Train to Another World.

Chapter 408 Small moves

People in this world go to bed early because they can reduce their energy consumption and save water and food. Nightlife is the privilege of the nobility and wealthy businessmen.

Although Miya, as the eldest daughter of the Lord of Haichao City, is also a noble, she is sensible and will save food for her family, eating as little as possible. So at night, let alone nightlife, she even goes to bed as early as ordinary civilians.

But today, Miya did not fall asleep as usual, firstly because she had eaten her fill for the first time in a long time, and secondly because that person was staying at her house today.

After her two younger sisters fell asleep, Mia walked out of the room, came to the guest room, and knocked on the door gently.

"Who?"

"It's me, Miya."

After a moment of silence in the room, the door opened. Pat glanced at Mia and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Did you receive the letters I wrote to you?"

Pat paused: "Got it."

"Why didn't you write me back?"

"After all, we are on different sides, so there is no point in replying. If a war really breaks out, either I will kill your father, or your father will kill me."

Mia asked, "What happened? Don't talk about whether to start a war or not. Why don't you even tell me the reason? If there really is a man-eating monster, it is not impossible to solve it by combining the power of our two cities."

Pat smiled and said, "Based on what you know about your father, if I ask him to borrow soldiers, will he lend them to me for free?"

"he……"

"Of course not, right? To tell you the truth, a major incident has occurred in Wangya City. There is already a serious food deficit, and it cannot be solved in a short period of time.

The food stored in my place is not enough to cover the expenses of the city defense army next month. The reason why I plan to attack Haichao City is only because you are the closest to me and I cannot afford the expenses of marching.

Although I am very sorry for you, but in this world, in order to survive, there is no shame in doing anything."

Miya didn't know that Wangya City had reached such a point. She continued, "But fortunately, you gave up the war. Is it because of Lord Li Zhuoguang and the others? I will tell my father tomorrow and ask him to introduce you to them. If Haichao City can join them, you can too. We can all live a good life."

Pat smiled bitterly: "It's too late. If I could have met them earlier, I would have knelt down and licked their boots, but it's too late."

Seeing Pat like this, Mia was shocked. She was not stupid. But before she could scream, Pat hit Mia's vagus nerve with a palm, knocking her unconscious.

"I'm sorry, Miya. I can go hungry, but I can't let my daughter go hungry with me."

Before Miya fell asleep, she had only one thought: How could he have a daughter when he hasn't even married yet?

Pat glanced at Mia who was lying on the ground, and left. Outside, the sound of sand hitting the city wall was very loud, and no one knew what was happening here, except Li Zhuoguang's clone.

After Pat left, Li Zhuoguang picked up Mia from the ground and walked towards her bedroom. After entering the bedroom, he found that the three sisters slept in the same room.

The three sisters all ate a lot tonight. The second sister, Yavi, slept very soundly. But Virginie, who was still a child and had a weak digestion, had been lying on the bed groaning since she woke up.

Seeing the movement, she turned around and saw that it was her uncle carrying her sister back. Virginie looked at the clone, and the clone also looked at Virginie. While the clone was still thinking of an excuse, Virginie asked, "Uncle, you are not going to marry me, but my sister?"

"No, it's just that your sister was too tired and fell asleep in the corridor, so I sent her back."

"So that's how it is." Virginie turned over and continued to hum.

Children are so easy to coax, the clone sighed as he threw Miya onto the bed and turned around to leave.

"Uncle, do you have any more fruit?" Virginie asked just as the clone was about to go out.

The clone didn't have any fruit, so he could only perfunctorily say, "No more, we've eaten all the fruit we brought today."

Virginie arched her butt in disappointment: "I also said that if you can give me a fruit, I will tell you a secret."

Oh, Mr. Li likes to say no to those self-righteous guys: "Tell me the secret now, and I will give you fruit tomorrow."

What does Mr. Li have to do with his clone?

"Okay! Okay!" Virginie twisted happily on the bed, then she waved to her clone, who walked over and squatted beside the bed.

"I'll tell you in secret, my elder sister actually likes flowers more than fruits. But my father thinks flowers are flashy and useless, so my family has never bought flowers. My elder sister can only go to my father's study to look at the flowers in the paintings."

The clone of the old man in the subway: "What kind of secret is this?"

Virginie said, sucking her finger, "The last time Brother Pat and Uncle Wharton came to my house, Brother Pat exchanged this secret with me for a green fruit."

"Who is Wharton?"

"Brother Pat's dad."

"Okay, I understand. Go to bed early. You'll have fruit to eat when you wake up tomorrow." Li Zhuoguang reached out and covered Virginie with the quilt, then walked out of the room.

The clone wanted to follow Pat to see what he wanted to do, but in his "circle" perception, Pat did not leave the city, but went to a certain place. So the clone went to Old Pierre's room first.

Pat deliberately avoided the commercial street because there were still people there even at night. He walked along a small alley, through residential and commercial areas, and finally came to an abandoned house on the edge of the city.

Although it was abandoned, Pat knew that two people were on duty around the house day and night. He skillfully made a big circle and approached the house. There was a well-camouflaged clay tablet behind the house.

Pat removed the clay tablet and saw something written on the back of the tablet, but it was too dark at night for him to see clearly. But it didn't matter. After removing the clay tablet, a big hole was revealed, just enough for a person to lie down and enter.

Pat crawled into the house through the big hole. There was nothing in the house except a well, which was covered by a huge metal cover with buckles around it. If you push from the inside out, you will never be able to push it open.

This is the secret escape passage left by the Steven family. Pat only found out about this place by chance.

Pat came to the well and knocked on the metal cover, which made a series of muffled sounds. He dared to do this because this place was right next to the city wall, where the noise was the loudest. Even if he jumped on the metal cover, the two guards outside would not be able to hear him.

After knocking, Pat put his ear to the manhole cover, and after a while, he heard the replying knocking from inside.
