Chapter 374 The Abyss of the World

"There was also an eight-year-old boy in the family, and Ginny started working at a very young age and, after her father passed away, carried the burden of the family."

"She started by washing clothes at home, but two years ago, she was lucky enough to become a textile factory worker, which made their family's life a little easier. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Not long ago, she lost her job."

"So the poor child could only do the laundry again. She could barely maintain the family, but her mother's condition worsened. In order to earn more money, the child washed clothes during the day and at night, At night, go to the street to attract customers."

"Yes, she became a street girl. But just last week, she was killed, poor Ginny, and she was hoping to save enough money that she would stop doing that kind of work."

"She wanted to go to night school. She used to go to school for a while, but she didn't go because of work. Look at the wall. When she was washing clothes, when she was tired, she would use stones to write words on the wall. "

"She tried so hard to change, but in the end, she died. She was only 15 years old."

Having said that, the laundry woman shook her head and sighed, feeling sorry for what happened to the girl.

Xifa couldn't help but look towards the wall. Under the corner, the dead girl was still washing clothes there.

Her eyes were empty, her expression was numb and unconscious.

"What about her family? Do you know where they moved?" After hearing Ginny's story, Xifa felt an indescribable pain. If she knew where Ginny's family was, Xifa wanted to help them.

"I don't know. Ginny died. The mother and son couldn't afford to pay the rent, so they were evicted two days ago."

"I think that mother should not be able to work. As for the boy, he is too young and no factory would want him."

The laundry woman began to get busy: "So I thought, they can only go to the poorhouse, or they can only wander on the street. Well, sir, I have to work, otherwise, I may also be arrested for not paying the rent." kicked out."

After listening to the laundry woman's narration, Xifa fell silent. He knew from before that Backlund's East District was terrible.

But today, through Ginny's story, Xifa has a more intuitive understanding of this area.

The situation here is far worse than what he has read in the newspapers and heard from other people.

People living in the East District have no guarantee of safety, and their daily work can only barely fill their stomachs.

They have no future, what they do have, just a never-ending job. When they are old, when they are sick, when they have lost their value, they will be ruthlessly abandoned, and finally die on a winter night, or on a street where people come and go.

And even if they die, no one will stop to look at them, because people living in the East End have no time to stay, no time to grieve.

They must use every minute and every second to survive.

This is the East District!

This is the 'Abyss', a living abyss in the world!

In the evening, Palliston finished his creation, and after he relaxed, he discovered the two of Xifa.

"You are?"

Cromwell said in a deep voice: "Mr. Palliston, we are here to find you at the entrustment of Mr. Talim. Mr. Talim is very worried about you and hopes that you can go back with us."

"Talim?"

Palliston laughed: "What is he worried about? I'm fine. I haven't been inspired like this for a long time. See, I have completed my creation."

"I have to thank her well, what about that girl, when did she leave?"

Xifa glanced at Cromwell. Just now, when Palliston was busy creating, the two of them discussed.

Ginny's spirit didn't have any evil spirit, it should be just an ordinary shadow, temporarily staying due to some obsessions. Even if you leave her alone, she will eventually dissipate.

As for Palliston, the reason why he was able to see the dead girl may be that his inspiration was higher than that of ordinary people, or that he resonated with Ginny's obsession in some aspects, and thus made a connection.

In short, after going back, let Palliston go to church to pray, and it should be resolved.

And before that, it's better not to say anything, lest you frighten the painter.

"She just left, and she has other work to do." The arbitrator had no choice but to say so.

Palliston showed a disappointed expression: "Really? I still want to find out her name, and I plan to pay her some fees after these paintings are sold."

"Her name is Ginny," said Sifer, without going further into the subject. "It's getting late, sir, let's go home. Don't you miss your daughter?"

Palliston glanced at the silver chain on his wrist: "Why, I haven't seen my baby for a few days, I'll go back now."

They took a carriage and first returned to Yilin Avenue. When Talim saw Palliston, he finally felt relieved, and after readily paying 10 pounds, he left with doctor Alan and painter Palliston.

The three of Xifa found a restaurant nearby, had dinner together, and got together at the same time.

Xifa handed over the 15,000 pounds earned from the stock to Lynn to look at, and asked him to help him find investment projects.

The lawyer agreed, but this time, he told Xifa explicitly.

After the investment makes a profit, he will charge an 8% 'service fee'.

On Sunday morning, Sifa took the steam train to Tingen and left Backlund. He still couldn't forget what he saw and heard in the East District yesterday, but he could only keep that 'heaviness' in his heart temporarily.

He is very clear that that kind of tragic thing will happen again in the future, and this is not something that he alone, or anyone can change.

After all, the current him is not strong enough, not strong enough to influence the current situation.

And as strong as Emperor Roselle, he couldn't make reforms all at once. Instead, it took decades, or even hundreds of years, to change certain deep-rooted concepts in this world.

At around 11:37 a.m., the steam train entered the station. It was already almost November, and the weather in Tingen was already chilly. Even though the sun was shining today, the wind still made people feel cold.

Sifa walked out of the train station and took a carriage to the Violet Hotel, where he got a room and then dined in a restaurant near the hotel.

While enjoying lunch, Xifa also slightly planned the itinerary for these two days in Tingen.

Considering that Melissa might go to school during the day, Xifa planned to visit Jane Britney's descendants on Fania Street in the afternoon, and then went to Melissa in the evening.

If you still have time in the afternoon, please contact Naifei and Kawen. If you can't squeeze it out, put it tomorrow.

Tomorrow he will go to see the former hunter Kyle, and then go to the laboratory of Tingen University. In the afternoon, he will participate in the Tarot Club, and then return to Jedga Island on Tuesday or Wednesday.

"Well, after returning to the hotel, I have to record the customs of Jedga Island in the local customs when I have time. There are so many things to be busy."

at the same time.

Jedga Island.

On a cargo ship staying near the port, several sailors were washing the deck. Suddenly, someone said 'Hey', pointing to the distant sea and saying: "Look, there seems to be someone there."

Several sailors looked over, and it seemed that someone was floating over on the sea reflecting the sun. When the man was brought nearby by the sea, the sailors saw clearly that it was a woman
