Chapter 105 (Mofan Town Plot) I hope Ada is happy
The noise here has alarmed the neighbors, and everyone has rushed to the gate of the courtyard to watch the excitement without even bothering to put on their clothes.
In the room, Penny had already climbed out of bed and moved slowly to Thor's side. Her face did not show the same despair as her brother's.
Penny reached down to Thor's knee and shook his leg gently.
"Brother Thor."
"I am here."
"Are they going to take Penny away?"
"Yes, and your brother shouldn't be able to stop them."
"Brother Thor," Penny raised her little face, not showing much fear, "Will Penny die after being taken away?"
"That's about right. Are you scared?"
"In fact, death is not a terrible thing. Brother Thor..."
"Um?"
"Since Penny is going to die, the eyes will be useless. Brother Sol, you can take them."
Thor looked at Penny and couldn't help but chuckle softly. He raised his hand and rubbed Penny's head.
"Brother Thor, I'm not someone who takes your things for nothing. Tell me, do you have any other wishes?"
Penny raised her hand and touched her head with an innocent look. This was the first time someone had rubbed her head.
"I hope..." Penny said without hesitation, "Ada can live a happier life in the future."
Thor was stunned and looked at little Penny, thinking she would say she didn't want to die or something.
"Got it." Thor said softly, "Now, look up and open your eyes wide. It will hurt a little."
Outside the door, Ada was still making his final efforts, and Captain Jeff did not resort to violence immediately.
He has been like this all these years. Rather than taking the girl away violently, he would let the girl's family give up voluntarily under the siege of the townspeople.
In this way, they can comfort themselves in their dreams at midnight that they sacrificed their children for the overall benefit of the town.
Sure enough, someone outside the door had already started to persuade Ada.
The reasons they use are nothing more than "the town has taken you in", "you can live a stable life in the town in the future", "people should never forget their gratitude", etc.
Aunt Jenny, who always loved to join in the fun, appeared at the gate of the courtyard. She walked in slowly, and as soon as she opened her mouth, Ada, who had been blocking the door, broke down.
"Ada, just let Captain Jeff take Penny away. You have been in Mofan Town for so many years, and you have no intention of leaving with Penny. Aren't you prepared for Penny to be taken away one day?"
Ada, who had a tough face just now, raised his head in disbelief, "Aunt Jenny!"
Jenny chuckled, "Otherwise you should have left long ago. Aren't you just coveting the stability and prosperity of Mofan Town? In this kind of life, taking a little risk with your sister is acceptable, isn't it?"
Ada's shoulders slumped, and he shook his head in despair, "No, no."
Captain Jeff took a look at the sky. This Ada was unexpectedly difficult to deal with. And today neither the wizard nor the mayor could come...
He waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed forward, determined to rob the person.
I have encountered some tough people over the years. If you don’t have time, you can always snatch the person away first and then comfort them.
When Ada saw the soldiers coming up, he ran to the door of the house and pressed his hands and feet against the door frame.
"No, I won't let you take Penny away."
The soldier didn't care about an unarmed boy and was about to clear the way with his fists.
At this moment, a man suddenly rushed out from behind the soldier and inserted himself directly between Ada and the soldier.
It's Jaycee.
In his hand he held a long knife, identical to the one Jeff had on his waist.
"Hey, Ada, can you save Penny like that? At the critical moment, you still need to take up a weapon like me."
"Jayce?" Ada never expected that at the most critical moment, it was Jayce, whom he had always looked down upon and was most wary of, who stood up to protect Penny.
Seeing Jayce appear, Captain Jeff, who had been standing nearby, finally stepped forward.
"Jayce, this is none of your business." Jeff also drew out his long knife.
"Of course I will. To be honest, Penny is already my daughter. She calls me dad, so I naturally have to protect her."
Jeff looked a little serious when he saw this.
The people in the courtyard also retreated, realizing that a fight might really break out.
"Go and bring Penny out, and leave Jayce to me." Captain Jeff ordered loudly.
Jayce naturally knew that Ada would not be a match for those soldiers. While he had to be careful of Jeff, he also had to help Ada share most of the pressure.
But after leaving the army for so many years, he might not be able to deal with so many people.
It seemed that a bloody battle was inevitable.
"Ada, Jayce."
"Brother, Dad."
Penny's hoarse voice came from behind.
Both of them were shocked and turned to look inside the house.
Penny was groping her way out of the house, her eyes, which were usually open, now tightly closed.
In the room, Thor was still sitting at the table, watching all this with an expressionless face.
"Penny, go back quickly." Ada shouted.
"Ada, take Penny away, I'll stop them." Jayce wanted to continue delaying time.
"Brother, Dad, stop fighting. Let them take Penny away. Penny is not afraid of dying."
Ada looked at Penny in disbelief, "Why, Penny?"
But Jayce snorted, "Don't pay attention to what a child says."
He raised his long knife and rushed forward.
The soldiers on the opposite side did not expect him to launch an attack suddenly and could only dodge.
At this time, Jeff had also arrived. He chopped down with a knife and almost hit Jayce's shoulder.
Fortunately, Jayce changed his tactics temporarily, put away the knife and held it horizontally, thus avoiding blood splattering on the spot.
After all, he hadn't fought for many years. When he picked up the knife, he found that he was old.
Ada picked up Penny and wanted to take the opportunity to run out of the yard, but he didn't expect that the gate of the yard had been tightly blocked by the residents of the town.
Even when they saw Ada rushing over with Penny in her arms, they had no intention of moving away.
Ada wanted to push the people away, but found that he could not resist the power of so many people alone.
He was quickly pinned down by the soldiers who came from behind and Penny was snatched away.
This time, the residents of the town immediately made way for the passage.
Several soldiers grabbed Penny and were about to walk out.
At this time, Penny, who had been silent all the time, suddenly turned around and shouted loudly: "Ada, Brother Sol promised me that he would make you happy in the future."
As soon as she finished saying this, Penny was taken out of Ada's sight.
"Penny!!!!"
Ada was still pinned down until Jayce was chopped down by Jeff and several other soldiers.
Jeff didn't do anything cruel to Jayce, he just left a long knife wound on his chest.
"Jayce, your behavior has violated the bottom line of the town. You are required to leave Mofan Town within three days." Captain Jeff paused and said, "Or if you are willing to reform and return to the guards, I can let you go."
But Jayce just pressed the wound and slowly got up from the ground, ignoring Jeff's solicitation.
Jeff shook his head and led his men away.
After the soldiers left, some neighbors wanted to come forward to comfort Ada, but when they saw Ada staring at them fiercely with his red eyes, they all shook their heads and backed away.
And they say in a nice way, "Wait until you are rational."
