For a woman like Mrs. Hank, the day-to-day job is not easy.

They have to report to the town hall before nine o'clock every morning to prepare food for the prisoners of the militia and the hundreds of young men and women in the shelter who are still recovering.

The food for the prisoners is relatively simple, one is boiled potatoes in salt water, and the other is noodle soup with noodles as the main food. As for the standard meals of the model prisoners, it is provided by the undead deli.

The shelter is a bit more troublesome. Some young men and women with special conditions need to make extra preparations—some of the poor people there have their teeth pulled out, and they can only eat liquid food without chewing; some people have serious sexually transmitted diseases, Sick meals are required.

Next, we need to prepare free lunches for the hundreds of temporary workers who do heavy work on the main road in the town...the heavy work these people do cannot just be handled with the food stewed in a big pot. According to Ms. Mia's request, they must There is a side dish to add salt and oil.

Make a good lunch, and before the opening of the Martin Street Market, you need to go out collectively to purchase the vegetable ingredients for the evening and the next day. The two or three hours that are vacated are the study time for the family members.

Holding a rhododendron badge and learning cooking skills from the video projected on the wall... don't mention how unaccustomed it is at the beginning, not to mention that the husband in the screen will always say something that they can't do. vocabulary to understand.

But these ladies also have their survival wisdom, and no one wants to lose this job of preparing food for the people in the town and getting a monthly salary of ten silver coins—this is a more lucrative salary than temporary workers doing heavy work on the construction site— — Regardless of whether the teacher who taught can understand what he said, all the ladies are desperately learning and imitating the way this gentleman handles ingredients.

The projection screen in the conference room was played repeatedly for two hours, and the ladies concentrated on rote memorization for two hours.

When Ms. Mia announced the end of the course and asked everyone to hand over their badges to Mrs. Hank, they immediately went to the Martin Street Market to purchase. While returning the badges, these ladies were still mechanically imitating the actions of cutting green onions and shredded potatoes with both hands. ...

By the time Mrs. Hank finished her day's work, it was already dark.

The alley to the north of Martin Street is now known as Soldiers Lane. In addition to the newly moved 43 families of soldiers from the former Inadalese City Defense Army, there are also three local families.

Two of the three families do not like to deal with outsiders, and the widowed Mrs. Taylor welcomes the new neighbors.

As soon as Mrs. Hank and the housewives she knew walked into Soldiers Alley, Mrs. Taylor, who lived at the corner of the alley, stood in her kitchen window and waved at them vigorously: "Why do you go home empty-handed? Hurry to No. 106 Town Avenue Tofu shop, there is a big promotion!"

Upon hearing this, the housewives were exhausted after a tiring day, thanked Mrs. Taylor, turned around and ran away...

Tofu shop No. 101, not far from Undead Deli No. 106, is currently the most popular shop in Westham Town. The tofu of various colors can be bought for a few copper coins, which is cheap enough for a large bowl. Add some vegetables, potato cubes, sprinkle A touch of salt cooks up a stew that will please the whole family.

By the time Mrs. Hank returned home with a smile and a special tofu, it was almost dark.

The house assigned to the Hank family was indeed much worse than their house in Inadoli. Not only were all the rooms leaking, but the dirt wall in the living room also collapsed with a hole bigger than the dining table, which had to be blocked with wooden boards. superior.

The hardworking housewife quickly cooked the food and called the children out for dinner; Mrs. Hank looked at the moon rising outside the window and urged her two children who needed to go to night school: "Eat faster, Paul, Joan , don't be late."

Mrs. Hank was from a good family when she was a teenager, and she once attended a girls' middle school; her eldest son Sam also received basic literacy education when he served in the city defense army, and the mother and son did not need to go to night school.

The third eldest of Hanke's family, 15-year-old Joan Hank quickly lowered her head and speeded up her meal.

The 19-year-old second child, Paul Hank, seemed a little reluctant, and tapped the dinner plate with a fork in resistance.

"Paul." Sam couldn't stand it anymore, and gave his younger brother a light drink.

Paul turned his head and glanced at his brother. It seemed that his patience had reached its limit. He looked at his mother with a straight face, and said firmly, "I don't think I need to go, Mom."

"Paul?" Mrs. Hank looked at her second son in surprise, "Don't be stupid, at least eighty copper coins per week are required for the enlightenment course in Inadoli's private classroom, and it's free here. There's nowhere to go."

Paul shook his head and said, "I know, Mom. But I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to go to Newing Town to find my uncle."

"You, what stupid things are you talking about! How can you go to your uncle!" Mrs. Hank was anxious.

"As long as I don't say anything, people in Newing Town won't know that our family was exiled, and of course it won't implicate my uncle." Paul insisted.

"Paul!" Mrs. Hank yelled angrily, "Shut up! Don't mention your uncle!"

"Why can't you mention it?" Paul asked unconvinced.

Sam put down his spoon and frowned at his brother.

Mrs. Hank and her brother were having a bad quarrel, and Sam, the eldest son, knew that.

Although neither of them said those things to Paul and Joan, Mrs. Hank hadn't contacted her uncle for more than ten years. Paul was already an adult, so there was no reason why he couldn't even see such an obvious situation.

After thinking about it, Sam didn't ask whether Paul really wanted to find his uncle, and said, "Paul, do you dislike the hard work on the construction site and earn less than your mother, or do you think you have no future in Westham?" , Can’t make it out? Or, are you simply afraid of those undead, even if they never hurt you?”

Paul, who was still confronting his mother with his neck straight, turned red in an instant.

"Oh, you are afraid of them." Sam said clearly, "In this case, I will support you to leave, and I don't think those undead will be willing to provide protection for those who hate and fear them for no reason."

"I, I have never been blessed by those disgusting skeletons!" Paul shouted in a gaffe.

"The original mayor of Westham was taken away by the undead, and the businessmen who were engaged in despicable industries on the main road in the town were also taken away by the undead." Sam said calmly, "The undead changed Westem, so you can Earn a daily salary, and in less than a week save the travel expenses that allow you to leave, not to mention that the dinner you eat is earned by your mother from the job provided by the dead."

Paul was very angry, and suddenly raised his hand, trying to sweep away the dinner plate in front of him.

Sam grabbed Paul by the wrist, stopped him from wasting food, and sternly yelled at his useless brother: "I don't know why our family has such a fool like you! Do you hate me so much that you are exiled?" ?Do you hate me so that you can never go back to Innatrix? What did Innatrix give you? In your 19 years, besides running errands for the store, have you ever found your own job?!"

"If you want to enter a factory, you have to ask someone to intercede. If you want to go to a better workshop, you have to spend money, otherwise you have to be an apprentice with a very low salary! A decent person with a certain status will kill a person like you, even the city police superintendent. No need to enter, just pay a few gold coins! No matter how capable you are, no one cares about your life and death except your relatives, this is the real Innatrix!"

"The people in the town hall are friendly and polite to you, and even consider your future for a humble person like you, and let you go to a free night school to learn characters. Do you think this kind of thing can happen anywhere?!"

The more Sam cursed, the more angry he became, and he threw Paul to the ground: "Then get out, get out, go to another place, and go live your good life by yourself!"

"Paul!" Mrs. Hank walked around the dining table nervously, looked at the eldest son with a tangled expression, and wanted to squat down to help the second son, but was worried that she would intervene in the dispute between the brothers and make them misunderstand that she was partial to them. anyone.

"Uh... sorry, did I come at a bad time?"

At some point, Ms. Mia came to the gate of Hanke's house and stood there awkwardly, neither entering nor retreating.

Mrs. Hank gasped, straightened her scarf quickly, and greeted her blushingly: "I'm so sorry, Miss Mia, our family is like this... I don't know how to explain it to you."

"Please don't apologize to me. I should be the one who should apologize." Ms. Mia waved her hand, expressing her intention quickly in order to resolve the embarrassment. The Mr. Undead who repaired it has come to our Westham. They hope to start working overnight. Mayor Ji Tang needs to immediately recruit a group of operators to assist them. I want to ask Mr. Sam Hank if Willing to apply for this field mission."

"I am very willing, Miss Mia." Sam hurriedly left his brother and walked over, "Shall I go to the town hall now?"

"Yes." Ms. Mia smiled happily, "Please report immediately. Mayor Ji Tang and Mr. Pete are there, and I will notify others."

"Let me go with you." The manly Sam immediately grabbed the coat from the shelf behind the door, and said sincerely, "I know my brothers very well, maybe I can help you."

"That would be great." Ms. Mia nodded with a smile.

Before going out, Sam didn't forget to turn around and greet his mother: "Mom, please prepare a few sets of clothes for me."

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Hank nodded nervously and excitedly. She was so willing that her eldest son could become an officer of the town hall. The son forgot all about it, and excitedly ran into Sam's room to pack his luggage...

Joan Hank held up her plate and spooned the last leaf into her mouth.

"Brother Paul, why are you afraid of those undead?" The 15-year-old girl asked curiously while chewing vegetables. "They don't deal with us. The military police who drove us out of our homes are even more terrifying, right?"

Paul didn't say a word, just sat on the ground and sulked.

When the brothers of the Hanke family had a big quarrel, at the same moment in Inadoli City, two carriages with the emblem of the Church of Gold Coins galloped all the way from St. Joseph Avenue and headed straight for the north gate.

There was no need for any reason for the church's car to leave the city after dark. The city gate soldiers who had stopped the squad saw the gold coin church badge on the carriage from afar, and slipped open the city gate without saying a word.

After more than half an hour, the two carriages drove into the Red Wall Farm area and stopped in front of the big iron gate that had been smashed and locked.

Several capable night watchmen got out of the carriage, and the leader took out a sealed object in the shape of a vanity mirror, and took a picture of the courtyard.

"The new exorcist really solved the problem here overnight? How did that guy do it?" After observing the mirror of the vanity mirror several times, the captain of the night watchman still couldn't believe his eyes.

"This is really...Captain, it seems that there is someone coming from Inadoli." A night watchman raised the upper edge of his black hood, looked at the deep courtyard in surprise, and said in amazement.

The captain of the night watchman nodded, then shook his head slowly: "The origin of this person needs to be investigated."

"Come in, find that wooden carving."

The officials in charge of connecting the exorcists did not provide all the information to the folk exorcists who took over the task. For example, William J. Bancroft was a famous woodcarving collector and held many woodcarving art exhibitions. The information is "inadvertently" ignored.

With the support of more sufficient intelligence, the Gold Coin Church has long deduced that the disaster event of Red Wall Farm is related to the items that Master William brought into Inadoli; combined with the identity of the master woodcarving collector, the prototype of the sealed item that caused the disaster , ready to come out.

As for the question of whether concealing part of the information will cause the exorcist to miss... Before the big event of successfully containing the sealed item, no matter which church's night watchman will not be stingy with making "don't drain the last exorcist" Human blood swears not to give up" determination.

A few hours later, a man roared angrily in the abandoned mansion of Red Wall Farm: "No?? Why not?!"
