I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 139 One thought of a saint, one thought of a devil

Luden left the Senate as a victor.

Judge Gured did not leave immediately.

The great elder stood up, stared at the face that was bigger than the plate, and asked coldly,
"Judge Gured, the Senate needs to know why you agreed."

The Senate is a decoration, which is well known in God's country.

The Senate generally approves the approval of the seven justices.

What's more, the pregnant woman card that Luden played this time was spending money to give pointers on the moral high ground.

Luden was willing to bear all the expenses of the citizens born during this period, and even had to deposit a huge sum of money in the Palace of Greed for this.

Everyone has spent money, what else can I say? !

It's just that, in the eyes of the Senate, isn't this a public sale of the identity of the citizens of the Kingdom of God?
Wait, the citizens of Shenbang themselves can be bought with money?

Shenbang big stage, come if you have money.

cough cough.

In short, they looked down on Luden, an upstart. Coupled with Luden's grievances when he was the Hanged Man, the Senate would not let go of the opportunity to take revenge on Luden.

If they are capable.

Judge Gured had thought of this a long time ago. He twisted a piece of paper with his fingers and read the content on it.

"According to the investigation by the Inquisition Institute, there are 8 pregnant women from 40 weeks to 453 weeks near Shenbang."

Pregnant women under 8 weeks can see nothing at all when they look at their stomachs, and they can walk past the guards with a big swagger.

According to Dr. Shenbang's research, it takes about forty weeks from pregnancy to delivery.

The rules of Shenbang these years are that pregnant women are not allowed to enter the city.

Therefore, after the bell rang, the vast majority of pregnant women embarked on the journey back to their hometown in despair.

According to their survival wisdom, staying outside the Godland is no different from waiting to die.

Hiding in the cave in my hometown, and preparing enough food and clean water, there is a possibility of survival.

Pregnant women who really stay near Shenbang are actually a minority!

Now there are only 2 days left before closing the city gate!

It's time to leave, leave early, and it's not the first day's notice.

Even if the other pregnant women received the news and wanted to return to Shenbang, it would be too late.

"The average time for the orcs to attack is 49 days. Even if it is calculated as 2 months, it is 8 weeks."

Judge Gured raised eight fingers and said disdainfully,
"Among the 453 pregnant women, only 112 will give birth during this period, understand?"

Orcs come and go.

How big a pregnant woman's belly is is an objective law.

Three months pregnant, even if she is pregnant with a saint, it is impossible to give birth!
Who is Luden?

Judge Gured knows it all too well!

A guy who is as greedy to the bone as Justice Gruede, he wants to earn any miso.

Will he trade at a loss?
Lu Deng saved the pregnant woman for nothing more than building momentum, canvassing votes, and running for the tribune.

112 citizens of the Kingdom of God, with an expenditure of close to 2000 million miso, is it a gain or a loss to change to a tribune?

Luden will settle the account himself.

The problem is that Lu Deng does not need to pay the 2000 million miso in a day!
And Luden will be a tribune in a few days!

When he becomes a tribune, the 2000 million miso is just a drop in the bucket?
Moreover, if the thoughts are darker, the calculations are more cold-blooded.

Among the more than 100 babies to be born, how many can give birth smoothly, how many can survive the first three years, and how many can grow to the height of a wheel?
In this era, the infant mortality rate is very high.

Luden used a bad check of 2000 million meters in exchange for popular support and tribunes.

Luden's real expenses are likely to be lower than 2000 million.

Moreover, Judge Gured doubted whether Luden had planned to live that long.

This man who kept saying that he didn't want to hang himself was always on the verge of death.

No one suffers from this transaction.

The pregnant women survived.

The Senate received a little applause, and people can not disgrace the Senate today.

The greedy palace got enough miso to fill the financial shortfall.

While Luden paid Miso, there was no suspense in taking down the tribune.

Judge Gured narrowed his eyes, his sparse eyebrows trembling, and looked in the direction where Luden disappeared.

Is it true, Mr. Luden?
May the saint bless you.

After returning to the small building, Lu Deng felt a little bored.

For some reason, there was always anxiety over him.

Such unease is rare.

What is he missing?
Luden replayed the video and didn't feel that he had missed anything.

He is really sending blessings, sending blessings with white miso, and doing good deeds sincerely.

Maybe the gimmick of this good event is greater than the reality, maybe Luden made a lot of publicity for this incident, maybe Luden's original purpose was not that simple.

But, it's really a good thing.

Luden closed his eyes tightly, and replayed the whole thing from beginning to end.

He knew that the so-called [welfare] would backfire at some point.

If high welfare benefits are given to the disabled, there will be a large number of healthy people who will find ways to turn themselves into disabilities.

If the unemployment benefits are too high for the unemployed, then people will stay at home and eat nothing.

But this time Luden helped pregnant women, and he only borne the expenses of the Greedy Palace without any other benefits.

What could go wrong?

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The knock on the door was weak and weak, and fell on Lu Deng's ears, but it was extremely dull, like thunder on the ground.

Open the door, under the night, there are a groom and a pregnant woman with red eyes standing at the door.

After seeing Mr. Luden, tears welled up in her eyes, and the pregnant woman choked up and said,

"Mr. Luden. Lena her. Lena her."

Looking at the sobbing pregnant woman in front of him, Lu Deng's heart sank, and the uneasiness came to the fore.

It's coming, it's coming.

Lena, this simple name, of course Luden remembered it.

The pregnant woman who took the lead in talking to Lu Deng yesterday was also the one who was closest to her due date.

The moment Luden heard the name, his mind went blank for a moment.

He seemed to hear a sigh in his ear.

Invite the pregnant woman into the room, bring a glass of warm water, and Luden is by his side, listening to the other party talking intermittently, what a tragedy this is.

"Last night, Lena's stomach started to hurt. She didn't say anything about it until she couldn't help humming, and we didn't find out."

"By this morning, I couldn't enter the city at that time. She should be giving birth. We are in a hurry, preparing things"

"Kerina won't let us get close to her, and no one is allowed to get close to her. Her face is pale and she's sweating non-stop. We don't know what to do. We really don't know how she persisted."

"We sent people to look for you in the city, and they said you went to the Senate."

"The people who entered the city failed to find you, and brought back the news of the Senate. Everyone was very happy, and Lina was also very happy. She asked us to put her on the tablet. She wanted to enter the city quickly. She even She couldn't even stand on her own, my God, I don't know how she did it, it took us a lot of work to get her into the carriage."

"The carriage is too bumpy. You shouldn't be in a carriage. Maybe a donkey cart will be better. Everything happened too fast and too messy. When we arrived at the gate of Shenbang, Lena she, she has, she has already"

As the woman spoke, she howled again.

Luden lowered his head slightly, without saying a word.

Lena didn't survive, and neither did the child.

In this day and age, childbirth is a high-risk event.

Whether it's for adults or children, it's the same.

In addition, Lena lasted for too long, the bumps along the way, and there was not enough scientific care
Thousands of words, finally turned into a sigh.

The pregnant woman wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and cried,
"Woo, those of us who are miserable, good luck has never favored Lina"

She wants to give birth after entering the state of God. She wants her future child to have the status of a citizen of the state of God. She has suffered so much and does not want her child to suffer again.

In the end, this tragedy happened.

Lina's behavior cannot be judged by right or wrong, and there is no need for others to criticize or discuss.

Adults are responsible for their own choices.

This is enough.

The pregnant woman calmed down, raised her red and swollen eyes, and said hoarsely,
"We feel that you need to be notified about this. You need not be disturbed by it. You have done nothing wrong. It's just that we poor people are suffering and it's our own fault."

Even in the last period of her life, Lena still praised Mr. Luden from the bottom of her heart.

In her heart, Mr. Luden is even more saintly than a saint.

The saint never gave her a helping hand, but Luden gave her hope within reach.

It's just that this hope, in the blink of an eye, shattered in the air like a bubble, and it no longer existed.

Lu Deng comforted the other party a few words, expressed his sadness and distress, and asked the other party to take care of his body.

In the end, the groom sent the pregnant woman back.

The small building fell into silence again.

Luden sat on a chair, supported his body by the back of the chair, covered his face with a hot towel, and the hot air gushed upwards and slowly dissipated in the air.

"Awu, sit down."

According to Mr. Luden's instructions, Awu sat opposite Mr. Luden.

There is a scale on the table, the two ends of which are empty.

Taking off the towel from his face, Luden sat up straight, and the strength returned to his body.

The darkness raged outside the small building, constantly eroding the light.

Under the dim candlelight, Lu Deng looked at A Wu, and the emotions in his eyes were so complicated that they couldn't be described in words.

There is disappointment, pain, numbness, unwillingness, and anger.
All emotions fused together into a single flame, a flame that can burn the soul.

This flame attracted Awu's full attention. He watched the flame ignite in Mr. Luden's eyes with his own eyes, and witnessed the flame fade away little by little.

Awu knew that the flame had never been extinguished, but was only concealed by Mr. Luden with a disguise.

He is a man who is good at disguising.

Only by getting closer, and getting closer, can it be possible to peep into the truth of Mr. Luden's inner world at certain moments.

After the flames disappeared, the suffocating sense of oppression disappeared, and Awu breathed in fresh air like a person who had almost drowned.

A faint melancholy seemed to hang over Mr. Luden.

Awu had never seen Mr. Luden like this.

so strange.

After an unknown amount of time, Luden broke the silence.

"There are two lives on the balance."

Luden pointed at the empty balance, and tortured Awu's soul,
"Which life did I save, and which life did I kill?"
