On the morning of December 31, the bridges southern district, Church of Harvest.

Emlyn White is wearing a priest robe, standing in the kitchen, sometimes throwing different herbs into the big iron pot, supplemented by a certain amount of stirring.

After waiting for all the materials prepared in advance, he waited patiently for another ten minutes before using the iron spoon to scoop up the black liquid inside, and put them into the glass bottles and glasses next to them.

48, 49, 50 ... Emlyn glanced at the iron pot, and counted the prepared medicine.

After confirming the quantity, he picked up the large tray and sent a bottle of dark green liquid to the hall.

In the hall, most of the prayer seats were removed, and the ground was covered with broken blankets, where the plague infected people were lying or sleeping or groaning in pain.

Emlyn and Father Vatrovski cooperated, each carrying part of the medicine, and began to distribute from two directions.

In the first place is a middle-aged man with a sallow face. He was half busy, took the potion, and slurped it.

Handing back the bottle, he gratefully told Emlyn:

"White priest, thank you so much, I feel much better and a little stronger!"

Emlyn raised his chin and replied disdainfully:

"This is just a very small thing, and it is not worth thanking. You are so ignorant."

After finishing, he accelerated the distribution of medicine.

After ten minutes, he returned to the altar of Earth Goddess and complained to Father Vatrovski:

"You should find two more volunteers!"

Father Vatrovski did not respond, looking at the patients, gently smiling:

"In two or three days, they should be able to heal."

"How do you know?" Emlyn surprised his head.

Father Vatrovski looked down kindly and looks at said:

"Herbal medicine is one of the areas of Goddess'. As a believer, although he is not in the" Earth "path, he still needs to understand basic common sense."

Emlyn snorted:

"I am not interested in religion and don't know much about it."

Although I have often copied the scriptures of Earth Goddess in recent months ... He added a little bit of resentment in his heart, so he casually said:

"priest, I did n’t expect you to receive strangers, only two or three of them are Goddess' believers."

Father Vatrovski laughed indifferently:

"They are also lives, innocent lives."

Emlyn stayed for a few seconds, sighed, and said instead:

"priest, I have found a solution to Mental Suggestion, maybe I will leave here soon."

Wait, why should I mention this? I was touched by him. What if he closed me in the basement again? Emlyn was suddenly nervous.

Father Vatrovski ’s expression did not change, and he bowed his head looks at Emlyn:

"Actually, you don't need to find a way. After a while, Mental Suggestion will be released naturally, and you are free to choose whether to come to church."

"Wait for a while, I will become Goddess, no, Earth Goddess devout believer!" Emlyn blurted out.

Father Vatrovski lowered his eyebrows and said with a little surprise:

"I did not force you to change your faith.

"The Mental Suggestion I stayed just let you return to the church every day, I hope you can take this to fully appreciate the preciousness of life and the joy of harvest."

"Then Mental Suggestion's only role is to get me back to church?" Emlyn's expression was dull.

Father Vatrovski nodded calmly:

"Yes."

"..." Emlyn opened his mouth halfway, and slowly and mechanically turned back to look at the altar and Sacred Emblem of Life of "Earth Goddess", as if it had become human puppet in an instant.

In the evening of December 31, Thengen City, 2 Narcissus Flower Street.

Benson enters the house, taking off his hat and taking off his coat, while laughed:

"I have booked a steam train ticket to Beckland on January 3, the second-class seat."

The Melissa sitting in the restaurant, with several newspapers in front of him, said with a little worry:

"Benson, Beckland's air is too bad. Only a few days ago, tens of thousands of people died due to poisoning and disease caused by heavy smog ..."

"This is really a regrettable and sad thing." Benson went to the restaurant and sighed, "But higher and lower parliaments has passed the report of Air Pollution Investagatory Committee, and there will be corresponding legislation to regulate the discharge of smoke and wastewater It will be the new Beckland, you do n’t need to worry too much. ”

Speaking of which, he smiled sarcastically:

"When I came back from Iron Cross Street just now, I found that many factory owners or their employees from Beckland were recruiting there, saying that the factories there were understaffed due to smog and plague, so they Willingness to commit to working hours and minimum remuneration will be much stronger than current prevailing standards, hehe. "

"Do you think it is impossible?" Melissa asked sharply.

"When more and more people flock to Beckland, it is destined to be impossible, unless higher and lower parliaments can pass the corresponding bill to make regulations directly." Benson spread its hand and pointed to the dining table, "Okay We should welcome the New Year. "

The third officer knife and fork, three empty porcelain plates, and three cups were placed on the dining table.

Of the three glasses, one is beer and two are ginger beer.

…………

December 31, in the evening.

Dressed Audrey stood in the rest room, waiting for the start of the New Year ’s party, but from her expression, she could not see the excitement, excitement, and joy that was about to reach the adult ceremony.

She placed a newspaper in front of her and wrote:

"... According to preliminary statistics, a total of more than 21,000 people died directly in the haze, and the subsequent spread of the plague has taken away nearly 40,000 people. There are many young children, strong young men and women ... "

Huh, Audrey couldn't help closing his eyes.

At this moment, her father Earl Hall and his mother Mrs. Caitlin knocked on the door and praised in unison:

"Your beauty is better than everyone tonight, baby, it's time to go out, the queen is waiting for you."

Audrey slowly sighed, with an elegant and bright smile, accompanied by his father and mother, walked out of the rest room and entered the party hall.

She walked all the way to the forefront, and in a stunning gaze, she handed the elbowed gauze glove to the queen.

The queen led her to the edge of the platform and faced all the guests.

After a pause, the queen smiled:

"Although this is a dark period in the history of Beckland, we still have a gem that illuminates the entire city. Her wisdom, her beauty, her character, her manners are impeccable.

"Today, I will officially give her introduction to you.

"Miss Audrey Hall."

Boom! boom! boom!

Beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, fireworks lifted off, bursting out a piece of dreamy light.

In the evening of the last day of 1349, Audrey officially became an adult in a social sense.

…………

The afternoon of January 3, 1350.

On the outskirts of eastern district, in a newly opened cemetery,

Klein used divination to find the graves of old Kohler and Liv mothers and daughters.

This is not a tomb in the true sense, but a cabinet for storing urns, one after another, row after row, one overlapping and one heavy.

Klein stood there and saw that the old Kohler cabinet not only had no photo and epitaph, but also lacked the name.

Similar situations are not uncommon. There are too many unowned ashes that ca n’t find relatives and friends. What are their names, what they look like, what kind of experience they have, no one knows, also No one is interested, only the number on the cabinet can distinguish them.

Klein closed his eyes, pulled out a piece of note paper, shook it into a piece of iron, and carved a word on the cabinet door:

"Kohler."

Next, he added his epitaph:

"He is a good worker. He once had a wife and a pair of children, and he worked hard to live."

Withdrawing his wrist and throwing it away, Klein, with his dark-haired brown pupil and thin face, made the paper burn in his hands, as if paying homage to all the souls here.

For the Daisy who lost his mother and sister, he did not directly come to help, but wrote an anonymous letter to the Mike Joseph reporter, describing the girl ’s plight in detail, so as not to involve the other party because of his own affairs.

Mike reporter has seen Daisy, knows her things, and enthusiastically promoted the establishment of the corresponding charity fund. Therefore, Klein believes that he will help Daisy get more help so that she can complete basic education and find enough Stable work to feed yourself.

Two steps back, Klein looked around, leaving only the names and photos, and even the victims who did n’t have them all got their eyes.

He raised his head, exhaled slowly, turned his body, and left the cemetery.

On the steam train bound for Beckland, Melissa focused on looks at textbooks, and Benson quickly chatted with the surrounding passengers.

"It's too expensive, too expensive, a full 10shilling, half a pound!" A young man of less than thirty sighed heartily, "If you can't buy third-class seats and ferry tickets recently, I I won't spend this money at all, which is equal to my salary for more than half a week! "

"Indeed, too many people go to Beckland after the New Year." Benson echoed.

The strong man put away his distressed expression and said with expectation:

"Because they promised 21shilling a week and promised to work no more than 12 hours a day, we signed the contract!

"When I rent a house and get my first salary, my wife will also go to Beckland. She should be able to find a good job. There are 12 or 13shilling in a week. Beckland is said to be very lacking! By then, ah, We add up to more than one and a half pounds a week, so we can eat meat often! "

"Your wish will certainly be fulfilled. The king has signed an order to allow the implementation of the bill that sets the minimum remuneration and working hours." Benson sincerely blessed the sentence and smiled immediately, "There is 'Land of Hope' there." /

Wū !

The steam train arrived at Beckland with countless hopeful people. At this time, the sky was still bright, the mist in the air was thinner, and the gas lamp hanging above the platform no longer lighted up early.

Benson is very experienced in protecting his sister and wallet, carrying a suitcase, and following the crowd, walked out of the station.

Suddenly, they felt a glance at the same time.

Looking around, Benson and Melissa saw a young gentleman with neat black hair and pupils dark brown.

The gentleman wearing gold-rimmed glasses pressed top hat, his eyes crossed them, and he cast a distance.

Benson and Melissa also retracted their gazes, looking at the pillars of smoke in the garden of the street, looking forward to seeing the underground traffic of Beckland.

The Klein carried a suitcase, and passed by them straight and facelessly, facing the large crowd of people who poured into "Land of Hope", and the people who had great expectations in their anxieties, and entered the departure station.

This is the worst era, this is the best era.
