The fifty-ninth chapter psychic college (1)
After discussing and communicating the current situation, Danica called Tom, a coachman, and told him that he was going to the slum.
"But Miss Fengyu, it's almost noon now. When we get there, we won't have time to come back before dark." Tom looked at the sun that had been late and reminded him.
"It's okay. If it's too late, let's stay in the slum for one night." Danica didn't care much.
Recently, Danica has spent a lot of effort on missionary missions in slums. In order to have an intuitive and clear understanding of the living conditions of slums, she even bought a house there as a temporary resting place.
After Danica's selection, she chose a house with a slightly off-site location. The house in the slum will naturally not be very luxurious. The only advantage is that it is quite large, with five bungalows connected together, plus a large vegetable cellar, and a not-small yard with sufficient space for activity. This house originally lived in six families, and in addition to the five bungalows, there was also a family building a shack in the yard to live in one. In order to avoid attracting too much attention - after all, it is very strange that a noble lady bought a yard in the slum - this matter was handled by Tom. After buying the house, after three days of thorough cleaning, she finally could live. Danica said that staying for one night means spending one night in this house.
"Okay, Miss Fengyu." Since the noble lady had her own plans, Tom had no reason or qualification to object. He responded, then went to get the carriage in and drove it out.
These days, Danica often runs into the slums. Every time Tom catches the car, he can grasp the road conditions and the time required on the road very accurately. When he drove out of the villa, he had already calculated where to stop at noon so that he could have a decent lunch in the carriage.
What Tom did not expect was that Danica seemed to be very anxious this time and was in a hurry. She did not make any stops on the road, so she asked him to drive the carriage to the slum directly.
When we arrived at the slum, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Just when Tom was about to drive the carriage into the slum, he suddenly heard Danica's voice in the carriage: "Okay, let's stop here and have something to eat!"
"Ah? Oh, OK, Miss Fengyu." Tom really couldn't understand the noble lady's temperament. She had already arrived here. After walking a while, she could reach Danica's residence in the slum. Although there were no full-time chefs there, she at least had some snacks and ready-made ingredients to use. Why did she have to stop again at this time?
Tom took out the stool with confusion, let Danica get out of the car, looked around, Danica said, "Isn't that the small restaurant I went to when I first came? Let's go there today to have some casual food."
Tom felt a bitter feeling when he saw the small restaurant. Of course he remembered it. Miss Fengyu was injured there, and he was scolded by Curis for this. In his impression, the small restaurant was dirty and torn, and even an ordinary coachman was unwilling to go there for dinner. Miss Fengyu really could it stand it?
Tom wanted to persuade him to see if he could find a not-so-dirty place to eat. But before he could speak, Danica took a step towards the small restaurant. There was no way, Tom just swallowed the words that had already reached his mouth. Forget it, since the master has decided, what would he say if he is a servant?
Although Danica is not as particular as hereditary aristocrats, she is willing to live comfortably and exquisitely if she can. The reason why she chose this dilapidated restaurant again is mainly to experience how the real poor live more specifically. Although Tom, a coachman, despised such a restaurant, for at least half of the poor in the slums, they dare not come to such a place to buy a muddy beer because they can't afford it. This extreme poverty is hard for a person who has no personal experience in this area. Danica does not mean that she must be approachable, but understanding of the other party is an important prerequisite for effective communication.
Walking to the door of the small restaurant, Danica took a deep breath, enjoying the last bit of fresh air, and then reached out and pushed the door open.
It's still the disgusting smell, mixed with fishy smell and inexplicable rotten smell, which makes people feel like they want to vomit.
To be honest, at that moment, Danica felt a little regretful. What personal experiences and extreme poverty, isn’t this a cause for her own suffering? But soon, she threw away her regrets and disgusts, and only the only thing she left was surprise - in the corner, a middle-aged man in rags and dirty bodies was eating noodles there with a large wooden bowl. He was happily eating with a rough wooden fork without teeth, and he was snuggling noodles into his mouth.
While Danica looked over there, the sloppy middle-aged man also saw her. He grinned, showed his big yellow teeth, and said, "Do you want to get some knowledge from me?"
Although the sudden appearance of this mysterious guy surprised Danica, and to be honest, she was even a little afraid, she quickly adjusted her mindset, held her head up, walked over slowly, and said, "I thought you were still in prison, beaten to pieces, dying, and begging for mercy!"
The sloppy man didn't expect Danica's tone to be so arrogant and so aggressive. He shrugged and said, "Obviously, the scene you imagined did not happen. I am still alive and have free money to come here to eat a bowl of noodles. Moreover, to my surprise, you didn't realize that you were not my opponent at all. You don't have the right to speak in this tone in front of me." The sloppy man's tone became more and more severe. At the end, he grabbed the fork with his teeth with his right hand and pointed to Danica's left wrist.
Danica immediately countered, dodged with her left hand, and took out a small dagger five or six centimeters long from the space ring with her right hand, and stabbed it into the sloppy man's carotid artery. Looking at the blue blue at the edge of the dagger, it was obvious that the dagger was also poisonous.
