Aliena, Lorraine Hill, and Lily walked on the street and continued to browse various stores.
Since this was the former capital, there would be some shops that were not found in small places, such as painting supplies stores, porcelain shops, poetry and book shops, etc. It can be said that a few people lingered here and the time passed quickly.
They first looked around from house to house, but it was too time-consuming. Then they went to look at interesting shops, and before they knew it, it was 4-5 o'clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, it got dark late in this season, so they could still go shopping.
meeting.
"Is this a wine shop? It's a bit rare." Aliena and Lily stood under a signboard. Red, blue and green wine bottles formed the logo, and next to it there was a line of words 'Althea Winery'.
"Go and have a look."
Several people walked in. Lily and Alena were full of interest, but Lorraine Hill walked out after looking around. She was not very interested in alcohol or anything else.
"I'll wait for you outside."
"Uh-huh."
After saying that, she walked out, and the strong sunlight came into view again. She pulled the hat on her head slightly, and then walked to the side alley, which was not exposed to direct sunlight and was cooler and more comfortable.
Now they are almost at the beach. Looking from the alley to the far exit on the other side, they can see the vague sea water, guardrail, and blue sky.
Because he didn't want to attract too much attention, when he went out today, Lorraine Hill added a light brown coat on top. The style was similar to a short robe. The coat was slightly longer than his skirt, a little more than his knees, and his upper body had
A hood that can be pulled up when it rains or the sun is strong. The front part has no buttons, revealing part of the white skirt on the inside.
Seeing that Aliena and Lily were not coming out for a short time, Lorraine Hill leaned against the wall, raised one foot, and moved and relaxed a little.
"Hey."
A voice came from not far away. Looking for the voice, the girl raised her head and found a figure leaning out from the third floor of a house in the alley. He stretched out his hand from the window and waved to Lorraine Hill below.
Are you calling me? The girl was a little unsure, but there was indeed no one else here, so Lorraine Hill walked over with a little doubt.
The person who greeted him was a young man, about 20 years old, with a round face and a fat look. After he saw the hooded man approaching, he took out a rolled blanket from the window.
, and then threw it down.
"Can you pick it up for me? It's too long and the stairs are too narrow. It's inconvenient to carry it down." said the fat man.
Lorraine Hill blinked, and while she was still thinking, the blanket had been thrown down, and then fell in front of her, kicking up a slight dust.
"Thank you, I'll come over in a minute." Before Lorraine 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 her head and looked outside the alley. Scattered pedestrians were walking through the street. Occasionally, one or two people glanced at the entrance of the alley. When they saw the figure standing next to the blanket, they were not too surprised.
I paid too much attention and continued walking past.
After a while, a voice came from not far away.
"Mrs. Gold, I have already cleaned your fireplace."
"Okay, here's your reward."
"Thank you, Mrs. God. You can come to me if you need anything in the future."
"Then I'll leave first." This was followed by a burst of brisk footsteps.
Not long 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 Lorraine Hill, breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked closer.
Only when there was only 5-6 meters between the two of them did the little fat man see Lorraine Hill's face clearly.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be a girl." He stopped slowly and rubbed his hair in embarrassment.
After hesitating for a while, he took out a money bag from his arms, took out a few silver coins, and then handed the rest to Lorraine Hill.
"Thank you for your help, I'll leave first."
Seeing that Lorraine Hill didn't answer, I felt a little embarrassed, so I put down my 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 guy doesn't look like he can't live with his yellow face and muscles, so why would he do such a thing.
"Actually, I'm just a mover, just moving it from one place to another." He turned around and explained.
"And then charge some money?" Lorraine Hill looked at his excuse in a funny way.
"Ahem, carrying is also a kind of physical exertion, so it shouldn't be too much to earn some compensation for it."
"but...."
Just when Lorraine Hill was still about to ask, Aliena and Lily had already walked out of the store. Without seeing Lorraine Hill, they turned around the alley and walked over.
"So it's here, Luo Lan." After the two people walked over, they looked at the little fat man in front of them curiously.
"Ah, there is a money bag on the ground." Lily jumped down, squatted down, and picked it up. The little fat man also took advantage of this and walked quickly, preparing to leave the alley.
"Where do you want to go?" Alena saw something was wrong at a glance, and with a slight turn, she jumped in front of the little fat man and blocked the way.
"I...I'm just working to support my family, ladies, just let me go." He looked at Alena who was so fast and knew that she was not an ordinary person, so he immediately begged for mercy.
"Hey, how many people in your family need you to support your family?" Alena waved her fingers, not believing it at all.
"Really, I have an old sister who can't get married, a little sister who is weak and sick and can't survive, and a simple brother who is new to the world. They are all supported by me."
He explained with a bitter face, and then turned his head to look at Lily and Lorraine Hill, perhaps thinking that these two would be easier to talk to.
"Don't be deceived by him. Your words are too immature. After all, you say that you have an eighty-year-old mother and a wife and daughter who are waiting for food at home." Alena reminded.
"That's too fake, haha." Lorraine Hill laughed.
"But you'd better return the blanket. After all, it belongs to someone else."
"No, I got this based on my ability, why should I give it back?"
"But this is not a legitimate way." After counting her wallet, Lily looked at the fat man in front of her and said.
"There is no legitimate way. The profiteer in this family is also smuggling, mistreating, and deducting wages. He has not missed anything. His things are not earned through legitimate means. How can he be aboveboard, and I am not legitimate? I can't do it anymore."
The fat man said dissatisfied.
"Then you can sue him." Lily said simply.
"I'm just a nobody, how dare I file a lawsuit? Besides, even if I have solid evidence, if I file a lawsuit, I won't know where I'll be lying down in a small corner the next day."
"You tell the Sheriff."
"Then you want me to die."
...
The little fat man and Lily argued, and Alena looked at this scene and raised her forehead.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Didn't you say you still want to support your family? Take us to see your home."
"What are you going to do?" The little fat man took two steps back warily.
"Of course it's to verify the authenticity. If it's true, we will spare you this time." Alena said, patting her chest. As the captain's daughter, she has extremely flexible moral concepts.
