The rain made me hate this place even more.

When I woke up, the fire in the fireplace had been extinguished, and the house was back to its original damp state. I hate that feeling.

The ticking sound from outside the house told me that the rain seemed to be unable to stop for a while, I don't know if you have the ability, listen to the sound of the rain dripping on the ground outside the window to tell if the rain will stop in a short time. I'm a little hungry again, and maybe only a good thing can make me forget the bad feeling of hunger and dampness.

Looking at the water that had accumulated in the yard, I was worried about whether my shoes would leak.

Yes...... Recently, I have become more and more cranky.

I left the house, and the moment I climbed the wall I thought I wasn't going to be back to this place tonight. Maybe after a few blocks I forgot where the house was.

The water in the alley really wet my shoes! The water in my shoes made me feel bad at home. You're sure to be able to get in my mood right away.

I remember they started a company on the docks, but I don't have any memory of where it was. Do you know how long the market in Gilneth is? I felt like I had been walking for two hours. It's a strange city, the water around it can't be called a moat, it's not deep or shallow, especially the North Gate, which can't be called a pier at all, and I'm sure it's not there. There were no merchants in Simona, there were king's gardens and some embassies and consulates, which I had heard of but I had never visited. I went straight to the South Gate, which stretched from both sides of the South Gate to the East Gate, and was full of markets, especially near the South Gate Wharf, of course, there were not many people there now.

I'm worried when there are more people, and I'm even more worried when there are fewer people, and it doesn't look like the last time I came. Originally, I thought that I might be able to find a trading business according to what they told me, but the surrounding merchants told me that this street was full of trade. When I said it was overseas trade, they all pouted, because the merchants who did overseas trade were now almost extinct. Now Gilneth still has fart overseas trade.

When I heard what they said, I began to feel a little sorry for them. It would have taken two days to save some money, and eating a piece of freshly baked brown bread was the only thing I was slightly relieved about all morning.

I know that I can inquire all the way, keep knocking on the door and asking, or say the old saying is good, and ask the golden pony diligently. Before dusk in the afternoon, there was no such thing as twilight, and it had rained for a day, and just as it was getting dark, I finally asked Ralph about Ralph's whereabouts from a man who had been a trader.

Ralph's company has gone out of business, and the family has now moved to Twilight. Although he repeatedly stressed that the information was not necessarily accurate, it had given me new hope. I'm a real person, and in order to determine if his information is accurate, I asked them what other business partners were and where they were located. But the question shut him up, and the way he looked at me finally changed from flat to wary.

I wanted to explain to him, but he said, "If you don't leave, I'll report to the police." ”

I had no choice but to leave.

As I walked, I pondered what had just happened, but I could have been more tactful, or I would have asked Ralph where he traded on a daily basis, who was the person he traded with the most, and where he lived, so that I would ask more information! Now it's good to pour, pull down! If you entangle people again, you will have to report to the official. But I didn't think this guy was a treacherous person, or I would have believed him?

Originally, the rain stopped, but it started ticking again after dark. Oops, I'm annoyed by this!

There are many empty houses in this part of the business district, and you can see by the sparse candlelight on a street that since the trade has stopped, all those who have made a living from it will be beaten back to their original shape. Without the rest of the survival skills, you can only starve to death. So it should be that there are many people fleeing here.

I was about to choose a house to go in for the night, when I saw a man hurrying across the street and disappearing into the alley. This kind of person eats by hand! Stealing is also a craft.

I went out early the next morning, and when I looked at the guards at the south gate, I was still worried about whether the bartender said that I would have difficulty going out, but after observing for a while, I found that I did not seem to have checked the passers-by, so I dared to go forward. Coincidentally, when I walked forward, there was no one left or right.

The guards looked at me. It's a bad feeling to be stared at, and it's uncomfortable to not be stared at like that, even if I don't have any problems.

Calm! Be sure to calm down! I will be able to walk through it steadily!

I tried to make my face look natural while comforting myself and adjusting my mindset, but I really couldn't think of what expression I should use right now. You must not let yourself look dragged, you must not bow your head, and your chest must not bend down, but you must not be too stiff. I walked past them under the watchful eyes of more than twenty guards, and if you're a good kid at school, you probably don't know what it's like to be stared at by a bunch of upperclassmen who don't look like nice kids.

At this time, what I am most afraid of is that there is a cheap mouth in it and say, hey! You stop!

It's really the favor of the heavens, the gods bless! I walked past them, and they didn't greet me.

Although I don't dare to think about it, I have already prepared two plans for what to do if I am investigated. I walked slowly away, and when I walked about fifty or sixty meters away, I felt a feeling of weakness in my back. It scares the hell out of me!

When I left the city, I was in a much better mood instantly, although the sky was still cloudy but not so annoying anymore, and even the smell of wild flowers and weeds on the side of the road smelled much better. Even if I didn't know where that Twilight Town was, it didn't affect my pleasure at this time.

I don't know if it's because there are fewer people walking or if it's like this before, the weeds on both sides of the road to the south are a little too overgrown, and even cover the road. After walking all morning, there were no more than ten pedestrians, and this was still the main road out of the royal city! I really can't imagine what the countryside would become.

I was thinking about this question for a while, but I soon got the answer.

In a small village I was passing by, I thought it would be lifeless, but when I saw them, I realized that I was half right. Although it was not lifeless, the faces and expressions of the villagers were not much to say to the king. Although they did not curse the king on their faces, as long as they were not fools, they knew that their hearts were full of complaints, especially the increase in taxes.

The king had his own land, and there were people who grew food for the king, but the king had to ask the surrounding lords for money, and when the lords were no longer as rich as before, they had to collect more taxes from the peasants in his fiefdoms. For the common people, the phrase "the strong swing the knife to the stronger, and the weak swing the knife to the weaker" is true at some point.

Although they will show resentment, most of their faces show numbness, especially on the faces of some men.

I spent the night in the village and gave all the money to the family who stayed there. The man and his family of six knelt down to thank me for my generosity, but I didn't give them much, and I couldn't understand why they were so excited, couldn't they even make this money!

I left with questions and asked the family for three pieces of hard bread.

When I arrived at the next village, I finally got the answer, of course, I just wanted to spend the night at the family's house, and they still brought me food and soup despite my repeated pushbacks. I was too embarrassed to take out the three pieces of hard bread in my arms.

During the feast I ate a potato and a piece of bread, although I was not full, but I did not want to reach out for the second piece, and drank a bowl of soup made of wild vegetables, which smelled fishy, but the thin fish flesh and small fish bones told me that this was the most valuable thing in this soup.

They told me about their lives, and as people who worked in the fields, they were lucky to be alive in the world.

I don't understand why they are like this, they told me that they can get very little money for the things they grow in the field, they have to pay taxes, although children under the age of 16 don't have to pay taxes, and they can reduce the taxes for each additional child, but since the two years of lockdown, the rule that a child is exempt from a cent of tax has been abolished, and it is still heavy. It's good that they can earn five silver coins a year when they're busy!

Five silver coins!

It reminded me of why the whole family knelt down and thanked me for the two silver coins I had given.

I snuck into my pockets, and there really wasn't anything of value left. After sleeping through the night, I decided to give the family something back. But the next day, I hunted for a day and found only a rabbit that was half a size. I wouldn't be able to eat enough if I were to eat it myself, but this bit of meat would make his two children happy for a whole day or two or three days.

But I had to eat, too, so I endured to nibble on a piece of bread and hung the rabbit on a tree. I'll send it over tomorrow with something.

I didn't feel scared when I heard the owl calling in the woods, and the rumbling in my stomach made me want to shoot it down and eat it. I've never really eaten an owl, and I don't know if the owl tastes good. I smacked my mouth as I leaned against the tree to squint. The flame is a good thing, and this little calorie makes me feel less cold when I have no food in my stomach.

It's actually hard to sleep when you're hungry, especially when you're not hungry!

I tried to close my eyes so that I could get through the night, but a "click" from the bushes not far away made me open my eyes immediately.

The things in the bushes behind the side are probably not small.
