Section 190: A Trip to the Central Province (3)

A long time ago, Marin heard the saying that life is like a journey, and it is not the end that cares, but the scenery along the way.

That's true, but in this hellish world, the scenery along the way can turn into a painful memory at any moment, and as the train passed through the plains of Lodis and reached the town of Gemen, which was close to the central province, Marin in the car shook his head as he watched the flow of refugees along the way.

The northern countries have not been peaceful in the past year, natural disasters and man-made disasters have almost all been completed, the Chaos Sect has held a party with them, and hundreds of thousands of people have died, judging from the accents of the refugees, they are all Yankees.

"I've always felt that Fort Carter was too peaceful." Logan looked at the crowd looking out the window and said, "I've always wanted to leave Fort Carter and see the big city, I don't want to be a hillbilly ......", he smiled and sighed, "I'm sure that if my thoughts were known to them, these people who escaped from the northern metropolis would definitely rush to exchange each other's fates with me." ”

"My father didn't let refugees into the central province, and he must have been worried that there might be seeds of chaos in them." Faye looked at the man walking along the railroad with a large family: "I don't know how they got here, it's a thousand miles away from their hometown. ”

"In order to survive, people often do feats that others can't understand." Marin said as he looked at the color spectrum in front of him, and these refugees had more or less traces of being corrupted by chaos.

Because of the high consumption of psionic energy, Marin quickly canceled the technique, and at this time, a team of mounted police officers came from a distance, and they began to maintain order on horseback.

In Marin's view, Fort Carter might have a place to live, as long as they could work hard – the second phase of the maquiladora took in a lot of refugees, and they cherished the job to support their families, which made Marin change his opinion of the Yankees.

In the past, everyone said that the Yankees, especially the foreign Yankees, were very stubborn and inflexible, but now it seems that in order to survive, people are always stingy to make changes.

Marin was taught that people always need to work to obtain the necessary materials for survival, and that Marin would not regard workers as numbers and work as profits, as he hated, but if he did not work, he would not be able to eat, and the slacker would surely die wherever he was.

"Locust plagues, snow plagues, and chaos invasions, it is obvious that the entire northern border will become very difficult, but then again, our factories have received a large number of orders, and the army of the northern country needs food that can be stored for a long time, do we need to increase the price?" Lilim turned to look at Marlin.

"Let's get married, I'm not the kind of hungry ghost who can break bones with my own hands for a little bone marrow." Marin disagreed: "But I believe that my mentor will make the right choice, let him and Colin deal with it, I believe he will not lead the whole group to hell." ”

This time, Marin made up his mind to go to the central province to play, so it is better to talk less about work.

After the train had filled up with water and coal, and had offered some bread and fresh meat to the dining car and Marin, the train moved on.

Marin gave a check of 10,000 yuan to the local bishop of the Goddess of Harvest Church who rushed to the station, and asked him to be responsible for recruiting some refugees who were willing to work at Fort Carter.

The bishop paid tribute to Marin's generosity, and Marin shook hands with him and said goodbye.

On the way out, Marin saw several children, sitting on the side of the road, with a small sign in front of them clearly indicating each other's values.

Marin stopped, looked at them, and eventually walked away.

He could have saved the kids, but there were hundreds of them along the way, and he just had to stuff the whole train on, and there wasn't enough room to put them down.

And there are not only hundreds of children in this town, but also many more little mouths waiting to be fed, and all Marin can do is stop the bishop, and then hand over a check for 20,000 yuan.

After asking him to take care of the children, Marin finally got on the train that had already started.

"I feel like we should put the money on the city hall's account." Faye smiled as he looked at Marin as he stepped onto the train car.

"It's up to you to take care of it." Marin nodded, and sat down in his place.

"Sometimes I really wonder, your kindness is visible to the naked eye, but you still don't seem to be satisfied with what you have done, Marin, you are a mortal, not those great benevolent people in the legendary realm." Jessica lifted her foot as she looked at the one in her hand and gently kicked the tip of Marlin's shoe, "What are you thinking, Marlin." ”

"I just looked at the kids and felt pitiful for them." Marin was not shy about this, he knew that Jessica was not saying that his good deeds were wrong, and that the werewolf girl just instinctively felt that it was not her turn to take care of all this: "I feel that no matter how hard I try, I can't make all the children in this world hungry." ”

"You've done well enough that in many places children aren't even treated as human beings, and in the eastern provinces, they even allow teenage or twelve-year-olds to do adult work, giving them half the pay, and then calling them human beings." Faye sighed at this: "Marin, sometimes I really wonder where you got these ideas from. ”

Marin didn't answerβ€”that's why he couldn't wait to come out and really see the world, because Fort Carter wasn't good enough in many ways, but in the minds of refugees, the only difference between this place and heaven was probably eternal life.

This made Marlin want to see the outside world with his own eyes, and what was the difference between it and hell.

"Marlin." Faye sat down beside him.

"From my dream." Marin saw the curiosity on this girl's face, and in the end he could only make up one.

"You're lying." Faye bit Marin, frowned, and then shook his head again: "My heart tells me that you didn't lie to me. ”

"Of course, I didn't lie to you, this is my current story." Marin smiled and reached out to pinch Faye's face, and then was bitten by the girl.

Marin wasn't angry, he just finished biting the girl, and then reached out and rubbed her head.

"I know, you said you were hungry when you were picked up by Gayat." Faye looked at Marin and said.

"Yes, I'm hungry, I have a big head of black bread, I ate two in one go, and I was only four points full." Marin mentioned his past and smiled a little awkwardly.

To this day, Marin regards that day as the day he misses the most, on that day, he has a nominal father, and also has a sister who is beyond blood, all along, Marin has no home, the orphanage when he was a child was demolished, and her childhood sweetheart died, and everyone who once lived together in the courtyard was scattered.

For Marin, for a long time, home was just the sixty square meters he lived in.

It wasn't until that day that the home was complete, so when he realized that he was far more powerful than he had ever been, he was desperate to prove that he could indeed give to children who were in a similar situation...... Get a better life.

At least...... You can also eat enough.

"We're all going to have your back." Faye looked at Marin: "I was born in the Morvis family, in the eyes of others, this should be a very happy life, but who would have thought that I am just a commodity in the eyes of those so-called nobles...... Until now, I hated that home in the Central Province, I spent my childhood in Parol, and when I grew up I came to Fort Carter, and the gods had mercy on me, and let my dreams come true, and let me see you. So, if you want to help those poor children, I will help you too. ”

"Haven't you been helping me all the time?" Marin said with a smile.

"We just think if we don't remind you, you'll forget." After Faye finished speaking, he snorted, and at the same time, the girl suddenly raised her ears: "What sound?" ”

"What sound?" Marlin pricked up his ears and could only hear the wheels rolling.

Lilim listened for a moment and shook her head: "I can't hear anything, I only hear the sound of wheels." ”

"I didn't hear anything." Jessica looked around, then continued to look at the book in her hand.

Marlin glanced at her, "Jessica." ”

"What? Are you suspecting that voice came from me? How could it be! I didn't hear anything! The wolf girl's eyes widened.

Marin pointed to the notebook in her hand, "I mean to say, you took the book down." ”

The wolf girl hurriedly flipped the book over once.

Marlin stood beside the wolf girl and picked her up from her seat.

Faye lifted the cushion and saw three cubs gobbling up in the mezzanine below.

The atmosphere froze like never before, and Lilim looked at Jessica as if she saw a trafficker.

Cross calculated in her heart: "If you calculate according to the price of the underground guild, these three little cubs probably won't be able to sell for a good price." ”

"Hey, why do you say that?" Lilim expressed a certain curiosity.

"It's too thin, if I were the boss, I wouldn't be able to spend half the money to get them to do the work that only the big ones can do, because they're going to die soon, and I'm going to lose all my money." Cross said as she noticed a sudden hiccup from one of the little guys: "He's choking." ”

Marin tossed the wolf girl aside, picked up the little thing and began to pat him on the back, then helped him take a few sips of water.

"You were just saying that Marin was too merciful." Faye looked at Jessica with a solemn expression: "How can you be so different, where did these three children come from!" Their mother is not looking for them! ”

"Yes, I bought it!" The wolf girl scratched her head, then took out the proof of purchase from her pocket: "Look, this is the certificate issued over there, I just think they are so pitiful, I originally wanted to give them some to eat, and when I got back to Fort Carter, I sent them to the orphanage." ”

"We're going to the Central Province, not to Fort Carter." Faye said this and looked at Marin: "You are in charge of this matter, Mr. Marin, you must teach this duplicitous big-tailed wolf a lesson." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Then let her take care of these three children. Marin gave such a punishment.

"Won't you drive us away?" A child who had eaten enough looked up and asked Marlin.

"Yes, as much as I'd love to get you back to your parents, but now that the train has left town, and you're your sister Jessica's belongings, so...... We've decided not to get rid of you, but we're going to let your sister Jessica take care of you until you can take care of yourselves. Marin said, looking at the three children.

After saying that, Marlin turned his head to look at Jessica, "Do you think it's fair for me to do this?" ”

"Thank you." The wolf girl said with a grateful face.

"Don't thank me just yet, remember, if you're hungry for them, I'll kick you out of the house, you know." After Marin finished speaking, as for the future of the three children, Marin would also look at Jessica, no matter what she did, Marin would give the three children enough care.
