Chapter 616: Winter's Question
In fact, according to Pandora's "skills", as well as the strength of Ganaticana, who was born much greater than his peers, the combination of the two of them in a place like Iron Bucket City should be a "bandit duo", at least join any gang at will, Pandora and Ganatika will not need to rely on begging as a minimum way to obtain survival materials.
However, because Ganatika's "mission" is to be a "righteous brave", Pandora cannot lead Ganatika to the path of breaking the law and committing crimes, so ............ In Iron Bucket City, the two of them only have one way to survive, "begging".
Of course, begging is a very precarious way of survival, not having enough to eat, being hungry, being kicked and beaten are common, and after a month has passed, Pandora has to cover her beautiful face with soot, and Ganatika, who has adapted to the new environment with great speed, has become much more silent.
In this quiet and cold night, the thin boy and girl huddled together in a "board house" made of a few pieces of wood to keep warm, although the small board house squeezed in the cracks of the big house is no longer ravaged by the cold wind, but the cold of the cold winter still cannot be covered by the thin wooden planks.
Another harsh winter has come, in the city of iron buckets, the harsh winter is always the best way to cut the population, I don't know how many homeless wanderers will freeze to death in the icy cold wind, at least whether it is Ganatika or Pandora can see, every day there are many corpses waiting to be disposed of and dragged to the streets for display.
Of course, the teenager and girl who was in the wooden house at this time did not have to worry about being killed by the cold, and Pandora's existence as a "seemingly ordinary girl, but actually a formal golem" could not be affected by the cold, and Ganatika ............ I have to admit that the talent of a genius-level warrior is really extraordinary, even if Ganatika is still an ordinary person in essence now, but the young man's physique is still not comparable to most "ordinary people".
Only now, the boy whose hair was frosted and misted by the cold wind looked as pitiful as those homeless people.
At this time, although the cold shivering young man's lips were blue, he could only chew the spoiled bread in his mouth little by little, as a "beggar", Ganatika and Pandora could only have such moldy bread as food to satisfy their hunger, after all, the residents of Ironbucket City generally have no sympathy at all.
"Here you go, and this bread will be given to you to eat."
With her keen hearing, hearing the boy's stomach rumbling again, Pandora couldn't help but feel a little distressed and handed a piece of bread in her hand to Ganatika.
"Pandora...... Sister...... This...... This ...... It's yours, I can't...... to".
Seeing the girl handing the dirty bread to him with her white fingers, Ganatika's first reaction was to push the bread back, he clearly remembered that the girl didn't eat a bite of bread today, how could Ganatika, who only regarded Pandora as an ordinary girl, eat the other party's food?
But...... Before Ganatika could put his thoughts into action, his stomach rattled with a cramping sound.
"Gollum" ............
“...... Hurry up and eat it, give me obedience".
Ignoring the teenager's embarrassment, Pandora stuffed the bread directly into the teenager's mouth.
As a golem, of course, Pandora doesn't need to eat, but for the sake of disguise, she usually eats a little food from time to time, and now, Ganatika, a real ordinary human, needs more food than Pandora.
Pandora didn't know that Ganatika didn't need food, and when she saw the girl stuffing the last piece of bread into her mouth, Ganatica's eyes immediately turned red with emotion, and after the silence that she wanted to say and stopped, the boy didn't refuse Pandora's kindness again, he just chewed the hard bread little by little, as if he was tasting delicacies again.
For a while, the atmosphere in the wooden hut seemed to have a touch of warmth, and it also reduced a touch of oppressive chill............
"Sister Pandora, a blizzard is coming...... My mother told me that this "hissing" wind is a precursor to a blizzard."
Swallowing the last loaf of bread, Ganatika stared out the door a little blankly.
"Well, a blizzard is coming."
Also looking at the dark night outside the door in a daze, Pandora's answer was not serious.
"What are the poor people going to do when the blizzard comes, Uncle Anton is so old, and Mr. Dunk's leg is still injured...... How did they survive the cold of the blizzard?"
Speaking slowly in an age-appropriate sigh, Ganatika's eyes were full of sorrow.
“............”
Hearing the young man's words, Pandora was a little stunned for a while.
Anton and Dunk are the wanderers that Ganatika met during a month of begging career, in fact, Ganatika, who loves to communicate, also rolls with more wanderers, Pandora didn't expect that in this precarious and hungry environment, Ganatika would actually be sincerely worried about the "stranger" who met in Pingshui.
Ganatika also seemed to see Pandora's surprise, only to see him show a stiff smile bitterly, and then sighed helplessly:
"Well, I don't know why, I can feel that I am not afraid of the harsh winter, but I can also feel it, Grandpa Anton and Mr. Dunke...... I'm afraid time is running out...... I'm so sad, those poor people are so pitiful, I wish someone could save them"............
“............”
Pandora was naturally speechless for the boy's explanation, and at this moment, the girl only felt ...... The boy in front of him is a real "human", he will feel sad, he will feel helpless, and under his infection, even the golem named "Pandora" seems to have a feeling of "sadness", but the reason that makes Pandora feel sad is that the poor boy and ...... Herself!
Ganatika trusted herself, moved by her insignificant actions, but she did deceive the boy for a shady purpose, and compared to Ganatika, who was still worried about the person she met in the water, how hateful was the golem called "Pandora One"?
Unconsciously lowered her head, a kind of indescribable, but logically should never exist in the heart of the "Golem" began to spread in Pandora's virtual soul, at this moment, the girl who should not understand "sadness" seemed to "epiphany" the existence of some emotions.
But the girl cannot be immersed in new emotions, because her memory messages are constantly reminding her...... This is a good opportunity to guide the boy on the "right path", and as a golem who exists in order to "complete the mission", he cannot let go of any opportunity.
“............ Yes, how pitiful those poor wanderers............ But Ganatika ...... Have you ever wondered why so many poor wanderers existed, why did good men like old Anton and Mr. Dunk have to beg for a living? their labor should have been able to be exchanged for money to feed ten men, but ...... Why can't they feed themselves?"
Pandora's voice was already a little hoarse, but in the howling of the cold wind, Ganatika did not hear the strangeness of the girl's tone.
The young man was only stunned for a moment, and then muttered to himself:
"Yes, why? Even in my hometown, the medicinal herbs collected by the "medicine pickers" are very valuable, but why do they still have to go hungry all the time............
