Chapter 17: The Slums (Part II)

Aaron thinks about it, it is almost the same to change the area, such as the noble area or the commoner area, most of the people are just familiar faces, if you really want to call the name, it is difficult for some strong people. The same is true of the small township where Aaron was born, obviously there are not many people, but except for the neighbors who often meet, everyone else has met and never asked for a name, and even greeting them is very luxurious. Indifference and numbness are carved into everyone's face.

"Young Master, do you want to know him?" Fei Lia looked at Aaron curiously, wondering why this high-ranking young master was interested in a pauper.

"No, I'm just asking. After all, he is also a poor person, and that young man also has his own shadow at that time. Of course, these words could only be buried deep in Aaron's heart.

After two more bends, there were fewer people. Felia came to the back of a house and bent down.

Aaron stepped forward and found that Felia had lifted a manhole cover from a sewer.

"It's ......," Aaron opened his mouth.

"This is the entrance to the slum. It's underneath the whole city, and all the maps don't show it, and there's no way to show where it is. With that, Felia took the lead in getting down the sewer, and at the same time said to Aaron, "Young Master, please keep up. There are many forks in this place, and it is easy to get lost. ”

Aaron followed Felia down the stairs, the ground was so dark that he didn't have a line of sight, only the sound of running water sounded in his ears, and the rancid smell of sewage entered his nose. Aaron's feet hit the ground, and he felt some sticking to the soles of his feet, knowing that the ground was a little wet.

At this time, Felia lit a candle, and the dim light of the fire made Aaron barely see the way. This is indeed a sewer, but this sewer is very spacious, and at least three or four horses are not a problem to pass by, and it is many times better than the sewer I fell into before. Of course, foul odor and dampness are the common denominators of both sewers.

"Young master, there are many forks in the road here, and I may get lost. So young master, you must follow me closely, otherwise you will really lose it. Felia reminded Aaron repeatedly, holding the candle again and again, and began to walk slowly forward.

Aaron didn't dare to be careless about Felia's words. The fact that there are many forks in the road mentioned here is only one of the reasons, as is the lack of lighting in the sewers and the lack of reference materials to rely on. I remember when I was playing an RPG in another world, many of the mazes were designed in sewers, which also made Aaron suffer.

"There's nothing strange about this place, is there, like monsters or something?" mentioned the game, Aaron naturally thought of monsters, if some monsters came from a dark corner, it was estimated that many people would be scared to death. Jean Aaron was sure that he was one of these people.

"Young master, you saw it in a novel, right?If there are monsters here, how can the poor people live here?" Fei Liya thought for a moment and reorganized her language, "I should say that even if there were monsters, they should have been eaten by us a long time ago, right?"

Remembering the tragic fate of the mouse just now, Aaron felt that what Frelia said was not an exaggeration at all. At the same time, there is also a little more vigilance about this place, and people who are not even afraid of monsters should only exist in novels?

Aaron followed Felia around the sewers, and when he came across a place where he needed to cross the sewage, there must be a plank bridge nearby, and where there were many forks, there must be signs. Along the way, he also met a number of people, holding torches or bowing their heads, hurrying past him, or latecomers taking over, passing behind him and Freia, and then disappearing into the darkness ahead.

Occasionally, I met a mother and son, and the child pointed to this Aaron, and said in a milky voice: "That person is different from us." ”

"Watch out for him taking you away. The mother threatened.

"It's not bad to be taken away, you can have a full meal. The child said.

"But you're going to have to do many, many jobs until the day you're exhausted, and you're going to go. The mother took the child and walked away quickly.

Regarding the conversation between the mother and son, Aaron felt quite helpless, he didn't do anything, so he was shot.

"They have always had a sense of wariness, or resistance, of outsiders. But most of the people here are pretty good. Felia explained.

Aaron smiled slightly and didn't speak.

After passing two wooden bridges, there was finally some sporadic fire ahead.

"It's almost there. Felia blew out the candle and her tone became lighter.

From going down the sewer to walking here, it took about ten minutes to see a place where people lived, and Yalu thought about it, in fact, it was quite far away.

As for why these poor people live in this place, Aaron only thought of the words "face project". As the political center of a province and county, image is very important.

When Aaron spoke his mind, Felia replied no.

"You really wronged the duke. In fact, although it is very good now, there is no wind and rain, and there is no need to sleep on the streets, but the hygiene is poor, and there are no doctors here, so if someone gets sick, it may be a dead end. Felia's gaze dimmed, as if thinking of something.

The light of the fire came out of the cracks in the slums' huts and scattered on the ground. The two men continued along the light. After about three or four hundred meters of progress, Felia stopped.

"This is where I used to live, and now it's gone. Felia said.

Aaron followed Freia's gaze and moved his gaze to the ruins.

"I don't see who demolished it, but I should be able to guess who demolished it, but it doesn't matter anymore, I don't need it anymore. Frelia turned her head and barely smiled.

Aaron really didn't know anything about what Felia said, so when she spoke, he could only nod slightly.

"Isn't this Felia?Why did you come back?Didn't you hear that you sold yourself?,Now you've been kicked out?" A shrill voice suddenly sounded in Aaron's ears, Aaron frowned, and there was a trace of unhappiness in his heart.

Aaron turned around and saw a fat woman looking at Felia with a sneer.

"Auntie......" Fei Lia said timidly, her head down.

"I'm not your aunt. As she spoke, the fat woman held out her hand, "Bring it." ”

"What did you bring it?" said Felia, dazed.

"What are you putting on me? money, of course. You've been out for a month or two, and I don't believe you have no money. The fat woman snorted lightly.

"Auntie, I'm selling my body, not doing a short-term job, how can I have my own money?"

"No money, what about the money you made to sell yourself?" asked the fat woman viciously.

"I'm burying my mother......"

"What are you doing burying that woman? None of the men on her are willing to pay? I warn you, I have sold you to Uncle Edward, and you don't have to leave when you come back, follow him immediately, and help Uncle Edward earn the money back. ”

"How can you do that?" said Freia.

"Why can't I do this? I'm your aunt, you have to listen to me!" the fat woman reached out to grab Freia's hand.

Aaron's eyes widened as he looked at this strange woman. Aaron felt that it didn't matter if she ignored herself, because he also wanted to ignore this woman, but this woman's size was too large to cover his vision, and it was indeed difficult to ignore her. To Aaron's surprise, the fat woman wanted to escape from the white wolf empty-handed, and sold Felia directly in front of him. Even if I'm just an impostor, you always have to ask who I am, right?

Seeing that the fat woman was becoming more and more unreasonable, Aaron was not ready to give her a good look, and reached out and grabbed the fat woman's arm.

"You...... Who are you? Why do you stop me and want to eat my tofu? Come out quickly, someone will eat your wife's tofu. The fat woman shouted at the top of her voice.

Aaron's eyes widened, this was the most brazen person he had ever seen since he came into this world.

Phew, disgusted by pigs.

Aaron hurriedly let go of his hand as he brought Frelia behind him.

"Who dares to bully you, have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall?" a tall man walked out of a dilapidated house not far away.

"It's your niece, she's back. Hurry, hurry, contact the boss and ask him to pick people up, or run away. The fat woman said to the man.

"Run, where can I run?Yo, the chick looks good, why don't I play first?" the man looked at Felia with a smile, and Felia involuntarily shrank behind Aaron.

"Who is he?" From the man's words, Aaron could tell that this man did not have a good relationship with Freia.

"I don't know, I haven't seen this person either. Auntie, who is this man?"

"Who? The man I just found is going to clean up your prodigal hoof. If you're obedient, come over quickly, or you'll have to pick up the guest today......" said the fat woman pinching her waist.

"Shut up! Get out of here. Aaron angrily interrupted the fat woman.

"Ahh The fat woman was so angry that the fat all over her body was trembling, and she took the man's hand and said.

"Why are you so bad? But I like it, it's good advice to kill him and sell this little girl to Edward Boss. The man touched his chin, and Aaron looked like a well-behaved rabbit at the moment.

Aaron licked his tongue, after being treated by Crayford for so long, the anger in his body could finally be released.

"Young Master......" Felia pulled Aaron's arm, "or let's run away first." ”

"Don't worry, it's just a second-rate commodity, and it's not qualified to let me escape. ”

The man's smiling face froze instantly: "Second-rate goods, haha, I'll clean you up now!" The man strode towards Aaron.

Aaron looked at the man's attacking fist, smiled coldly, didn't dodge, stretched out his right hand, and firmly grasped the man's fist.
