Even the sky in the slums is gray, and no light can come in.
Passing pedestrians watched all this numbly. This kind of drama of men beating women occurs several times a day in the slums. Most of the men here do heavy physical work. When they come home, they punch and kick and scold women, which is normal. Up.
At this time, a fat woman in a yellow petticoat passed by and persuaded earnestly:
"Oh Anna, you can't do this! Mr. Hall is generous enough! Look at my Lisa, she sold a full thousand rupees... We ate meat for two months... Oh, the master So generous..."
The woman next to me also advised.
"Anna, if Mr. Hall really kicks you out, what can you do? Think about Pamela, the last time I saw her, she was rotten..."
"Think about yourself... children, children will always be there again, maybe still a boy!"
"Mother, mother!"
The little slug gripped her mother's clothes tightly, crying with fright.
"Cry and cry! Just know to cry! My old Hall's family doesn't need useless people! Anna, you choose yourself! Either she gets out, or you get out with her!"
At this moment, the strong man kicked from behind.
The woman staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Liu Yu clenched his fist tightly:
Wait a while, wait a while...
Suddenly, a hand covered the back of her hand, and Gaia's worried green eyes appeared in front of her.
"Belli..."
Liu Yu withdrew his hand:
"concentrate."
She said.
There was a mess on the court.
The dissuasion of "good-hearted people", the scolding of the brawny, and the crying of children are mixed together, like the mixed pungent smell of slums, which makes people feel hopeless.
The woman was dull and did not speak, her face was indistinct under her messy chestnut hair.
Liu Yu's gaze fell on her hand, which held the slug tightly, as thin as a chicken's feet--
It was shaking, and the more it shook, the worse it got.
The little slug seemed to feel something, just raised her head and looked at her ignorantly:
"mother......"
A tear fell on her face, and then more and more...
"Mother, don't cry..."
The little slug stood on tiptoe, trying to wipe her tears-
Liu Yu retracted his gaze and turned around:
"Let's go."
Her voice is very soft.
"Don't watch it?"
The voices of people around him came.
"The result... didn't it come out?"
She raised her eyes and looked at each other, her blue eyes like an ancient well without waves.
"Maybe... it may not be what you think."
He said.
"is it?"
Liu Yu still stopped.
Something has always held her back, preventing her from moving forward, but not turning around, her sinking heart has clearly bottomed out--
At this time, a dull dull sound came, accompanied by a burst of exclamation:
"Anna?!"
"What are you doing? Oh, Mr. Hall... how are you?"
She turned around abruptly--
But seeing the thin woman blocking the little slug behind her, lying on the ground was the brawny man who had just been incompetent. He seemed to have been slammed into a fist suddenly. Before he recovered, Tongling's big eyes stared. Looking at the woman named Anna.
The woman was so scared that her body was swinging, but she still said:
"I, I... Hall! I, I will not lose my child, never, never!"
Really beautiful words.
There are such beautiful emotions in this world...
enough.
Liu Yu smiled slightly.
It seemed that a certain kind of illness was melted by the sun, and even the soul became relaxed.
She couldn't help but look at the young man aside. His green eyes exposed to the sun were gurgling streams and flowing boats inside. He seemed to understand her.
She turned to the street again.
The strong man has stood up:
"By you? Can you support her? Oh, you mean you're going to be a female daughter? Come on... Look in the mirror, no one will like you like you... You still have children..."
"I will not give up! I will never let my daughter grow up like me, let alone let her be like poor Lisa... as long as I live one day!"
"Pooh!"
The brawny man spat at her.
The slimy, yellow-turbid sputum drew a curve in the air, and it was about to fall on Anna's face-
At this time, a blue spot of light landed.
When the light spot touched the sputum in the air, the sputum returned along the same path and directly fell into the big open mouth of the strong man.
The brawny man closed his mouth and swallowed back.
Everyone:...
Even the inattentive Mrs. Barton couldn't help but vomit.
They subconsciously looked in the direction where the blue light came from, and before they could see clearly, they heard the little slug cried happily:
"Mother! That's the pretty lady who gave me candy!"
I saw a corner where no one had noticed just now, standing one-on-one to see aristocratic men and women.
They are so beautiful--
Especially the young man in the black and gold cloak, with long black hair casually scattered, but it seemed to gather a whole dark night, mysterious and noble. On his pale face, his green eyes are like pure emeralds, and when he looks at people, he looks cold and unkind:
It seemed that all of them were ants who should surrender under his feet.
And the girl standing next to him has long golden hair, but what is more dazzling and brilliant than the long hair is the smile on her face--
Like warm spring, like hot summer, like slow autumn, but there is no winter.
All the ice has been melted away, leaving only soft water and gentle wind.
As if beautiful, as if hope.
Everyone was silly.
Only the little slug stretched out his hand and shook:
"Miss Pretty! Mister Pretty! Hello!"
After speaking, he clasped the clothes of the woman in front of him tightly for fear of being left behind.
Anna also looked at the young couple unblinkingly. She knew more than her daughter... Such a gentleman and a lady, at first glance, are the noble adults in the Eastern District, and they know magic skills...
Liu Yu walked over.
She walked to this respectable mother:
"Do you want to go to the East Side?"
She asked.
Anna looked at her in confusion and blinked.
This noble lady...what is she talking about?
She hasn't recovered yet.
The little slug looked up at his mother, then at the beautiful lady, sniffed his nose.
At this moment, dozens of white figures suddenly fell down the street.
The star and moon robe of the temple? !
Divine Envoy in White? !
The whole street seemed to freeze, no one dared to make a sound.
Only Liu Yu calmly looked at the envoys who suddenly appeared:
"You said, what are they doing?"
She asked Gaia.
The young man lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes covered the lake-green eyes. At this moment, his black hair turned silvery white, like holy snow.
The cape and hat automatically covered his beautiful face without any wind.
"They saw the magic circle."
"So... are you here to find us?"
What Liu Yu said was a question, with a calm tone.
She was still hesitating just now, how to settle the mother and daughter-
After all, she could not stay in Minseton for a long time, but now she has the answer.
The people on the street looked silently at these noble existences that would never be seen in the West End... They stood orderly on the side of the street, looking up as if waiting for something.
Suddenly, a red figure fell from the sky.
Hunting in a toga, embroidered with the sun and the moon, the newcomer is leaning on a scepter of light and a golden crown on his head-
"Cardinal?!"
Someone yelled out gaffe.
"Master Bishop! I found it."
The envoys bowed their heads in unison.
When the cardinal's gaze fell down the street, he immediately determined the goal--
That pair of men and women is too good.
They are like stars in the vast dust, unable to be covered by any gloom.
Even this nasty and dirty slum has become a noble and elegant palace.
Such an existence can also use such a magnificent magic circle.
The poor people in the street knelt down one after another, they shouted:
"Meet the Bishop!"
The cardinal has long been accustomed to this. He hurriedly walked up to the pair of existences in a respectful manner, and bowed his head deeply:
"See you."
The girl of the two replied:
"Master Bishop."
"Excuse me, is the Forbidden Curse Magic Circle set up by your Excellency?"
Asked the cardinal.
"Yes."
"that......"
He raised his head subconsciously, but his eyes were stung by the diffuse golden light.
So the cardinal knew that these two noble adults had no intention of having more contact with the temple--
Although it confuses the other party's identity, the noble Temple of Light will not speculate out of thin air, not to mention that the magic circle alone knows that the opponent's strength is far greater than his own, and there is no malice.
"Your Excellency saved the entire city-state of Yasori and the entire Minseton world... We are extremely grateful... If you have any needs, you can also give orders."
He is respectful and authentic.
"I do want to ask you something."
"Sir, please speak."
The bishop's crown hung lower.
The closer you get to the opponent, the more you can feel the unfathomable strength of the opponent--
Compared to the other's vast divine power, he was as small as dust.
"Please help me bring Miss Anna and her daughter to the Eastern District and live under the blessing of the temple... Don't worry, I will leave them a fortune to help them live independently..."
The other party made a strange request.
"Miss Anna?"
Of course, the cardinal would not know these little people at the bottom, who would be crushed to death by life at any time.
With a move from Liu Yu, the thin woman and little girl were sent to the bishop by a gust of wind:
"It's them."
The cardinal raised his head. The women wore ragged clothes, cowering, and seeing that they came out of the slum...
The adult's request is really strange.
he thinks.
"Of course, the temple will definitely complete your TOEFL."
"Thank you then."
This is a gift Liu Yu gave to this respectable mother.
At this time, Anna had already understood.
what does this mean?
This means that she can escape this terrible place where hope is never seen and live in the East Side.
The streets of the East District are always clean. People in the East District are naturally noble. The East District is their dream paradise.
Every one of them expects to live in the East Side...
Moreover, they also have the blessing of the temple! Those tramps and bad guys dare not bully their mother and daughter. She can go to work in the Eastern District. The nobles would hire her as they looked at the temple.
She can support her daughter on her own.
Anna quickly took her daughter down to her knees:
"Thank you! Thank you, my lord!"
"Don't thank me..." Liu Yu's voice softened, "You are a respectable mother."
Anna cried with joy.
The little slug looked at her ignorantly, she stretched out her sleeves:
"Mother, mother..."
I want to wipe her tears.
Liu Yu looked at Hall not far away.
Hall shook his body, not daring to oppose a trace of opposition, a presence that even the cardinal respected... he could be crushed to death by just one finger.
He didn't dare to move, he didn't dare to lift his head.
As if feeling the line of sight above his head, he raised his head--
A clever, began to kowtow:
"Please, please forgive me! Forgive me!"
"I'm guilty!"
"What's your sin?"
Liu Yu asked.
"No, shouldn't..."
Hall faltered, obviously not knowing what he had done wrong--
Didn't he just beat his wife?
Who doesn't fight around here?
Liu Yu sighed, and inadvertently argued with him. With a flick of his finger, a blue light spot fell on his arm. Suddenly, Hall felt that his arm was hit hard by a stick, and he screamed subconsciously. With a cry:
"what--"
"I broke my hand! I broke my hand!"
"It's not broken, but you have to endure the pain of this broken arm for three months. Remember this pain-" She looked at the chilling people around, "You also remember, if you continue to beat your wife and daughter...be seen again , You will be the same as Hall, and maybe you will die."
Of course Liu Yu knew that this couldn't really stop anything.
Human thoughts are imprisoned by the environment-
Even if it is to change, it needs to be nurtured from generation to generation.
But a warning from a high-ranking person can still play a role.
The cardinal waited aside. After Liu Yu was finished, he sent a request to "live in the temple". As for the man next to her--
He glanced at it, and he felt shocked.
Don't dare to talk.
Liu Yu refused.
In the next moment, in the eyes of everyone, he walked out with the mysterious black-robed man beside him.
The white skirt and the black robe were staggered apart, and Anna raised her head-
For some reason, she couldn't help but recall the mysterious young pupil, as if with psychedelic magic.
****
The city-state of Yasori, the eastern district.
Liu Yu just wanted to find a quiet place to stay, she didn't want to go anywhere.
Finally, at the end of a secluded street in the Eastern District, I found a humble little hotel.
The small hotel has two floors.
The door plaque is made of brown coconut shells, and you can see the large leafy green plants everywhere in the hotel outside-this reminds Liu Yu of those tropical hotels in the past.
A young man in a navy blue uniform greeted him. His facial features were only correct, but his smile made people very comfortable:
"Hello, are you staying in a store or drinking?"
"Stay in."
When Liu Yu was about to reply, his sight was blocked by a wide back.
Gaia threw a bright sacred crystal, the young man was startled, and caught it in a hurry:
"Dear Sir, you...too many."
"Pack the entire hotel."
"Pack it? But, but... someone is already living."
Young people are embarrassed.
A chubby middle-aged man patted the young man on the shoulder, and took the bright holy crystal in his hand:
"Mr. No problem, with this holy crystal, you can pack it for a month."
"Everyone is leaving."
"Good sir, no problem sir..." The fat boss nodded and bowed, "The kitchen..."
"No need."
The fat boss gave the guest a bell:
"If you have any needs, ring this bell... I live next door, waiting for your instructions at any time."
"Thank you."
The guest picked it up politely, but when the youth left the hotel, he found that the bell was thrown on the long platform of the hotel. He shook his head, "What a strange guest."
Just recalling the appearance of the guest again, but his mind was blurred.
Liu Yu was already lying on her bed.
She looked at the palm of her hand, and the thin sunlight came in through her fingers, shining everything brightly. She smiled slightly again: She won...
She is very happy.
Very happy.
She wants to drink.
She sat up suddenly--
At this time, a knock on the door sounded:
"Belle."
Before she could answer, the door had been pushed open from the outside.
The sunlight poured out like running water, and the incoming person's body was plated with light. In the vague light and shadow, he could only see his beautiful and handsome outline and his green eyes like a clear spring.
He smiled at her:
"Drink, Belle?"
Liu Yu looked up at him for a while, then smiled, "Did you bring wine?"
He looks like her Doraemon.
He will give what she wants.
Her eyes fell on the silver wine can he was carrying.
