Chapter 21: The Bread of the Rio Manor (Part II)

"Woo, Mom, Dad, Betty is really useless, my brother is going to die, Woo. ”

Tick tock.

From time to time, water droplets fell from the gloomy and damp alley, and some of them hit Betty's body gently, which was probably the only thing that could comfort her.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem. Suddenly, a sharp cough came out.

The sound came from the boy lying on the small four-wheeled scooter, estimated to be only seven or eight years old, with a sickly face, the whole person looked thin, his skin was scattered with lumpy protruding white spots, and his short brown hair was wet, and his appearance was a little scary.

What was even more terrifying was that the little boy's legs were so swollen that they were thicker than an adult's, because of this, he was completely incapacitated.

The bloated legs were earthy yellow and covered with cracks, completely out of place with the rest of the little boy's body.

"Busso, I'm my sister, how are you. ”

Betty hurriedly crouched down in front of the cart, she was in a hurry, because her brother was always half asleep.

"Sister, sister, I'm so cold and hungry, why can't I see you, where are you, sister. The little boy was in a hurry, and he tried to reach out, but he couldn't.

"Here, my sister has always been here. Betty grabbed Busso's hand, she didn't know what to do.

"Sister, sister, am I going to die?" the little boy asked weakly, holding Betty's hand tightly.

"No, Busso, you'll be fine, trust sister, you'll be fine. ”

"Uh-huh, sister, I believe in you. ”

It wasn't long before the boy fell into a coma again, Betty stood up weakly, and she suddenly noticed a bag of things not far from the pipe where she had just been.

Betty remembered very well that there was nothing in the previous position, and she could more or less guess what was wrapped in it, and the kind of paper used to wrap bread was not unfamiliar.

Trembling as she picked up the bag, Betty didn't hurry to open it, she immediately rushed out of the alley, trying to find the kind man among the pedestrians who came and went.

The ending was destined to disappoint her, and by this time the good Samaritan had long since disappeared.

"Thank you, good Samaritan, and I wish you a safe life. ”

Betty had tears on her face, and she sincerely blessed the good Samaritan, but at the same time regretted that since she had given herself food, why didn't she show more mercy and save her brother.

The answer to where the good Samaritans have gone may be in the two people who are rushing to the West End, but it is clear that they do not need Betty's gratitude.

"I wonder why you gave them bread, it was our lunch. Mus, who was in a silent hurry, didn't even look at Shura beside him, and said lightly.

Mauss did not stop Shura from leaving the bread there in front of the alley on his own initiative, and he chose to ask questions at this time.

"I'm sorry, I don't have to eat at noon. ”

Realizing his mistake, Shura lowered his head, quietly admitted his mistake, and was ready to suffer the consequences.

"Actually, I don't blame you for giving the bread to that girl, you know, sometimes helping someone is equivalent to killing her, have you ever thought about what will happen if someone else finds out about that bag of food?"

Hearing Maus's words, Shura looked at him with a little uneasiness, wanting to open her mouth but not knowing what to say, and at this moment, she suddenly felt that she had done something very stupid.

"They are so weak that they may lose their lives because of that packet of food, and they will die sooner or later, but I think most of them want to die quietly. ”

"I, I was wrong, I don't know what to do. ”

Shura's sobs came from beside him, and Mauss had a helpless smile on his face, he didn't feel that his words were excessive, because survival was a cruel thing.

"Listen, we don't need too much kindness, that's equivalent to giving others the opportunity to hurt us, you have to learn to control yourself, otherwise I think you will have to withdraw from my sight sooner or later. ”

Shura needed some time to understand Maus's words, and she nodded vigorously.

Towards noon, Mause and Shura arrived at the Rio Manor, which was in ruins, but came here during the day and at night.

The terrible signs of destruction all show the dragon's might, and perhaps there are many remains buried in the ruins, because the monster completely destroyed the Rio Manor in a short period of time.

After coming here, Shura's expression changed completely, the fear in her heart was spreading, and the terrible picture in her mind was forming, and she didn't dare to face it squarely.

"I think you know better than anything what the Rio estate used to look like, it's so ugly now, you really should take a good look. Mauss preached earnestly.

"No, it's terrible. ”

Shura's expression was in pain, and she was fighting fiercely.

"You have to overcome your fears and face up to this place, because we are going to live here. ”

"I'm so uncomfortable, I can't breathe, shall we get out of here?"

"These are temporary, not terrible things, defeat them and you will be liberated, don't forget how you used to be, if you can't get used to it, then I'm sorry, I'll abandon you and let you go to the dark and starving days of the past. ”

"Don't abandon me. ”

"Then prove it to me!"

"Mmmm, I'll try, don't abandon me. Maus's words scared Shura, she didn't want to be abandoned.

Maus found a random place to sit down, he looked at Shura quietly, he had said everything he had to say, and the rest was up to her.

Shura breathed heavily, and she began to try to see the ruins with her eyes, constantly hovering between closing her eyes and opening them.

"I can do it, I can do it, Dad, they are all watching over me in heaven. ”

Shura kept cheering herself up in her heart, she knew very well that Maus must have been watching this place, and he was also waiting for his performance.

Gradually, it took longer to open his eyes, and at the same time feeling that the image in his mind was not so scary, Shura began to try to move.

She wanted to find every corner of that beautiful manor in her memory.

Maus, who was not far away, smiled, and quickly withdrew his gaze, it was already past noon, and Obotov did not appear, and he could not help but be worried.

"Let's wait and see. ”

Mauss made a mental decision, if Obotov didn't show up for a long time, he decided to visit the Eastern Defense Post again.

Two hours later, Shura came to Maus, and she squirmed, "I'm not afraid of this place, really, you won't abandon me." ”

"It's not bad for the time being, then let's go, it's time to buy some bread." ”

Maus whispered a word, then turned around and walked directly towards the outside of the manor, Shura saw this, hurriedly followed, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
