I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 354 Aniya’s Memories (2)

When encountering these street children, store owners will generally scold them away and will never let them approach their stores.

This time Aniya, who was not afraid of death, once again sneaked into the shop of a fruit shop owner and started stealing apples while the boss was not paying attention.

However, the shrewd boss soon discovered the unwelcome guest and immediately scolded him loudly.

Ania, who was caught in the act, still didn't blush, and her heart didn't beat. Then she pointed to the Bavarian federal soldiers patrolling not far away with a smile and said: "Ah! Got discovered? It's really troublesome, forget it.

Let’s just put the blame for those things on those guys.”

"How dare you say such a thing!" This thief's skills were not very good, but his words and thick skin really made the store owner feel more and more annoyed.

I saw him pick up the stick next to him and hit Aniya hard.

However, Aniya easily dodged it this time. She made a face at the boss and then ran away.

"Tsk, aren't we in the situation we are in now thanks to those officers and soldiers? What, they are guys who can't understand the situation at all." Aniya cursed secretly as she ran away quickly.

At this time, she happened to pass by a camp built by the army, and the luxurious square buildings made her even more angry.

"What are you doing? You have money to repair that useless thing, but you don't know how to get some food for us." Maybe she was paying too much attention to those buildings, and accidentally bumped into a white wall at the corner.

The impact caused her to stumble back several steps, and a lot of apples in her arms fell to the ground.

"Ugh, it hurts."

"Oh, I'm sorry." It turned out that the person Ania bumped into was an old priest wearing this white robe. After realizing that he had bumped into someone, the old man immediately apologized and helped Ania pick up the apple that fell on the ground.

He picked it up and put it back into the pile of apples in Aniya's arms.

"Hey, you stinky girl, stop here."

At this time, the shop owner also waved the wooden stick in his hand and chased after him, somewhat out of breath.

"Oops, it's really troublesome." Seeing the angry look on the store owner's face, Ania smiled bitterly, then picked up the apple and disappeared around the corner.

Seeing this scene, the shop owner could only blow his beard and stare, sulking on the spot.

"Are you okay, Lord Priest?"

"Oh, it's nothing." the old priest replied.

"Alas, we let those brats escape again." The shop owner said with some frustration, "To be honest, I still sympathize with those orphans. But if they keep doing that, how can I still do business? Alas..."

After hearing this, the old priest smiled and said nothing, then turned back towards the street where Aniya disappeared, looking over with a kind look.

In an abandoned warehouse in the west of the city, street children were sharing their harvest today.

"I really have you, eldest sister..." several street children said while nibbling the apples in their hands.

"No, it's nothing." Aniya replied nonchalantly while eating an apple.

The dozen street children in front of me were not actually Aniya's playmates who grew up together. To put it another way, Aniya was not born and raised here at all.

She just happened to pass by here when she was wandering around due to the war.

Not long after Aniya arrived in this city, a plague broke out in the local area, and many people died in this disaster.

The Bavarian Federation at that time immediately went to the Water Temple to ask for help. Soon the Water Temple provided them with medicines to treat the plague. However, since Timaeus was only a small city, not many people could get the medicines.

Not to mention street kids like them.

Barry, the leader of the street children who had helped Aniya here at that time, unfortunately contracted the plague and his life was in danger.

After learning that the federal army stationed here had medicines that could treat this disease, Ania ignored the opposition of others and sneaked into the heavily guarded military camp alone, stealing the medicines from there without any risk.

Not only that, she also stole enough shares for others.

In her words, all of us can be infected with this disease, so we should all share in it.

However, the medicine Ania brought could not save Barry from death. Although he had been given medicine, Barry's condition still did not improve, and he still had a high fever.

Before Barry died, he said to Aniya with some regret: "I'm sorry, the medicine you tried so hard to steal still can't cure me. I...I'm really useless. However, in this world...I'm afraid there is nothing better than...

You are a better person.

I really...hope...that I can be...with you in the next life."

This was the first time Aniya heard someone say such words to her, so she could no longer control her emotions, and tears immediately poured out of her eyes.

"Idiot, you are not allowed to say such things. I worked hard to help you get the medicine just so that you can meet me again in the next life?

Just hold on, I'll be fine soon...soon."

"I'm sorry, Anya... I'm afraid... I'm afraid I can't hold on much longer... God has already come to take me out of this world..."

"No, don't. There is no God in this world. If there was a God, how could there be so many people suffering? God cannot be trusted at all."

"Haha." Barry laughed weakly and said, "I said Aniya, I will always be with you after I die..., don't be afraid..."

"How could I be scared? Being with you will only make me feel more at ease."

"Well..." Barry nodded with difficulty, and then died peacefully.

"Anyway, it won't be long before I will be like you." Looking at Barry's body that gradually turned cold, Ania said to herself sadly.

"I think for a person like me, even if I die, no one will be sad. Forget it, this is life..."

The desperate Aniya had forgotten the extra medicine she had stolen, but strangely, even so, the plague did not take her away in the end.

"Maybe this is Barry protecting me."

On the day after the plague, Aniya sat alone on the roof of the abandoned house and thought blankly. But from that day on, she stayed in Timaeus and became the leader of the street children there.

"I said, tonight's goal is to go to the army warehouse. I heard that they have just arrived with a new batch of supplies.

We just happened to go there to try something new." After finishing the apple in her hand, Aniya finally said.

"Army? God, are you crazy, Sister? If you are caught, you will definitely die."

Several companions almost jumped in fright after hearing Aniya's suggestion.

"Forget it. The fact that a few of us can survive to this day is a blessing from God.

Everyone just go all out and have a good fight!"

In the end, everyone agreed to Aniya's proposal. That night, more than ten people took advantage of the darkness and sneaked into the army's warehouse.

But unfortunately, they were discovered as soon as they got close.

Then an overwhelming barrage of arrows greeted them.

"My God, people like this can really do anything." Regarding the reaction of the army, even Aniya, who had always been bold, felt her scalp numb. In desperation, she had no choice but to escape with her people, so that night

It can be said that they have gained nothing.

Early the next morning, Aniya and her companions were driven out of the long-abandoned house, and were replaced by a group of workers armed with shovels and hammers.

"Hey, let me go. We didn't do anything?"

Aniya was trying desperately to break free from the hands of a big man.

"Nothing was done? Someone sneaked into the army warehouse last night. Who could those people be if they weren't you?

Okay, okay, get out of here."

The big man said, lifting Aniya up and throwing her out of the house.

Then he waved his hand again, and the other people immediately took the tools in their hands and began to demolish the house.

Now Aniya was anxious, and she immediately shouted to the big man: "Wait a minute, what are you doing? This is the only place we live."

However, the big man ignored Aniya's words and continued to instruct his men to work hard.

After a while, he said to Aniya and her companions in a contemptuous tone: "Okay, you guys are lucky.

The church of the Temple of Water here plans to take in you poor people."

The church that the big man was talking about was actually a small building located in the west of the city. In addition to the four major cities where they are located, the four major temples have also established some small churches in other cities so that believers can believe in them.

Lord God.

After the street children were brought there, they mostly obediently changed into the monk's robes prepared for them.

But there is one exception, and that is Aniya.

Not only did she not want to change into the monk's robe, she also lost her temper and made a fuss.

But in fact, for Aniya, it was not a very difficult thing for her to wear a monk's robe, but what made her most intolerable was that she was asked to cut off her long shawl hair, which she would rather die than obey.

For her, this long hair is her lifeblood. At this time, Sister Rebecca in the church was holding scissors in her hand, intending to cut Aniya's hair short, but it was obvious that no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't.

The girl can't help it.

To be honest, she really couldn't understand that this cute girl in front of her looked like a real tomboy, and her temper was as stubborn as a cow's and unreasonable.

"Hey, stop it, stop it, do you hear me? If you dare to cut my hair, be careful that I fight you hard."

Aniya, who was grabbed by Rebecca, was holding Rebecca tightly with both hands to prevent her from cutting her hair, while kicking her wildly with her feet.

Such a big movement finally attracted the attention of the priest in the church.

So he hurried out to see what was going on. He was the old priest Maisel whom Aniya had bumped into a few days ago. Because he liked Aniya's cheerful personality, he decided to take her in.

"Rebecca, what on earth is going on?"

"This child refuses to cut his hair." Rebecca explained while grabbing Aniya who had been trying to run away.

"Then, it's ridiculous enough to wear such ugly monk robes, but you actually cut my hair, which I managed to grow.

I won't let you cut it until I die!" Ania said while still trying desperately to break free from Rebecca's hand.

"But if you keep your hair that long, it will be very dirty."

"I want you to take care of it. And if it gets dirty, you can wash it."

"Forget it, Rebecca, don't force her. Let her go."

"This..." Rebecca hesitated for a moment, but finally obeyed Priest Maisel's words and took Aniya to wash her hair.

But after washing, when she saw Aniya's long hair as beautiful as a waterfall, she changed her mind.

"Maybe it's a pity to cut it off." Rebecca thought as she helped Anya comb her hair.

"Well, I'm in good condition now." Looking at her clean appearance in the mirror, Aniya herself was a little proud, "It should be easier to steal things now."

"What! Are you still going to steal?" After hearing Aniya's words, Rebecca felt speechless for a while, "Aniya, if you live here now, you don't have to rely on stealing to support yourself, do you understand?"

"Ah?" Ania was stunned for a moment after hearing Rebecca's words, but she quickly reacted, "I understand. That's right, I am no longer a thief but a beggar, so of course I don't need to steal anymore.

Something."

"Beggars?" Rebecca didn't understand Aniya's meaning for a moment, so she subconsciously repeated. "Isn't it wrong? Doesn't the temple always rely on charity from others?"

"You child..."

"This, in fact, what she said is true to a certain extent." Priest Maisel on the side said with a wry smile.

"That's right, why refuse to admit your guilt?" Aniya's words at this time obviously had a tone of victory.

But no matter what, Aniya finally stayed in the church and lived with the priests and nuns inside.

"Being a beggar is the same as being a thief. Although life is a bit boring, it's not bad to have food to eat. If it doesn't work out, I can still run away. None of them can stop me anyway. Well, that's it." Ani.

Ya thought indifferently.

But Aniya didn't have a few days of leisure. Soon she was faced with something she hated all her life - going to school.

But she was disgusted, and finally when spring came, she was forced to go to school.

In fact, the school established in Timaeus was initially only for the children of military non-commissioned officers stationed there. However, because it could not recruit many students, it was finally opened to the children of the entire town.

However, although on the surface, this is a kind of comfort to this war-torn small town, after all, in this era, it is still very difficult for the children of civilians to go to school. But in fact, the fundamental purpose is to give this school

It is used to brainwash children in small towns, and also to show off their status to these civilians.

This can be seen from the contrast between the neatly dressed children of non-commissioned officers and the ragged civilian children, but no one among the locals can see through it.
