Chapter 6: Sresta

The environment in which everyone lives is different, different environments create all kinds of different people, Xu Mu does not know the loss of everything and is extremely sad Ai Lu, Ai Lu does not know Xu Mu who bows his head and does evil just to survive.

After all, the values of the two are different, one has a spiritual pursuit, and the other only has survival and self in his heart.

In Xu Mu's words, the biggest truth he learned when he came to this world is that he only makes the most suitable choice, only says the most appropriate words, and only does the most appropriate thing when he chooses.

After coming to Gothic Town, it was still late at night, Ai Lu's physical strength was lacking in magic before, and his mental state was also a little bad, and the whole person was in a trance after arriving in Gothic Town, if it weren't for Xu Mu to pull on the side, it is estimated that he would find a place to make a fire and rest in the roadside forest.

Xu Mu of Gothic Town has been here a few times, and he is very familiar with a hotel.

The hotel clerk was dozing, and when he saw someone coming in, he hurriedly lifted his spirits, and looked up to see that it was a man and a woman, the woman was wearing a long robe and hood, and her face was a little unclear, while the man was wearing a short robe and hood, and his face was also very hidden, but it was better than the woman, at least half of his face could be seen clearly.

The clerk was not surprised, there were indeed few people who liked to expose themselves in this remote area, and asked, "Two guests, how many days will you stay?"

"One day. ”

"If you have an identity certificate, 3 copper coins a night, if you don't, 5 copper coins a night, no problem, right?"

"No problem. Xu Muying sighed, and directly took out five copper coins from his waist and put them on the table.

"Guest, the room is on the second floor. ”

Ai Lu trembled when he thought of something, and said to Xu Mu, "I won't sleep in the same room as you!"

Xu Mu was stunned, and then laughed: "Of course I won't sleep with you, I want to sleep and spend my own money, do you still want me to help you pay for it?" After speaking, he turned around and went upstairs, and didn't pay attention to Ai Lu.

Seeing Xu Mu like this, Ai Lu bit his silver teeth and stomped his feet, and also took out copper coins from his waist and put them on the table, and then hurriedly went upstairs, his mouth kept chanting: "It's really no gentleman's demeanor...!"

The clerk blinked, he thought the two were a couple, but he didn't expect...

In the afternoon, Xu Mu and Ai Lu made an appointment to visit Goth Town together.

It stands to reason that Ai Lu is wanted and should not wander around the town like this, but this place is very remote, and the people who live here are confused, and more is better than less, as long as you don't run around in front of the guards and guilds, the probability of being caught is really low.

was targeted by the two black shop brothers in the town before, mainly because Ai Lu himself was troubled.

In this world, except for the capital and big cities, the sanitation of the towns is very poor, and the vegetable seller does not mind the muddy floor, in his words, he has to wash it when he buys it, and he cares if it is dirty now.

Ai Lu is not wanted, and she has long been used to this kind of small town situation, otherwise with her previous living standards, she would never have set foot in this town, because this town is too dirty!

The two were walking, but they didn't expect a figure to suddenly rush out of the alley next to them, and they almost hit Xu Mu.

If you look closely, it turns out to be a little girl, the little girl is wearing a tattered short cloak, her undershirt is dirty, and she is holding two wheat bread in her arms.

A man ran out of the alley, and the man grabbed the little girl and kicked her over.

The bread in her arms fell out and got mud on the floor.

"Stinky bitch, I steal if I don't pay attention!" a man frantically kicked the little girl.

The girl didn't seem to feel the pain, and she didn't say a word, even if she was next to the man's feet, and kept squirming towards the two pieces of bread.

The crowd gathered around to watch the excitement, all laughing and laughing.

"It's Sreta again. ”

"No, I've stolen a few things these days. ”

"The last time she stole my vegetables and caught me, I saw that she was still a child and let her go after a few strokes. ”

"And then?"

"Heh, the next day, I stole my things while I wasn't paying attention, and I grabbed and beat me directly, some people are used to it!"

...

The girl who was still squirming on the ground finally stopped moving, and Ai Lu watched the girl being kicked to the point that she didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and she couldn't bear to turn her head to look at Xu Mu.

Under the hood, Xu Mu's eyes were still indifferent, and she didn't seem to feel anything at all, and Ai Lu felt powerless in her eyes, but she still said softly: "Do you want to save her?"

Xu Mu didn't speak, but still looked at the girl lying on the floor, the man's seemed to be tired of kicking, so he didn't continue to hurt the girl.

"Bastard, lose me two loaves of bread!" The man became even angrier looking at the two loaves of bread stained with mud on the floor, he lowered his body and grabbed the girl's hair and lifted it, and found that the girl's eyes were still trembling: "Are you still alive?! I'll take you to the slave market and sell you later! I'm sorry, my two loaves of bread are worth 3 copper coins! I really don't know how many copper coins your stinky bitch is worth!"

As soon as she heard that the man was going to sell her to the slave market, the girl's eyes widened and her body began to tremble.

"Don't... Don't sell me..."The girl's mouth was already chapped, and the man could barely hear a few words.

"Oh, don't sell you, am I wasting these two breads?!" said the man, pressing the girl's head against the mud on the floor, "Do you know that you have stolen so many things from a few houses in the past few days, and if it weren't for the fact that you are a child, you would have died a few times!"

The girl still endured the pain and did not scream.

"Help me..."

The girl looked up and looked around with numb eyes, but the crowd looked at her with a sneer, as if no one cared about her life or death.

Suddenly, the girl met a pair of indifferent eyes, which were as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and the owner of the eyes looked at herself as if she were looking at a dead man.

But the girl didn't understand why in her heart, and opened her mouth to the cold-eyed master: "Can you... Help me..."

When the crowd heard that the girl took the initiative to ask for help, they all quieted down, and their eyes were on Xu Mu, and Ai Lu was already very uncomfortable when she saw the girl on the side, and she subconsciously pulled down the corner of Xu Mu's short robe.

The man who was kicking the girl also stopped, and if anyone wanted to save the girl, it would be better to compensate for the two loaves of bread he had lost, as long as he gave him three copper coins, and the matter would be settled.

Xu Mu came to the girl with a straight face and squatted down, the girl's hair was scattered in front of her face, her eyes were trembling and numb, and her chapped mouth was still whispering: "Help me..."

"Why should I save you?" Xu Mu's voice was very small, and basically only the two of them could hear it, but his tone was extremely cold.

The girl didn't expect Xu Mu to ask her like this, she opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't say anything, and seemed to be speechless.

"You can't do anything when you can't do anything, so when you have the ability, can you do anything?" Xu Mu's words were not quiet, and the people around him were a little confused when they heard it, and they didn't know what he meant by this.

The girl's eyes widened again, but the numbness in her eyes seemed to dissipate considerably, and she did not ask for help again.

"This young master, do you want to save her, if you want to save her, just give me three copper coins, and I'll hand over this girl to you!" the man was a little impatient.

Ai Lu couldn't help but want to put the money bag on her waist on the side, she still had this money, but she had agreed with Xu Mu before that all arrangements for the two of them to go out would have to listen to Xu Mu...

Xu Mu ignored the girl and stood up, glanced at the surrounding and men with cold eyes, and then left the crowd directly without saying anything.

The crowd couldn't help laughing, and some people joked with the man: "Three copper coins to save this thief?

Seeing this, the man couldn't help but sigh: "Bad luck!" After saying that, he picked up two loaves of bread on the ground, although he couldn't sell them, but the dirty parts could still be eaten when they were torn open, and then he lifted the girl on the floor with one hand and left, as if he was really going to sell the girl to the slave market, so as to make up for his losses.

As for whether the man would do this or not, the others didn't care, and eventually the crowd dispersed and the streets became as if nothing had happened.

"Xu Mu...!" Ai Lu followed Xu Mu, holding back his resentment and asking, "Why didn't you save that girl!"

Xu Mu stopped and looked at Ai Lu coldly: "Why should I save her?"

Hearing this, Ai Lu couldn't help it: "Don't you feel a little uncomfortable in your heart when you look at that girl like this? Could it be that you are not willing to give up those three copper coins? If you are not willing to tell me, I can give it!"

"She doesn't deserve your three copper coins. ”

"It's not a matter of a few copper coins!" Ai Lu gritted his teeth and cursed, "How can you be so cold-blooded!"

Xu Mu looked at the angry Ai Lu and didn't reply immediately, and then he said slowly: "When she can't do anything now, she can't do anything, then you save her once or twice, and then she still can't do anything." You have to understand that with that girl's current condition, it is really not worth paying three copper coins to save her, if you ask for help, you have to save yourself first. ”

Ai Lu was angry, where did she care what Xu Mu said, she scolded Xu Mu a few more words and then turned around and left, saying that she was going back to the hotel.

Xu Mu's face was indifferent and he didn't stop him, anyway, he signed a magic contract with Ai Lu, even if Ai Lu was really angry, he wouldn't leave him alone to retrieve the belongings of the secret room.

Looking at the back of Miaoman who was leaving, Xu Mu shook his head and turned to leave.

I didn't expect that in this world, there are still noble children who can be so kind, you must know that in the previous town, all the children of some powerful people in the family, and the people in the pauper's cellar were also one of their playthings.

Although it is not good to say this, Xu Mu's feeling of Ai Lu in his heart can't help but be a little better.

In the alley where the sun doesn't shine, a bakery is located inside, so that Xu Mu knows that a bakery is open in such a ghost place and does not laugh to death, but anyone with a little IQ knows that opening a bakery in this kind of place will be a loss of leggings.

Sleta was left in a corner of the bakery, obviously with many injuries on her body, and even a large bruise on the side of her face, but her muddy face had a pair of eyes that were no longer confused.

She smelled the bakery's unique wheat smell again, and Sleta was hungry, but unfortunately she didn't succeed in stealing anything today, and if she did, she would have a full meal today.
