Chapter 391 Pay Me Bread...
After knowing that her reference book was expired, the little girl did not throw it away. She folded the paper and made a bookmark, and still treasured it and put it in the small cloth bag beside her. Then he took out his small round gray hat, covered his long flying hair, and turned over to lie down on the roof. His eyes were slightly squinted, as if he was falling asleep or staring blankly at the pale sky.
Needless to say, this little girl is naturally the little Carol who ran away alone. The reason why he did this was not because of rebellion or anything, but to prove his ability, well, to prove to brother Tang En.
In Little Carol's view, Brother Tang En did not take her to the front line because he was worried that he was not strong enough and would become a burden. If she could find Sister Joshua alone while Harry and the others were tracking her, it would undoubtedly be a sign of success. The strength is enough, so that I can follow brother Tang En to the front line openly. Well, that's right...
With this in mind, little Carol did not rush downstairs. Instead, after another half an hour, she got up and carefully observed her surroundings... If Harry saw this scene, he would probably be filled with emotion again. Obviously, Carol's cautious move was undoubtedly to prevent them from attacking again.
Harry's previous guess was correct. Little Carol did stay here to confirm because she was worried that they would not be able to find the hotel whose name had been changed. But she thought further and was more cautious... She was very clear about the people tracking the team. Except for Harry, the others had just joined the gray space, and their abilities were undoubtedly weaker. With these people, it was impossible to search the entire city without fail, so she chose this location.
This is the so-called conspiracy. Harry may not have suspected that little Carol is still staying in Xicheng District, but he really has nothing to do now. In this case, it is better to hurry up and go to the next place. In this way, it is very likely to arrive before little Carol and calmly deploy tracking methods...
After making sure that the surroundings were safe, little Carol put the small cloth bag on her back, picked up the curved object wrapped in cloth strips on the side, and quickly slid down the pointed roof. After reaching the edge, she jumped out like a bird with the help of strength. , accurately landed on the third floor balcony nearby, turned around, stepped on the protruding wooden rafter on the second floor of the shop, then stepped on the wall several times, and descended to the ground smoothly like water.
I turned around and looked around. This was a small road at the back door of the shop, which was deserted. He pressed the brim of his hat and walked towards the intersection.
As soon as she came out of here, little Carol's delicate nose couldn't help but twitch a few times, and then two soft sounds of "gurgling..." came from her body. She touched her belly and subconsciously looked to the right.
It was a floating food shop, with cheap yellowish long breads and cheeses that were slightly more expensive but looked more appetizing. The aroma of wheat and milk was mixed together, which can arouse appetite.
It was almost past breakfast time at this time, and no one was visiting, so the fat stall owner was packing her things and getting ready to leave.
After swallowing a few times, little Carol's face looked a little eager, and then she took a few long breaths of the fragrance, then turned around and prepared to walk away. It can be seen from the damaged and expired books that the little girl who ran away from home is not in a good financial situation now.
"Wait a minute..." Footsteps came from behind. Little Carol turned her head and was a little startled. A long loaf of bread exuding the aroma of wheat appeared in front of her eyes. "Here, take it." It was the fat woman, probably Seeing the longing look on little Carol's face just now, he caught up and put the loaf of bread into the little girl's hands, touched the little gray round hat, and said kindly: "Eat it, it's free of charge."
Looking down at the bread in her hand, she pursed her lips. Little Carol bowed and saluted, and said as crisply as a bell: "Thank you, Auntie." Then she took out a small gray bag from the cloth bag and poured out seven or eight pieces of bread. He picked up the value of the bread, which was five copper coins, and handed it over.
"Haha, how polite... eh? No, no, this is for you for free..." The kind chubby woman waved her hand quickly and said, but as soon as she saw it, the five copper coins found her palm accurately and put it down. Go in.
After bowing again to the fat woman who was in a daze, little Carol took the bread and turned and left. When the woman came back to her senses, the little gray hat was no longer in sight. She looked around, sighed in vain, and shook her head...
…
Where can I get some money? Well, it's so delicious... Little Carol, who was walking on another street, lowered her head and took a bite of the warm long bread, thinking with some distress.
In fact, when she just ran away from home, little Carol was fully prepared and had enough money. It wasn't stolen after that. Under Tang En's teachings, if any ordinary thief dared to take advantage of her, it would undoubtedly be a tragedy. But along the way, she saw many refugees who fled from the front lines with their families to the cities behind them. She always gave them some, but over time they were gone.
If it were Tang En's brother, what would he do... When encountering a problem, little Carol always tried hard to consider it from Tang En's perspective. Not to mention, it was indeed useful. Her eyes lit up and she came up with Tang En's perspective. En once said something to her when chatting with her before, when you have no money, the Thieves Guild is like a cash machine...
In all conscience, Tang En was definitely joking when he said this. He would never have imagined that this sentence would one day become a copy of little Carol's actions.
By the way, it’s the Thieves Guild! After determining the goal, little Carol started to get used to divergent thinking and supplemented her logic... It seems that she has to register with the union first, and then receive the tasks. Well, but I am not strong enough... Then I will take on some small tasks, like this It's not dangerous, and there's a bounty to be won...
Huh... Little Carol lowered her head and was lost in thought, but a figure rushed out of the roadside lane. Although Little Carol stepped back alertly, it was too late. Bang, she took a few steps back, but she didn't fall down, but her head The yarmulke on his head and the long loaf of bread in his hand flew out and landed on the ground beside him.
"Your mother..." The figure that rushed out was a fierce man. Because of Carol's timely release of strength, he stepped on the air, staggered a few steps, stepped on the bread, almost fell, and couldn't help but cursed. Immediately, more than a dozen big men rushed out from behind him, and some of them stepped on the flat bread, leaving black dirty shoe prints.
"Damn it, are you fucking blind..."
"You were the one who rushed out first... And please pay me for the bread." Little Carol glanced at the bread that she had only eaten a few bites of, pursed her lips, and said in a cold voice, her cold and pretty face even more frosty.
"Huh?" The big man turned around and couldn't help but be startled. Then he showed an incredibly funny look. He clapped his fingers and was about to come over: "Oh, let me go. Do you want to die..." A companion next to him grabbed him. , said anxiously, "Okay, he's just a child... hurry up, you'll delay the boss's affairs, and you'll have to deal with it again."
This sentence was very effective. After hearing this, the big man paused and then glared fiercely: "Mom, you are lucky today, don't let me see you again..." In the sound of the words, the big man was touched by his companion. The person was pushed into the alley on the other side of the road and disappeared quickly.
Ignoring these harsh words, little Carol took a few steps to pick up the small gray round hat, patted it, and put it into a small cloth bag. Then he looked at the flattened black bread on the other side. He paused for a moment, frowned, puffed out his mouth, and then entered the alleyway carrying the curved thing rolled up with a strip of cloth...
The planning of small cities is mostly messy, with numerous lanes and interconnected lanes. If you are not a familiar local, there is actually not much difference between entering and entering the maze.
However, the dozen or so big men didn't have this problem. They seemed to have something important to do. After entering, they still ran as fast as they could, stopping and turning from time to time. They were very familiar with it.
After running like this for about ten minutes, the surrounding houses became more and more dilapidated. After turning again, these big men slowed down and walked normally. Then they lifted their steps in a rather obscene manner, as if they were stepping on ice, for fear of disturbing anything.
When we arrived here, the atmosphere was obviously different. These big men had solemn faces. They reached out and took out a sharp machete from their arms and slowly advanced along the side of the wall. The handle of each machete was wrapped in red cloth, and it felt like hands full of blood when held. This unique costume is basically recognized by the civilians in the small town, and they avoid it because it is the symbol of the Blood Knife Club, a large gang in the city.
Finally, at the entrance of the road and alley, these people stopped, and the big man in front of him poked his head slightly... Outside was an irregular circular slum area, which seemed to be in decline. Basically, no intact houses could be seen, and no sound could be heard. It's very quiet and desolate when you hear the human voice. On the outskirts of this slum area, there are several alleyway entrances similar to where these big men are. Although the place is peaceful on the surface, judging from the figures peeking out from various alleys from time to time, it is obvious that it is surrounded and a war is about to break out.
Not long after, dozens of strong men holding knives surrounded a middle-aged man wearing a green cloak with an ugly face. He walked out of the alley without going deep and stopped about ten meters outside the slum area.
After squinting his eyes and looking around, he nodded with satisfaction. The middle-aged man exhaled and said, "Stop hiding. I know you are here. Come out."
"Haha, are you here to find me? You can't even see such a big man sitting here, and his eyes are not good..." A rather joking voice came, and the middle-aged man's face changed, and he suddenly turned his head. On the roof of an abandoned second-floor house, a young man with a playful smile was waving to this side. His other hand seemed to be holding something like a piece of cheese. He took a bite while speaking, "Well, it tastes really good... Oh, isn’t this Babri, the leader of the Blood Knife Club? You and I just parted ways the day before yesterday. Could it be that I have business to take care of my brother and me again today?”
"Stop talking nonsense!" The middle-aged man said in a cold voice with a sullen face, "You are so brave. You dare to exchange my Babri's things. You are so tired! Hand over the things now. I will forget the blame and spare you a life." Life, otherwise this will be your burial place!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of big men with evil looks and red-handled machetes came out of alleys in all directions.
"Wow... I'm so scared..." The young man looked around and looked trembling, but then he stood up, put his hands on his hips and shouted, "I don't want to go out and ask around. You ah?" Uncle Se travels all over the country, what kind of battles have he not seen! Bullying me as a foreigner and playing tricks with me? Hey, you are still young! Uncle, I will pile up my words here today, pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, otherwise you Don’t ever think about seeing that thing again in your life.”
"Yes, I think you really want to die!"
"Haha, that's easy to say. Come and bite me if you don't accept it. Even if you bite me to death, you won't be able to find that thing..."
…
The two sides here are constantly talking harsh words, and the strong men around are watching and exerting pressure. No one saw a little girl walking out of the alley with a walking bag hanging sideways. She took a look at the dozen strong men in front of her and suddenly did not notice the tense situation here. Holding the curved thing in her hand, she walked around to a In front of the big man.
He raised his head and stretched out his hand, his frosty little face was calm and serious: "You, pay for my bread..."
