Chapter 3089 Wisdom
The cargo-carrying merchant ship arrived at the southern continent on the third day.
After getting off the ship and walking across the pier, there was a huge open space. The open space was filled with goods to be moved and people who wanted to board the ship.
Compared with this group of people and goods, our team of several hundred people turned out to be just a small branch of this huge flow of people.
No wonder Heloise wasn't worried about being discovered. As long as she did her internal work well, this method of fishing in troubled waters was the best concealment method.
Speaking of which, Heloise was still angry with me because of what happened two days ago. She always felt that I was lying to her and treating her like a fool.
This woman's spirit is so small, just like her mind.
Passing through the crowd is a straight avenue. According to Heloise's men, this straight avenue leads directly to the first town in the southern continent.
After walking for more than an hour, a rather exquisite-looking town appeared in front of us.
It's just that we are still some distance away from the town, so we can't see it very clearly, but the general size and shape of the town can still be seen very clearly.
After resting for a while, I took out the pancake and sandwiched the already cold roast beef, and gave it to the Blue Witch, who ate it happily.
After eating six burritos in a row, she clapped her hands with satisfaction, took the water bottle, took a few big gulps, and burped with satisfaction. Then she reached out and took out two pancakes from my backpack and tore them into pieces. Feed Tuo Tuo.
Although Tuotuo was eating the noodles impatiently, his little eyes were always looking at my backpack, and he showed an even more impatient attitude.
I know, it's hungry for beef.
But I can't feed it.
It’s not because I’m stingy or I’m mistreating it, but it’s just that it ate a large bowl of seafood yesterday and then became thin and almost lost its life. This is just right, and the gastrointestinal tract is still fragile. If there is gruel, I don’t even want to feed it cakes, but for these reasons, even if I say Tuotuo understands, it still can’t bear the desire for meat that is engraved in the bones of dogs.
Heloise and the others were also having breakfast, eating the dry food they brought - brown bread, mayonnaise, and butter. In short, it was a lot of high-calorie food, which was suitable for long-distance expeditions, but not delicious.
When we were eating burritos, Heloise looked very greedy, Xilan was even more greedy, and even wanted to ask me for it a few times. I could tell, but since they didn't ask, I just pretended that I didn't know. Anyway, the number of burritos is limited, so you can't give it to "unrelated people" and make your own family suffer.
Normally, even if Xilan couldn't pull off that old face, Heloise would come over and ask for the burrito without any bottom line. If that didn't work, she might even rob me.
But isn't this still a conflict? As a girl, it's hard for her to come up to me and admit her mistakes. Even if it's really not me who's wrong, she will never admit it.
So when Baba saw Heloise filling her mouth with water after I finished the burrito, she tightly balled up the brown bread and threw it at me while no one was paying attention.
I turned my head, and the bread balls flew out and scattered all over the floor with a splat. Soon several stray dogs were gathered, fighting for each other. It was quite lively.
Tuo Tuo raised his head, glanced at the stray wild dogs that were constantly fighting for each other, and snorted disdainfully.
It never disdains to be compared with these stray dogs, because it has an owner, and it will definitely go down in history as the hunting dog Tuo Tuo!
When Heloise saw that she had failed to throw the bread ball, she immediately gritted her teeth with hatred.
Seeing this, Xi Lan felt deeply uncomfortable, so he came over and asked me for a burrito in a low voice.
I didn't embarrass him, rolled up two sheets and handed them to him.
Xi Lan nodded in thanks and turned back to share the food with Heloise. After eating, the two of them felt that it tasted good.
Heloise made subtle insinuations and encouraged Xi Lan to ask for burritos again.
Although Xi Lan was thick-skinned, it was okay for him to do this thing once every other day. If he kept spinning, he would be embarrassed, so he coughed twice, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Heloise was so angry that she didn't have enough to eat, and she didn't want to eat black bread, mayonnaise, or butter. After hesitating for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth, came to me, and said with a stiff face, "Cake."
"Huh?" I asked knowingly.
"I said...cake," she gritted her teeth and said, "Give me the burrito."
"Hey, you told me earlier." I rolled four pancakes with a smile and handed them to her.
After taking the burrito, Heloise left without looking back, but looking at her, she seemed to be in a good mood.
After resting, we continued on our way.
During this period, the Blue Witch was a little unhappy. After all, being on the road all the time was not her strong point. If possible, she would prefer to take a car.
So I tried to talk to Heloise about renting some cars.
Heloise rolled her eyes: "It's easy to rent a car, but what about the goods? Also, have you seen any businessman who would stack so many goods on a truck and transport them? Don't you think you're going to lose money?"
Huh?
What Heloise said makes sense.
The biggest thing in the eyes of businessmen is profit, and they are willing to endure some hardships. If they hire a car, they will most likely be suspected. After all, hiring a car is not cheap, and there are so many goods and so many people coming.
When I thought about it, I understood the meticulousness of Heloise's work.
If that's the case, then I won't take the ride.
Going back, I explained everything to the Blue Witch. The Blue Witch was a little unhappy and wanted to rent a car with me to rest alone. However, this was a collective action. Once there were individual actions, it would seriously affect morale and unity, so I had to Good words and advice.
Fortunately, the Blue Witch is not an unreasonable person, and it is just because she is not used to losing her temper. Once the temper has passed, she will naturally calm down.
After nearly an hour of walking, we finally arrived at the town. When we entered the gate, we showed our voucher and stuffed a few copper coins into the gatekeeper's hands.
Even though it was only a few copper coins, it was a huge tip, so the soldier happily let us go.
After entering the city, we were careful along the way, trying to avoid fighting, and finally delivered the goods to the Oath Keeper branch in this town.
The head of the branch went out to greet us personally, and after the introduction, he warmly welcomed us into the office.
This leader is also quite good at being a good person. Even though he knows that Heloise is a child abandoned by the family, he still behaves enthusiastically and respectfully without any adulteration, which is extremely rare.
But if you think about it carefully, you can figure out the key. Although Heloise is not valued by the family, she has not been expelled from the family and still has the right to inherit.
Who can guarantee that the top spot in the Oath Keepers organization will not be hers in the future?
Therefore, if you can build a good relationship as much as possible, keep your head down, say soft words, and don't make the other person dislike you, then everything will be fine.
This is wisdom, mortal wisdom, and practical wisdom.
