Remnant Blood Player
Chapter 73: Tom's cabin
Novigrad’s South Streets and Alleys, its actual area only occupies a small part of the entire city, but the population is not less than that of the Foya District bordering to the north.
also contributed to the congested living environment here. The width of the streets makes the distance between the adjacent buildings extremely narrow, and the neighbors can only meet the wine glasses by opening the windows for a chat.
Like Emir Street, it is already considered a relatively prosperous area in the South Streets and Alleys.
The further south, the congestion, poverty and stench here get worse. On Emir Street, you can at least see houses built with bricks and stones, or at least no buildings with exposed roofs.
But here, which is the Horseshoe Street where Li Nuo is now, you can see temporary buildings made of damp wooden frames and worn-out fabrics after a few steps. Often a family of five or six people live in this kind of shelter from rain and wind. In the shed.
Li Nuo, who saw this kind of life scene for the first time, had an inner feeling that these guys are just like beasts.
After coming here looking for the special smell on Tom's clothes, Li Nuo found that his nose was malfunctioning, because the smell of this place was almost the same as that of Tom.
It seems that I need someone to ask... Li Nuo thought so, his eyes scanned wantonly who could ask.
At this time, a hand hooked on Li Nuo's shoulder from behind, and a sloppy Qingnian with a fishy smell appeared beside Li Nuo.
"Friend, don't you see if you dress like this one?"
At this time, another man walked over and put his hand on the back of Li Nuo's head.
"As good-hearted people, we have an obligation to talk to you about the rules of doing things in this street~" The man pointed to the narrow alley beside him, "Brother and us are going over, it is not convenient to talk here~"
Li Nuo looked at the two elder brothers left and right, and then smiled modestly: "Well, it just so happens that I have something to ask you."
Some people watched Li Nuo being taken into the alley, all showing their sympathy for the thin young man with pitiful expressions.
"Unlucky guy, I ran into Brother Hollim just here..."
"Who told him to come here? If he is robbed of his wealth, he will have to be beaten."
A minute later, Li Nuo walked out of the alley alone.
Those who were in poor Li Nuo just couldn't help being a little surprised. How much money was given to the brothers before they were beaten?
At this time, the two Hollim brothers walked out of the alley behind Li Nuo with bruised noses.
"Brother, let's go ahead and show you the way." The person who spoke to Li Nuo just now said in a flattering tone. He is Brother Hollim.
"Brother, go slowly, the ground is slippery." The one who followed the flattery was Brother Hollim.
All the people present who witnessed everything frowned, and many of them looked towards the alley.
They are all wondering what happened in this alley in just a minute...
Under the guidance of the Hollim brothers, Li Nuo stood in front of a collapsed house a few minutes later.
The collapsed part of the house was covered by wooden shelves and dirty cloth.
"This is Tom's house." Brother Hollim said with a hump.
Li Nuo nodded, "Thanks, please lead the way."
The Hollim brothers smiled and moved back while leaving. After Li Nuo confirmed that the two had gone far, he knocked on the wooden door that had lost its skin.
After several knocks, a girl who may be less than ten years old opened the door.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Li Nuo asked: "Is this Tom's house?"
The girl was taken aback for a moment, then immediately closed the door, and at the same time heard the sound of a lock coming from behind the door.
Then the girl's shout appeared from behind the door, "Mom! It's not good! Someone is coming to trouble my brother! Let's run!"
How many people has this kid hired... Li Nuo walked to the place where the house collapsed, opened the covering cloth, and saw the girl hurriedly packing food on the table.
Li Nuo put his head in and coughed slightly, "That... Excuse me..."
After hearing the sound, the girl looked at Li Nuo, her mouth opened and her eyes gradually became demented.
"Ah!!!!!! It's coming!!!"
I'm not a **** old witch!
"Marfa, don't scream." A woman's voice stopped the screaming girl.
A woman sat up from the pile of debris, her appearance was very haggard, and she nodded to Li Nuo laboriously, "I'm sorry, sir, you are frightened."
"Marfa, go and open the door." The woman said to the girl named Marfa.
"No need." Li Nuo crawled in along the gap in the fabric.
Mafa began to scream again: "Mom, look, he doesn't go through the door, there must be a problem!"
Are you girl Jack! Li Nuo stood in the room sneered.
The woman smiled helplessly at Li Nuo in the face of her daughter's noise: "I'm sorry, Mr., I made you laugh."
"It's okay, ma'am, I have something to do with Tom, but don't worry, I'm not here for trouble."
"Jasmine Lane." The woman introduced, and then said: "I am the mother of Tom and Marfa. Although I don’t know what happened between you and Tom, but through words and your kind face, I believe you are not here. We are in trouble."
Li Nuo lowered his head slightly, "Thank you for believing, Mrs. Lane."
His eyes have been watching everything here since he entered this house.
chaotic and dirty, mosquitoes are proliferating, and it exudes a pungent mold smell, standard poor houses.
There are only three bowls on the cupboard. There is no male owner in this family. It belongs to a mother with two children.
But the appearance of this Mrs. Lane is a bit strange. She looks haggard, as if she is using all her strength to speak, but in this state, she still maintains the etiquette that is hard to see in the Nanjiexiang area, which is definitely not like People who grew up in such a place.
Tom’s family must live here. There must be something to do with this branch line and what happened behind his house.
At this time, Mrs. Lane said to her daughter: "Marfa, pour some water for this gentleman."
Mafa listened very much to her mother's words. Although her expression remained skeptical, she still picked up the cleanest cup, filled a pot full of cracks with water, and handed it to Li Nuo.
"Sir...your water..."
"Thank you." Li Nuo took the water glass, but saw that the water line in the kettle behind Mafa was almost to the bottom.
So he put the water glass on the table and did not drink.
There was a knock at the door.
"Marfa, I'm back!"
is Tom’s voice.
Mafa glanced at Li Nuo and then at his mother. After seeing her mother nodding, he opened the door of the house.
Tom walked into the house cheerfully, holding two bags of water in his hand.
"I brought water back...." He saw Li Nuo who was waiting here.
Mrs. Lane saw Tom’s unexpected look and said, "Tom, this gentleman has something to do with you."
"What are you..." Tom swallowed half of his words, put the water bag in his hand on the table, and said to Li Nuo: "Sir, let's go outside and talk."
After going out with Tom, he saw that this kid's face looked ugly like drinking a pot of Chinese medicine, "Sir, you followed me yesterday?"
Li Nuo smiled and shook his head, "No."
"Then how do you know my home!"
Li Nuo shrugged, "Just ask and you will know."
Tom said angrily: "Although you saved me, I did what you asked for. We should make a difference between us. I warn you, it doesn't matter how I am. You should not do anything to my mother and sister, otherwise... "
Li Nuo looked at Tom indifferently. Although this kid didn't do a good job, he paid attention to his family, and was clearly organized and had a lot of brain activity.
This kind of thinking about doing things at this age should be formed by innate conditions and acquired education, and I am even more convinced that the Tom family should not be residents here.
Looking at Tom suffocating his face and unable to say the second half for a long time, Li Nuo slowly squatted down and smiled and asked, "Otherwise, what are you going to do?"
Tom’s face was swollen like a ball, and he kept saying: "Otherwise...otherwise..."
Li Nuo suddenly laughed, rubbing Tom's head, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not malicious."
Tom was dumb, and asked: "Then... why are you still looking for me?"
Li Nuo said: "Tell me everything that happened in your family, if you want your mother and sister to have a better life."
