Magical Strategist

Chapter 378 The downtrodden siblings

When I saw the portrait on the bulletin board, I couldn't help but snicker secretly, thinking: If you want to catch me with this portrait, don't even think about it!

"Wow, what a cool look. He looks just like the knight-errant in the novel. I really admire him!" At this time, the little boy standing next to the real dragon sighed with emotion. I saw that his little face was covered with dust, his clothes were in tatters, and even his shoes were full of patches.

"What nonsense? What's there to admire about a thief?" said the woman behind the little boy. Her situation was no better than that of the little boy. She wore a patched linen coat and was in poverty.

"Sister, when I grow up, I will become as strong as the flames, so that you will no longer be bullied by those bad guys." The boy clenched his little fists and vowed.

"Okay, come on!" The woman gently stroked the boy's head and said softly.

"Sister...I'm so hungry..." The boy touched his belly and said with aggrieved face.

The woman looked helpless. She put her hand into her trouser pocket, carefully took out a piece of cake, and carefully broke off half of it and stuffed it into the boy's mouth. The boy was very sensible. He didn't eat in a hurry. Instead, he divided half of the cake into two portions, handed one of the pieces to his sister, and said with a smile: "Sister, you can eat it too."

At this time, two middle-aged women not far away happened to be talking about the siblings.

"Hey, the two siblings are so pitiful. Their parents are dead, but the bearded man who adopted them is a gambling bastard who ran away after getting into a lot of debt."

"No, now those who want debts are looking for the two siblings. They chase them for money every day, and even beat them if they don't give them money. The older sister has no choice but to work around to make money."

"By the way, I heard that your husband has made a lot of money from his business. It would be a good idea for you to help them."

"What should I do? You don't know who the creditor is. I don't want to get burned."

"Hey, poor children, especially that girl, so cute and cute but... oh..."

The real dragon's hearing is very sensitive, and he heard every word spoken by the two women. He lowered his head, looked at the boy, then took out a gold coin from his pocket and put it into the boy's hand. "Little brother, this piece of cake is moldy. If you eat it, you will have diarrhea."

The boy hesitated for a moment. He was confused whether he should accept the gold coin or not. After a fierce ideological struggle, the boy accepted.

"Xiaohu, don't just take other people's things. Return them to big brother quickly." The woman scolded.

"Yes!" The boy named Xiaohu was a little reluctant, but he still obeyed.

The woman forced an awkward smile and said, "Sir, I really appreciate your kindness, but we can't accept the money."

The real dragon shook his head and said: "No matter what, only when you are full can you have the strength to work. Take it."

"No, no, really no!" the woman declined.

The poor are not allowed to eat, she is really a strong woman. Zhenlong thought for a while and then said: "You are an adult. It's okay to be hungry for one or two meals, but your brother is still young. Let's do it this way. I lent the money to you, and you will pay me back when you make money. , is it possible?”

The woman was shaken, thinking that the kind-hearted magician was right. Xiaohu was her only relative, and if something went wrong due to hunger, the gain would outweigh the loss. Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and slowly stretched out her hand...

The real dragon was not happy at all when he saw the woman squirming, and finally forced it into the woman's hand. When he touched the woman's palm, he was completely stunned: it was scarred and full of calluses, these were not the hands of a sister!

The woman looked embarrassed. She lowered her head and asked softly: "When I make money, I will pay you back double, for sure!"

"Okay." With that said, the real dragon took a step forward and stood up to leave.

"Sir, what's your name?" the woman raised her head and asked.

The real dragon did not rush to answer, but just smiled slightly, then pouted at the flame portrait on the bulletin board, and finally left in a swaggering manner.

The woman was a little confused. When she turned around and saw everything, she understood everything. She couldn't hold back her excitement and shouted: "You are Lie..." The word "flame" did not come out of her throat. She knew that if she did, it would definitely hurt her. Real dragon.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Who was that big brother just now?" Xiaohu asked.

"He is...is...is Lie..."

"Brother Lie?"

"Well, brother lie."

"Sister, I want to eat barbecue, I want to eat steak, I want to eat many, many things!" Xiaohu drooled.

Whoosh!

Just as the siblings were fantasizing about what to eat, several tall figures stood straight in front of them.

With the appearance of several big men, the crowded crowd dispersed. The townspeople seemed to be afraid of these people.

"So you are hiding here." A tall and sturdy man yelled.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the woman pulled Xiaohu behind her and used her weaker body to protect her brother. "What do you want to do!"

"I asked knowingly, of course I want money." The big man replied.

"I don't have that much money right now, can you give me a few more days?" the woman begged.

"Today will drag on tomorrow, and tomorrow will drag on the day after tomorrow. When will you pay back the 100 gold coins? Hand over the money now, immediately!" The big man's tone was aggressive and not negotiable.

"But the adoptive father only owed you 10 gold coins at that time, why 100 gold coins?" the woman asked.

"Ten years ago, Big Beard borrowed 10 gold coins from my bank. Now the total including principal and interest is 100 gold coins. Stop talking nonsense, do you want to pay it back or not?" the big man asked.

"I, I really have no money now..." the woman said aggrievedly.

"Does that mean you won't pay back? Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Our village owner said that if you don't have money, you can use your body as collateral. Brothers, tie this bitch back." The big man yelled.

"You guys, don't come here, don't! Don't!" the woman shouted heartbreakingly, knowing that if she was taken away like this, she would never come out again. The owner of the bank was a womanizer, and many women suffered disaster at his hands.

When his sister was caught, Xiaohu gritted his teeth and rushed over to rescue his sister. "I'll fight you!"

"Where did you come from, you little bastard, get out!" The big man raised his foot and kicked him. Kicked the little tiger all the way. "You little bastard, do you believe that I will kill you if you don't understand?"

Xiaohu's heart hurt so much after being kicked that he was so thin that he lay limply on the ground and could no longer stand up. I could only cry and watch blankly as my sister was taken away. His small fists were clenched tightly, and his innocent eyes were filled with anger. He wanted to kill these beasts. But, what can he do now? He endured the pain in his chest and stood up with great difficulty. "I must save my sister..."
