saved.

Lorraine didn't sleep all night, clutching the gold coin in her palm and keeping her eyes open until the next day. She couldn't sleep, her mind was booming, she didn't know what she was thinking—the scene of the gold coins being tossed at the back door of the tavern was just a recurring.

When she heard the owner of the inn walk into the basement to collect the rent, Lorraine realized that the night had passed. She rose from the thatch that lay on the ground and carefully opened the door to the small cubicle.

The air in the basement is cloudy and there is zero light. The innkeeper carried an oil lamp, kicked the door of each cubicle with his foot, and shouted cursedly: "Get up, poor ghosts, the time has come to pay the rent." If you don't have any money, get out of here. ”

There were two stout men behind the boss, who were also vicious. They have never been soft on the poor, they fight when they can't collect rent, and any pleas are useless, and they just throw people on the street and let them freeze and starve to death.

Every compartment in the basement of the hotel was crowded with people, and there was no dignity or honour to live in such a place. But many people can't even afford the rent of five copper coins a day, so they have to kneel in vain to make the boss show mercy.

Noises and cries come and go, mingling and repeating every day. Until a crisp voice stood up and shouted: "Boss, I will pay the rent of everyone here." ”

What the?

The innkeeper turned his head and lifted the oil lamp to illuminate an emaciated boy and a bright yellow coin in his palm.

of gold.

"Boy, where did you steal it from?" The innkeeper scolded loudly and reached out to grab it. The two stout men behind him also widened their eyes and were about to step forward and push.

The emaciated Lorraine stood still, but cried out: "Take away your dirty hands, I get a very good job, this is the advance I get." There's a nobleman who has shown me a favor, and you dare to try it? ”

In the hierarchical Otherworld, there is a huge chasm separating nobles and commoners. There were a whole bunch of laws and regulations against the commoners, but the aristocracy had the privilege of ignoring those terrible constraints.

The innkeeper's outstretched hand stopped, looked at the gold coins, and then at the emaciated boy's confident face, and did not dare to make a mistake for a moment. Lorraine sneered disdainfully, and threw out the hard-won gold coin......

It's so cool, it turns out that the condescending gift is so cool!

It was the first time that Lorraine's family had seen a gold coin, and now she threw it out, and it was even more imposing. She was obviously shorter than the innkeeper, but at the moment she was tall and arrogant, and she felt that everyone in front of her was a head lower than her.

The innkeeper stretched out his hands to take the gold coin, and was very happy, "Okay, well, you can all stay in the future until this gold coin is used up." By the way, you must all be hungry, and I will prepare food and hot water for you. ”

There were heads squeezed out of the basement, and they couldn't believe that someone actually took out a gold coin to help them, it was like pie in the sky.

Lorraine's father also came out of the cubicle and sighed in a low voice, "Son, that's a gold coin." Our family has never made such a sum of money. ”

yes, that's a lot of money.

Lorraine loosened her shoulders and replied softly, "Dad, bless me." This time someone gave me a chance to live, and I gave everyone else the same chance. Yilmat is guiding me, and I will do whatever it takes to grasp it. ”

In order to earn the gold coin, the innkeeper brought a lot of food to the residents of the basement. In order to please Lorraine, he also sent her a piece of meat.

Lorraine saw the piece of jerky that had been left for an unknown number of years, and waved his hand disdainfully: "Give it to the others, I'm going to eat something better." ”

The innkeeper was even more surprised, and he didn't dare to offend easily.

Only Lorraine knew that the food she had eaten last night had already been digested, and she was now hungry again. But she knows that this is a world of cannibalism, and she must put her posture on the table, and she can't let people look down on her.

Leaving the hotel and going to the tavern, the two places are actually half a street apart, and it is a short walk away. Lorraine found out that she was not the first, and that there were people who had not even left all night, and had been blown all night in the cold wind.

It was a middle-aged man hiding in the corner of the tavern with his arms crossed, his dark and thin face with an unhealthy and sickly dish. He kept his eyes closed and shivering, as if he would die in the next second.

"Hey...... are you also waiting to go into the tavern to meet the big guys?" Lorraine asked in a low voice.

The black and thin middle-aged man seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and closed his eyes slightly and weakly.

Lorraine pulled out half of the bread she had eaten last night from her clothes, "Here, let's eat." ”

Food? The black and thin middle-aged man was almost hungry, stretched out his shriveled palm and grabbed the half of the dough and stuffed it into his mouth. But he only half-gagged, and then turned and ran towards the alley near the tavern.

Lorraine tilted her head and followed a few steps, only to see two children cowering in the depths of the alley, crying with hunger. She sighed in her heart, "It's good that I saved another family." ”

Lorraine came home with the dough last night, and her parents couldn't have eaten it all, so saving food had become a deep-seated thought in their family's minds. When she went out, her father stuffed half of the dough and said, 'If it doesn't work, I'll come back.'"

"There's nothing that can't be done, I can do it." Lorraine waited at the door of the tavern, waiting for hours not waiting for the tavern to open, but waiting for many people who had eaten yesterday and wanted to continue today.

The guy who taught Lorraine to hide food last night also came, and he greeted Lorraine warmly, discussing how to go in and eat again. Lorraine quietly distanced herself from it, not saying a word.

The girl walked towards the back door of the tavern, and the dark, thin middle-aged man who received her food silently followed......

"Son, can you tell me about last night?" The thin middle-aged man asked pleadingly, "I know it's too late, so I finally rushed over, and the tavern is closed." I asked a lot of people and it felt like it was hiring. ”

The black and thin middle-aged man has food to give to the child first, which greatly enhances Lorraine's good opinion of him. She nodded slightly, "Yes, there is a big man who distributed food here for free last night. But only those who pass its test are qualified to meet him. ”

"Kid, you've passed the test, haven't you?" The black and thin middle-aged man asked anxiously, "What is the test?" Is there still one today? ”

"I guess I passed." Lorraine probably told me about what happened last night, and she saw that the thin black man showed some remorse, and suddenly realized that the other party might not be telling the truth, "Someone informed me to come to the tavern today, and the rest is not clear." ”

The black and thin middle-aged man was even more anxious, and begged again: "Child, help me." I have two little ones to raise and can't find a job anymore. Our whole family had to die. ”

Lorraine didn't refuse to her face, her voice lowered, "I see your child." But I don't know how to help you. I don't know who is favoring me. I can't predict what his temperament will be. ”

The black and thin middle-aged man's face trembled, and he was about to kneel down and cry for Lorraine.

At this moment, a violent shout rang out at the door of the tavern, and the orc shopkeeper came out and shouted, "Get out of here, there is no free food today." Only those who were notified last night were allowed to come in, and everyone else got out of the way. ”

Lorraine's voice was weaker, "I'm sorry, I have to go." My fate is uncertain. ”

The emaciated girl walked away quickly, and the black and thin middle-aged man wanted to cry without tears. Behind him, two young children were half-fed, and they were weakly shouting 'Daddy'.

There are so many people in suffering.
