in the town!

The reason for the dispute between the two is that today is the day of the shipment of goods, and it takes 1 week to come back for the shipment, if it is delayed, then next month's business will be yellow! Shen Sizhuo is engaged in the business of vegetables, grains and oils, so he naturally has to ensure the freshness of the food, otherwise customers will not buy his account!

The old man had a flash of inspiration and took over this hard work in front of everyone! He knew that it was bound to be won, for three reasons, first of all, he saved Shen Sizhuo's face in public, and secondly, he solved his urgent need, and finally, I am afraid that only he would accept such treatment!

However, how shrewd Shen Sizhuo is! He also has the same concerns as others, but he can't help but send the arrow! Although he signed a contract, he has attached many clauses! He has reduced a lot of treatment! He has an account in his heart, and he can neither feed the other party too much, nor let it go too wide! Only by letting him be poor forever can he always be used for his own use!

Of course, how could the ronin not know the prestige of the profiteer! But if he could not seize this opportunity, he would really starve to death in the streets! He could not help but recall the strange smell of weeds and mushrooms, and the embarrassment of the unbearable pain in his abdomen all morning, and he was still more aggrieved, harder, at least there was hope! So he opened the precious letter again!

"I don't have much time, I will help you, may the rest of your life be the dawn!"
