Chapter 100: Brothers and Sisters in the Slums

Joyce wanted to reply that I wasn't a master, but she couldn't get the words out of her mouth.

Now he is a noble nobleman, even in his previous life, he lived in a good era, and he was also considered rich, although he had seen the poorest people at the bottom from various sources...... How can that be compared to what you have seen with your own eyes?

Although he had expected it in his heart, all this in front of him still made him silent, and the sympathy and pity that arose from it could only show that he was still a person.

"Are you working?" Joyce replied, trying to make her tone as kind as possible.

Sally gave a soft "um" and explained:

"I have a broken leg and can't do any other work than simple work."

Joyce whispered, "I know what you're going through, so I'm going to offer some help, don't you want the children who have had the same experience as you to be free?" ”

"Really?" There was a gleam in Sally's eyes, and what this light meant, Joyce didn't understand, or dared not understand.

Looking at her brother Barron, who nodded in confirmation, Sally smiled, her eyebrows curled into a crescent moon.

"Thank you, thank you, sir......"

Joyce interrupted the little girl's frequent thanks, turned to look around, and found that everyone's eyes were focused on his side, and when he glanced over, they all avoided in fear, only two or three years old, and the ignorant toddler dared to continue to look at him, his eyes were full of curiosity.

Sighing, he said, "Let's go, let's find another place to talk about it." ”

Former adventurer Pablo is happy that he has found a like-minded helper, and then he says:

"There's a small shop around here, just where you can grab a bite to eat and chat while eating......"

After receiving Joyce's affirmative gesture, he said to Barron, "Go, carry your sister on your back." ”

"Thank you, sir."

Sally added, though Joyce had turned away from the building.

…………

"This is a colony."

Without saying a word, Mr. Hunter, who had watched the whole process, reminded him aloud.

"I know."

Joyce replied, looking up at the drifting white clouds, and said:

"But the sun is still warm, and the sky is still blue."

…………

The small shop that the former adventurer Pablo refers to is a café, of course, the environment is not good, it is far from the café on Enmat Street, and it cannot be compared with the coffee made by the maid lady.

Joyce just took a sip and placed the coffee cup on the table.

The shop sells everything, and Joyce ordered white bread, bolognese, and soup, and saw the siblings Barron and Sally savoring the food...... In their eyes, such a hearty food may not have a chance next time after eating it once, so they eat it very seriously.

Joyce turned her gaze out the window to look at the crowd like the walking dead, waiting for the two children to finish eating, and then asked:

"Have you eaten enough?"

"I'm full, thank you, sir."

Barron gave the last bite of broth to Sally and said quickly, even wanting to stand up and bow, but was stopped by Joyce.

He continued: "Then let's talk about the gangs. ”

Sally burped and began to narrate:

"That day I went to help Aunt Mora do my laundry, and on the way home I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up I was caught in a dimly lit basement, and a particularly fierce man broke my leg with a stick and taught me how to beg......"

"Then I was thrown into a bigger basement where there were a lot of kids my age, some of them were crippled, some of them were blind and deaf, and they were all grabbed there."

"We children are dragged to different places every day to beg, and we have to pay how much money a day, otherwise we won't have anything to eat...... Even if you get money, you only have a little bit of food, and if you are caught hiding money, you will be beaten to death, and I have seen it twice, both in front of me......"

Sally hadn't read a book, and she didn't speak in a coherent way, always saying things in one sentence, and the above was something Joyce had distilled herself.

Although the little girl's words were simple, they unexpectedly showed pity for the children in the same situation...... It is hard to imagine that such a miserable and pitiful girl could show sympathy for the weaker.

Maybe it was because of her youth, maybe it was because of her brother, and it was Barron who picked Sally back and kept her from being dead on the streets, which made her grateful...... And kindness is contagious.

"How many people are there in that gang?" Joyce asked.

Sally thought for a moment, and at the same time counted with her fingers:

"One, two, three......"

Realizing that he had asked the wrong question, Joyce re-asked:

"Do you know where you're locked up every day?"

Without waiting for Sally to answer, the former adventurer Pablo answered, "I know this question better. ”

"I've followed the process of gang members who take all the kids after 9 p.m., take them to a basement three blocks away, and leave them in the care of people...... Every morning at 6 a.m., the children are arranged to go to different places to continue begging. ”

Skilled, brutal, it's like a whole industrial chain...... Joyce commented in his heart, and then said:

"In other words, it is only in the middle of the night that they can be caught and all the children can be rescued by the way."

"Master, are you going to Casey?" Sally asked, looking at Joyce as she could with her head raised.

Cassie is presumably a friend she made after being kidnapped...... Joyce nodded, "Yes, don't you want those kids to be as free as you?" ”

"Yes." Sally said.

Joyce smiled and nodded, then said to the former adventurer:

"Meet here at eight o'clock in the evening, and you will lead the way."

Surprised, Pablo asked, "Do you want to do it today?" And it's just the two of us...... Three! ”

"I understand your feelings, because I was the same as you when I first heard this story, but it is precisely because of this that we should be cautious, it is better to find a few more helpers, otherwise it is no different from sending them to death, and those children may never regain their freedom."

"I'll look for it, you just lead the way." Joyce said flatly, perhaps it was his strong self-confidence that kept the former adventurer from saying more.

"You send the two of them back, I'll go first, see you in the evening."

With that, Joyce checked out and left.

…………

Returning to the dilapidated and dangerous building, sitting on the familiar bed, Sally reflected on what had just happened, and asked softly:

"Brother, who are those masters?"

Barron was silent for a few moments before he replied:

"They're good people, they're heroes."

"My brother is also a hero." Sally said.
