053. How can there be such a good place in the world (3, please order first)
Chapter 53
Under the moonlight, a young man with a sallow complexion dragged his tired body into the dilapidated log cabin.
The young man was so tall that he even had to be short to enter the house.
However, he was too thin, his cheeks were deeply sunken on both sides, his eyes were blank, and his whole body was haggard like a bent bamboo pole.
The young man sat in the room and rested for a while, and then slowly took off his clothes by the moonlight.
One after another welt marks can be clearly seen on the bony body, as if a fishing net had grown on the young man, and could strangle him to death at any time.
“damn it…”
The young man whispered a few words, mixed with someone’s name, and his eyes were full of resentment, pain, and deep helplessness.
He groped for a little black herb from under the bed and applied it to the fresh wounds on his body.
Then, out of nowhere, he took out half a piece of equally dark bread, and put it in his mouth and nibbled it bit by bit.
The bread was hard and tasted so bad that it was like swallowing a large piece of dry bark and cutting it so badly.
But the young man still ate carefully and seriously, and even picked up a few crumbs that fell on the ground and ate them.
Because he has not eaten for a whole day, this is all his rations today, and tomorrow, there is a lot of extremely heavy life waiting for him.
After the young man finished eating the brown bread, he poured some cold water into his mouth, then sat on the edge of the bed staring at the moon outside the window in a daze.
“If I had known.. if I had known, I should have left this damned place with Uncle John. Even if it was eaten by a gnoll, it would be better than being a ghost like now.”
The young man muttered a few words and was about to lie down and sleep with a sad face.
Only dreaming can give him some comfort.
But just as he was about to lie down, a shadow suddenly shook outside the window, and then there was a knock on the door.
The young man jumped up from the bed and shouted vigilantly, “Who?!”
“it’s me.”
A thick middle-aged man’s voice came from outside the door, with a nasal tone familiar to the youth.
“Uncle John?!
The young man was startled and shook his head again, “Impossible, Uncle John has already escaped from Silver Tree City with Ashley, how can he come back again, I must have misheard.”
But the next second the knock sounded again, and it became more urgent.
“Guy, open the door quickly, I’m John.”
Really Uncle John?!
The young man hurried to the door, opened the door, and a few figures quickly got in.
“Fortunately, it was not found by the guards”||!”5
“Those guys get drunk at night, and there’s no one patrolling the streets at all, otherwise we wouldn’t have escaped last time, so don’t worry.”5
“Still be careful…”
Several people exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then a person came out, took off the hood on his head, and revealed a face that was very familiar to the young man.
“Uncle John, it’s really you!
The young man was surprised and delighted, and then he asked suspiciously, “Why are you back? Who are they?!”
“Stinky boy, I haven’t seen you for a few days, and I can’t even hear your brother Bat’s voice!”
A man came up and put his arms around the young man’s neck, revealing a simple and honest face.
“Brother Bart! Why did you come back? You… haven’t you escaped from the city, why… cough cough…”
The young man didn’t say a word when he suddenly coughed violently, his face showing pain.
Bart looked again, and hurriedly removed the youth’s clothes, and at a glance, flames suddenly spewed out of his eyes.
“Those bastards, hit you again!”
“it’s okay no problem..”
A weak smile appeared on the young man’s face, and he comforted: “I’m used to it.. You haven’t said why you are back again..”
John said in a deep voice: “We’ll talk about it later, Guy, you go and help me call up all the old neighbors and old friends, all come to my house, I have something important to tell you..
Remember, don’t be spotted by the guards.
Guy was stunned, but nodded, “Okay, I see.
Half an hour later, more than twenty people were crowded into John’s former hut.
The hut was dimly lit by candlelight, and the windows were tightly sealed with quilts, so that no light could penetrate.
“…It’s probably what I said, what do you think?”
John closed his mouth and glanced at everyone around him.
These old neighbors and friends who were his old neighbors looked bewildered, and they didn’t seem to have recovered from what John had just said.
Bart on the side couldn’t help urging: “What are you still hesitating about, Bambi City is a hundred times better than here, and our Lord of the City is a thousand times stronger than that bastard Andrew, more than ten thousand times.
Hurry up and pack up and go to Bambi City with us to have a good time!
After Bart finished speaking, he looked at everyone, and finally someone spoke.
“John, you said that the lord of Bambi City led an army to defeat four or five thousand gnolls?!”
John nodded, “Yes, Bart and I have seen it with our own eyes. This year’s gnolls are several times more than in previous years. If the Lord of the City hadn’t led everyone to defend Bambi City, I estimate that Silver Tree City would also fall.”
“This is impossible!
The person who asked the question immediately shook his head and affirmed: “It’s impossible for so many gnolls to come at once. Even if so many come, Bambi City can’t hold it, unless it’s an army of troops!”
“How is it impossible?! 35
Bart was in a hurry and defended: “The city guards and soldiers under the city lord are all knight masters, and some have even cultivated vindictiveness, and the city lord himself is a great high-level knight, and there are many gods sent to him. The messenger, the gnoll was beaten back at once.”
Bart even drew strokes with his hands, but the more he hurried, the more unclear he became.
The voices of doubt are increasing.
“That’s right. He also said that as long as we go there, he will arrange a new house for us for free, give us new clothes, and eat better than the nobles. Is that possible?
“How can there be a job with more than 1 gold coin a month, I don’t believe it if you kill me!”
“I also don’t believe that if there are 20 coppers per pound of salt, wouldn’t those businessmen lose their lives?”
“John, Bart, are you always saying that you were bought by the lord of Bambi City and deliberately lied to us, trying to arrest us as slaves? 35
“Yes, nobles are all bastards, vampires, how can they be as good as you say!
A group of people said one sentence to me, and Bart was speechless. His bronzed face was flushed with excitement.
“Everyone, be quiet! 35
John suddenly spoke, and the field suddenly became quiet.
“I know it’s hard for people to believe right now.”
John said very seriously, “To be honest, before I went to Bambi City, if Bart came and said these words to me, I would definitely kick his ass with my feet!
Nobility, I hate nobility too.
Maria wouldn’t be dead if it wasn’t for that bastard Andrew!
I hate you more in my heart.
If it weren’t for Ashley, I would have died a long time ago, and I went desperately with Andrew.
But…
His Royal Highness the Third Prince is different!””
John’s eyes trembled, and he said in a low voice, “Have you ever seen a nobleman who holds a commoner’s child like a treasure in his arms? Have you ever seen a nobleman who hasn’t even collected a single penny of tax so far?
Have you ever seen aristocrats who built houses for commoners with their own money and lived a good life?
His Royal Highness the Third Prince, he is the most noble nobleman I have ever seen, and the noblest I have ever seen that does not resemble a nobleman.
“Everyone believes that I have an appointment with (the money is good) John once, and when I arrive in Bambi City, if I tell a lie, you will nail me at the stake and burn me to death.”
After John finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
“right!
Bart also echoed: “Today, we sneaked back to Silver Tree City, and the Lord of the City also sent us here. He knows that everyone is living a life inferior to pigs and dogs in Silver Tree City.
The Lord of the City is kind, he wants to save everyone, but he is afraid that Andrew will threaten everyone’s life, so let us come in and let everyone know.
Bart pointed to the outside and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it now. When the people sent by the city lord opened the city gate, the city guards rushed in and slashed that bastard Andrew’s head with a knife. Then you will believe it..”
Just then, the door was pushed open with a bang.
Guy, who was hiding outside to let everyone out, hurried in and said anxiously, “Andrew’s guards are here!”
“what?!”
“They found us?!
Everyone panicked.
Guy shook his head and said quickly: “It’s a gnoll, the gnoll ran into the city, and Andrew’s men couldn’t stop it, and they started catching civilians to fill the wolf’s stomach!”
