I have a food city [infrastructure] Section 235
Carl's father still didn't know much about Lanceville's compulsory education, and his impression of the transcendent was still at the stage where the whole family provided for one and tried his best to grit his teeth.
After all, the information cocoon exists everywhere.
The Carls were unsure about moving to Lansvelly.
Including Carl.
Carl is just four years old this year, although he has two younger sisters and a younger brother below, but the cultivation of transcendents cannot be just based on the earlier the better, naturally according to the enrollment time of Lanceville Primary School.
If the family really wants to cultivate transcendentals, Carl is the best choice.
Although Carl was only four years old, he had heard about their distress from his parents, siblings, and grandparents.
But the reality is so tricky, and before they can think about it, the fabric store is gone.
Carl's grandfather and father were charged with an unheard of crime and had to pay a fine of 50 gold to be released, and if they didn't have the money, they were to be put to death!
Carl's grandmother was stunned when she heard the news, and her mother propped up the family.
But 50 gold coins, what a huge number!
After so many years of saving, their family only has a deposit of 32 gold coins!
Despite the recent popularity of the store, the liquidity required by the fabric store is also very exaggerated.
There are more than a dozen gold coins stacked in the warehouse, and they can't be sold for a while.
50 gold coins, and two lives.
If Carl's father and grandfather had to choose for themselves, they would definitely have chosen the gold coins.
50 gold coins is too much, they are not worth so much money!
Although it is instinctive to be afraid of death, when I think of a large family, their lives seem to be less important.
But for Carl, it wasn't just two lives, it was a husband, a father and a son.
Carl's mother followed her husband's example and started to do promotional activities, lottery and full reduction, almost all the fabric was sold at cost price, and borrowed some money from Carl's brother, only to barely get 50 gold coins.
But what they didn't know was that this was the beginning of the real nightmare.
They scraped together 50 gold coins, and others naturally felt that their family had more money than 50 gold coins, and began to keep looking for faults, and in the end, the house was gone, and the shop was gone.
Even in debt.
Grandfather felt that it was all his fault, and if it wasn't for saving him, the family wouldn't have fallen to this point.
In guilt and despair, they committed suicide twice, and almost died both times, but fortunately, the family was so poor that they moved to the bridge cave, and crowded into several rooms not like in the past, and then they found the clue.
Karl's eldest sister solemnly said to her grandfather, "Please remember that your life is worth 25 gold coins, don't throw it away so casually!" ”
The eldest sister's words were a little heavy, but the grandfather rekindled his obsession because of these words and began to try to survive.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
But before he could breathe out, in another clash the grandfather was severely injured.
This conflict took place in an almshouse, the royal family and the temple were very generous this year, distributing food to all the poor, and the Carl family could not even afford to eat black bread for a long time, with such a good thing, they naturally could not miss it.
The relief food is a paste with potato skins, a food that they rarely ate before, but in order to survive, everyone has adapted well.
But even such a little potato skin is mushy, and it will also attract greedy scramble.
Carl's grandfather stopped the gangsters who came to fight for it in order to make Carl eat the mush, and his ribs and spine were broken and inserted into his internal organs.
Carl was whining and crying, his grandmother, parents, and siblings had all gone to work, and the only ones left in the "house" were his grandfather, who had become much weaker by suicide, Carl, who had not yet found a job at the age of four, the dragon and phoenix fetus younger than him, and his little baby sister, who was not yet a month old.
Carl cried, and so did his three younger siblings, especially the youngest sister, who was held in her arms, who was so hungry that she was crying, but not much louder than the sound of mosquitoes.
She hadn't eaten all day.
Today I was supposed to take her to the relief point to get something, but as soon as she got the mush, they were beaten.
Thanks to his grandfather's delay, Carl and his twins barely finished their food, but both grandfather and sister's food were snatched away.
As for the mother, the mother has to work, she can't take a small baby with her, and the mother doesn't have milk.
When she was pregnant, her husband and father-in-law were arrested, and when she supported the store, she was pushed by the tax officer, and she almost had a difficult birth, and she lost her body and had no money to make up for it.
It was also because of this that she made up her mind to rescue her husband and father-in-law.
There are also seven children at home, and she injured her body by such a "fall", and her mother-in-law alone could not keep the store, and she and the children still could not escape the fate of death.
It's better to gamble and "redeem" your husband and father-in-law, and there is still a glimmer of life.
It's just that she thought wrong, 50 gold coins can't satisfy those people's greed at all!
My mother, who had no money to cultivate, went out to work after barely being able to get up.
The newborn baby didn't even have time to pick a name, so she was left in the care of her older siblings and injured grandfather.
But my grandfather's health was not very good, the environment in the dungeon was very poor, and he was old and sick when he was redeemed.
It was precisely because he had become a burden to his family and felt guilty that he thought of committing suicide to reduce the burden on his family.
Then he broke his bones, and although he was dragged back by Carl crying, he didn't have much to breathe.
"Grandpa, grandpa, don't leave us behind......"
Carl was very embarrassed by himself, and although he only had a place to distribute relief food was not far from here, relying on his three children, it was a difficult task like moving mountains.
The dragon and phoenix fetus is only two years old, but it is only the age at which it can walk steadily, and it is said that the three children have worked hard, but almost only Carl has contributed.
It was also thanks to this damn weather, slippery snowy roads, that he dragged and pushed the ground to bring his grandfather back.
He didn't understand the reason that the bones were broken and couldn't move, he only knew that if he let his grandfather lie there all the time, he would be trampled to death and blown to death by the cold wind.
He doesn't want to lose his grandfather, so he has to be strong!
"Good, good boy......"
Grandfather couldn't tell at all that he was dead will, he tried very hard to hold on to his last breath, and all the people in the family who could work went out to work, and he had to stay up until they returned!
It's too dangerous to have four kids here!
Children's meat is tender, and it can easily become food in other people's stomachs.
He made a sound with all his might, trying to make them not afraid, to reassure them, but more blood gushed out of his mouth.
"Grandpa, grandpa...... "The children cried even more desperately.
"Money...... It would be nice if there was money...... "Carl's previous living conditions were not bad, so he knew that there were potions and a life-saving method for the Temple of Light.
But whether it's buying potions or going to the Temple of Light, it costs money.
Money...... But they don't have any money!
Uncles, aunts, aunts and uncles have been borrowed by them, and if they borrow money again, maybe they will also be implicated, and everyone will be reduced to living in the bridge cave together-
Karl looked up and glanced around the bridge, the dirty hole was already full of people, and if it weren't for the fact that someone had died when they came, they wouldn't have even had a chance to live in the hole.
"Sydney flowers, harvest Sydney flowers, 1 copper coin for a pound of Sydney flowers."
Just as Carl was desperate, a voice came from far and near.
It seemed to be blown by the wind, and the sound was a little broken, but Carl still heard the key word - 1 copper coin!
What 1 copper coin?!
He hurriedly gave his younger brothers and sisters a look, and asked them to calm down as quickly as possible, although the age of the dragon and phoenix fetus was young, but the miserable life of just half a month had made them "grow up" quickly.
They immediately closed their mouths and covered their sister's mouth as well.
This time Carl heard more clearly.
"Sydney Blossom...... 1 Copper Coin ......"
Sherry flowers are the most common thing in winter, Carl is no stranger, but can Sydney flowers sell for money? It was the first time he had heard of it.
But the reality of the situation is that he can't think too much, whether it is or not, he always has to try it.
They lived on the very edge of the bridge, and could barely block out a little wind, so large flakes of snow and pear blossoms were blowing towards them.
Several of the children are responsible for clearing the snow and the pear blossoms at all times, otherwise they will be buried alive.
Therefore, there are small hills of Sydney flowers not far away.
Even if the pear blossom falls from the branch, it will still absorb the cold slowly, so there are no snowflakes in the bottom pile of pear blossoms, only the pear blossoms that can kill the poor!
Carl pulled out the sack, their family used to be in the burlap business, and when they were driven away, they also managed to bring out the quilt as they could.
The sack used to hold the quilt has also become a treasure, and now it is Carl's quilt.
He threw out all the dead grass in the sack, told the twins to watch the house, and quickly grabbed the sack of Sydney Blossom and hurried in the direction from which the voice came.
He was small and could not carry many things, but Snow Sky Slip helped him again, and most of the sacks of Sydney Pear Blossoms were taller than him, but he could drag them along.
"Kid, do you want to sell Sydney flowers? I was acquired. In the distance, Alice saw him and hurried over on a broomstick.
Carl seemed to be frightened, his little body trembled, and after hearing Alice's words clearly, he nodded busily: "Yes, yes, it's all here." ”
Seeing that he was covered in blood, Alice immediately stuffed him with a bottle of water, which was warm water, and added a little life potion, which could quickly pull the blood bar of an ordinary person back from a serious injury.
Carl's injuries weren't as serious, but they weren't much better.
As soon as the warm water bottle reached Carl's hand, he couldn't help but hold it and rub it against his frozen face.
It's so warm......
Alice touched his head: "Drink, don't charge money." ”
Carl couldn't help but redden, until the accident, Alice was the first stranger to speak to him in such a gentle tone.
He obediently took a sip of water, and then he felt only a warm current spread from his mouth, throat, and stomach to his limbs.
It was so comfortable that he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Alice also quickly finished weighing it: "19.64 catties, as 20 copper coins, do you want to give it to you now, or wait for your parents to come back?" ”
Carl couldn't help but widen his eyes: "This, so much money?!" Then he was so excited that he almost trembled, and said incoherently, "I, I have a lot more at home, I, I'll get it!" ”
Alice said, "I'll go with you." ”
She had a good view of the sky, so she could see the direction Carl was coming from.
The bridge cave is a dilapidated bridge cave filled with garbage, excrement and corpses.
