Chapter 196: Winnie
The sudden light made Winnie's eyes a little uncomfortable, but soon, she saw Levin, and the familiarity from the blood made her identify the person without having to see the backlight.
"Brother!" Winnie cheerfully peeked out of the window, screaming.
Levine's disappearance last night worries Winnie very much, in this era, countless people die every day in the streets and in the wilderness, and although the standard of living has risen, this rise is not felt at all.
Winnie also knew that her brother needed to feed two people, and in the winter when it was difficult for one person to survive, Levine's pressure was particularly high, and she was always afraid that one day Levine would never come back after he went out.
Freezing to death, starvation, or being killed, all the time in the alleys where the sun could not reach, Winnie had spent the night in fear, and even hunger had been forgotten by her for the time being.
Now that Levin had finally returned, Winnie hurriedly got out and threw herself into Levin's arms.
Levine picked Winnie up and touched her head, if Yi Huan was here, he would definitely wonder how the two priests could see that Winnie would be beautiful in the future, because this little girl was even thinner than Levin, and she was so skinny that she could no longer describe her.
Her body was even thinner than the planks on the side, and there was no fat on the surface of her body except for the protruding bones, and even a malnourished person like Levine could pick her up lightly, and Winnie's weight was probably not much heavier than a piece of paper.
It seems that the parable of the little match girl is definitely not an exaggeration.
"Alright, alright, I'm back." Levin's nose is also a little sour, since his father's death. The younger brother disappeared again. His family was torn apart. can only rely on his sister for his life.
Although the family used to have a bad life, they are still together after all, but now they are ...... Levin thought of the two strong priests, and a hint of hatred crossed his eyes.
Levine felt Winnie's shivering body from the cold, and wrapped her in a heavy black robe, and suddenly, a burst of warmth enveloped Winnie.
"Huh?" Winnie's body warmed up, and she also noticed the delicate black robe on her brother's body. Curiously stretched out his hand, wanting to touch it but not daring.
"Brother, where did this come from?" Winnie knew that it would be impossible for her brother to get such expensive clothes, and although she was still very young, she was very sensible.
The malice from life and the world made her understand the cruelty of this era prematurely, death threatens everyone all the time, but at the same time it is an era full of opportunities, and more and more merchants and navigators who have become rich overnight are such representatives.
And my brother's dress is starting to be decent, does it mean that ...... Winnie's face was a little happy.
Sure enough, mention of it. Levine had an excited smile on his face, "Winnie." You know, I met a wizard! A very powerful wizard! And he took me as a servant! ”
"What? Sorcerer?! Winnie had a horrified look on her face, mixed with a hint of resentment, she didn't know as much as Levine, the only thing she knew about wizards was the witches of the priests who wanted to burn her! Sorcerer! It's these guys who ruined their own families, evil wizards!
As soon as Levine saw his sister's expression, he knew that she had misunderstood, Winnie didn't even understand what magic was, and quickly explained, "Sir, he is not like those witches who were burned to death, he is a real wizard!" It's like the kind of the big hero Merlin. ”
Even though he knew that there was no one here, Levine still looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "Those witches who were burned to death are not real witches, they are all some scapegoats, and they still say that you are a witch, are you a witch?" ”
Winnie's little face relaxed, it was true that the two fierce priests still wanted to burn themselves, but they really weren't witches.
Thinking of Yi Huan's generosity, Levin said again, "Believe me, my brother's vision will not be wrong, and we will live a good life." ”
Winnie nodded as if she didn't understand, her eyes were confused, seeing this, Levine thought that his sister might be hungry, so he quickly took out the big loaf of bread, hugged her sister, and put it in her hand.
"Eat quickly, this is from my husband, it is very delicious, I will take you back after eating." Levine didn't dare to let his sister eat and walk on the street, and the habit of shuttling through the dark alleys for a long time to grab food made Levine not change from being a homeless man for a while.
Robbers and vagabonds did not dare to attack decent merchants, but they were not merciful to their own kind, and Levin forgot for a moment that he was also a decent person in his own attire.
Sure enough, the modern bread made of flour and sugar oil immediately conquered the little girl who had never had a full meal in the seventeenth century, and after taking a bite, her eyes lit up, and she immediately took a big bite of several pieces, and the smell aroused her hunger instinct that she had deliberately forgotten.
The hunger in her belly made Winnie want to eat all the bread at once, but she thought of her brother again, Levine had been gently paying attention to the change in Winnie's expression, and when she saw this scene, she immediately understood what her sister was thinking, "I have eaten, these are all left for you." Levine said.
Hearing this, Winnie relieved herself, and devoured the bread, and did not need to drink water, and did not choke.
After seeing his sister eat the bread, Levine relieved himself, thought for a moment, put the plank back again, continued to cover the window, and then walked away with Winnie quickly.
Winnie, who was lying on Levin's shoulder, tasted the taste in her mouth, thinking of Levin's words that were just bright, and a smile slowly appeared on her thin little face, looking forward to her future life......
By the time Levin returned to the vicinity of the stone fort, it was already early morning bustling with carriages on the road, dirty horses neighing in all corners, and more and more people began to appear in the streets.
The shops are open, and there are many idle people or freshly sobered sailors, but more often they are hurrying or hawkers hawking along the streets.
Wrinkled poor women began to tidy up the house, poorly dressed servants went about outside with their heads bowed, and occasionally a girl dressed in a dissolute dress suddenly leaned out of half of her snow-white body, causing a whistling below.
Levin, dressed in a delicate black robe, didn't attract much attention, and the residents around him thought at most that some down-and-out nobleman or merchant was passing by.
It wasn't until he carried Winnie into the side door of the long-empty stone castle that he attracted some attention, but it was only curiosity.
Back in the stone castle, Levin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing if Mr. Wizard woke up or not.
Since the main entrance had not yet opened, Levine went back down the side staircase, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw Yi Huan nestled in a strange chair. (To be continued......)
