Chapter 1156: That was just a dream that I never thought could be realized.
Something is wrong, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right.
Whether it was the noble who suddenly became easy to talk to, or the reluctance and resentment in the eyes of the middle-aged noble at this time, it means that this matter is not that simple.
"let's go!"
Turning around, the middle-aged noble planned to take people away.
But just when he turned around to leave, he saw the neatly arranged toys on the ground.
With a sarcastic smile on his lips, he picked up the bamboo horse, played with it carefully and gently a few times before his eyes, and nodded in admiration.
"Not bad, well done."
Then... in front of Bai Mo and Bianca, he suddenly closed his palms and crushed the bamboo horse into pieces!
"I will... come to your business often!"
After leaving these words, he turned around and left.
"and many more!"
Bai Mo stopped him.
Seeing him turn around, Bai Mo looked at him and spoke coldly without hesitation.
"Give me money!"
"…………"
After taking a look at the bamboo horse that was crushed by him on the ground, the noble snorted coldly!
"Humph!"
Throw down the change, turn around and leave.
This scene was seen by everyone.
Everyone was whispering, wondering what was going on.
Bianca knelt down and carefully put away the crushed bamboo horse.
"You silly goose...are you not hurt?"
Hearing Bai Mo's concern, Bianca stood up and shook her head.
"No, and you see, we got so much compensation, it's not too late for me to be happy."
Although he said this, Bai Mo knew it well.
They didn't know why the noble came to apologize, but it was obvious that they were being targeted!
This is not a good thing.
They are just ordinary people now and they need to live here.
They need to survive here, and those nobles have too many ways to ruin the results of their efforts.
"Come on, let's pack up and go home. It's a good harvest today."
Bianca smiled and put the things she had brought into her backpack.
Bai Mo went to help.
Soon, they returned to the hut.
Immediately afterwards, they heard that destiny was coming to rescue refugees, and that special personnel would go to all needy families to deliver relief food and daily necessities.
This news can be said to be incredible to many people.
What is even more surprising is that Tianming acted very quickly.
Many knights walked through the town carrying various supplies, and distributed the supplies based on statistical census registers.
No one was left behind, except Bai Mo and the others.
"It seems that everyone is having a better time these days."
Bianca looked at the knights on the street, smiled and shook her head.
By now, they understand.
Due to the defeat in the frontline war, Tianming was not only continuously defeated on the battlefield, but also the people's hearts and minds were gradually lost. More and more rebels were influenced by Otto in various places.
They need to stabilize the civilians, or at least get their support. Only in that way can they save the defeat in the next war.
"The first step is to restore people's sense of security."
It just so happened that yesterday Bai Mo and the others met someone who was the best at dancing. That was an opportunity.
The nobles' apology to the common people can maximize their influence and tell everyone that destiny will protect you. Even the nobles must apologize to you and compensate you if they have done something wrong.
After that, benefits will be distributed to restore people's lost trust in destiny.
This is a very simple way.
Very useful though.
After people are used to the nobles' condescending attitude, suddenly they bow their heads to you. What you feel is not only surprise and surprise, but also flattering.
Under such a premise, if you give you benefits, it will be easy to improve people's impression of you.
When a person is dark enough, the little bit of light he emits will be noticed by the world and expand infinitely.
That's why the noble came to Bai Mo and the others to apologize, but in such a public place.
The compensation was too much, but this was the effect they wanted.
Therefore, during this period, the common people should be able to live a good life. In order to stabilize people's hearts, the destiny will also make the nobles restrain themselves a lot.
Many benefits will even be granted, and people's living standards will be significantly improved.
But this is not a good thing for Bai Mo and the others.
If the noble is regarded as a victim to win over the people, then all the humiliation he suffered and all the face he lost will be counted on them.
They did not receive relief supplies, which was the first step.
He would apologize to them in public.
But in a position no one knows about, they are nothing. After all, their goal has been achieved.
"Let's go." Carrying the empty backpack, Bianca was not affected, nor was she envious.
"At least, we're safe now."
Yes, safe.
If they died right after the noble apologized, then any fool would be able to figure out who did it.
Therefore, neither the destiny nor the nobles would harm them during this period.
Of course, that's only as long as it doesn't cause any harm.
They came to the commercial street of the town, which can be regarded as the commercial street of this "era".
There were all kinds of vendors on the roadside, and they were dazzled by all kinds of things.
Because they did make money today, and there was also a large amount of compensation, they finally had some money.
But looking at the prices of the vegetables in front of her, Bianca sighed.
"It's so expensive~!"
Passing by the meat stall, Bianca trembled even more when she looked at the price.
You must know that in the past, she would not even dare to take a look at the price of meat.
However, she gritted her teeth and secretly glanced at Bai Mo who was following behind her. She still planned to buy some.
"Silly Goose."
But Bai Mo stopped her.
"You don't have to spend this money for me."
Of course Bai Mo could see that Bianca wanted to buy these because of herself.
If she were alone, even if she made money, the most luxurious thing she would probably do is eat some bread or dry biscuits.
"But you are still injured, you need to eat something good..."
"I'm fine." Bai Mo shook his head.
"Look, I'm much better now."
"And...don't we still have to save money to open a toy store?"
This last sentence made Bianca's pupils tremble.
"Okay, don't hesitate, I don't want to be a burden to you." Bai Mo didn't give her any time to hesitate, took her hand and walked out.
After walking out of the street, Bai Mo obviously noticed that Bianca's body was stunned.
She turned around, only to see this girl lowering her head in a rare way, pursed her lips, and her eyes wandered between trance and confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Mo was a little worried.
"Sorry……"
Bianca raised her head and looked at Bai Mo, but what she wanted to say stopped.
She didn't know how to express her inner thoughts at this time.
She just feels uncomfortable...
feeling bad.
Her idea was simple, she just wanted the girl to eat something good and recover from her injuries quickly.
Can……
Why does this mere thought seem so extravagant?
They all need... to let the other person comfort them.
"Sorry, I'm a little... weird."
"Don't worry, let's go back."
"Just in time, I have something to show you."
With that said, she took Bai Mo's hand and hurried towards home.
Along the way, Bai Mo, who was being pulled by her, remained silent.
She knew Bianca was under pressure, and she knew she had secrets.
The medicine she drank and the food she ate yesterday are not something she can afford now, so where did those things come from?
Bai Mo didn't know, Bianca didn't tell her, and she didn't ask.
She could feel Bianca's concern for her, and she had always wanted the best for her since she met her.
But it was obvious that just as she said, they should have only known each other for a day...
stranger.
All the way home, Bianmo pulled Bai Mo to the back of a debris pile in the back room.
There, she lifted up a section of the floor, revealing a large space inside.
That space is enough for a person to lie down and hide in it.
But this is not used to hide people, but to store something.
Bai Mo took a quick look and saw that there were very few things inside, only a large plaque.
"This is……"
"This is the plaque I prepared for the toy store." Bianca's eyes gradually slowed down as she looked at the things lying there quietly.
"I've already done it, but I haven't written the name yet." As she said that, she turned to Bai Mo and spoke with a smile.
"I hid it here knowing that my wish was ridiculous."
"I also know... that's impossible."
Bai Mo understood. It turned out that Bianca knew from beginning to end that her wish was ridiculous and impossible in this era.
She crafted the plaque because she wanted to see a piece of her dream.
She buried it because she knew that in this era when survival was all it took, her dream could only be buried.
So Bianca never thought about using the money to open a toy store, because... she knew that it was a fantasy that could only exist in her heart.
She can't be so ignorant, they need to survive, and they need to use the money to help Bai Mo recover and give them a full meal.
As for the toy store, that... was just a dream that I never thought could actually be realized.
"Let's... think of a name for our shop together." Taking Bai Mo's hand, Bianca tilted her head and looked at her with a smile.
"one……"
"Our home."
