Vol 4 Chapter 824 The plight of the citizens

Not long after lunch, the wind that had been whistling over the Knowledge City for a few days was much lighter, but the clouds were still very low. At noon, people thought that the rain would not stop easily.

This gloomy weather makes the sad people even more miserable.

?? On the commercial street, many people stood in the rubble destroyed by the fire, some people sighed, and some people fainted because of their anger.

The owner of the cake shop saw that the shop he had worked hard for 20 years to build turned into a pile of coke, and he fainted because he couldn’t get up in one breath.

A man in his thirties immediately rushed over from across the street. He hurriedly put the cake shop owner flat on the ground, then pinched the person, and then discharged.

The unconscious cake shop owner woke up smartly and sat up with the help of others.

When he saw that it was Charlie, the owner of the stew shop diagonally opposite, he nodded slightly in thanks.

Everyone was miserable, and the words of comfort could not be said. Charlie could only sigh and pat the cake shop owner on the shoulder, and then returned to the ruins of his own shop.

This side of the street was not spared, and after the fire spread, a street selling books and stationery was also burned to the ground.

Luckily for Charlie, his wife Lola and their newborn son were running fast enough to not get hurt.

Lola, holding her infant son, stood in the ruins and kicked the fallen charcoal from time to time to see if there was anything left to use.

Charlie and Lola saved a fortune by traveling all over the world in the early years. They came here two years ago to buy a house, set up a shop and settle down. I didn’t expect all of this to be wiped out yesterday.

Like many shops around, their family opened a shop downstairs and lived upstairs, and now they are homeless.

“Charlie, come here!” Laura found something in the ruins, her voice full of surprise.

She hooked her foot and kicked a box from the ground, and the box flew towards Charlie who was approaching.

It was a palm-sized tin box with a small lock on it.

Charlie knew the wife’s box, which she hadn’t opened in years, was one of the few things she took with her when she escaped from the house.

“Great!” Lola said happily, “It seems that those **** only robbed the first floor and didn’t go upstairs.”

Charlie breathed a sigh of relief and said, “You guys go out first, be careful not to fall, and I’ll find the rest.”

Lola nodded, then walked out of the ruins with her son in her arms.

This unfortunate small building first collapsed after the fire, the floor and roof collapsed, and then the walls collapsed one after another, and a lot of waste was pressed on it.

Charlie rummaged around on the bedside table. There were a few gold coins and some silver coins hidden in the cabinet, and he should still be able to find them.

Money is much easier to manage, and although shipping on the island has been terminated and granaries destroyed, a black market has also emerged. Taking advantage of the fact that food prices are not outrageous now, it is necessary to buy some stockings.

As for rebuilding the house, Charlie doesn’t think much of it at the moment. The most important thing in front of him is to let his wife and son pass this test first.

In the current black market, some students exchange the dried steamed buns they have saved for money. Anyway, their meals are covered by the college, so they can just wander around until they starve to death.

As the so-called wealth is not exposed, especially at this time of crisis, Charlie pretended to bend over to look through things, quietly picked up a few coins from the cabinet that had turned into charcoal and stuffed it into his boots.

After searching for a while, all that could be used in the ruins was a long sword with a burnt hilt, a wok with a dent in the bottom but not leaking, a kitchen knife for cutting vegetables, and a knife they kicked out the door when they escaped through the back door. Wooden barrel.

“These are all our belongings.” Charlie said to Lola with a wry smile.

Lola also smiled bitterly, then smiled and said to her husband, “That’s not bad. When we first escaped from the castle, we had nothing but the clothes on our body, and one shoe was missing.”

“You remember we lay on the top of the mountain that night, talking about how to keep ourselves from freezing to death in the winter.”

Charlie laughed, too. His wife is a natural optimist and can always face any difficulties with a smile.

He said, “Remember our quilt made of slime glue and straw…”

The two stood in front of the ruins and recalled the time when they had just escaped from the family. At that time, they had nothing. Now they still have a few gold coins. son.

Thinking of this, they found that the difficulties in front of them did not seem as big as they thought.

If there is no background sound of the cry of the owner of the cake shop opposite, this scene would be very warm.

When the owner of the cake shop learned that the earthquake was coming, he used his family’s cash to buy food, but it was all robbed.

Lola muttered a few words in Charlie’s ear. Although the husband was a little surprised by his wife’s decision, his wife’s head was the smartest at home, so he chose to do what his wife said he did as before.

Charlie walked over, quietly stuffed a gold coin into the cake shop owner’s hand, and said softly, “Don’t be discouraged, go buy something to eat first, and let’s pass this one.”

“It’s useless…” The owner of the cake shop sat on the ground dejectedly, “Without food, no amount of money is useless.”

Charlie patted him on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, there will always be a way to get through.”

“Is there any way?” the owner of the cake shop cried, “Could it be that food will fall from the sky?”

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, which was what Charlie was most worried about.

The granary was burnt down and the shipping was interrupted. There was only so much food on the island, and the food in the future would definitely become less and less.

And where will the limited food be tilted…

Charlie could imagine with his heels that the future priests and aristocratic students in the academy must not go hungry.

He and his wife were able to get along, but the mother couldn’t get enough to eat and no milk, the son’s future…

Charlie didn’t dare to think about it any longer. The couple ventured to settle in Knowledge City, a place with many eyes and eyes, just to give their descendants a bright future, but no one expected such a thing to happen.

He’s also starting to get distracted. This dude has been living on the island for over twenty years, and that’s what a lot of people think.

Charlie said perfunctorily: “I don’t know if the food will really fall from the sky. Take the money and coins first. Maybe when it’s useful, just return it to me if you have money in the future~www.readmtl.com~ The owner of the cake shop squeezes With an ugly smile, he said, “You don’t have to comfort me, I’m not a child, if the sky really falls down, let me dip my leather shoes in mustard and eat them. ”
