"Come on, this is for you. Once you put it on, you don't have to worry about your shoes breaking your feet when we play!"

"Thank you Brother Keith! Wow... this, is this new?"

In front of a refugee tent, a group of children gathered.

They were all surrounded by one of the boys, and each child's eyes more or less had expressions of envy and anticipation.

The reason for this can be seen from the child who received a new pair of socks at the moment.

There were several holes in his shoes. Through the holes, he could see from time to time his bare toes. They were curled up because of the air leak. There were some traces of blisters on them. It was obvious that the soles were about to rot.

The best way is of course to get new shoes, but for the refugees in the gathering place, they can’t get enough to eat, so how can there be such a luxury, so even if they get a pair of thick socks a little later, the children will be very happy. .

What's more, the workmanship of the pair is good, and at a glance, you know that they are brand new socks that you just bought.

"Humph, of course, I bought this with the pocket money my mother sent me from the city. Of course it's new!"

"Really! Ji... Brother Ji Si's mother is amazing!"

Enjoying the gaze of admiration, the little boy named "Guise" had a proud look on his face.

After delivering the socks, Guice didn't stop, but looked like a Santa Claus...

"Come, here's the glove for you, here, here's the yo-yo you've always wanted, here, here's the..."

I saw that Keith kept taking out various kinds of things from his tent. Although they were not expensive, at least in the eyes of children, they were already considered rare gadgets.

Every child who received a gift from Guise was very happy, and of course thanked him in various ways, circling around him and shouting excitedly.

This made Guise leap to become the central figure of this group of children.

"Uncle Thorin, this is..."

Vivian was attracted by the children's voices, and the sharp-eyed little girl could see at a glance that the gifts that Guise gave to the other children were all brand new.

Although it is not expensive, for a child, or a child in a refugee gathering place, it should be difficult to come up with it, right?

"This child, really..." Sorin shook his head.

Even he had some impression of Guise, and the reason was this morning.

"Early in the morning, when the sky was still bright, someone from Huodian City came to look for me. It seemed to be something, a very rich baron and nobleman, who was a servant of a large chamber of commerce."

"This servant told me that the young baron of his family specifically wanted to find a child. He didn't know the appearance, nor the parents of the other party. He only knew that the child's name was... Guice."

"Because there is a relationship with the baron, we have to take it seriously, put down the matter at hand, and hurriedly check the refugee registration list before helping the other party to find the child."

"So he is..." Vivian nodded in understanding.

"Yeah, the servant of the noble chamber of commerce, after finding Guise, gave the child a large sum of money. To be honest, even I was shocked!"

"There are more than ten coins, those are not copper coins and silver coins, but... gold coins!"

Sorin sighed as he said this.

Because, if you compare a copper coin to one piece and a silver coin to ten pieces, then more than ten gold coins are equivalent to more than one thousand fast!

This is definitely a huge sum of money for the refugees who have been washed away and penniless after the disaster, let alone put it in the hands of a child.

"So, these noble men in the city have never thought about it at all, or it may be that they have never imagined the situation of our refugees. Even if they send money, send gold coins directly, such a large sum of money will be handed over. In the hands of the child, we will not mention whether it is dangerous or not, in our gathering place, I am afraid that the gold coins will not be spent, and no one will be able to find them!"

"I couldn't stand it anymore, so I helped the kid Jis, exchange some of the gold coins for silver and copper coins, and instructed him, before his mother came back from the city, don't spend it indiscriminately, and don't be too public. But who would have thought...hey, this child is really disobedient."

It was during the conversation between Vivian and Sorin that the situation on the children's side suddenly changed.

There are also groups of children who say it, let alone, children pay more attention to these things, for example, popularity.

Originally, as the king of children, he was very popular, but he was suddenly robbed of the limelight by other children, not relying on his own skills, but money from outside, so he would naturally be unhappy.

Henry looked at him with envy and jealousy, leaning on Guise, who was being embraced and surrounded by other children while giving gifts.

And Guice also noticed, around this other group of children centered on Henry.

No, to be precise, next to Henry, a cute little girl, Henry's sister.

"Anna, this is a lollipop that I specially bought for you. Try it now. It's so sweet. It is said that even children in the city eat this!"

Guice handed a colorful round candy wrapped in candy paper to Henry's sister, a cute little girl named "Anna".

"Thank you, thank you Brother Geese!" Anna swallowed several saliva at the beautifully packaged and attractively colored lollipop, her big eyes sparkling at a young age.

But I haven't waited for the girl to take over.

Snapped!

Henry angrily slapped the lollipop in Guice's hand to the ground.

"you!"

Keith was about to get angry, but Henry, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore after seeing that Keith still shot at his sister.

The little boy took the lead and said angrily:

"What are you! Humph! We don't want anything from a bad boy who was abandoned by his biological mother!"

"Henry! You, what did you say! Say it again! Who was abandoned!"

It was as if he had touched some Guise's inverse scale, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

But Henry didn't flinch, and even amplified his voice a little so that all the children around could hear it.

"Am I right? Guise, I have heard what the nobleman said in the early morning. Your mother met a nobleman after entering the city, so I don't want you anymore, I just think you are alone. Poor, I can't live, so I asked someone to send you so much money!"

"You, you are bullshitting! You fart, my mother didn't want me, she, she is just working for the nobles and can't go away!"

Keith's eyes were red and he was about to cry.

Henry hesitated for a while after seeing this, maybe he thought he had done it too.

But this is often the case, the arrow has to be fired on the string, especially for children, and then one step is wrong, one step at a time.

"Don't be kidding, Guise, you know it in your heart, even in the city, how can you get so much salary in just one day, and you can send someone out of the city to send you money!"

"What's more, your mother didn't even write you a letter or bring you a word. Don't you understand what this means!"

"You, mom, no, yes, you, now!" Henry said more and more excitedly, and finally shouted in Geese's ear.

The group of children centered on Henry immediately agreed and laughed at Guise. They were restrained by Henry and were not allowed to accept Guise's gifts. Naturally, they were happy to see their own side gain the upper hand.

And the group of children who had received the gift from Guise before, not to mention following the trend, but also felt a little embarrassed under the effect of conformity, and quickly dispersed from Guise's side, one by one even running away with gifts.

"You, you!"

Couldn't hold it any longer, the thin little boy was crying, and the tears couldn't stop spinning in Guise's eyes.

What Henry said, Geese had never thought about it, he just didn't want to believe it, but this time, it was said in public and the scars were opened, which was too heavy for a little boy who was only a few years old. .

Seeing Guise burst into tears, Henry felt regret in his heart.

In fact, he and Guise were friends from childhood to adulthood, and he knew even more that Guise's father died in the magic tide a few days ago, and only mother and son were left to depend on each other.

And now, if even Guise's mother abandoned Guise, then...

Henry didn't dare to think about it any longer.

"enough!"

The little boy roared irritably.

The group of children centered on Henry who were still laughing at Guise were all taken aback and closed their mouths one by one, showing that Henry's child king still had the prestige.

They looked at Henry suspiciously, not understanding what it meant.

"gone."

After saying two words, Henry wanted to pull his sister Anna away.

But who knows, Anna opened her brother's hand as hard as Henry opened Guise's hand at that time.

Anna looked at the crying Geese and tried to go over several times, but the child was still too shy, and finally did not dare to do so in front of everyone, so she had to turn her head and run away alone to express her anger towards her brother.

Henry didn't dare to let his sister run around in the refugee gathering place, so he quickly chased after him. When the other children saw this, they looked at each other a few times, and they all left Guise's side and ran after Henry's back.

In the end, in front of the noisy tent, it became much quieter and more empty, and only Guice was left alone.

This might be the reason why Guise had to spend money to buy gifts despite Sorin's dissuasion.

He was afraid of being alone, and wanted to use gifts to surround his friends and let Guise know that he was not alone in this world.

But finally...

"Uh...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

The little boy was still alone.

"Hey..."

Thorin didn't know how many times he sighed.

"Guise is already lucky, at least he got a wealth that is enough to live well."

"Vivian, do you know that there are many people like Guise's mother, and everyone is thinking of various ways to leave this refugee gathering place and run to Huodian City."

"Some people may have succeeded, but the vast majority of them have no news of this, and there are many traffickers from underground gangs, all under the banner of being able to enter the city to find work, but in fact..."

Thorin clenched his fists.

The former mayor of Chiyan Town felt deeply powerless at this moment.

Because as long as the refugees' homes are not rebuilt and order is not restored, everyone is still so homeless and can only crowd into this poor gathering place outside the city.

Then today is Guice, tomorrow may be Ence, and the day after tomorrow will be the birth of other new orphans.

Sorin can do it.

That is, rationally distribute that poor material to ensure that most of them will not starve to death, that's all.

"So, Vivian, really...please!"

The uncle, who was already quite old, made a begging tone.

"I've heard that the famous and good earl, Lord Sisle, will hold a fundraising dinner tonight to raise money for everyone outside the city and start rebuilding work, and he intends to recommend you to be this leader. "

"Vivian, the only one who can save everyone right now is you!"

"I know it's a lot of responsibility and it's going to be very stressful, but I believe that if it was you, it would definitely be possible! So please, be sure, be sure to convince those nobles tonight that we...we only... You are left, Vivian!"

Saying that, Sorin bent his knees slightly, and his body was about to go down.

"Uncle Thorin, what are you doing!"

Vivian quickly helped and stopped Sorin.

"Uncle Thorin, do you believe me?"

"Believe."

"Since you believe it, Uncle Sorin, you can rest assured to leave this place and everyone here to me."

To Sorin's haggard eyes.

Vivienne said very seriously.

"I will definitely give everyone... a home!"

"I, Vivian, swear!"

In the back, the maid Elina looked complicated. It was the first time she had seen Vivian showing such a solemn expression.

And the little wolf cub in Elina's arms.

It wasn't the first time he had seen a little girl look like this.

But he remembered that the last time Vivian was like this, it should have been...

Witch Manifesto?

It was at that time that the deacon of the Vulcan Sect wanted to threaten the little girl with Vivian's village.

Vivian at that time was far from being as powerful and prestigious as she is now.

It seems that no matter how it changes, the only thing Vivian will not change is the little girl's pure and kindness, and... as the second personality said, a brave heart.

"Uncle Thorin, don't talk to me for now, I have to leave first!"

Before Sorin could react, Vivian turned towards the maid behind and called out softly.

"Little black!"

Elina only felt a little light in her arms, and then the little wolf cub in her arms disappeared.

Vivian took the unidentified maid and chased in the direction where Henry's children had left.

And the wolf cub...

I saw that Guise was also gone. The little boy wiped his tears and ran towards the direction of Huodian City outside the gathering place with a resolute expression on his face.

And it was not only Sorin and Vivian who were secretly attracted by the noise.

There were three or four of them who knew at a glance that they didn't look like some good gangster. After seeing the figure of Guise running away, they followed the little boy quietly.
