Angel on earth

After that, Aaron didn't pay much attention to it. He was busy helping Joyce sell the land.

He went to the field to investigate, and was surprised to find that the result of this prodigal woman's indifference all along was that this territory, which occupied less than half of the Diana Crystal Mine, had been extensively developed by the Noren government and its cooperative businessmen.For the [-]% he deserved, he had to help Joyce contact a lawyer to file a lawsuit with those businessmen, and he was too busy.

A few of those merchants wanted to buy it at a very low price, so Aaron hired two homeless men and asked them to pretend to be rich merchants from Iris and Aiden to bid with the Norrens.After going back and forth, Iris really came to take advantage of him. Although the quotation was still far lower than the due value of the land and the minerals in it, the other party expressed their willingness to take over the lawsuit. Joyce thought it was troublesome, so he made a move.

By the time this is over, it will already be winter.Wakefield was cold even in summer nights, and in winter, Aaron was even more reluctant to go out, even taking Mikhail with him. After all, the fireplace in the hut was really not very warm.However, on Christmas Eve, Mikhail took him into the city, saying that no matter what, he would make grand preparations for the festival and birthday.

By the way, Mikhail's birthday present this summer was Diana Lake of Blood.Aaron used some small tricks to buy this unlucky and unproductive lake from the city hall at an extremely low price.They had a picnic by the lake, and Aaron sang "God Gives You Joy" to Mikhail.The sound of breaking rocks from the mine was heard all the way to the lake, and Aaron covered Mikhail's ears.

The labor movement in Wakefield had little effect, and there were always people who accepted lower wages for a half-starved meal of brown bread.Later, probably looking like a bully, Gaston led people to attack Mrs. Wood's mother and daughter, and was soon threatened by Mikhail and secretly kicked out of Wakefield.The fragile alliance quickly splintered, most workers worked honestly at lower wages, and a small number of radicals went to jail.After the execution of a group of people who took the lead in storming the city hall and suspected of murdering the citizens, there were another group of torturers free to use among the miners and loggers in the Amethyst Forest.

All in all, this winter has been tougher than usual for most Wakefielders.

The two walked side by side on the street. The pale sunlight was colder than the snow on the side of the road. Aaron fastened his hat and stayed close to Mikhail.But no one gossips, and occasionally there are bolder ladies who greet him from behind the window: After the autumn riots, the city hall sent armed police to every factory, rich people with a little reputation He will bring more bodyguards when he goes out, and although the doctor is not rich, doing so is in line with his image in the hearts of the local ladies.

Aaron stopped by Joyce for a follow-up visit, was harassed by newspaper boys with chapped cheeks and red hands, and bought eight newspapers in a row. The future sickness of the future is nothing compared to the actual hunger of the present, but one of Aaron and Mikhail will always pay.

They met Nancy at the "Lemongrass" candy and toy store down the street, who was pointing to the window and bent down to ask her two daughters if they wanted a fruit candy as a Christmas Eve gift.

Jack, Nancy's husband, was shot in the street less than two days after he was reported because he continued to contact the workers in private. Maybe die.However, after making a fuss, he still ran away. Before leaving, he went to the Mirror Lake to greet Mikhail, begging him to take care of his wife and children, saying that he was going to look for Gaston, and he would come back one day .After that, Mikhail's mood has been very low.

But Nancy didn't believe it.The house that Jack rented was seized, and Joyce kindly took in Nicole and Monica, saying that they were still young anyway, living in the same room with Nancy, and couldn't eat much, but she wouldn't get a salary increase. .When she got a job opportunity, she honestly worked hard to clean the house and take care of the housework.Nicole and Monica also left the textile factory to help her, and in the evening, they could join Jane in listening to Joyce teach reading and writing.Jack never encouraged her to do anything, nor did she have any expectations for Jack's "new career".

"Stand up straight, Nicole." Aaron took a look, couldn't help but walked forward, and after beckoning to Nancy, he reached out and grabbed the older girl's shoulder, "You're a little hunchbacked. , We must strive to correct it before it is finalized."

Nicole giggled at the fluff on the edge of his glove and was reprimanded by Nancy.Aaron straightened up, waved his hands, and smiled at her: "I am safe in the Lord. How are you doing recently, Nancy?"

"Peace in the Lord, Dr. Edwards. Everything is fine, it has never been better." She smiled, "I wish you well too."

"Thank you." Aaron pushed his glasses and said, "You can have more yogurt for Monica. Instead of using butter in the morning with bread, use tahini, and you are the same, Nancy, but you and Joey S can drink milk."

"Can't Monica?" Nancy was a little curious.

"Milk can cause diarrhea in some people," Aaron explained.

At this time, Mikhail behind him bent down like a hill, took out a paper bag from the basket box in his hand and handed it to her, grinning and said: "This is the apple yogurt stuffing baked this morning." Pie. Happy holidays, Nancy, Nicole, Monica."

"Thank you," Nancy said.

"Happy holidays!" Nicole and Monica looked up and cheered.

Aaron gestured, and Nancy sheepishly urged the two daughters into the store.After they came out, Aaron took Mikhail in for shopping.Through the glass, Aaron could see Monica and Nicole secretly opening the paper packet to taste the pie, and after being scolded by their mother, they broke off a large piece and stuffed it into their mother's mouth.

The two bought a lot of candies, chocolates and biscuits, put them in a big bag, and parted at the door of Miss Viscountess's house.Aaron went in to find Joyce with his suitcase, and Mikhail went to be his "Santa Claus".Now he was Mikhail with a home to return to, and the winter nights in Wakefield were so wet and cold that he couldn't go out at night.

After rejecting Joyce's invitation three times to stay with him on Christmas Eve, Aaron picked up the medicine box and went downstairs, but Mikhail did not come for a long time.He had no choice but to tentatively put his legs out into the cold sunshine, prepared himself to take a deep breath, and refused to follow the etiquette of saying goodbye, pinching his nose that was about to freeze off, and heading towards Mikhail stride.

But the itinerary was not smooth.Aaron re-identified the direction three times before finding Mikhail along the path with seven turns and eight turns. He gave up his nose and shoes halfway, and his socks were soaked by mud and snow.Mikhail, with his back turned to him, knelt before a wall and prayed, and all his rage was quenched by the snow that wet his socks.

The doctor sighed in his heart, thinking, this is how he came here before, and there shouldn't be Mikhail in the first place.

With a smile that he didn't notice, he quietly watched the young man's back for three seconds, his expression changed, and he strode forward and knelt beside him:

"What happened—"

Mikhail was trembling.What he read was the eulogy for the blessing of the dead in the "Sun God Code".

He cries a lot, but seldom this frightened.In front of him were two corpses. Judging from the degree of stiffness and the surrounding environment, Aaron believed that the child died in front of Mikhail.And the woman who sat in the melted snow, who was probably the child's mother, had been dead for a long time.But not long enough for the cleaner to finish a round.

Mikhail wiped away his tears, completely forgetting that he was still in bandages, and his dirty hands were messing up his hair.His fiery hands tightly grasped Aaron's arm, and he whimpered for a long time before he could make a sound:

"Aaron, Aaron... what should I do?"

"Don't be afraid, Misha." Aaron leaned forward and pushed himself into his arms, as if he could save him on behalf of the children on the ground, "I know, I know. This kind of thing is very common .”

"It shouldn't be very common! Don't say such things, Aaron!" Mikhail hugged him tremblingly, and said capriciously, "I don't want to see... I don't want to encounter such things. But, but... …Am I really doing this right? He came up to me and told me he was hungry, so I gave him bread and sweets and didn’t feel it at all…he refused to eat it and wanted to bring it back to his mother , I just followed behind, trying to warm him up. And then...then he sat down and died."

Aaron kissed his neck, not knowing whether to comfort him or comfort himself, he heard him say intermittently: "... Is this normal, Aaron? It doesn't look right, it doesn't look right anywhere. It's like... It’s like he is laughing at me, punishing me, and has to teach me a lesson... Otherwise, why would people die like that? I’ve never seen anything like this in the Federation—”

"I've seen it," repeated Aaron, "I've seen it. I repeat, this kind of thing is common, Misha. So I don't want you to think about it, Mikhail. If the sun god is just the sun god, Then he is punishing everyone in the world."

Mikhail held him capriciously and continued to sob softly, as if he couldn't hear anything.Aaron had to try his best to forget about his frozen knees and put his torso against Mikhail's body as much as possible to steal as much heat as possible.While patting Mikhail on the back, he casually looked at the eight newspapers scattered on the ground, three of which just pieced together a whole piece of news:

The Chief Priestess of the Twelve Saints, Her Excellency Isabella, the "Priest of the Red Moon", read out a series of instructions to the believers in Lieyang City last week, and claimed that if Noren, Iris, Aiden and other countries continue to persecute the Sun God Saints [Note], the Church will be ready for the Fourth Holy War, not expecting it but always ready.Her actions have been questioned by many, especially since the Son has not been seen in public for three years.

Originally, the church still had some authority, but with the development of mortal technology and the decline of magic advantages, people still have more or less doubts in their hearts: Is the "Holy Son" of this era the one in the scriptures, or is it a person? A new kind of indulgence?

Aaron wanted to laugh, because he suddenly felt that both Isabella and hatred were already very far away from him.He hugged Mikhail, the church wanted it, and mortals wanted it too, and Mikhail fell down here, crying for a few 10 minutes about the tragic experience of a mother and child, and then he would stand up and pat his pants heel He went home to prepare the Christmas Eve feast.

He doesn't feel guilty either.He kissed Mikhail's neck, and smiled happily in a place that Mikhail could not see or feel, thinking that this was some kind of reward from the sun god.Throughout the ages, there have always been many people in the world who starved to death, frozen to death, sick, and dying of all kinds. He took up their Savior for a little while, and it will not affect Him saving the world, nor will it affect them to live. If you can’t, those who can survive will continue to live, and those who can’t survive will die in front of Misha after taking the bread from Mikhail.

Just like Nancy, just like Nancy.He couldn't feel his knees anymore, he thought, like Nancy.What do other people's great deeds matter to me?I only have this little time, all I want is this little stuff.

"Misha, Misha." He knew that Mikhail couldn't see, but he still whispered in his ear with a hoarse voice, "close your eyes and don't look at him. I'm so cold. I want to go back. I'll sing you a lullaby tonight. Just now I saw Monica and I just remembered... You must have been sung to you when you were a kid, right? But my mother sang it to me, and my father sang it to you. Even in ordinary People are rare! I want to go back. I will sing you a lullaby."

The author says:

God bless you happy: Godrestyemerrygentlemen is actually a Christmas carol around the 16th century. It seems that there used to be night watchmen singing for the nobles to make money.

The part where Jc guards the factory and shoots the workers refers to historical events, but it’s not Meimaozi’s family but Ah Fei’s family (barely considered a family), which happened in the 20th century.Well, anyway, the history of the overhead magic reform in this article has been accelerating, after all, there are magic variables (hey)

On some occasions, ordinary believers are also referred to as "saints", mostly to demonstrate a collective power, a common top hat title.
