Chapter 534: Some Past Part 533

It was the first time that Halida saw Mr. Lyle so gentle.

He usually has a stern face and speaks at length.

Today is different...

Of course, it is also a long story.

Did something good happen?
Like meeting Mr. Collins?
Halida didn't know, but she knew this was at least a good opportunity - her brother had been ill for a long time, and had been unable to wake up recently. Not only did he not cry, he rarely even babbled now.

he is sick.

You need to see a doctor.

"Sick again?" Mason Lyle's smile froze, and his words were filled with impatience: "He sleeps all day. How much money did he make for the circus? He spent it all on medical treatment!"

Halida said cautiously: "One or two pennies... no, one or two shillings... Woof! Mister... give birth Woof!"

She started to get nervous again.

Mason Lyle waved his hand in disgust: "Take a day off, and you'll have two less loaves of bread this month."

Halida hesitated: "First..."

"The circus doesn't need dogs anymore." Mason Lyle's smile gradually disappeared: "Anto took a lot of money from me, I don't have any money to give you... Go borrow it, he's not my brother, kid. You have to do something for your family instead of always relying on others, right?"

Halida nodded silently.

Yes.

Mr. Lyle is right.

That was her family, not his.

She promised her mother to protect her younger brother, always.

then.

Halida picked up the baby boy, bowed to Lyle, and ran out of the tent.

She went to find Uncle Sulley, Anto and Brother Formans.

But they all said they had no money left.

later.

Halida went to see the Baudelaire sisters again - she rarely went to see them, and she was a little afraid of one of the leaders.

Sister Bodaipon.

She spoke in a breathtaking way.

"Look, here comes Miss Five Pound."

as predicted.

Halida, who followed her into the tent, heard these words as soon as she stepped in.

The two-headed woman was setting up the target she had just tried, and was winding the throwing knives into the cloth one by one.

As she said this, Bodelli patted Bodepong's head gently.

Bodaipon curled his lips: "Don't touch my head, I told you."

Sister Bodali said in a low voice: "I also said that you should talk to Halida nicely."

She twisted her body and turned around, moved a stool for the frightened dark-skinned girl, and sat on the ground herself.

The blanket wasn't very soft, and monsters like them didn't need anything soft.

"Did you have breakfast?"

asked Bodaly.

Halida hugged her brother tightly and shook her head.

"Eat something." Ignoring the other head rolling its eyes, the elder sister pulled out a fried cake wrapped in newspaper from the gap between the boxes.

I broke off most of it and gave it to Halida.

Bodaipeng rolled his eyes and said, "It's better to let both of us starve to death, or do you only want to starve me to death——"

Before she could finish her words, the elder sister stuffed the remaining half piece of cake into the younger sister's mouth.

Halida looked at the cake on the table, but instead of reaching out for it, she lowered her head even more.

"What's wrong, Halida?" Bodelli lowered her voice.

She knew the girl was timid.

It’s not just small.

"I..." The anxious girl opened her mouth.

soon.

A beginningless and endless woof was heard in the tent again.

This lasted nearly five full minutes.

Bodepont yawned.

"We don't have a performance today, Halida. Maybe I should boil you a cup of hot water?" Bodai's eyes were gentle: "I secretly hid some tea, would you like a cup?"

Halida felt even more ashamed.

“…I want to borrow some money.”

Bodaipeng glared at him instantly: "I thought my ancestors were shameless enough! You gave birth to us with such blood - you are even more shameless than my ancestors! Black wild dog! Do you think it's easy to cheat us out of our money?!"

If his partner hadn't held him back, Bodaipon would have stood up and hit her hard twice.

Halida was terrified. She hugged the baby in her arms, kicked her legs a few times, and curled up into a ball.

Bodaili was very angry: "Pongpeng! If you don't want to listen to me, cut off my head with a knife!"

Bodepon: ...

"…She has her own money." The younger sister coughed and said angrily, "I know she often touches that coin…Five pounds, sister, that's five pounds!"

Bodaili sighed, turned to the girl who was trembling like a quail, and said in a gentler voice: "Halida. Do you want to borrow money for your brother's medical treatment?"

Halida nodded silently.

"So, the coin my sister was talking about, is it five pounds?" "...Yes."

"You don't want to spend it, do you?"

Halida tightened the swaddling clothes, her silver eyes firm: "Well, then, that's what my master gave me."

Bodaipon cheered: "Oh! Sir! Man! Handsome, straight... likes you?" She slapped the carpet with her big hands, making a dull sound.

"Did he *you?"

Bodaly glared at her sister.

Halida explained quietly: "…That's not money."

she says.

"That's hope...the hope he gave me."

what.

This sentence is really worthy of irony.

But Bodelli stopped her sister.

She perhaps understood the importance of hope better than her sister, or Halida, or even anyone else in the circus.

That's heavier than five pounds.

Heavier than fifty thousand pounds.

"Your hopes, eh?"

Halida nodded seriously: "I, mine...I want to keep it..."

Bodaipon turned his face away silently, and said nothing more, but his mouth was moving "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes"...

Bodaly was relieved.

She looked at the petite and thin girl in front of her, her light brown skin and silver eyes, as if she was looking at a drowning person holding onto a rope in a turbulent river.

"Then I'll lend it to you."

"elder sister?!"

Bodaili said calmly: "Five shillings, if you can wait, we have a little more hidden... but it has to be at night."

Halida did not wait any longer.

She took the five shillings, thanked him sincerely, and promised to pay him back. Then she got out of the tent and walked quickly along the deserted road to the city.

After she left, Bodaipon got angry: "That's the money we saved!"

"We were almost sold to Noti Golden Lamp," Bodelli reached out and picked up the half-eaten oil cake on the table. She grinned and crushed a small piece with her molars. She softened it with saliva and swallowed it bit by bit. "If it weren't for Halida, we would have died."

This made Bodaipon quiet for a while.

"All right," she sighed. "All right. But I've already told you, there's money, there's money, five pounds. I saw it clearly. Why would she borrow money from us with five pounds? She can't pay it back at all."

Bodaili didn't answer, but just raised her head lightly.

"I spoke to Mr. Lyell recently—while you were sleeping."

"…What?"

"Cut off the head." Bodaili glanced at her panicking sister, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. "Let's work for him for a while longer, and then find a doctor. The head of a two-headed man is valuable. Mine can be sold to those medical colleges."

"You can share some, Mr. Lyle can take more... Don't complain about it being too little, Puff. I mainly do this for the free surgery. You know how hard it is to convince those big shots to touch our bodies."

"When the time comes, with one head and one body, you can live a long time."

Not like they are now.

Two-headed, short-lived monster.

Maybe they won’t live for half a year?

a year?
So what's the difference.

If one dies, the rest can live like normal people.

Bodaipon is now truly angry.

Or fear.

This was far more alarming than hearing that five shillings were to be lent.

“How dare you!!” She almost used half of her body to pull it apart, tears streaming down her face. It seemed as if there was a layer of phlegm in her throat. She sobbed and shouted hoarsely: “How could you abandon me!!”

"We agreed! Live together! Die together!"

"Bodali! You...you..." She couldn't stop her tears and her heart beat faster and faster.

Fear was like an umbilical cord wrapped around her neck, strangling her and making it difficult for her to breathe.

She can't live without her sister.

Can't live alone.

"No... You can't leave me..."

She was angry and roared, then began to wail and beg.

However, Bodelli just used her equally thick big hand, her own big hand, to gently touch her sister's face.

"I was just kidding, Puff."

she says.

The sobbing stopped abruptly.

She looked at the fire that suddenly burned in her sister's eyes, and didn't wait for her to curse or strangle her.
