Chapter 397: Refugees (Part II)
Ada was stunned, choked by their words, he felt that there was something wrong in this, but he didn't know how to say it for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"If your mother, your father, and your brother ......" Anderson pointed at them one by one: "What would you think when you see you like this, eating and drinking for nothing in the house of two innocent old people, and still shouting for meat?"
"They can't see it. The man had a hideous face, and seemed to be holding back tears. When he said this, everyone else shouted, "Yes...... They can't see it anymore. ”
Seeing that these people were unreasonable, Ada hurriedly said: "Anderson, what is the reason to talk about this kind of person...... "Roll up his sleeves and make a gesture to rush forward."
Anderson stopped him and shook his head at him: "It's all poor people......"
"Poor and reasonable?" said the lame Grover.
The man looked at the momentum of Ada and the others, and said to the refugees on the left and right: "Don't move anyone, just let these masters fight, and if they are killed, they will be treated as if they didn't escape!"
Ada and Grover had probably never seen anyone talking like this, and they didn't know if they should do it for a while.
Anderson took Ada's hand and slowly let go, looking the Bothon man up and down, "It's kind of kind, no wonder they all obey you......"
The man looked at him, quite neither humble nor arrogant.
"Since there is a kind, then let me ask you, are these two old men kind enough to take in little Kuka?" Anderson asked calmly.
The man smiled contemptuously, "Did you take in those two orange crystals?" ”
Anderson frowned, turned to look for little Kuka's grandmother, only to see the old woman's head suddenly shrink back from the kitchen door.
Ada was anxious: "Ah, what are you hiding!" As he spoke, he ran towards the kitchen and pulled the old man out: "You tell them!"
The old woman was so frightened by Ada that she almost fell to the ground.
"Ada, be careful!" shouted Cripple Grover.
"I'm dying, what's there to be afraid of?" Ada yelled at the old man, "You...... You tell them, did anyone take your money?"
The old woman looked at Ada in embarrassment, and then at the twenty or so young refugees, and shook her head incessantly: "No money, I have no money......"
Ada stared, a little confused, he couldn't believe that Ed and Emma, who seemed to be honest, would hack the old man's son's pension.
"Little Grandma Kukata," cried Emma, "you can't lie!"
Anderson shook his head, walked up to the old woman, and said softly, "You should be reassured, right?"
The old woman nodded vigorously, Xiao Kuka was rescued by these people, how could she not be at ease.
"Then take out the money and show it to them......" Anderson looked at the old woman's frightened eyes and explained, "Are you afraid that we will leave, and you can't protect the money?" ”
After listening to Anderson's words, the old woman hesitated for a moment, and then she trembled and reached into the thick cotton pants, and took out a small cloth bag for a long time, and then untied it layer by layer in front of everyone, revealing four orange crystals in it.
"You!" the man was a little angry, "Didn't you say that they were all taken away?!!Why are there more?!" The others also looked incredulous.
Anderson instructed the old woman to put away the magic crystal, walked back into the courtyard, and snorted, "Don't you see it yet? ”
"Yes, you don't know what to do......" Ada said.
The look of shame on the face of the man flashed with shame, and he shouted: "You are the master, I have nothing to say...... But who can tell me, the same Bothians, why they are so easy and our family is ruined, why do they eat meat and serve us this rotten bean?" he pointed to the plate on the table in front of him.
"A plate of beans, seventy-nine years ago, I would have killed you all for this plate of beans...... Anderson suddenly roared, and then, as if trying desperately to suppress his emotions, clenched his fists, and then slowly released.
"Anderson?" the cripple looked at him in surprise.
"I'm sorry, I've been hiding it from you......" Anderson smiled bitterly at him, then waved his hand lightly, only to see a wheal swirl around the courtyard and disappear.
Ada and Grover both looked at him in disbelief, they had known each other for decades and had never known that Anderson was a magician.
"Let's do it, we're going to die......" The man pursed his lips and spat on the ground.
Anderson ignored him, looked up at the sky, and said slowly: "The last time the beast tide hit, I waited in line at the cable car station in the courtyard under the wind to go to the mountain, but there were too many people, and the line didn't move much for a long, long time, and then the beast tide pressed over like a dark cloud, and we knew it was too late......" He said, his eyes gradually lost focus, as if he was reliving the scene at that time.
“...... Tonya took Nora into my arms, and she made me swear that I would let the child live...... I can't remember how many people I killed before I climbed onto a cable car where I didn't know where to go, and watched as Tonya was swallowed by the monster......"
Anderson's tone was still calm, but Ada and Grover were wiping tears from their eyes, and they heard Anderson say the name Tonya.
"The cable car took us to the clouds, which was the peak of a mountain of Lord Helian...... There were only a dozen people on the mountain, and we didn't have anything to eat...... I begged the old man, and I said it was okay if I died, and begged him to give Nora a bite to eat and help me feed her...... He ignores me, I can't beat him...... Combined, we are no match for their family...... Nora cried until she had no strength...... I know she's dying......"
Anderson said this, tears streaming down his cheeks, and he just let it flow, still holding his head up.
Neither Ada nor Grover knew that Anderson had children, so they knew how the story ended without asking.
The courtyard was silent, except for the distant roar of rage outside the city, reminding everyone that such stories might still be happening.
Then, Anderson turned to the group of refugees and said, "I know you will hate, you will be angry, you will think why this is happening to you, yes, it's not fair, there is nothing fair in this world, but no matter who you want to hate, you shouldn't hate these two old people...... They are treating you with kindness, and if this kindness is reciprocated by you, what will they do next time something like this happens?"
Anderson withdrew his gaze from the sky, walked up to the Porteron refugee, and pointed to the plate on the table: "You think it's just a plate of beans?"
The man of Potten gave up on his feet, sat down on the chair behind him, and cried.
At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the gate of the manor and shouted through the fence: "Master John...... Young Master John is outside the city!"
