"Hey......"

Professor Voss saw this paragraph, although it was not the first time he had seen it,

But I couldn't help but sigh. In this way, Raleigh, who took away these fields, was even named good.

It's ironic.

What's even more ironic is that in the text, this Mr. Raleigh really saved the lives of those people.

But the survival of these people should not have depended only on the 'charity' of this Mr. Raleigh.

They had food in their fields, but they couldn't harvest it, and they didn't keep the original harvest themselves.

And in the text, it seems that these people were taken away from the food, and the 'holy war' that broke out very suddenly was actually not sudden at all.

When Mr. Raleigh took away the ten fields that the Hows family had mortgaged to him, as well as the fields of other families, to raise sheep,

Even earlier, this 'holy war' was an inevitable result.

"Hoo ......"

With a long breath, Professor Voss turned his head and looked at his wife again,

Seeing that his wife was still immersed in the story in the book, she was reading.

Professor Voss turned back and continued reading.

……

In the text, the plot continues.

Sitting at the door of the house, little Gerrit looked at Grandpa Burton, who was praising Mr. Rowley on the side of the road to the other village residents.

Grandpa Burton smiled, but the rest of the village was silent.

"It's a good choice to become a slave of Mr. Raleigh, at least not to think about the church collecting food in two months. At least survive in this difficult time. ”

"Mr. Raleigh is such a kind man, he is obviously one of those useless people, and he is willing to spend grain to buy their fields."

"Sure enough, everything is the merciful Lord, the best arrangement."

Little Glitter kept looking at Grandpa Burton and the villagers,

Among those residents was Grandpa Burton, who still had some surplus food at home, but was unwilling to marry Uncle Race, Leyna.

Uncle Sayy listened to Grandpa Burton's words and paused,

And then it was gone.

"Uncle Burton, I'm going to the field, I'll go first."

"Okay, go ahead, huh...... If you don't have enough food at home, maybe you can sell some fields like Mr. Raleigh. ”

Grandpa Burton was gone, and some of the other village residents were also away from the road.

Little Glitter looked at it, as if he understood something, but there was still doubt in his eyes.

"Gollum ......"

After most of the grain was taken away, little Gerrit and Hoss had not really eaten for a long time.

The daily food is eaten, but it can only make little Glitter feel less hungry after eating, and it won't be long before he gets hungry again.

Compared to the first few days,

Now, little Gerrit only felt that he was getting more and more hungry, hungry faster and faster.

It's like Hoss said, the more you go to the back, the harder it gets,

Sometimes when I think about something, when I think about it, all I have in my mind is 'hunger' and 'food'

Covering his stomach and picking up a hemp rope, Little Gerrit strangled his stomach that was screaming again.

It didn't feel so uncomfortable before I raised my head again.

From the front of the house, looking ahead, you can see Mr. Raleigh's sheep in a large field.

The sheep are much larger than they were at the beginning.

Little Glitter didn't want to look at it, but when he looked over there, he couldn't help but stop.

Lamb, mutton.

Little Glitter swallowed.

He had forgotten how long it had been since his family had eaten meat.

The saliva can't be suppressed, and the stomach is like a rebellion.

The gastric juice poured down Little Gret's throat, and the burning Little Glitter was particularly uncomfortable.

Those sheep, just a stone's throw away, and so many......

"Little Glitter...... Let's get inside. ”

At this time, Hoss, who had been busy in the fields for a while, came back from outside.

In his hand, he still has a handful of crop seedlings that are probably not yet ripe, and there are some things that I don't know if they are weeds or wild vegetables.

"In the evening, we'll probably be able to eat a little bit."

Hoss took the things in his hand and said to little Gerrit with a smile.

Little Gerritt came to his senses at the shouts of his father, Hoss, turned his head, and stood up.

"Okay, do you need me to come with you? Horse? ”

"No, if you're hungry, drink some water, sit down, and I'll make our dinner right away."

"Hmmm......"

Little Gerrit looked at his father, Hoss, and went into the kitchen.

Turning his head, he looked out again.

At this time,

Suddenly there was a noisy movement outside the house, probably a beating and scolding,

"Stinky bitch, you bitch, you seduce men for food...... You bitch, if you die, you will go to hell. ”

It was Aunt Emma from the village who beat and scolded people, and it was Laina who was beaten and scolded.

Aunt Emma seemed to be extremely angry, spitting a lot of expletives in her mouth, and whipping Laina in her hands,

There was also a man next to him, presumably Aunt Emma's husband, who was pulling Aunt Emma along.

Little Gerritt looked at this scene, stood up suddenly, and his eyes widened.

At this time, his father, Hoss, seemed to hear movement in the kitchen and walked out.

"What's wrong?"

"Aunt Emma is scolding Aunt Leyna, as if it is, as if it is ......"

Little Gerrit replied.

Father Hoss frowned and walked out.

Little Glitter also walked over.

"Damn bitch, why don't you just die. What are you doing while you're still alive? ”

"If you are abandoned by your own man, you should return to the Lord's kingdom of heaven, not do something here that will go to hell!"

"Stop scolding, there's nothing to do, what nonsense are you talking about. A woman scolds on the road, doesn't she dislike and be ashamed? ”

Aunt Emma was furious, and the man pulling Aunt Emma seemed to be angry as well.

Aunt Leyna, who was blocked on the road, was silent, bowing her head and letting Aunt Emma beat and scold.

"Mrs. Emma, stop fighting."

Hoss walked over and persuaded him,

And then I was also scolded by Emma,

"What are you doing, you've slept with this bitch too?"

"What nonsense? There are children here! ”

Aunt Emma's husband said,

Aunt Emma glanced at little Glitter and restrained herself.

Little Gerrit watched from the sidelines, and then at Aunt Emma, and then at Aunt Leyna.

Earlier Mr. Raleigh came to collect slaves,

It's also conditional, don't be too old, don't be too thin.

And Aunt Laina is the kind of Aunt Laina who is too thin, and who is already thin.

After starving for so long, he was already skinny to the bone.

Mr. Raleigh was only willing to buy Aunt Reyna's land, but he was not willing to ask for her.

In the end, little Gerrit only heard that Aunt Reina had not gone to Mr. Raleigh's house, but had only sold part of the family's land.

The food she got in exchange wasn't enough for her to survive for long.

"Mrs. Emma, there may be some misunderstanding, Reina, she ......."

"There was no misunderstanding, no misunderstanding at all...... Reyna, better not let me see what you do again! ”

Aunt Emma probably took care of little Gerrit's presence, and didn't say too many more excessive words,

was dragged away by her husband.

"Leyna ......"

"Aunt Lyna......

Hoss and Little Glitter called Leyna one after another, but neither knew what to say.

Laina turned her head, still with some wounds on her face, smiled at little Gerrit, and then didn't say anything,

And left.

Little Glitter watched as Reina walked farther and farther away.

Then Hoss, who had paused for a while, finally spoke up again and beckoned little Gerrit back to the house.

"When we go back, dinner is about to be ready."
