[End of the God Station] Remind book lovers to remember: the website website: www.xinwanben.com Remember for a second and never lose it!
Miller is a small worker in Odis City. As a down-to-earth man in the capital, Miller has been busy for so many years and has married a good-looking wife. A few years ago, he also had a pair of lovely children.
From this point of view, Miller is considered to be the group of people who live a relatively happy life among the Charlois.
However, Miller didn't think so at this time.
Taking a breath of his frozen blue nose, Miller and a group of Charlo civilians, who were also working-class civilians, gathered at the entrance of the market in Odis City.
They are all here to receive relief food. Odis City has been besieged for almost a month. Without the input of external resources, many people in this city have starved to death. If the nobles were not merciful, they would be given to these people every day. Some of the Charlo civilians who went down helped, and Otis City was already in chaos.
After I don't know how long I waited, a huge stone gate in the market slowly opened, and a group of Charlo civilians saw it, and they rushed over like a tidal wave.
"Disperse! Disperse!" A whole group of Charlois soldiers with large arms and round waists wielded long spears to drive away these excited civilians.
There are only one squadron of Charlo soldiers, and there are thousands of civilians here, so how can they be suppressed.
Crazy hungry Charlo civilians don't care whether the weapons in the hands of these soldiers are sharp or not.
The stone gate was only half opened, and it was blocked by the excited Charlo civilians and could not be opened.
"Stop!" Finally, there was a loud shout full of qi, accompanied by the use of vindictive qi, and the sound came, which made many commoners of Charlo, who were close, cover their ears in pain, and a reddish sound came. Blood splattered from the ear.
Transforming Dou Qi in the form of sound waves is at least a high-level knight attendant. From his perfect control of Dou Qi, it can be seen that he is still a leader among high-level attendants.
The excited civilians in front were blocked, but countless people crowded in behind, and the scene was still chaotic.
It was not until the leading high-level knight attendant took a long sword and slashed over some of the most powerful Charloh civilians who jumped, and the chaotic situation was resolved.
The group of civilians who had been hungry all day was finally calmed down by blood and knife light.
The leading Charlo high-level attendant stared coldly at the group of civilians in front of him. All the Charlo civilians who met his gaze lowered their heads. They had no doubt that what was hidden under the armor was A murderous monster.
The stone gate was completely opened, revealing a team of horses more than ten meters long. Behind each horse, a flat wooden cart was pulled. On the wooden cart were half-human-height potatoes and rice potatoes.
Every Charlo civilian who saw the food involuntarily licked his lips and swallowed dry spit.
Distribute food in an orderly manner. Every civilian who was stunned did not dare to be presumptuous again.
Such a scene, if you look at it from the top down, there are six places in the city of Otis!
Miller was lucky, and he was in the middle of the team here.
There was less and less food on the wooden planks of the carriage ahead, and Miller's heart became more and more anxious.
It was finally his turn. The horse team more than ten meters long had less than two wooden boards with food.
At this time, a person in front of him was praying to the soldiers distributing food, "Please, give me another piece. I have a six-year-old child to support."
This man looks quite old, and his voice has a dullness that is unique to northerners.
The soldier who gave him the food was a young man with a young face. Facing a prayer from a man much older than him, the young man looked embarrassed.
This should be a recruit, Miller guessed in his heart, how could those old soldiers be polite to them civilians, and they have already kicked over.
"Would you like it, why is there so much nonsense!" Sure enough, when the young soldier was raising money, it seemed that a non-commissioned officer of his squad leader was beside him, grabbed a piece of potato in the hands of the civilian, and threw it out. .
Following the trajectory of the potatoes flying out, the greedy eyes of a group of Charlo civilians followed.
The man in front of Miller didn't even bother to ask for food, and even scrambled to chase the potato. This was the food that he and his son saved today. If they lost it, they could only starve.
When it was Miller's turn, he would not have naive fantasies like the man before, but politely said "a piece of potato, thank you!" to the soldier who distributed food to him!
Whether it's a pure Charlo voice or a friendly attitude, the soldier who distributed the food had a good first impression of him, so he got a piece of potato that was slightly larger than the other potatoes.
With the potatoes in his hand, Miller didn't stop here and left in a hurry.
There is not much food on the board, but there are still half of the people in line, and there will be chaos later.
After a while, when Miller walked out less than 200 meters, there was a noise of noise and scolding from soldiers, accompanied by the tragic screams of people who were injured when the wooden cart overturned.
Miller quickened his pace and left the place of right and wrong.
At this time, the advantages of the people of Wangdu were manifested. After circling the city twice, Miller got rid of the hungry people who might be stalking him.
When I walked to the place where I lived, in the southwest corner of Wangcheng, there were a large number of townhouses. Most of the people who were born and raised in Otis City lived here.
Because compared to other places, it is relatively close to the Palace of Charlot, and most people really have no way to get a house here.
.
Miller stared warily at the group of people lying dead in twos and threes in front of the low-rise row house. It wasn't all his neighborhood because of the decline of the Charlois war.
In many occupied areas, a large number of nobles and commoners poured into the city of Odis before the siege of the Forstans. The city of Otis, which originally had 120,000 residents, now has 150,000 people, piling up here.
This is still the case when a large number of civilians starve to death in the city every day.
Miller's neighbor, a good-natured man in his 40s, who has never married a wife in his life, adopted a child who had escaped and was looted by the refugees who fled with the child.
Not only was the food stolen, but even he himself was maimed and thrown out. As for the child he adopted, he was chased away by the group of scumbags long ago. Now the grandfather is still picking up things to eat in the city.
If Miller and his old neighbors who lived together for many years were not hostile to this group of outsiders, I am afraid they would have already been made up.
But the good times don't last long. There are more and more refugees from other places here. These people are hungry every day and can't do anything. They just lie there upright "lying dead" with their protruding eyes staring at the passers-by. Chilling.
Miller has seen a lot, and he is not afraid of them, nor does he want to provoke them. He hid the food he had just received, and walked past the refugees who were lying on the ground.
He even accidentally stepped on some unlucky guy, leaving a scream that came from the road.
Walking to a door with a whitened yellow wooden board, Miller knocked on the wooden board blocking the window. After a while, a smart little face was revealed, and Miller's tense face finally relaxed.
"Bob, open the door!" Miller said to the children in the door with a smile.
The 40-square-meter cottage has only a small kitchen and one bedroom. The Miller family of four huddled together in this small house.
Miller put the potatoes he got in a wooden bowl in the kitchen. His sons and daughters, with big eyes, leaned on Miller's sides, they knew that this was their food today. The two little guys were thirsty.
After a while, Miller's wife came back. This is a woman who looks much better than Miller, Betty, Miller's wife.
Betty didn't have the squeamishness of a southern woman. When the two first met, Miller immediately fell in love with Betty, who had a cheerful personality and was no worse than a man. She came to Wangdu to work.
In the end, Miller stood out among many Betty suitors by virtue of his identity as a city dweller in Odis and the advantage of owning a house in the city.
Betty gave him a son six years ago, and a daughter four years ago. The family should live happily ever after, but it is. . . . . .
Betty, who had just returned home, took off her coat and took out a palm-sized potato. There was only one coat at home, Miller didn't wear it and left it to his wife. He had been freezing enough before.
"I'm lucky today, I grabbed a piece of potato." Betty said in a relaxed language. Years of hard work and hardships in recent years have left Betty, who was a beauty when she was young, with only deep wrinkles and dry hands.
Betty was very thin, due to malnutrition, and it was impossible to tell that she was already a mother of two children.
Betty got it in another place, as Miller had in the bazaar. In order to prevent chaos, the nobles distributed food separately for men and women.
Don't think Betty's side is all women, it's much better than Miller's side. On the contrary, because it is a woman, it is even more crazy over there.
Charlot's soldiers could attack civilians or refugee men like Miller, but they rarely attacked women. Soldiers also have a conscience. Those who can't beat the Faustans on the front line have no face to attack women in their own country. No matter how cold-blooded he is.
It is precisely because of this that the side where the woman receives the relief food is even more chaotic. A group of women went up to grab food with their teeth and claws, and it was good that the soldiers could maintain order.
Betty also took advantage of her height and strength to grab a piece of potato this time. The price was a few more scratches and bruises on the arm. The group of women moved their hands, not much worse than men.
"It seems that I can eat a little fuller today." Miller squeezed out a smile, and he was busy looking for medicinal wine for Betty. It's been very chaotic outside recently, and things like medicinal wine are always kept in their house.
Betty began to prepare their dinner, a simple stew of mashed potatoes, sprinkled with a little salt and chopped wild vegetables, which is the supreme delicacy of the commoners.
Feeling the arm, the husband carefully rubbed the medicinal wine on the wound, Betty's heart was peaceful.
Although she didn't enjoy any blessings with this man, the world is like this. Betty has no complaints at all. She is a cheerful person, but she is overwhelmed by reality.
After dinner, the family lay on the wooden bed, and Miller and Betty slept with the two children in the middle. The scarcity of food prevented the family from wasting any energy. Apart from going out to get food, they slept with their children at home.
