Chapter 31: The Beggar

When he left the City Lord's Mansion, it was already sunset, and Vins didn't have a pocket watch, so he had to find a café and peek at the wall clock outside the door, and it was now twelve twenty-five noon.

The excitement and excitement in his heart slowly calmed down, and Vince's first feeling was that he was hungry! Very hungry! The little breakfast he ate at Morrich's house in the morning had already been digested in duels and exercises, and Vince was now hungry with his chest against his back, and he couldn't even walk.

He muttered as he walked, "Master, what's the matter...... Is it a dead eye? Mr. Dada will send you if you want to send it, can't you invite me to a meal......"

People are iron rice or steel, so let's go buy something to eat first......

Although Vince didn't bring any money, he was fortunate to have given him a silver narr when he left the house. Now that silver is undoubtedly life-saving money, Vins is almost on his knees and shouts praise for Morich's vision.

Vince rarely comes to Uptown, but he's heard that things in Uptown, especially in the New District, are a lot more expensive than Downtown. At this moment, he is standing on the streets of the prosperous new district, and his heart is still a little bottomless.

It's a small thing to not be able to buy food, but it's a big thing to be embarrassed, after all, Vins is still a person with an identity now, so he naturally can't lose the teacher's face outside.

He pondered for a long time, and finally walked into a convenience store and chose a piece of brown bread among the various food options.

This is the food that Vince has eaten the most in his past life, and compared to other glamorous cheap goods, although the black bread does not look good, it is cheap, affordable, and not expensive.

A new district is a new district, and Wins brought a piece of black bread and a bottle of water, and it actually cost eleven copper fairs, and the corners of his eyes twitched when he checked out......

Walking out of the convenience store and stuffing a few mouthfuls of brown bread into his mouth, Winston felt much better. The warm sun shone on his body, and he stretched comfortably, it was time to go home.

However, Vince seems to be favored by the god of fate lately, and nothing can be smooth sailing. As soon as he decided to go home, he turned around the corner and met an acquaintance he didn't know so well - the beggar who had caused Joel trouble that day.

The sun was shining at noon, but the temperature was still relatively low, and everyone around was wearing thick coats. Only this beggar, in a dusty, tattered shirt, curled up on the corner of the street, out of place in the glossy new district.

"What are you doing here?"

Vince was going to bypass him and hurry home, but after taking two steps, he suddenly remembered the suspicion in the matter he had discussed with Joel that day, and he turned back.

The beggar cowered on the corner of the street, his thin body motionless.

"Hey, did you hear me?!"

Winsgar shouted in his voice, but the beggar still didn't move.

Isn't it dead?

Vince tentatively kicked the beggar.

"Uh...... Huh??"

The beggar rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched and woke up.

How did this beggar survive until now, still sleeping at noon......

As soon as the beggar got out of bed, he plucked out his ears and shouted, "Who? Don't let people sleep well in the morning!"

Vins scolded angrily: "It's still noon? Look up, the sun is all on your ass!"

"I said what ...... about you," the beggar turned to look at Vins, and when he saw that it was a familiar face, he immediately said, "Oh, it's you......, sir!" Have we met somewhere?"

Vince rolled his eyes twice in his heart and said, "Pelican Street, you caused trouble and dragged my friend Joel into the water, we met at that time. ”

The beggar looked suddenly enlightened, and said, "Ah!!I remember! It was the uncle at that time! That time was really thanks to you and your friends, otherwise I wouldn't have survived that day! I don't know what the uncle is looking for me? I will do my best to do it for the uncle, but there is one condition," the beggar smiled, "I can't leave the new area." ”

Vince frowned, there was really something wrong......

After thinking about it, he said slowly: "What is the relationship between the three people that day and you, why do you think he will kill you?"

When the beggar heard Wens's question, he was visibly stunned, and after a moment of silence, he said with a look full of embarrassment: "Uncle, you and your friends are good people, I know that. But I hope you can advise your friends not to be too strong in everything, especially in these special times. You don't need to inquire about me, I have been wandering in the new area for a few days, and the black guards who are hiding from the patrol can barely survive, so I don't have to worry about it. ”

After a pause, he covered his face with his hands, and a low voice came out of his palm with a hint of loss: "It's good for the big guy to live well, but the current Caryton is too chaotic......"

I only met yesterday, where can I wander in the new area for a few days? This beggar clearly thought that his mother had a heart attack and did not want to worry himself.

He's a nice guy too......

Wens wanted to sit next to the beggar and comfort him, but he was wearing Morich's clothes, which were not good for people to get dirty and torn, so he could only pat the beggar on the shoulder and say, "Say, I'm not just here to help you get ahead." The gang that clashed with us yesterday morning, I met one of them again at my house in the evening. I'm not sure if he recognized me, but to be on the safe side, I still wanted to find out who he was, so I wouldn't know how he died. ”

After listening to Wens's words, the beggar suddenly raised his head from his palm and asked with a panicked face, "Uncle, are you...... How did you get involved with them?!It's so dangerous!Why do you care so much about your own safety?!Listen to my advice, withdraw, no matter how much interest attracts you, withdraw now, they are a group of devils who kill people without blinking!!"

"It's late. Vince sighed, a faint wry smile on his lips.

The beggar also gradually calmed down, rubbed his face, and said as calmly as possible: "The reason why I don't want to tell them their identities is that I don't want the two masters to wade into this troubled water." The two uncles are good people, and good people should be rewarded! But this is the case with you, uncle, alas, ......"

The beggar clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind: "The three of them should all be thugs of the local gang, this is just a speculation, but it should also be eight or nine." ”

"Gangster thugs, how did they find you?"

The beggar sighed and said, "My affair with them has to start from a few days ago. At that time, the plague was in full swing, and the people in the city were panicking, but it was our beggars who were most afraid. You also know our situation, uncle, all day long, looking for food and clothing in the cesspool, garbage heap, and living there at night, and the chance of being exposed to the plague is not known how many times greater than that of you normal people. Although everyone is a beggar, and living one day at a time, who would dislike his long life? Therefore, there were many beggars in those days who would rather starve to death than go to the garbage heap to eat. They say, 'It's better to starve and freeze to death in the streets than to get the plague and be tortured to death in the hospital!' There were fewer and fewer companions, and everyone's hearts were even more panicked, until one day, someone came......"

The beggar still likes crap as much as he did yesterday, and Wens finally heard the point, and immediately focused on it: "Who is it?!"

The beggar smiled bitterly and said, "He didn't say who he was, but he preached around all day in a purple robe and a black mask, and we didn't even know if he was a man or a woman." He claimed to be a messenger of God, who had come specifically to save us mortals who were suffering in the mortal world. And what to say: 'The rotten and filthy nobles have lost the favor of God, and God's elect will be produced among us, sing praises to God, praise God, and we will have supreme salvation!'"

"Did he say what god he believed in?"

"Maybe I didn't pay much attention to it, I didn't believe a word of what he said when he preached, thinking that some little cult wanted to take advantage of the plague to recruit some followers. ”

"I'm underestimating them. On the third day of the man's arrival, he suddenly claimed that he could cure the plague, and his god gave him that authority. ”

"Can you imagine the scene at that time? Everyone was tormented by the fear of the plague day and night, and suddenly someone appeared and said that they could liberate everyone, and everyone was boiling! But we beggars are not stupid, how could the plague, which the whole of Carryton and even the kingdom are helpless, be suddenly solved by a magic stick, and everyone is full of joy and still skeptical. ”

"The man said that he could treat two people first, so that everyone could see the effect. At that time, the rate of plague among beggars was already very high, and people fell ill almost every day. At that time, several people who had contracted the plague that day and had not yet had time to be taken to the medical point by the black guards volunteered to stand up. The man took all the people who came forward, saying that the effect would be seen the next day. ”

"The next morning, he came again, with the people he had taken yesterday. You can't believe it, each of them is alive and well, and you can't tell that yesterday they were plague patients, lying on the ground and tormented to death!"

The man said that if we sincerely believe in God's miracles, grace will come to everyone. He also said that just being healed in time is not enough to be God's chosen people, and that God will redeem all of us if we follow Him tomorrow to complete the prayer service. ”

We didn't understand what salvation meant, and a few dared to ask him. I remember very well that he cleared his throat and paused and said, 'Salvation is to be free from the plague forever and to have the right to live freely in this land!'"

"This is what almost all beggars desire! Everyone was so excited that some even fell on the ground and wept to him, praising his God as the only savior!"

Ordinary cults absorb the methods of the cultists, but they can actually cure the plague! This is definitely a technique that all the bishops of Cariton cannot reach, even if it may only be temporary!

Vince thought for a moment and said, "What about you? Did you go? Hmmm...... No, if you go, you won't be here. ”

The beggar nodded heavily and exhaled a long breath, as if to vent the fear in his heart.

"I wanted to go, but that night, something strange happened to me. ”

Vins's heart suddenly tightened, and the most crucial part of the story was coming......
