Chapter 5 Old Tom’s Broth (Part 1)

When Maria heard this, she immediately angrily slapped the male attendant several times.

"idiot!"

After saying that, he immediately dragged Cinderella and walked inside.

"Don't think I don't know your little tricks! Cinderella! I will check carefully!"

The woman's angry voice could be heard clearly by half of the people on the street, but Paine noticed that the pedestrians on the road looked like they were used to it, and they didn't even have the interest to stop and watch.

"Cinderella's family, or rather this village, is not normal."

Paine, who was watching all this not far away, took a deep breath, "It seems that this world is also very dangerous... Cinderella doesn't need to be busy following up here. I have to find a place to stay first."

When Pan En thought of this, he turned around and left. He needed to find someone to understand the situation here.

No matter what age, foreign travelers are always the object of attention. Paine just turned around a few times on the road, and there were several "little tails" behind him that had ill intentions towards him.

If he were an ordinary traveler, he would inevitably lose money and misfortune when dealing with such a local young man. But Paine was not an ordinary person. He easily dealt with a few bad boys, and then used tricks to get some information from them - many people in this village were escorted by soldiers to settle down!

These delinquent boys had just arrived with their families and didn't know much about the situation here, but they provided Paine with a piece of valid information - they lived in the west end of the village. Old Tom, who was in the west end of the village, was said to have lived in this village. For a long time, no one knew the situation here better than money-grubbing old Tom.

So after confiscating the wallets of several delinquent boys, Paine went to the west of the village to search, and soon found Old Tom's home with the help of passers-by.

Paine knocked on the door.

"Is old Tom here?"

After a moment, a vicissitudes of voice answered: "Who is it?"

"I am a foreign traveler, and I have something to ask Old Tom."

"There's nothing here, Old Tom, go back!"

"Did I make a mistake? It's such a pity. I've obviously prepared a consulting fee to ask Old Tom for some life experience."

Paine took out several wallets from delinquent boys and shook them, making a pleasant sound of coins clinking.

Then with a creaking sound, the door opened. The person who opened the door was an old man with a white beard, standing at the door with a cane in his hand.

"You're right, I'm Old Tom!"

The old man stared at the wallet in Paine's hand, "I was just testing you because so many people came to my house to ask questions for no reason! I had to hide and beg for peace. But when I meet polite young people, I am still willing to Sharing some of my life experiences with him.”

He simply couldn't take his eyes off his wallet.

"That's great sir, I really need your life experience."

Paine said with a smile. The moment he saw Old Tom, Paine activated his mental trick, but it had no effect. This shows that Old Tom is not an ordinary person!

"Then come inside and sit down! My old Tom likes to support young people from outside the most."

Old Tom took Paine into his house, "Young man, please wait a moment, I will go to the kitchen to get you some broth to drink, and we will talk while drinking."

Old Tom left in a hurry, and Paine took a look at the house. The furnishings here were simple, not luxurious, but very warm. It seemed that Old Tom's family was not bad.

Old Tom soon brought a bowl of steaming broth. The aroma was so fragrant that Paine couldn't help but drool.

"Young man, try it. The broth I make is delicious!"

Old Tom smiled and handed the broth to Paine.

“It smells really good!”

Paine couldn't help but swallow.
