Chapter 2 Hope Planet(2/2)
Jin hid in the sewers of the monastery for a full month. Fortunately, he was born with malnutrition and was thin enough to hide in the narrow sewers without being discovered by the barbarian soldiers. When he was rescued, he weighed less than twenty kilograms and was dying.
Jin, who came back alive, was still allowed to live in the monastery and became an orderly for all the wounded soldiers. Among them, Sean was the best to him and often deliberately asked him to run errands for him and gave him a small tip.
"Kim, thank you." Sean retracted his thoughts and took out ten shillings from his pocket, "Tell the captain that I will be there on time. Also, take the time to buy me the latest Herald and send it to me.
By the way, you can find the quartermaster Robert Charles for me. He has promised to mail-order a batch of books from the Holy City for me. If they arrive, you can help me get them back and I will make up the money later."
"Thank you for your generosity, sir." King was very happy, because a newspaper only cost eight shillings, and the remaining two were his errand fees.
Sean noticed that Jin didn't walk away and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Sergeant Big Nose said you are a bit..."
Because of similar backgrounds, Jin was somewhat close to Sean. Sean said:
"Does Sergeant Gary Norris think I'm weird? Is he using my name again to talk nonsense among a group of big-headed soldiers?"
Big Nose is the nickname of Sergeant Norris. He is a person who likes to brag and chatter, but he is not in the same regiment as Sean. Norris is the most elite soldier of the Grenadier Regiment of the 21st Division, and Sean did not know him before.
The 21st Infantry Division is not full of people, but it has a strength of 10,000 people, so it is normal not to recognize them.
Jin nodded and said, "But I think you are very similar to our dean."
"In which way?" Sean asked.
"She loves reading. She has read all the books here, and she is a very nice person. She once said that she would teach me to read when I gain weight." Jin replied, "Mr. Connery, can you teach me to read?"
I can pay you, I have saved a lot of money."
