Chapter 880: Ezio's Great Adventure
Although someone is confident in a child's resilience and adaptability, not everyone can quickly accept the changes and gaps in their environment on the first day.
The experience of starvation was only experienced in the snowy mountains with the black dragon, but the memories of that time were as if they did not exist for Ezio. After all, the child was too young at that time, and he couldn't even speak in his infancy, so he could only survive on the living blood of the creatures that the black dragon occasionally hunted. Needless to say, children who are severely malnourished will have memories of things.
Now this body is fat, or someone does not make any restrictions, let the child eat openly, and this is what he raised.
Fleeing from that home, Ezio didn't know for a moment how he was going to live. Even when he was hungry, he didn't want to 'take' something to eat from those bakeries or fruit stalls, but to starve himself masochistically to see if anyone would take pity on him. Ezio just walked down the street in a daze.
Because of the drizzle, the valuable clothes on Ezio's body didn't look like anything at once. He walked blankly, and at the same time instinctively looked for the path drill, whether he wanted to be found or not, he himself couldn't figure it out.
Until he was tired and hungry, Ezio didn't think about going back. Only then did I come back to my senses and see clearly that I had come to a dirty, smelly place. There were many figures of all sizes lying horizontally in the corners, and I didn't know if they were dead people or people sleeping there.
This is when the child's strong adaptability manifests. Ezio found a dry place where there was no rain and lay down on his side. Tighten the already wet clothes on his body, intending to fall asleep along this groggy head. But no matter how sleepy he was, the trouble of an empty stomach still made him unable to sleep peacefully. The thunderous sound was extra clear on a night like this, and it was extra uncomfortable.
Just as Ezio curled up, hoping for a place to settle his stomach, a small piece of black bread was handed to him. In the darkness of the night, Ezio recognized only a rather thin figure. The glimmer of the street at the mouth of the alley makes it impossible to see each other's appearances.
"I'm hungry, I'll give you this."
It was a rather thin, childish voice. For the little fat man now, it is undoubtedly like heaven. Without much thought, Ezio took the piece of hard bread and said vaguely, "Thank you." Then he swallowed the hard, tasteless black bread.
At this time, another voice came, with a little anger in his tone, and said, "Sister, how do you give things to others to eat." That's your food tomorrow. ”
"Brother, but he has nothing to eat, so pitiful." The little girl said in her childlike voice.
A figure that was not much taller than the girl who spoke, also appeared with the light on his back. The boy wanted to snatch the bread back, but he couldn't reach into someone else's mouth to get what he had eaten. So he gave up, just pulled back his little sister, and said, "You deserve to be hungry tomorrow." Go to bed early, don't get robbed of that dry land. ”
"Okay, brother."
The brother and sister held hands and walked back to the shadows, where they had slept tonight. Ezio tried to follow up, but in the end he stayed where he was, reverting back to the position he had found before.
Staying in that house, Ezio didn't actually learn anything, he had the proper manners, the common sense of ordinary people, almost everything that the magician had said, or what others had said, he had memorized. Just remembering it doesn't mean you're going to do it. Not to mention that he also wants more attention and concern, so he will naturally think of some ways to attract the attention of others.
It's just that it seems that he is a child that no one cares about after all. In self-pity, Ezio fell into a deep sleep. The reason why I can sleep is that in addition to being really tired, the hard piece of black bread is also indispensable. Whole grains are indigestible, so even if the portion is not large, it is easy to feel full, but you will get hungry faster.
The next morning, in the midst of a nightmare, Ezio was woken up by what appeared to be the two siblings who had given him food the previous night. When the eldest brother patted him on the cheek very unceremoniously, he said, "New here, wake up." If you want food to eat, you'll have to help. ”
Azio, who was woken up, rubbed his eyes and realized that he was surrounded by a group of children, large and small. It just doesn't look like it's looking for trouble. Everyone looks the same, thin and weak. Although the clothes have quite a few patches, they are still kept basic and do not look dirty.
The eldest of them stepped forward and approached Ezio, who was dazed, and looked up and down. "New here, you look like a child of a rich family." Is there a place to go back? ”
Gritting his teeth, Ezio shook his head and said, "I don't have a place to go back. ”
"Then follow me, at least I can get food to eat." The head of the child said this, and then turned around and beckoned to the other children, large and small, who were around.
Ezio didn't understand what to do, but he followed. A small piece of black bread last night, although I didn't feel hungry for the time being, woke up this morning, I felt even hungrier.
This group of orphans gathered together is not doing anything to steal and deceive. Instead, they find jobs that ordinary people are unwilling to do and earn a meager salary. It's like using a tow truck to carry two large buckets early in the morning, and going down the street to clean up the drowning barrels of every house.
Because the car was a bit heavy, and everyone was a child, everyone got on, some pulled the cart, and some pushed the cart. Ezio followed the car, learning from the people around him, pushing forward as hard as he could, until he reached the door of the next house.
The children, of course, are not quiet lords, and they complain about the previous years, and they can collect more night incense – i.e., feces and urine. It's just that in the past two years, the toilet flushing is in charge, and almost all people with a solid family will install a set of the most ordinary. The sewage is concentrated in the sewers, and it is not their turn to collect it, so the amount of sewage collected has dropped sharply.
After collecting a few small areas, the children carried large and small wooden basins on their heads, and went around to collect dirty clothes and come back to wash. At this time, you can use the night incense that you have just collected. They dump feces into the sewer and urine to wash clothes.
Rubbing the dirty and yellow part with urine will make that part of the garment a little whiter. Rinse with clean water and twist dry.
Especially after washing, dehydration is usually done by two children, one twisting the other, and twisting the clothes as much as possible. Then put it back in the wooden basin and send it back to the person who sent the laundry to collect some payment.
In addition, there are also going to the market to collect some rotten vegetable leaves, or food that others have dropped on the ground. Sometimes there are vendors who need extra help, and they will help after negotiating a payment.
In short, a large group of children had to work all day to earn money to buy a few pieces of whole brown bread. Then, under the supervision of the Child King, the children who helped were fairly distributed, including Ezio, who was not yet familiar with everything.
Looking at the small piece of black bread in his hand, it was not much bigger than what he ate last night. He was still thinking that when he got the food, he would return the portion he had eaten last night. But if I return the little food I got, I will be hungry today. So the fat boy is in trouble.
