Chapter 281: Saving the Suffering, Saving the Suffering, and Charlopor
The boy who spoke, chestnut-haired and trembling-eyed, had a deep guard in his eyes. He was about twelve or thirteen years old, perhaps because he couldn't keep up with his nutrition, so he looked a little thin, but he was not short. The clothes on his body are very shabby, and they look like they can't be mended, but they are still clean and not sloppy.
As Charlotte observed the children, the children were observing him.
They were very wary and wary of Charlotte, and even quietly gestured for a small child to run back into the house to call someone.
But when they saw Artoria and Alice behind Charlotte, they were relieved. After all, a person with a girl and a girl should not be a bad person. At least I wasn't going to do anything bad.
But when Charlotte said her name, the children were stunned!
Charlotte said, "Hello, my name is Charlotte. I came here to see if there was anyone who could help. ”
"You, you are...... Is that Charlotte-sama? Is that one, that Charlotte-sama? The boy in the lead stumbled with excitement.
What does it mean?
This question confused Charlotte.
How? And now I'm a big guy?
Which Charlotte-sama? How many Charlottes are there?
I can tell you, there can only be one Haonan in Causeway, and there can only be one Charlotte in Helsing, and that is my Charlotte!
…… How can I change my name?
Charlotte replied, "I'm Charlotte." As for whether it's the Charlotte you're talking about, I don't know. ”
The boy asked, "Is it you...... Defeated the Bloody Hand Gang? Saved us? ”
"Ahh That's what you say! The fall of the Bloody Hand Gang does have a lot to do with our Galaxy Rockets. But I don't have much to do...... 99% only! ”
Charlotte was very proud when she said the name of her team, and she didn't feel any shame at all, really. And he was very shameless to put gold on his face.
"It's really you!" The children behind the boy suddenly became excited, and even wanted to lean forward, but they were a little inferior and timid, and they cowered.
It was the boy who stood up first, and he didn't lie in vain at all, and he came over in a few big steps. It's just a big bow, and my head almost hit the ground!
"Ahh What is this for? Charlotte hurriedly held on, afraid that the kid would break his head. Charlotte is just an ordinary person, not one of those big people who are used to being respected. Suddenly receiving this kind of big gift to worship, it's quite empty-hearted.
He never wanted to be a big shot. He just wants to be himself.
Helping the boy up, Charlotte realized that the boy's face was red.
"Thank you, Lord Charlotte, and thank you, all the adults of Team Galactic. Thank you for saving us......"
The boy kept saying thanks, as did the kids behind him. Some of the younger children even cried.
At this time, more children in the house also ran out, all with some homemade weapons in their hands. However, under the boy's explanation, they all understood that the benefactor in front of them was the benefactor who rescued him from the sea of suffering.
Suddenly, the voices of thanks were like waves rising and falling, and they couldn't stand up at all. There were a lot of girls and younger children who cried.
The gossip is all about thanking Charlotte for her words.
When Charlotte saw this scene, the first thing that came to mind was not pride and joy. Instead, I thought of a sentence: The world has been bitter and violent for a long time!
These children have been suffering unspeakably under the torture of the Bloody Hand Gang, and they have been waiting for this day for a long time.
But why didn't anyone help them before?
Is there no justice in this world? Yes! There are many temples, churches, and organizations in those righteous camps.
Is there no hero in this world? Yes! Paladins like Sernsai, and even more powerful adventurers and rangers, their stories are told far and wide.
But why didn't anyone come out to eliminate the Bloody Hand and save these children?
Because the world is different!
They have become accustomed to this state of opposition between good and evil, good and evil. Although those righteous people are punishing evil and promoting good, they know that evil cannot be completely eliminated.
So unless those evil people really do something big, otherwise, those righteous people rarely play with them.
This situation is a microcosm of this world.
Everyone knows that extraterritorial evil gods are not a good thing, but very few actually fight them with their lives. Because everyone knows that there is no way to truly destroy the evil gods outside the territory. So it's just you and I, it's like a turn-based game. You come and go, but you often don't know whether you win or lose......
This is the state of coexistence of good and evil, order and chaos. It is the state of existence of the world.
Charlotte and the others were invited into the house by these enthusiastic children.
Charlotte frowned as soon as they entered.
It's too shabby, it's too shabby! Even if the doors and windows are leaking, there are even cracks in the walls!
There's no way to survive the winter!
There is not much more to say about the house than the four walls and roof that are fairly strong.
The floor was covered with children's tattered bedding, very thin, all rags and thin bedding from summer.
In order to protect from the cold, the ground is covered with sundries such as picked up wooden boards, and as for how much effect it can have, I'm afraid psychological comfort is the biggest effect.
The floor is densely covered, after all, more than 200 children are concentrated in this compound. Although the houses in the yard are not small, and there is a second floor, the place is also very tight.
Some of the younger children were placed in the back of the room, so that they could at least be warmer.
The children happily gathered around Charlotte and did not speak, but watched obediently. Charlotte thought to herself that if the fans of those celebrities were like this, then the world would be much more harmonious.
Charlotte asked the boy at the beginning how things were going here.
"Thank you Lord Charlotte for your concern, it's very nice here. No one watched over us, beat us up, and didn't force us to beg or steal. It's just amazing......"
The chestnut-haired and shiver-eyed boy, named Charles, was one of the leaders of these children. He speaks logically and clearly, politely and insightfully, and is a rare talent.
He was very happy with the current situation. He felt that without the beating and exploitation of the Bloody Hand Gang, his orphans would definitely be able to live better.
Charlotte secretly sighed in her heart that life has given them painful trials, but it has also given them a positive attitude, self-confidence that is not afraid of setbacks and blows, the will to work hard, and the character of unity and friendship.
In the Bloody Hand Gang, children who can't learn to unite will die quickly. Because there is no one to help, maybe that injury, that illness, will die.
In that case, there may be a genius who stands out. But more ordinary children have learned to huddle together to keep warm. When the strength of the individual is not enough to cope with the external environment, we learn to unite.
It's evening, and the children who went out are coming back. They either go out to do odd jobs to earn money, or they go outside the city to hunt and collect firewood. Everyone tries to get themselves moving and be useful as much as they can.
Although these children are miserable, they are very happy now.
Charlotte looked at the thin vegetable soup boiling in the cauldron and was very sad. This thing is a wild vegetable soup with a small amount of various grains and flour.
Charles also carefully took out some large grains of table salt and put them in. Salt is still very expensive in an inland area like Norfolk. But people can't do without salt......
The older children will take the initiative to give some food to the younger children. The girls, on the other hand, would also allocate some food to the boys who needed to go out to do odd jobs and gather, so that they could maintain enough energy.
I knew that Helsin couldn't provide enough food for the children, but that was too little!
But for this, Charles didn't care, and there was no trace of resentment. They didn't complain.
Charlotte could see that they were not pretending, but they were really satisfied and grateful, and did not complain.
Charlotte is more satisfied with these children, knowing self-improvement, knowing gratitude, and knowing proportion.
Charlotte took a large amount of food out of her inventory, with lots of loaves of bread and grain. Charlotte scooped up all the food and set it aside, and the flour and potatoes alone were already piled up!
And those breads are stacked with meats and sausages, giving off an incomparable aroma.
Charlotte seemed to hear the sound of the children swallowing.
"Eat it, everyone! What are you waiting for? ”
