Strange Star Witch

The next day, when everyone woke up, they were surprised to find that their high fever and lung disease were cured.

The director of the almshouse looked around for Rudolph, and heard from Yin Fengna that Rudolph had bought a special medicine. When the director found Rudolph, Rudolph was leading a few people in with breakfast.

When the director saw it, she was even more moved. She and the nursing staff had just recovered from illness and were too weak to make breakfast. Mr. Vanya had even made breakfast.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Vanya, how can you be so kind? I bought you special medicine and breakfast."

"I feel ashamed to say it. I just don't want to see Yin Fengna so tired, and I don't have such good intentions. If you praise me as a good person, I will feel guilty."

After this bout of lung disease, the workhouse fully accepted Rudolph and Yin Fengna.

Yin Fengna won the recognition of everyone in the almshouse with her tireless care.

Although Rudolf seemed to be doing nothing all day long, Rudolf had money. He bought medicine and food, and became the second benefactor of the almshouse in one fell swoop.

The charm of money is always so simple and direct. It's hard to say who the children in the workhouse like more, the kind-hearted Miss Yin Fenggna and the candy-buying Mr. Vanya.

That afternoon, Rudolf was reading a newspaper on a chair at the door of the almshouse, searching for news about the Baron's castle in the newspaper.

Information science sometimes does not study high-end skills such as honey traps and bribery. Instead, information that is put on the surface is enough for people to infer useful information.

The blacksmith shop is recruiting workers and the Baron Castle is recruiting chefs, which proves that the Baron Castle is active. During the epidemic of pneumonia, the people in the Baron Castle stayed in the castle and did not go out, and were least affected.

Hadley walked out of the door, came to the door, and said: "Sir, thank you for the medicine, I have to leave."

Rudolf didn't even put down the newspaper: "Oh, go ahead. But don't join the parade of your fellow workers."

Hadley was stunned, but he didn't expect Mr. Vanya to guess what he wanted to do right away.

Hadley didn't answer and just left silently.

Rudolph looked at Hadley's back from above the newspaper and didn't say anything more. Everyone has their own choice. He continued to read the newspaper and occasionally glanced at the spiritual pet crystal to see what was going on with the preparations for the Baron Castle.

degree.

There were footsteps in the distance, Rudolph looked up and saw a group of people surrounding Ivy entering the almshouse.

The third young lady of the Thor family, after returning to Gassai Town, traveled a lot more luxuriously. Ivy just looked at each other and Rudolf, and continued walking into the almshouse without saying much to the guard.

A manager next to Ivy saw that Rudolph not only did not stand up, but also only glanced at Miss Ivy above the newspaper, and immediately said to the subordinate next to him: "Fire him immediately, immediately! After Miss Ivy came out

Before, I want to see the workhouse change its janitor!"

After the group entered the almshouse, a staff member from Thor Mining walked up to Rudolf and looked down at Rudolf on the chair: "You are fired."

Rudolf raised his head and understood something instantly: "What? You fired a volunteer? Can volunteers also be fired?"

The staff member didn't waste any words. He took out two banknotes from his arms and shook them. The banknotes made a clanging sound: "Here are 2 silver shields. Get out of here."

Rudolf stared at the banknotes and felt that he was being looked down upon: "I do my best for charity in Gassai Town. You are not humiliating me, you are humiliating charity."

The staff member took his hand back into his arms, and Rudolf suddenly felt regretful. 2 silver shields was his previous month's salary.

What made Rudolf happy was that the staff dug in his arms and took out two more banknotes: "4 silver shields, leave immediately. Can these insult your 'charity'?"

The banknotes rubbed against each other and made a pleasant swishing sound. Rudolph nodded happily: "A fair price! Charity is worth so much, no more! This money cannot humiliate me, but it is enough to humiliate 'charity'."

Rudolf took the banknotes, quickly put away the newspaper, stood up from the chair, and made a gesture of leaving.

This staff member was also anxious to find a new doorman, but he didn't take much care of Rudolph after he left.

Ivy entered the workhouse and after understanding the situation, she was very satisfied with the performance of the workhouse. Under the epidemic of tuberculosis in the town, not a single child in the workhouse died. You know, the children in the workhouse were already weak.

Beggars on the street.

Ivy praised the dean of the almshouse, and the dean also highlighted the two kind-hearted people who came to inspect the almshouse, Mr. Vanya and Ms. Yin Fengna.

Vanya was probably Rudolph's temporary pseudonym, and Ivy guessed it. She had met Yin Fenggna at Rudolph's side before, and she specially thanked Yin Fenggna.

A group of people, led by Ivy, left the almshouse again.

When going out, Ivy saw that the doorman at the door was not Rudolph, and asked: "Where was the doorman from before?"

The manager on the side was stunned and hurriedly looked for the subordinate who was doing the work. The subordinate was also sweating and hurriedly looked for the doorman who was driven away by him.

Miss Ivy seemed to know the doorman and deliberately waited at the door. It was hard for others to say anything.

When the subordinate found Rudolph, Rudolph was watching the miners' parade on the street outside. The parade started in the morning. The miners were on strike today, both the sick and the healthy.

Beside the noisy street, the subordinate said cautiously: "Sir, someone wants to see you."

"Go back and tell Miss Ivy that I just lost my job and am in a bad mood. There is no need to meet."

When the subordinate heard Miss Ivy's name, he realized that they really knew each other, and hurriedly said: "You can continue to be the janitor of the almshouse, and I can pay you three months' salary in advance."

After saying that, the subordinate took out 1 silver shield. With the income of the doorman, 1 silver shield for three months was not a small amount.

Rudolf shook his head: "Do you think you are sending the doorman away? The income of the doorman is okay, but what about my charity? Have you forgotten how much 'charity' costs?"

The subordinate reluctantly took out 4 silver shields again.

"That's right. It's Thor Mining's money anyway. You can reimburse it when you go back. Why are you so stingy?"

After going back and forth, he earned 8 silver shields in vain. Rudolph returned to the almshouse with satisfaction. Ivy motioned for the others to leave first.

Ivy said: "Thank you for letting me know that it was the vectors that directed the epidemic in Gasse Town."

Rudolf wrote to Ivy and told her about the cause of tuberculosis. Rudolf was too busy to treat so many patients, so he had to let Thor Mining worry about it.

"You're welcome, Yin Fengna and I like the soup kitchen very much. We are very busy and happy here."

Ivy asked: "Why are you here? Are you really interested in the almshouse?"

Rudolph helped Ivy and Thor Mining in the matter of tuberculosis, but Ivy still felt that Rudolph had some other purpose.

"Are there no good people in the world? Believe it or not, Yin Fengna and I really just like the almshouse."

Ivy knew that the wizard in front of her would not tell her his true purpose. As long as there was no threat to Thor Mining for the time being, Ivy was not prepared to interfere.

Ivy asked: "Where is the plague vector?"

"Oh, I solved it easily when I discovered it."

After hearing the news, Ivy walked out. After the group left, Rudolph continued to read the newspaper on the chair at the door.

Even though Rudolf was in the yard, he could hear the chants in the street outside.

Many of the miners fell down due to lung disease. Those who did not fall down were mobilized and participated in the march.

The miners' demands are simple. They want a better working environment, they want dust masks, they want upgraded ventilation systems, and they want better mining hospitals.

After another half day, for some unknown reason, crying and shouting suddenly appeared on the street.

Rudolf stood at the door and looked out through the iron door.

The security guards of Tor Mining Company and the patrolmen of the police station began to clear the streets. They threatened the miners with gunshots and smashed the miners' heads with batons. It was obvious that the police station of Gasse Town was on the side of Tor Mining.

Just as Rudolph was looking through the iron gate and shaking his head, a miner suddenly rushed close by and shouted: "That boy Hadley was running slowly and was caught by the security of Thor Mining!"

Before Rudolph could ask any more questions, the man ran away.

Rudolf shook his head. Hadley left in the morning and was arrested in the afternoon. Hadley must have recovered too quickly and ate too much.

Fortunately, Rudolf only lived temporarily in the Almshouse in Gasset Town, otherwise these naughty children would have annoyed Rudolf to death.

At night, Rudolf came to the office building of Thor Mining Company. He walked all the way to the basement. Thor Mining also liked to use the basement as a temporary prison.

In the basement, Rudolph saw Hadley who was beaten and dying.

Hadley had dozens of whip marks on his body, his clothes were in tatters, and the tears in his clothes were stained with blood.

Rudolph took out the note from Ivy he had just obtained and motioned to the guards to open the cell door. Two guards went in and dragged Hadley out.

The thatch and rags from the prison clung to Hadley's wounds, but Hadley didn't even groan.

Rudolf took a look deep into the prison. There were several miners inside. They looked at Hadley with envy or numbness.

Unexpectedly, Rudolf saw an acquaintance here, the miner Otto. His eyes were distracted, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

If you look closely, you will see that his eyes are not blurry, but that he is dead. I don’t know whether he died of illness or was beaten to death.

After hesitating, Rudolf did not remind the guards that maybe tonight or tomorrow, they would find out that Otto was dead.

He took out a silver shield, handed it to the guard, and then pointed to Hadley on the ground: "If you have any medicine, give him some."

I just made 8 silver shields from Thor Mining, and I got back 1 silver shield in the blink of an eye. I really can't keep my ill-gotten gains.

The guard happily accepted the money and went to get the best medicine for the wound.

In order not to beat the prisoner to death, the prison will prepare wound medicine. Applying wound medicine while whipping is the best method of punishment.

The guard's skills were very skillful, and Hadley's wounds were quickly bandaged.

Seeing that Rudolph was wearing a decent suit, the two guards took the initiative to lift Hadley up and walked upstairs.

On the first floor, Rudolph met Ivy again.

"Iron ore can only be mined for more than ten years. If it were a few decades ago, Thor Mining would definitely improve the working environment of miners, but now, I cannot convince those shareholders to agree to increase investment at this time."

Rudolph nodded and accepted Ivy's explanation. In fact, he didn't care about this.

In front of Ivy, the guards carefully put Hadley into the carriage hired by Rudolf.

On the way back, Hadley was shaken by the carriage, and the pain in his body became more and more clear at this time: "Mr. Vanya, why is the mining company willing to set up a workhouse, but not willing to provide a harmless shelter for the miners?"

working environment?"

"Hadley, you are just a young miner who has just started working, don't think so much."

After watching the two of them leave, Ivy turned around and walked up to the office building.

In the luxurious office on the top floor, Ivy saw her brother, Avery, the manager of Tor Mining's Gasse Town branch. Avery was wearing a well-dressed suit and tie even in the middle of the night.

"Brother, the company needs to pay for medical expenses to help the miners who are sick."

Avery was upset because of the strike: "No way, tuberculosis was caused by a vector, that's what you said. It's impossible for us to pay so much medical expenses because of the vector's crime."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If the working environment of the miners was not so poor, it would not be possible for them to be exploited by plague vectors."

Avery shook his head: "Ivy, you should stay with Deputy Speaker Abel and be the bridge between Deputy Speaker Abel and the family. This is your job. The iron ore matter is not something you should be involved in. I

I have agreed to your request to fund that joke-like workhouse every year, so don’t be willful anymore.”

"I have become a level 3 alchemist in Deputy Speaker Abel's laboratory. You don't need to worry about my affairs. What I am worried about is that if large-scale miners die in the iron mines, will it be easy for the parliament to pass it?"

Avery shook his head:

"Believe me, Ivy, we give so much campaign funds to the Speaker and Members every year, if something happens to us, some of them will be more anxious than us.

My stupid sister, do you know how much it costs to treat all the miners? The medical expenses for one person are even enough for us to hire 3 people.

The charred body of Doolittle the Plague Herald has been placed in the square, and he will be described as the cause of tuberculosis. The death of a miner is not a big deal, but if this year's report is ugly, it will be.

There is an undercurrent surging in Fabro City. We must increase activity funds this year. Where will these activity funds come from? Of course it will come from the iron ore.

In the coming turmoil, our Thor family must make arrangements in advance, otherwise, we will die without knowing how!

Don’t you know why Baron Huckham, who is over 60 years old, has been working so hard to get promoted recently?

Everyone is feeling the pressure. You have talent, but don't let it get delayed by irrelevant things.

Go ahead, stop worrying about the iron ore, return to Fabro City, and be the assistant to Deputy Speaker Abel with peace of mind."
