Ezio thought he could adapt to this environment, and in fact, he did. No matter how tired he was or how hungry he was, he didn't want to go back to that home.
In addition to going to each house in the morning to deliver night incense, and then helping to wash clothes, he sometimes received the job of delivering messages. But they were basically unimportant personal messages, such as who told who to go home for dinner, and that they wouldn't meet up tonight.
For several days, Ezio became the most hardworking among the children. Naturally, his words carried some weight.
As for the reason, it was very simple. The other children were malnourished and looked half dead. Even if the little fatty was hungry for a few days, he still had the foundation left from before. He was considered to be the strongest and most agile among the group of children.
Therefore, Ezio's devil king temperament, which used to lead Kish and the three little magic cats to turn a home upside down, gradually awakened in this group of children. But he still couldn't beat the oldest child, Rowan, who had been taking care of this group of children for a long time. But there was no conflict between the two. At most, most of the children would still listen to Rowan's orders.
But another thought shook his determination to not go back to that home.
Not to mention that he was always hungry, the other children were also the same, especially when they were more or less sick. Especially the girl who gave him a small piece of black bread on the first night, Lucy, her physical condition was even worse.
Of course, Ezio didn't know how to see a doctor, but it didn't prevent him from understanding that the girl's body was very bad, as if she could die at any time. Although he was only a child, in the magician's home, he also understood what death was all about.
But Ezio didn't care about most people's deaths. The only thing he cared about was the aging Black Dragon, and now there was one more person. As for that annoying magician, he should die early.
That night, some people couldn't sleep well, holding their stomachs and crying. This group of children had learned not to cry a long time ago. But when they felt uncomfortable, they couldn't help but moan.
Enduring the feeling of hunger, Ezio got up and crawled to Lucy's big brother, Willie. He patted him lightly and pointed outside. The latter understood and followed him out.
"Ezio, what can't be said inside?" Willie asked.
"I know a place where there is food. Do you want to come with me to get it? "Ezio asked.
At the mention of food, a few voices came out from the side and asked, "Where is it? Where is it? Where is the food? "
Willy, on the other hand, wasn't like his companions, whose eyes lit up at the mention of food. Looking at his hesitant companion, Ezio was not in a hurry to deal with the others. Instead, he continued to persuade him, "There's soft white bread and a lot of delicious food there. I think Lucy would like those things too and eat more of them. So, do you want to go? "
At the mention of his sister, Wylie's attitude became less insistent. However, he still asked worriedly, "You're not going to steal food, are you?"
But Ezio patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the people living there are stupid and lazy. No one will find us."
It could only be said that the children's minds were not that complicated. Under Ezio's instigation and the fact that they were hungry, the children, including Willy, were all willing to follow Ezio on this trip. But someone asked, "Should we tell Rowan?"
Ezio frowned and said, "There's no need. When we get the food back, we'll share it with him. He won't have any objections if we do the work. "
Everyone made up their minds. Perhaps because they were crazy from hunger, no one had any objections to following Ezio. The group of children took advantage of the moonlight and jogged along the dark streets.
Most of the children were quite familiar with the road that they had lived on for some time, so they knew where to go without too much light. As for Ezio, he was simply used to running in all kinds of situations in that home that was full of traps. Sometimes it was chasing cats, sometimes it was hiding from people, and sometimes it was both.
Although Ezio's range of activities had rarely left that home before. This time, it was only by chance that he would walk to the Lower Street where the group of children lived, but it didn't mean that he had forgotten the way back. Even though he had been winding around before, in the dark, relying on the moonlight, he still found the shortest way home.
Under the moonlight, the building that had been built many times seemed so silent. There was no light coming through the windows, indicating that the people in the home had already gone to bed … This was what most people thought. But Ezio knew that it was just the lights that had been adjusted to be limited to a certain range. Nothing could be seen from the outside.
The wall that surrounded the courtyard wasn't the original stone wall, but a whole row of short trees that Halloumi had specially planted to replace the original wall. Don't think that plants aren't threatening. The flowers and plants that that weird sister planted were all for meat.
But somewhere along the wall, there was a cat hole that magic cats went in and out of. The magic cats dug it out themselves and didn't deliberately leave it there, so the group of people shouldn't know of the existence of this entrance.
Leading the other companions through the cat hole, Ezio ran to the kitchen with familiarity. As long as the Mage's midnight snack time was over, no one would stay in the kitchen. And to deal with the Mage who had an abnormal schedule, there would be food prepared in the kitchen that could be eaten at any time. Ezio wanted to get that food.
Because the kitchen would use fire, it was originally separated from the main building. Later, when a certain Mage moved in, he didn't deliberately change the layout. This was good news for Ezio and the other children. At least they didn't have to worry about getting into the big house and running the risk of being seen by the night patrol to find any place where food was placed.
The kitchen's wooden door handle was a little high for the children, and it was also deliberately made to prevent the little brats from breaking in. After all, it was a place where fire was used, and it was dangerous for the reckless children.
But this height wasn't a big problem for the group of children. Maybe it was because the people who came with Ezio were used to sneaking around, so they didn't wait for instructions. Some squatted down, and some sat on the shoulders and necks of the people who squatted down. They opened the kitchen door in the way of Diego.
The fire on the stove had been extinguished, but it didn't stop the group of hungry brats from looking for food. Ezio didn't let the others rummage around. Not leaving any traces was an agreement he made with the others before he came.
The children also agreed that it was a good thing for them to not attract attention no matter what. In this city where magicians congregated, the mages were too cruel. Even though they didn't know who lived in this mansion, they didn't know who it was.
