Chapter 200: Little Sandworm Snack
Chapter 200: Little Sandworm Snack
Less than two minutes later, Nellie came out. She briefly said a few words to the little boy named Willy and left. Before leaving, she asked Finn and Weiguang to leave a few more green wheat cakes here.
At the last second before closing the door, Caesar saw an old lady with wrinkles all over her face walking out of the room with a deathly look on her face.
The wooden door was closed again and the carriage continued to move forward. They still had many houses to visit one by one and had no time to stay here for long.
"Oh." Nellie sighed.
"His grandmother is in poor health and probably won't live for many days. There's nothing I can do about it."
Nellie said dejectedly: "She has reached the end of her life span, but her concern for her offspring has kept her alive until now."
"When she dies, the child named Willy will be alone."
Caesar didn't know what to say, he just touched her head.
Nellie didn't seem to be in a good mood, and simply rubbed Caesar's hand with her head.
Willy's family was one of the few that Caesar and his team could communicate with at the beginning. The others just opened the door a crack, took the donated supplies and Thanksgiving meals, and then closed the door without even a word of thanks.
But Nellie, Weiguang and Fen all looked normal and didn't look discouraged at all.
Many people directly rejected the Holy See's release of holy light and only wanted the supplies distributed by the Holy See.
It's a very normal thing, there's nothing much to say. Just be true to your own heart, have helped, done your best, and have a clear conscience.
This is the wisdom that light brings to them.
But Caesar felt a little unhappy. He always felt as if the people in the Vatican owed them something and were begging them to come and help them.
Everyone had the same attitude, wishing that Caesar and the others would just leave their things behind and then leave immediately.
"Duolu? Is Duolu here?"
The job of knocking on the door has always been done by Nelly, as her voice is the softest and she is most suitable for this kind of job.
This was the most dilapidated house among the dozens of houses that Caesar and his team had visited along the way. The other houses at least still had intact walls made of mud, but a considerable section of the wall of this house was broken and has not been repaired yet.
If this world were just about building mud walls, it would be a fairly simple matter.
Magicians can extract mucus from the body of slime and make something called "soil compound". As long as it is mixed in the mud, it will solidify after a period of time. Moreover, the preparation and acquisition of raw materials of this thing are quite simple. A wall can be piled up with just a few copper coins.
You can imagine how difficult it is to build a mud wall with such a low cost.
The data shown above is indeed pitiful.
She was the only one left at home with a four-year-old child.
The person who opened the door was a little girl with a dirty face and tattered clothes.
What surprised Caesar was that after opening the door, in addition to the child named Duolu in the information, the little boy named Willy was also here.
The Vatican's suggestion was to bring her back to the church and adopt her, after all, it would be very difficult for her to survive on her own.
People from the church had come here before and wanted to take her back, but she refused.
Willy was holding a large piece of green wheat cake in his hand, and the child named Dolu was also holding a piece, which should have been sent by Willy.
Seeing people coming, he showed a look of surprise and ran to hide in the house behind him.
There is also a dog living with Duolu, a big black dog. Although it is skinny and its ribs are clearly visible, there is magical power emanating from its body.
It is a bronze-level magical beast, and it is also Duolu's guarantee for not being eaten while living here.
Nellie offered to take her back to the church, but Dolu hugged the big dog's neck and looked back at the house behind her. Willy shook his head at her. She hesitated for a moment, turned back and shook her head at Nellie and others.
Still unwilling?
"Come with us, Coal Ball can come with us." Nellie squatted down and persuaded. Coal Ball is the name of the big black dog.
You can see that she was quite hesitant and somewhat tempted, but she looked back at the window behind her and finally shook her head.
After trying to persuade her several times to no avail, Nelly had no choice but to give up.
When I asked her why she didn't want to go, she wouldn't say anything. I can't force her.
Respect everyone's destiny and respect others' choices.
But the child was too young, and Nellie felt that the choice she made was immature.
After leaving the things behind, the team had to move on, but Nellie still looked back from time to time, a little hesitant.
"Let's go. We can come back after we've dealt with the other families." Caesar said.
"Okay." Nellie nodded and stopped worrying about whether this was a solution or not.
After visiting all the other households, the team headed towards Duolu's home again.
It was already evening and it was about to get dark. All the items on the three carriages had been distributed.
Not surprisingly, the remaining families were not easy to get along with. Most of them were eager to get rid of people after collecting their things.
If it were Caesar, he would never do it again after doing it this time.
Is there any difference between this and asking for trouble or being rejected?
But when the team returned there again, the person was gone.
"Where is the person?" Nelly was a little anxious about the child being so young.
"Don't worry, he should be with the kid named Willy. There are no special traces here. The big dog named Coal Ball is here, so he must have left voluntarily."
Caesar analyzed.
We walked back along the same path we came and arrived at the home of the boy named Willy.
Although the door was closed, the people in the team were not ordinary people. Through the wooden door, one could sense that there were three people and a dog inside. The child was indeed here.
Although the person was found, everyone's faces were not very happy.
Professionals have very sharp senses and can smell the odor through the door.
The aroma of meat could be smelled through the crack in the door, and there was the sound of boiling water.
These families are basically penniless, where can they find meat?
It's easy to guess where this meat comes from.
Caesar had guessed this before the supplies were distributed.
I just didn't expect their hands to be so fast.
The small sandworms distributed an hour ago have now become delicious food.
Even if you want to eat, there's no rush to wait until they leave.
