Ezio thought he could adapt to this environment, and in fact he did. No matter how tired he was or how hungry he was, he didn't think about going back to that home.
In addition to going to every house early in the morning to deliver night incense and helping with laundry, I sometimes get the job of delivering messages. But basically they are all insignificant personal messages, such as who asked someone to go home for dinner and not to meet each other tonight.
For several days, Ezio became the hardest working among the children. Naturally, speech carries some weight.
The reason is simple: the other children are malnourished and dying. Even if the little fat man is hungry for a few days, the foundation he left behind will still be there. He is the strongest and most flexible among the children.
Therefore, Ezio's demonic temperament, which he led Kish and the three little demon cats in the past and turned a family upside down, is gradually awakening among these children. However, he still couldn't overcome the eldest child who had been taking care of these children for a long time──Rowan. But there is no conflict between the two. At most, most children will still follow Rowan's instructions.
But another thought shook his determination not to return to that home.
Not only was he always hungry, but so were the other children, especially those who were more or less sick. Especially on the first night, the girl who gave herself a small piece of black bread──Lucy, was in even worse physical condition.
Of course, Ezio didn't know how to treat illnesses, but that didn't stop him from understanding that the girl was in poor health, as if she might die at any time. Even though he was just a child, in the magician's house, he also understood what death was like.
It's just that Ezio didn't care about the death of most people. The only thing that concerned him was the aging black dragon; now there was another person. As for that annoying magician, just die as soon as possible.
That night, another person had trouble sleeping, holding his stomach and making a rumbling sound. These children had learned not to cry a long time ago. But when they feel uncomfortable, everyone can't help but moan.
Enduring the feeling of hunger, Ezio stood up and crawled to Lucy's eldest brother, Willy. He patted it gently and compared it outwards. The latter followed him out knowingly.
"Ezio, is there anything we can't talk about inside?" Willy asked.
"I know there is a place with food. What do you want, do you want to go get it with me?" Ezio asked.
As soon as food was mentioned, several voices came from the side, asking: "Where is it? Where is it? Where is the food?"
Willy's eyes light up when he hears something to eat, unlike his other companions. Looking at this hesitant companion, Ezio was not in a hurry to deal with the others, but continued to persuade: "There is fluffy white bread there, and there are many delicious things. If I want those things, Lucy I’ll also like it and eat more. How about it, do you want to go?”
Willy's attitude became less insistent when it came to his sister. But he still asked worriedly: "Are you going to steal food?"
Ezio patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the people living there are stupid and lazy, no one will find us."
It can only be said that the children's thoughts are not that complicated. Under Ezio's instigation, coupled with the fact that they are hungry, several children, including Willy, are willing to take this trip with Ezio. But someone asked: "Do you want to tell Rowan?"
Ezio frowned and said, "No need. Just wait until we get the food back and share it with him. What will he say about our efforts?"
Everyone had made up their minds, maybe they were starving, and no one had any objections to following Ezio. A group of children just took advantage of the moonlight and trotted through the dim streets.
Most children are quite familiar with this road they have lived on for some time, so it doesn't take much light for them to know where to land. As for Ezio, he was simply used to running in various situations in a home with traps everywhere. Sometimes it’s chasing cats, sometimes it’s hiding from people, and sometimes it’s both.
Although Ezio's activities ranged before, he rarely left that home. This time he walked down the street, and the group of children were there by chance, but it didn't mean that he had forgotten the way back. Even though he had gone around east and west, in the dark night, relying on the moonlight, he still found the shortest path home.
Under the moonlight, the building that had been added many times looked so silent. There was no light coming out of the window, indicating that the people at home had already gone to sleep... This was common people's perception. Ezio knew, however, that it was just an adjusted light, limited to a certain range. Nothing can be seen from the outside.
The wall surrounding the courtyard is not the original stone wall built, but a row of dwarf trees specially planted by Hallumi to replace the original wall. Don't think that plants are not threatening. That weird sister, the flowers and plants she grows are all for meat.
But somewhere on the wall, there is a cat hole where the demon cats come in and out. This was dug out by the demon cats themselves and was not left there intentionally, so those people should not be aware of the existence of this entrance.
After leading his friends through the cat hole, Ezio ran toward the kitchen in a familiar manner. No one would be in the kitchen once the magician's midnight snack had passed. And in order to deal with the magician who has an abnormal schedule, there will be prepared food in the kitchen that can be eaten at any time. Ezio wanted to get those.
Because the kitchen uses fire, it was initially separated from the main building. After a certain magician moved in, he didn't deliberately change the layout. This is good news for Ezio and other children. At least they didn't have to worry about crawling into the mansion and risking being caught by the night watchers, looking for any place where food was kept.
The doorknob of the wooden kitchen door is a bit high for the children, and this was done deliberately to prevent a few little ones at home from breaking in. After all, fire is used inside, which is dangerous for children who don't know whether to live or die.
But this height is not a big problem for a group of children. Perhaps the people who followed Ezio were used to sneaking around, so some of them squatted down without waiting for instructions, and some sat astride the shoulders and necks of the squatting people. Open the kitchen door like an Arhat.
The fire on the stove has been extinguished, but it does not stop a group of hungry little devils from looking for something to eat. Ezio didn't let anyone else look around. Not leaving any traces was an agreement he made with the others before he came.
The children also agreed that no matter what, it would be a good thing for themselves not to attract other people's attention. In this city where magicians gather, the magicians are too cruel. Although they don't know who lives in this mansion.
