Section 190: The Central and Provincial Trip (3)
A long time ago, Marin heard this saying, life is like a journey, what matters is not the destination, but the scenery along the way.
Although the words are correct, in this hellish world, the scenery along the way will become your painful memory at any time. When the train passes through the Lodis Plains and reaches the town of Gemen, which is close to the central province, the people sitting in the car
Marin looked at the flow of refugees along the way and shook his head.
The past year has not been peaceful in the northern countries. There have been almost all natural and man-made disasters. The Chaos Sect held a party there, and hundreds of thousands of people died. Judging from the accents of the refugees, they were all Yankees.
"I have always felt that Carter's Castle is too peaceful." Logan said with emotion as he looked at the crowds of people outside the window: "I have always wanted to leave Carter's Castle and see the big city. I don't want to be a country bumpkin...",
Having said this, he smiled and sighed: "I'm sure that if my thoughts are known to them, the people who have escaped from these northern metropolises will definitely rush to exchange each other's fate with me."
"My father did not allow the refugees to enter the central province, and he must have been worried that there might be seeds of chaos among them." Faye looked at the man walking with his family on the road beside the railway: "I don't know if they are
How did they come all the way? This place is thousands of miles away from their hometown."
"In order to survive, people often do feats that others cannot understand." Marin said while looking at the color spectrum in front of him. These refugees had signs of being corroded by Chaos.
Because of the high consumption of psychic energy, Marin quickly canceled the spell. At this time, a group of mounted policemen came from a distance, and they began to maintain order on horseback.
In Marin's view, Carter's Castle might have a place for them, as long as they can work hard - the second phase of the processing plant absorbed many refugees, and they cherished the job that could support their families, which made Marin
There is a change of opinion about the Yankees.
In previous chats, everyone said that Yankees, especially those abroad, are very stubborn and do not know how to adapt. Now it seems that in order to survive, people are always willing to make changes.
Marin's education made him understand that people always need to use labor to obtain the necessary materials for survival. Marin will not treat workers as numbers and work as profits like the people he hates, but not workers.
There will be no food for sure, and the lazy man will surely die no matter where he is.
"Locust plagues, snowstorms, and chaos invasions will obviously make the entire northern territory very difficult. But having said that, our factory has received a large number of orders. The army in the northern country needs food that can be stored for a long time. Do we need to increase the price?
"Lilim turned to look at Marin.
"Let's make a good relationship. I'm not the kind of hungry ghost who can break bones with my own hands just for a bit of bone marrow." Marin did not agree with this: "But I believe that my mentor will make the right choice and let him
Let's deal with it with Colin, I believe he won't bring the whole group into hell."
This time, Marin had made up his mind to go to the Central Bank Province to play, so it was better to talk less about work.
After the train added enough water and coal, and provided some bread and fresh meat to the dining car and Marin, the train continued to move forward.
When Marin left, he gave a check of 10,000 to the local bishop of the Harvest Goddess Church who rushed to the station, and asked him to be responsible for recruiting some refugees who were willing to work in Carter Castle. In this group, children can be sold for one dollar.
, going to the south to get a manual job with a monthly salary of ten yuan should be similar to dreaming.
The bishop expressed his respect for Marin's generosity, and Marin shook hands with him and said goodbye.
On the way out, Marin saw a few children sitting on the roadside with a small sign in front of them clearly marking each other's value.
Marin stopped, looked at them, and finally walked away.
He could save these children, but there were hundreds of these little things along the way. Even if he packed the whole train, there wouldn't be enough space to put them down.
Moreover, there were not only hundreds of children like them in this town, but also many more little mouths waiting for food. All Marin could do was to call the bishop and hand over a check for 20,000 yuan.
After asking him to take care of these children, Marin finally got on the train that had started to move.
"I think we should charge this money to the city hall's account." Faye smiled as he looked at Marin walking onto the train car.
"It's up to you." Marin nodded and sat down in his seat.
"Sometimes I'm really confused. Your kindness is visible to the naked eye, but you don't seem to be satisfied with what you do. Marin, you are a mortal, not one of those legendary benevolent people." Jessica looked at her hand.
While reading the novel, he raised his foot and lightly kicked the toe of Marin's shoe: "What are you thinking about, Marin."
"I just looked at those children and felt that they were very pitiful." Marin did not shy away from this. He knew that Jessica was not saying that his kindness was wrong. The werewolf girl just felt instinctively that all this was not her turn.
Her Marin is just here to take care of it: "I feel that no matter how hard I try, I can't make all the children in this world hungry."
"You have done a good enough job. In many places, children are not even considered as human beings. In the Eastern Province, they even allow twelve-year-old children to do adults' work and only pay half the wages.
And then they euphemistically call it treating them as adults." Faye sighed after saying this: "Marin, sometimes I really doubt where your ideas come from."
Marin didn't answer - this was the reason why he couldn't wait to come out and really see the world, because although Carter Castle was not good enough in many aspects, in the mouths of the refugees, the only difference between here and paradise was probably
There is only eternal life.
This made Marin want to see with his own eyes how the outside world was different from hell.
"Marin." Faye sat next to him.
"It came from my dream." Seeing the curiosity on the girl's face, Marin could only make up one.
"You lied." Faye insisted on Marin, frowned, and then shook his head: "My heart tells me that you did not lie to me."
"Of course, I'm not lying to you, this is a story I made up." Marin smiled and reached out to pinch Faye's face, and then the girl bit her.
Marin wasn't angry, he just finished being bitten by the girl, then reached out and rubbed her head.
"I know, you said you were starving when you were picked up by Guyat." Faye said while looking at Marin.
"Yeah, I was so hungry. I ate two pieces of black bread as big as my head, and I was only four times full." Marin mentioned his past and smiled awkwardly.
To this day, Marin regards that day as the day he misses the most. On that day, he had a father in name only, and a sister who transcended blood ties. All this time, Marin had no home, and the orphanage where he was a child
It was torn down, her childhood sweetheart died, and everyone who had lived together in the hospital was separated.
For Marin, home has been just the 60 square meters where he lives for a long time.
It wasn't until that day that his family became complete, so when he realized that his power was far greater than before, he was eager to prove that he could indeed give children who were in a similar situation to him...a better life.
At least... I can eat enough.
"We will all support you." Faye looked at Marin: "I was born in the Moweish family. In the eyes of others, this should be a very happy life, but who would have thought that I am just one of those so-called
Goods in the eyes of nobles... Until now, I hate my home in the central province. My childhood was in Parole City. When I grew up, I came to Carter Castle. The gods had mercy and made my dream come true.
Xu wish, let me see you. So, if you want to help those poor children, I will also help you."
"Aren't you always helping me?" Marin said with a smile.
"We just feel that if we don't remind you, you will forget." After Faye finished speaking, she snorted, and at the same time, the girl suddenly opened her ears: "What is the sound?"
"What's the sound?" Marin pricked up his ears and could only hear the wheels rolling.
Lilim listened for a while and shook her head: "I couldn't hear anything, I only heard the sound of wheels."
"I didn't hear anything." Jessica looked around and then continued to read the book in her hand.
Marin looked her up and down: "Jessica."
"What? Are you suspecting that the sound was made by me? How is that possible! I didn't hear anything!" The wolf girl's eyes widened.
Marin pointed to the book in her hand: "I mean, you took the book down."
The wolf girl hurriedly turned the book over once.
Marin stood next to the wolf girl and picked her up from her seat.
Faye opened the seat panel and saw three cubs devouring food in the mezzanine below.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense. Lilim looked at Jessica as if she was seeing a human trafficker.
Cross did a mental calculation: "If we calculate it according to the price of the underground guild, these three little brats probably won't be able to sell for a good price."
"Hey, why do you say that?" Lilim expressed a certain degree of curiosity.
"They are too thin. If I were the boss, I would not be able to spend half the money to let them do the work that adults can do, because they will die soon and I will lose everything." Klose said.
, while noticing that one of the little guys suddenly hiccupped: "He's choking."
Marin threw the wolf girl aside, started patting her on the back while holding the little thing, and then helped him drink some water.
"You were still saying that Marin was too kind." Faye looked at Jessica with a solemn expression: "How can you be so inconsistent? Where did these three children come from? Is their mother looking for
them!"
"Yes, I bought it!" Girl Wolf scratched her head, and then took out the purchase certificate from her pocket: "Look, this is the certificate issued by them. I just think they are so pitiful. They were originally
I want to give them something to eat and send them to an orphanage when we get back to Fort Carter."
"We are going to the central province, not back to Fort Carter." Faye said and looked at Marin: "You have the final say on this matter, Mr. Marin. You must teach this big-tailed wolf a lesson."
"...Then let her take care of these three children." Marin gave such a punishment.
"Aren't you going to drive us away?" A child who had eaten enough raised his head and asked Marin.
"Yes, although I really want you to go back to your parents, but now the train has left the town, and you are also the property of your sister Jessica, so... we decided not to drive you away, but let you
Your sister Jessica will take care of you until you can take care of yourself." Marin said, looking at the three children.
After saying that, Marin turned to look at Jessica: "Do you think it's fair for me to do this?"
"Thank you." The wolf girl said with gratitude.
"Don't thank me yet, remember, if you starve them, I will kick you out of the house, got it." After Marin finished speaking, as for the future of these three children, Marin would also look at Jessie
