"Slow down, eat ...... slowly"

Little Gerrit just ate the first bite of meat, and he couldn't stop,

The wolf swallowed, almost stuffed it into its mouth, and ate the meat that I didn't know if it was chicken or bird.

Laina comforted little Gerrit, and didn't let little Gerrit slow down a little, and finally just stroked little Gret's back, afraid that he would choke.

After muttering like this, eating all the meat into his stomach, little Gerrit finally had other ideas in his mind.

"Aunt Lyna......

In his hands were some small bones left, and his hands were full of oil,

Little Glitter looked up at Aunt Lyina, a little worried in her eyes.

He remembered Aunt Emma's beating and scolding of Aunt Lyrina in the evening,

And even Aunt Emma's house should not have this meat.

"Aunt Leyna...... How did you get all this meat? ”

Little Gerrit asked,

"Why did you give me ......?"

Laina listened to Little Grett's question, just smiled and stroked Little Gretel's hair,

"Okay, you're done eating, and I'm leaving. Don't tell anyone else, you know? ”

Finally, Laina was careful and took away the small bones that little Gerrit had eaten.

Then he hurried away, and little Grett followed two steps out full of doubts and worries.

I watched Aunt Laina still hurry away, and then gradually disappeared into the distant night.

Standing outside the door, little Glitter looked at the night, still a little worried.

There was a pause for a moment before turning back and returning to the house.

When he returned to the house, he saw that the door of his father's room had changed from closed to hidden.

Father Hoth may have woken up, but did not come out.

Little Gerrit looked and went back to his house.

Lying in bed,

Little Glitter was still worried.

All I could remember was the image of Aunt Emma beating and scolding Aunt Leyna in the evening.

But

Probably not so hungry to think, little Glitter was still a little groggy and couldn't stay asleep, and fell asleep.

……

The next day, little Gerrit was woken up because of an upset stomach.

He had diarrhea.

From dawn in the morning, he kept having diarrhea until he went out.

It finally relieved a little, but it still made him a little tired all day, and his face was a little pale.

On the same day, little Gerrit still went to school.

In school,

He asked the teacher a question about Mr. Raleigh.

Mr. Raleigh bought the fields of the women of the village with grain, and took some of them away as slaves.

Why is this so, is Mr. Raleigh right?

But little Gerrit didn't get the answer he wanted from the teacher,

The teacher simply sympathized with the plight of the women, saying that they would pass the test of the Lord and return to the Lord's heavenly kingdom.

Then he sighed at Mr. Raleigh's kindness.

These words sounded like they were similar to Grandpa Burton, or even to Reina before,

But little Gerritt's question was not answered, it was not the answer he wanted.

At last

After leaving school that day and going to Dr. Munch's office for an afternoon,

Little Glitter asked Dr. Munch the same question.

"The teacher said that Mr. Raleigh is kind, and even if he takes these people into slavery, at least he can let those people live."

"Haha, kindness? Is Raleigh kind? Let your teacher heal his brain, maybe let him come to me, and I'll do an operation on him to amputate his head, since it's useless. ”

Hearing Little Gerritt's question, Dr. Munch laughed straight away.

"Maybe you can go and see how the bodies of a few slaves can be thrown out of Raleigh's house every day, and those people are thrown directly into the woods outside the city to save trouble. Do you know how these people died? starved to death. ”

"Even if Raleigh's family had so many fields, he wouldn't take so much grain to feed so many slaves, but not only your village, but there are other villages around here, what does he Raleigh want so many slaves for.

But as a slave, he saved even a bag of grain from those ten fields. ”

Dr. Munch said casually, and then his expression changed,

"Alright, stop asking me those weird questions, take your own pay and leave...... By the way, you went to the bathroom three times this afternoon, I don't want it to be like this tomorrow, just a little herbal residue left, maybe it has some effect on diarrhea, take it, fuck off. ”

After giving Little Gerrit ten copper coins and a packet of medicine today, Dr. Munch urged Little Gerrit to leave.

"Thank you."

Little Glitter looked at Dr. Munch, then at the medicine and copper coins in his hand, and thanked him earnestly before leaving.

"Get out, get out of here."

……

"Father...... Do you know where Mr. Roli's house is? ”

"You know, why are you asking this?"

"I want to go there and have a look, just outside the door."

"Hmmm......"

When he came out of Dr. Munch's office, his father, Hoss, was waiting for him across the road.

Listening to little Gerritt's request, Hoss didn't ask much, and he didn't refuse,

He led little Gerrit to the other side of town.

Walking through the streets where there are no people anymore,

Walked a while.

When he arrived at the area of buildings, his father, Hoss, told little Gerritt,

"This is Mr. Raleigh's house. But the entrance is in front. ”

Along the courtyard wall of this building, little Glitter finally saw the door of this building.

The door was closed right now, and even now, it was guarded.

And even if the door is not opened, through the courtyard wall, little Gerrit can see behind the wall,

The light reflected in the buildings.

light

It's probably candle flames, but at night, there are so many candle flames,

Little Gerrit and Hoss didn't quite reach the door, but looked at the wall and the building in the doorway from a distance.

"Is this Mr. Raleigh's house?"

Little Gerrit knew, but asked repeatedly.

"Yes."

Hoss nodded in response, and looked at the light that shone through the walls.

Little Gerrit didn't speak again, just stood here.

Hoss stood with him.

Just then, the door that was a little farther away opened.

There are people who are probably the servants of Mr. Raleigh,

Carrying something and throwing it out,

It was probably a little closer that little Gerrit noticed that it was a person who threw it.

"Just throw them here first, and throw them out of the city tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then you have to get up early tomorrow morning, but you can't let Mr. Raleigh see it."

"Hmmm......"

And those who threw it out were thrown away, and they were thrown out of the door, and where they could not be seen in the night, and went back again.

Little Glitter stood here, his eyes wide open, and he looked at the figures who had been thrown to the ground.

Then the eyes opened a little wider.

He saw one of the figures move his hand and then stopped,

Probably these dying figures are not completely dead.

It's like a fish off the shore, on the dirt, and it twitches unconsciously from time to time.

Little Glitter looked at it, stood in place, paused, did not step forward, but kept looking.

Finally, there was Hoss, who grabbed little Gerrit's body,

"Let's go, let's go back."

Hoss left here with little Gretel, out of town, and back into the village.

And little Gerritt was silent all the way.

In his mind, he probably understood some things, but there were more and bigger doubts.

Until I get back to the village,

Little Gerrit came back to his senses,

Because he heard another piece of news that made him a little panicked.
