Chapter 32: Chris (1)

The environment in the slums always makes people sick for no reason, and once they get sick, there is no other way than to carry it themselves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is no such thing as a sanity here, and if you go to the Holy See for health and help, so many people will not leave.

Chris has been wandering around the city for the past few days, hoping that a family can give a job, her sister has been bedridden for several days, and she may not be able to survive without treatment, but as a poor person, where can she have the money to get medicine, she can only find a job to get an income.

After taking care of his sister early this morning, Chris left the slums to look for opportunities in the city, and he was very anxious that he had not achieved anything for several days.

Commerce in White Mist City is thriving, while other industries are weak. Ranked sixth in terms of strength, most of which is due to business, industry, military, etc. are simply not enough to see.

Due to the frequent business exchanges, most of the time they can find a temporary job in the city, and the poor here have more opportunities than in other cities, but having opportunities does not mean that there is money to be made.

As temporary workers, their wages are pitiful, and once the goods are damaged, not only will they not have any money, but they will be threatened by the steward, either to work to pay off their debts or to be severely beaten. So sometimes they did a day's work and got just a loaf of bread.

Chris has also experienced this kind of thing, a bag of barley somehow broke and half of the wheat fell to the ground. The steward was annoyed and asked him to choose what to do. In fact, it was enough to put the wheat in again, and his salary was enough to compensate two whole bags, but the steward fined all of them and told him to get out, and he didn't get anything for most of the day.

Chris was not a pauper in the city before, he was from a small town downstream of the river, and his family was in a good situation, because he offended the local nobles in the previous two years and was forced to flee to White Mist City.

At the beginning, I started a small business with a little capital, and I didn't make much money but at least I could get by. Only half a year later, his small business was taken by Peel, a big merchant in the city, and dozens of people were in the same situation. They looked for the consul of White Mist City, but they were driven out of the door, and those who were entangled were even whipped by the officers and soldiers.

Having lost his petty business, Chris had no choice but to end up in the slums, with a few Peel "compensation" money in his hands, and bought a decent home here, at least it won't leak when it rains. In order to support himself and his sister, he began to work part-time. Regular workers will not be filled by poor people, and as long as they have this status, they can only work part-time.

"Chris, came out so early today?" Shure saw him and greeted him warmly across the street.

Chris didn't want to pay attention to him, Shure didn't have a good reputation, stealing, gambling and other behaviors were all his labels, but he never regarded these things as a shame, but as some heroic deeds, as if others didn't know.

"Hey, Chris?" Shure clearly didn't give up.

"Shure, what's the matter?" Chris's mind was to find a temporary job, and his sister needed money to treat her illness.

Shure had approached him several times before, trying to get him involved in his actions, but Chris had refused each time. But Shure is not a person who gives up easily, once it doesn't work, twice, twice, three times, and there will always be a success.

"I heard that your sister is sick, and it seems to be quite serious. Shure ran over in a few steps and said with a worried look on his face, as if it was his loved one who was sick.

"Hmm. "Chris doesn't want to talk to him more, it's better to deal with less of this kind of person.

"Hey, if it weren't for Peel, how would you have fallen to this point, what a bad guy. Shure is still clear about Chris's situation, and Shure has all the information about these people when several small businesses were forced to live in the slums.

"Hmm. Chris still didn't want to pay attention to him, I don't know how many times he heard it, he got tired of hearing it, and Shure still said that he was not annoyed. I just don't know if this person is missing roots in his head, and he can't see the boredom on other people's faces.

"How could those officers and soldiers offend Peel for the sake of our little people. In fact, to deal with this kind of wicked person, you need to use the methods of the wicked, right?" Shure continued to lead, his purpose was to mobilize his hatred of Peel step by step.

"Hmm. "Chris didn't know what he wanted to do, he always felt like there was something behind it.

Shure has never been someone who cares about others, he must care about other people's affairs for his own plan, and that person is just a part of the plan.

"And do you want to deal with the wicked?" Shure began to reveal the real reason for his accosting.

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in your plans, and if nothing else, I'm going to get busy. Chris just gave up, and acting with him would only be asking for trouble.

"Don't give up in such a hurry, you must know that dealing with the wicked will always be blessed by the gods of nature, and maybe you will have the money to treat your sister's illness. Shure had a smile on his face, but he didn't have his front teeth, his lower front teeth were yellow, and his smile didn't look pleasant.

"You go find someone else. "Chris just walked away, staying here would only be a waste of time.

After a long morning, there was no shortage of people from the city to the docks.

When he went back to take care of his sister for lunch at noon, he happened to come across the performance of the Humpty Dumpty brothers, and he knew about these two people, but they were the ones who took the money to do things. How can a town with a name he's never heard be so good? He chose to ignore it.

Besides, even if he wanted to give it a try, the knight was nowhere to be found, and there was no way to talk about it. What's more, he couldn't leave his sister behind and leave alone, he couldn't do this kind of thing.

When I got home, my sister's condition was even worse. Chris quickly wiped her head with water, her forehead was hot to the touch, but her face looked unusually pale. I'm afraid it won't be too good if it drags on any longer.

Seeing such a scene, Chris was upset and decided to go to Shure.

"Haha, I'll just say don't give up so quickly. Shure was looking outside the gambling hall at this time, he had no money in his hand and couldn't get in, and the steward inside looked at this kind of person very closely, so don't think about entering if you don't have money.

"Tell me, what's the matter. "Chris can't wait and wants to get the money right away.

"Don't worry, good things always have to wait. Wait for me at the entrance of the main street this evening, remember that it is late and you will not have your share. Shure had a strange smile on his face, I don't know if it was because the money was in hand or if Chris finally got his senses, but he could see that he was in a good mood anyway.

Chris got a reply and hurried back, as long as he survived the night.
