Chapter 259 Four People in the Small Courtyard
The three of them followed behind the little fat man, thinking of walking to the beach, turning a few corners, and they slowly walked into a low-rise building complex. The ground here is not as clean as before, it is a little messy and you can smell it. to a fishy smell.
Looking at the dried fish and nets hanging around the house, it is not difficult to guess that this should be the place where fishermen live in the city, which is relatively poor.
"The people who live here are not very wealthy, so they don't have the time to keep it clean. Ladies and gentlemen, don't follow."
"It's really average, but it's still a lot better than the slums." Alena jumped up slightly, jumped over a small beach, and said her opinion.
Unlike Letis, who was from a good and delicate background, she was quite used to this kind of environment. Lily was not used to her words, she covered her nose and looked around.
Lorraine Hill followed behind. She put a veil on her face and looked around.
Most of the houses built of khaki mud bricks have only one or two floors, and some have clothes hanging on them. Some women sit in front of the door, mending things, occasionally raising their heads to look at the pedestrians on the street.
A few people were walking on the road, and a woman in a purple dress came over. She wore a pair of copper rings on her wrists, and she also looked a little good.
"Triton, what are you doing?"
She seemed to be familiar with this little fat man, and asked casually.
"Who are these?" She turned to look at the three girls behind her.
"Wow, old lady, you've come. I went out to work today, but I didn't do a good job. I was caught by several eldest young ladies. I had no choice but to come back to you for help." The woman squeezed her eyes.
"Uh..." The woman hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said to the three of Alena.
"I'm sorry, my brother has just changed jobs recently and may not be doing well. I hope you will forgive me."
Alena didn't answer, she turned a little half circle, looked at the woman, and said, "Do you know what your brother is doing?"
"It should be...it's not an earth-shattering event." The girl's tone was a little uncertain as she looked at it.
"Do you explain it yourself, or I'll tell your sister." Alena looked at the little fat man.
The woman frowned slightly and looked at the little fat man, and asked seriously.
"Triton, have you done something bad?"
"Where, I really don't have it, Sulis."
Is this woman's name Sulis? Roland Hill looked at the scene in front of him, and then several people were taken to a small yard by the woman.
The yard is not big, but relatively clean, with only a small amount of green moss in the corners.
"Will you come in and sit down?" The woman pushed open the door, revealing the small table inside.
A few people walked in and looked at the room curiously.
Inside was an old wooden cabinet, with a table and two stools in the middle, and rows of planks nailed to the wall, with clay pots and cups on them.
"Now we can talk about what happened." The woman called Triton, the little fat man just now.
After some conversation and explanation, the woman figured out what had happened, and then taught the little fat man a lesson.
"Actually, I'm not his sister, I'm just familiar with each other." Then Su Lisi still talked about the origin of the two.
Triton used to be the doorman of a large hotel in Jubelei. The owner of this hotel was also a big business association in the city, so he lived a good life, and because of this, he was white and plump and liked.
But two years ago, the sudden change and civil strife occurred in Yubelei. Several big business associations were annexed and collapsed, and the management of the hotel was also changed. Unemployed, now I can only do chores to make money.
As for this woman, she is a third-rate actress herself, sometimes assisting in performances at the city's opera house for a small profit.
"Actually, Sister Sulis's acting is very good, but no one appreciates it and is not famous." The little fat man interrupted at this time.
"Then how did you meet?" Roland Hill was a little curious.
"I used to be a member of an opera troupe before, and I often went to the hotel with my companions, so I got to know him. But now I am no longer in the opera troupe, so life is not very good."
"Is it also because of the upheaval two years ago?"
"Forget it, the old businessman liked to watch interesting and good-looking performances, so the opera troupe had a good income, but after the group of mages came, they didn't agree with this kind of performance, so the city gradually became less popular. Now, as the opera troupe keeps laying off people, life becomes harder."
"That's because they haven't seen a real performance, but I've seen the performance of the Dusk Brigade." The little fat man said firmly, he once hosted this well-known opera performance troupe.
"Twilight Brigade." Alena raised her finger and thought about it.
"It's really famous, I heard my dad say it too."
Lily also said at this time: "My mother has seen them perform, and they are very good. It is said that they are performing on tour around the world, and their whereabouts are uncertain."
Lorraine Hill recalled her experience in Hopelander. At that time, many people compared her performance with the Twilight Brigade. This opera troupe was indeed very powerful.
"Okay, that's it, it's getting dark, we have to go."
Several people looked at the sky outside the window, remembered the previous agreement, stopped staying, and got up to say goodbye.
"Don't
Do this kind of thing again, learn some skills, and find a solid job. "Lily returned the purse, Alena and Loren Hill added some more, and then warned.
"Thank you to the eldest ladies, but I don't want this anymore." Su Lisi pushed the purse back.
"Well... don't, Miss Sulis, there is still my original money in it." Triton was a little reluctant.
"You called me sister, I must take care of you." Su Lisi glared at the little fat man and continued.
"Besides, did you say 'I have an old sister who can't marry'?"
"This..." The little fat man was speechless for a moment, looking left and right.
"Giggle..." A few people laughed for a while, then said goodbye again, left the small courtyard, went to the seaside pier, and joined another group of companions.
And not long after the few people left, an ordinary carriage drove into the small yard and stopped.
A young driver jumped out of the car, his white shirt already soaked with sweat.
"Come back, Allen." Sulis waved, then went back to the house and started cooking.
"Yeah." The young man drew a bucket of water from the well, took a few sips before slowly putting it down. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, his appearance was not bad, and he smelled of sunshine.
"Brother Allen." The door of another room in the small courtyard opened, and a little girl came out. She was wearing a blue and white dress, which looked good, but the edges were washed white and a little worn.
"Well, is little Luna obedient today?" He crouched down and stroked the little girl's head.
"Yes." The little girl nodded.
"Haha, that's good. It's a pity that you can't walk around freely now. After a few years, go out and find a good family." There was a bit of pity in his voice.
"What a good family, I think it's better to make money by yourself, live by yourself, and live a little more freely." The little fat man came over a little cursing.
"Luna is good~" He crouched down, ready to touch his head, but the little girl avoided him.
"Hello, brother Terry." Luna stuck her head out from behind Allen and looked at the little fat man.
"Luna doesn't get close to me, obviously I rescued you from the fire at that time, woohoo." Triton wiped his eyes and faked a cry.
A small hand was placed on Triton's blond hair in the bird's nest: "Brother Triton, don't cry, Luna still has candy here."
She stretched out her little hand, revealing the red round candy in it, and handed it over.
Triton immediately turned from crying to laugh, and Sulis walked out of the room after hearing it, grabbed the candy in Triton's hand, and returned it to Luna.
"You'd better think about it. How can you explain it to everyone tonight? You almost attracted the big shots. If those masters in the city knew Luna's whereabouts, they would not want us."
This child, after all, is the only living heir of the Filula Chamber of Commerce.
Looking at this well-behaved girl, Sulis couldn't help recalling the change and fire two years ago, the panicked crowd, the waving of blood and swords, and several large chambers of commerce that collapsed overnight.
