One bedroom and one living room, no toilet, the bedroom is dark, heavy and stuffy, just like a box.

This is home.

Next to the wooden bed is a worn-out sewing machine, two neatly cut pieces of leather are stacked, the workmanship is very fine, Alice has some tailoring skills. A rectangular old instrument is placed next to it, probably a radio, but it is broken.

A picture emerged in Oscar's mind.

A girl in her teens, lonely, hungry and cold, sitting in a dim and small room working, from morning to night, the only tool for entertainment is an old radio.

Now the radio is broken!

Oscar felt a little sad.

The radio is purely handmade, with rough parts, strange structure, messy lines, and complex symbols engraved on the antenna. According to the broken memory, this is a kind of rune.

"Rune?"

Oscar had been very weak, and suddenly he had a splitting headache. He felt dizzy and knelt down beside the bed, retching.

After a long time, he got a little better.

More memories were restored.

Some of them were memories in the body, but most of them were vague.

The levels of warlocks on the mainland are divided into: warlock apprentice, warlock, warlock, great warlock, earth warlock, sky warlock, magician, holy warlock, fairy warlock, and divine warlock, a total of 10 realms.

Oscar used to be a divine warlock.

His magic power was unparalleled.

Now Oscar is just an apprentice, everywhere on the street, worthless.

Although he was very weak, his brain was dizzy, and he often felt severe pain and dizziness during the memory awakening process.

The simple wooden door was pushed open, and Alice came back in the wind and snow, with snowflakes on her hair and cotton coat, shivering with cold. She hurriedly closed the door, patted her clothes, took off her scarf and hung it back on the wall, and shouted, "I'm back."

"There are two steamed buns, still hot." Alice took out another round object wrapped in yellow paper, carefully peeled off the yellow paper, and a black pill the size of a fingernail appeared in her hand, "This is the Seven Herb Pill."

The Seven Herb Pill is made from seven common herbs, which has the effect of restoring qi and blood and restoring physical strength. The price is very cheap, only 15 copper coins. Because it can restore physical strength, is easy to carry, and is not easy to deteriorate, many hunters and adventurers carry it as dry food.

In order to make Oscar recover as soon as possible, Alice spent the only money in the family to buy a Seven Herb Pill.

Oscar frowned.

Such a shitty thing can also be sold?

How backward is the alchemy technology of this era!

Oscar still said, "Thank you."

Alice's eyes were as gentle as water, and the young master really changed.

Oscar was so hungry that he swallowed a steamed bun in two or three bites. Alice saw him eating it up, smiled with satisfaction, secretly swallowed her saliva, and sat down in front of the sewing machine to start working.

Oscar was still not satisfied and wanted to eat the second steamed bun. Suddenly he thought of something and asked Alice: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Alice is not hungry."

Oscar handed the steamed bun to her without saying a word.

Alice was very touched. She turned her head and wiped her eyes. "No, the mayor's family has some meat bones left by the snow wolf dogs. As soon as it gets light, I will go pick up the bones and make soup!"

Oscar's voice trembled when he heard this: "You eat the leftovers of the dog...food?"

Alice scratched her head and said with a sweet smile: "The snow wolf dog is a level 1 monster, not a dog! It weighs dozens of kilograms, grows big and fierce, and only eats fresh meat. The remaining meat bones are delicious when stewed in soup. Sometimes you go too late and can't get it!"

"Don't pick up bones to eat anymore, understand?" Oscar felt ashamed and guilty. He was so embarrassed that he forced the steamed bun into the girl's hand. Suddenly he found something, "Ah, you are injured! Who hit you?"

Alice's white arm had a few faint bloodstains. Oscar quickly pulled open his sleeves. There were more than a dozen new and old wounds on Yuou's forearm, and large pieces of bruises. It was extremely miserable. What kind of abuse she had suffered!

Oscar's chest was filled with anger!

Who could be so cruel as to beat a lovely, pitiful, strong and kind girl like this?

Oscar was so angry that he trembled: "Who beat her?"

Alice pulled up her sleeves and stammered: "The bad guys from the casino broke in and smashed things. Alice went to stop them, and they beat me with a stick." At this point, she choked up, "Not only did they beat Alice, they also took away the money and food in the house."

Oscar's teeth were almost broken.

It was a great shame!

Several big men beat a 15-year-old girl with sticks!

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

How could they do that!

Seeing Oscar's bad face, Alice hurriedly persuaded him: "The casino is very powerful, we can't fight it, forget it, Alice is fine."

"Stop talking, if I don't take revenge, am I still a man?" Oscar suddenly remembered something, pulled Alice and said, "No, your injuries are new and old, how did the other injuries come from, is there someone bullying you again?"

Alice was a little at a loss, her voice was as soft as a mosquito, "Forget it..."

"Tell me quickly!"

"Those were... you beat me." Alice's eyes were filled with tears, and her face was full of grievances: "But it's all Alice's fault that she didn't finish the work on time, so the young master beat me. Some of them were because the young master lost money in gambling and got drunk and was in a bad mood, so you can't blame the young master."

Oscar was completely stunned.

Full of anger turned into guilt!

Endless guilt!

What kind of life does this girl live!

Oscar's clenched fist suddenly loosened, and suddenly "slapped" himself with a loud slap, his face was swollen and red.

"Ah, Master!" Alice screamed and hugged him, "What are you doing!"

Oscar stuffed the cold steamed bun into Alice's hand: "This steamed bun, if I touch it again, I'll be a bastard! Eat it quickly!"

"Yes..."

Alice held the steamed bun and ate it while crying. The steamed bun was brought back from outside, and it was already dry and hard, mixed with salty tears, making it difficult to swallow. But in her heart, no matter how delicious the world is, it is not as good as one tenth of the cold steamed bun.

Oscar was hit by the stone that fell from the sky and pretended to be dead. Alice didn't drink a drop of water, and she was hungry and cold, and almost collapsed. She was really too hungry, so she ate very fast, and ended up choking and coughing.

Oscar brought a bowl of water.

Alice was fed half a bowl of water, holding half a steamed bun in her hand, with steamed bun crumbs on the corners of her mouth, and her beautiful purple eyes stared at Oscar blankly.

"What's wrong with you?"

"You are so nice to me all of a sudden, Alice is a little uncomfortable, like a dream."

Oscar was sad, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then do you want to change back so that you can adapt first?"

"No, no!"

Alice hugged Oscar like a child again, with a happy smile on her face.

What's the suffering I've endured in the past two days?

When the young master woke up, he not only didn't beat or scold me, but also became gentle and considerate, just like a different person!

"Take a break first. Alice can earn a few copper coins by sewing the leather, and then buy some food." After finishing the steamed buns, Alice sat on the sewing machine and worked non-stop. "We are out of money. The young master owes the casino 10 silver coins. If the magic field was still there, it would be fine. Even if it was rented to the herbal farmers in the town, the monthly rent per mu would be 2,000 copper coins according to the current rent. It's a pity that it was taken away by the Mu family."

"I owe the casino 10 silver coins? That is 10,000 copper coins?"

Alice felt a huge pressure. "If I can't pay it back on time, it will be troublesome. I can only find a way to borrow money to make up the money. Young master... please don't gamble anymore, okay?" Alice mustered up the courage to say the last sentence. If it were the old young master, he might be furious again.

Oscar was ashamed again, "No, never gamble again!"

100,000 copper coins is a huge sum of money.

The interest alone is enough to crush Alice!

Oscar originally had two acres of first-level magic fields, and the price of each acre was as high as hundreds of thousands. However, the family used Oscar's death as an excuse to modify the contract of the magic fields. It automatically took effect legally. Thinking of the character of the third uncle, I am afraid he will not come back.

The family has not visited each other for three or five years, but when something happened, they all showed up, rushing to grab the house and the fields, and almost forced Alice to death!

This kind of people is better off not having them!

Oscar was very angry.

But he could do nothing.

The third uncle fled overnight, and the fields would definitely not be returned.

Alice worked hard, saying, "These furs were given by Aunt Wang from the tailor shop, and each was given 1 copper coin. This amount of money is too little. Alice will find another job tomorrow, sell some of the things that can be sold at home, and then borrow money everywhere, save money, and try to pay off the debt."

How can a girl bear the gambling debts owed by a man who is happy and romantic?

Oscar held Alice's cracked little hand and said, "Don't worry about making money to support the family in the future. Leave it all to me. This is what a man should do."

Alice was held by a warm and generous big hand, and her heart was warm. She shook her head and said, "Alice is a servant and should work. Your body has not recovered yet, so you should rest early."

Oscar lay on the bed. Alice covered him with a thick cup and added a few firewood to the kang. The cold was slightly driven away, but it was still very cold and made people shiver.

My head started to hurt again!

It seemed to be cracking!

It was impossible to fall asleep like this!

Alice worked for a while in the dim oil lamp and finished sewing a piece of leather. She looked back at Oscar, thinking that he was asleep, and took a small cloth bag from the corner and went out.

Where did Alice go in the middle of the night?

Oscar got up with difficulty, feeling dizzy and weak all over. He was very weak and could only walk with the help of the wall. He walked to the door to see what was going on.

It was cold outside, with snow and ice everywhere, the north wind howling, and goose feather snow falling.

Alice walked through the snow and ran to the door of the next door. A middle-aged woman opened the door and walked out. The two seemed to be talking. It was pitch black outside, and one or two words could be vaguely heard from the sound of the wind and snow.

"What? That guy is not dead yet! He is borrowing food again, am I right? How many times has this happened? I don't have any, and even if I have, I won't lend it to that bastard, so go!"

Bang!

The middle-aged woman closed the door directly.

Alice's petite body stood silently in front of the tight door, swaying slightly, as if she would fall down at any time. She pulled her clothes tighter and walked towards the second house against the strong wind.

"Borrow food? No, no, my family is poor, you can borrow from others!"

The third house.

"We don't have enough food, how can we lend you extra food!"

The fourth house.

"Go away! Don't bother me!"

...

Oscar sat down on the edge of the bed in despair. The mirror in front of him reflected his appearance. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, about 1.75 meters tall, neither tall nor strong, with delicate features, young and handsome. It was really hard to imagine what kind of person "I" was in the past.

I owe Alice too much!

"No!" Oscar got excited. It must be the self-esteem of the magician. He felt extremely humiliated. "Who am I, Oscar? How can I let a girl beg for food for me? Even if I starve to death on the street, I can't let Alice suffer such grievances!"

Alice knocked on several doors, but got nothing.

Three strong men passed by, wearing dark green coats and full of ruffian looks. When they saw Alice, their eyes lit up and they immediately stopped to discuss. One of them walked over directly: "Hey, isn't this the maid of Mr. Mu? When did you fall to this?"

Alice saw the strong men coming over, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared. It was late at night and there was no one on the street. She was afraid that they would have bad intentions.

"You look pitiful. You are still begging for food in the middle of the night. We have some surplus food. Why don't we lend it to you first..."

Alice hurriedly said when she heard this: "Thank you so much, you are really good people, and the young master and I will definitely pay it back!"

The strong man looked at Alice and said: "But we don't have it with us, so you can go with us."

Alice blushed: "I..."

Alice is not stupid. How could she not know the intentions of the few people when they said so much?

"I don't want it anymore!"

"Don't leave!" The sturdy man grabbed Alice roughly, "We want to help you, why don't you appreciate it?"

"I don't want it anymore!"

Alice screamed in panic.

Several people laughed unscrupulously, "What's so good about that kid? If you follow him, you will be begging for food. Come on, follow us, we will make you happy."

Oscar's head "boomed"!

Rage burned in his forehead!

What a bunch of beasts!

Oscar seemed to have suddenly regained some strength. He didn't even put on his clothes. He picked up a wooden stick from the corner, rushed out of the door, and rushed into the snow.
