Occasionally, there will be one or two young people who are incompatible with the temperament of the small town. He (she) usually has a relatively good appearance, smart, confident, good at communication, and is the central figure in the small circle.

He (she) usually gets compliments from people around him or her that have no real content and are related to his (her) good appearance, and these compliments often express politely that he (she) will be able to leave in the future A small town, go to a big city to develop——For the townspeople in small towns who have no vision, those who can live in a big city are all amazing people. This is indeed one of the most friendly praises in the context of greetings word out.

But... This kind of compliment out of politeness does not have any real functionality. It is not the same as those children who scare the neighbors when they are bored, "Your parents will not want you after your brother is born", "You are actually you Mom picked it up from outside" and other "fun with children" words, the person who said it actually didn't care what he said at all.

But unfortunately, some of those who listen will take it seriously.

Gold, who had a good appearance since he was a child, and stood out from the crowd of young people in small towns when he grew up, is such a young man who takes the nonsense spoken by others seriously.

Not only Gold himself, but even his parents and family, through years of casual praise from others, have gradually become convinced that their son is indeed extraordinary and not mediocre.

A wrong positioning of oneself is often the first step for ordinary people to derail from a normal life.

For example... When Jimmy, who was about the same age as Gold, joined the militia, Gold, who was also qualified to join the militia, completely disdained the vulgar low-level organization of the militia.

When Porsha Lowry, who was a few years younger than Gold, entered the post office, Gold also looked down on the job of postman, which came and went in the wind and rain.

When the peers began to talk about marriage, Gold and his family even looked down on those unseemly wild girls in the town, and they only wanted to marry good people in the city.

Gould, who has been wasting for several years without accomplishing anything and did not find a girl from the city to marry, had to go to work in a factory in the city full of complaints together with those young people in the town who were several years younger than him.

To be fair, the work in the factory area of ​​Inadoli City is not too bad, the income is not bad, and the factory will also provide accommodation and three meals a day, although it is difficult for people from the town to become regular workers and cannot enjoy The treatment of a regular worker, but if you can live frugally, you can still save money.

Simon and Allen, who also worked in a factory, used their income to improve the lives of their families, so that members of their family could always eat meat every other week.

But for Gold, repeating the monotonous and boring mechanized labor day after day is hard work and does not reflect his strengths. It is completely inconsistent with his plan for his life; Not enough at all, and I couldn't afford any decent calfskin shoes.

His outstanding appearance has not faded because he has become an ordinary workshop worker. There will always be family members of regular workers who use various excuses to come to the workshop to peek at him, but this does not satisfy Gold's vanity. It didn't help—the worker's family was so far from the one he imagined he would marry, he didn't want to be the worker's son-in-law at all.

After Westham changed the lord, Gould, who had long been tired of working as a worker, returned home. At the beginning, he didn't pay attention to Caroline... He knew the girl on the next street, she was far from his ideal The wife in the middle is too far away.

Until Gold's mother learned about Caroline's income from the chatter of neighbors in the neighborhood.

Caroline's inconspicuous small caravan, which is always busy outside, can earn a dozen gold coins for a trip when the business is at its best, and the profit is also calculated in gold coins at its worst!

Caroline, who is hardworking, takes the small caravan outside at least three or five times a month, and sometimes sleeps outside for several days once she goes out. In the town, she didn't rest during the winter festival, which made her face full of wind and frost in just half a year, and she didn't have the delicate appearance of a young girl at all-but she can at least earn a few gold coins every month!

An unmarried girl with an annual income of more than twenty gold coins, this is a good marriage that can't be found even with a lantern!

Gold's family was moved, and Gold was also moved.

Gold actively pursued Caroline, but he was worried that someone else would get ahead of him. He spread the news that he was pursuing Caroline to the whole town. He believed that as long as those potential competitors knew that he was the opponent Now, he will lose confidence—although he is several years older than Caroline, he is convinced that those young guys are definitely not as attractive to women as he is.

To Gold's surprise, Caroline has no interest in him.

His good looks, which made the hearts of the workers' families in the city, fell to the ground with Caroline.

Gold hated it very much, but the more he hated, the more active he was in pursuing Caroline. As long as Caroline became his wife, he could pay back the humiliation he suffered.

Knowing from neighbor Ellen's family that they were going to open a shop in the city with Caroline, Gold's already anxious mood was ignited... He thought he was the only good choice among unmarried men in small towns , but he didn't have the confidence to beat the young men in the city.

When he was working in the city, Gold tried hard to change his life with his superior appearance, but he only walked around St. Joseph Avenue twice during the holidays, and he saw many people whose appearance was no worse than his. He is a young man who is more fashionable and decent than him, and has a much more temperament than him in conversation; he stands out from the crowd in the small town, but he can't see much difference among his peers in the city.

If Caroline met some of the best unmarried men in the city, it would be all for nothing.

Caroline entered the door of Allen's house, and when he and Allen had a heated discussion about how to run the store in the city, Gold, who was wandering outside the door, was furious. give him.

Alan is strong and strong, and there are several strong men in Alan's family who go to the countryside every autumn to do odd jobs in the autumn harvest. Gold's rationality let him know that if he broke in, he would never be pleased, so he simply went home and took a knife , squatting in the alley waiting for Caroline to come out of Allen's house.

His luck is very good. For some reason, there are no undead in the town tonight (players have gone to Port Moses to do missions). He successfully held Caroline hostage and dragged her to the west of the town In a secluded alley.

Gold swore that he really didn't intend to hurt Caroline at the beginning, as long as Caroline had the sense to not throw his sincerity of marrying her to the ground and trample on it, he wouldn't even take out a knife.

But Caroline let him down, this woman who didn't know what to do or what to do, pointed at his nose and called him an incompetent, useless waste.

Even after being humiliated to this extent in person, Gold didn't intend to kill Caroline, he just wanted to disfigure her and leave her with no choice - Gold swears that's really what he thought, he just wanted marry this woman.

Caroline's disgust for him was beyond Gold's imagination, and Caroline's resistance was also beyond his imagination... The young girl covered in blood and howling in pain couldn't help ignoring the pain after touching the bricks on the ground , Desperately hit him on the head.

She wanted to kill me—a discovery that horrified Gold.

What's worse is that Caroline is not as thin as she looks. She has been running a caravan business for half a year and often moves heavy goods up and down. She is much stronger than the average young girl...Gold Not only did she fail to control her resistance, she was smashed to the ground instead.

Before he passed out, Gold was frustrated and angry... No matter whether Caroline had a rich dowry or not, no matter how much money this woman made, he swore he would never marry this woman.

Gold didn't think his behavior of holding Caroline hostage and trying to disfigure her was so bad. It was Caroline who trampled on his sincerity and humiliated him to force him to do it. It was Caroline's fault. first.

Caroline should be blamed for his murderous behavior towards him. If he had a day in the making, he would definitely take revenge on this vicious woman who didn't know what to do or who wanted to kill him-he knew it very well. Now he has no ability to take revenge on someone who is richer and more connected than him.

When his head was still wrapped in gauze and he was thrown into the convoy delivering supplies to the convict road construction team, Gold did not think at all that his bad behavior brought him to this end, he only thought that it was Caroline's vicious The woman bought the security team with money, and used the money to clear her of the despicable charge of attempted murder.

"It's obviously that bitch's fault, why should I be punished?!"

On the way to escort, Gold, who was locked in the carriage, would complain excitedly about the injustice he had encountered as long as he could see someone.

It's a pity that there are many operatives among the people who delivered the supplies. These operatives have the same nostrils as the security team, and they don't bother to talk to him at all. They even deliberately bullied him and withheld his meals.

In grief, indignation and despair, he was escorted to the prisoner road construction team, and Gold, who was in shackles, was roughly pulled out of the carriage... It was painful to find that he was escorted to a barren place.

After a whole winter of hard work, the road-building brigade of thousands of prisoners built the railway to the border of the Tarantan wasteland, which is tens of kilometers away from the nearest village, and there is no one inhabited in a radius of twenty miles, except for the Gobi desert. The desolate wilderness with no end in sight, and the towering mountains in the distance.

What made Gold even more horrified was... When he was being pushed and driven to the prisoner's barracks, outside the barracks, something he had never seen or heard of in his life was being held—— Mass funeral.

At the same time, the funerals were held for hundreds of prisoners who died of various accidents, accidents, illnesses, aging and other reasons throughout the winter.

There are not many "fresh" corpses, and most of them are unlucky people who died early during the road construction process and delayed the funeral until now.

The jars containing the ashes, the old sheets wrapped with the bones, and the straw mats with the corpses were lined up in front of the prisoner's barracks; a ferocious man with the smell of no strangers all over his body was holding a paper and standing among the rows of bones In front of him, dryly read the eulogy.

Thousands of prisoners sat cross-legged on the slightly cleaned-up space, either numb, thankful, or mournful...At the funeral of the "prisoner friend", no one dared to whisper or whisper, and all of them lowered their heads obediently.

Gould, who was staggering towards the barracks, heard the vicious man finish his short eulogy and began to read the list of mourners.

In the long list of mourners, many people Gold had heard of or even known...

For example, the former mayor—the old mayor was already old, so it was not so unacceptable to die in the process of road construction.

However, the former militia captain Cado Gould and the former owner of "Elegant Dream" Garcia Green are also on the list of the deceased, which makes Gold's hair stand on end-especially the former militia captain Cado Gould De, Gould has seen him many times, that guy is not only as strong as a bull, but also used to be a trainee professional soldier!

When he was pushed into the prisoner's barracks built with thin steel plates (actually scrapped containers), Gould was so distraught that he staggered and fell to the ground.

Outside, that terrifying man was still reading the list of mourners. The death list seemed endless. Every familiar or unfamiliar name was like a heavy hammer, smashing Gold's whole heart into hell.

A pampered, strong man like Garcia Green, and a man as strong as a bull like Caddo Gauld, are dead...

—O Lady of Coins!Could he ever make it back to Westham alive?
