The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves
Chapter 23 The gears of fate begin to turn
When Ren was approaching the door of his house, he saw Anna, a neighbor girl in thin clothes, holding a small basket of things in her hands, waiting in the slightly cold autumn wind.
When she heard footsteps and raised her head to see Ren coming back, she immediately smiled, revealing a pair of sweet dimples, and stepped forward and said:
"Ren, this is a pie made with the wild blueberries and hazelnuts you gave me last time. I wanted to give it to you earlier, but Mint told me that you went to attend the servant training, and you only come back on Saturday nights every week. "
Looking at the small basket handed over by the girl, Ren's heart was deeply touched!
This girl with such a miserable fate always retains gratitude and goodwill in her heart.
That day, she just asked Mint to give her some wild fruits he had picked up, but the other party was thinking about how to give it back to him.
It was late autumn now, and the evening breeze was very cool after dark, but the girl in thin clothes was waiting for him at the door.
Looking at the five pieces of pie neatly arranged in the small basket, Ren didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a while, Ren muttered twice and said:
"You've given it to me, what about you?"
"I left a few pieces, enough for me to eat!" After the girl saw Ren taking the small basket, she smiled again, turned around and left slightly cheerfully.
Ren looked at the girl blankly and realized that he seemed to have forgotten to say thank you.
When Ren walked into the house, Little Mint looked at the little blue in Ren's hand, looked at him happily with a pair of big eyes and asked: "Brother, is this for me?"
Ren smiled and touched his sister's head. This is what your sister Anna did.
"Ah? Did sister Anna do it? No wonder she hasn't played with me these days. She said she went to help Aunt Mary."
"help?"
"Yes! Almost no one in the whole town is willing to hire Sister Anna to work. Occasionally, Aunt Mary will ask Sister Anna to help. Sister Anna is very poor, but flour is needed to make pies. Flour is very expensive. Sister Anna Only by helping can you earn enough money to buy flour.”
Mint looked at Ren with a pair of innocent big eyes and spoke clearly.
Ren looked at the pie in the basket and fell silent!
After the family dinner, Ren returned to his room early and lay down to rest.
But I was tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep!
Suddenly, Ren seemed to hear a faint exclamation coming from next door, as well as the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
"Anna's house?"
Ren's pupils shrank, and he immediately thought of the recent case of missing children in the small town?
Could it be that the gangsters are targeting Anna?
Suddenly, a rush of blood rushed to his forehead.
Immediately, Ren stood up from the bed with a sudden jerk, looked around, picked up the carpenter's hammer in the utility room, and ran out as quickly as a civet cat.
As he got closer to the door of Anna's house, the rustling voices that Renn could not hear at first became increasingly clear:
"This girl is pretty strong. Boss, after you do it, I'll give it a try! She's the only one in this family, don't worry, we'll have a wonderful night, hehe!"
"Grandma, I haven't seen such a tender one in a long time! I want it to be so good this time."
"Not to mention, Scarface, you can step on it this time! Apart from losing a little weight, this girl is quite beautiful!" Another voice called the boss sounded.
"After you finish it, you can continue to sell her to the Wilderness Brotherhood. They have recently raised the price, so you can get a good price."
"Boss, don't worry about me doing things! I pushed the cart all over the southern part of Goldsmith Town two days ago."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" It seemed that the girl Anna was crying with her mouth covered.
Ordinary people may not be able to hear it at this distance, but Renn, who has greatly improved his physical fitness recently, can hear it clearly.
"Crack!"
"Wow!"
The movement became more and more obvious, and from time to time there was the sound of earthen jars falling to the ground and breaking.
"hiss!"
There was the sound of linen being torn.
Ren stood at the door of Anna's house, restless in his heart. He wanted to rush in to save people, but at least two gangsters in Anna's room rushed forward rashly. If they failed, the consequences of failure would probably be to catch up with Anna and himself. Life.
The cold wind at night made Ren gradually calm down!
Calling the Night Watch now?
There was too much movement, and it was too late!
In addition, if the night watchman forces the opponent to jump over the wall, the gangster will even kill Anna directly.
Call your father for help?
Thinking of his father's old face and stooped body, Ren shook his head and erased the idea from his mind.
Renn once again looked at the carpentry hammer in his hand that had a pointed end and a rounded end. This hammer was used by his father to repair old furniture at home. Although it was old, it was well preserved.
Ren turned the pointed end upward, hid the hammer in his slightly wide cuff, stepped forward and knocked on the door:
"Dong dong dong"
"Ana, are you home?"
There was a sudden silence in the room, and an extremely subtle conversation could be heard. If Renn's hearing was not extremely sensitive, he would not be able to hear it at all.
"Boss, let me go take a look. It sounds like a kid. How about I catch him directly?"
"Scarface, get rid of it as soon as possible. You'll have a good time at night. Don't make too much noise!"
"Fuck, this little girl is quite strong despite being skinny!"
Dull footsteps sounded in the room. It seemed that the person inside first looked outside through the crack in the door. After confirming that there was only a young kid outside, the other party opened the door with a "creep".
What caught Ren's eyes was an unfamiliar face. There were no scars on his face, and he didn't know why he was nicknamed Scarface.
The curly yellow hair and tall and strong figure gave Ren a faint sense of oppression.
At this time, the opponent's hand was still on the hilt of the sword at his waist, with a wary expression.
"Kid, what are you doing?" The other party looked at the short and thin kid carefully with fierce eyes. After confirming that he could not pose any threat to him, he said quite relaxedly.
"Who are you? I...I'm here to find Anna. Isn't this Anna's house?" Renn pretended to be timid and said with a horrified expression.
"I am Anna's uncle. Anna and her aunt have left Goldshire. This house will belong to me from now on. You don't have to come back again." Scarface forced a smile and lied casually. Like a weird uncle who deceives children.
"Why did Anna leave so suddenly? She didn't even say goodbye to us." Ren lowered his head and murmured, clenching his fists as if he was unwilling to accept that such a young relationship ended before it even started.
If it were normal times, Scarface might have teased the kid in front of him, but now, he was in a hurry to get down to business and was not in the mood to chat with a kid.
"Okay, let's go quickly!"
After digging around his crotch, Scarface waved his hand impatiently, signaling Ren to leave quickly.
"Well, okay, but this uncle of Anna's family, can you help me bring a small gift to Anna."
"Huh? You can bring it." Scarface was stunned, but he didn't think much and stretched out his hand.
He wanted to get rid of this annoying brat as soon as possible.
I saw the small hammer slipping from Ren's cuff to the palm of his hand, and was held tightly in an instant.
At the same time, Ren continued to say calmly: "I have prepared it for Anna."
Just when Scarface was about to listen to what Ren had prepared, he bent down slightly and was about to take what Ren was holding, but he felt his eyes blurred and he couldn't see the kid's hands clearly.
Suddenly, Scarface's heart palpitated and his scalp became numb.
A strong wind blew in his face, and the strong wind pressure caused the curly yellow hair on the scarred face to fly freely.
A small black dot appeared in Scarface's sight, and suddenly expanded and became larger. It was a small pointed hammer.
