Chapter 1230: Chapter 1224: Extra Story – Righting Wrongs_1 Chapter 1230 -1224: Extra Story – Righting Wrongs_1 Finn Lewis finally felt at ease strolling on the streets of Southern Ridge, experiencing this era’s Southern Ridge.
After all, the Southern Ridge of today cannot even be compared to the Suzhou and Hangzhou of this period, let alone to Southern Ridge in future times.
Although the streets were bustling due to the heavy presence of foreigners, there was no shortage of poor people, and with lots of laborers working arduously at the docks and other places, there was actually not much to admire on the streets of Southern Ridge during this time.
However, Finn had nothing better to do than to have Wise Lewis record everything here; such rare material it was.
What kind of movie could have such authenticity?
Moreover, Wise Lewis and his companions didn’t need to lug around a camera or anything of the sort to document it all.
They naturally had their own methods, and Finn didn’t need to worry about it.
...
After all, with a T1000 and a T800 following close behind him among the crowd, and Finn wearing the Little Wildcat Protective Suit, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that in this era, unless he courted death himself, it would be difficult for him to die.
“Sir…
Sir…” A timid voice came from behind Finn as he walked down the street.
He stopped in his tracks and immediately turned towards the source of the voice.
A little girl with messy hair tied into a small braid appeared behind Finn, holding a splendidly embroidered purse in her hand.
Upon seeing the purse, Finn recognized it immediately; it was a type of purse unique to this era.
But such a purse, purely made with embroidery, was definitely not something ordinary people could afford.
Finn was not dressed in formal attire at the moment, as that would be too conspicuous.
He had switched his Little Wildcat Protective Suit for a set of ordinary silk robes.
Since the Little Wildcat Protective Suit could adjust its temperature, Finn didn’t feel hot in it.
However, the purse in the little girl’s hand was not his; he wouldn’t carry around Silver, such heavy things, on his person—those were kept with the T1000 and T800 in the crowd.
This familiar scene, though, struck a chord of déjà vu—hadn’t little Zoe acted in the same way?
But this little girl before him couldn’t even compare to little Zoe; she was skinny as a rail, her cheeks hollowed and her face gaunt, her hair dry and yellowed, seemingly untended for a long time.
Although she had tied it into a braid, it had completely tangled into a mess.
“Sir…
your…
your purse.” When Finn turned around, the little girl was clearly terrified, stuttering as she spoke, trying to hold the purse up higher.
Finn could understand why Zoe would do such a thing because of the old man’s good teachings.
At least Zoe had enough to eat and a place to live.
But this little girl in front of him was probably not far from starving to death.
Finn didn’t know how she resisted the temptation to keep the purse for herself, but it was undoubtedly an exceedingly difficult choice.
Even for Finn, in a situation where even having enough to eat was difficult, to return a found purse to its owner might be an impossible feat.
Just as Finn was about to say that the purse was not his, an enraged voice suddenly erupted, “How dare you, you little wretch, steal from me!” Accompanied by a roar, a figure rushed over and without hesitation, kicked toward the little girl.
With a “thud,” talk was already too late.
Finn instantly positioned himself in front of the little girl, taking the kick on his thigh.
A faint force was transmitted from his leg, but the kicker immediately yelped in pain.
