Was saved.
Lorraine stayed up all night, holding the gold coin in his hand and opening his eyes until the next day. She really couldn't sleep, her mind was rumbling, but she didn't know what she was thinking-the scene of throwing gold coins at the back door of the tavern appeared repeatedly.
Lorraine knew that the night had passed when he heard the owner of the hotel taking heavy steps, cursing and walking into the basement to collect the rent. She climbed up from the thatch spread on the ground and carefully opened the door of the small compartment.
The air in the basement is turbid and the light is zero. The hotel owner carried an oil lamp, kicked the door of each compartment, and shouted cursingly: "Get up, poor ghosts, it's time to pay the rent. Get out if you have no money."
Two sturdy guys came down behind the boss, who were equally disgusting. They have never been merciless to the poor. They fought when they couldn't collect the rent, and any plea was useless, and they just threw people into the street and let them die of cold and starvation.
Every compartment in the basement of the hotel is full of people, and there is no dignity and reputation to live in such a place. But many people couldn't even afford to rent five copper coins a day, and had to kneel in vain to let the boss show mercy.
The noises and pleadings came and went one after another, mixed together, and circulated like this every day. Until a crisp voice stood up and shouted: "Boss, I will pay the rent for everyone here."

The innkeeper turned his head and raised the oil lamp to illuminate a thin boy and a yellow coin in his palm.
Of gold.
"Boy, where did you steal it from?" The innkeeper yelled and grabbed it. The two stout guys behind him stared straight, and they were about to push forward.
The skinny Lorraine stood still, instead shouting loudly: "Take your dirty hands away, I got a very good job, this is the prepaid salary I got. A nobleman expressed his favor to me, Do you dare to move me to try?"
In the hierarchical alien world, there is a huge gap between nobles and commoners. There are a lot of laws and regulations for civilians in society, but nobles have privileges and can ignore those terrible restrictions.
The innkeeper's extended hand stopped and looked at the gold coins and then at the confident face of the thin boy. Lorraine sneered disdainfully, and threw the gold coin that he had finally gotten away...
It's so cool, it turns out that the condescending gift is so cool!
It was the first time for Lorraine's family to see a gold coin, and now she threw it away, but it was even more imposing. She was obviously shorter than the hotel owner, but at the moment she was so proud that everyone in front of her seemed to be lower than her.
The hotel owner stretched out his hands to pick up the gold coin. He was overjoyed, "Well, you can all live in the future until the gold coin runs out. By the way, you must be hungry. I will prepare food for you. And hot water."
People squeezed their heads out of the basement, and they couldn't believe that someone took out a gold coin to help them.
Lorraine's father also walked out of the cubicle and sighed in a low voice, "My child, that's a gold coin. Our family has never made such a sum of money."
Yeah, a lot of money.
Lorraine loosened his shoulders and replied softly: "Dad, bless me. This time someone will give me a chance to live, and I will give others the same chance. Irmat is guiding me, and I will do whatever it takes. Go hold it."
In order to earn the gold coin, the hotel owner sent a lot of food to the residents in the basement. To please Lorraine, a piece of meat was specially sent to her.
Lorraine saw the piece of jerky that had been left for an unknown number of years, and waved in disdain: "Give it to others, I'm going to eat better."
The hotel owner was even more surprised, and he didn't dare to offend him easily.
Only Lorraine knew that the food she had a stomachache last night had been digested a long time ago, and now she feels hungry again. But she also knew that this was a world of cannibalism, and she had to put her posture on her own, not to be looked down upon.
Leaving the hotel and heading to the tavern, the two places are actually half a street away, and you will be there in a short walk. Lorraine realized that she was not the first one, and there were people who were earlier than her, even staying overnight, blowing in the cold wind all night.
It was a middle-aged man hiding in the corner of the tavern with his arms folded, and his thin, black face carried unhealthy, sickly dishes. He kept trembling with his eyes closed, as if he would die in the next second.
"Hey..., are you also waiting to enter the tavern to meet the big shot?" Lorraine asked in a low voice.
The black and thin middle-aged man seemed to be unable to carry it anymore, slightly opened his eyes and closed weakly.
Lorraine took out the leftover half of the dough from last night from his clothes, "Here, eat it."
food? The black and thin middle-aged man was almost hungry. He stretched out his shriveled palm to grab the half of the dough and stuffed it into his mouth. But he only choked for half a bit, then turned and ran towards the alley near the tavern.
Lorraine tilted her head, followed up a few steps, and saw two children huddled deep in the alley, crying hungry. She sighed inwardly, "It's great, I saved another family."
Lorraine brought home the dough last night. Naturally, it was impossible for her parents to eat all of it. Saving food has become a deep-rooted idea in their family's mind. When she went out, her father forcibly stuffed half of the dough and said, "If it doesn't work, I will come back."
"There is nothing wrong, I must do it." Lorraine waited and waited at the entrance of the tavern. After waiting for a few hours, instead of waiting for the tavern to open, he waited for a lot of people who still wanted to eat yesterday and want to continue today.
The guy who taught Lorraine to hide food also came last night, and he greeted Lorraine enthusiastically, discussing how to go in for another meal. Lorraine quietly distanced himself from him, without saying a word.
The young girl walked towards the back door of the tavern, and the black and thin middle-aged who accepted her food silently followed...
"Child, can you tell me what happened last night?" Hei Shou middle-aged asked imploringly, "I know the news is too late. I finally rushed over. The pub is closed. I asked a lot of people. It seems to be hiring people."
The black and thin middle-aged had food to give to the child first, which greatly improved Lorraine's favor with him. She nodded slightly and said, "Yes, there was a big man who gave out free food here last night. But only those who pass the test are eligible to see him."
"My child, you must have passed the test, right?" Hei Shou asked the middle-aged anxiously, "What is the test? Are there any more today?"
"I probably passed it." Lorraine probably talked about what happened last night. She saw the black and thin man showing a little regret, and suddenly realized that the other party might not be telling the truth, "Someone told me to come to the pub today. The others are not clear."
The black and thin middle-aged was even more anxious, and pleaded again: "Child, help me. I have two little guys to raise, and I can't find a job anymore. Our whole family must die."
Lorraine did not refuse face-to-face, her voice lowered, "I saw your child. But I don't know how to help you. I still don't know who is favoring me. What is his temperament, I simply can't Estimated."
The black and thin middle-aged face trembled, and he was about to kneel down and cry for Lorraine.
At this moment, a grumpy shout sounded at the entrance of the tavern, and the orc shopkeeper came out and shouted: "Go away, there is no free food today. Those who were notified last night can come in, and everyone else will get out of me. "
Lorraine's voice was weaker, "Sorry, I have to go. My fate is still uncertain."
The thin girl walked away quickly, the black and thin middle-aged girl wanted to cry without tears. Behind him, the two young children were only half full, and were weakly shouting'Dad'.
There are too many people in suffering.
