Every morning, he hugged his wife and stayed in bed. He went out to have breakfast at noon and strolled around the vegetable market. At noon, she often cooked and washed dishes. When he was interested, they would walk around the city. The most common place was the seaside. This was aristocratic area, and ordinary civilians would be questioned if they came in, but when they saw his manners, the soldiers patrolling would automatically let them go. There were many gorgeous villas with red tiles and white walls scattered by the sea, and the roads and fences were very particular. They watched the boats go far away and the seabirds flew back until the sun was at the end of the sea to render the magnificent golden yellow.

There is a small yard behind the dilapidated house where there is a ragged swing. Tang Yi found time to repair it and play with Xiaoxue. However, unless Tang Yi talked to her, Xiaoxue would not usually sit. Xiaoxue doesn't like to play because there is no atmosphere of playing in the forest. Later, all her interests were put on Tang Yi. As long as Tang Yi was there, she would be happy in everything she did.

At night, he also learned that the woman's name was Eve. She might not have a relative relationship with the boys who lived with them. It is said that she had a good family background before, but later her family fell into trouble and got sick again. She lost everything overnight. But she is undoubtedly a good person. Most of the children she took in had physical problems. At present, she basically has difficulty living alone. Because the disease may be contagious, she has always been extremely difficult to find a job. She often spends five or six times more effort than ordinary people to earn a salary. Speaking of which, the income from performing with Tang Yi is the most relaxed amount of money she can get.

As the day approaches the dawn festival, the festive atmosphere in the city is getting stronger and stronger. Celebrations in slums are often more active and relaxed than those in the aristocratic areas. Parades, bonfire dances, and performances held in the open-air squares. All the activities are being prepared. During this period, a arrogant deacon came to visit Tang Yi, who came to prepare for the party.

"Well, because I know that a good magician has come here and someone has recommended you again, so we consider letting you perform at the party. As long as you perform well, the reward is absolutely no problem, and it is possible that you may be selected by a large opera troupe... However, you, who had only performed here for more than ten days, are not qualified, even if your performance is indeed unique..."

The fat deacon rubbed his fingers and obviously asked for a bribe. Tang Yi was not surprised at this. As long as he dressed up, I believe that the Wall family would not recognize him. The reward seemed to be quite expensive, just what he hoped. However, just as he was about to take out the money from his pocket, the guy added:

"But your partner can't go up to perform with you. I heard that she has an infectious disease, right? No, no, such dirty people who deserve to be burned to death in the fire cannot go on stage..."

Then the man was kicked out amidst the yelling and scolding. If he was saying that the other party's piano skills were too poor, Tang Yi could understand, but just because he was sick, he said he wanted to burn the person to death, which would be beyond his tolerance.

Three days before the New Year was preparing for the New Year, Tang Yi began to stop performing and said hello to Eve, but Eve still sat in front of the door and played the piano every night, collecting the pitiful few copper coins. Tang Yi could feel that she seemed very anxious, or was troubled by something troubled, but because the other party was mostly troubled by money-related issues, she was not rich, so she didn't want to make things boring. Occasionally, she was good for people who were good at physical and mental health, but she was still a little far from being kind-hearted people who sacrificed themselves.

The things I prepared for the New Year have been bought two days ago. I have eaten a lot. I have prepared to make hot pot and a few new magic props. Tang Yi is preparing to train and make Xiaoxue happy. A few magic lights that will emit colorful lights, and a cheap harmonica. Although he is more skilled in playing the flute, the refreshing and flexible sound of the harmonica may be more liked by Xiaoxue.

I was still lying on bed in the morning. Last night, I thought that another year had passed, and I felt mixed feelings and was much more excited than usual. I had no time to play here. The only thing I could use to spend my boring time was naturally Xiaoxue's attractive body. She had a beautiful woman who was obedient and could be hugged at any time... Well, it doesn't matter if I return to my birthday...

Still holding the delicate and graceful naked body, Xiaoxue woke up at some point, and was quietly looking at him with her cute big eyes open. After beating and yawning, he kissed Xiaoxue's lips lightly, turned around, and pressed her under her.

"Good morning……"

Gurgling softly, he suppressed his desire to rise again, struggled to get up, put on his clothes, and washed up briefly. Xiaoxue was already preparing breakfast. After all, there was basically nothing sold outside at this time today. Warm celebrations came from outside the door. After eating the nominal breakfast, it was actually noon. The two of them were dressed up and went out. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble from Xiaoxue's overly beautiful appearance, when she got off from the "Silver Viper", Xiaoxue began to wear a white cloak. Because she tightly wrapped her body and covered most of her face, she still saw the two of them proclaiming after going out, "Ah, I saw that illusionist and Eve go out, and they hugged each other very intimately..." and other admirable rumors.

It is not the first time that Tang Yi is called an illusionist. Although Tang Yi always declares that this is called magic, everyone thinks that this is just a relatively clever illusion.

The door next door was locked. I thought Eve and his children went out again. It was always easier to find some work during the festival. Tang Yi hugged Xiaoxue and squeezed into the crowd of people in the parade. There were various juggling teams in front of him. The floats followed behind were performing legendary stories of this world. The princess struggled for love, and the warriors slayed swords and slaughtered dragons. After swimming in the entire slums for a long time, more performances joined in from time to time. At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon,

When you go to the bustling commercial area, you will occasionally see huge handmade posters: "The Vow of Virgins is performing at the Danma Grand Theater this month, time: ****. Charge: ****." He actually only knows those numbers. The portrait of Nancy Isseverin, the main actor of the Vow of Virgins, is hand-painted, and the image of the woman in the image is a bit blurry, with the corners of his mouth rising high, as if he is sending out some unlucky warning.

Except for those selling snacks and snacks, most shops on the street have been closed and crowded in the crowd. Tang Yi saw Eve's figure in a shop next to her. She was still wearing the dirty soap-colored cloak, kneeling on the ground and scrubbing the floor with a rag. Two disabled children were helping her. Even though the climate of Danma was higher than that in other places, it was in the harsh winter and the air was still cold. But she reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead from time to time, and she kept pulling down the cloak to cover her slightly exposed head and face. Something that was incompatible with the festive atmosphere at this moment entered his heart.

It was neither sympathy nor sadness, but a kind of loneliness and silence that seemed to be far away from reality. For a moment, the noise of the crowd around seemed to have decreased a lot, and something around him was indeterminately blurring. He hugged Xiaoxue's hand tightly.

"Ayi, what's wrong?"

The sensitive Xiaoxue noticed something wrong with him and pressed her closer to her body.

"Well, nothing, look there."

"Huh? It's the sister Eve whom you partner with every day. Are we going to help her?"

"...No need." After sighing, Tang Yi said softly, "We are here to play, not to do things. Let me tell you, I heard that there are very beautiful magic to watch at night, ah, but unfortunately there are no fireworks..."

The fire in this world seems to exist in the mind of an unborn genius alchemist. Of course, he did not want to see fireworks, but thought that Xiaoxue might like it. In fact, he has always hated the noise of firecrackers and never felt that there was any festive atmosphere inside.

As the crowd continued to move forward, when he turned the corner, he saw a boy crying and squeezing over the other side of the street, and then ran to the shop where Eve worked. It was the only normal boy among the few children. He looked twelve or thirteen years old and looked pretty good, but he was a little withdrawn and introverted. It was said that he was sick before, but with Eve's efforts, he finally cured him. The boy ran to the store, cried and said something to the three of them. Then Eve stood up in shock, hurriedly closed the store, and squeezed into the other street with the boy.

"Xiaoxue, let's go and have a look."

After all, he didn't want to see them in too much trouble, so Tang Yi and Xiaoxue followed from a distance. Through several streets, they arrived near the Danma Grand Theater. A group of people were watching the fun in the distance. When they squeezed in, they immediately understood what was going on.

It was at the door of a noble shop next to the Grand Theater. The boy with a little ingenious ears who lived with Eve was being taken off his shirt and hung on the beam of the house. His body was covered in purple and covered with blood marks on his face. The child was named Sammy, the oldest among the children. Among the children, he was the most sensible. However, when he was hung here, the reason why those people beat him was because he stole something.

"...Damn the untouchables, you dare to go to the master's shop to steal things. Can those valuable things be touched by dirty hands like yours? Damn, after stealing things, you dare to hide there and listen to the music of the virgin oath. You really don't take me seriously, right? You can actually jump out of the stairs... Beat me, hit me first! Beat me hard, and beat me to death..."

The shop was next to the Grand Theater, which was not far from the balcony and the window of the Grand Theater. You could vaguely hear the rehearsal sounds inside. I thought that the child was hiding here to listen to music after stealing things, so he was caught. Then he jumped down from the upper floor and broke one of his legs. At this moment, he seemed terrible. With the aristocrat scolding, the thugs around him showed no mercy. A man in front of him was whipped with a whip, and from time to time someone hit the weak body with a stick. When Eve saw this, she cried and pounced on him.

As usual, they cried and begged for mercy. The thugs naturally did not stop. However, the nobleman saw Eve's figure and walked over with a sneer: "Yeah, it looks like a beauty. Who is this kid? You know, if a commoner dares to steal things from the noble's property, then no one can control it if he beats him to death. But..."

The nobleman smiled and raised Eve's chin, reached into his cloak, looked at Eve's tears and touched his face, and then he wondered, "What?"

He lifted his cloak a little, and the nobleman suddenly stepped out two steps as if he was scorched by fire, picked up a whip and whipped it over: "...I'm sick! Why haven't a patient like you been burned to death yet? Oh, if it is transmitted to the young master to see that the young master will not torture you to death..."

The whip slapped Eve's left shoulder with a "pop". The cloth flew and blood splashed out. The nobleman still wanted to whip the second whip. Tang Yi rushed out: "Stop!"

The whip shadow flew down, and then, with a "brush" sound, the cold light danced like a painting. While cutting the long whip into pieces, Xiaoxue, holding the Damascus knife, rushed up like lightning.

With a "clang--" sound, the nobleman seemed to have also practiced martial arts and pulled out the sword at his waist in time, but was eventually cut off by Xiaoxue with a knife. The man flew two meters away. Tang Yi, who reacted, quickly shouted: "Stop Xiaoxue!"

This suddenly became hasty. When everyone reacted, the noble had already fallen on the steps. He looked at the woman in a white cloak walking back to Tang Yi with fear, and held his hand affectionately: "Who are you...?"

"Oh, sorry, sorry, it's just a misunderstanding..." I don't know how to explain it, Tang Yi smiled dryly and shook his hand, "I know this kid. I believe that stealing things is just a mistake and just beaten to death like this. Doesn't it seem like you are too small? If you beat it like this, I think it's enough... By the way, has he broken your things?"

"Then... there is no..." The nobleman stood up with lingering fear, staring at the girl who seemed delicate and gentle standing beside Tang Yi. If Tang Yi had called him a little later just now, he had no doubt that the terrible girl had rushed up to kill him, "But if you say you let it go, I'm not very shameful. Who are you? Which family are you from?"

"Oh, I'm not a nobleman." Tang Yi nodded, "But there is a Mrs. Catherine who is my friend. Look, can you give me some face..." As he said, he took out the silver medal from his arms that Mrs. Catherine gave him. Originally, if the other party had too much power, he would not want to cause trouble to Mrs. Catherine, but he had just heard that this man was just a viscount. I think that Mrs. Catherine's show should be affordable.

Sure enough, when he took the silver medal over, the man immediately looked up, and then waved his hand: "Since that's the case, I'll give you a face... I'll control this guy well, don't let him come out again... Although there should be no chance..." He looked at the boy who was beaten to death and asked the beating followers to leave. When he removed Sammy from the beam, the boy seemed to be dying.

"Sami, Sammy...you, are you okay? Does it hurt? Does it hurt? Tell me how I feel...how can I do such a thing? Even if we are short of money, we can't do it. Don't talk, don't talk, we will take you to see a doctor..."

Eve had already cried so badly, but seemed to be worried about the illness on her body, but she did not dare to hug him. In desperation, Tang Yi had to hug the boy covered in blood. Sammy coughed weakly, but her body was too severely injured and only a few blood foam was spitting out of her mouth. Tang Yi hurriedly said, "Stop talking, it's important to find a doctor right away. Eve, do you know where there is a doctor?"

"I know, I know... There is an old man named Sean in the lower third district. He is a very good person and receives little money for treatment. Let's go and find him..."

In this world, Tang Yi has felt the inconvenience of information disconnection more than once. The Lower Three District is not close to here, and it takes a lot of time to rush over. However, most of the shops around here are closed, and I can't find out where there are herbal doctors. As for the priests of the Light God Palace, most of them gathered near the prayer altar to pray, and the distance was several times longer. In desperation, he had to pick up Sammy and run to the slums named Lower Three District.

When we got there, we saw that it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was low in the west. When we arrived at Sean's house, we found out that he was going out to watch the show and had not come back yet. Sammy seemed quite strong and was still struggling to hold on. Everyone hurriedly found someone to go out to find the old doctor. Fortunately, this time, he found the man soon after.

It was an elderly kind old man. Seeing Sammy's appearance, he gave him first aid without saying a word. However, after a moment, he still shook his head: "This child is too seriously injured, and the organs in his body have been injured. I can only do some surface bandages, probably... "

Looking at his expression of wanting to speak, everyone naturally knew what was going on. While Eve and the three children cried, Tang Yi finally knew the reason why Sammy went to steal. It turned out that these people were living together because of physical defects. After treating the child named Randall, Eve felt that he was flexible, so she pieced together and found some money to give him to a civilian school. From then on, during the period when school was about to start every year, everyone had to worry about his tuition for a while. This year, they had to go to school after the New Year, but the tuition was still a lot short of it. Everyone was trying to find a way for the money. Sammy was anxious for a moment and actually thought of stealing.

Alas, people with ear problems go stealing things, isn’t this covering the ears and stealing the bell…

Tang Yi thought in his heart, feeling a little sad. If he had known that such a thing would have happened earlier, he would have been able to help them get the fee, but now everything he said was futile. He ran around with Sammy all the way, and he seemed to have suddenly got an answer. He walked into the inner room to drink water, rested for a while, and when he came out again, Eve was gone.
