Chapter 131
it's getting dark.
Cao'er became impatient.
She could see the sunset in the sky through the gap in the wooden window, and knew that if it was later, the people here would have to do something.
Although she hadn't found out what happened here and what the old woman was going to do to her, she knew she was in a dangerous situation now.
And the dwarves who stayed with her were so ignorant that they didn't even want to leave the warm house.
It may be because the old woman is also a dwarf, and these dwarves travel as a family, so they have no doubts at all because of their trust in their own clan and their blind confidence in their own force.
Cao'er chatted with the dwarf children, knowing that they came from a village a month away from here.
The people in their village are basically dwarves, who live by farming and doing some wood carvings. Life is not good but not too bad. At least they have clothes to wear, and they will not starve to death. But the dwarf parents are very ambitious. They hope My child can read and write.
But they have no money and no social status.
Here, those who can read and write are either big businessmen or nobles. If ordinary civilians want to read and write, the best way is to become servants of nobles through the introduction of relatives and friends.
Favored senior servants were able to read and write.
The child speaks a bit incoherently, does not look smart, or may appear naive because of insufficient nutrition.
It took Cao'er a long time to piece together his words before he could piece together a general cause and effect.
There are relatives of this town resident in the village where they live. After receiving the letter from here, the family quickly sold the house and land and rushed here. The villagers said they were going to live a better life.
The letter made the town look like heaven on earth.
All races coexist on an equal footing. With a little labor, they can live a good life with enough food and clothing, live in a big house, and children can go to school.
There is no crime, no pain in this town, and everything about it is beautiful, a gift from God to the world.
It’s just that most of the villagers don’t believe it, partly because they can’t leave their homeland, and partly because they simply think that there won’t be such a good place in this world, and if there is, it won’t be the turn of the dwarves.
But the goblins in the house now can only take a gamble because they have to send their children to school.
But they have their own wisdom. They only sold their own house, not the land. If they find something wrong after coming here, they can go back to their hometown, build a simple wooden house and continue to live.
Cao'er couldn't laugh or cry, they knew to leave a way out for themselves, but they couldn't find the danger in front of them.
But she didn't remind them, at least not now, and she was not out of danger yet, and she wasn't ready to make them shout.
The old woman will definitely come back later, and when the old woman comes back to open the door, she must run out.
If you can use a gun, you don't need a gun, otherwise you will definitely startle the snake.
Cao'er rubbed her chin, she knew quite a few idioms now.
She doesn't need to be reminded to know that if she doesn't startle the snake, they are in the dark and the enemy is in the open.
But if you startle the snake, the situation on both sides will be reversed.
Guns are her last resort.
Cao'er took a deep breath and continued to cheer herself up, she can do it!She has been with Immortal for so long, and Sister Chen, Sister Sarah and Zou Ming taught her, she has even learned simple first aid methods, she will definitely be able to do it!
it's dark.
The last ray of light faded away, and only the moonlight came in through the crack of the window, and the moonlight cast a flickering light on the floor like a cold lake.
Cao'er's heart rose to her throat.
She didn't want to make too much noise here, if the old lady didn't come back, she could only knock on the door and go out.
Then the whole town will know that someone has escaped.
Finally, footsteps came from outside the door.
Cao'er finally felt relieved, she bent down slightly, and put one hand on the handle of the knife tied to her calf.
She is not afraid of killing people, and she has killed people before, and now she is sure that the old woman is going to kill her, so she will never show any mercy.
When fleeing, so many people felt sorry for her. If she went to feel sorry for others, who would feel sorry for her?
The door lock was unlocked, and with a "click", Cao'er almost immediately ran towards the door.
Her speed is very fast, which may be the ability she developed while running for her life. She can't beat people, and she is No. 1 in running.
Before the people inside and outside the room could react, Cao'er inserted her foot into the gap of the door and prevented it from being closed again. Compared with the old woman, she was stronger. After all, a dwarf has limited height and strength. It can't be compared with Cao'er who has been eating and drinking for a long time and has been exercising.
Cao'er opened the door and saw the shocked face of the old woman.
Cao'er, who didn't want to scare the snake, thought of a lame excuse, and she shouted anxiously: "I lost something on the road, and I have to go back and find it!"
After she finished speaking, she wanted to rush out.
She did rush forward, just as she thought, the old woman couldn't stop her at all.
But when she really rushed out the door and onto the street, what she saw was not an empty street—but a dense crowd of people.
It seemed like the whole town was out.
Different races, different heights, they didn't even speak, didn't make a sound, they just stood on the street, looking at her peacefully and even tenderly.
No, it was looking at her and the people in the room.
"Miss, don't run away." The old woman closed the door again, blocking the sight of the dwarves in the room. She turned around and said to Cao'er with a smile, "Isn't it good here?"
Cao'er still remembered her lie, but she had already touched the gun with one hand, and she still looked anxious: "My things are really lost, they are my father's relics, I have to find them back. "
The old woman smiled and didn't believe her words. After all, there were so many people outside, no matter how stupid this person was, she should have noticed something was wrong.
"Miss." The old woman looked up at Cao'er, "Everyone who enters the town will become our family, tell me what you lost, and I will have someone find it for you, it's too late now Now, go back and rest."
Cao'er also found that she couldn't get out by lying. The anxious expression on her face faded, and she asked blankly: "Who are you? What are you? What are you trying to arrest?"
She imitated Zou Ming's cold face, which really made the old lady nervous.
However, this nervousness quickly dissipated. Even if a young girl had a weapon on her body, she couldn't really cause any damage to others.
The old woman smiled and said: "I said, this is a good place. As long as you stay obediently, you will be allocated a house like this, and you can receive others like me, and you will have fresh bread to eat every day."
Cao'er was stunned.
The other party really wanted to harm her, but he also wanted to lure her into his gang.
why?
Cao'er remembered the hometown she had made up when she and the old woman walked in through the city gate. At that time, the old woman's eyes were very bright, and she kept asking her how many people were there in her hometown and what they did.
Because she didn't prepare such content when preparing the lie, Cao'er was talking about her fellow villagers in the Liang Dynasty.
After all, she was not on the same plane, and Cao'er was not worried that the old woman would harm her fellow villagers—even if she returned to Daliang Dynasty, she would not be able to find them.
It is very real because it is not made up and has its original shape.
The old woman couldn't believe that a girl who came from a small place could make up such a complete place.
Cao'er let go of Qian's hand, but instead of putting it down, she asked, "Are you serious?"
The old woman: "Of course, you can also bring your parents and relatives over, as long as..."
Cao'er: "Just what?"
The old woman suddenly grabbed Cao'er's wrist and led Cao'er down the steps.
When they reached a place in the house where the dwarves could not hear them, the old woman suddenly changed her face. Her kind and kind face became indifferent in an instant, and the voice she opened was also very flat. She looked at Cao'er Said: "As long as you can call people from your hometown, it doesn't need to be many, two people a month will do."
"Give them something I brought you when they eat at night, and when they go to sleep, someone will come to your house, and you don't have to worry about anything after that." The old woman said, "As long as you stay here, you You can live a better life than you can imagine.”
Cao'er was a little confused and asked, "What a good day?"
There isn't even toilet paper here!There is no TV, let alone hot pot, what good life can there be?
Seeing that the confusion on Cao'er's face was not fake, the old woman finally put on a smile again: "Here, all races are equal. If you have any difficulties, just call on the street and someone will help you. Every day There will be fresh milk and bread delivered to your door, and there will be shops where you can buy food and seeds."
Cao'er: "What do you use to buy it?"
Old woman: "Every time you take someone from your house, you get a silver coin."
Cao'er frowned: "Is one silver coin enough?"
The old woman: "Our place is not like the outside. You can buy a pot of salt with two silver coins outside. We buy a pot of salt with two copper coins here. Do you think it is enough?"
However, Cao'er, who doesn't know how many copper coins are exchanged for a silver coin, has no idea whether a silver coin is worth anything or not.
But looking at the old woman's appearance, it should be worth it, right?
Cao'er pursed her lips: "How can I trust you?"
The old woman looked at her in surprise, as if she was wondering how she could tell that something was wrong with the town with her IQ.
"If I'm going to do something to you, you won't hear what I just said."
The moonlight fell on the old woman, making her look sinister and weird: "Can you run away?"
"Whether you want to or not, you have no choice." The old woman patted the back of Cao'er's hand, "Okay, you don't have to go back to my house, someone will take you to your house."
The old woman said kindly: "The reason I left for so long in the afternoon is to fight for a good house for you."
"When the time comes, you ask your relatives to come over, and don't forget me."
The old woman narrowed her eyes.
After all, her relatives had already been donated by her.
