Pirate Traveling Merchant

After the boat sailed far away, Nolan turned and walked towards the town or slums.

The old man and the others stood at the intersection, observing Nolan and the others from a distance.

Arriving in front of the old man, Nolan saw the old man frowning and said, "Don't worry, they won't tell anything about what happened here."

The old man shook his head, "It's impossible for me to believe such nonsense. No one in this world can 100% believe it."

Nolan shrugged, not caring what the old man said.

He looked at the children standing in the crowd. At this time, almost every child looked at him with longing eyes.Ever since they smelled the candy Nolan took out, they couldn't forget it. If adults hadn't stopped them, they would have come forward to ask for it.

The children were drooling all the time, and this scene made Nolan burst into laughter.

He took out a lot of candies from his pocket and put them on the ground, and said to the children: "Eat it."

The children did not dare to move, some were timid, and kept looking at the faces of their parents.But the parents themselves couldn't control themselves. They knew the taste of candies. After coming here, they never tasted them again.The sweet taste in their memories flooded into their hearts again, constantly stimulating their taste buds.

But they have their own rules here. No one can act without permission without permission.Because the food source here is very limited, no matter what it is, everyone must discuss it. No one can act rashly without the permission of the old man.

Feeling the eager eyes around him, the old man sighed and said, "Eat."

After getting the old man's permission, everyone cheered and rushed forward to grab the candies placed on the ground.

Although the scene was somewhat chaotic, Nolan found that there was no looting or quarreling.The person who gets the candy first will consciously pass the candy to those who haven't gotten it yet.

In the chaos, everyone tacitly maintained a certain order.

Seeing this, Nolan was secretly amazed, and couldn't help but feel a little higher in the position of the old man standing next to him in his heart.

When people ate the candies, they had happy smiles on their faces.

Everyone's smiling faces put a smile on the face of the old man who had always remained serious.

"Oh, by the way, I have something else here."

Infected by people's happy atmosphere, Nolan took out more food from his pocket one after another.There's meat, there's desserts, there's bread... Many of the things Nolan bought randomly before have finally been put to use.

The people here were stunned for a moment.

When the children saw Nolan taking out so many things like magic, their eyes almost fell to the floor. They came to Nolan's side excitedly, and they screamed once when Nolan took out a new thing.

A child asked out of curiosity: "Brother, is your bag a treasure chest? Otherwise, how could it hold so many things?"

Nolan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Yes, my pocket is a treasure chest, containing all kinds of things."

"Wow, that's amazing!"

The children all looked at Nolan with admiration, which was very helpful to Nolan.

"Hmph, you can call me Brother Baibao from now on. My nickname is Baibao Nolan." Nolan said very proudly.

"Brother Baibao, brother Baibao, what else is in your pocket? Can we take a look?"

The children waited expectantly for Nolan to come up with something new.

"We'll be here for today. You guys eat these first. Brother, I'll talk about it next time if I have something else to do." Nolan saw the old man with a very dark face and motioned to him with his eyes frantically, asking Nolan to follow him.

Nolan followed him in confusion. He didn't know why the old man looked so ugly. Didn't he see that everyone was eating so happily?

Coming to a deserted corner, the old man shouted to Nolan with a sullen face: "What are you doing!"

Nolan covered his ears with his hands and said aggrievedly: "I am giving some good food to the people here."

"You, you, don't you know how serious the consequences of doing this are?" The old man was so angry that his body was shaking.

"There are no consequences. Aren't everyone enjoying the meal?" Nolan said puzzledly.

"If you do this, can they continue to live here peacefully? Let's not talk about the adults. They have experienced hardships and can control themselves, but what about the children? The children will definitely make noises all day long to go out. ." The old man's face turned red because of his anger.

Nolan said calmly: "My purpose of helping you is to allow the children to go out and live in a normal human society. Now that they want to go out, it's too late for me to be happy. Do I have to let them accompany me?" You guys will live your whole life here.”

"You...you..." The old man didn't know what to say for a moment. He also knew that it was really unfair to let the children stay with them for the rest of their lives. , but he doesn’t want to either.The people who would choose to live here are basically people who can no longer return to normal social life.

"Oh, you don't understand, you don't understand the situation here." The old man said with a sigh.

"There's nothing I don't understand. It's just that the people here have all been slaves and have lost hope in life." Nolan said softly while looking at the people not far away who were laughing and eating.

The old man glanced at Nolan in surprise, "Do you recognize the marks on them?!"

Nolan nodded, "Well, I know some."

"Then why do you want them to regain their desire for the outside world? If you do this, they will suffer again." The old man said excitedly.

"Huh, what kind of suffering? All the difficulties in this world are just due to their own weakness." Nolan snorted coldly, "If they don't want to become stronger and just escape, then they can only live in such a humble way. .”

"Perhaps, you can live a peaceful life here for a few years temporarily, but can you guarantee that this kind of life can continue forever and that pirates or slave owners will not discover this place?"

Nolan looked at the old man coldly. The old man was so confused by Nolan's words that he didn't know what words to use to refute.

He could only say weakly: "But they no longer have the heart to fight. They can never erase the marks on their bodies. In the eyes of normal people, they will always be inferior. It is difficult to even live a normal life."

The old man's voice became softer and softer as he spoke. Although he lowered his head, Nolan could still imagine the old man's very lonely expression, and he must be very sad and angry.At first glance, the old man is a man with a lot of stories, and the stories may not be very good.Judging from the old man's current state, he must have suffered a serious blow before he became like this.

Although, Nolan can understand why the old man is like this and knows that the old man has been doing his best to build a not-so-good utopia for the people who come here.

Because the old man himself was a person who had completely lost confidence and hope, he endured the grief in his heart and tried his best to manage the people and things here.It’s not that he didn’t pay enough sincerity, people here wouldn’t listen to him so much.

However, Nolan does not allow these people who have lost their confidence to let the children living here become like them.Because Nolan has lived until now and has met people who have a great influence on him, such as the village chief, Long Yi.He has never instilled any bad thoughts into him. Although the village chief himself lives a very poor life, he still encourages Nolan to live a positive and optimistic life.Although Long Yi was in the shadow of the world, he never taught himself to go astray or forced himself to go against the world.

No matter what situation they are in, they all hope that Nolan can live well, live positively, live optimistically, and live kindly.Nolan has never seen any anger or curses about the injustice of this world on their faces, and Nolan has always been very lucky to meet them in his heart.

It is precisely because of the influence of the village chief and Long Yi that Nolan can now stand in the sunshine and live freely.

Therefore, after seeing the people here, after losing hope in life, and hoping that their children would be like them, Nolan was very angry.

Nolan looked at the old man and said indifferently: "Just because you can't get out yourself doesn't mean that others can't rekindle hope. If you give up, don't drag those children to sink with you. You adults may not have the chance to start again." I’ll do it again, but children still have endless possibilities.”
