Chapter 95

Miller is a small worker in Otis city. As a genuine king, Miller has been busy for so many years and married a good-looking wife. A few years ago, he also had a pair of lovely children.

From this point of view, Miller is the group of Charlottes who have a better life.

However, Miller did not think so at this time.

After sucking a cold blue nose, Miller and a group of Charlotte civilians who are also civilian working class gathered at the market gate of Otis city.

They all came to receive relief food. Otis city has been surrounded for nearly a month. Without the input of external resources, many people in the city have starved to death. If the nobles had not been merciful and helped some of the Charlotte civilians who could not live every day, Otis city would have been in chaos.

I don't know how long I waited, a huge stone door in the market slowly opened, and a group of Charlotte civilians saw it, and the tide surged in the past.

"Spread out! Spread out!" A whole group of shirlow soldiers with big arms and round waist waved long guns to drive away the excited civilians.

There are only one squadron of Charlotte soldiers. There are at least thousands of civilians here. How can they be suppressed.

The civilians in Charlotte were so hungry that they didn't care whether the weapons on these soldiers were sharp or not.

When the stone gate was only half opened, it was blocked by the excited Charlotte civilians.

"Stop!" Finally, a big drink full of Qi came. With the use of fighting spirit, the sound came, which made many nearby Charlotte civilians cover their ears in pain, and a light red blood flow out of their ears.

This is at least a high-level Knight attendant. From his perfect control of fighting spirit, it can be seen that he is also the best of the high-level attendants.

The excited civilians in front were blocked, but countless people then crowded in behind. The scene was still chaotic.

It was not until the leading high-ranking Knight's attendants chopped down several Charlotte civilians who jumped the most fiercely with a long sword that the chaotic situation was restrained.

The civilians who had been hungry all day were finally calmed down by blood and knife light.

The leading Charlotte high-ranking attendant stared coldly at the civilians in front of him. All Charlotte civilians who looked at him lowered their heads. They had no doubt that what was hidden under the armor was a murderous devil.

The stone gate was fully opened, and a team of horses more than 10 meters long was exposed. Behind each horse, a flat wooden cart was pulled, on which half a person high potatoes and rice potatoes were stacked.

Every Charlotte civilian who saw food licked his lips and swallowed dry spit involuntarily.

Distribute food in an orderly manner. Every civilian under control dare not be presumptuous again.

If you look down from above, there are six such scenes in the city of Otis of Notre Dame!

Miller is lucky and clever. He is in the middle of the line here.

There was less and less food on the board of the carriage ahead, and Miller's heart became more and more anxious.

Finally, it's his turn. The horse team is more than ten meters long. At this time, there are less than two boards for food.

At this time, a man in front of him was praying to the soldiers distributing food, "please, give me another piece. I still have a six-year-old child to support."

The man looks very old, and his voice has a dull voice unique to northerners.

The soldier who gave him food was a young man with a pale face. When a man much older than himself prayed, the young man looked embarrassed.

This should be a recruit. Miller guessed in his heart that those veterans would not be polite to them. They had already kicked over.

"Love or not, where can there be so much nonsense!" Sure enough, when the young soldier raised money, it looked like a sergeant of his team leader pulled over a potato in the hands of civilians and threw it out.

With the trajectory of potatoes flying out, followed by the greedy eyes of a group of Charlotte civilians.

The man in front of Miller didn't care to ask for food. He went after the potato. This is the food that he and his son saved lives today. If he lost it, he could only starve

When it was Miller's turn, he would not have the naive illusion like the man before. He just politely said "a potato, thank you" to the soldiers who gave him food

Whether it was the pure King Charlotte's accent or his friendly attitude, the soldier who distributed food to him had a good first impression of him, so he got a slightly larger piece than other potatoes.

With the potatoes in his hand, Miller didn't stop here and left in a hurry.

There is not much food on the board, but there are still half of the people here. There will be chaos later.

After a while, just as Miller was not 200 meters away, there was a sound of noise and soldiers shouting and scolding, accompanied by the tragic cry of wooden car crashing and people being injured.

Miller quickened his pace and left the land of right and wrong.

The advantage of Wang Du's people was reflected at this time. He walked around the city three times and five times. Miller got rid of those who might follow him. He was so hungry that there were only two skins on his chest.

Go to the place where you live, the southwest corner of the King City, where there are large rows of low houses, most of which are native to Otis city.

Because compared with other places, it is closer to the Charlotte palace. Most people really have no way to get a house here.

Miller stared with alert eyes at the group of people lying dead in twos and threes in front of the row of dwarfs. It was not all his neighborhood because of the decline of the Charlotte war.

In many occupied areas, a large number of nobles and civilians poured into Otis in front of the fortress besieged by the forstans. Otis City, which originally had 120000 residents, now has 150000 people piled up here.

This is still the case when a large number of civilians in the city starve to death every day.

Miller's neighbor, a good man in his forties, has never married in his life. He adopted a refugee child some days ago. As a result, he was robbed by the refugees who fled with the child.

Not only the food was robbed, but even he himself was beaten and thrown out. As for the child he adopted, he had long been driven away by the scum together with him. Now they are still picking up food in the city.

If Miller had not been hostile to these outsiders together with his old neighbors who had lived together for many years, I'm afraid they would have been determined.

But the good scenery is not long. There are more and more foreign refugees here. These people are hungry every day and can't do anything. They just lie there "lying corpses" and stare at passers-by with prominent eyes. It's chilling.

Miller has seen so much that he is not afraid of them and does not want to provoke them. He hid the food he had just received and walked past the refugees lying on the ground.

Even accidentally stepped on some unlucky guy, leaving a miserable cry on the road.

In front of a white yellow wooden door, Miller knocked on the wooden board blocked in the window. After a while, a smart little face appeared, and Miller's stretched face finally relaxed.

"Bob, open the door!" Miller smiled and said to the child in the door.

A small house of 40 square meters, with only a small kitchen and a bedroom. The Miller family of four are crowded in this small house.

Miller put the potatoes he had received in a wooden bowl in the kitchen. His children flashed big eyes and leaned on Miller's sides. They knew that this was their food today. Two little guys greedy for water all over the ground.

After a while, Miller's wife came back. She was not much worse than Miller. Betty, Miller's wife.

Betty doesn't have the charm of a southern woman. When they first met, Miller took a fancy to Betty, who is cheerful and doesn't do much worse than men. She came to Wangdu to work.

Finally, Miller stood out among Betty's suitors with his identity as a city man in Otis and the advantage of having a city house.

Betty gave birth to a son six years ago and a daughter four years ago. The family should have lived happily all their life, but the truth is......

Betty, who had just returned home, took off her coat and took out a palm sized potato. There was only one coat at home. Miller didn't wear it and left it to his wife. He was frozen before.

"I was lucky today. I grabbed a potato." Betty spoke with ease. Years of hard life and hardships in recent years have left Betty, who was also a beauty when she was young, with only deep wrinkles and dry hands.

Betty is very thin, which is caused by malnutrition. She can't see that she is the mother of two children.

Just as Miller received relief food at the market, Betty received it at another place. In order to prevent chaos, the nobles distributed food separately to men and women.

Don't think Betty's side is full of women. It's much better than Miller's side. On the contrary, it's more crazy because it's a woman.

Charlotte's soldiers can fight against civilian or refugee men such as Miller, but they rarely fight against women. Soldiers also have conscience. They can't beat the forstans in the front line. They have no face to attack their own women. No matter how cold-blooded he is.

It is precisely because of this that the side where women receive relief food is even more chaotic. A group of women went up to grab food. It's good that the soldiers can maintain order.

Betty also took advantage of her height and strength to grab a potato this time. The price is that there are several more scratches and bruises on the arm. Those women are no worse than men.

"It seems that you can eat more today." Miller smiled. He was busy looking for Betty's medicinal wine. It's been a mess outside recently. They always keep medicine and wine in their house.

Betty began to prepare their dinner, simply stewing mashed potatoes, sprinkled with a little salt and broken wild vegetables, which is the supreme delicacy of civilians.

Feeling on her arm, her husband carefully wiped the medicinal wine on the wound, and Betty's heart was quiet.

Although she didn't enjoy much happiness with this man, the world was like this. Betty didn't complain at all. She was a cheerful person, but she was overwhelmed by reality.

After dinner, the family lay on a wooden bed. Miller and Betty protected the two children to sleep in the middle. The scarcity of food made the family dare not waste any energy. In addition to going out to get food, they slept with their children at home.
