Si yijuesar, translated in the early ancient writing of Hailan state, is to visit the tide of winter.
However, since the popularity of the common language on the mainland, the local language of Hailan country has slowly begun to lose power. Now few people can speak ancient Hailan. However, some cities and islands in Hailan country follow the name of Hailan.
Sijuesar is one of them. This is a city located in the island chain around Hailan.
Although the official name is "siyijuesar", the locals prefer to call it Dongchao city than this awkward name.
LANBO Bay is a harbor near the sea of Dongchao city. It was originally a very prosperous commercial port. However, after the war between Hailan and the Canary Empire, it was occupied by the army and temporarily changed to a military port.
Originally, changing to a military port has seriously damaged the commerce of LANBO Bay, but there will always be good days in the future when they think of landing on the old land mainland and occupying the land of canary. Therefore, the people of Dongchao city also bite their teeth and decide to survive this period of cold commerce.
But what they didn't expect was that the sea had an incomparable advantage in this war. They occupied the Canary provinces continuously and opened up the territory of the mainland. However, somehow, in just a few months, Hailan showed a decline. Now, it is a failure.
At this point, the Hailan royal family can not stop at this time, let alone demoralize. The empty domestic demand of the country in recent years must be filled by external resources.
Therefore, they can only continue to entangle with the canary.
To fight a war, we must have money and sufficient reserve resources. When the Treasury was in short supply, the Hailan royal family had to pay attention to the ordinary people.
The sudden increase in taxes has really plunged Dongchao City, which is already in a bad situation, into a cold winter.
Dongchao city has been shrouded in the shadow of exorbitant taxes for a long time. In addition, the prospect of defeat has emerged. Today, Dongchao city has a floating heart. There are a large number of bankrupt refugees in the streets. The incidents of stealing, abducting and robbing have begun to increase, which minimizes the trust between people.
In a bakery in lambowan, two children disguised as refugees looked pitifully at the woman manager of the bakery.
The female store manager is a middle-aged aunt with a face full of flesh and looks ferocious.
"Please, we haven't eaten for a long time, and my sister is still ill..." the speaker is a slightly fatter boy among the two refugee children, named chaila.
He was surrounded by a slightly white thin boy who also looked at the female store manager with expectant eyes.
The aunt snorted coldly and angrily scolded chaila: "you don't look in the mirror, you are fatter than my Nini, and you dare to be hungry with me? I think you both come to cheat. Go away! Don't stop me from doing business!"
There was a glimmer of darkness in chaila's eyes, but he was so hungry that he looked at the fragrant bread in the glass cabinet and couldn't help swallowing.
"We didn't cheat to eat. We are really hungry. My brother yaniga is a mute, and my sister was... Hurt again. Please have mercy on us." Said chaila in a sobbing voice.
Aunt finally did not agree to chaila, but called out her big dog and drove chaila and yaniga out.
Looking at the figure of chaila and yaniga leaving, aunt's tight face slowly loosened. She could see that their condition was very poor. If it was in the past, she didn't mind giving relief, but now there was no kind capital... Alas, my aunt shook her head, took a black bread, walked back to the house, and said, "no matter how hungry you are, you can't be hungry at home, Nini."
On the other side, chaila and yaniga finally got rid of the bad dog after running away for a while.
Chaila panted and stood on the shore of the harbor, spitting hard at the sea, with anger in her eyes.
Yaniga was thin and hungry. At this time, she was a little dizzy. As soon as her legs were soft, she fell to the ground.
Seeing this, chaila felt distressed at the bottom of her eyes and ran to help yaniga: "are you okay? It's okay. It's ok if you can't eat bread."
Chaila looked hesitant. After a long time, she bit her teeth and said, "it's a big deal. I'll go to the sea to catch some fish and roast it later."
Yaniga quickly raised his head and shook his head at chaila. Now the port of Rambo Bay has been changed into a military port. The first iron order is that no one can go to the sea.
Once found, fraud will be established on the spot.
Although yaniga was hungry, he didn't want chaila to take risks. He kept gesticulating with his hands. His mouth was wide open. "Ah ah" for a long time, but he couldn't send a word.
If you look carefully, you will find that the tongue in yaniga's mouth has disappeared.
Chaila looked at yaniga trying to speak, and felt sad. When she thought about guyina's injury, her anger couldn't help rising.
"Damn Fengman, if it weren't for him, how could you and guyina fall into the hands of the old witch kusha! You wouldn't... Wouldn't..." chaila bit her teeth and two tears crossed her dirty cheeks.
Yaniga was a little worried. She kept shaking her head and gesticulated quickly with her hands.
"At this point, do you still speak for him?" Chaila wanted to wake yaniga up, but he knew it was useless. He did not know what method von man had used for yaniga and guyina. Even if he fell into such a field, von man was not to blame.
Chaila could only put it down fiercely: "he won't come back. He's a coward!"
After hearing this, yaniga held her mouth and began to sob silently.
Seeing yaniga's appearance, chaila was distressed and oppressed. There seemed to be a breath in her heart that could not be relieved. He couldn't help but want to roar out.
Chaila yelled at the sky for three times in a row.
Chaila's cry slightly distracted yaniga's attention. At the same time, not far from the coast, a girl wearing a princess skirt and a baby fat face also looked at him attracted by the cry of chaila.
Chaila also noticed the girl at this time. When he saw the girl's appearance, hatred flashed through his eyes.
He looked around and saw that no one noticed him. He rushed forward and pushed the girl into the sea. Watching the girl struggling in the sea, chaila finally felt the sultry breath in her chest and dispelled a lot
Yanika looked at chaila in disbelief.
"This woman is the daughter of the former bakery owner. Her mother dares to let the dog bite us. She deserves it!" Chaila said fiercely.
Yaniga was silent for a moment and looked at the girl who had gradually tried her best on the sea. Finally, she just shook her head and pulled chaila away from here.
Chaila and yaniga left Rambo Bay and walked to the outskirts of Dongchao city.
Yanika didn't speak all the way. Chaila knew that yanika was angry.
Chaila didn't think she was wrong. Von Mann killed people, and guyina also killed people, and they killed more than themselves. This is a killing world. Why can't he kill?
They were uncomfortable and speechless all the way. They returned to their temporary place, a shabby shack.
Before they stepped into the shack, they could smell a strong smell of stagnant blood.
There was nothing in the shack but a broken bed, an unburned bonfire, and a broken baby cradle.
The smell of blood came from the baby's cradle. With the smell, it was accompanied by a sharp and harsh voice: "who is it?"
"Guyina, it's us."
"You're back... Rustle, didn't you get anything today?" Guyina's strange and sharp voice came out of the cradle again.
"People in the city are like bedbugs when they see us. No one will pity us. Today, we are even in the bakery in Rambo Bay, and we are chased by a vicious dog..." chaila paused and suddenly smiled: "but it's not bad. I pushed the bakery owner's daughter into the sea! Even if she was found by the patrolling army, she will be killed on the spot!"
Gu Yina suddenly thought of something: "the man you pushed into the sea... Is it Nini?"
"Why, do you know?" Chaila suddenly looked a little alarmed. Their wandering people mostly talked about righteousness. If guyina knew the girl, didn't he do something against righteousness?
"Oh, Nini used to be a friend of mine." Gu Yina paused and heard a "rustle" sound from her cradle: "however, it doesn't matter. Now I don't need friends except you."
Gu Yina's voice was inexplicably low. Chaila thought for a moment and said, "we didn't get nothing this time. Just now we picked up a pile of thorn green fruits on the road. Although it was a little sour, it was very delicious. I broke them for you and soaked them in water."
Guyina just whispered "um".
When chaila went to make chopped tattoo fruit soup, yaniga went to the cradle and looked into the cradle. There was sadness in the bottom of her eyes.
I saw that there was a little blonde girl of about seven or eight years old in the cradle, but her hands and feet were cut off, leaving only part of her body, so she could be put into the cradle. The bloody smell they smelled before came from the gauze of her wound.
She's guyina.
Not only her limbs were damaged, but more than half of Guina's mouth was tightly sewn with black needles and thread.
On guyina's right shoulder, there is a small doll with a round head and thin body. The doll's mouth is big and can even be opened and closed.
In the past, Gu Yina liked to play ventriloquism with Feng man with this puppet doll. Now she can speak thanks to her ability to practice ventriloquism.
"Yaniga, you don't need to be sad. I'm not dead yet. When I die, you'll be sad, okay?" Guyina's strange voice came out.
Yaniga nodded sadly.
"Well, don't let me see your sad face again. You promised me to learn ventriloquism before I die. I'll continue to teach you while I still have time..."
Before yaniga could speak, chaila came over with a broken bowl carrying green juice: "you won't die. You will live like us."
"Ho ho ho --" Gu Yina laughed in her ventral voice with inexplicable and strange: "I can feel that life is passing, but I will try to live. I also want to see feng man before I die."
At the mention of Feng man, chaila's face suddenly darkened: "what poison did you two get from Feng man, the white footed sea spider? He hurt you, don't you forget?"
Yaniga protested silently, but Guina said faintly, "he didn't hurt us. He himself is also a victim."
"A victim unharmed?" Chaila Leng hum: "you're dead. He won't come back."
"If he comes back, I want to see him. If he doesn't come back... That's good." Guyina's eyes drooped slightly and seemed to fall into memory.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into silence. Just then, there was a disorderly sound of footsteps outside the shack.
