There was a sound from outside the house. The sound was extremely small, but it could not escape Esther's ears.
"Now that you've heard it, where do you want to run, kid?" Esther sneered.
Ronnie was surprised to find that the man who was standing in the room suddenly appeared in front of him. This made him sit down on the ground in fright, with an expression on his face that he had seen a ghost.
.
Ronny pointed back and forth between Esther and the room with trembling hands, and kept repeating, "You, you...", but he couldn't say the second half of the sentence. He
I was really scared.
A long time ago, there were often stories of lost children in the village. The story told about a man who would kidnap disobedient children and make them disappear. Ronnie didn't believe this story, at least until he met Esther.
I don't believe it.
But now that he saw Est appearing in front of him out of thin air, he felt that Est was the man in the story who would kidnap children.
Esther didn't know that the boy he caught was so rich in inner thoughts. He only knew that the other person had been standing outside for a long time, listening to what they just said in the room. Esther knew that this guy
Heard it all.
As for why he wasn't caught before, it was because Esther wanted to catch a strong man.
"I, I didn't hear anything, I was just passing by." Ronnie put his hands in front of himself, as if he was afraid that Esther would eat him.
It's just that what he said has completely exposed himself. There is no three hundred taels of silver here. It's a pity that Ronnie doesn't know this allusion.
Esther reached out and twisted Ronnie up from the ground like a chicken. At this time, Crow also walked out of the house. She saw Ronnie and greeted him kindly as before.
: "Hello, Ronnie, thank you for the bread you brought earlier."
Ronnie didn't know why Crow was so calm. Could it be that Crow was also the one who abducted the children in the story? Just thinking about it, Ronnie felt that if he was abducted by Crow, it wouldn't be so difficult to accept, and he didn't feel as scared as before.
Already.
Esther, who was pinching Ronnie, saw all the changes in the other person's expression. How could he not see what was going on in this guy's mind? After all, Ronnie suddenly became quiet after seeing Crow.
There is no doubt that this guy has a crush on crows.
"Bread, did he bring the bread that was full of starch before?" For a moment, Esther was a little unsure whether this guy really liked crows. After all, who gives gifts and inferior products?
"No, it's not starch, it's just because the raw materials are not enough." Ronnie quickly explained, he didn't want to lose points in Crow Heart.
Esther did not dwell on why there was insufficient ingredients, but said fiercely: "You have heard what we talked about before. You have no right to refuse. Answer my question."
Ronnie shrank his head, but he still remembered what Mrs. Wood said. Miss Crow had a boyfriend, who must be strong enough to twist him up easily. Ronnie couldn't figure it out, but Esther didn't look like that.
Strong, why do you have so much strength?
Being caught in someone's hands, Ronnie also knew that he could not escape, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Do you want to know about Pani's father?"
"Do you know where he is now?" Esther asked.
Ronnie nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and replied: "I know, um, can you put me down?"
Being screwed so easily by a man, and in front of the person he liked, Ronnie felt very embarrassed.
Esther didn't care about so much. After putting Ronnie down, he continued: "Take us there. You should have heard our conversation just now. It is also to save your own village."
Ronnie may not trust Esther, but he trusts Crow very much. Crow's time in the village not only cured Mr. Wood's illness, but also cured his father's long-term occupational diseases.
"Okay, I'll take you there, but can you tell me what happened?"
"Ronnie, there are some things you'd better not know." At this time, Crow said.
Sometimes, the more you know, the quicker you die.
The old man who moved away from here is now also in danger.
Seeing this, Ronnie was too embarrassed to continue asking, so he could only take Esther and Crow to his home first.
There is a huge chimney behind Ronnie's house, emitting white smoke. It should be a bakery used to bake bread. His father works in it during the day and rarely comes out.
There is a smell of bread everywhere in Ronnie's house. To be honest, just by smelling it, the bread should taste very good, but for some reason, the finished product actually tastes very average.
"The ingredients are a bit tight recently, so I can only make it like this. I will go to the town later to buy some goods, and I will take the bread I made today to sell." Ronnie said.
"Stressed about the food?" Looking at the harvest fields outside, Esther didn't think it looked like he was nervous about the food.
"Because of the rat plague, a lot of rats will appear in the warehouse at this time every year and eat the freshly harvested grains. There have been several troubles in my warehouse. I just hired some trappers a few days ago.
The Rats came here, and now we feel a little calmer," Nick said.
Crow also said at this time: "Before, Mrs. Wood's farm also suffered from rat infestations, and a team of rat hunters was specially hired."
Esther nodded and did not continue on this issue.
"Why did you bring us to your house?"
It’s better not to tell him that the old man is living in Ronnie’s house now.
"I'm going to the town later. You can go together in my car. Pani's father lives in the town now." Nick said.
Esther looked at Ronnie's youthful face, and couldn't help but wonder if this kid could really drive?
But Ronnie can indeed drive, and he is an experienced driver. Normally, he would drive his own van to sell bread in the town, but today he only took two people with him.
After getting the car keys from Ronnie's father, the three of them drove to the town.
After entering the town, Esther finally felt that he was living in modern times. Although this was just a town, it was small and well-equipped. There was almost everything in the town, which could fully meet the daily needs of the people living here.
"I have to buy some ingredients first, and then I will take you to find Pani's father." Ronnie said hastily and ran to the nearest market.
Esther wasn't afraid that he would run away, but while Ronnie was going shopping, he and Crow didn't know what to do.
"Why don't you take a stroll here?" Suddenly, Crow said from the side.
