Nana turned her head to look, but saw a beggar.

It's a woman, about 20 years old, a skirt made purely of patches, the reason why it is said to be a skirt is actually just because there are no pants, and the blouse is simply lengthened, so that it will not be unclothed.

If you don't have shoes, wrap your feet with a cloth to prevent them from being cut by a stone and getting infected.

Unkempt and skinny. Typical beggar.

Nana could see that there were a lot of red sores on her arms and legs, scars, herpes, strings and strings.

Nana knew at a glance that this was a common disease of prostitutes.

It doesn't have to be a full-time prostitute, but there are always times when poor people can't survive, when they are hungry and need money to save them, and at that time, opening their legs is the quickest and least dangerous option.

The woman was so thin that she was pitiful, shriveled, her cheeks were sunken, she was sick, and maybe she had one or two sons with her, while the man died early due to an accident.

The image of a typical low-class unfortunate woman, but she is actually very good, at least she has lived to adulthood, just like the ancient times of a certain world, the rate of infant mortality is always high and frightening, and two or three of the five or six may survive to grow up.

"Are you...... Wait, this voice, is it Meimei? Nana suddenly remembered something, and she was excited in disbelief: "Are you still alive?!" Didn't the Sand Boy Gang kill you all five years ago?! ”

In an instant, emotions surged into her heart, she didn't care about the things that she had originally gone to the Silver Bell Chamber of Commerce to sell items, she stepped forward to help the beggar and hugged each other tightly, but she didn't dare to push too hard, for fear of breaking her bones.

When she really touched the other party, she realized that the other party was not a beggar, because she still had a sewing kit hanging from her waist, and there was no begging bowl or anything else, as for this dress, I am afraid it was for other reasons.

"There's a lot going on...... You're alive too, it's great, it's great......" The woman also cried, but her dry eyes were only red, and she couldn't even secrete tears, because ...... It takes salt to make tears.

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat first, and tell me what happened after that...... How many of you still survived? Nana wiped her tears, pinched the other party's fragile joints, and her heart hurt terribly.

"Let's take it slowly...... I'm very happy, you look good now, I know that you must be the best among us, you have always been the most clever, you have become a professional by self-education, unlike us, you see you now, how good, it's really good. The woman said with red eyes, her tone full of joy.

But Nana's heart was just sour, she found a small shop, first ordered a bowl of meat porridge, asked the other party to fill her stomach first, and then ordered a lot of food.

Seeing what Mei Mei wanted to say, Nana forced a smile and raised her head: "Don't save me money, I have money now, I am the deputy captain of a caravan, with more than a hundred people!" By the way, what are you doing now? ”

"With a caravan? That's nice, that's good, but I'm not bad, I'm a tailor now, and I even have my own shop. ”

Nana and Mei Mei talked a lot while drinking porridge.

It turned out that the original gangster vendetta did not kill everyone, and Mei Mei and another young boy, Kerry, escaped.

But Kerry didn't live long, he was badly injured, and Mei Mei took care of him, but he only lasted two days.

In these two days, Nana did not find a living mouth, so she went into hiding, and spent two months killing the other party's gang, and no one could escape, and she was assassinated in that operation1.

Originally, as a thief, she only had skillful hands 2.

After that, Nana was captured, and finally ransomed by a baron, and became the other party's servant, before and after the saddle, all the way to the Demon King City, from the baron to the military merit.

The two of them have been talking a lot, but basically Nana is talking, Nana has been talking about her own things, and the things in the past five years can't be said at all, especially after meeting the demon king, the things encountered are even more incredible, there are new things every day, I came into contact with many people in Larante, and went to Anliu again, and then joined the caravan, and walked around in the empire, there was the laughter of everyone in the caravan, the anger after being cheated, the hardships and hardships of rushing in the snowy mountains, and the hardships and hardships of almost sliding down, and the achievements when I returned to Anliu with the harvest, And the wonder of seeing so many unknown things.

In this short period of time, she was happier than her entire life before, and although she knew that it was a little out of place now, she couldn't help but smile when she talked about it.

But Meimei didn't feel out of place, on the contrary, she was happy and happy that Nana was living a good life.

After drinking the porridge, Nana packed everything: "Let's go, my business is over, go to your house, I want to hear from you, if you can, do you want to come to my caravan, I can talk to Uncle Da Ta." ”

"But I can't do anything......"

"Aren't you a tailor? We're short of tailors! Walking outside, clothes can easily be torn. ”

The two of them said as they walked towards Meimei's house.

But no matter what, Mei Mei was reluctant to go with Nana, as if she had something to worry about.

After walking for a while, I came to a commercial street, which was similar to the former Larante Market, very dirty and broken, but crowded with people, very lively.

Mei Mei's home is better than the slums, but it is still very shabby, with a few holes in the windows but no wooden planks, and she is the best tailor on this street, because she is a level 1 tailor and a professional person.

But she was poorer than anyone else.

It's not that she's at fault, it's just that she has no husband and has to feed four cubs on her own, and she doesn't allow her children to be thrown away or given away.

Throwing away some children and leaving them to fend for themselves, or giving them to the church to raise is what many poor people do.

"So how do you feed them? Four people! The money to be a tailor is certainly not enough. Nana was a little distressed.

"Actually, it's barely possible." "But I have to get the children to work, my poor darlings, I need more money to pay the rent, or the landlord will kick us out," she sighed. ”

That's why she's the best person on the street, because a lot of people nowadays don't care much about their children and just see them as mouths to be fed or investments to be made later.

"Where do they work? What about the pay? Nana asked with concern.

"There are three of them working for Earle, the steward of the Silver Bell Workshop, and they earn a Silver Star Maple coin a week, which is not much at all, and if Earle comes to buy something from me, he will get a special discount, and I will probably be plundered in the long run...... But there's nothing I can do about it. ”

"Not bad, actually, three silver coins a week is more than you can earn now, anyway, and labor is good for the lads."

Mei Mei sighed again: "Maybe so...... But they were always tired and couldn't eat enough, because he was working for the big guys, and he wasn't paid as much as I would have liked...... These rich people are stingy. They think they are 'holy' and we should serve them for free. ”

When she talked about Nana before, she seemed so happy, but when she talked about her own affairs, she sighed and was very depressed.

Everyone could tell that she was malnourished and suffering from pain.

She loved her child dearly, and it was uncomfortable to see her in such a situation. However, life goes on......

Nana can see that in fact, with her craftsmanship, there is no need to live such a life at all.

There was even a hired person in her shop, a little girl, who helped Nana move all the packaged food to the shabby tailor's shop without saying a word.

Nana is well aware that she is most likely a slave purchased by Meimei.

This is one of the few ways that children in this world can walk......

Either they are sold into slavery, which is the worst of luck.

Or be touched by yourself.

Or be lucky to have a mother like Mei Mei who can get rare care.

The child is both a mother and a slave...... Mei Mei probably treats him as her own child, saying that there are four children, but only three children work outside, and finally this one,

Seeing this, Nana became sentimental again.

"Don't be like that, it's been a lot better lately." Seeing Nana's expression, Mei Mei comforted her.

"What's a good way? Can it be so good that you don't want to come with me? Nana was puzzled, it was clear that there was indeed a lack of a tailor in the caravan, and the wages were definitely better than here, so maybe the work would be much easier.

Speaking of this, Mei Mei looked at her old friend, Nana, who had grown up together in the streets and alleys since she was a child, and was in a small gang together, and seemed to have made up her mind.

She looked at Nana: "What I told you, can you help me keep it a secret?" ”

"Of course, I'll help you keep it a secret!" Nana patted her chest and said.

So, Mei Mei gave all the food to the helper boy, asked him to leave a little for his brothers, and then took Nana to a place.

Then, Nana saw a familiar place.

Federation Workshop.

Mei Mei is still being treated for flower willow disease here, Mei Mei said that she is here to help her with her illness, and she has been helping here recently, tailor skills can help people here a lot, she doesn't want to leave here and follow an unknown caravan out.

It was established just a month ago, and Mei Mei was one of his first members, and it was built here by craftsmen from a royal city with people.

A lot of people have joined.

Nana saw a lot of familiar things, familiar simple classrooms, familiar blast furnaces, familiar atmospheres, familiar thoughts, familiar conversations.

A lot of people are working hard here.

Nana didn't force the other party to leave, she just left half of her money, 46 Star Maple Silver Coins, to Mei Mei, saying that she would come back every year, and hoped that the money could be turned into something else at that time.

Then, she set out on a journey to find the Silver Bell Chamber of Commerce.

Because she felt that her journey had taken on another meaning.
