I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Ordinary survivors who are not selected will not be driven away.

There is an open space farther away from the front and back doors of the manor, where they can go and build a shack for themselves.

The conditions are certainly not good, but here, at least no one dares to kill or rob people openly.

From time to time, there would be leftovers discarded by nobles to fill their stomachs.

If you are unlucky and don’t get any, you will need to go out to look for food.

These survivors who are struggling to survive outside the manor also form the first line of defense for the manor. If any Zerg find this place, they can not only serve as an early warning, but also act as cannon fodder to block one or two.

Here, life is fragile and cheap.

In the evening, as the sky gradually darkened, the shanty town outside Melde Manor.

A dark, skinny, bald boy, with his hands in the pockets of his large coat, walked hurriedly between the shacks.

Although the light was not good, the boy's action of protecting his coat still attracted everyone's attention.

It's just that the boy's image was too bad, and he didn't look like he could get anything good, which made those people hesitate whether it was worth it. After all, this is Meld Manor, and open robbery is apparently prohibited.

In just a blink of an eye, the boy was able to return to his shack.

The boy looked around quickly and went in swiftly.

Most eyes turned away, but a few people were still staring at the shack.

"Brother, you're finally back!" A girl's joyful voice was heard in the shack.

"Hush!" The boy bent over and shook out the things he had been carrying all the way, then turned around and carefully tidied up the door curtain of the shack.

It was pitch dark inside the shack.

The girl felt something was stuffed into her hand. Just as she was about to ask, she heard the boy say, "Hill, hurry up and eat this."

They were a few pieces of thick, hard bread.

"Great! Brother, you can eat too."

The girl cheered quietly and handed back half of the bread her brother had stuffed into her hand.

was rejected.

"Eat quickly! I ate before I came back! You eat quickly."

"Um····"

The boy nodded only after hearing the sound of his sister chewing slowly.

He began to pack their things. In the shack, besides a few pieces of clothing and a set of bedding, there were also some miscellaneous items.

Everything here was useful to the brother and sister, and the boy quickly packed them up and put them into two backpacks.

They got these two backpacks from a smashed store when they passed through the city.

"Cough, cough, cough... Brother, what are you doing? Why are you pretending?" The girl asked anxiously, but was choked by the dry bread. She choked and patted her chest.

These things are all used at any time, why does my brother put them away? How inconvenient!

"We need to leave. Eat something quickly and we'll leave when it's completely dark!"

The boy answered with his mouth, but his hands kept moving.

"Leave? Why?" The girl was surprised. It was not safe to go out after dark.

"Don't ask, just eat well!"

Seeing that her brother really had no intention of explaining to her, the girl stopped asking questions. It was her brother who made all the decisions during their escape, and she believed him.

The girl stepped back and sat down obediently to finish two thick pieces of bread. She took out a plastic bag and put the rest in it. Finally, she licked the crumbs off her fingers.

"elder brother····"

"Are you full? We may have to walk a long way soon..." The boy had packed his two backpacks, sat down next to his sister, and whispered.

They were about to leave, and he didn't dare let anyone hear such words.

Those who voluntarily lived here and enjoyed the protection of the nobles assumed that they were the property of the nobles.

Of course you can't just leave casually.

Although there were no guards sent by the nobles here, everyone in every shack here was a "guard."

But this time the boy was determined to take his sister away.

The brother and sister waited quietly for it to get darker, waiting for an opportunity.

At this time, a small banquet was being held at Melde Manor.

The hall of the main building was brightly lit, with fine wine, delicious food and beautiful women. The eldest son of the Meld family and several guests who were staying here were enjoying the banquet happily, and their lives did not seem to be affected.

These guests are not natives of Country Y. They are all wealthy businessmen who fled from nearby small countries. Although they do not have noble titles, each of them has a wealthy family.

Such a person came to Country Y, and Young Master Meld wanted to win him over.

Although he is the eldest son, his situation at home is not good. This time he came to this not-so-big manor and wanted to develop his own power during the chaotic times.

These businessmen had different reasons for entering the manor. Some wanted to make friends with him like the young master, while others were just passing by and staying there.

A tall and beautiful lady in a dress with exquisite makeup is the guest staying here. Her name is Kirs Eisen and she is from Country J.

Unlike the others who came in a mess, this Miss Qisi and even her convoy were very respectable.

She is also the one among these people that the eldest young master wants to make friends with the most.

The eldest young master has already arranged for someone to find an opportunity to explore the team's background. If he is sure that she is valuable enough, he is not unable to give her a stable life.

"Miss Qisi, are you satisfied with my drinks?" The eldest young master walked to Qisi with a wine glass in hand, facing her with what he thought was the best side, tilted his head slightly and asked with a smile.

"Of course." She smiled politely, but her eyes were calm.

"I heard that there was a guest from Xia Country in Miss Qisi's motorcade. Why didn't she invite him to join her?" The eldest young master asked curiously.

Qisi's smile paused, and she casually explained, "He was feeling unwell on the road before, so he needs to rest more."

"Oh? Do you need my doctor to check it out?" The eldest young master raised his eyebrows.

"Thank you for your kindness, but that's not necessary. It's just a small matter."

The young master now felt Qisi's defensiveness and alienation. He sneered in his heart, acted like a gentleman, and said, "Well, I hope Miss Qisi will have a good night."

"Thank you."

The two men each had their own thoughts. They raised their glasses to each other and drank the red wine in the glasses.

In the guest room upstairs.

A man with clumsy hands was fiddling with a tablet. The face printed on the tablet belonged to Tao Jibang...

Tao Jibang used his wrist, which had just recovered, to click on the first video file in a folder.

The video played, which showed a clip of Su Mo killing insects in Xia Country.

Tao Jibang's eyes were dim. He remembered those eyes.

Although there was only a dim bedside lamp that night, the excruciating pain made him remember those eyes deeply.

It’s Su Mo, his daughter.

She had crushed his bones! He didn't even know why.

According to the information Tao Jibang had at the time, Su Wen had just died and Su Mo had no idea who his father was, let alone his relationship with him.

But it happened.

He was the only one who got into trouble in the entire manor that night. Su Mo destroyed his hands and took away his belongings. Tao Jibang was almost certain that she was going after him!

She certainly didn't expect that I recognized her at first sight, right?

When Tao Jibang thinks of the look Su Mo gave him now, he still feels a chill down his spine. He just can't figure out what kind of deep hatred exists between him and his daughter, whom he has never met.

He once suspected that he might have seen it wrong or remembered it wrongly in panic. After all, that place was Country J. How could Su Mo, an ordinary student from Country Xia, go there on purpose to harm him?

Even if she is awakened, she can't do that.

But now, after he watched the video material, he was sure.

Su Mo could definitely do it, and she did it on purpose.

Tao Jibang felt the dense and tiny pain in his wrist again. He squinted his eyes, turned off the video, and clicked on some news screenshots in the folder.

That is some investigation and introduction about the Psychic Academy...

"Hubby, you should rest."

Tao Jibang was watching intently when a woman pushed the door open.

If Su Mo were here, she would definitely be surprised.

The woman who called Tao Jibang "husband" was actually her missing classmate Yang Xiaoxue! ?

Yang Xiaoxue walked over with a glass of milk in her hand and handed it to Tao Jibang.

But Tao Jibang didn't move or respond to her.

Yang Xiaoxue was not embarrassed and just kept her arm hanging and delivering the cup until Tao Jibang finished looking at all the screenshots and reached out to take the cup.

"Tell me more about Su Mo's situation." Tao Jibang said.

The corners of Yang Xiaoxue's mouth twitched. She and Su Mo had only been classmates for one year and were not very familiar with each other. She told him everything she knew about Su Mo over and over again.

Ask her to repeat it.

But if Tao Jibang asked her to speak, she had to speak.

Yang Xiaoxue suppressed her dissatisfaction and began her narration for the Nth time.

At the same time, it was completely dark outside the window.

It was already pitch dark here in the shantytown.

The light leaking from the Melder Manor a little further away could not reach this corner of the shantytown.

It just happened to be convenient for what the brother and sister were going to do.

Each of them put on their backpacks, and the boy took his sister and walked out of the shack quietly.

"Mi Rui? Where are you going?" It was A's voice from the shack next door.

The two shacks were not far from each other, and he must have heard the noise, so he slightly lifted a corner of the tarpaulin and asked.

Both brother and sister froze for a moment.

"Hill wants to go to the bathroom, I have to accompany her, you know it's not safe at night..."

"Oh? Do you need me to come with you?" The ambiguous meaning in Ake's voice did not escape Mirui's ears.

"No need, we can handle it nearby!" Mi Rui refused with anger, pulled her sister and left quickly.

Leave behind Ak's words "What an ungrateful little bastard".

Mi Rui held her sister's hand tightly and gritted her teeth.

The brother and sister moved quickly and lightly through the slum area, and no accidents happened afterwards.

After walking out of the shack area, Miri's pace became faster and faster, even jogging. Hill was pulled by his brother and could hardly keep up.

But she said nothing, and insisted on moving her legs and trying to keep up.

Only after running a long distance did Mi Rui slow down his pace.

Hill felt like she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She now knew why her brother had just told her to eat enough.

so tired!

They came to a low slope, and there was nothing else around except the rustling of leaves in the wind.

The lights of Meld Manor receded behind them until they disappeared.

Hill walked slowly for a while before he recovered.

"Brother, where are we going?"

"I don't know, but we can't stay there anyway." Mi Rui said without turning his head, trying to identify the road ahead.

"Brother, did something happen to you when you went out during the day?" Hill asked him worriedly.

Mi Rui was silent for a moment, but decided to tell the truth to her sister.

"We have been taken to the city to look for supplies these days. There are strange monsters there. The place where the monsters appear is not far from Melde Manor. There are so many people in the manor, so the monsters are likely to go there."

They had all seen those green monsters before, and had seen them kill and eat people, so Mi Rui certainly knew how powerful they were.

"Brother! How are you? Are you okay!?"

Hill didn't care at all why his brother didn't notify the manor or call others to leave after knowing the news.

She exclaimed and ran forward to check on Mi Rui's condition, worried that her brother might be injured. That was a monster!

Really, she was really scared to death!

"I'm fine. I hid so well at that time that the monster didn't find me! Don't forget, I'm an awakened brother!" Mi Rui puffed out his skinny chest and spoke shamelessly to his sister.

They only learned about the term "awakened" when they first went to Meld Manor to register their information and heard people around them talking about it.

Mi Rui still had a feeling about his own changes. Although no one had taught him, by comparing his feelings with the details discussed by others, it was not difficult for him to know that he, Mi Rui, was also one of the awakened ones.

But when the servants of the manor asked whether the brothers and sisters were awakened, Mi Rui decisively denied it.

While queuing, he saw the awakened ones being brought in. They were told that they had joined the manor guard team and that they would not have to worry about food and drink every day and that they only needed to train.

There is no such good thing in the world.

Mi Rui knew that if he joined the guard team, Hill would definitely not be able to leave, and she would definitely be arranged to be a maid.

Mi Rui didn't want to. She didn't want to be separated from her sister, nor did she want her sister to become a maid.

There's nothing wrong with not entering the manor, it's better for them to live in a shack!

At least now, he could take his sister away immediately if he discovered danger.

Mi Rui was very satisfied that after he told his sister the truth, his sister only cared about whether he was hurt and didn't think about anything else.

The worry in my heart was finally put down.

He and his sister are just insignificant people.

But I can't be a hero who saves others.

If he reported the news about the monster today, regardless of whether the people above would believe his one-sided story, it would be impossible for them to leave tonight.

He didn't want to be a cannon fodder sent out to die by the nobles. He just wanted to live with his sister, even if it was only for one more day.

"Come on, come on, brother, let's leave quickly, we have to go far away!" It was Hill's urging voice.

Mi Rui was immersed in her own thoughts and her steps slowed down involuntarily, but she was pushed by her sister.

Hill was still worried and scared. As soon as she thought that the monster might be coming this way, her legs, which had felt a little sore just now, seemed to be healed.

She can still walk another ten kilometers!

Mi Rui grinned and comforted her, "Okay, okay, but don't worry, the monster is not here. We can go this way and hide in the town of xx first."

"Okay! Let's go quickly and get there."

Mi Rui smiled helplessly and said no more. The brother and sister walked farther and farther away in the moonlight.
