Chapter 25 Reunion (1)

In a mountain range hundreds of miles away from the lodge, on a winding path, Angelet, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly raised his head, and his dark brown eyes instantly turned into a clear blue.

The blue pupil is like a crystal clear glass ball.

There was a faint electric arc flickering inside, and Angelet, who raised his head, looked at the void, as if looking at each other from across the air.

Lin En, who was sitting next to him and reading a book, felt a little uncomfortable, and an inexplicable feeling of nausea surged in his heart.

It's like being peeped by something, and goosebumps pop up on my neck.

But this feeling of being peeped only lasted for a short while, and soon the feeling of being peeped disappeared.

Lin En glanced at the teacher beside him, but saw that Teacher Angelet did not respond.

Lynn also lowered his head and continued to read.

Perhaps it was the magnificent knowledge in the extraordinary world that attracted him. Lin En didn't find it boring to read, but found the content in the book very interesting, and the more he read and understood, the stronger this feeling became.

Variation. With the reading of books, the understanding of Variation.

Lin En found that he not only improved in variation, but also improved a lot in the knowledge of blood.

"Sir, we can reach Bangor Harbor today." Old Kim said.

After coming out of the mountains, the speed of the carriage accelerated, and the somewhat boring journey made Lynn a little boring.

As it keeps approaching, or approaching Bangor Port, the thoughts in the bottom of my heart turn into silk and wrap around my heart little by little.

Lin En hummed lightly from the wing of his nose, and opened the curtain of the car.

From the expectation of just getting on the carriage, to the exhaustion of the bumpy road, but when I really knew that I was about to reach the destination, my mood was still a bit complicated.

He was worried about hearing the bad news that his family members had an accident on the way, and he couldn't help but look forward to the surprised expressions of his parents when they saw him.

"Thank you." Lynn said.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, the sky in the distance seems to be bluer than that inland, with white clouds floating in the sky.

The trees on both sides are a little sparse, and the number of civilians on both sides of the main road is gradually increasing.

The civilians who come and go are well-dressed, and they are richer in color and style than the civilians in the inland area.

With smiles on their faces, they talked in low voices, with occasional laughter coming from the street.

In the interior, women are rarely seen walking outside on the streets.

But here, women are walking on the road in beautiful clothes, holding their heads high and talking with their companions in a low voice.

Old Kim, who was driving the carriage, saw this scene, and envy appeared in his eyes while he was smoking a cigarette.

It would be great if I could live here.

But there is no chance in this life.

He is too old, and he doesn't know how many years he can continue to work.

Now he just wants to make more money while he can still make money.

Spend the money you earn for your grandson and save it for your son. As for himself—he was just an old Kim, which in their hometown meant a hard-working ox.

"This is it, what do you think?"

Anika held her daughter vigilantly, watching the group of people who broke into the house suddenly.

In front are two slightly older men. The man on the left has a long and narrow scar at the corner of his mouth, and half of his eyebrows are missing. The man on the right is short and fat, but his face is more ferocious, full of flesh.

Behind the two of them, there are a group of tall and strong men, and there are a few people standing outside.

The other residents around watched from a distance and dared not approach.

Except for the two leading the way on both sides, who are notoriously idle hooligans in the slums, the group of people in the back are well-dressed, and they don't look like ordinary people, and they may be related to nobles.

A group of strong men spread out behind, and a man wearing single-sided round-frame glasses and a gray suit who was protected in the middle came over.

Looks Ava up and down.

Anika recognizes this look, the same look she used when she went to the market to choose meat.

"It's not bad. I can complete one quota and bring it back." The man turned and left after speaking.

Anika hugged her daughter, but she couldn't fight at all. Looking at Ava who was crying in pain because of being pulled, Anika felt a little distressed, and her daughter was snatched away as soon as she let go of her fingers.

The next moment, Ava was forcibly taken away by this group of people.

Anika chased after her, and the short and fat man suddenly kicked Anika hard in the stomach.

Anika was kicked to the ground, and two hooligans rushed over and beat and kicked her. In the confusion, someone kicked her **** the head, and the woman lay unconscious on the ground.

After a long time, after the group left.

Only the neighbor next to her sneaked over to watch and found Anika lying unconscious on the ground.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"The Hamilton family is too unlucky."

Someone looked at it, looked at it, and then retracted.

Some people shook their heads. Those people may be nobles, and they can't afford to offend them.

In the evening, two men, one tall and one short, went home from the pier together.

Hamilton was holding a big fat fish in his hand. Although there were a lot of blood on the fish scales and the fish was not very fresh, he only spent 10 copper coins to receive this fish from a fisherman.

Ava likes to eat fish the most. Cook a pot of fat fish soup tonight. Ava is still growing, so she needs to make up for it.

Hamilton put his left hand in his trousers pocket, touching the heated silver coins, feeling very happy in his heart, perhaps he would be able to save enough money for renting a house in a few days.

At that time, change to another place to live, the seaside is too humid, even a grown man like him feels faint knee pain every morning when he wakes up.

Stepping on the wet, moss-covered board, the cold sea breeze poured in, and Hamilton tightened his collar.

However, he didn't notice that other people in the slum looked at him strangely, but Borg, who was following Hamilton, faintly sensed something was wrong.

But Borg is a shy and introverted boy. Although he sensed something was wrong, he just held his father's hand even tighter.

"What's the matter, Borg, are you cold?" Hamilton asked concerned.

Borg shook his head.

"Hamilton." A man sitting on a small wooden bench in front of a nearby room suddenly called out to Hamilton.

Hamilton turned his head and recognized Bart who stopped him.

This is a fellow who fled from the same town with him. He used to be a carpenter in the town, and he also opened a small grocery store and knew some handicrafts.

During the escape, the two families usually helped each other.

However, Bart injured his leg while fleeing, and now he usually helps others to do a little carpentry to make ends meet.

"Haha, Bart, would you like to have some soup at my house tonight?" Hamilton smiled heartily.

Bart was silent for a moment, and said, "Hurry up and go home and see Anika."

After finishing speaking, Bart lowered his head and continued to polish the stool in his hand.

Hamilton was taken aback, listening to Bart's words, faintly aware that something was wrong.

hurriedly ran towards his home.

Looking at the ajar door, Hamilton hurriedly pushed it open.

Seeing Anika, who was lying on the ground and breathing weakly, and Ava, who was missing in the room, the man's eyes turned red.

"Anika!"

Holding Anika to the bed, his wife's forehead was as cold as ice, and her breathing was very weak.

This honest and simple man was so panicked that he didn't know what to do. He asked Barton to stay at home and boil water to take care of his mother. He hurried to call for a doctor.

It was windy outside at night, and the old doctor was reluctant to go out at first, but seeing this man with red eyes and bloodshot eyes give out twice the consultation fee, the old doctor in his sixties reluctantly came here with a medicine box To the Hamiltons.

The old doctor checked Anika's body and shook his head, "The cold has entered the body, there is also a wound on the back of the head, and there are bruises on the stomach, which may have injured the internal organs. The main reason is that the cold air enters the body after the injury, even if it can be cured It will take a long time to raise her, and there will be sequelae. Fortunately, her physical fitness is not bad, and she will be gone if she changes to a weaker one.

But even if he is cured, he may not be able to do heavy work. If you need a lot of money to treat it, are you sure you want to treat it? It's not that I charge high fees, it's that many drugs are not cheap. "

Hamilton took out more than a dozen silver coins from the cracks in the corners, and took out hidden silver coins from various corners of the house, and piled a small pile on the bed.

"Is this money enough?"

"The follow-up medicine is definitely not enough, but it is enough for now." The old doctor shook his head, nodded again, hesitated, and reminded: "Are you sure you want to save? This will drag down your family."

He has seen too many similar examples. A single illness can bring a family into a deep abyss.

Hamilton gritted his teeth and nodded, he must be saved, he must be saved. In the future, he will work two jobs by himself and earn money to save people. He had suffered the pain of losing his son once and could not lose his wife again.

And there is also the missing Ava. At this moment, the man in a foreign land suddenly felt deeply powerless.
