Chapter 67 Future Hope
The city of Patra is particularly cold in autumn, especially the prices that are rising randomly like wild dogs, which makes people feel the chill of late autumn.
In the Bronx, there are slums in Patras. In front of a dilapidated and old double-storey wooden building, Adams, dressed in a messy look, walked in with a decadent look, and made a squeaking sound when he stepped on it, as if the stairs would collapse at any time, and came to the dim second floor.
After passing a narrow walkway with a smell of rotten ash, Adams came to a room and knocked gently on the door.
A nervous female voice came from the room, "Who?"
"It's me!" Adams said in a low voice.
"You are finally back!" The woman in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
When Adams heard this, his already irritable heart became even more irritable. He whispered, "Open the door quickly! I really regret why I didn't sew your mouth, and the world would be much quieter!"
The room suddenly became quiet, and then the sound of heavy objects moving were heard.
The public security conditions in the slums were harsh, gangs were rampant, and robbed on the streets. In previous years, they had a whole village and usually lived together or nearby. There were many people and were powerful and safe. This year, only the three of them were left, and they were weak, so Adams and his family had to take such protection measures.
Not long after, the sound of heavy objects moving disappeared, and with a creak, the door was opened in a crack.
Adams became unhappy, but reason told him that this was a must, so he just snorted coldly, then opened the slit and squeezed in, and then closed it suddenly with a "bang".
In the aisle, there were only a depressing gasp.
Greedy voice!
In the room, Adams's wife and two sons, Kyle Adams and Rick Adams, were looking at him numbly.
Adams's wife asked him softly, "Have you bought bread?"
"Yeah." Adams took out two long stick-shaped black bread from his pocket.
Each one weighs about 10 lbs.
Just now, Adams didn't dare to reveal them, otherwise, it might not be just them, but even he might not be able to come back.
Kyle Adams and Rick Adams' eyes suddenly showed joy, and only their mother, but doubt flashed in their eyes.
"Didn't I take out thirty Poole copper coins? Didn't I say I could buy three loaves of bread? Why did I only buy two?" Adams's wife asked.
Speaking of this Adams, he was full of fire, but he didn't dare to post this fire in front of others, so he could only post it on his wife.
He said slanderously, "Do you think I don't want to buy three breads? Do you know how dangerous it is to go out every time? It's not that bakers raised by those whores, and the price has increased again! Damn it! Now the worst black bread costs fifteen Poole copper coins! What a shit! Fuck it, the bitch!"
Adams was timid!
His wife and two sons dare not speak.
It took him a while to calm down. He looked at his wife and son with complicated eyes, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and then said, "Okay, let's eat bread all."
Eating this kind of black bread directly requires chewing the teeth. It is either roasted with fire or soaked in water.
There was no fire in the room, so Adams's wife could only choose the second one.
She took a can of cold water from the room and cut three slices of black bread with a dining knife. After thinking about it, she cut another slice of black bread, then threw it into the can, waiting for the bread to soak softly.
The family of four surrounded the clay pot, relatively speechless.
The head of Adams, the family, did not want to speak, and other family members dared not speak.
The room was as silent as death.
I don’t know how long this time has passed, but finally the bread has been soaked in softness.
Adams's wife took out four pieces of black bread with her hands and divided it into pieces to Adams and her two sons. The remaining piece was broken into two halves and handed the big half to Adams.
Adams took the black bread as usual, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit it.
The two sons were also chewing on each other.
Adams's wife then ate half of her black bread in small bites.
"Ga..." Kyle Adams didn't know what he had eaten, and his mouth made a crunch, and his nose suddenly became a ball.
What he spits out of his mouth is a black stone.
There was a stone mixed in the black bread.
"Father, mother, is a stone,"
"These bitches... these bastards..." Adams saw this scene and the flames in his heart burned again, and he said angrily, and stood up, clenched his fists, and the next second, Adams seemed to have thought of something, like a balloon that was pierced with a hole, collapsed.
"Spray out the stones and continue eating bread." Adams said dejectedly.
Tears appeared in Kyle Adams' eyes. As the son of the former miller of the village of Nisse, although he had eaten black bread, when did he eat black bread mixed with stones?
"Why are you crying? You have to cry out!" Adams was angry and cursed when he saw this son's virtue.
The tears in Kyle Adams' eyes grew even more, and the tears flowed silently.
"Father, I want the bowl of broth from Lord Lord!" Kyle Adams whimpered.
"Kyle, you should be satisfied with your age!" Adams sneered, "Will you be willing to sell your life to the baron who knows nothing?"
"If you think you can, you can go back to the village of Nisse now, no one will stop you!"
Kyle Adams dared not speak, but just kept tears silently.
Kyle's brother Rick was not good at looking good, and interrupted, saying, "Father, Kyle is just missing him for a moment."
"Haha..." Adams smiled like a cold ice, "I heard that not long after we left, the wild people in the Cordillera Mountains attacked the village? How about it? Do you still miss it?"
"Wild Guys? Attack?" The news shocked Kyle Adams and Rick Adams and said blankly.
"That's right! Look, this is the end if you lose the protection of Viscount Grien! Do you think that the baron can protect us? It's still the city of Patras in winter, which can give people a sense of security!"
"Then... how are the people in Nanise Village now?" Kyle Adams hesitated and asked timidly.
"I heard that many people died!" In fact, Adams didn't know the end of the battle. He just heard the guys from a certain business chatting. The guys didn't say what the final result was.
Adams wasn't easy to ask.
"Ah..." Kyle Adams exclaimed when he heard the ending, and then felt something was wrong. He quickly covered his mouth and looked at his father Adams.
Adams looked unhappy, but he didn't lose his temper anymore.
This made Kyle Adams breathe a secretly.
Since coming to Patray City, his father Adams' temper has become worse and worse.
At this time, Adams's wife, Kyle and Rick's mother, said worriedly, "What should we do next year after winter?"
As soon as the words came out, Kyle Adams and Rick Adams fell silent.
This is a heavy topic, and no one in the Adams family dares to say it in the past few months.
Upon hearing this question, Adams unexpectedly did not get angry, but the old god was saying, "Our? We are naturally going back to that land!"
"Go back? Baron William has driven us away..." Adams's wife looked bitter.
"Haha...what if Baron William is gone?" Adams asked.
With a word, the whole room became quiet.
Adams smiled confidently, looked at his family and said, "The stupid Baron William thought that the power of hundreds of people could stop the Lizardman in the Shadow Swamp! If this were the case, Viscount Grien would have already included that land in his rule."
"He didn't think about it either! There are so many wild people in the Cordillera Mountains, why didn't he dare to attack the village of Nisse? This is because the village of Nisse is something in the Viscount Grien's bowl!"
"Don't worry! Without the Lord's Decas Corps, there will be another land of unlimited land. When spring comes, we will go wherever we come from!"
"Everything belongs to us!"
Adams's wife and wife heard this and her eyes were filled with hope for the future.
