Poverty Alleviation Princess

"...I had a bad dream."

Because it is a long-lost dream of familiar people, so it is not a nightmare.But recalling the content, Ah Yuan really couldn't say "yes".

And it's amazing that the content of the dream just now didn't disappear with her waking up, but was clearly remembered in her mind.

It was as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes.

And why not something else—such as a natural or man-made disaster, or an accident or something.

But Madara and Hashirama-san fighting?

This made her have to wonder again if the system had done something weird to turn her dream into a nightmare.

Hearing that it was just a dream, Arnold lost interest.He continued to look away from the window.

Even though it was night, the road leading to the venue was still brightly lit, and the two rows of street lights clearly reflected the road, so those people who were hiding in the middle of the buildings and in the alleys with numb eyes were also exposed.

This is undoubtedly an era of rapid development, but for many people, it is not a 'good era'.

But despite this, the times still move on.It will not change because of personal judgment.

By the time they arrived at the venue, it was completely dark.It was supposed to be a quiet time, but the building where the banquet was held was brightly lit and full of voices.

Countless gentlemen and ladies circled among them.

Industrialists and bankers are looking for new and more opportunities, while courtesans and gentlemen are looking for suitable targets.

Everyone has their own minds.

Of course, there are also those like A Yuan who have to make up the number due to various reasons, but they are only a very small part.They also intentionally lowered their sense of existence, and when they met each other occasionally, they just looked at each other and smiled clearly, and then they each backed away.

"Is Cain all right?"

Seeing A Yuan, Cain's official guardian hurried over.As he asked, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It's almost a reflex.

As soon as Cain was mentioned, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, for fear that he would do some unimaginable 'feat' again.

"……pretty good."

A Yuan originally wanted to tell Uncle Neil about Cain's recent daring and running around, but seeing his reaction, he finally kept his mouth shut.This inarticulate and worrying middle-aged man is already showing signs of receding hairline.Don't let him worry about it anymore.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Sure enough, upon hearing what A Yuan said, Neil immediately seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his whole body felt a little relieved.

"Have fun, and meet some friends when you have time."

Neil Harris nodded at her.

At the end, he thought he was playful and winked at A Yuan. "If there are friends who feel good, we can also make an appointment to go horse riding or watch an opera together in the future."

It's a pity that such behavior is done by a middle-aged man whose hairline has started to recede. It's really not cute.

"Is that your uncle?"

After Neil Harris turned to leave, a strange voice sounded from behind.A Yuan looked over and saw a girl with heavy make-up that didn't match her age standing behind her.

She has a good figure, and the low-cut waist dress shows all her advantages.

"Yes."

A Yuan nodded, and did not despise the other party because of his undignified attire.

"...does he have a wife? I mean, I don't think I've ever seen Mr. Harris bring his wife to a party."

The girl spoke abruptly.

"...I don't know much about that either."

A Yuan didn't answer directly, she looked at the girl and blinked.

The girl who came up suddenly: "..."

"Then if you have any news, please let me know."

After speaking, she picked up a glass of champagne and turned to leave.

"By the way." Halfway through, she suddenly turned her head to look at A Yuan, "If you don't have any strange interests, don't go upstairs."

After speaking, he left in a hurry with his glass of wine.

It really comes and goes in a hurry.

A Yuan blinked and stopped looking at her.

But, go upstairs...

She looked towards the huge staircase facing the door.The smooth marble stairs are covered with a flawless red carpet, and the rooms on the second floor are located up the stairs.

In addition to providing a lounge for those who are temporarily uncomfortable, it will also be a place for 'those things'.

Saying "those things" is actually some kind of routine operation that will not be mentioned in this era.

When A Yuan was in class, some teachers mentioned it cryptically.

But she herself is not interested, but she specifically mentioned...

Is there anything else, something unknown?

Andy was walking alone on the river bank with a bruise on his face - he was beaten by adults after he reported that he failed to kidnap the 'Fat Sheep'.

Because there is no need for him to contact the fat sheep.So this time they acted extraordinarily ruthlessly.

No matter inside or outside the clothes, there are blue and purple scars.He didn't want to worry his younger brothers and sisters, so he ran out alone.

Meeting Cain was an accident.

He never thought that he would one day be friends with a 'young master'.He admitted that he did have bad ideas at first.

What if the other party can take him home and make him a servant?

Although the job of being a servant is not easy, it is better than it is now.At least you don't have to worry about being beaten and kicked by the adults when you go back, you can eat, and you can get your salary-in that case, the younger brothers and sisters won't be hungry every day.

So at the beginning, he was trying to please him, but then they went to the river to catch fish together, were chased by furious adults together, and together relied on their own strength to get money to buy bread for their younger brothers and sisters.

This thought disappeared unconsciously.

Cain is a 'friend'.A 'friend' who can free him from stress and fear.He worked hard to learn words and knowledge from Cain, and then earned money by shining shoes for people and running errands for people.Although it was small, it made him extremely at ease and at ease.

He even felt that if he could continue like this, the future would not be as scary as in his dream.

But all this is shattered when the grown-ups discover his friendship with Cain.

The adults found out that Cain was a child of a rich family and asked him to bring Cain back to demand a ransom from Cain's family.

— They can't just ask for a ransom.

Andy knew it all too well.

even……

The moment the ransom is paid is when they tear up the ticket.

He didn't dare to gamble on this possibility, so he forced Cain to leave with vicious words.Seeing the back of the boy running away, he knew very well in his heart: that pretty friend with an angel-like face would never come here again.

"are you OK?"

Just as Andy was walking numbly, a clean handkerchief was placed in front of him.He looked up the hand holding the handkerchief, and for a moment thought he saw the sun.

When I came back to my senses, I realized that it was just the young man's blond hair illuminated by the light.

The fine and fluffy blonde hair is like the sun's rays.

"Wipe it off."

He held up the handkerchief and passed it forward.

Andy froze for a moment, and then noticed that tears had covered his face at some point.

"No...thank you, but no need." He raised his hand and was about to wipe it with his sleeve, "It will stain your handkerchief."

"Handkerchiefs are just for use, so why worry about getting dirty?"

The blond youth smiled, and stuffed the handkerchief into the boy's hand.

Then he sat on the ground by the river bank indifferently, not caring at all whether his clothes would get dirty.Then he patted the ground next to him and motioned for Andy to sit down too.

"London's moon looks no different." He looked at the dim moon in the sky and said with emotion.

"Are you from out of town?"

Andy asked carefully.

"Yes, they come from far away." The young man didn't mean to hide his origin, "It's not as prosperous as London."

"Is London... prosperous?"

"Yes. It's a bustling metropolis." The young man nodded, "It would be great if my hometown could be like London one day."

Stay away from war, stay away from riots.

People don't have to live in fear...

That would be great.

"But I don't think so." Maybe it's the kindness of the young man that made his heart warm, maybe it's because the moonlight is too gentle tonight... Andy didn't know why, so he told all about himself.

From the not rich but warm life when the parents were still there, to the pain of living in this neighborhood with children younger than myself after both parents passed away, to having to break with him in order to protect a friend...

That's all it said.

He was a little dazed, but more carefree.

It's as if he's been waiting for this moment for a long time—or, in fact, he's been looking forward to the day when he'll be able to speak out about the things that have been pent up in his heart.

The young man did not speak, but just listened quietly.

It wasn't until Andy stopped talking that he spoke softly:

"you're good."

"No, I'm not good at all. If I were really good, everyone wouldn't have to go hungry, and I wouldn't have to hurt my friends."

Andy lowered his head.

"However, you can work hard for the younger children and resist for the sake of your friends. It's a great act." The eyes of the blond young man are full of seriousness. Seeing him like this, Andy begins to believe that he is really Did great things.

"You are more powerful than you think."

"Well, that, are you here in London for business? If it's something about this neighborhood, I, I might be able to help you..."

Andy didn't know how to express his feelings at this time, so he could only muster up the courage to recommend himself.

"I'm looking for something."

The blond-haired youth didn't make it easy just because he was a child, but at this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from behind.

"We should go, Giotto."

The two turned around and saw a man with short red hair and a flame-like tattoo on his squad leader's face standing under the street lamp.He looked at this expressionlessly.

The blond young man beside Andy got up to leave, and hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

The blond youth stopped in his tracks and turned his head:

"It's a box."

"An antique wooden box that has aged."

"I see. Then, I will tell you when I have news... Or you can go to find me under the bridge. Even if I was not there at the time, other children will tell you if there is news."

"Thank you then."

The blond young man smiled.

"We're staying in that hotel. If you have any news, you can come to me directly here—I'll treat you to dinner."

After the young man like the sun left, Andy still deeply remembers his smile.

He trotted all the way to the direction of the bridge.

He wants to go to bed early.

Get up early tomorrow so that you can help him inquire about the news.

He will repay this kind gentleman.

The boy was full of expectations, but he couldn't help shivering when he saw the adults at the door.

"The brat is finally back."

The leading man with a scar face swept over him with critical eyes, as if he was weighing the meat on the chopping board.

"It's not bad, take it away."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong man walked out behind him and grabbed Andy.Just as Andy wanted to resist, he lost consciousness in a burst of pain.

"You let the fat sheep go, then you can compensate us for the loss yourself."

The author has something to say: Giotto, the warm man in the healing department, is about to join forces with Atu Shengli (?) They are here to find the box.

Although Ah Tu didn't want such a meeting at all.

Ah - my orchard economy is finally about to start. (Rubbing hands, should I buy a canned orange first to collect materials)

Ah Tu's dream is indeed the development of other worlds, but it is not entirely a dream. (Did I spoil something)
