CHAPTER XXVII
"Help me"
Unexpectedly, the dream that foreshadowed the inevitable event reappeared, and this time it was almost confirmed that it was Dong Nina, but it was unknown what exactly she was going to do.
Luo Ning went out immediately after a simple meal early in the morning, echoing the details of the dream in his mind, trying to find out from the details the specific things to do.
The streets were deserted, and he didn't get up earlier than he had to give lessons to the children.
The students in the classroom at the west end of Crow Town have arrived, and the class to be taught on Saturday is one hour of reading and one hour of interest development.
You need books to read, but the books you have are basically religious in nature, which is a bit too obscure for children.
So it was temporarily changed to storytelling.
"It looks like I'm going to have to find some books for kids somewhere else."
After Luo Ning announced the revision of the course content, he thought in his heart, scanning the six children in the classroom, Dong Nina came into view, and was stunned for a moment when she saw the girl's face.
Put the story aside for the moment and walk over to the girl.
"Donina, what's wrong with your face?"
The girl had some noticeable bruises on her face, and the image of the bruises was a bit strange and impossible to distinguish.
One of Tonina's eyes was slightly swollen, and there was horror in her clear and immaculate eyes, but this horror was fleeting and immediately turned into sincerity.
"It was me who made a mistake and accidentally broke a plate, it's okay, it's much better."
As if to prove that he was okay, he pressed the bruised part with his frozen, reddened by cold, and showed an innocent smile.
The naïve girl thinks she deserves corporal punishment just because she accidentally broke a plate.
Luo Ning's brain was buzzing, and he suddenly regretted letting the girl go back last night, if he insisted a little, maybe the girl could stay and not be punished.
He touched the girl's head in distress, it was estimated that it was a little difficult for the girl to describe what had happened, and in the evening he could learn some details from Franklin.
After a story is told, it quickly comes to the second lesson.
Interest development class.
Luo Ning carefully asked each of the six children about the things they were most interested in, some of which required some props, and it seemed that there were a lot of things to buy, such as Dong Nina, who likes music, who needed a musical instrument.
Therefore, the interest development course has also been temporarily changed to other courses.
At the end of the two classes, he returned to the girl's house with Donina, who waved goodbye and knocked on the door.
Soon the door opened a crack, and an arm reached out through the crack in the door and dragged the girl roughly, judging by the outstretched arm, it should be Donina's mother.
It doesn't seem like Donina's mom is a good mother.
Luo Ning shook his head, turned around and scanned the deserted street, only Ye Nifu's small shop not far away was open.
When I walked to the door, I heard the sonorous voice of Ms. Ye Nifu.
"Austin, good morning, thank you for taking care of Benjamin, but it seems to be a little sick."
Ye Nifu walked over with Benjamin in his arms, his eyes revealing worry.
Luo Ning looked at Benjamin lying in the arms of the fat woman, Benjamin was yawning lazily and listlessly, but the fleeting cunning in his eyes could not escape his eyes.
"This guy should be deliberately taking revenge on himself for teaching him a lesson last night because of the rat thing."
After a moment's thought, he held out his hand.
"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Benjamin, it needs a doctor to see a doctor, although I just treat people, but the difference between animals and people is not very big, I have also treated pigs before, the effect is good, just leave it to me."
Yennifo was suspicious and handed Benjamin into the hands of the young man.
"I used to take care of Benjamin about five rand at a time, this time ......"
Luo Ning held Benjamin and stroked his head, the corners of his mouth raised, interrupting the other party.
"It's okay, it's a gesture, since Benjamin is sick, I don't have to pay anything this time."
Ye Nifu's expression was full of excitement, fleeting, and pretending to be embarrassed.
"Thank you so much, I'll pay you a little more next time."
Luo Ning was already thinking about how to teach this cunning and treacherous stinky cat a lesson next, and of course he had to care about business.
"Ms. Ye Nifu, I would like to inquire where the nearest bookstore is? There are also bazaars and stuff like that, where I have to buy some musical instruments and stuff for the kids to teach. ”
Ye Nifu made an exaggerated expression, and her voice instantly raised eight times.
"God, what did I hear, Mr. Austin is going to buy books and musical instruments for the children and stuff, you are such a good person, if the parents of those children know this news, they will thank you, God will bless you."
Can you be fake, you don t have children, Luo Ning looked at the exaggerated fat woman with an embarrassed expression.
"I don't know if you can buy books there, you know, I don't pay attention to that thing, and as for the market, you need to go to Raventown, about thirty kilometers away, and it takes about an hour, and I'm talking about a horse-drawn carriage."
Thirty kilometers away is Raventown...... Does the town here have anything to do with crows, Luo Ning teased in his heart and continued to inquire.
"Whoever has a carriage in town, I can pay for it."
Thirty kilometers would take about four to five hours to walk, or even longer, and would have to take public transportation.
Ye Nifu spread out her hands and shook her head.
"There are no carriages in Crowtown, and no one here can afford horses."
Do you really want to walk? Even if the children buy teaching supplies, they will need to send the information they get about the new power system to the address left by the bounty hunter via a messenger.
When I was in distress, I screamed from the side.
Ye Nifu patted the chubby head.
"I almost forgot that today I will be using a delivery car from Raventown, and my little shop will replenish some goods on this day of the month to meet everyone's needs."
Before the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves sounded not far away.
A carriage came galloping, it was a wagon pulling goods, and when it came to a stop in front of the shop, the groom jumped down, uncovered the linen from the carriage, and moved the boxes down.
"Ms. Ye Nifu, the goods you want are here, a total of 1 dong 55 rand, count it."
Having unloaded almost all the goods of the carriage, the groom patted the dirt on his body and reminded him in a rough voice at the door of the shop.
"Hurry up, I need to rush back, and I have to make deliveries somewhere else."
Ye Nifu went in to get the money, Luo Ning glanced at the coachman and the dilapidated truck, it looked like the wheel of the car was almost about to fall, although it was not very particular, but it was much stronger than walking, and walked up.
"Sir, can you give me a ride, I need to go to Raventown."
The coachman looked the young man up and down, took out a roll of rough paper, took out the tobacco leaves from his pocket and put it on, and then spit on the roll.
"Thirty rand."
Sitting on the ground and starting the price, riding the fire to rob?
Luo Ning could feel the malice revealed in this guy's words, although it was very uncomfortable, but it seemed that there was no other good way.
"Don't get me wrong, if you go to Raven Town from here, you may encounter robbers, if it's just me, the robbers won't be interested, they like you to rob people like this, so the risk of bringing you and me will increase a lot, thirty rand is absolutely fair."
There seemed to be only one choice at the moment, and Luo Ning nodded helplessly.
"Deal."
