Chapter Forty-Seven: Srizhen (Part II)
"Beggars?" I wondered, "What is a beggar?" ”
Leo said: "That's it, when you are old, sick, or disabled, no one wants to keep them, so you can only ask for food on the street...... Well, you probably haven't seen a beggar since you were a kid. ”
I was even more surprised: "Want food? Why didn't his family care about him? Even if you don't have a family, what about the people in the town? ”
I looked at it, and the people on the side of the road either looked at us or went their own way, and no one cared about this "beggar" at all.
Leo said, "Do you think that everywhere is like your village of Vale, taking in the homeless? ”
I said, "You're talking about Ian?" He's not a beggar......"
Leo said, "I'm not talking about him, but he's pretty much the same...... I guess there are a lot of beggars in Thunder City, too. However, compared to Earth, it is much less...... But that's a different kind of profession to make a fortune......"
I said, "You earth also have a lot of beggars?" Well...... That's for sure, after all, there are so many people crowded in such a small place, there must be no food enough......"
Leo said, "I don't understand what I told you, but on earth, the income of a beggar is ...... Forget it, don't talk about it! ”
Not again.
Every time, I only speak halfway.
I think it might be that he thinks he'll be leaking.
At this moment, Dad suddenly took out a piece of bread from the backpack hanging in his car and brought it to the bowl in front of the beggar.
The beggar widened his eyes in surprise and said in surprise, "Thank you, thank you!" Which village are you a warrior from? ”
Dad whispered, "I'm from Weil Village, uncle, you, what's wrong at home?" ”
The beggar said, "Well, my house is in the stone village to the east, and now it has been burned by the centaurs......"
Dad asked, "Does the mayor care?" ”
The beggar said, "The mayor has allowed me to be here...... It's already good! ”
Dad didn't say anything more, turned around and walked back.
I asked my father, "Why doesn't anyone want to take him in?" ”
Dad shook his head: "Now, the harvest is not good in many places, and the centaurs are making trouble again...... Hey, you don't understand! Anyway, let's leave it alone......"
Leo said: "It seems that the life of the entire Minotaur is not very good......
I said, "Don't say you have a way. ”
Leo said, "Even if there is, it will take time...... If I could directly occupy your body, I would have led the Minotaur to dominate the continent, oh no, at least the entire Kalmdo steppe! ”
I said, "What's the point of such hegemony if you can't even take care of the old man and let him become a beggar?" ”
Leo said, "If I can dominate, I will not let the beggars appear!" ”
I said, "I don't want to dominate, and I want beggars to disappear." ”
Leo said, "Well, you work hard to make this wish come true!" ”
It's getting stranger that he doesn't fight with me anymore.
I followed my father and the others onward, looked back at the old man sitting in the corner, and said, "You're not bad yet." ”
Leo said, "When you grow up, you'll understand." ”
I said, "You can speak in an adult tone." ”
Leo said, "I was originally ...... By the way, you have to be ready for battle! ”
I looked around: "What, it's dangerous?" ”
Leo said, "How is it possible, this is still a Minotaur town, but it's against you...... According to the experience of ordinary traversers, they will definitely meet challengers or something......"
I was curious, but also a little suspicious: "Where did you know all this?" Why is it always expected? Do you know divination? ”
Leo said, "Divination? I haven't learned that thing, but I've seen a lot of the story of the time-traveler, so I naturally know. ”
I said, "Why do all the Crossing Invaders you've seen succeed and what I know fail?" ”
Leo said: "I didn't tell you, there are countless worlds, and there are countless continents...... Multiverse, you'll understand sooner or later! ”
I said, "You're going to say you'll understand when I grow up?" ”
Leo said, "Almost, maybe you'll get to know when you come into contact with a human mage or a warlock or something like that." ”
I probably get it:
Leo's Earth is a place with a large population that is about to burst, they think they are very advanced and powerful, but they always want to invade other worlds, and some of his companions have been successful, but he is more unlucky.
However, from listening to my grandfather's story, I knew that his people had invaded many times, but they had all failed.
In these true and false words, I can understand what kind of place the demon race or the demon world is.
It's more complicated and dangerous than the stories told by grandpa, or in the old trolls' picture books!
Suddenly, something even more terrible came to my mind -
If only Leo was the only intruder!
Thinking of this, I suddenly had a cold shiver all over my body!
My brother looked at me in surprise: "What's wrong Bihong, are you uncomfortable?" ”
I shook my head a little worriedly.
Leo was completely unaware of my concern, and said nonchalantly, "Are you scared?" It's not necessary at all, these people who don't have long eyes to jump out to challenge you are basically some guys who don't have enough power, just to slap you in the face! ”
I wasn't in the mood to ask him "why did you slap your face".
I just looked at the sky worriedly, for fear that another meteor would suddenly fall.
The sun is about to set, and there are slowly fewer people on the road.
Dad also noticed that something was wrong with me and said, "I'm afraid I'm tired, right?" Don't worry, we're out of sales, we'll stay here tonight and go back tomorrow. ”
I said, "It's not that serious." ”
By the time we walked to the mayor's gear shop, sold everything, and settled the accounts, it was already completely dark.
Everyone drove the empty Kodo beast cart to the hotel.
The car was parked in the open space behind the hotel, and everyone went into the store for dinner.
There was a lot of food that I had never seen before, which was eye-opening, but I still didn't have much of an appetite.
Leo was still there and said heartlessly: "Well, it seems that the supplies in the town are quite abundant compared to the village, but unfortunately, they are still too poor. ”
I don't have an appetite anymore.
After eating, Dad and they asked for three rooms, and all ten uncles were crowded into them to sleep, and he and Uncle Sanchi guarded the five Kodo beast carts.
My brother and I were arranged to be crowded with the uncles, and Leo yelled, "This is too cut, isn't it?" So many people crammed into one bed! ”
I really didn't feel sleepy, so I went out and shared the car with my father.
Dad didn't say much, just put a deerskin coat on me.
At night, I lay on the empty car board, staring at the sky in a daze.
Leo said something strange like "the constellations, star charts, and astrological aspects are completely different", and I ignored him.
Dad chatted with Uncle Sanchi, talked about me and Kate, and said, "Bihon...... Hmm, it looks like I'm asleep...... In the future, Kate and the two of them will take over our shift and take the offspring calves around hunting, right? ”
Uncle Sanji said, "It should be Kate and Deni, I think, who may have gone further than Hung." ”
Dad said, "Well, you're saying the same thing as my father...... Really, you can't kill me in a fight, why is your brain a little smarter than mine? ”
Uncle Sanji said: "Actually, everyone can see that this kid Hong has to train his anger earlier than you, and maybe he will be selected by the army of Thunder City...... Hey, did you really sleep? ”
I didn't actually sleep, but I didn't want to pick up their topic, so I had to pretend to be asleep as they wanted.
Dad came over quietly, gave me a push on the shoulder, and said, "Fall asleep......"
Leo laughed: "Haha, that's funny! ”
Dad said proudly: "Our Duen family can finally produce such an amazing character!" ”
They talked a lot, but I didn't remember much.
I just thought I hadn't slept all the time, but when it was almost dawn, I was awakened.
I seemed to be asleep, but I was awake as if I hadn't slept.
I simply sat up.
Uncle Sanji noticed my movement and whispered, "Awake? ”
I nodded, and saw that my dad was still sleeping.
When it was completely dawn, my father woke up, and he cried out as if he were complaining, "Am I asleep?" Why didn't you wake me up? ”
Uncle Sanji smiled and said, "It's okay, you are responsible for the way back today, I'll go make up for it, let's settle it!" ”
After everyone got up, they went to the equipment shop of the mayor's house.
After selling last night, we ordered some weapons and equipment for hunting, and we just received them today to take home.
At this time, a child about my age stopped us: "Which one is Bijon from Ville Village?" I'm going to challenge you! ”
