The mercenaries got the money, the people left, and the people scattered.

For this world where people can be killed casually for five silver coins, at this moment, Donner has an indescribable anger, disgust, and hatred.

Donner squatted down and carefully helped the little figure lying on the ground up, and asked softly, "Little brother, how is it, is there any pain on your body?"

The fifteen or sixteen boy was covered in dirt, his clothes were in tatters, and his face was pale, as if he was struggling to endure pain.

The boy shook his head, thanked him in a faint voice, struggled for a moment, then got up and covered his head to leave.

Donner didn't stay, and the boy walked ten meters away and suddenly turned around, bowed deeply to Donner, and thanked him.

Donner smiled and nodded in response, and the boy turned away with complicated eyes, walking faster and faster, farther and farther, disappearing around the corner of the side street.

"Let's go!" Donner said back to Jason and the others.

After a few steps, he suddenly stopped, and Donner looked at his waist, stunned.

"What's the matter, Captain!" asked Jason.

Donner recalled it carefully, and then a wry smile appeared on his face: "The money on his body is gone." ”

"What!" Ma Xiu kicked his eyes and said angrily, "It must be the kid just now, only he has touched you." ”

"I didn't expect us to save him, and he actually stole your money, the head of the regiment. Matthew was angry, "He's injured and can't go far, Commander, I'll take someone to get him back." ”

Donner waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't have a lot of money, besides, why are you arresting him back?

"That'...... That's it, we saved him. Matthew was puzzled.

"Okay, just when we are good people to the end, he ...... Money should be urgently needed. Donner sighed.

Matthew was unhappy when he heard this, and muttered, "We saved him, how can this be!"

Donner didn't explain much, and from the way he dressed, it was obvious that the boy was from the slums.

Looking at that thin figure, it is estimated that no one will hire him, and he will not be able to do any heavy work.

But people always have to survive, and when they are tormented by hunger, disease, and the threat of death, it is not difficult to understand that they do sneaky things.

It shouldn't, but what can be done...... It's such a world!

It was only then that Donner finally understood what the boy meant by suddenly turning around and bending down.

That's not a thanks, it's an apology!

Donner sighed to himself, and Hans and the others continued to look for another street.

Donner didn't know that just around the corner of them, there was a pair of complicated eyes behind them.

They kept walking, and the thin figure limped, hiding behind Donner and the others.

Downer walked through the southwest business district, but still couldn't find a suitable store for sale, and in the evening, a few people felt hungry and tired, so they returned to the restaurant.

And the little figure also followed him all the way to the restaurant, and after seeing Donner and the others enter, he didn't come out for a long time, so he left.

The boy was very familiar with walking through the streets and alleys, found a place where no one was, and carefully pulled out a cloth bag from his chest.

This cloth bag was stolen by him from Donner.

The boy glanced warily to both sides, and only when he saw that there was no one did he open the cloth bag.

Downer said there wasn't a lot of money in it, and that was for him. He led Cancer Island, and the porcelain trade brought huge profits, which were really not much in a small cloth bag compared to that.

However, not to mention the poor, or to the commoners, or to the freedmen, it can be regarded as a huge amount of money.

Usually on Cancer Island, there is no chance to spend money, but this time when he came to the mainland, Donner specially packed some money in a cloth bag in case of emergency.

In the money bag, there were forty or fifty copper coins, twenty or so silver coins, and one gold coin.

Don't look at such a small bag of money, it is enough for a family of three to live comfortably for more than a year.

After the boy opened the money bag, Mei Zizi counted them one by one, especially after seeing that there were more than 20 silver coins in it, his face showed a touch of joy.

But then, something different from the silver and copper coins caught his attention, and the boy picked it up and looked at it, and the coin was golden yellow, rounder than the copper and silver coins, and the heads and patterns carved on it were extremely delicate.

The boy didn't seem to have seen such a thing, and he didn't know what it was, so he looked a little puzzled, and after thinking about it, he threw it back into the bag, and finally took out a dozen copper coins, and hid the money bag in his chest again.

The boy turned into another street, found a steamed bun shop, and took out some copper coins and exchanged them for black steamed buns.

However, he thought about it again and bought two white steamed buns.

The boy asked about the wheat flavor of the steamed buns, swallowed his saliva, wanted to eat but held back, pinched the steamed buns wrapped in large leaves, and walked briskly towards home.

Instead of taking the main road, the boy walked around the alley to an area of low bungalows.

This is the slum of the Northwest Territory, and the boy is leaning over the food, shielding the food he is holding, and his eyes are cautiously observing his surroundings.

After more than ten minutes, I returned home.

The boy pushed open the crumbling door of the house, closed it, and pressed against the rotten wooden pillar.

A little girl's voice came from the house: "Brother, are you back?"

"Diana, it's me!" the boy suppressed his joy and walked briskly into the house.

Dark, damp, with squeaky rat calls.

The boy muttered, "Let me catch you, and you'll have meat to eat." ”

Then, with a little excitement in the boy's voice, he said, "Diana, you see what I've brought back." ”

It was not yet dark, and a little girl of about seven or eight years old came out of the darkness when a few leaky cracks in the roof shed light.

The girl was skinny, yellow and unkempt, but her eyes were bright. Diana had wet hands and was just doing the laundry.

Diana walked up to her brother, sniffed it, and laughed at two small dimples: "Brother, are you back with black steamed buns?"

"Are you looking?" the boy proudly led his sister to the wooden table and placed the food on it.

Diana opened it and looked at it, stared at it with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "And the white steamed buns, brother, where did you get the money." ”

"I met a nice guy today. The boy grinned.

Diana didn't believe it, how could her brother meet good Samaritans every day? Then, she looked up and saw blood on the boy's clothes.

"Brother, you're hurt. Diana exclaimed.

"It's okay, I accidentally fell. My brother said indifferently.

Diana was silent before she said, "Brother, can we not steal?"

"I didn't!" the elder brother's face changed slightly, and then he defended.

"Someone told me and I knew it. Diana lowered her head, and tears flowed out: "Almost every time you come back, you get hurt, I'm afraid." ”

The boy stubbornly didn't speak.

"Father, are you feeling better today?" asked my brother after a while.
