Chapter 196 Winnie
The sudden light made Winnie's eyes uncomfortable, but soon, she saw Levine. The familiarity from her blood relationship made her able to confirm the identity of the person without having to see her appearance under the backlight.
"Brother!" Winnie cheerfully crawled out of the window and shouted.
Last night, Levine's disappearance made Winnie very worried. In this era, countless people die in the streets and wilderness every day. Although the living standards have increased, the people at the bottom of the class cannot feel this rise.
Winnie also knew that her brother needed to bear the food for two people. In the winter when it was difficult for one person to survive, Levin was under great pressure. She was afraid that one day she would never come back after Levin went out.
Frozen to death, starving to death, or being killed, happens at any time in the alleys where the sun cannot shine. Winnie spent all night in fear last night, and even her hunger was temporarily forgotten.
Now that Levine has finally come back, Winnie hurriedly got out and suddenly pounced on Levine's arms.
Levin picked up Winnie and touched her head. If Yi Xiao was here, he would definitely be very questionable, how did the two priests see that Winnie would be beautiful in the future? Because this little girl is thinner than Levine, and she is so skinny that she can no longer be described.
Her body was even thinner than the wooden boards on the side. There was no fat on the surface of her body except for the prominent bones. Even people like Levine could easily pick her up. Winnie's weight was probably not much heavier than a piece of paper.
It seems that the fable of the little match girl selling this fable is definitely not an exaggeration.
"Okay, OK, I'm back." Levin's nose was also a little sore. Since his father's death, his younger brother disappeared again. His family has been broken and he can only rely on his sister for life.
Although the family had a bad life before, they were still together after all, but now... Levin thought of the two strong priests, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
Levin felt Winnie's trembling body, and wrapped her into a thick black robe. Suddenly, a warm feeling wrapped around Winnie.
"Huh?" Winnie's body warmed up and she also noticed the exquisite black robe on her brother. She stretched out her hand curiously, trying to touch it but didn't dare.
"Brother, where did this come from?" Winnie knew very well that it was impossible to get such expensive clothes with her brother. Although she was still young, she was very sensible.
The malice from life and the world made her understand the cruelty of this era too early. Death threatens everyone all the time, but at the same time, this is another era full of opportunities. More and more businessmen and navigators who get rich overnight are representatives of this kind.
And my brother's dressing began to become decent, does it mean... a hint of joy appeared on Winnie's face.
Sure enough, when talking about this, Levine showed an excited smile on her face, "Winnie. Do you know, I met a wizard! A very powerful wizard! And he accepted me as a servant!"
"What? Wizard?!" Winnie's face showed a terrified expression, and a hint of resentment mixed with a hint of resentment. She was not as much as Levin knew. Her only knowledge of wizards was the witches in the mouths of those priests who wanted to burn her to death, witches! Wizard! It was these guys who ruined their own family and the evil wizard!
As soon as Levin saw her sister's expression, he knew that she had misunderstood. Winnie didn't even understand what magic was, and quickly explained, "Sir, he is different from the witches who were burned to death. He is a real wizard! Just like the kind of hero Merlin."
Even though he knew that there was no one here, Levin looked around and lowered his voice, "Those witches who were burned to death are not real witches, they are all scapegoats. They even said you are a witch, are you a witch?"
Winnie's little face relaxed. Indeed, the two fierce priests wanted to burn themselves to death, but they were really not witches.
Thinking of Yi Xiao’s generous move, Levin said again, “Believe me, my brother’s vision will not be wrong, we will live a good life.”
Winnie nodded with a dazed look, her eyes dazed. Seeing this, Levin thought that her sister might be hungry, so she quickly took out the big piece of bread, hugged her sister, and put it in her hand.
"Eat quickly, this is given to me by the gentleman. It's very delicious. I'll take you back after the meal." Levin did not dare to let his sister walk on the street with food, and the habit of traveling through the dark alleys for a long time made Levin not change from being a homeless person for a while.
The robbers and homeless men dare not attack the more decent businessmen, but they are not ruthless to their own kind. Levin temporarily forgot that his dress was considered a decent person.
Sure enough, modern bread made of flour, sugar and oil immediately conquered the little girl who had never eaten a full meal in the 17th century. After she took a bite, her eyes lit up and she immediately took several pieces of them. The scent of the smell aroused her deliberately forgotten hunger instinct.
The hunger in her belly made Winnie want to eat up all the bread immediately, but she thought of her brother again. Levine kept paying attention to the changes in Winnie's expression. Seeing this scene, she immediately understood what her sister was thinking, "I've eaten it, all these are left for you." Levine said.
Hearing this, Winnie felt relieved and ate the bread voraciously, without having to drink water, and she had not choked yet.
After seeing her sister eating bread, Levin felt relieved, thought for a while, then put the board back and continued to block the window, and then he quickly left the place with Winnie.
Winnie, who was lying on Levine's shoulder, savored the smell in her mouth. Thinking of Levine's words just now, a smile slowly appeared on her thin little face, and she became amazed at her future life.
...
By the time Levin returned to the stone fort, it was already the lively time in the morning. Carriages were slowly bumping on the road, dirty horses neighed in every corner, and more and more people began to appear on the streets.
Stores open for business, idle people or sailors who have just sobered up can be seen everywhere, but more people are rushing or small vendors selling along the street.
The poor women with wrinkles began to clean up the house. The poorly dressed servants were busy with their heads down. Occasionally, there were girls dressed in erratic clothes that suddenly poked out half of their snow-white bodies, causing a whistle below.
Levine, wearing a delicate black robe, did not attract too much attention. At most, the residents around him thought it was a down-and-out little noble or businessman passing by.
It was not until he hugged Winnie and entered the side door of the stone castle that had been empty for a long time that he attracted some gaze, but he was just curious.
Back in the stone castle, Levin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether Mr. Wizard woke up or not.
