Chapter 49: Henry and White

There is a very strange phenomenon in the city of Táchira, except for the area around the Santa Maria Church in the city center, the west, south and north districts are also very prosperous, but the east side is terrifyingly quiet, no one does business here, and no one wants to come here.

Compared to the rest of the city, the eastern district is a bit desolate, with most of the buildings old and many thatched huts that are not planned. The whole area is lifeless, as if it were a forgotten corner.

But there are many people who stay here, basically out of desperation, such as refugees, who account for a large proportion of them.

No one wants to stay here, they all want to get out of this place as soon as possible! However, the reality is very cruel, they have long lost their homes, and if it weren't for the fact that someone receives food every once in a while, it would be difficult for them to survive until now...

The location of this mission is in a remote area in the Eastern Side, and Jarrow went to the magic house and rushed to this place. However, as soon as he arrived at the edge of the Eastern District, he saw many illegal buildings, and many of the streets marked on the map had been blocked by simple houses.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Jarrow couldn't have believed that there would be such a marginalized area in the city. He vaguely remembered that when he went out of the city to crusade against the slime, the streets to the east gate were still very lively, so how could there be such a scene?

As early as half a month ago, he really wanted to get in touch with the ordinary people in the city, but he had been busy cultivating and forgot about it, but now seeing that most of the people here were not angry, he was very puzzled: what happened to them? Well? What the hell are those people doing?

Around the corner in front of the street, several men surrounded a teenager, and because of the distance, Jarrow didn't know what was going on, but listening to their conversation, he could roughly guess what was going on.

The boy was blonde and blue-eyed, with baggy white short sleeves and dark blue suspenders, and even though he looked a little dirty, he still looked very energetic.

And the people around this young man are all ruffians, and when they have nothing to do, they will come to bully him. If it were another period, the teenager would have endured, but today was very different: "Get out, I'm in a hurry, I don't want to quarrel with you!" Before I get angry.."

Before he finished speaking, the young man was kicked away by a ruffian with a bad attitude: "Little ghost, do you still understand the rules?" Here, I am the king, and I beg you to hurry up and hand over the food you brought the other day, so that you can save a beating! ”

"Uh, boss, you're too kind, aren't you? This little ghost will only hide the food in that crack in the wall, we just can't just go and get it! ”

Even if the boy was kicked away, his hands were always in his arms, as if there was something important in his arms: "Damn! I said yesterday that I had already eaten all the food, why don't you believe it? ”

"Little ghost, you're too bad at making excuses, are you? Just you.. Well? What do you carry in your arms? Hand it over! ”

The boy didn't have anything in his hand, just a small creature hidden under his clothes. Perhaps suffocated, the little creature continued to squeak weakly.

The boy wanted to stand up, but he was kicked and it was difficult for him to slow down. Seeing that the five ruffians in front of him were all smiling evilly, he was very angry: I finally survived until now, do I really want to die here?

Jarrow could not continue to watch, and when the boy was about to be dragged up, he said loudly, "What are you doing here?" Bullying a child... What a skill! If you have the ability, then come and bully me! ”

The city of Táchira not only has laws that bind adventurers, but also laws that bind and protect ordinary people. He blatantly bullied a child, and if he was elsewhere, he would definitely be arrested by the guards. The ruffians were so fearless before, I think they must have understood that the guards would not come to patrol.

Jarrow's strange outfit has long attracted people's attention. Now that he wants to meddle in idle affairs, those who are secretly watching are very curious, who is this guy? Why is he here?

"Huh? Where did it come from.."

"Boss, please look at the shoes under his feet, they should be worth a lot of money! And the bone hanging from his waist, he's definitely an adventurer! We can't afford to mess with us, so let's get out of the way! ”

The ruffian will be suspicious, in the eyes of ordinary people, adventurers are a group of detached guys, so how could they come to such a place?

"Hmph, little ghost, you're in luck this time! Little ones, let's go! ”

Seeing that the ruffians left very familiarly, Jia Luo didn't embarrass them, stepped forward to help the young man, and he said lightly: "Boy, those people have left, why are you still closing your eyes?" ”

After all, he is just a teenager, and his nutrition can't keep up, and his body is too weak. Seeing that he was in poor shape, Jarrow shoved a small candy into his mouth.

The candy is called Bouncing Candy, and under the simple wrapping paper, the whole body is light purple, and it is a magic consumable. Because it can speed up the recovery of mana, Jarrow bought a bag by the way when he went to the magic house!

It's very expensive, there are only 20 pieces in a bag, but it costs 80 copper!

But as soon as he left the magic house, he regretted buying it! After all, he can't eat it, and the bouncing candy has little effect on adventurers other than magicians, and can only rot in his hands in the end!

He would stuff candy for the boy to eat, all because he had no other food on him. Just stuffed it in, it was almost swallowed by the young man: "Be careful of choking!" ”

Jarrow still had something to do, and when he saw that the boy was relieved, he didn't want to delay any longer, but he just wanted to leave, but was stopped by the boy: "Big brother, my good friend is sick, but I don't know where to go..." Belch! Worst! White, please hold on! Big brother, please save it! Don't care about being a cow or a horse, as long as you.."

It was a little mouse, its hair had not yet grown, it was only slightly larger than the tip of its thumb, and it was difficult to even open its eyes, and it looked like it had just been born!

The rat pups are weak and look like they are going to die at any moment! It was held in the palm of the boy's hand, and its small pink head kept exploring Jarrow's pocket, as if something had attracted it.

Jarrow is not a veterinarian, let alone knows healing magic, and when he saw that the boy was about to kneel, he stopped: "Don't! Did you feel when you ate that candy just now? ”

"Feelings? Well.. It's sweet, big brother, you.."

Now Jarrow is no longer a layman, and when he first saw the white mouse cub, he saw that it was a monster. So he crushed the bouncing candy and slowly fed it to the mice named White.

Seeing that White was better, the boy was very happy: "Big brother, thank you very much!" You still have .."

"Take them all! Remember to crush the sugar and feed it to the little one slowly. Boy, what's your name? ”

"Big brother.. No, great benefactor, my name is Henry, I am 7 years old, thank you for rescuing White, please accept my worship! ”

"Words of thanks... Or are you going to live around here? What about your parents? ”

"Well, my parents died three years ago, at the hands of monsters. Great benefactor, what are you doing here? ”

He's the only one left? Still have to take care of weak mice?

After a moment of silence, Jarrow took out the apprenticeship wooden sign from his arms: "It's hard for you to take care of the little guy now, you might as well come to my dormitory to live!" I still have something to do, this wooden sign can take you there, take it! ”

"But..."

"Don't do it, when you get to the place, remember to talk to the mother-in-law who is guarding the first floor, she will settle you down!"

Jarrow had been delayed for too long, and as soon as Henry, who was weeping with joy, had gone away, he stepped up. After about twenty minutes, he finally arrived at the meeting place: "Jarrow, you must be too slow!" Charles went back to the dormitory, he arrived earlier than you, what the hell is going on with you? ”
