Chapter 223: Master, Thank You (Please Follow-up)
Lin Ye walked the streets of the civilian area, he had not been in Mondstadt for a long time, but he was familiar with the streets in all directions.
Lin Ye refers to Parsifal's era as Old Mondstadt. The architectural plans of Old Mondstadt are slightly different from later generations, mainly low-rise houses living in the civilian areas, and some of the iconic large buildings have not changed.
Except for the Aeolian Statue.
It has been replaced by a tower, a tower that the Lawrence family has re-erected in the city of Mondstadt and in the hearts of the people in order to symbolize their dominance.
Lin Ye's name is Parsifal, and he is one of the many beings of Old Mondstadt, but Lin Ye's will is that of an outsider, and he silently observes this dark world.
I don't know if it was because of the gloomy weather, Lin Ye only felt the oppressive and dreary atmosphere, and the potholed streets accumulated dirty water, reflecting the turbidity of the sky.
Most of the people of Mondstadt bowed their heads and looked depressed, and their brows could not hide their sorrow in the conversation, and the women did not take their children into the streets, fearing that they would bump into the nobles who came to the plebeian from time to time to have fun.
Yesterday Parsifal had a hangover, and only woke up this afternoon, and Lin Ye became him, inheriting his physical fitness, strong and hungry on an empty stomach, with a burning sensation from inferior wine.
Lin Ye would go to a nobleman at night to take their "ill-gotten gains", and according to Parsifal's memory, the operation went as smoothly as usual.
Lin Ye has some doubts about the action of playing Parsifal according to the system, he is not a robot, every word, every demeanor and every action can be perfectly reproduced, so Lin Ye must explore and explore the greatest space for free play.
For example, the original Parsifal went to sell sunset fruits to satisfy his hunger, and Lin Ye went to buy apples?
The owner of the apple stall is a young man, he is different from other stall owners, his face is haggard, he seems to be worried about something, for Lin Ye to buy apples and bargain, a mouthful, this makes Lin Ye can't play, he is ready for a war of words.
After all, according to Parsifal's memory, if you don't bargain for buying something, then you will lose eighty percent, because you have to pay taxes to the old men, so that the merchants are generally stingy and cunning, and the scales used are also tricky.
At first, the noble son Parsifal was really pitted, and it wasn't until he got acquainted with the lower class that he understood the trickiness of it.
After buying the apple, Lin Ye wiped it with his sleeve, and took a bite of the skin, the taste was average, and he couldn't stand Lin Ye's hunger, and the burning sensation in his abdomen was slightly relieved.
Lin Ye finished eating in two bites, trying to find a trash can to throw away the pit, and when he looked around, he found a little boy staring at him with longing eyes.
The little boy's face was dark, his bony body was tattered and wide, he was huddled in an alley, no shoes to wear, the toes of one of his exposed feet curled up, shivering in the cloudy cold wind, and there was nothing clean in his whole body, oh, yes, the pure longing that came out of those blue eyes.
"......" Lin Ye was silent.
This is a land blessed by the gods, free from natural disasters, and harvests are basically harvested every season, but in old Mondstadt, there are still mass starvations.
If there is no natural disaster, it is a man-made disaster.
The miscellaneous taxes deducted by the nobles and lords, such as: life tax, you are alive to receive the gifts of the nobles, hurry up and pay Mora to repay the favor!
There is also a window tax, and if you want to install windows and feel the wind in your room, you have to pay a mora, or you have to pay it every month.
In addition to these two, there are also such things as the ear tax, the shadow tax, the fart tax, etc., in short, all kinds of strange and bizarre, but there are a lot of taxes! Basically, at the end of the year, all the Mora earned by labor is used to pay taxes.
It's no wonder that all of them are profiteers, and they are really forced to be helpless.
Mondstadt was not short of food, and despite being attacked by the demon dragon Ursa, it was not a problem to produce enough food to feed the city's inhabitants, provided that the nobles were willing to share the food from the manor and farm.
The answer was whimsical, and this led to the emergence of many hungry people, including many children who could not feed themselves and were thrown out, who became beggars.
Lin Ye saw this scene for the first time, and was deeply shocked, and the memories of Parsifal stored in his mind blended with Lin Ye's memories, and Lin Ye truly experienced the pain that Parsifal witnessed.
Lin Ye thought about it, bought two apples from the apple stall owner, one in each hand, and walked in front of the little boy, the other party shrank his body, his legs and feet fluttered, and he retreated.
"Old, sir." The little boy looked up at the apple in Lin Ye's hand, which was not very good, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and then lowered his head in fear and said timidly.
The little boy was not very old, about eleven or twelve years old, and because he seldom spoke, his words stumbled, and he tried to learn to flatter, but he did not learn well, and his voice was very weak and indecent.
Lin Ye was one of the few "rich people" who walked in front of him with food, and no matter how loud the little boy begged in the past, almost no one would come to give alms, and over time, the little boy became numb and stopped making a sound.
"Here you go." Lin Ye squatted down and handed it to the little boy neatly.
When the little boy heard this, he quickly raised his head, and his dark face showed a shocking and incredible expression, and then he stretched out his hand, which was even thinner than Protet, and carefully picked up the apple, for fear that his hand would dirty the big white hand of the forest.
After the little boy got an apple, he subconsciously hid it in his arms, he wanted to give it to his sister, but he showed a blank expression again.
Little master, there is more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue reading, the back is more exciting!
Oh, his sister just starved to death yesterday.
The little boy did not shed a single tear, and he lay down beside his sister, who was so sick that she could not even open her mouth.
By the time the little boy came to his senses, his sister was out of breath.
In the past, it was his sister who carried the little boy on his back to the street to beg, but now he left his sister there and climbed into the street by himself, thirsting for food and feeding his sister, which is paranoia, and he thinks that when his sister eats food, she will come back to life.
But in the end, the little boy deceived himself, and his tears finally flowed down his eyes, more than the rain he had drunk yesterday.
Lin Ye didn't know what happened to the little boy, he squatted down and looked at the little boy with an expressionless face, Parsifal's appearance followed his character, there was a kind of bohemian handsomeness, but when he didn't have the slightest expression on his face, he was cold and handsome, and he was full of oppression.
Lin Ye waited patiently for the little boy to finish crying, and he said in a commanding tone.
"Finish it."
The little boy was stunned for a moment, he didn't know that in the alley behind him, where his sister's body was left, there were several hungry peers, foaming at the mouth, staring at the little boy's back, waiting for Lin Ye to leave, and then rushed over and nibbled like mad dogs.
Perhaps it was Lin Ye's commanding tone that frightened the little boy, and he trembled and bit down the apple mixed with tears, followed by gobbling it up, not even throwing away the apple core.
After Lin Ye himself ate the remaining apple core, he handed the other apple to the little boy.
Lin Ye continued to order him to finish eating.
It was only when the two apples were in the little boy's stomach that Lin Ye got up to leave.
At this moment, he heard a voice of gratitude and a dazed voice.
"Thank you, sir."
Lin Ye didn't answer, and left on his own.
At this moment, Lin Ye hated Parsifal for spending all the Mora, but Parsifal distributed all the Mora he had stolen to the poor, Mondstadt was so big, there were so many poor people, he couldn't finish it.
Parsifal is a noble young master, who used to drink good wine, but now it is hot and bad wine.
There is no Mora left in the woods.
"It's going to be a big one!" Lin Zhi thought to himself.
Lin Ye didn't have the grand ambition to save the people, maybe when everyone in Liyue Harbor praised the righteous partners, or when he took on the wish of the people of Findnir when he was in the Dragonspine Snow Mountain, but now, he just wanted to help the people he met.
As for the distant ones, Lin Ye has no way.
It's not that he didn't see the beggar behind the little boy, but he didn't have Mora, could it be that he became a suffering person, bullying another suffering person?
Lin Ye saw that the group of children would not starve to death today, and he saw that the little boy would starve to death tonight if he did not eat.
Lin Ye never thought that the suffering should kill each other, and to fight for that little bit might be just the scraps of a bubble for the nobles.
Subconsciously clenched the saber wrapped in coarse cloth, and Lin Ye's purpose was very clear.
His sword should be pointed at the perpetrator!
