Chapter 388: The Gap

Karen was still a little unsure if these candies were worthless as Adonis said, and turned her head to look at Elena and Anna behind her, who nodded lightly with a doting smile on her face and said, "Adonis is right, you can pick whatever you want, it doesn't matter if you buy them all." ”

Karen cheered when she heard this, crossed her waist with one hand, pretended to be very imposing, and pointed to the goose-like guy and said, "We all want the candy here, you are not allowed to touch it, it's all ours." After speaking, he said to the group of little children: "Brothers and sisters, everyone can take whatever they want, but you have to leave a little for me and Judy." ”

The teenagers rushed directly behind the counter like wild horses, squeezed the guys aside, and took their own hands to pack the delicious-looking candy into the prepared paper packets, and filled some of each.

The older ones have a lot of strength, so they naturally have an absolute advantage, and those who are younger can't squeeze in, so they can only pout anxiously and wait in the back, constantly urging the people in front to hurry up.

Seeing these guys so embarrassed, Leigh smiled embarrassedly at Adonis, and then said loudly with a cold face, "You all stop me." Leigh was still very authoritative among this group of children, and as soon as he spoke, all the teenagers stopped what they were doing and looked at Leigh in amazement.

Li took a deep breath and said earnestly: "What did the ancestor say when he came out? Let's pay attention to etiquette, don't give, don't embarrass the family, and see what you look like now?"

Li Leng snorted, pointed to the candy that had just fallen on the ground due to scramble, and said, "Look, what a waste of this? Younger ones are preferred. "Finished. Said to the guy with a stunned face, "This big brother." Please help. ”

The man came to his senses, nodded repeatedly, ran to the counter and stood up, and carried the candy as the first child had requested.

He wasn't worried that these children wouldn't give money if they took the candy, as could be seen from the ornaments on these children, they were not bad for money, and besides, there were Anna and a large group of city lord's palace guards. How can people rely on their own little money?

Twenty teenagers divided up all the sweets in the store, and when they left, their mouths were full of mouths and eyebrows, and the guards were amused.

Leigh's storage bracelet contained several large bags of candy, and after these things were distributed among the teenagers, Adonis simply asked the guy to give them all to Leigh, and when the little boys finished eating, they were looking for him.

Naturally, Anna, the chief steward, did not need to deal with this kind of matter personally, and when her female guard caught up with her, she whispered to Anna: "Just now, there were less than ten gold coins in total. I also followed the lady's instructions to ask the store to make more and send it to the city lord's mansion, and paid a deposit of five gold coins in advance. ”

Anna nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hmm." Very good. Then he muttered to himself, "Even if it's some compensation for them." ”

Mingyue glanced at Anna and gently shook her little hand to express comfort, Anna smiled, and held Mingyue's hand tighter, at this time, she really understood the feeling of someone caring, and her heart was warm and sweet.

Next, Adonis was very arrogant in front of the team while introducing and boasting to Leigh, while shaking his arms sideways, under his leadership, a group of people entered a ready-to-wear store again, Adonis waved his hand: "Pick and choose." ”

With the experience of candy stores and jewelry stores, these children are no longer as shy as they were at the beginning, and they split up in groups to choose their favorite clothes, which frightened the guys and shopkeepers in the store, and thought that they had been robbed, until Anna came in with a group of guards, and the shopkeeper and the guys were relieved, and sent all the people to greet these little guests very warmly.

The shopkeeper and the men were busy sweating, but their hard work was also richly rewarded, and the rich master of Adonis was very satisfied with the attitude of the shopkeeper, and after Anna's personal guard settled the bill, he also generously rewarded ten gold coins, which made the shopkeeper and the man thank him again and again.

Leigh looked at the smug and satisfied expression on Adonis's face, and thought for a while, he felt that Adonis was very majestic, and he was very envious, just when Leigh was thinking about whether he would do the same in the future, Mingyue snorted coldly and scolded Adonis and said, "Little white face, do you have money to burn? What are you pretending to be? If you are really rich, take it out and distribute it to those poor people, but there are still many people in the city who can't even eat." ”

After speaking, he glared at the carried away Adonis fiercely, and then looked at the thoughtful Li, if Mingyue wasn't worried that Adonis would teach bad children, he wouldn't care how Adonis spends money, anyway, people's fathers are in a high position, and they are not bad for this money, besides, Adonis is a gentleman, and Mingyue is too lazy to care.

But it's different for them, if they go out with themselves, they all become philistines after they go back, maybe Hawke and Dodd, Dunbar will be angry like something, if any of these people can't help but go crazy, Mingyue can't bear it, and I don't want to be taught a lesson by Adonis, a little white face.

Anna, who was beside Mingyue, knew very well what Mingyue meant, and felt that these teenagers were like a piece of jade, which needed to be carefully carved so that they would not become scraps like Adonis, so she whispered a few words to one of the guards, and waited for the guards to leave before saying to Li and the others: "I'll take you to a place in a while." ”

Little Karen asked curiously and expectantly, "Where are you going, Sister Anna?"

Anna rubbed the little one's head dotingly and whispered, "You'll know when it's time." With that, he motioned for the guards to lead the way.

The group walked through the commercial street and walked south for more than half an hour to the southernmost part of the city of Ulla.

Adonis asked suspiciously, "Sister Anna, this seems to be a slum, what are you bringing us here for?"

Anna glared at Adonis and said angrily, "Let you see the suffering of the poor." Adonis was still very afraid of Anna, a beautiful woman, and seeing that Anna seemed to be a little dissatisfied with herself, she shrank her neck in fright, and hid behind her and said no more.

Soon, the group walked into the slum and watched the scenery on the side of the road change from gorgeous small buildings to low and dilapidated houses, and the teenagers felt very strange and curious, not knowing what place this was.

After a few more walks, the escort who had arrived one step earlier returned to the group, nodded to Anna, and motioned for everyone to move on.

The further we went, the more dilapidated the houses on the side of the road became, and the more shabby the pedestrians we met on the road, until the guards leading the way stopped in front of a small courtyard surrounded by dead branches, and the teenagers looked inside with curiosity, not knowing what was interesting or delicious in it.

Judy covered her little nose, frowned and said in a milky voice, "Sister Anna, the smell here is so bad." ”

Anna smiled and said, "There is a dirty ditch behind the house, and of course it smells bad. ”

Judy was puzzled and asked, "Then what are you bringing us here for?"

Anna didn't answer, she stepped forward to the gate of the courtyard and shouted inside, "Is there anyone at home?"

Anna and their arrival, the people in the house had already noticed it, but they didn't dare to take the initiative, after all, they were very inferior in their hearts, and they didn't think that these children who looked like rich and noble families were coming to find them. Hearing Anna's shout, two timid little figures came out of the dilapidated grass house, a man and a woman, two little ones about the same age as Judy and Karen, but their bodies were very thin, and they looked malnourished and did not develop normally.

The two little ones were dressed in patched and white-washed rags, and the boots they called were also tattered, and obviously a little large, apparently picking up someone else's.

The two little ones walked hand in hand to the courtyard gate, and the little boy timidly raised his little head and asked, "Distinguished guests, are you here to find us?" Mom is not at home, she has gone to work outside, and only grandpa and us are at home. ”

Anna smiled, reached out and rubbed the little boy's messy hair and said, "I'm here to find you, why didn't your grandfather come out?"

The little girl said with a crying voice, "Grandpa is sick and can't get up." ”

Anna nodded and said, "Can you let us in and see your grandfather?" The little boy and the little girl looked at each other, and finally nodded, opened the broken courtyard door and invited Anna and the others to enter.

The grass hut was too small to accommodate so many people, so Anna let go of her hand holding Mingyue and said in an unwilling tone to Adunis and Leigh, as well as a few older children, "You come in with me to have a look." After saying that, he followed the two little ones into the grass hut.

The inside of the thatched hut was extremely simple, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a small vestibule that had been converted into a room, and to the right came to the old man's room, where there was only a bed and a table supported by stone with one leg missing, and two old and tattered chairs, and only a few broken boxes stacked in the corners, and nothing else.

Adonis clutched his nose and his brow furrowed, clearly unaccustomed to such an environment. Although Leigh and the other teenagers also frowned slightly, they were not as delicate as Adonis, and looked at the room curiously.

As soon as the two little ones entered the house, they ran to the bed and said to the old man who was paralyzed and could not move, "Grandpa, grandpa, there is a guest in the house." ”

The old man looked at Anna and the others, who were gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, and couldn't understand how these big people could come to his house, first smiled at Anna, and then said to his grandson and granddaughter with disgust: "How did I teach you, what should you do when you come to visit?"

The little boy and the little girl tilted their heads and thought for a while, and said in unison, "Pour water for the guests and beckon them to sit down." The old man nodded in satisfaction. (To be continued......)
