Personality V: I will save everything
Chapter 55 "Falling Stars"
Constantly groping and crawling in the dark, dealing with dust and muddy water every day, this is the daily life of the miners at the bottom.
There is no sunshine, no hope, and no future here. The money that I constantly exchange my life for every day can only barely provide food and clothing.
But there is something different today, oh my God, those strange upper-class gentlemen would actually come to a place like this.
That's right, the people who came were none other than Luchino, Juke and Natasha.
While at the manor, the manor owner told the three of them that they needed to come to the mining area to find their next "family".
He also gave them a bag of strange gems. When the manor owner handed the bag of gems to them, he told them that the bag of gems was not for use, but for eating.
? ? ? ? ?
The manor owner's words put a question mark on what they said, but they still recorded it.
At the same time, the manor owner also gave them a bag of gold coins to use as real tolls on their journey.
By the way, they were given a picnic basket from which any food could be taken. After all, the manor owner knew that the food in the mining area was definitely not good, and they might have to stay there for several days.
The owner of the manor is always so meticulous in his preparations, isn't he?
Now that the manor owner has prepared everything for them, the three of them are naturally ready to hit the road.
But when they left the manor, Qiu Ke looked back and saw that the manor owner was covering his mouth and snickering.
Qiu Ke: I have a bad feeling...
This is why the three of them are walking back and forth in the mining area now. To be honest, the painting style of the three of them is very inconsistent with that in the mining area.
It's like putting three bright gems in a dark and dusty corner.
The miners around were all wearing tatters and their bodies were covered in dust and mud. On the other hand, Luchino and the three of them were dressed in gorgeous aristocratic clothes, and their bodies were covered with jewelry made of precious stones, and they looked glamorous.
Of course, this appearance that was incompatible with the mining area naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Luchino and Juke naturally kept a distance from the miners around them, but Natasha was different. To be honest, this was the first time she had left the manor since entering the manor, and she seemed a little excited.
She bounced along the way, not caring whether the muddy water splashing on the slippery road would dirty her shoes.
But her smart and beautiful appearance aroused ridicule in the hearts of the miners around her.
"Oh, look at her like that. I really hope she falls down and stains her skirt. I want to see if she can still laugh?"
"Disgusting noble ghost."
"She even brought a picnic basket. What's wrong? What's wrong with these noble gentlemen? Do you want to have a picnic in a place like this?"
Voices like these echoed in the hearts of the miners, but they naturally did not dare to say what they were thinking. No miner at the bottom would be willing to offend a group of noble lords. This group of noble ghosts could kill them with just a few fingers. Woolen cloth.
At this moment, a woman in tattered clothes knelt down in front of Natasha with a child in her arms.
"Please, this beautiful noble lady, please give me some food. My husband also died in an accident in the mine. We really have no choice. Please give me some food." Well, my child is about to starve to death." The woman said as she hugged the child and buried her head deeply in the soil.
The miners around recognized her. This woman was Henry's wife. Henry died in the mine tunnel due to an accident a few days ago. This kind of thing is too common among the miners at the bottom.
But the surrounding miners did not want to stop this woman. Instead, they laughed at her in their hearts. Did she make the wrong move? Actually begging from these noble ghosts?
The surrounding miners were even discussing in low voices. They were betting on whether the noble ghost would kick her away or beat her to death.
In fact, Henry's wife had no choice but to do this. She had even thought about it in her mind. If she was lucky, she could get a little food and could hold on for a while. If she was unlucky, If you die, just die. At worst, you'll just die.
"What's your name?" Natasha asked.
"I, I am Henry's wife..." the woman stuttered back, not knowing what the noble lady in front of her wanted to do.
"I'm not asking whose wife you are, I'm asking your name."
"My, my name is Kelly."
"Is that so?" Natasha said as she put her hand into the picnic basket she had been carrying.
In this scene, Kelly saw the aristocratic lady in front of her looking for a pistol in the picnic basket, hoping to end her life with one shot.
Kelly closed her eyes in despair. It was okay to leave it like this. She had no hope and motivation to live.
"for you."
The expected bullet did not arrive, but Kelly smelled a very sweet smell. She slowly opened her eyes and found that the noble lady was holding a round piece of bread in front of her.
"What's wrong? Isn't the child hungry?" Natasha shook the bread in her hand and motioned for Kelly to take the bread from her hand.
When Kelly still didn't respond, Natasha stuffed the bread into her hand.
"Eat quickly. If it's not enough, tell me. I have some more here."
At this time, Kelly seemed to finally react. She kowtowed heavily to Natasha, thanking the noble lady in her heart for her kindness.
Then she quickly tore open the bread in her hand and stuffed it into her child's mouth.
Only then did Kelly realize that what the aristocratic lady gave her was actually a piece of white bread. Not to mention this child, even Kelly had never seen white bread, let alone eaten it.
So Kelly began to urge the child frantically to eat the white bread quickly.
But this poor child didn't know if he had been hungry for too long. He didn't even have the strength to chew bread.
"Eat quickly, kid, there is food. Eat it quickly!" Kelly anxiously urged her child to eat the food quickly, but the child really didn't have the strength to chew.
Seeing this scene, Natasha was also anxious. She couldn't imagine how long this child had been hungry.
At this time, Jack, who couldn't stand it anymore, came forward and took out a bottle of milk from Natasha's picnic basket.
He soaked the bread with milk and stuffed it into the child's mouth, and finally the child swallowed it successfully.
Seeing that the child was finally able to eat food, Kelly couldn't help but hug her child and kiss her again and again.
The child, who finally regained some strength after eating the food, immediately grabbed the bread in his mother's hand and stuffed it into his mouth hungrily.
"Here, be careful not to choke." Qiu Ke handed the bottle of milk to the child.
Of course, the child grabbed the milk without politeness and poured the whole bottle into his mouth. This was the first time for this child to drink milk. Of course, it might also be the last time. In this dark mining area, people were not even alive. There is a problem, no one can afford milk.
The child's mother, Kelly, knelt on the ground again to thank Jack and Natasha.
Seeing that the child was fine, Qiu Ke was about to get up again, when suddenly he felt something heavy behind his clothes.
Qiu Ke turned around and looked back. Oh, it turned out that his shirt was too long. When he was squatting on the ground to feed his child milk, his clothes were dragged to the ground and soaked by the sewage on the ground, so he felt a little heavy.
Jie Ke: Fortunately I'm wearing dark clothes.
"Your clothes are dirty." Luchino also noticed the abnormality of Qiu Ke. He stretched out his hand to help Qiu Ke carry the sewage and dust on his clothes.
But unfortunately, instead of helping Qiu Ke clean his clothes, his white gloves were stained.
Luchino slowly took off his gloves and threw them into the sewage nearby.
Sure enough, the moment the glove fell to the ground, a miner rushed out from beside him and picked up Luchino's glove.
Are you kidding? How could you not pick it up? The gloves of this aristocratic ghost have patterns sewn with gold threads, which are probably enough for him and his family to eat for a while.
When Kelly saw that Ji Ke's clothes were stained because of herself, she immediately knelt on the ground and apologized desperately. Because Qiu Ke's clothes looked very expensive, with patterns embroidered with gold threads and traces of decoration with various gemstones, he definitely couldn't afford to pay for it.
Of course, there is nothing to care about in Juke himself.
(Qiu Ke said, I have a lot of clothes like this.)
"I have a question to ask you. Do you know who can take us to find the 'fallen star'?" Jack took the opportunity to ask Kelly a question.
The term "falling star" is very familiar to these miners. A huge meteorite fell into an abandoned mining area a while ago. No one has tried to search for the meteorite, but everyone has failed. Returning, some people even lost their lives as a result, Kelly's husband Henry was one of them.
But in fact, Qiu Ke and the others knew that this so-called "falling star" was actually a meteor deliberately arranged by the manor owner. Before they left the manor, the manor owner told them that he dared to take them to find the "fallen star". People are the new "family" they are looking for.
Therefore, people like Kelly, who have lived in the mining area for a long time and are familiar with everyone in the mining area, can easily lead them to find their new "family".
But unexpectedly, when Kelly heard that they were going to find the "fallen star", she immediately yelled in fear.
"No, dear noble sir and madam, please don't look for the 'fallen star'. That thing is cursed by the devil. No matter who wants to look for it, they will pay with their lives in the end. The price." Kelly desperately wanted to warn them that the noble master and his wife were kind people, and Kelly did not want them to pay their lives for this.
"Thank you Kelly, but this is very important to us," Natasha said firmly to Kelly, and it was indeed important to them because it was about their new "family."
Hearing what Natasha said, Kelly really didn't know how to persuade them, so she had to take them to find the old miners who dared to enter the abandoned mining area, because Kelly knew that those old miners would definitely not do it either. Dare to look for the "fallen stars", so the noble lord and lady will definitely leave here in the end.
So, Kelly settled the child at home, and at the same time, Natasha kindly left some food for the child.
Kelly thanked Natasha again. The food was enough for their family to last for a long time.
So Kelly took the lead and took Luchino and the others to look for the old miners.
When these old miners first heard that they could get a bag of gold coins if they could help these noble gentlemen enter an abandoned mine tunnel, they all expressed their willingness to take these noble gentlemen in.
Are you kidding? That was a bag of gold coins, enough for them to eat, drink and have fun for a lifetime.
But when they heard that they were going to find "fallen stars", no one dared to take the business.
No one dares to wade into this muddy water. People in the mining area and those who don't know that looking for "fallen stars" will die. Even if this transaction can get them a bag of gold coins, they are afraid of making money with their lives. Damn it, who dares to take over this business?
Seeing that just as she expected, all the old miners were afraid to take over the business. Kelly felt relieved and wanted to say goodbye to the noble master and ladies. Her children were still at home.
Seeing that Kelly was going back early, Natasha took off a pair of her earrings and gave them to her as payment for taking them to the old miner.
After taking Natasha's earrings with both hands, Kelly bowed deeply to Natasha again. This pair of earrings was made of gold and diamonds, and the money from the sale was enough for her and her children to live for a long time.
Luchino looked at Kelly with cold eyes after taking Natasha's earrings and thanking her profusely. He couldn't help but silently mocked in his heart. Natasha had a cabinet of these earrings in the manor. After all, the owner of the manor never Not to be stingy with the demands of the "family", let alone ordinary gold and diamonds, the owner of the manor would always have inexhaustible supplies with a wave of his hand.
Of course, Luchino did not mean to despise Kelly. He despised everyone equally. In his eyes, except for him, the owner of the manor, and the "family" in the manor, everyone else was lost. Hairy ape.
After Kelly left, everyone continued to search among the miners. However, no matter which miner they met, as long as they heard that they were going to find the "fallen stars", they all said that no matter how high the price they offered, they would not go.
Natasha was obviously tired from walking, Qiu Ke felt that his throat was a little dry, and even Luchino felt a little weak.
Qiu Ke couldn't help but think of the meaningful smile of the manor owner before leaving the manor.
So Lord of the Manor, did you expect that this would be the case...
(Jiu Ke shouted silently in his heart.)
