Baoyin and Captain Richard saw the woman's dilemma. . So the two men jumped off their horses. . Tie the reins of their two horses together. . . Twisted into a rope. . . At the same time, I found a place nearby. . Tie the rope directly there. . This is double insurance. . But they also believe in the security of Holy Light City. . You won't lose your horses in the city. . .
Fortunately, their horse's reins were long enough. . Even so. . It also leaves enough room for the two horses to move around. . .
Baoyin and Captain Richard took off the things. . Mainly because of the towering Soul-Eating Flag. . . There are also some packages. . .
"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"
The woman didn't ask them what they were holding. . .
Go inside the house. . The two people took a brief look. . . I found that the layout and utensils used in this woman's house were very simple. . .
Go inside the house. . . The first thing I saw was a wooden table. . There are several wooden chairs placed next to the wooden table. . They are all the most common and basic furniture. . .
Two people walked in. . The woman greeted them warmly from sitting on the wooden chair. . . Boil some hot water for them to drink. . .
Baoyin and Richard were still looking at this place. . .
The wooden table and chairs looked like they had been used for many years. . . The paint on it has almost fallen off. . . Some of the edges and corners have been rounded off. . .
Take a look around. . What Richard saw was only some very basic furniture. . One stove still burns wood. . All that's left are some jars and jars. . . Forget about the silverware. . . Even metal utensils are rare. . .
After the water boiled, the woman took two pottery cups and filled them with water and handed them to the two people. . .
The woman also sat down. . He said with some embarrassment: "My home is relatively simple... I hope you don't mind..."
Baoyin and Captain Richard both smiled. . .
The woman looked at the two people and said: "Actually, I have already prepared for the worst... My husband has been missing for almost a month... There is no news... There will be no trace of the living person or the dead body... Because I am not sure about the worst. He understands... If he is still alive... he will definitely try his best to come back... and will not leave me here alone..."
As she spoke, tears welled up in the woman's eyes. . . .
Baoyin quickly stood up and walked next to her. . Patting her shoulder to comfort her. . .
Captain Richard asked: "According to your age, you should have children... Do your children know about this?"
The woman shook her head and replied: "We have a son... He is 17 years old this year... He doesn't know about this... And he is not in the City of Holy Light now... He has entered the reserve team of the Royal Guard... Now he has been sent to garrison at the northern border of the Holy Light Empire... He has only been away for less than three months... I heard that according to the garrison requirements of the Royal Guard... it will take at least two years before he can come back. . . ”
The woman took a sip of hot water. . Relaxed a bit. . .
Baoyin put his arm around her shoulders and asked, "Can you tell us how your husband disappeared?"
The woman nodded. . Put down the water glass. . She began to remember. . .
"That incident... I still feel a little strange... I once stopped my husband... But you have also seen... The situation in my family... Not to mention that the family is completely destitute... So my husband will not Give up any opportunity to improve family conditions..."
The woman continued: "That was about a week after the fire... There was a rumor in the streets at that time... Because the fire happened suddenly... so not many people escaped... even if they did. Escaped... most of them left home cleanly... Basically, they didn't take any of their belongings with them... After all, in that situation... As long as I can survive, I'm lucky... How can I take care of my own belongings? ... So there were a lot of ownerless inheritances... At that time, some people went privately to the ruins to look for the leftover belongings... As a result, the news spread more and more widely... One day my husband also heard the news... At first... he still didn't believe it... It seemed that the fire was so big... even the house was burned to ashes... what valuable things could be left? Come down... Besides, that place is now under the jurisdiction of the Royal Guards... It is the scene of the fire... It has been protected..."
Baoyin and Captain Richard were both listening carefully to the woman's words. . Afraid of missing any information. . .
The woman continued to recall while drinking water: "But then something happened... which completely changed my husband's mind... and made him join the team looking for property..."
"Oh? There is such a thing..." Baoyin said. .
The woman nodded and said: "My husband just came home that day... Then someone came to visit... We still felt strange... Who came here so early in the morning... My husband didn't even have time to have breakfast. We opened the door and found out that the person who came was his former colleague. He was also a night watchman. His patrol area was adjacent to my husband’s patrol area. We bumped into each other several times every night. ... So we gradually got to know each other... But one night it was his turn to patrol... But he drank and fell asleep on the street that night... As a result, a robbery happened in the neighborhood he was responsible for that night. . Later he was fired from the night watchman because of this incident..."
Although this is Holy Light City. . . It is the capital of the Holy Light Empire. . But there will always be some people willing to take risks. . . It's just that the fate of these people is miserable. . .
As the woman spoke, she did not forget to take a look at the reactions of Captain Richard and Baoyin. .
"This time we thought he was the same as before... We wanted my husband to help us plead for mercy... He had come to my husband several times before... But there was nothing we could do about it... First of all, he made a mistake first. ...And this is the decision of the Royal Guards...It's not something we can control...I thought this time he came to be tough...But this time he came and sat down directly on the chair. He said that he knew a way to make a fortune... I came here specifically to tell my husband... My husband and I didn't believe it at first... because this person has always loved drinking... and has nothing to do... He is already in his 40s. He... He hasn't started a family yet... He usually lives day to day... So we didn't care about what he said... But then he took out a bag directly from his pocket... That one The bag was thrown on the table... It made a clanking sound... We were sure that the sound was definitely the sound of coins... Then he opened the bag in front of us... As a result, my husband and I were dumbfounded. ... That bag was actually full of gold coins... It looked like there were hundreds of them... My husband works as a night watchman... After one year... it's considered good to earn 5 gold coins... . And there are easily more than a hundred gold coins in his bag... enough for my husband to work for 20 years..."
