Just a glance, Claire didn't move, and then saw a little girl running over from nowhere, hugged the lamb in her arms, and looked at herself vigilantly.
It was a six- or seven-year-old girl with brown hair and a pale yellow complexion. She looked a little malnourished, but from her smart eyes and delicate face, it could be seen that she would definitely be a beautiful embryo in the future.
But Claire is not a lo*ic*n, so she doesn't have bad thoughts about a little girl.
"Hello." Claire waved and greeted with a friendly smile.
But the girl was timid and didn't dare to say hello to Claire. She just looked at Claire with her big smart eyes, but she was not so vigilant. The big brother didn't look like he was here to steal his lamb.
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Claire continued to keep a friendly smile: "My name is Claire, what's your name?"
The girl looked down at the sheep in her hand, then at Claire, and finally lowered her head and said in a very small voice, "Merry."
The voice was so small that if Claire hadn't listened carefully, Ben wouldn't have been able to hear it, but since the other party was willing to tell him his name, he could be considered to have such a good impression of him.
After all, the original owner of Claire's looks is not bad, and with his friendly smile, it is normal for a little girl to have a good impression of him.
He tentatively took a few steps forward, but the other party didn't run away. Claire calmed down and walked slowly to the position in front of Meili.
He squatted down, took out a candy wrapped in colorful candy paper from his arms, and handed it over: "Will you eat this candy?"
It can be seen that Mei Li swallowed saliva subconsciously in her throat. Although she had eaten candy, it was all black candy. She had never seen such colorful candy before.
Moreover, she has never eaten a few brown sugars on weekdays. This colorful candy must be many times better than brown sugar.
Although her head was still hesitating, Mei Li's little hand reached out unconsciously, and her smart eyes were full of desire.
"Merry! Don't take it!" A shout suddenly rang out, and a boy taller than Claire ran over from a distance, pulled Meili out of Claire's face at once, and handed out Claire's The colorful candy fell to the ground with a slap.
Crane pulled his sister out for several meters at once, then hid Meili behind him, and looked at Claire in front of him with a wary expression.
Claire shook her aching wrist, the slap from the other party was too strong, and it really hurt him.
But he didn't care, this is just a brother who loves his younger sister, he's not that small.
"Merry, didn't I tell you, don't eat anything from strangers." At this time, Crane still reminded his sister.
But Mei Li didn't seem to be paying attention to him, but looked at the colorful candy that had been slapped on the ground with a distressed expression, and licked her lips, even if it was brown candy, she hadn't eaten it for months. .
Claire noticed Meili's gaze, and immediately picked up the candy that had been photographed. It was wrapped in candy paper, so it wouldn't be a big problem even if it fell to the ground.
Didn't care either, Claire tore the candy paper and put the candy inside into his mouth.
At this time, even Crane couldn't help swallowing, let alone Meili behind him, the saliva was about to flow out.
"Look, the candy I gave her is fine." Claire explained, "How old are you?"
The reason for asking this is because the other party's majestic height of more than 1.9 meters actually has a delicate face that looks not too old, so Claire couldn't judge the other party's age for a while, and just said hello. , pull into the relationship.
Although Crane remained vigilant, he replied, "I'm sixteen years old this year."
Claire nodded slightly, um, he is the same age as me, and he is actually a head taller than me, and the strength just now was quite strong.
But this is also normal. He is a junior magician. He will only compare his height and muscles with those warriors when he has cerebral palsy.
"Are you a knight?" Claire continued to ask.
"No, I'm still far from being an apprentice knight." Crane shook his head, but his eyes were full of hope, "But I will definitely become a great knight in the future!"
"Oh!" Claire asked, "Why?"
"Because after becoming a knight, the family will be able to have enough to eat, and the conditions of the family will improve."
Speaking of such a simple wish, Crane blushed a little, but it was indeed his wish, and he has been working hard for it.
Only then did Claire realize that even this tall and sturdy older brother had a pale face and was in a state of malnutrition just like his younger sister.
After being silent for a while, Claire smiled again, "Your wish is very great, and it will definitely come true in the future."
"Really?" Crane became a little excited after being encouraged.
"Well, although I don't know if you can become a knight or not, it is possible to have enough food." Claire said softly, there was a saying in a previous life, isn't the most important thing in a person's life is to eat enough? ?
Now that he has become the lord of this territory, he is obliged to feed his people.
"What about my dream? Is it great too?" Crane asked. In the past, when he told his dream, he would be laughed at by others, but it seemed that the person in front of him was different.
"I think it's great, isn't it the greatest thing to be able to protect your family?"
"Yeah!" Crane nodded vigorously.
Claire took out two colored candies from her arms like magic, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat candy now?"
Crane was still a little hesitant. Although the big brother in front of him didn't look like a bad person, his mother once told him not to take things from strangers.
Claire didn't know whether to laugh or cry, why is she now like a bad guy who kidnaps children.
"Klan, where are you, Mei Li?"
A cry came from out of nowhere and echoed in this wheat field.
"Mom, we are here." My sister jumped up and waved.
Soon a woman ran over, hugged her sister at once, and protected Crane, who was much taller than her, behind her, looking at Claire with a wary expression.
"Uh uh..." Claire hesitated before speaking, why is it so difficult to give candy to herself.
After the younger sister came a brother, and after the elder brother came a mother, should the father come next?
Before Claire could speak, the woman took her child's hand and walked out, keeping her eyes on Claire to prevent him from doing anything.
Obviously, he is very afraid of outsiders.
It was at this time that Reagan also came over.
"Master, where are you? It's time to go." Regan shouted loudly, but before Claire could respond, he found it.
He trotted all the way and stood respectfully behind Claire. Just as he was about to speak to persuade Claire, he saw the three mother and son opposite.
Reagan frowned subconsciously, "Master, why are you here with these bastards... civilians." Halfway through, Reagan thought of what Claire had just said and immediately changed his tune.
"Who are you! Why are you here?" The woman became more vigilant when she saw that Reagan was coming, and picked up a stone from the ground and pointed it at them.
Regan was furious, pointed at the three of them and scolded: "Do you know who he is! This is Lord Viscount, the only heir of the Griffin family. How dare you point a stone at the young master!"
Reagan wanted to continue talking, but was stopped by Claire's wave.
Claire could see that after Reagan revealed his identity, the woman's expression changed drastically, from the original vigilance to fear, and the fear on her face could be felt with her own eyes.
"Plop!"
The woman immediately dropped the stone in her hand, UU reading www. uukanshu. Com took his son and daughter to his knees, with a humble look on his face.
Claire suddenly stepped aside, and by the way, pulled Reagan over. To be bowed down for no reason in his hometown would cost his life, and he still hadn't adapted to the status of a noble here.
"Master noble, we are almost ready to pay our taxes this month. I beg you to spare us a few days." The woman pleaded bitterly, how could she just look fiercely protecting her children.
That humble and dignified appearance made Claire feel a little awkward and uncomfortable. Then she looked at the two children who were dragged by the woman to their knees.
In the normal eyes of the two, after knowing that he was a noble viscount, they suddenly became fearful, and their sisters were curled up and squeezed into their mother's arms. There is only boundless fear.
The woman didn't dare to lift her head, she kept kneeling on the ground, and begged again, "Please don't increase the tax, otherwise our family will not be able to survive."
Claire looked at the mother and son in front of her, her heart trembled, and the expression on her face immediately became cold.
He really couldn't bear to look directly at such a humble and tragic state. After being silent for a while, he turned his head and left. He didn't want to see such a scene, and he didn't want to be worshipped by the three of them.
"Reagan, give them ten silver coins."
Although Regan was puzzled, after seeing his young master walking away, he still took out ten silver coins from his arms and threw them on the ground.
"This is what the young master gave you, so don't hurry up and say thank you!"
"Thank you! Thank you!" The woman thanked in a streak.
After Claire walked away, she took her child's hand and stood up.
