Chapter 4 Festivals


Every morning, as usual, I hold my wife in bed, go out for breakfast at noon, visit the vegetable market that is about to disperse, and at noon she often cooks rice and washes dishes.

When they are in a hurry, they will go to all parts of the city, and the most visited place is the seaside.

This is the aristocratic quarter, and ordinary civilians have to be questioned if they want to enter, but most of the soldiers patrolling will automatically let him go after seeing his demeanor.

There are many gorgeous villas with red tiles and white walls, and the roads and fences are very exquisite, where they watch the ships go away, and the seabirds fly back, until the sun renders a magnificent golden yellow at the end of the sea.

There was a small yard behind the dilapidated house where she lived, and a tattered swing was hung, Tang Yi found a time to repair it for Xiaoxue to play with, but unless Tang Yi talked to her on the side, Xiaoxue generally wouldn't sit down.

Xiaoxue doesn't like to play, because there is no atmosphere of play in the forest, and later, all her interests are put on Tang Yi, as long as Tang Yi is there, she is happy in everything she does.

In the evening, he also learned that the woman's name was Eve, and that there was no relationship between the boys who lived with him, and it was said that he had a good family in the past, but then the family fell into the middle of the road and contracted a disease, and there was nothing left overnight.

But the person is undoubtedly a good person, most of the children who have been taken in have physical problems, and they are basically struggling to survive on her income alone, because the diseases on her body may be contagious, she has always been extremely difficult to find a job, and often spend five or six times more effort than ordinary people to earn a salary, speaking of which, the income from performing with Tang Yi is the easiest money she gets.

As the day of the dawn festival approaches, the festive atmosphere in the city is getting stronger and stronger, and the festivities in the ghetto are often more lively and open than in the aristocratic districts, with parades, bonfires, performances in the open squares, and all the activities are being prepared.

During this period, a high-spirited deacon came to Tang Yi to prepare for the gala.

"Well, because we know that there is a good new illusionist here, and someone has recommended you, so we consider letting you perform at the party, as long as you perform well, the remuneration is absolutely not a problem, and it is possible to be selected by the big troupe, but you are not qualified to perform here for more than ten days, even if your performance is really ingenious."

The chubby deacon rubbed his fingers, apparently asking for a bribe.

Tang Yi is not surprised by this, as long as he dresses up a little, he believes that the people in his family will not recognize him, and the remuneration seems to be expensive, which is exactly what he wants.

However, just as he was about to take the money out of his pocket, the guy added: "However, your partner can't go up with you to perform, I heard that she has an infectious disease, no, no, no, this kind of filthy person who deserves to be burned in the fire can't go on stage."

Then the person was driven out directly in the shouting and scolding, if he said that the other party's piano skills were too poor, Tang Yi could understand, but just because he was sick and said that he would burn people to death, it was not within the range of what he could tolerate.

Three days before preparing for the New Year, Tang Yi began to stop performing, and he had already said hello to Eve, but Eve still sat in front of the door every night to play the piano and collect the pitiful few copper plates.

Tang Yi could feel that she seemed to be very anxious, or she was worried about something, but because most of the other party's troubles were money-related problems, and she was not rich, she didn't bother herself.

Caring for people once in a while is good for physical and mental health, but there is still a distance between you and the kind people who sacrifice themselves for others.

The things to eat for the New Year have been bought two days in advance, a lot of food, ready to make hot pot, a few new magic props, Tang Yi is ready to train and coax Xiaoxue to be happy, a few magic lights that will emit colorful light, and a cheap harmonica, although he is more proficient in playing the flute, but the refreshing and flexible sound of the harmonica may be more liked by Xiaoxue.

In the morning, I was still in bed, and last night I thought that another year had passed, and my heart was full of mixed feelings, and I was much more excited than usual.

There's no play here at night.,The only thing that can be used to kill boring time.,Naturally, it's only Xiaoxue's seductive body.,There's a beautiful woman who can hug at any time.,Even if you turn back your life, it doesn't matter.

Still holding the delicate and graceful carcass, Xiaoxue didn't know when she woke up, and was looking at him quietly with her big cute eyes.

Yawning, he kissed Xiaoxue lightly on the lips, turned around, and pressed her under him again.

"Good morning" Muttering softly, he suppressed his rapidly rising desire, struggled to get up, got dressed, and did a simple wash, Xiaoxue was already preparing breakfast, after all, there was basically nothing to sell outside at this time of day.

Loud celebrations came from outside the door.

After eating the nominal breakfast, it was actually past noon, and the two went out dressed up.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by Xiaoxue's overly beautiful appearance, when she got off the "Silver Viper", Xiaoxue began to wear a white cloak, which was tightly wrapped around her body and covered most of her face.

It's not the first time that Tang Yi has been called an illusionist, although Tang Yi always affirms that it's called magic, everyone thinks it's just some clever illusions.

The door next door was locked, and Eve and the children were out again, so it was always easier to find some work to do during the holidays.

Tang Yi hugged Xiaoxue and squeezed into the crowd of parades, led by all kinds of juggling teams in front, and the floats that followed behind were performing legendary stories that belonged to this world, princesses fought for love, and warriors wielded swords and slain dragons.

After a long tour of the entire slum, more performances were added from time to time.

Walking to the bustling business district around 3 p.m., you will occasionally see a huge handmade poster: "The Virgin's Oath Song and Dance Troupe will perform at the Danma Grand Theatre this month, time: .

Charge: "He really only knows the numbers.

The poster features the lead performer of The Vow of Virginity Nancy AASS 4509291; 8226;Issewn's portrait, because it is hand-painted, shows a somewhat blurred image of a woman, and the corners of her mouth are raised high, as if to give some kind of inauspicious warning.

Except for those selling snacks, most of the shops on the street were closed, crowded in the crowd, Tang Yi saw that a shop next to her was clearly busy with Eve's figure, she was still wearing the dirty soap-colored cloak, kneeling on the ground and struggling to scrub the floor with a rag, and two disabled children helping by her side.

Even though Danma's climate is higher than other places, it is a harsh winter, and the air is still cold, but she reaches out to wipe the sweat from her forehead from time to time, and does not forget to pull down her cloak from time to time to cover her slightly exposed head and face.

Something that was out of step with the festive atmosphere of the moment entered his heart.

It was neither sympathy nor sadness, but a kind of loneliness and silence that seemed to be far away from reality, and for a while, the noisy sound of the surrounding crowd seemed to have decreased a lot, and the things around him were experiencing an uncertain blur, and he tightened his grip on Xiaoxue's hand.

"Ah Yi, what's wrong?"

The sensitive Xiaoxue sensed that something was wrong with him and pressed closer to his body.

"Well, it's nothing, look there."

"Hey, it's the Eve sister who partners with you every day.

Are we going to help her?"

"No need."

Sighing, Tang Yi said softly, "We are here to play, not to do things."

Tell you, I heard that there is a very beautiful magic to watch at night, ah, it's a pity that there are no fireworks."

The fire of this world still seems to exist in the mind of some unborn genius alchemist, of course, he doesn't want to see fireworks, but he thinks that Xiaoxue may like it, in fact, he has always hated the noise of firecrackers, and has never felt that there is any festive atmosphere in it.

As the crowd continued to move forward, he turned the corner when he saw a boy crying and squeezing from the other side of the street, running towards the shop where Eve worked.

It was the only normal boy among the children, twelve or thirteen years old, and he looked good, but he was a little withdrawn and introverted, and it was said that he had been sick before, but with Eve's efforts, he was finally cured.

The boy ran into the shop, crying and talking to the three men, and then Eve stood up in shock, hurriedly closed the shop, and squeezed the boy down the other street.

"Xiaoxue, let's go take a look."

After all, he didn't want to see them in too much trouble, so Tang Yi and Xiaoxue followed far behind.

After passing through a few streets and arriving near the Danma Grand Theater, a group of people were watching the excitement in the distance, and when they squeezed in to take a look, he immediately understood what was happening.

It was the door of a nobleman's shop next to the Grand Theater, and the young man who lived with Eve was being stripped off his shirt and hung on the beams of the room and whipped, his whole body was covered in bruises, and his face was covered with blood.

The child's name was Sammy, the eldest of the children, and he was the most sensible of the children, but he was hanging here at the moment, and the reason they beat him was because he had stolen something.

"Damn pariah, you dare to come to the old man's shop to steal things, those valuable things can be touched with dirty hands like you, damn it, after stealing things, you dare to hide there and listen to the music of the virgin's oath, you really don't take the lord and me in your eyes, can you still jump down from the upper floor and beat me, first hit the legs and beat me hard, until you die" The shop is next to the Grand Theater, which is not far from the window of the Grand Theater from a balcony, and you can faintly hear the sound of rehearsals inside.

With the nobleman's scolding, the thugs around him showed no mercy, and one person in front of him whipped him, and from time to time someone beat the weak body with a stick.

When Eve saw this, she cried and threw herself on her.

As usual, they were crying and begging for mercy, and several thugs naturally did not stop, but the nobleman saw Eve's figure and walked over with a sneer: "Yo, it looks like a beauty, who is this kid you, you know, commoners dare to steal things in the nobles' estate, and no one can take care of it if they are killed directly."

But."

The nobleman smiled and picked up Eve's chin, put his hand into the cloak, looked at Eve's tearful face, and then wondered, "What is it?"

Lifting the cloak a little, the nobleman suddenly retreated two steps as if he was being scorched by fire, picked up a whip and whipped it: "If you are sick, how can a patient like you not be burned to death, if you infect the young master, the young master will not torture you to death."

The whip "snapped" on Eve's left shoulder, the cloth flew away, and blood splashed out, the nobleman still wanted to whip a second whip, Tang Yi hurriedly rushed out: "Stop" The shadow of the whip flew down, and then there was a sound of "brushing", and the cold light danced picturesquely, and while the long whip was cut to pieces, Xiaoxue, who was holding a Damascus knife, also rushed forward like lightning.

With the sound of the "bell", the nobleman seemed to have also practiced martial arts, and pulled out the sword on his waist in time, but it was finally cut off by Xiaoxue, and the person flew out two meters away, and Tang Yi, who reacted, hurriedly shouted: "Xiaoxue stop" This time it became hasty, and by the time everyone reacted, the nobleman had already fallen on the steps, and watched with frightened eyes as the woman in the white cloak walked back to Tang Yi's side, and held his hand affectionately: "You, who are you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just a misunderstanding" I don't know how to explain it, Tang Yigan smiled and shook his hand, "I know this kid, I believe that stealing things is just a moment astray, so I was killed, doesn't it seem that your belly is too small, I think it's enough, right, did he break your things?"

"That's not true" The aristocrat stood up with palpitations, his eyes fixed on the delicate and docile girl standing beside Tang Yi, if Tang Yi shouted a little later, he had no doubt that the terrible girl had rushed up and killed him, "But you say let it go, I'm not very faceless, you, who are you, which family are you?"

"Oh, I'm not a nobleman."

Tang Yi nodded, "But there is a Lady Catherine who is my friend, you see, can you sell face" He said while taking out the silver medal given to him by Lady Catherine from his arms, originally if the other party was too powerful, he didn't want to cause trouble to Lady Catherine, but he had heard that this person was just a viscount, and if he wanted to come to Lady Catherine's pomp, he should be able to afford it.

Sure enough, when he took the silver medal and looked at it, the man immediately turned pale, and then waved his hand: "Since that's the case, I'll give you a face, let me take good care of this guy, don't let him come out again, although there shouldn't be much chance" He glanced at the boy who was beaten and covered in blood, and called the beating entourage to leave.

By the time Sammy was untied from the beam, the boy looked dying.

"Sammy, Sammy, you, are you okay, does it hurt, does it hurt tell me how you feel, how can you do such a thing, even if we are short of money, but we can't do this, don't talk, don't talk, we'll take you to the doctor" Eve had already cried a lot, but it seemed that she was afraid of her illness, but she didn't dare to hug him, so she had no choice but to let Tang Yi hug the boy covered in blood.

Sammy coughed weakly, but her body was so badly injured that she only spat a few blood foams from her mouth.

Tang Yi hurriedly said: "Don't talk, it's important to find a doctor immediately, Eve, do you know where there is a doctor?"

"I know, I know that there is an old man named Sean in the lower third district, who is a very good person, and he collects less money for treatment, let's go find him" In this world, Tang Yi has felt the inconvenience of information more than once, the lower third district is not close to here, and it takes a lot of time to rush over, but most of the shops around here are closed, and he can't ask where there is a herbalist doctor.

As for the priests of the Light God Palace, most of them gathered near the prayer altar to pray at this time, and the distance was several times farther.

In desperation, he had no choice but to pick up Sammy and run to the slum known as the lower third district.

When I got there, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was setting low in the west.

When I went to Sean's house and asked, I found out that he had gone out to watch the show and had not yet returned.

Sammy seemed to be quite resilient, and he was still struggling to hold on.

The people hurriedly found someone to go out to look for the old doctor, and this time it was okay, and after a while, the man was found.

It was an old and kind old man, who saw Sammy's appearance and gave him first aid without saying a word, but after a while, he still shook his head: "This child is too badly injured, and all the organs in his body have been injured, and I can only do some superficial bandaging, I'm afraid it has been" Looking at his expression of wanting to speak and stopping, everyone naturally knew what was going on, and between the crying of Eve and the three children, Tang Yi finally knew the reason why Sammy went to steal things.

It turned out that these people were originally living together because of physical defects, and after treating the child named Randle, Eve felt that he had a flexible brain, so he scraped together a sum of money for him to go to a civilian school, and then every year when the school was about to start, everyone had to worry about his tuition for a while, and this year he saw that he would go to school after the New Year, but the tuition fee was still a big difference, and everyone was trying to find a way to pay for this money.

Sammy was so anxious that she thought of stealing.

Alas, people with ear problems go to steal, isn't this covering their ears and stealing bells Tang Yi thought in his heart, feeling a little sad, if he had known that such a thing would happen earlier, he should have been able to help them make up this cost, but now it would be in vain to say anything.

Running around with Sammy in his arms along the way, he was also tired enough, and at this moment it seemed that he had suddenly got an answer, he went into the inner room to drink water, rested for a while, and when he came out again, Eve was gone.

"Alas, I just said that if I invite the potions master, I'm afraid there is still some hope, Eve rushed out immediately, but the potions master's shelf, even the ordinary nobles can't move, can we find it":
