Dawn of the Grey Tower

Chapter 29: Little wish

The little figure in rags walked barefoot on the muddy and polluted streets. Every time before the tsunami comes, the sanitation environment here will become worse than usual. The unknown substance under the feet is sticky but abnormally slippery, giving people the illusion that the sea snake has wrapped their ankles. But even if there is a sea snake under his feet, the child will not be too scared when he wants to come. Tiredness and hunger are enough to make people forget their fears, because his attention has long been difficult to concentrate, let alone deal with and associate.

The bustling streets of the past can now be described as desolate. The signboards hung by two short iron chains in front of the tavern are not as popular as usual. One of the iron chains has been broken due to corrosion. May fall down. The child avoided the underside of the signboard cautiously. He didn't want to be smashed into the head by the board falling from the sky.

But having said that, the child stayed in front of the building that was once a pub for a few seconds. If it is usually, people like him will be severely repaired by the thugs of the pub as long as they appear on the street, and the reason they repair him is not because he can infect a disease or affect the mood of the wine drinker. Just because they can have fun with it. But having the qualification to enter the tavern is still the longing goal of these street wanderers. There seems to be another child in the memory who once vowed that he will become a regular guest of the tavern one day, but what happened to him later? Was it minced as dog food, or was it thrown to the bottom of the port? Forget it, the so-called dream here is such a ridiculous thing.

Recovering from thinking about the tavern, the child re-examined his position. He knew that the stone fortress where the witches were located was right in the middle of the heartless bay, just as all heartbroken people knew this. But the closer to the witch's fortress, the more the place needs identity and status to walk. For this poor little guy, the stranger there is like another world. Do you want to give up? If you dive into the pub now, you can still find some food in the back kitchen that you haven't had time to move away.

No, I have seen too many dead bodies floating in the water. I don't want to be like that. The child clenched his teeth, not thinking about the food that might be in the tavern, and continued to walk towards the center of the city. And when he walked to the place closest to the inner city where he had been, he thought of a question. If the tsunami was coming, would the witch still be in their fortress? Or did they go to the sea as early as those rich people to take refuge?

Looking at the cleaner street in front, he fell into a "confusion". At this moment, there was a noise in the street, and the child subconsciously hid in the shadow of the side in accordance with the survival instinct. The swear words mixed with the unique tone of the fish port gradually became clear, and the child immediately realized that it was the voice of the scavenger. The so-called scavengers, also known as scavengers, will do a final round of cleaning the city before the tsunami comes, and take those things with certain value to the port to sell to those willing to buy them. This is a very special industry, or they are not enough to be called the industry, because the tsunami is not always lost and patronized every year, so most of the scavengers still do other work. Like pirates or thugs.

What should I do? The child hesitated as the footsteps and curses approached. He looked around and wanted to find a safe escape route. Although he felt that these people should not waste time beating himself, he had no risk capital. where? Where can I escape? Looking, looking anxiously, and finally fixed on the wooden box and barrel on the side, if you can climb on the pile of debris, you may be able to climb the roof. This is a bold idea, because he has never tried it before. But in order to survive now, it is worth a try.

The two scavengers are carrying a small wooden cabinet with good workmanship. They found it from the house of a businessman. Obviously, the family had no time to bring the furniture to the ship together before going to sea. And like this gold-plated silver cabinet, there must be many captains who want to buy it and put it in their captain's room. If they are lucky, they will make a lot of money. However, the benefits that may be obtained do not alleviate the dissatisfaction during the transportation. The two scavengers are reluctant to contribute, which results in the wooden cabinet they are carrying in a state of shaking.

Finally, one of them could not stand the laziness of his companion, even though he was doing the same thing himself. "Hey, if we throw this thing on the ground, no one can share the money, right?" The other person sneered coldly, "Then maybe you should do more, because I found it from that **** house This thing! And you just go to the wardrobe! "

"Every piece of clothes with lace can be sold for a lot of fools! And we are definitely more profitable than taking this crappy box! You stupid!" The first person said. As soon as the second man heard this, he immediately dropped his face. He let go and let the wooden box fall to the ground. "Then what? Did you find clothes! No! You only know the complaining waste, except for drinking ..." "Wow!" Just as he said more and more excited, a lot of collisions were never far away Came from the alley. It sounds like a pile of wooden barrels and wooden boxes scattered together.

"Who!" "Who's where!" The two sailors immediately pulled out their weapons ~ www.readwn.com ~ bowed and approached the alley. Then they saw wooden products scattered all over the place, and a child who was pressed to the ground by a wooden box. The latter's thin and ugly right hand was struggling, trying to remove the wooden box on his body, but it was obviously too heavy for him.

"Ha, a sick chicken." The scavengers played a knife flower, full of disdain and contempt. "It just happened that I was suffocating, maybe stabbing something would make me feel better." He said he wanted to go up, but was stopped by another person, "There is no money to kill a sick chicken. We still Hurry to move the cabinet to the pier to change the money, and in the afternoon there is still time to search again. As for this little guy, let him be pressed here to starve to death thirsty. "The first person spit on the ground in dismay Spit, nodded and agreed with the companion.

The sound of footsteps is gradually away. Only the child who was pressed under the wooden box gave up struggling and looked at the sky in the alley. His ears were filled with muddy water, maybe the muddy water had already poured into his brain along the ear canal. I'm so hungry that I didn't get a full meal in the end. It would be nice if I just searched into the pub just now. There may be leftover wine there, what is the taste of wine? I heard that it is similar to horse "urine". Why do people want to drink horse "urine"? Ah, I ca n’t think of it, so sleepy ...
