When he walked out of the tavern, it was already dark. The cold wind was blowing against his face, but Lorraine's heart was burning.
There were many people gathered outside the tavern waiting to go in and eat and drink. When they saw Lorraine coming out with a lot of food, they all cheered. They all felt that they could also eat and drink, which was a great pleasure.
Only his father was left in the Lorraine family waiting outside. When he saw the bread and bacon in the child's hands, the old father burst into tears.
"Father, I think I might have an opportunity." Lorraine couldn't hold back the joy in her heart and lowered her voice to her father, eager to share it with her family.
The old man didn't know why, but he nodded repeatedly, took Lorraine's hand and said, "Go back to the hotel first. Your mother and younger brothers and sisters can't stand the cold wind outside, but they are all still hungry."
The father and son protected the hard-won food and hurried back to a nearby cheap hotel. The family lived in a basement, which was dark and dark. Walking in was like entering a hole in the ground.
Lorraine's younger brothers and sisters were so hungry that they could not speak. Only when they heard Lorraine's shout did they open their eyes slightly and smell the faint fragrance of pancakes.
Lorraine's parents stopped their child from eating immediately. They first asked the hotel owner for some hot water, soaked the pancakes until soft, and then slowly swallowed them. The family ate in silence in the dark, laughing with satisfaction from time to time.
There were tears and cries.
After waiting for his younger siblings to eat and go to bed, Lorraine had time to talk about his experience tonight. His parents were both honest and poor people. They didn't understand what they heard, but they both lamented that their children had good luck, at least they gave their family a lot of money.
Bring food.
"I don't know who organized this free meal, but I feel that he must have an agenda. I feel that my performance today is pretty good and I should be appreciated. No matter what you ask me to do, I am willing to do it."
The Lorraine family has no choice. They have seen countless people starving to death and freezing to death. People in the hotel are driven out to the street every day because they cannot pay a few copper coins. Tonight is the last night for their family.
,tomorrow......
"Maybe I should wait in front of the hotel, or even in front of the tavern. If they want to find me, they can't miss it." Lorraine left the tavern and only focused on delivering food to her family, without thinking much about anything else.
Thinking that his future and even the lives of his whole family might be lost, Lorraine couldn't sit still. He left the basement, rushed out of the hotel, and stumbled towards the pub in the dark night.
It was already late at night, and a large group of people gathered outside the tavern. People from all walks of life heard the news - a rich man from the south was entertaining guests in the tavern. They all crowded in, regardless of whether they were invited or not.
Not going.
Lorraine was so short that he couldn't even see the door of the tavern behind the crowd. All his expectations were based on speculation. At this moment, he was inevitably worried about gains and losses and was in an impetuous mood.
After thinking about it, Lorraine decided to go around to the back door of the tavern and try to find a way to meet the two people who had tested him - the back door was indeed deserted, with only a torch lighting up the door.
A halfling girl was squatting on the trash can at the back door of the tavern, chewing chicken legs. On the ground were seven or eight unlucky guys who had fainted. When she saw Lorraine, she sneered: "Boy, you are too thin, don't come in here."
At this level, I will beat you to death."
Ah... Lorraine had never seen this halfling before. But he did not intend to give up, but pleadingly said: "Hello, madam. My name is Lorraine, Eve Lorraine. I am from
Those who came out of the tavern must go in now."
Hearing the name, the halfling girl raised her head slightly, looked at it, and asked: "Eve? This is a girl's name."
"Yes, I am a girl." Lorraine touched her short hair and simple clothes, and said nervously: "This is more convenient, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble. But I can work like a boy."
"Oh, then I can't let you in." The halfling girl refused mercilessly, "Just wait until tomorrow. Maybe someone will look for you."
"Why?" Lorraine asked, "Did I do something wrong?"
"I promised a stupid woman named Inisha not to let a stupid boy have contact with too many young girls, lest he eat them outside. Although you are not beautiful, I can't let you in."
What's the reason for this?
Lorraine shouted urgently: "No..., don't do this. I have a family to support, and I need a job. Otherwise, my family will starve to death and freeze to death."
You are certainly not without purpose in inviting so many people to dinner tonight. You are selecting people, right? I can definitely do it. Please, let me do anything."
After finishing a chicken leg, the halfling girl spit out the chicken bones. She still refused to give in and hummed: "You are the most dangerous person who can do anything. Even I am afraid. You should wait for news.
, definitely not tonight."
After all this, how could Lorraine wait any longer? She still wanted to beg, but suddenly she saw a gray hidden servant emerging from the light of the torch at the back door, and looked around.
The halfling girl was shocked when she saw the hidden servant. She jumped up and ran away, shouting: "Oops, that silly boy's temper is getting worse and worse. He is actually angry. He really can't stand teasing!"
Within three seconds, the back door of the tavern was kicked open by someone. A tall young man stood out from the flying debris and cursed at the fleeing halfling girl: "Kelly, I let you
Guard the back door, who allows you to interfere in my private affairs? Do you want to die!"
The halfling girl ran away long ago, leaving only a series of laughter.
The young man glared again, and the timid Lorraine shivered under his glare. The latter quickly said: "Sir, I want to go in. I want to find a job."
"What is your name?"
"Eve Lorraine. I..., I am a girl." Lorraine thought of the conversation she had just heard and suddenly realized something. She arranged her short hair, pulled the corners of her clothes, and tried her best to
Give yourself a good image.
"Come to the tavern tomorrow." The young man turned around after saying that, "It's too chaotic right now, I don't have time to take care of you."
Lorraine shouted: "Sir, can we talk now? I still have a family, my parents, my brothers and sisters, but we have no money for food and accommodation. We will be kicked out of the hotel tomorrow."
The young man turned his head again, took out a coin and threw it out, saying bluntly: "Don't talk so much nonsense, I said it will be tomorrow."
Lorraine stretched out her hands to catch the coin, and when she spread it out in the palm of her hand, she saw that it was a bright yellow gold coin. When she looked up again, the young man had disappeared and walked away casually.
Oh my god, gold coins, they are gold coins as soon as you take action!
Generous, generous, generous!
This kind of man insists on getting it!
The girl Lorraine was elated and shouted ecstatically: "Thank you, sir. Thank you so much. I will definitely come tomorrow, I will definitely come. I can do anything you want me to do. I promise, I can do anything for you."
