"No! Absolutely impossible! I can never give you Jessica! " Rebecca, a little alarmed, takes Jessica back two steps, leans against the wall, shoves Jessica behind her, and looks at wark decidedly.
Over the years, she has heard many rumors about wark. She does not know how many women have fallen into his hands in the miner's family area. No one has a good end, even the little girl.
Just a while ago, a child under 12 years old was pregnant with his child, but he kicked her in the stomach when she was drunk and killed her. That girl was taken by his gambler father to pay for it. You are just a child! If let Jessica fall in his hand, she can't imagine what will happen, then she would rather take Jessica to die!
The younger brother standing behind Walker laughed and looked at Rebecca's mother and daughter with unbridled eyes. Such a couple of orphans and widows are the best ones to bully, especially those who are somewhat beautiful. If the boss doesn't look up to them, they may be able to be cheap. This kind of thing has happened before.
Not far away, there are also some people standing at the door of the black bungalow looking towards this side, but their faces look a little numb, just staring at, no anger, no excitement, no expression.
The black gravel paved path was full of potholes. There was a rain the day before yesterday, and some of the potholes still had black water. They were integrated with the surrounding black bungalows, just like a mine standing on the ground.
……
"Xiaomi, are you sure it's this alley?" MEG pushed the bike and looked back at Amy in the back seat.
"Well, father, this time I'm really sure Jessica's house is in this alley." Amy nodded seriously.
"Well, let's go and have a look." MEG nodded with a smile. Although he wanted to make complaints about the three time before Amy, he said so, but after all, he was his own fairy. What can he do? He had to push his bicycle forward and avoid small puddles.
I'm used to seeing the prosperous streets around Aden square, but I still don't quite adapt to the scene of this slum. Even in the chaotic city, there are still many people living in poverty and hardship.
……
"It's not up to you to pay your debts. It's written in the law of the city of chaos. If you can't pay your debts, I can pay your debts with your things. I don't like the things in your broken house. This little girl looks a little valuable." Wark shook his head, looked at Jessica and said with a smile, "do you know how much you owe me? I'm good at everything, but I'm too kind. After all, I'm a noble second-class knight. I pity you. That's why I put forward such a request to you. Otherwise, even you have to be mine. "
"My husband died in a mine accident the year before last, and I borrowed 20 gold coins from you to bury him..." Rebecca clenched her fist, trying to endure her grief and anger.
"Twenty gold coins? Oh, two years have passed. You owe me a total of 500 gold coins, but the change has been removed. Do you think your daughter is worth the price? Am I too kind to you? " Wark said with a cold smile.
"Yes, Lord wark is the kindest man in the world!"
"Only adults can be so generous. If it's me, I'll have to have both mother and daughter."
The boys were angry. The rude laughter sounded very harsh.
The smile on Walker's face became more and more bright. He seemed to be very helpful to these compliments. He watched Rebecca waiting for her answer.
"How... How could it be 500 gold coins!" Rebecca looked at wark in disbelief, shook her head and said, "it's impossible. I only borrowed 20 gold coins from you. How can it become 500 gold coins? You can't talk nonsense like this. I'll go to the Lord's mansion to sue you!"
"This is the IOU you signed in those years. It says in black and white that the monthly interest is half. Now, it has more than 500 gold coins. Even if you sue the Lord's mansion, I will win. Then the Lord's mansion will help me to force you to pay back the money and let you give your daughter to me to pay off the debt." Wark shook off the IOU in his hand and said with a smile. The younger brothers also laughed.
Rebecca looked at the IOU in Walker's hand and the harsh smile of those people. She felt that the whole day seemed to fall down. Her ears were full of loud and harsh laughter, like tearing her eardrum. Subconsciously, she hid Jessica behind her.
Jessica looked up at the completely flustered Rebecca. Her face was scared, but she didn't cry. She held her mother's hand tightly and wanted to give her some warmth and support.
Rebecca was stunned for a moment. She looked down at Jessica and held her hand tightly, like the last straw. She looked at wark and said, "Lord wark, please give me a little more time. Lord Woodrow said that my husband's pension and these years' alimony will be paid soon, There must be more than 500 gold coins. I'll give them back to you. Please let us go. Let Jessica go. She's just a child, a five-year-old. "
"You are so simple." Wark shrugged his shoulders with a smile, thinking that Rebecca had taken two steps closer. He leaned over her head and lowered his voice in her ear. "Lord Woodrow is my uncle. He told me that the absenteeism pension for those who died in the mine accident that year had already been paid, as well as the compensation and funeral expenses. However, if you don't have your share, you will die, You'll never be able to wait for your husband's share of the money. Because that money doesn't belong to you cheap black mice. I'll enjoy your daughter. If she can live a few more years, maybe she can have a baby
"How can it be like this..." Rebecca's pupils gradually dilated. Looking at the ferocious smiling face in front of her, she was a bit morbid. Her face was getting paler and paler, and her strength seemed to be pulled out all at once. She could no longer support her body. She sat on the ground against the wall, and even her soul seemed to disappear.
"I heard that a few days ago you went to buy medicine with a dragon coin. You had money to see a doctor, but you didn't have money to pay me back. That's wrong. Today, except for this little girl, the rest of the money will be used as interest." With a wave of Walker's hand, the two men came up to search Rebecca.
"Don't bully my mother! You bad guys! If my father is still here, one punch will blow you away! " Jessica rushes out from behind and stands in front of Rebecca with open hands.
"You let that short-lived ghost climb out of the coffin and hit us."
The crowd burst into laughter. One of them tore off Rebecca's purse. The purse was torn. With a clanging sound, a handful of gold, silver and copper coins fell to the ground, and some jumped into the puddle.
"Fool, get them back for me." Wark frowned a little displeased, and the big men rushed to pick up the money.
"No, it's not my money. It's lent to me. I have to give it back to him..." Rebecca struggled to get up, but wark put her foot on her shoulder.
"I said it's mine, that's mine. From today on, she belongs to me," he said with a grin
A gold coin jingled forward, and a tattooed man bent behind.
The gold coin hit a wheel and stopped.
The man looked happy and reached out to pick it up.
But just as his hand touched the gold coin, one of his feet fell down, as if he had dropped a heavy hammer. He directly stepped the big hand into the black gravel.
"This is my money."
There was a cold voice accompanied by a loud scream.
