【400】Rare miss
In this way, Chen Ran spent most of his day just to get this business that didn't seem to have much to do with him.
When the family finally reunited, the scene of crying and hugging, Chen Ran's heart seemed to be hurt by something at that time. This simple warmth seemed so precious in their eyes.
The couple knelt in front of Chen Ran at the same time.
"Thank you, sir, for saving us. If you don't have your help, maybe our family will never get together again. We can't afford this money, so you can take it."
The man of the head of the family handed over the 300 gold coins that Chen Ran had claimed before truthfully. This seemingly elegant man was extremely kind but not very kind.
In fact, they are all in their forties, but they look like they are in their fifties. They look dynamically old on their faces. It is not the old face, but the half-white hair in their hearts. The half-white hair also proves his achievements over the years.
Chen Ran stopped his hand: "You accept it, you need this money more than me."
Looking at Chen Ran's indifferent demeanor, the man didn't say much, just continued to express gratitude.
"If you really thank me, take me to your house and sit down."
...
Back in the slum again, Chen Ran sat in a very simple adobe house.
Although the inside is simple, it is decorated very neatly and looks a bit simple. It has obviously been carefully arranged under these limited conditions.
Chen Ran walked to the wall in the room and looked at several carbon paintings with a charm, some of which were figures and some of which were landscape paintings.
"This is what I drew." Shasha walked forward shyly: "It's not very good, so you'll laugh at me."
"It's already rare," Chen Ran praised the same little girl Ling Meng. Under the education of a master like Ella, she could not draw this charm at that time, but this little girl had a certain foundation and had put in effort. Here, the so-called teacher seemed to be her parents who could teach her. Chen Ran couldn't help but ask Xiang Shasha's family: "What did you do before?"
Shasha's mother replied respectfully: "Sir, my husband was born in a small aristocratic family in an artistic family. He used to be a painter and musician, and I was a dance drama actress. We lived well before, but when we were occupied by the Austro-Hungarian army, we began to lose everything. We made a living by doing some hard work."
Chen Ran noticed the slender scar on the woman's face and asked curiously: "Since he was the leading actor, I guess you didn't have this scar before?"
Shasha's mother smiled bitterly and said, "I got it myself."
"Why?" Chen Ran was a little puzzled.
"If I don't do that, I believe I am no longer my husband's wife," the woman's expression seemed a little bitter: "At that time, when I was in the city, I cut off the scar and made it allergic to bleed, and made my body allergic to show rashes one by one. When others thought I was sick and no one wanted me, I was lucky enough to live with my husband."
"Then, it must be very painful..."
Chen Ran felt very uncomfortable. What can people say when they live to such a gift?
"It's okay, but it hurt a little at that time," the woman shook her head with relief, "but as long as the family can be together, it's worth it."
Shasha's father came over and hugged his wife: "It is my lifelong blessing to have a wife like you, but this scar is your sexiest soul." He kissed the scar on his wife's face.
Listening to such a warm conversation, Chen Ran felt even more uncomfortable. If such a couple lived in another era, they might be an enviable couple, but at this moment...
Shasha's younger brother walked up to Chen Ran and asked curiously: "Uncle, what kind of place is the Holy Church? I heard from my sister before that it is a very beautiful place."
"Yes, it's very beautiful there," Chen Ran bent down and asked the little boy, "Little guy, do you have any dreams when you grow up?"
"I want to be a warrior, fight back all the bad guys who bully my family and let my family live a good life."
Although the little guy is young, he has a firm face.
This ideal is very good, but he has a rare sense of hostility in his eyes.
The fierce folk customs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire have penetrated into the backbone of every child.
This world of talking with fists is profound.
In this country, strength is faith.
But this look strengthened Chen Ran's idea of changing the world.
Before, it only happened a little bit, but at this moment, it was so profound that it made him deeply.
"I think the City of Holy Light can bring out your value more," Chen Ran nodded: "You are ready to move out of here, and I will make you qualified to pass the border."
Even though they have helped this, Chen Ran simply helps the whole thing.
Although he cannot help everyone, he will never be stingy with the help within this ability.
When he heard what Chen Ran said at this moment, the family felt as if they had heard something incredible, with shock in their eyes.
"Why, don't you believe me?" Chen Ran blinked.
"No...not that..." Shasha's father said excitedly, "Is it really OK? Sir, you have done so much for us, and we don't know how to repay you..."
"For the sake of faith in the Holy Light," Chen Ran said without hesitation: "If you can make that city better, this is the best gift you can give me."
Chen Ran waved his hand.
"If you are ready, you can go out today," Chen Ran looked at the room, the little Jian's things, "There is nothing to take away here. I can pick a few important things and leave. I don't have much time."
Shasha's mother also nodded and said, "Actually, we really have nothing to take away. If it is convenient for adults, now..."
"No, there is something precious!"
Shasha suddenly ran to the window and held a small flower pot. It was a very tiny grass on it.
She handed it to Chen Ran.
"Big brother, this is what my grandfather left to me back then. It is said to be a very magical plant called Seven Color Flower. It is said that it can bring good luck to people after blooming, but it is difficult to grow up. Because it is inconspicuous, this is the only precious thing we brought out back then, but I have been waiting for many years but I have never waited for the day when it blooms. However, my good luck seems to have come. I give this thing to you, maybe. You will need it more than I do."
"Is that right?" Chen Ran smiled, "Then let me see what this is called the planting and growing of the seven-color flowers."
Needless to say, Chen Ran activates the power of [Light of Destiny], and the colorful light begins to emerge in his palm. He hurriedly covers the light on the inconspicuous plant.
Chen Ran thought that this plant would grow flowers soon...
But after a minute passed, the plant did grow a little bit, proving that it was alive, but the gap between Chen Ransan thought was not a small part.
This greatly damaged his omnipotent image...
"Big brother. What's wrong?" Shasha looked at the growing small plant and blinked Chen Ran curiously.
Chen Ran quickly stopped and couldn't help but cough awkwardly.
"Oh, nothing. Thank you for this gift, I like it very much."
Chen Ran concealed it for a moment. But he felt a little depressed. His omnipotent [Light of Destiny] only changed this thing a little bit. It made him feel very incredible. If it were the Blood Essence Fruit or the Golden Spirit Fruit, the first fruit would have already produced.
So, Chen Ran accepted the special gift from the little girl to him and waited for the opportunity to study it.
...
In one day, Chen Ran relied on his status to complete some procedures for going abroad through Austro-Hungary relations. With Chen Ran's help, Shasha's family successfully left Tiandu City in a carriage and drove to the Holy City.
When leaving, Chen Ran cured the wrongly injured scar on Shasha's mother's face, and only allowed them to start over and have a new place to settle down in the Holy City.
This is to get the loyalty of this family, although it seems useless.
He did all this for nothing, perhaps doing so would calm his mind a little.
That's all.
Of course he could not have known that many years later, the growing brother and sister became the most famous painter in the Holy City, and the younger brother also became a very brave Knight Templar.
Of course these are naturally later...
...
In one day, it was dusk when Chen Ran returned to the palace.
Luo La had been practicing the combat skills in the secret book in the palace, and had never stopped except for resting and serving Chen Ran.
It is precisely this attitude that with the help of Chen Ran, her strength has improved significantly and she has already shown her ability, but the road she has to go is indeed a long time.
What he saw and heard on this day made Chen Ran feel a lot. Although there are countless unfair things in the world, just like the situation in the Shasha family, there are far more than those in the Austro-Hungarian Empire than in other countries.
He never thought he was the so-called savior, but I believe that people with some conscience would feel something about this situation. However, it was the ability to change all this.
Chen Ran didn’t know how many people could change this world, but he was definitely one of them!
He finally understood the mood when the Pope said to him at that time.
If the war begins, he will inevitably be involved in the whirlpool of this dispute.
Today, Chen Ran was very confused.
Fortunately, in the chaotic mind, the pot of something called Seven Color Flowers that the little girl gave him distracted him.
This thing is too difficult to grow.
Looking at the slight effect, Chen Ran once thought that his [Light of Destiny] had failed, but after seeing the [Light of Destiny] shining under his body, the Snake Letter Grass, the Phantom Sound Grass, and the Demon Soul Grass can grow more easily, he stared at the grass that had just grown a little, with a dazed look on his face.
He had exhausted all his magic.
Just the result of tm!
Of course, large investment may also mean high returns. Perhaps, when this little thing grows, it may bring unexpected surprises. At least Chen Ran understands that this thing is definitely not a special thing.
However, today's magic has been used up, so I can only wait for tomorrow to continue. Chen Ran always maintains the blue-blue-back gain, wanting to see if the above things can be cultivated as soon as possible.
