Soon, it was snowing heavily in the scene in front of me. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It seems that not long has passed since the scene just now. Because Beverly was still feverish.

The trio's shack deep in the alley still failed to make a fire. And in the shabby shack, which was almost completely sheltered from the wind, the two children shivered with cold, and waited hard for the eldest brother to return.

Olancart soon returned, bringing back only palm-sized bread.

"I'm sorry. Olancart's face was full of guilt, and his cheeks were cold: "That's all I get...... I stole and missed, and I couldn't get any more. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, at least there's something to gain. Reassuring Olancart, Röm stood up and tried to get off the "bed" made of cardboard boxes and bricks, but accidentally fell. If the eldest brother hadn't stopped him, Ron would have fallen to the ground.

"It's snowing too hard today. With a thin face, Olancart muttered, carefully tearing the bread into three portions by hand, obviously giving his share much smaller: "If this continues, we will become more and more sad." Maybe I need to borrow a stove to live. ”

Borrow...... Naturally, the meaning is to steal.

If the person who was stolen could not find the whereabouts of the stove, then it would naturally become "borrowed". Maybe it's a little confusing logically, but that's what it is.

They really need a stove...... Or anything that keeps you warm.

They had to find a way to get through the winter.

When the orphanage was burned, the guards didn't pay attention to the three children. After a whining session, everyone went their separate ways.

Only three children were left at a loss, standing in fear in place.

They were confused, but Olancart and Röhm were strong and wanted to live.

Little Beverly didn't understand anything at the time, not even why she couldn't go back to the orphanage.

I don't know what happened to everyone.

Death, for little Beverly, is incomprehensible. And the two older brothers are completely different.

They know what's going on.

Soon, the snow drifted down. The meagre calories that the children get from that little food are quickly deprived of them.

The cold begins to invade the body temperature. The temperature of the human body begins to gradually decrease.

And little Beverly, who had a high fever, became even more trance because of this.

Her breathing began to become unnatural, and it was no longer smooth at all. Rom, on the other hand, is so cold that he can't sleep, and discovers something strange about little Beverly. He hurriedly woke up Orlancart, frightened and overwhelmed.

Beverly's body temperature, which had dropped slightly due to the drug, was now hot again.

And no matter how much she pushes little Beverly, she won't wake up.

The two panicked and immediately took the girl and wanted to ask for help. After all, little Beverly was not in a good situation, and it would not help if she stayed where she was: the shack simply didn't have enough warmth for her.

The first place they thought of was the old man who had helped them yesterday.

But there was no one in the old man's house—or even if there were, he didn't open the door.

In the middle of the night, it may not have been heard.

Finding a clinic that was open late at night was quite difficult. However...... How could the hospital give them credit?

I know that these children can't afford it.

The two children had to carry their sister on their backs in horror and run around. However, there was no clinic open anywhere.

...... Needless to say, this excludes the clinics that Olancart visited during the day. Because they won't help.

In the cold wind and heavy snow, the two children's steps became more and more faltering and weak. They endured with a glimmer of hope, and they walked almost half the city (there are six in the slums, and they walked in one of them) with no help.

Thankfully, they walked down dangerous alleys in order to get on their way, but nothing happened.

Although they saw a few villains facing the vicious people and the villains with large axes along the way, they only glanced at a few people and ignored them. It's like seeing a wild dog crossing the street.

Everyone knows that there is nothing to rob of such a child, because apparently they don't even look down on their sister's illness.

You know, the remote alleys of the slums are never a safe place. It is easy to get into trouble when you walk inside, from having your wallet stolen to being robbed or even murdered.

Besides, it's still night.

In the slums, getting sick is basically resigned to fate, unless there is another way...... That's going to church.

The Church treats the poor free of charge for some diseases. Whether it is the Light and Shadow Holy Sect or the Heavenly Wing Sect, they will lend a helping hand. Sometimes there are druids in gatherings, and you can go there and get a cure from natural spells.

In short, the church's purpose is good, but the reality is cruel. Although the Church approved a lot of medicines from the dynasty to help the poor, for so many patients in need of treatment, medicines were still scarce, and more seriously, there were not enough people.

As for the magic healing...... There are also very few priests in the world who can heal, and even fewer who are assigned to the slums.

There are so many people who need to see a doctor, and I really can't take care of them. The church does not force people to work in the slums, so it has not been able to add more people to help. After all, few people want to live in a dirty slum. There are very few devout believers who occasionally come here to give themselves to themselves, but they are highly respected.

In general, it is the default rule not to harm church members. Whoever violates it will be targeted by the local mafia. Unlike many other countries, the churches in the Sky City have very high requirements for the quality of their personnel. Those who give selflessly in the slums have no reason to be hated.

If Beverly had been sent to the church's orphanage, she might have been better off - at least not without a home.

If you grow up like this, you'll probably join the church.

First I helped out in the church, and then I became a pastor or something...... Maybe you can be a temple guard. (Neither the Light and Shadow Cult nor the Celestial Wing Sect have a nun.) ）

In the end, the two who were frequently rejected finally had no way out. At this time, they did not know that the church would help with healing in addition to giving food. Therefore, after knocking on doors and asking for help to no avail, they had to drag their bodies back in frustration.

Little Beverly was dying at this point.

The two of them couldn't walk anymore, and Röm even fell to the ground because he was dragging a broken leg. Olancart couldn't help but be annoyed, he shouldn't have let Rohm come with him. However, seeing that little Beverly was really hopeless, they were depressed and wanted to go home, and their steps were extremely heavy.

At this moment, a person who made Beverly's heart tighten appeared in the ruins of memory.
