Chapter 5: Life is really up and down
The Knight of Hossa was standing in the middle of the crowd, the sky was drizzling, the ground in the corner of the city wall was so muddy that it was trampled on, and the ground was covered with straw to prevent slipping, but it had little effect. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He was collecting the taxes collected by everyone, and the rent collector handed Jossa the big and small money bags one by one, and then handed him a list of those who had not paid the rent, and when he left, he could take some money with the acquiescence of the Hossa knights.
Finally, it was Garen's turn, and he handed the money bag in his hand to the Knight of Hosa, and then turned around and left.
The Knight of Hossa called out to him, "It feels lighter. ”
Galen paused and said, "Some people really don't have money, they always need a little money to make ends meet, so they can't collect it. ”
Hosa listened to Garen's account and said, "I wonder if a squire doesn't want his own share. ”
Garena said to the Knight of Josa: "I just want to pay tribute to you. "Garena just understood what Hosa was talking about, he only had to deduct the money of the poor, and the more he deducted, the more he would take.
"You honor me, but you disobey my commands. Get down on your knees!" Knight Hossa said coldly.
Garenne walked over slowly, kneeling in front of Josa.
Horsa looked at Garen, who was slowly kneeling, and said, "Go low." ”
Garenne slowly bent down, his hands on the ground.
"A little lower. The Knight of Hossa still looked at Garenne with dissatisfaction.
Garenne leaned even lower, and he could now see the lines of every trampled straw in the mud.
"A little lower. The Knight of Hossa uttered this sentence again.
Garenne had no choice but to lower his face a little more and press his face to the dirty dirt, clutching a handful of dirt tightly in his hands.
"Remember the smell of the poor rot? Child, I have hope for you, how can you want to go back to the way things were?" the Knight of Hossa looked at Garenne with a blank expression.
Garenne looked up eagerly and said, "I'm not a child anymore, master. I don't want to be poor anymore, I want to be a knight. ”
Josa looked at Galen and said, "Why do you try so hard to become a knight, but in the end you don't want to take advantage of the opportunity?"
He paused, crouched down and looked directly into Garen's eyes: "You are good at sword, but you have made me lose a lot of money, pack up your things and get out! ”
Then he got up and turned his head to leave, and Garenne climbed up in embarrassment, hugged one of his legs tightly, and said, "No, whatever you tell me in the future, I will do my best to accomplish it." Whether it's scrubbing your armor, feeding your horses, or a harder and more tiring job, I've got you covered. I don't want to end up with nothing. ”
Josa turned to Galen and said, "Then I'll give you a chance for the sake of your sincerity and talent." I did the math, and you still owe me 1 gold and 11 silver coins. Give me the money, and then you can continue to be your squire with your own sword. Join us and become a knight. ”
Garenne said in despair: "I can't steal so much even if I steal, please, I will do whatever I want, I only hope you can let me continue to be a squire." ”
Horsa stared at him fiercely: "Then grab it from those poor sour goods, get up quickly and find me money." ”
......
Afternoon. The rain in the sky became heavier and heavier, and many people gathered in the center of the square again. This time, everyone's hearts were very puzzled, obviously the last time the knight squire was canonized in three days, why do they have to canonize three people at once now.
At this time, Gareen was standing in the crowd below, watching as Hosa canonized Hubert and the three at once. Three days ago he knelt there and accepted the canonization, but now he was not even a small soldier, he had lost his sword, he had lost his profession, and even the Knight of Hossa had to make him pay off a huge sum of nearly two gold coins in three months.
Originally, it was painful enough to lose his source of livelihood, but he ended up with a huge debt, and he tried his best to repay 6 silver coins.
Galene stared blankly at Hubert, who was reading the oath on the stage, until an old man with a sack on his back came up and spat at his feet and said, "The more knights there are, the more wars there are, the more the people suffer, you garbage lackey, why doesn't your master want you?"
Garenne felt speechless, he had to smile awkwardly there, and continued to stand here looking at the long-ended canonization ceremony.
Until the crowd had all dispersed, Garenne was still standing there. The rain has become very heavy. He was soaking wet, and he didn't know where to go.
Gradually, a man approached Garenne, and she held an umbrella to protect him from the rain, and he said to him, "Go to the church and take shelter from the rain, so that you don't catch a cold." ”
Garenne said, "I don't need your care, Mina. Did I lose my identity that made you happy, but now it's good, how am I going to survive? ”
Mina said, "No, I didn't think so, I just want you to wake up, I have some money here, all of which I saved up when I was a priest." It's not much, only 7 credits, but it will take a little load off your shoulders. ”
"I don't need your mercy, Mina, I'm going back. Go back to your church and continue to help the others, and as for me, I'll figure it out myself. ”
With that, Garenne walked quickly out of the umbrella and disappeared into the vast rain.
"Garen, I'm ......" Mina tried to call out to Garen, but Garenne ignored her and left her alone in the middle of the square.
......
In the middle of the night, the rain not only showed no signs of lessening, but became heavier and heavier.
Galene curled up on his broken bed, his broken room leaking badly. Or rather, it wasn't a rain leak at all, his house was only half roofed at all, and the heavy rain fell on him almost without any barrier.
Suddenly, the door of his house was pushed open, and a man came up wrapped in a tarpaulin, and he said, "Hey, kid, your roof is leaking badly." Come to my house, although my house also leaks, but it is not so bad. ”
Garenne recognized it as the pottery shop owner Darik, and he wanted to refuse, but the heavy rain had left him speechless. He had no choice but to follow Derrick into Derrick's shop.
Entering Derrick's shop, he was greeted by six dragon sculptures on the counter, and he remembered what he had done before, and smiled helplessly.
"Hungry, my wife has just cooked a meal, let's drink some soup to warm up." ”
