Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage 136 The dirty girl and the sick mother

"I apologize for that. I didn't see you "Liu Yang looked at the person he accidentally dropped, he was a boy of about fourteen or fifteen.

His clothes were completely dirty and smelly, the young man had mud marks all over his face.

"Uncle, you dropped me" Unlike the clothes, the voice was very feminine.

"I apologize for that" Liu Yang spoke awkwardly. He has never seen a girl dress like a boy before, not this way.

But suddenly, Liu Yang's eyes lit up, he noticed something in the girl's body. Something that few can notice.

"Sir, is there a problem?" A group of guards appeared, they grabbed the girl as if she were a criminal and rendered her on the floor.

"Let go of me !!. I didn't do anything "The girl started to scream. The others who passed through the streets did not even look at the situation, as it was very common for this type of thing to happen.

"Stop lying, people like you are stealing from others here in the city" The guard was already used to doing this, he didn't care about that.

"I did nothing!!!"

"Wait. You can let her go "Liu Yang intervened.

"Sir, you don't have to feel sorry for that kind of person, they are just scum"

"Don't worry about it, just drop her"

"Yes, sir. Little thief, you're lucky this time, but if I catch you again. You won't get away that easy. "The group of guards left immediately.

"Uncle, thanks for helping me" The girl thanked Liu Yang with a smile on her face, in contrast to her dirty face, her smile was beautiful. She realized that the person in front of her was different from the others.

"Why do they call you a thief?"

"Uncle, can we talk in a private location? This is not a good place to talk about this topic "The girl saw the looks around and tensed.

The people around were surprised by Liu Yang's attitude, none of them imagined that he would help the girl.

"Come on" Liu Yang took the girl to a restaurant in town. The two were sitting at a table away from the others.

"Uncle, you are different from the others. You must not be from that region. "The girl's eyes were shining when she saw the dishes on the table.

"Why you say that?" Liu Yang started to eat.

"Because the uncle helped me and is giving me food. The people here don't do that, the people who help others, they are buried in this desert "

"I see ... Is there no good person in the city?"

"No, they only think about money and power. Many of them even betray their own companions for wealth "

"The Law of Survival"

"Yes. Life in this desert is that way. Uncle, why did you come here? You don't seem to be someone who lives in the desert "

"I'm just traveling. I am a traveler "

"Uncle, you must be very strong to do that kind of thing. Only strong people can be free like you "The girl had bright eyes when she spoke those words. She also wanted to be strong and to be free.

"Girl, do you want to be a mage too?" Liu Yang saw that the girl had the desire to leave this city.

"I would like to be one like my mother, but it is not possible. I am over ten years old and have not awakened my powers. "

"I see ..." Liu Yang's eyes lit up when he heard those words.

(It looks like she hasn't figured out her problem yet) Liu Yang had already seen through the girl when they met. Someone with her innate talent shouldn't be a normal person.

"Uncle, I know it's a lot to ask, but can you help my mom? I promise to pay back "The girl spoke in an anxious tone. This would be the last time she sought help from someone to help her.

"Girl, why do you think I will help you? You must have asked other people and you were disappointed, right? " Liu Yang saw that the girl was desperate. Anxiety and despair were in her eyes.

"Uncle, I will be sincere. I have already asked some people for help, but they always said that they cannot help me because I have nothing to offer them. Even my body is not worth the effort for them. "

"Girl, I'm going to ask you one more time. Why do you think I will help you? An someone you just met?"

"Uncle… I know that Uncle has no reason to help me or anything. But I beg your uncle. You are the first good person I met in the city. I know it is asking a lot to help me with something that not even you know if you can help or not. "

"Girl, what kind of problem do you have to be that desperate?"

"Uncle, it's my mom. She's dying "The girl started to cry when she talked about it.

"Girl, don't cry. I can't guarantee that I can help you, but I can take a look to see your mother's situation. "

"Uncle, are you serious ??"

"Yes. Stop crying. Eat first "

"Yes," The girl devoured the food quickly before pulling Liu Yang over to her house. The spies followed closely to see Liu Yang's actions.

…

The place where the girl lives were located in the poorest neighborhood of the city, the place was completely abandoned and smelly. Bruised and injured people left on the streets, many of them were already dead and rotting. This place looked like hell.

(It seems that the situation in other countries is very different) Liu Yang compared the city where he was currently with the city he lives in China. The difference between the two sides was like heaven and earth.

The girl's house was a small wooden hut in one of the neighborhood's alleys, the house was simple and had nothing but a room. There were only a bed and a few pots in the place.

Lying on the bed was a thin, dry woman with long brown hair, her bones can be seen through the skin, she was very thin.

"Mom, I'm back" The young woman looked at the woman lying with watery eyes. She was very sad to see this scene.

"Girl, she is your mother?"

"Yes. She has been in this state for a long time. " The girl took the woman's hand and prayed.

(This is strange. If this woman has been like this for a long time. How come this girl has no problem? She looks very healthy. She must be some kind of secret, but that's not in my interest) Liu Yang didn't have his magical powers, so he can't verify things.

"Girl, do you have water here?"

"Yes. Just that little bottle. "The girl took a bottle from the corner of the room. The bottle was the size of a small soda bottle.

"Give me that bottle"

Liu Yang took the bottle and took a small green leaf from his pocket. He wrapped the sheet in a cloth and kneaded it until everything was crushed.

The cloth was placed inside a bottle like a tea sack. The water in the bottle slowly started to turn green.

"Uncle, will this help my mom?" The girl did not know what the leaf was and its effects.

"This will help your mother to recover her strength. But this is only momentary, the poison inside her body is still killing her slowly "

"Poison?? Is my mother poisoned ??? !!! How is this possible???" The girl was alarmed when she heard Liu Yang's words. She didn't know that.

Liu Yang did not answer the girl's questions, he poured the liquid into the woman's mouth and massaged her throat and chest, this for the liquid to descend.

In less than a second, something surprising happened.

Coff ... Coff ... Coff ...

The woman split black blood, her body was no longer thin and put on some weight. Its true beauty was shown, at least part of it.

Contrary to the aura of death before, the woman began to exude a mature and charming aura, her body recovered part of its beauty. Her lashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Mia ..." The woman murmured, she was looking at the familiar ceiling, but she couldn't see her daughter.

"Mother!!!! Are you awake???!!! Uncle, you helped my mom !! " Tears began to flow from the girl's eyes. She was very happy to see her mother wake up, mainly because of her recovery weight and body from before.

"Mia ... Are you okay ??" The woman was too tired to get up, she could only lie on the bed. She hugged her daughter, who had a tearful face on her chest.

"Yes. Mom, I'm fine. The uncle helped you "

"Uncle?" The woman had a dubious face, but when she looked to the side and saw a person dressed in the black cloak, she was startled. She didn't know who Liu Yang was.

"Mia, who is he?"

"Mom, he's the uncle. I found him on the street while I was walking around the city. He saved me from the guards and gave me food, now, he saved mom "

"I see ... I appreciate your help, but ... I have nothing to pay back if my body weren't like that ..." The woman sighed. She knew that the favor she just received was very valuable, she had no way to pay.

"Mom, I asked the uncle to do this. I will pay him "Mia said frighteningly, she did not want her mother to use energy after waking up.

"Silly girl, you don't have to do this. You living a good life is the only thing I hope you do. You shouldn't do such a thing "The woman spoke in a discouraged manner. She knew what her daughter meant by payment.

In this desert, a woman with nothing to say about payment, the only thing she can use as a form of payment was her body.

But Mia was too young to do that. Unless the other side was someone with that kind of interest, younger girls.

"Girl, you don't have to pay me. Also, you are too young for that. If you were at least eighteen, we could even talk. But as this is not the case, you can forget about it "

"Uncle!!! Won't you heal my mom ?? " The girl was desperate when she heard Liu Yang's words.

"Sir, could you get my daughter out of this city?" The woman thought for a while before asking.
