How about it? Darren, how do you feel? Lucy asked looking at Darren expectantly, feeling her heart suddenly lifted into her throat.
Christopher also stared at Darren. Although he didn't expect much from Darren who had just eaten a roasted pig's eye, he still wanted to know if it had any obvious effect.
Darren felt it carefully, shook his head and said: "I...I feel like my eyes feel a little cold, but I still can't see them now."
"Still can't you see..." Lucy looked slightly disappointed.
"Don't worry, I just ate one. Come on, eat the remaining nine skewers. Grandpa, I went home and slept for a long time before my eyes got better. No matter how good the medicine is, I have to give it to it." It takes time for it to work." Christopher said with a smile: "And the eyes feel cool, which means the roasted pig eyes are still working. After this meal, let's have another meal in the evening."
"Yeah." Lucy and Darren nodded at the same time, with smiles on their faces.
Lucy carefully fed the remaining roasted pig's eyes to Darren. With the experience of the first one, Darren quickly successfully caught the pig's eyes and chewed the eyeballs happily.
"Is it really that delicious?" Lucy looked on with confusion. The sound of her eyeballs being bitten by Darren could be heard clearly. She could even imagine the terrifying scene of eyelids splattering in her mouth, but it didn't happen. Lun had an expression of enjoyment on his face, as if he was enjoying the process.
It didn’t take long for Darren to finish all the nine skewers of roasted pig’s eyes.
"belch."
Darren burped, ate a portion of Yangzhou fried rice, and ate so many roasted pig eyes that his stomach felt a little full.
What surprised him was that wisps of coolness gathered in his eyes, as if there were countless rays of light trying to pierce through the darkness. There seemed to be a layer of looming white behind his originally dark eyes.
However, the intertwining of black and white was like a whirlpool, making his head feel a little dizzy, and his eyes began to close unconsciously. As long as he was given a bed, he felt that he would fall asleep immediately.
"Darren, are you okay?" Lucy noticed something strange about Darren and asked with concern.
"Sister, I'm fine, I just feel so sleepy and want to take a nap..." Darren shook his head, yawned, and fell sideways towards Lucy.
"Darren?! Darren!" Lucy quickly stretched out her hand to support Darren, shouting in panic.
"He's fine, he just fell asleep. Just take him back and sleep until he wakes up." Elizabeth happened to walk to the side, stretched out her hand and tapped Darren's brow, and looked at Lucy and said.
"But he..." Lucy still couldn't understand why Darren suddenly fell asleep and seemed to have fainted.
"Don't worry, it's probably the roasted pig's eye that's working. Look how peacefully he sleeps and his breathing is steady. It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with him at all." Christopher also smiled and drank the remaining rum in his hand. Then he stood up and helped Lucy lift Darren up and walked towards the door, saying at the same time: "Let's go back to my house first and let this child have a good sleep."
"That's really troublesome for you." Lucy said gratefully, putting most of Darren's weight on her shoulders and slowly walked towards the door.
After getting on the carriage, Lucy laid Darren down on the seat. Listening to his weak snoring, which was no different from sleeping on ordinary days, she felt relieved and looked at Christopher who was sitting next to him and said: "Old man Sir, will Darren's eyes be fine after he wakes up?"
"I can't guarantee it now, but judging from his reaction, roasted pig eyes should still be effective." Christopher shook his head and looked at Darren who was sleeping peacefully. He also hoped that the little boy would be able to see his eyes again after he woke up. bright.
"By the way, old gentleman, I will give you the money for the rice and roasted pig's eyes we had earlier." Lucy took out a money bag made of rags from her arms and poured out a bunch of it. Coins, mostly copper coins, were mixed with a dozen silver coins and two gold coins.
"This is the money the villagers collected for Darren's medical treatment. I don't know if it is enough. If not, I will find a job in the City of Chaos in the next few days and work part-time to return the money to you." Lucy raised her hands Holding all the coins, he looked at Christopher with clear eyes.
Christopher looked at Lucy's clear eyes. It must be the first time for the little girl to leave the country and bring her younger brother to the city of chaos. After thinking for a while, he took a gold coin and a copper coin from Lucy's hand and said with a smile: "That's enough."
"Do you only need that much?" Lucy was a little unsure. She couldn't read, so she didn't know what was written on the menu. There was no need for money in the village, so she didn't have much idea about money, but she looked at it. It can be concluded that the cost of this restaurant is definitely not low.
"Yes." Christopher nodded.
"Thank you." Lucy put the remaining money back into her purse and carefully put it away close to her body. These were collected by the villagers and she must return them to them when she returns.
Along the way, Christopher briefly asked Lucy about their situation and learned that the two children had become orphans, and he couldn't help but feel even more pity.
The carriage stopped and Christopher stood up and said, "Get out of the car. My house is here. Let's take Darren to have a rest. It's time for you to have a good rest too."
The coachman helped carry Darren out of the carriage, and the housekeeper took them directly to the guest room.
The luxurious manor was lined with buildings. Lucy followed the housekeeper and carefully looked around. She didn't expect that Mr. Christopher's home was so spacious, with more houses than in the village.
"I heard them say that you brought two children back. What happened?" As soon as Christopher entered the house, the old lady came forward to greet him and asked.
Christopher took the old lady's hand and entered the house, while saying: "The two poor children I met on the way back from the gold shop in the morning..."
"It's really not easy at such a young age." After listening to Christopher's words, the old lady couldn't help but sigh, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and stood up: "I'll go see those two children."
"Let them rest first. They probably didn't get much rest on the road." Christopher grabbed her and shook his head with a smile.
"But if you give Dorothy's clothes to that little girl, I'm afraid she will be unhappy when she comes back. You also know her temper." The old lady said a little worried.
"Her temper is not something you two got used to. I still have the final say in this family. No matter which generation you belong to, you must have a tutor, otherwise even if you have some money, it will not last long." Christopher said with a straight face. road.
The old lady hesitated and did not dare to say anything more.
