Chapter 157 Cynical sarcasm
Harry looked at several shops in a row, and the doors were locked outside. It seemed that the owner had already escaped. This made Harry's heart rise, what should he do if he couldn't find someone.
Especially I just promised Hill scholar that if I just returned so idle, Harry would feel sorry for not mentioning what Hill scholar would think.
Harry was looking forward to someone in the next store. Harry looked up and came to Old Sam's shop. Old Sam is in the medicinal material business and usually relies on the medicinal materials collected by the villagers to support the store.
Since he learned some knowledge of medicinal materials outside in his early years, he was usually responsible for treating people and was able to maintain his life.
Although Old Sam only has three-legged medical skills, there are still a constant stream of people coming to see him every day, because there are too few doctors.
Herbal apprentices like Old Sam are also popular, and Old Sam is also old and very kind-hearted. If a patient cannot afford the medicine, he can pay the medicinal materials, so Old Sam has a good reputation in the market.
Harry also respected Old Sam very much. When he was young, he often went to Old Sam's shop to play. Old Sam was the one who saw him being smart and smart, so he taught him to read. However, since he became the head of the grain store, even Old Sam gradually became distant from him.
At that time, he didn't understand the reason why everyone was alienated from him. Until one year, the winter was very cold that year, and the price of the Crison family's grain store increased sharply, and many people starved to death. Harry gradually understood the reason why others alienated themselves.
But it was impossible for him to quit. Now he was unable to help himself. He was still depressed for a while, but he did not dare to quit his position, otherwise the Crison family would not give him good fruit.
Later he gradually became numb because there were too many people dying in winter. Sometimes he felt like he was a blood-filled executioner. He even thought about whether the Crison family would be retribution one day, but before the Crison family could be retribution, he was rubbed to the end by the butler Barry.
Until the moment he was released, when he learned that the Crison family had failed, Harry was not sad, but was happy, as if he was sighing that God had finally opened his eyes.
Although he is in the Krisson family, Harry has always been with the civilians outside the world, because he has been wandering around the market since he was a child. If it weren't for the merchants in the market taking care of him, Harry would probably not have lived to be an adult in the cruel castle.
With excitement, Harry knocked on the door of Old Sam's shop. He knew that Old Sam would definitely be at home because he knew that Old Sam had settled in Fort Isaac for many years and had never left for many years. I believe that Old Sam would not leave this time.
Moreover, because the store door was locked, Harry could also analyze that there were people in the store. If the Crison family asked Harry to call people, he would definitely hesitate. According to the Crison family's nature, if he found these merchants, it would be fine.
But this time it was different. Harry thought it might be a good thing for them, so he went to Old Sam's shop without any scruples, because they might have met a kind lord, which can be seen from the fact that he had just captured the castle and could not wait to reduce the price of food.
Just as Harry knocked on the door, a few sounds seemed to come from the inside of the store, but in a flash, silence returned to the point. Harry knew that the people inside had already known that he was coming, so he spoke directly to reveal his identity.
"Uncle Sam, I'm Harry, are you okay?"
The people in the shop did not respond, but Harry, who was close to the door, could still hear the slight footsteps coming over. However, after he walked to the door, the footsteps stopped and he did not respond to Harry at all. Seeing this, Harry had to express his purpose.
"It was Lord Hill who sent me here. He asked you to discuss some things. Believe me, there is definitely no danger. Don't worry."
Hearing Harry's words, the person behind the door also became breathing rapidly, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart. He heard a sound behind the door and the door of the shop was opened. The one standing inside was not the old Sam, who was already old, but a middle-aged man who was about the same age as Harry.
The middle-aged man is about 1.7 meters tall, neither fat nor thin, and has a beard on his face. It can be seen that he has experienced many vicissitudes. However, after opening the door, he felt very angry and felt relieved after seeing Harry. However, when he saw that there were no soldiers behind him, he still felt angry and blurted out a word.
"You led the Imperial Army here (I got the wrong script)."
"You still have the face to come back. My father taught you in vain that year, so as not to let you become accomplices of the tiger."
Harry saw surprise on the people in the store, and even if he scolded him, he could only be excited and excited.
"Brother Ram, when did you come back? I haven't seen you for a long time. By the way, is Uncle Sam okay? How are you doing this year?"
However, the middle-aged man named Ram disliked Harry very much. Even though Harry had already spoken to him in a low voice, he still couldn't help but sarcasticize Harry.
"For your blessing, my father is in good health. If you don't come to see him, his health will be better. As for when I will come back, you don't have to worry about Director Harry."
Hearing Ram's answer, Harry felt relieved. Harry kept in mind the kindness of Uncle Sam to him back then and dared not forget it, but when he heard Ram's sarcasm for him, Harry was still a little disappointed. He turned his body sideways and wanted to look inside the store, but was immediately blocked by Ram.
"No need to see it. It's inconvenient for my father. I'll let you go with you. Don't bother him."
Harry actually just wanted to take a look at Uncle Sam's appearance, and to see if the places where he played in childhood had changed. Since he knew that the friends in the market didn't like him, Harry broke off contact with them, but this time it was different. He came back openly. He was straightforward, but he was still misunderstood by Ram. Harry opened his mouth to defend himself, but he still didn't say it in the end.
"I also have to go to the market to find other merchants, so Brother Ram will come with me first."
Ram looked like this indeed, with sarcasm in his eyes, but this time he did not speak, but turned around and closed the store door, silently following Harry, as if he didn't want to talk to him.
Then Harry circled the entire market and found that there were only seven merchants left in the market, and they were all merchants who had been in Fort Isaac for a long time. They had a bond in Fort Isaac, so it was not convenient to leave. All the others who could walk away had left. You should know that when the market was at the most, there were twenty or thirty shops, and now there were only seven merchants left.
