Chapter 129
Chapter 129
This town that the local residents think is weird is actually not big. If you look at it from a height, there is only one main street, with seven branches extending outwards. The center of the town is a vaulted castle and the stone house of the lord of the Minzel continent. In comparison, this castle is magnificent and exquisite.
The city wall surrounding this town is very low, probably because it has not fought for a long time, so the city wall has lost its original function long ago, and no one will stop the residents of the town from entering and leaving.
But Ye Zhou observed all morning, and only saw the local residents of the town coming in and out.
"It's really a bit wrong." Cao'er said while having lunch, "If there is such a town in our country, people from all over the world will go in, even if it's not a market day, they will occasionally go to the grain store or cloth store. "
Cao'er took a bite of the sandwich, took another sip of milk, and said after swallowing, "There must be something weird."
After speaking, she went to get another sandwich.
In fact, she doesn't like sandwiches, but this dislike is compared with Roujiamo.
Roujiamo is full of finely minced meat. Although it is thinner and less fat, but because of the sesame oil, the meat is not firewood at all, and stuffed with some vegetables, it will leave a good taste after eating. Cao'er can eat five .
But it’s better to eat sandwiches outside, the taste is not much worse when it’s cold, but the meat won’t taste as good when it’s cold.
Ye Zhou's appetite improved as the grass tasted delicious, but he still only ate one and put it down.
"Immortal, let me go in and have a look first." Cao'er asked Ying to come out with her, consciously wanting to play a role.
Ye Zhou didn't stop him either, he brought Cao'er out so that Cao'er could serve as an outpost.
Just as Cao'er said, she is not tall, and she is a girl, no matter who sees her, she will not be too wary.
Letting Zou Ming go and letting Cao'er go must be two different results.
But Ye Zhou still said: "You remember what you said before, Zou Ming and I will always watch you, but you are the one who can really protect you, so be careful."
Cao'er nodded, she brought a pistol and an extra extended magazine, and she had enough bullets.
There was also a dagger pinned to his calf.
Although she can't gain the upper hand in a duel with Wu Yan, it is still very easy to deal with people who have not learned fighting.
When Ye Zhou didn't learn it before, he thought that with absolute power, any skill was just a trick. After learning it, he realized that most of the time people didn't have absolute power.
Absolute strength is not between a man and a woman, but in terms of weight. A lady of two hundred catties can easily beat a young man of one hundred catties.
It is impossible for a woman weighing eight or ninety pounds to beat a man weighing more than 100 pounds.
But women who weigh 150 to [-] catties, as long as they train for a long time, it is not difficult to beat men who have not trained before, and men who weigh less than [-] catties.
Cao'er's current weight is around 120 catties. Because of long-term training, Cao'er's body fat is much lower than the average body fat of women.
When you really fight with someone, you can hit the opponent's temple or chin with just one punch, and you can basically get away with one blow.
But it was fighting alone, if others rushed up, let alone Cao'er, Zou Ming would not be able to fight such a chaotic battle in the past.
The function of carrying a gun is also to scare the other party, it is a deterrent, and it buys Cao'er time to escape.
Otherwise, once it's time to reload, it's time to kill.
So when Cao'er left, Ye Zhou couldn't help but reminded again: "Don't think that you are safe if you have a gun. What if they don't fight you? Do it while you are sleeping and resting. Even if you have a gun, it's useless." .”
Cao'er immediately said, "I will definitely not eat their food, nor drink their water, nor will I spend the night in this city."
Ye Zhou was still worried, and was about to go in with Cao'er when Zou Ming grabbed his shoulder.
"Let her go." Zou Ming whispered in Ye Zhou's ear, "She is a person who escaped, not a child."
Ye Zhou took a deep breath, and finally nodded to Cao'er: "Go."
Cao'er agreed, and she rushed to the town with two silver coins.
"It was you who said to train them." Zou Ming handed Ye Zhou a bottle of water.
Ye Zhou could understand the meaning of Zou Ming's words.
It was he himself who wanted to let the employees grow up, but when it came time to put them through danger, he couldn't help worrying.
Ye Zhou smiled wryly: "I know it in my heart, but the truth is that truth, but..."
But after getting along for a long time, and having feelings, he still couldn't help worrying when he saw the other party go into danger for the supermarket.
"You think you have a responsibility to them." Zou Ming said suddenly, "You think you let them work in the supermarket, and you are the boss, so you have a responsibility to your employees."
Ye Zhou nodded: "If they are taking risks for themselves, I might also pay attention, but I won't be so nervous."
Zou Ming looked at Ye Zhou's profile.
Ye Zhou has always been like this. Ye Zhou is a very protective person. He can't tell it normally, but he can tell it when something happens.
He would rather take the risk himself than let someone else do it.
"As you said, if you don't give them a chance, how will they grow?" Zou Ming said, "Do you want to control them for the rest of their lives?"
"I know, I know." Ye Zhou didn't want to continue this topic, "I understand the truth."
Zou Ming didn't continue talking.
Zou Ming loves Ye Zhou's personality. If Ye Zhou didn't have such a personality, he wouldn't have saved him, raised him, let alone taught him.
But he also hated Ye Zhou's character, because there were always people like him at that time who needed Ye Zhou's care and help.
He lowered his head, his eyes drooped, and there seemed to be no emotion in the dark pupils, and it seemed that a storm was brewing.
·
It was Cao'er's first time doing things by herself, she was a little nervous, but more excited.
She knew that she was not smart, nor as capable as Chen Shu and the others. What she could do, others could also do.
The mother always told her that their current good life was given by the gods, but the gods are willing to give it to them, and they can't always accept it with a shy face. Only when you have the ability, others will look at you highly, like Sister Chen and Sister Sarah, they don't have to. They don't need to know how to clean and cook, as long as they know what others can't, then they can follow their own wishes throughout their lives.
Cao'er didn't understand at first, but after being nagged by her mother's ear for a long time, she also understood some meaning.
She will definitely not go back to Daliang Dynasty, what will she do when she goes back?Marry a man who cooks and cooks. How lucky is it? How many sons will you have?And then make a fuss about marrying his son a wife?You can see your head at a glance for a lifetime.
Listen to men when you are young, and listen to your son when you are old.
Cao'er felt her scalp go numb just thinking about it.
Mother asked her to make progress, and the immortal was also willing to give her a chance. Before, she had no chance to make progress!What can a girl doll do to improve?Is it a few more clothes to wash, or a few more acres of land to cultivate?Girls from rich families can still learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but even if they learn, it's just a way to marry a good family in the future.
When Cao'er walked to the gate of the city, she checked the translator pinned to her chest again.
This time she wore two translators, one on her chest as a "brooch" and the other as an earring.
One is missing and there is another, and there is still one in the bag.
She just looked up at the city wall, and someone was already walking by. The person who walked over was an old woman. She was wearing a long skirt, which was different from the nearby farmers. There was something on his head, and it smelled, but his hair was black and shiny, and looked very respectable.
Her face was round and wrinkled but not mean, but kind because of the wrinkles.
Cao'er looked at the old woman, and even saw the shadow of her mother in her.
No, her mother is not so kind, her mother is terribly fierce.
"Miss." The old woman looked at Cao'er with a smile, "Are you here to join relatives or pass through our town?"
Cao'er immediately took out the speech she had prepared, she shrank her neck slightly, put on a cowardly look, and said cautiously: "I'm here to see if I can find a job here."
The old woman looked at her and found that although the young girl was a little short, she didn't look like she came from a poor family. Her skin was also rough, but her face was fleshy and her body was strong enough to support her clothes.
"Where are your parents? Are they willing to let you find a job alone?" The old woman approached Cao'er, grabbed Cao'er's wrist enthusiastically, and smiled generously, "Come on, let's go in first, it's almost time for dinner Now, go to my house and have a meal."
Cao'er hurriedly said politely: "No, no, I, I'll find a hotel..."
The old woman immediately said: "You come from outside, you don't know our town well, and you don't know where to find a job. I like you when I see you. Come with me, and I will help you find a job."
"Then, who are there in your family?" Cao'er whispered, "I'm still unmarried, so I can't stay with men."
The smile on the old woman's face became wider. Now in slightly larger towns, women do a lot of work. Although the husband still holds the money, there is absolutely no such thing as not being able to eat with other men.
Only small and isolated villages still have such rules.
A girl from a closed village has no relatives in the town, so even if her parents and brothers come to find someone, it's okay.
What's more, it would be better if her parents and brothers came.
The old woman brought Cao'er into the town. She grabbed Cao'er's wrist and said that she had to support someone to walk steadily when she was old. Drag to yourself.
After entering the city, Cao'er felt that there were more things that were wrong.
Although she is an outsider and not a local, people here will look at her a few times, but normally they will never be so enthusiastic.
As they walked in, people greeted them along the way, and many people wanted to take Cao'er to their homes.
Cao'er has never been such a "fragrant bun" in her life.
But there is a saying that she knows well, if there is nothing to be courteous about, it is either rape or robbery.
If she can't do them any good, even if there are kind-hearted people who want to help her, they won't be so much.
Cao'er quietly looked at the old woman who was pulling her.
This old woman should not have suffered much, or hadn't experienced any hardship in the past two years. She had a smile on her face, and her eyes were shining. Cao'er was very familiar with this look.
Who didn't she see when she fled?
In order to survive, people can think of any despicable methods.
Selling one's body as a slave is already decent, as long as someone is willing to buy it, even if they buy it in a lowly place, they can have a meal.
Better to die than to live, everyone wants to live.
There are many ways to be dishonorable, such as Yizi and Shishi, who can be smashed to death just for a wild vegetable.
She has seen hell on earth, she has seen countless people who have a good face but are more vicious than evil spirits, but those people want to live, what about the old woman in front of her?
What is this old woman for?
Besides, she is a poor girl from a foreign country, what will the other party think of her?
Cao'er was vigilant in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
All the way the old woman was telling her how wonderful the town was.
"There are no beggars here." The old woman said with a smile, "No one will defecate on the street. As long as you enter here, you can find a good job and you don't have to worry about anything."
The old woman also let her pass by, and greeted passers-by with a smile: "The people here are also good people, very enthusiastic, and willing to help others."
But when Cao'er saw the smiles on those people's faces, she felt her scalp go numb.
It's fine if only one person smiles like this, but everyone smiles like this, as if the smiles on their faces are carved out of the same mold, everyone is the same, the neatness makes people feel weird.
Soon they arrived at the old woman's house.
The old lady was indeed very wealthy, most people lived in bungalows, but she lived in a small two-story building with a small yard surrounded by a fence, where flowers and plants were planted, and even a small vegetable plot.
Cao'er followed the old woman into her house.
After entering the house, Cao'er's heart was raised even higher, because she was not the only one brought here by the old woman.
The living room was almost full of people. These people were not locals at first glance, because they were dressed in rags and their hair was greasy. They looked up at them in panic.
These people are male, female, and even have children, and they are of different races.
It was only then that Cao'er realized that the old woman did not seem to be human, she was only about 1.4 meters.
It was only because the people in Daliang Dynasty couldn't keep up with nutrition and there were many short people, so she didn't think about the fact that the old woman was not a human race.
This old woman is supposed to be a dwarf?
Sure enough, most of the poor people in this house were dwarves.
The dwarves were all excited when they saw the old woman come back, and the children came over to beg for something to eat.
The old woman smiled and said to them, "Sit down first, and I'll prepare something for you."
She said to Cao'er again: "They are all just like you, they come to the town to find a job, you can sit with them."
Cao'er nodded, she sat on the chair next to her, and watched a dwarf child walk up to her, pick up a kettle and pour water into her mouth, she turned to look at the other dwarves, and found that they were all looking at the kitchen eagerly, so Leaning forward, he whispered to the dwarf, "Children, are you her relatives?"
As she said that, Cao'er took out a candy from her pocket.
Although the dwarf didn't know what it was, the candy paper was shiny, and his eyes were also bright. He imitated Cao'er and whispered, "No, Mom and Dad said they would come here to work. We lived with her until we got a job."
The dwarf was a little happy: "Mom and Dad said she is a good person!"
Cao'er nodded slightly.
She also gave the candy to the dwarf, but she gave it after peeling off the candy wrapper, and stuffed it directly into the dwarf's mouth.
As soon as she stuffed it in, she said, "I don't have much candy. If you tell others, you won't have any."
The dwarf immediately covered his mouth and shook his head, expressing that he would not say anything.
Although she had only come in for a short while, Cao'er had already made up her mind.
These people are poor, and the only thing that can be pictured is their bodies.
This old woman... should be a tooth.
Cao'er pursed her lips, she was going out to report to the immortals.
·
Ye Zhou held the binoculars. He watched Cao'er and an old woman enter a two-story building, but he didn't see Cao'er come out.
"People in this town are quite enthusiastic." Ye Zhou was talking to Zou Ming when a figure suddenly came into his eyes when the binoculars moved.
Zou Ming noticed that Ye Zhou's mood was wrong: "What's wrong?"
Ye Zhou put down the binoculars and looked at the alley behind the castle in a daze.
The ragged, disheveled man who can only crawl on the ground.
Why does it make him feel, kind of like... Sarah?
