Chapter 291: Beggars
An hour later, Amin who had settled Dor's head upstairs and called Stannis to set off together.
After whispering to Evelyn not to go out, Stannis jumped out of the room, closed the door with the speed of 20 years of being single so that the black man couldn't see the inside of the room at all, and then said to the other party seriously, "Then, let's go!"
After exiting the gate of his residence, Stannis looked out into the street, and since it was early in the morning, there were basically no people on the road, except a beggar sitting there, and it seemed that this place was not exactly a brave new world with a utopian atmosphere, but also a gap between the rich and the poor.
"Here. Amin led the way to the east.
Just passing in front of the beggar, just a step he Stannis smelled the smell of wine, how could anyone be drunk early in the morning?
"Merciful sir, give me some money to buy wine and drink!" the beggar with the melon skin hat stretched out his dirty hand and begged for alms at Stannis.
Stannis raised his head and found that Amin had walked away, looking at the other party's pitiful tone of pleading, the soft-hearted Stannis took out a few copper coins from his arms and stuffed them into the other party's hands, but as soon as the hands of the two touched, Stannis suddenly felt that the old beggar's hands were full of strength and grabbed him like iron tongs to prevent him from letting go.
"What's going on......!" Stannis was startled, and was about to scream out, when suddenly the old beggar in front of him, who had always looked drunk, was like a different person, and under the brim of his dirty hat, the face looked like someone Stannis had seen.
The magistrate of Oak Town, the dead Kimberley!
"Aren't you dead!" Stannis, who saw the ghost for the first time, was almost scared.
"Be quiet, if you want to stay alive, do as I say. "The county magistrate, Kimberly, is like two people who used to be drunk.
Stannis immediately shut up, though he was now full of questions about how this man who was supposed to die could have appeared in front of him, and why he, as the magistrate, had become a beggar.
"At that time, I saw that you were familiar, but I didn't expect you to be really Stennis, and now you actually came to my town as a savior, which is really a kind of reincarnation. Kimberly spoke these words in a coherent voice, though Stannis didn't understand a word.
"I'm not a savior......
"Shut up! Listen, don't trust anyone here if you want to survive!"
Just as Stannis was about to ask why, the huge force in his hand that was holding him disappeared, and he staggered back a few steps, just in time to crash into Amin who had come back to look for him.
"Are you alright?" Amin asked, holding him behind him.
Stannis originally wanted to tell him that the beggar was their county magistrate Kimberly, but suddenly remembered his advice to himself: "Don't trust anyone", so he pretended to be a little angry and said: "I thought you were here as a model health city, but I didn't expect the beggar here to be so presumptuous, in order to ask me for money, almost pounced on me, fortunately I hid quickly, otherwise you will pay for this clothes if they get dirty!"
Amin immediately kept apologizing: "I'm so sorry, I don't know why there have been so many beggars in the past few months, and you also know that we can't drive these people away from them, so please forgive them." ”
"I'm also a generous man, and I'll forgive you for saying that, but I'd like to meet your mayor and reflect on how I feel as a tourist visiting your town." ”
Amin was overjoyed when he heard this, "Of course, of course, of course, the mayor of the town hopes that more and more people will come to this town, and I am sure that he will be very happy to meet you, and now he is arranging the preparations for the Hanukkah celebration, please come with me." ”
Before leaving, Stannis turned his head to look at the beggar magistrate, only to find that the other party was no longer paying attention to him.
Led by Amin, Stannis wandered around the alleys and corners, and as he walked, he mentally recorded a map of the town, strange to say, there were not many townspeople here, but there was a wanderer on every street, both men and women, drunk or looking dazed.
Looking at the houses on both sides of the road, they are very similar to Amin's home, the furniture is very simple, as long as there are tables and cabinets, and there are no decorations other than that.
Is it true that the people here are minimalist?, the more Stannis thought about it, the more strange it became, and now he began to believe what Evelyn said, the town was strange from top to bottom.
"Here we are. After walking for about half an hour, Amin finally stopped, and they reached the square full of pumpkins from yesterday, which was the main venue of the celebration.
Now a large number of handsome men and women in the square are happily decorating the main venue, suddenly the music sounded, everyone was relieved of the work in their hands, and began to dance happily around the huge pumpkin in the center of the square.
"What a group of happy guys!" Stannis clearly heard Amin next to him sigh again.
Strange, isn't he one of the towns? How could he say such a thing.
At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward, although he was old, but he was very well maintained, only a little conspicuous gray hair on his forehead, otherwise he could not see that his actual age was over 50 years old.
"Mayor Tucker. Amin immediately stepped forward and said politely.
Although the other party is the mayor of the town, he has no arrogance at all, and he looks very approachable.
"Thank you. Tucker smiled, holding out his hand, and Armin immediately took his hand and kissed it.
This is the first time Stannis has seen this custom, and perhaps the Emperor thinks that stirring is prevalent here, so he sent Evelyn to rectify the weathering problem.
"May I ask the guests from afar, what is your name, and where are you from?" asked the mayor politely.
"Stan, from Zivignie. ”
"Are there any other relatives in the family?"
"I am an orphan. At this point, Stennis was not lying.
Mayor Mare's expression of concern grew, "It's unfortunate, do you want to settle there?"
Hey, why don't you invite yourself to move here, the people here are too enthusiastic, right?
Seeing Stannis's hesitant expression, Mayor Tucker only smiled slightly, "Don't worry, you can think about it." It's not just you, there's a lot of other people here, you can talk to them, and I'm sure you'll make a difference about our town. ”
