6 min read1,401 words
Alina, Lorrain Hill, and Lily walked down the street and continued to shop
around.
Since this was the former capital, there will be some shops that are not
available in small places, such as painting tools and materials shop,
porcelain shop, poetry and book shop, etc., a few people can be said to
linger, and time passes quickly.
They watched from house to house at first, but it was too time-consuming, and
then they adjusted the interesting shops to have a look. Unknowingly it was
4-5 o’clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, it’s getting dark late in this
season, so they can go shopping. meeting.
"Is this shop selling wine? It's a bit rare." Alina and Lily stood under a
sign. The red, blue and green wine bottles formed the sign, and there was a
line of "Mujinhua Winery" beside them.
Ad
"Go and see."
A few people walked in, Lily and Alina were full of interest, but Lorrain Hill
walked out after watching a circle, she was not very interested in alcohol or
anything.
"I'll wait for you outside."
"Hmm."
After speaking, she walked out, and the violent sunlight came into the field
of vision again, causing her to pull the hat on her head a little, and then
walked to the side alley, where it was not exposed to direct sunlight, and it
was cooler and more comfortable.
Now they are almost to the sea, looking from the alley to the other far exit,
they can see the faint sea water, guardrail, and blue sky.
As I didn’t want to be too eye-catching, when I went out today, Lorrain Hill
added a light coffee-colored coat on the outside. The style is similar to that
of a short robe. The coat is slightly longer than his skirt, more than the
knee, and the upper body has A hood that can be pulled up when it rains or the
sun is violent. In the case of the front body, there is no button, revealing a
part of the white skirt on the inside.
Seeing that Alina and Lily would not come out in a short time, Lorrain Hill
leaned against the wall, raised one foot, moved and relaxed a little.
"Hey."
A voice came from not far away, and the girl looked for the voice and raised
her head, and found a figure protruding from the third floor of a house in the
alley. He stretched out his hand from the window and waved to Lorrain Hill
below.
Are you calling me? The girl was a little uncertain, but there was indeed no
one else here, and Lorrain Hill walked over with a little confusion.
The person who greeted him was a young man, about 20 years old, with a round
face, and he looked blessed. When he saw the man in the hood coming over, he
took out a rolled up blanket from the window and threw it down.
"Can you pick it up for me? This one is too long and the stairs are too narrow
to move down easily." The little fat man said.
Lorrain Hill blinked, and while still thinking, the blanket had already been
thrown down, and then it fell in front of her, raising a light cloud of dust.
"Thank you, I'll be here later." Before Lorrain Hill could answer, the little
fat man closed the window and seemed to be going downstairs.
Lorraine Hill stood here, a little hesitant. She turned to look outside the
alley. There were scattered pedestrians walking across the street. Sometimes
one or two swept across the alley and saw this figure standing next to the
blanket. After paying attention, and then continue to walk past.
After a while, there was a voice of speaking not far away.
"Mrs. Gothe, I have cleaned your fireplace."
"Okay, this is your reward."
"Thank you Mrs. Gothe, you can still find me if you need it in the future."
"Then I'll go first." There was a brisk footstep.
Soon after, the figure appeared at the entrance of the alley and walked over.
"Hey, good brother." After he came in, he looked at the intact blanket and
Lorrain Hill, breathed a sigh of relief, and then approached.
When there was only 5-6 meters between the two, the little fat man could see
Lorrain Hill's face clearly.
"Ah, sorry, I didn't expect you to be a girl." He slowly stopped, rubbing his
hair a little embarrassedly.
After hesitating for a while, he took out a purse from his arms, took out a
few silver coins from it, and then handed the rest to Lorrain Hill.
"Thank you for your help, then I will go first."
Seeing that Lorrain Hill didn't pick it up, I felt a little embarrassed, then
put down the money bag, picked up the blanket on the ground, and prepared to
leave.
"Wait a minute, where are you going to move this?" Lorraine Hill finally said,
this little fat man is not the kind of yellow-faced muscle who can't live, why
do such things.
"Actually, I'm just a porter, moving it from one place to another." He turned
around and explained.
"And then collect some more money?" Lorrain Hill looked at him amusedly.
"Ahem, carrying is also a kind of physical exertion, so it shouldn't be too
much to earn some compensation for this."
"but...."
Just when Lorrain Hill still wanted to ask, Alina and Lily had already walked
out of the store. They turned the alley before seeing Lorrain Hill and walked
over.
"It turned out to be here, Lorraine." After the two walked over, they looked
at the little fat man curiously.
"Ah, there is a purse on the ground." Lily jumped and squatted down and picked
it up, and the little fat man took advantage of this to walk quickly,
preparing to leave the alley.
"Where do you want to go." Alina saw something was wrong at a glance, and then
jumped to the front of the little fat man with a slight turn, blocking the
way.
"I..... I'm just working to support my family, let me go, ladies." He looked
at such a quick Alina, knowing that the other party is not an ordinary person,
and immediately begged for mercy.
"Hey, support your family, how many people in your family do you need to
raise?" Alina shook her finger, not believing it at all.
"Really, I have an old sister who can't get married, a younger sister who is
weak and sick and can't survive, and there is a simple brother who is not
deeply involved in the world, all relying on me.
He explained with a bitter face, and then turned his head to look at Lily and
Lorrain Hill, perhaps because he thought these two would be easier to talk to.
"Don't be deceived by him. You are too immature to say this. Anyway, you have
an 80-year-old mother and a wife and daughter who are waiting to be fed at
home." Alina reminded.
"That's too fake, giggle." Lorraine Hill smiled.
"But let's return the blanket, it's someone else's thing after all."
"No, I brought this by my ability, so why should I return it."
"But this is not a proper way." Lily said after looking at the little fat man
in front of her after counting her wallet.
"What a proper way, the profiteer in this family is also smuggling, torturing,
deducting his salary, nothing is missing, and his things are not earned by
proper means~www.mtlnovel.com~ Why he is fair and honest, I am not fair , No
more." The little fat man said dissatisfied.
"Then you can sue him." Lily said simply.
"I'm just a small person, how dare I sue? Besides, even if I have real
evidence, if I sue, I won't know where to lie down the next day."
"Talk to the sheriff."
"Then you want me to die."
...
Little Fatty argued with Lily, and Alina helped her forehead watching this
scene.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Didn't you say you have to support
your family? Take us to see your home."
"What are you doing?" The little fat man took two steps back vigilantly.
"Of course it is to verify the authenticity. If it is true, we will spare you
this time." Alina said, patted her chest. As the captain's daughter, she has
an extremely flexible moral concept.
