Chapter 5: Fear

Alan, who was thinking about something, was unconsciously at the river.

But I didn't think that the river was already full of people, it couldn't be all my idea, there were too many people here, and I was afraid that there were not enough fish in the river.

Looking at the crowd in front of him, Alan decided to go in and have a look.

So with his short and delicate figure, he squeezed into the crowd and immediately looked inside.

Steward Alger was in the middle of the crowd with a group of knights, one of whom was carrying a child of seven or eight years old like a feather, and the child was holding two struggling fish in his hands.

I went, I thought I was already coming here soon, but I didn't expect to be preempted, but thanks to being preempted, otherwise it would have been me who was caught, at this time Alan didn't realize the consequences of being caught, and he was still laughing in his heart.

Maybe he thinks that just like on earth, children are caught stealing things, and the great thing is to call their parents, it's no big deal.

However, Alan soon regretted squeezing to the front, because he saw the first tragedy in his life.

"According to the Law on the Security of the Lord's Private Property in the Territory, what should someone do if someone steals the lord's property?" Alger asked the knight.

"His right hand should be cut off. The knight replied.

"Chop off his right hand," Alger said with a blank face.

You don't really cut off your hands, do you, you just scare the kid, right?

Without the slightest hesitation, the knight cut off the right hand of the crying child, and the blood splattered everywhere, and the people watching retreated.

Alger was pleased with the reaction, "Remember, if you dare to steal the Baron's property, this is the consequence. Then he led the knights away.

Alan stared blankly at the blood not far away, screamed and squeezed out of the crowd and ran.

"Gross!" Allen saw such a bloody side, and ran home in fear, and couldn't help it for a while, and vomited on the side of the road.

It was as if he was going to spit out his bile.

When he returned home, he was trembling, his body began to weaken, and after a while, his consciousness began to blur.

How dare he be real, why, it's just a child! Alan in a coma vaguely thought that he could still see the child crying, which made people panic.

I don't know how long it took.

"Ahh

But she was stunned by the scene in front of her, Alice was lying on her somewhat swollen arm and biting, and a piece of flesh had been bitten off her arm.

He glanced at his parents, as if to ask why he didn't stop his sister, only to find that even his father, Abt, and mother, Cornell, seemed to have green lights in their eyes.

"Ah~" Alan shouted and rushed out of the house.

It turned out that Cornell and Abt had just come back, but they saw Alice biting Alan hungryly, so they were about to stop it, but they didn't expect Alan to wake up suddenly, but he suddenly ran away.

"Whew, snort" Allen, who was lying in the fields by the river, had tears and snot on his face, panting heavily.

"Why, why!" came out of his heart, and he was already curled up in fear.

Why did God want to reincarnate him into such a world, why he couldn't live in peace, why was the human nature of this world so distorted?

Curled up, as if he could squeeze out the fear in his heart, he was too scared, although he had the memory of his previous life, he had never seen this kind of scene, and something seemed to rush out of his heart, fear, worry, fear......

He was afraid that his parents would be exchanged for someone else, and then he would be killed and eaten. What an incredible thing this was in the previous life, throwing away the child is already a great crime, and the cannibalism of Yi Zi only exists in history, who can see it with his own eyes, who has experienced it himself!

Alan lay on the ground, and finally relieved, no matter how incredible it was, he finally understood that hunger to a certain extent can really eat people, history has never deceived, hungry people do everything, at first he didn't believe it, and told his classmates that this must be an exaggeration.

Looking at the arm that was already missing a piece of flesh, Alan believed, completely believed, this is an era no less than the ancient dark period!

Worry, fear completely took over Allen's heart. What kind of traverser, what is the use, whether it can carry a steel knife, or can it withstand hunger.

No, no!

I chewed my mouth unconsciously.

What is this, there is a faint sweetness, chewing his mouth, Alan feels a little sweet in his mouth.

Reaching out and taking it out, he found that it was grass on the ground, and pulled a few of the same grass from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.

I found that the taste was still okay, a little sweet, looking at the grass everywhere, I was saved. Three words came to mind.

After witnessing a child stealing fish and having his right hand cut off, he was very honest and pulled out a lot of grass and handed over 30% of the grass to the tax collector.

In the surprised eyes of the tax officer. I went home with a pile of grass.

Yes, go back to that home where you might be going to eat him.

After all, it was only his sister who was ignorant and too hungry that she bit him.

Well, the real reason is that he is only five years old after all, and what should he do without his parents?

Now that you have a solution to your hunger, you don't have to worry about being eaten. Even the parents may not want to eat themselves, but they are just scaring themselves.

After comforting himself in his heart, he walked briskly towards home.

After his parents learned that this grass was edible and that there was still a lot of grass to cover the famine even if they had to pay taxes, their faces finally showed a sense of happiness that they could live.

When Baron El heard that a lot of grass had been collected, he was very angry and told Alger that you want me to eat grass with these pariahs!

And in the tax law, stones also have to pay taxes, what do I want that stone for, do I eat it? What I want to collect is grain, meat is something I can eat and use, not some grass or stone.

Oh my God, I just haven't managed my territory in a long time, and these untouchables are about to make my territory look like something.

"My lord, don't I embody your authority, let those untouchables work for you with peace of mind. Alger argued.

"I, the Anse family, have ruled this land for more than two hundred years, and I still need you to proclaim my majesty, go down!" Baron El said angrily.

Watching Alger leave, Baron El angrily walked around the house twice, annoyed that his men couldn't do things.

Since the death of the lady, the latter few stewards are not as good as the other, or the lady managed the territory in an orderly manner at that time.

Now that Yarman has grown up, he may be able to take over some of the territory.

As for Arlin, when he is older, he will be sent to the knight's academy under the Count of Antoine, and I believe that he should be able to change some of his personality.
