Our family is in decline

On the other hand, the captain was very popular at the wine table. Everyone recognized him as the man who saved Susan today.

Even though he was a stranger, the townspeople showed kindness and welcome to him, and the wine glass in front of him was never empty.

Everyone wanted to vent the pressure accumulated during this period, and since it was originally a celebration, there was no need for much reason. The wine was drank one glass after another.

By the time the event reached midnight, everyone at the venue had eaten and drank and slowly left the venue. Go back and have a good rest as you still have to work tomorrow.

Only a few people cleaning up were still walking around in the square, and soon they discovered the drunk captain lying under the table.

"Hey wake up, it's time to go home."

The man patted the captain on the shoulder, but he woke up suddenly.

"Ah!" The captain stood up suddenly, waving his limbs wildly and shouting, "Don't come over here!"

The few people cleaning up were also startled by the captain's reaction.

Under the influence of alcohol, he had already lost consciousness, and he just got up instinctively and wanted to leave here.

It's just that he was injured himself, and after drinking so much wine, he staggered after taking a few steps, and was about to fall to the ground. At this time, the person who woke him up just raised his hand and helped him. He caught it.

And the captain was in her arms, his head tilted and he was completely drunk...

"Ah~" The captain felt a severe headache. He drank too much last night, and his hangover made his whole brain throbbing.

However, under the influence of alcohol, he was finally able to get rid of those evil spirits temporarily and slept peacefully. The nerves that had been tortured for many days were somewhat relaxed.

But where is this place?

The captain looked at the surrounding environment and found that it was not the room he woke up in before, but a relatively simple thatched house, which was also the residence of most ordinary people.

Looking at the surrounding situation, he felt as if he had returned home, where his family used to live together...

"You're awake!"

With a lively tone, the captain looked over and saw a plainly dressed girl walking in carrying some food. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"What did I do last night? Where is this?"

The captain forced himself to sit up with his hands. He was afraid that he would go crazy after being drunk last night. He didn't want to hurt anyone again.

"Don't tell me, you were screaming and moving all night long. You woke me up several times. Fortunately, it became quieter in the second half of the night."

Speaking of this, the girl also frowned and complained unceremoniously, showing no defensiveness at all.

"As for this, of course this is my home~"

"I'm sorry...I'll leave right away." The captain apologized and struggled to get up.

"Hey~ What are you doing?" The girl immediately put down the things and supported him before sitting up, complaining: "You're not healed yet, be careful."

The captain sat up and sighed, why are the people here so friendly to a stranger like him~

"You should eat first and then leave. I have to go to work too."

The girl took the thing and put it between the two of them, and then started eating by herself. Seeing that the captain didn't do anything, she looked at him strangely.

"Why don't you eat?"

The captain looked at the food. What she had in front of her should be the leftover bread and broth from last night, but there was an extra glass of milk and an egg on her side.

"I'm not hungry yet, you can eat."

The captain pushed the milk in front of the girl, but she shook her head in rejection.

"I bought this for you to drink. I heard from the lord that drinking this is good for your health. If you are injured, drinking this will help you get better quickly."

But as she spoke, the girl's eyes still couldn't help but look at the glass of milk, and her lips stopped biting the black bread.

The captain didn't understand when he saw this scene. He also had a rough idea of ​​the situation in the town from Susan. These children were so bitter that they might not have tasted the taste, let alone the meat.

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"Because you saved Sister Susan. She usually takes good care of us. I don't know how to thank you. If you take these, you will get better quickly."

The captain let out a long sigh to calm his choked throat, and raised his hands to cover his tearful eyes, not wanting others to see it.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, I have a headache from drinking too much last night."

"Are the injuries on your body from fighting with bandits?"

The girl's curious words drew his attention back, and the captain was stunned for two seconds before nodding.

"That's right~"

The alpha wolf was considered a bandit, but he didn't lie.

However, the captain, who had no confidence, quickly changed the subject and did not want to delve deeper.

"Where are your parents? Why aren't you at home?"

"They all died at the hands of bandits to protect me. Then I escaped to the fields and was kidnapped by the mercenaries and sold into a brothel. I was later rescued by the lord."

Hearing this, the captain's eyes flashed with confusion. His hand seemed to be stuck to his forehead and he didn't dare to let go. He didn't have the courage to look directly at the girl again.

"The lord is very kind to us. He healed our injuries, allocated houses to us, and arranged work for us. Now I can have three copper coins every day! I can also go to the square to attend classes in the evening to learn literacy."

The girl is very simple, and her face immediately lights up when she talks about this, and her smile is filled with youthful vitality, or hope, hope for the future life.

Her optimistic attitude towards life seemed to rub off on the captain, and he gradually let go of her hand.

"What about you? Why did you come here alone?"

"I..." The captain spoke several times, but when the words reached his mouth, he trembled and was unable to speak.

The girl suddenly remembered that she had heard from Sister Susan that his family was also killed by bandits, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.

"It's okay. Those bandits have been wiped out by the lord. Don't be sad. Moreover, the lord said that we must face reality and look to the future. Life will get better. You can stay and wait until you are healed..."

The girl didn't understand anything. She was just trying to use the simplest words to comfort a person like herself.

The captain finally drank some milk, because only then the girl would share it with him.

"Are you really okay?" The girl couldn't help but feel worried when she saw the captain's weak appearance. "You can rest for a while and wait until your injury is better before you come out for activities."

"No, I have something I have to do."

The captain dragged his weak body and took steps that were firmer than ever before.

He knew that he owed too many people in this town. His experiences during this period told him that there was no point in escaping. The more he escaped, the more painful he would be. He had to do something to repay his sins.

[I am willing to pay the price with my life for this! 】
