C3225 Farewell to Home (2/2)
”Scram!” ”This lowly commoner has no right to ask questions, scram …”
”Audrey and her family are from our village, you can't take them away …” The angry boy opened his mouth to curse.
”Pa …” A clear gunshot rang out, silencing all the villagers who wanted to cause trouble. The white-bearded old man put down the hunting rifle in his hand and looked at the villagers who were blinded by greed. He disdainfully said, ”Those who don't want to die, retreat …”
Hualala … The gentlemen on horseback immediately changed their colors. One by one, they took off their hunting rifles with a strong killing intent and started to surround them.
This time, the Village Chief and the other elders calmed down. There were so many rifles, this was not something they could deal with. ”Who are you people?” Are you English? What are you doing in France? ”
No one was willing to answer him at all. There were only those who continued to press forward with their guns!
”We will retreat... We don't care... ”Whatever you guys want to do, we'll let them go …” At this critical moment, the villagers retreated. They could only watch as Audrey and her family loaded all the valuables onto the carriage.
”That's our eighty thousand francs!” Is he just going to fly? ”
”We will definitely take revenge. When we get back, we will report to the local officials that the British are crossing the sea and invading us …”
This group of people cursed in their hearts, but no one dared to say anything.
Audrey was holding her favorite doll, the crystal necklace around her neck, the two sapphire cuffs in her pocket.
As she walked out of the house, she saw how unfamiliar everything in front of her was. She had been familiar with her seniors and friends since she was young, but they had all become enemies. Their eyes were filled with hatred.
Everything around her was so unrealistic. Looking back at her own home, she knew that she would never be able to return from now on. This place would eventually become the sealed location in his memories.
”Let's go, child …” The yacht is waiting at sea. While there's no wind in Biscay Bay these two days, we'll leave as soon as possible... ”Believe me, London is a very prosperous city, where will you fall in love!”
Audrey and her family were taken away with all of their belongings, leaving only the villagers to beat their hearts out in rage.
The distance between the village and the coastline was actually only about two thousand meters. The cavalrymen quickly arrived at the beach, where more than forty small boats were waiting for them.
Far away in the depths of the sea, an extremely beautiful large sailing ship was quietly anchoring there. The pure white sail of the ship was like the white clouds in the sky, and that was the yacht the old man had mentioned.
How rich was he to have such a large ship in his own right? This was unbelievable.
Audrey and her family left the land of France in tears. As they boarded the boat, their mother looked at the home she had lived all her life and cried. Her father's eyes were red and swollen.
Audrey was the only one who didn't show any change in her expression. It was hard to tell whether she was numb or something. She was actually looking forward to the new world outside.
London! That is a place even more prosperous than Paris, where I am going!
When the Audrey family landed on the deck of the yacht, the three of them didn't know that a massacre was going on in their hometown.
