Beginning: I became the biggest villain

"Mom, the explosion was so loud last night, will anyone come to our place to eat?"

"Of course. There may be dangerous prisoners nearby, so even those Nighthawks may come over for dinner."

"Really? Will the Nighthawks uncles come too?"

"I think they will come. Wasn't it the same last time? After the accident, there were many Nighthawks wearing black cloaks here the next day."

"Mom, do you think if we also wear black cloaks, would we also be nighthawks?"

"Haha, don't think so. It's rude for you to treat them like this."

"Oh fine."

Two figures, one large and one small, appeared in the restaurant.

The older one was wearing a gray-black sarong with a worn but clean cyan apron on top.There were some freckles on her face, and her hair was pulled up and wrapped with a piece of reddish-brown cloth, giving her an overall neat look.

The younger one was wearing a yellow cloth coat with pudding, a big pocket on the front of his belly, a pair of pigtails on his head, and his eyes were as smart as those of a child.

They took out the leftover rice from the counter, heated it up, and ate it simply.The bread was brought from home and they didn't live in the restaurant because their mother didn't think it was safe.

They would bring enough bread every time and warm it over a low fire. If the guests couldn't finish it, it would be their dinner. In this way, the bread they provided would always taste good.

"Mosha, go open the door. Someone should be up by this time."

"Okay, Mom."

Mosha obediently opened the door.The door of the restaurant is made of wood. There is a three-finger-wide wooden shelf on each of the two doors, with a crossbar stuck on it.A rope hung from the crossbar, and the rope hung down through the wooden beam above.

If it's inside, just pull the string gently to open it.If it is outside, there is also a corresponding opening method.This kind of door cannot protect against thieves. Even if you kick the door with all your strength, the door and the wall can be knocked down together.

However, no one here would steal.Because life is not easy for everyone, even those who are desperate will not choose to steal.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is very close to a wall, and there are often night watchers there.Nighthawks have a very high status in the hearts of civilians, and no one dares to commit crimes at the risk of being discovered by Nighthawks.

Mosha opened the door, and after a while, a middle-aged man walked in, holding a sheepskin water bag in his hand.

"Mrs. Moy, as always, bring me a pot of hot water."

The middle-aged man placed the water bag and a light brown coin on the counter.

This is the currency issued by the King's District, Fir Coin.There are three types of this kind of coins, namely Fir gold, Fir silver, and Fir copper, and the exchange ratio between them is 1:10.The obverse of the coin is an elaborate cross and the reverse is a tower-like structure.

Currency here is more like a voucher, a middleware used to exchange materials, rather than an asset.The purchasing power of currency is different in various regions, and each region has its own set of measurement standards.

For example, here, 2 fel copper can be exchanged for a loaf of bread, and 9 fel copper can buy a bottle of wine.

"Ok."

Moi did not go to get the Fair Copper. Instead, he went into the back room to get a basin of water, returned and poured it into the pot. Then he used a fire stick to light up the coals below, and then turned around.

Because Wang District attaches great importance to trees, it vigorously promotes the use of coal.This kind of coal is made from specially produced trees, and 5 fils of copper can be exchanged for half a month's usage of the restaurant, so no one would think of using wood that is not as efficient as coal and takes time and effort to obtain.

"How is Dulan doing recently? I haven't seen her go out for a long time." Moi asked while looking at the fire.

There are two stoves in the restaurant, the one in the lobby is used for boiling water, and the one in the back room is used for cooking.The two stoves are actually one body, separated by two sides of the wall, with the same chimney.This configuration allows her to chat with guests while she is warming water or toasting bread.

"The reaction is not that severe. I think it will be enough in two months. I am also considering whether to take her to the King's District. After all, the conditions there are much better."

The middle-aged man said, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing that he was relatively happy inside.

His wife is due to give birth in nearly two months, so he comes here every day to get a bag of relatively clean hot water.If it were normal, even if he was not short of food, he would not be so extravagant that he would have to buy water.

"Well, it's safer there." A hint of envy appeared in Moi's eyes. Her biggest dream was to take little Mosha to live in the King's District, even if it was just for a short period of time.

"I was quite hesitant at first. Not to mention the cost of going to the King's District, the distance there is not very close. It would be bad if something happened along the way. But now, I am a little more determined.", middle-aged man He looked out the window melancholy, his tone a bit aggravated.

Moi nodded and said understandingly:

"Is it because of the big noise last night?"

"Well. Forget it some time ago, after all, the area involved was too big. But this time, it's just around here, so I'm a little worried." The middle-aged man clenched his fists unconsciously, with a look on his face. concern.

"Yes. You can wait for the news. If the Nighthawks take their attitude more seriously, it will be safer to leave while they are around here."

The middle-aged man touched the stubble on his face and agreed: "I think so too, just look at the presence of Nighthawks these days. Having said that, I would like to ask you to pay attention to it."

"Of course, I will help and pay attention." Moi agreed. By this time, the water was already boiling hot. She used the basin she had prepared to cool down the boiling water, and then poured it into the skin water bag:

"It's alright. Let's walk slowly."

Moi handed the leather water bag to the middle-aged man, and then put away the Fair Copper on the counter.

The middle-aged man nodded, took the water bag and left.

"Mom, is it dangerous for us to stay here?"

Mosha obviously heard the conversation just now and asked worriedly.

Moi's eyes dimmed slightly, and he comforted him after a second:

"Don't worry, bigger noises were fine before, and they will be fine now."

Mosha said "Oh" and wisely didn't ask any more questions.

There were not many guests in the morning, except for Uncle Wu He who came first, and Granny Mao who lived on the same street as them.

Grandma Mao has bad teeth, so she usually brings hard bread and asks her mother to help heat it, or make it into bread soup.Mom didn’t want to accept the money, but Granny Mao insisted on giving her two Feir coppers a week.

"Hey, when can we have guests?"

Mosha leaned against the counter and looked at the roof with some boredom.

"It's almost noon. I guess someone will come, right? There's not enough salt. Go get some for me."

"Oh."

Mosha agreed dumbly and walked slowly to the back room, where the salt was placed in the cupboard.

The cabinet can be divided into upper and lower layers, with wooden shelves divided into square grids above, used to store some light items.Below is a cabinet with two small doors, which contains seasonings.These spices are not very precious, but I am afraid that they will get wet if stored for a long time, so I put them in a relatively dry cabinet.

"As for the salt, I remember it seemed to be in a red bag."

Mosha whispered to herself, and then pulled towards the cabinet door.

"Huh? Why can't you open it?"

Mosha murmured, then grabbed the door handle with both hands and pulled it out with all her strength.She even leaned back, trying to add her weight.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make the cabinet door move at all.

"What's going on? Why don't you go find your mother to open it?"

Mosha frowned and looked at the cabinet door. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the cabinet door suddenly opened.

Then, the room became silent.

Inside the cabinet.

Mosha opened her eyes wide and looked at the "little child" inside, feeling deeply confused.

"who are you?"

The two looked at each other for more than ten seconds, and Mosha finally couldn't help but ask.

Ye Tian looked at Mosha nervously and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that she had no intention of "reporting" him to her mother.If her mother really treats her as a bad person, she will have no choice but to leave.

Fortunately, he was smart and disguised himself as a child in advance, dispelling Mosha's wariness.

"Uh, I, I came from the next village."

Ye Tian held his forehead, not yet thinking about making up a false identity.But since the other party is a child, it should be easy to deceive, right?

"You're talking nonsense. The nearest village is more than ten kilometers away from here, and there are wild dogs on the road. You, a child, can't even walk through it. And I know everyone in this village, and there is no such thing as you."

Mo Sha looked directly at Ye Tian and exposed his "lies" without mercy.

"Uh, um, actually..." Ye Tian rubbed his temples and really didn't know how to make it up.

"You are a gangster from the neighborhood, right? Only among those people are there 'children' that I don't know."

Mosha said in a tone of "I know who you are better than you do" and emphasized the word "kid".

"Ah, yes." Ye Tian slapped his palms, his eyes brightened a little, and then he said in a proud tone:

"That's right. I have been the dominant figure in the village since I was three years old. Even dogs have to give in when they see me."

Then Ye Tian poked Mosha's shoulder and raised his chin:

"How's it going? I'm just asking you if you're afraid or not?"

"Don't be afraid." Mosha snorted softly, and then sneered: "You hateful guys, if you are restless all day long, you will cause trouble to others. I hate you before it's too late."

What?You are not afraid?I'm even going to threaten you not to tell me. Why aren't you afraid?

If you do this, what should I do next?

"Okay, it's time for me to go out. You can stay here if you like, as long as you don't cause trouble for us. I'm warning you, you'd better stay away from those gangsters, or I'll hit you with a stick next time gone."

Mosha gave a solemn warning, took a bag of things from inside and went out.

Ye Tian looked at the closed cabinet door, his mind went blank.

Is this a success?

who I am?where am I?What did I just do?
