Chapter 73

Novigri's South Street area occupies only a small part of the whole city, but its population is no less than that of the northern border of Florida.

It also creates a congested living environment. The width of the streets makes the distance between the buildings extremely narrow. When neighbors chat, they can touch the wine glass just by opening the window.

For example, Ermer street has been regarded as a relatively prosperous area in the South Street area.

To the south, the congestion, poverty and stench become more and more serious. On Ermer street, you can see at least brick houses, at least buildings without exposed roofs.

But here, i.e. horseshoe street where Li Nuo is now, you can see the temporary buildings made of damp wooden frames and old cloth within a few steps. Often, a family of five or six has to live in this kind of shed without shelter from rain and wind.

Li Nuo, who saw this kind of life scene for the first time, had a feeling that these guys were just like animals.

After finding the special smell of Tom's clothes, Li Nuo found that his nose had failed because the smell of this place was almost the same as that of Tom.

It seems that we need to ask someone... Li Nuo thinks so, and his eyes scan wantonly to see who can ask here.

At this time, a hand hook from the back on Li Nuo's shoulder, a smelly slovenly light year appeared in Li Nuo's side.

"My friend, you don't look like this one?"

Then another man came up and put his hand on the back of Li Nuo's head.

"As kind-hearted people, we have the obligation to tell you about the rules of doing business in this street ~" the man pointed to the narrow alley around him, "little brother, come over with us, it's not convenient to talk here ~"

Li Nuo looked around at the two elder brothers and then said with a modest smile, "well, I have something to ask you."

Some people watched Li Nuo being led into the alley, all expressing sympathy with the thin young man with pitiful expressions.

"Unfortunate guy, just came here and met the holim brothers..."

"Who told him that he had to come here? He had to be beaten when he was robbed."

A minute later, Li Nuo walked out of the alley alone.

Those who were pitying Li Nuo just now were a little surprised. How much money did they give to the brothers before they were beaten?

At this time, holim and his brothers walked out of the alley behind Li Nuo.

"Brother, let's go ahead and show you the way." The first person who spoke to Li Nuo just now said in a flattering tone that he was brother holim.

"Brother, walk slowly, the ground is slippery." Next to the flatterer is hollimdy.

All the people who witnessed everything frowned, and many of them looked at the alley.

They are all curious about what happened in this alley just one minute ago

Under the guidance of holim brothers, a few minutes later, Li Nuo stood in front of a collapsed house.

The collapsed part of the house was covered with wooden frames and dirty cloth.

"This is Tom's house." Said brother holim, hunched.

Li Nuo nodded, "thank you, please lead the way."

With a smile, the holim brothers retreated and left. After Li Nuo confirmed that the two men had gone far away, he knocked on the wooden door which had fallen off the skin.

After a few knocks, a girl who may not be ten years old opened the door.

"What can I do for you, sir?"

"Is this Tom's?" Li asked

The girl was stunned at first, and then immediately closed the door. At the same time, she heard the sound of locking behind the door.

Then the girl's cry came from behind the door, "Mom! No! Someone's looking for my brother's trouble! Let's run

How many people did the boy recruit... Li Nuo went to the collapse of the house, opened the covering cloth and saw the girl packing the food on the table in a hurry.

Li Nuo put his head in and coughed, "that... Excuse me..."

After hearing the voice, the girl looked at Li Nuo, with her mouth open and her eyes wide open.

"Ah!!!! Here we go

I'm not a goddamn witch!

"Don't scream, MafA." A woman's voice stopped the screaming little girl.

Sitting up from the pile of debris, a woman, looking very haggard, nodded her head at Li Nuo, "sorry, sir, I scared you."

"Marfa, go and open the door." Said the woman to a girl named marfa.

"No more." Lino crawled in through the cracks in the cloth.

MafA began to scream again: "Mom, you see, he doesn't go through the door, there must be something wrong!"

Are you a girl Jack! Li Nuo stood in the room with a belly.

The woman in the face of her daughter's noisy helpless to Li Nuo smile: "sorry, sir, let you laugh."

"That's all right, ma'am. I'm here for Tom. There's something wrong, but don't worry. I'm not here for trouble."

"Molly lane." The woman introduced and then said, "I'm the mother of Tom and MafA. I don't know what's the matter with you and Tom, sir. But through words and your kind face, I don't believe you've come to trouble us."

Li Nuo lowered his head slightly. "Thank you for believing, Mrs. lane."

From the moment he entered the house, he kept observing everything here.

It's messy, it's full of mosquitoes, it smells of mold, it's a standard house for the poor.

There are only three bowls on the cupboard. There is no male owner in this family. They belong to a mother with two children. They are even poorer.

But Mrs. Lane's appearance is somewhat different. She looks haggard and seems to be speaking with her full strength. But in this state, she still maintains the etiquette that is rarely seen in the South Street. She is not like a person growing up in such a place.

Tom's family must have something to do with living here. Now this branch line must have something to do with what happened behind his family.

Then Mrs. Lane said to her daughter, "marfa, pour some water for this gentleman."

MafA listened to his mother's words very much. Although she looked suspicious, she still picked up the cleanest cup, filled it with water with a pot full of cracks and handed it to Li Nuo.

"Sir... Your water..."

"Thank you." Li Nuo took the cup, but saw that the water level in the pot behind MafA was almost to the end.

So he put the cup on the table and didn't drink.

There was a knock at the door.

"MafA, I'm back!"

It's Tom's voice.

Ma FA looked at Li Nuo and his mother. After seeing her mother nodding, she opened the door.

Tom walked into the room with a cheerful look and two bags of water in his hand.

"I've come back with water..." He saw Li Nuo waiting here.

Mrs. Lane saw Tom's surprise and said, "Tom, this gentleman has something to do with you."

"How can you..." Tom swallowed, put his water bag on the table and said to Li Nuo, "Sir, let's go outside and talk."

After going out with Tom, he saw that the boy's face was as ugly as a basin of traditional Chinese medicine, "Sir, did you follow me yesterday?"

Li Nuo smiles and shakes his head. "No."

"Then how do you know my home?"

Li Nuo shrugged. "Just ask."

Tom said angrily: "although you have saved me, I have also done what you asked for. We should be clear. I warn you, it doesn't matter how I am. Don't do anything to my mother and sister, otherwise..."

Li Nuo looked at Tom indifferently. Although he didn't do a good job, he attached great importance to his family and had a clear organization and a lot of brain activity.

This age can have such a way of thinking, should belong to congenital conditions and acquired education, more convinced that Tom's family should not be residents here.

Looking at Tom's face, he couldn't say the second half of the sentence for a long time. Li Nuo squatted down slowly and asked with a smile, "what else would you do?"

Tom's face swelled like a ball, and his mouth kept saying, "otherwise... Otherwise..."

At this time, Li Nuo suddenly laughed, rubbed Tom's head and said, "don't worry, I have no malice."

Tom was dull and asked, "well... Why do you still come to me?"

"Tell me everything that happened in your family if you want your mother and sister to live better," he said
