The green light is counting down and disappears after a few seconds.

The driver is probably in a hurry. He figured that if he didn't accelerate, he should be able to pass successfully before the change, so he wouldn't have to stop and start again.

Six seconds, five seconds...... Very good, just able to catch up, the driver is in a good mood.

Three seconds later, the driver's eyes widened, and then the ball of his foot slammed on the brakes - a woman pushed a stroller and walked out.

There was no way she could pass, there were only two or three seconds left...... Is this woman an idiot? She's still on the phone! Such a careless mother!

Because of the speed of the car, the car could not brake, and the driver's eyes widened in despair - however, when he crossed the sidewalk, he didn't seem to feel that he had hit something.

The sedan finally stopped at the crossroads, and the driver hurriedly got out of the car to look back.

It was the careless mother who was on the phone, who was being grabbed by the arm by a young girl who had saved her.

"How did you walk!!" the driver roared up, and he felt that he would have to scold a few words before he could suppress the shock.

......

"I'm so grateful to you, God is grateful to you. Oh my God......" The woman thanked Caroline excitedly in front of her.

She held the child in the stroller and kept kissing the child on the forehead, "Oh...... I'm sorry, baby, Mommy won't call when crossing the street in the future. Will you forgive me? Oh...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Caroline watched quietly.

Why would she reach out and pull this woman, she was still thinking about this question.

Why did she see this scene in advance, and she also deliberately began to panic at this question.

She has realized something...... Something special seems to have happened to me.

"Miss, please be sure to give me your name and contact information. The woman was very grateful: "Please let me repay you well, or I don't know how to forgive myself for my carelessness." ”

Caroline opened her mouth, then thought for a moment and said, "That'...... Can you treat me to a breakfast? To be honest, I haven't had breakfast today. ”

"Of course, I'm so happy!"

She grabbed Caroline's hand and hurriedly said, "Whatever you want to eat, there's no problem." ”

The feeling of being appreciated...... So it was,

There will be times when people like me do this...... Be grateful.

Caroline smiled self-deprecatingly. The smile looked a little strange to the child's mother, who couldn't help but look at Caroline suspiciously, who only then noticed that Caroline had a clear bruise on her neck, as if she had been pinched out.

And Caroline's eyeballs were even more bloody, as if she was wearing special contact lenses.

"You...... Are you alright?" asked the child's mother subconsciously.

Caroline shook her head, maybe she could think of a reason to deal with the past casually — for example, she was abused by her boyfriend, then escaped, and now she is penniless or something like that - maybe the child's mother would be more willing to help her a little.

If she could get a little cash, she could even get out of the place for a while with some pheasant carts.

"I actually ......" Caroline moved her lips, and was about to say a makeshift statement, but she swallowed it back abruptly, and then changed her words: "I'm sorry, I can't eat breakfast, I'm in a bit of a hurry......"

With that, she ignored the child's mother's call and hurriedly ran into the crowd.

During rush hour, the streets were bustling and Caroline quickly disappeared from the mother's sight.

The reason why Caroline ran away in a hurry was that she saw Arnold, who seemed to be Arnold...... Rush by.

......

......

The man shrank a little and stopped in front of a mobile breakfast car, "Give me a cup of coffee." ”

The salesman in the car took a look, and the man who bought the coffee had obvious bruises on his face, which should have been in a fight with someone, and there were wounds on his cheeks, probably because he had scratched his skin during the fight.

The salesman didn't care.

This place doesn't meet too many people who are injured in fights, "Sir, your coffee." Thanks two reais. ”

He pulled out a pile of loose coins from his pocket, picked out two, placed them on the table, and left with his coffee—but he felt a sudden tap on his shoulder.

He turned around in confusion, his gaze shrinking.

"Arnold, you're alright! it's really you!, great!" Caroline grabbed the man's arm, perhaps because of her pleasure, Caroline grabbed it very hard.

Caroline looked at the scars on the man's face, "How did you get away from Boston, and did they do anything to you?"

She looked at the scars on Arnold's face, and she didn't know how many times he had been beaten after she left, and she felt a little sorry in her heart.

Man...... Arnold was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "I escaped quietly while they were asleep." What about you...... Are you alright?"

Caroline shook her head: "After they caught me out, I found an opportunity and escaped. But I don't think they'll let me go so easily. ”

Arnold nodded and said, "Yes, Boston is ruthless, and he will definitely not let you go so easily...... Have you figured out what to do next?"

Caroline exclaimed, "I don't know, maybe I want to get out of here...... I'm still figuring it out. What about you? You've finally escaped, what are you going to do now?"

Arnold shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it either. But...... I should be able to find a place to hide for a while. Otherwise, come with me. ”

Caroline frowned and subconsciously asked, "Where is it?"

"College, we can go to college and hide. Arnold said quickly: "The dormitory of the university, I can stay with my classmates for a few days!"

"College ......" Caroline hesitated.

Arnold said quickly: "There are a lot of people there, and there are school guards, even if it is Boston, he doesn't dare to mess around!"

Caroline thought about it, then nodded and agreed, "It's okay." ”

......

......

Passing through the rows of luxurious villas, Song Haoran introduced Luo Qiu to the background of the people who lived here, "...... Basically, all are descendants of the Spanish aristocracy. Since the middle of the 16th century, it has been a Spanish colony. This went on for a long time. In fact, Cartagena also had a time of decline, only in the last century, when it flourished again because of shipping. ”

Luo Qiu listened quietly.

"Humble House?"

The car finally stopped in front of a building with towering walls on all sides, and Luo Qiu looked at the plaque hanging in front of the door.

Song Haoran smiled: "This is written by my father, do you know why it's called a cold house?"

Luo Qiu shook his head.

Song Haoran said: "At first, this was where we lived, and in recent years, my father has moved to another place. First, the environment there is better and more suitable for living. Second, you can avoid some unnecessary interruptions. I've lived in this humble house for 10 years. Dad said, when our Song family first started, there was actually nothing, the ancestor was an honest Bala peasant, only one tiled house, the family was surrounded by walls, and when winter came, the cold wind could not even be blocked. ”

"Have you been?"

Song Haoran shook his head and said: "I have returned to China several times, and once I followed my father to find his hometown, but it has been unrecognizable, and what I can find is a piece of barren grassland." ”

"That's why we have a humble house. Luo Qiu nodded.

"That's why we have a humble house. Song Haoran smiled and led this Luo Qiu all the way in.

By the time they passed through the hallway named 'Dragon Hall', Oni and Lluvia had already stopped. The two of them did not go any further, but a servant came out to greet them in the humble house, and they were all familiar faces.

Luo Qiu saw the housekeeper of the humble house named 'Fifth Uncle', a middle-aged man with gray hair, his expression and movements were very rigorous, and his meticulous attitude seemed to have a faint British style.

The fifth uncle asked Luo Qiu, and then after glancing at Luo Qiu's face, his expression was a little moved, but he didn't say anything, just became more respectful.

Song Haoran said that the fifth uncle had entered a school that specialized in cultivating housekeepers.

"Fifth uncle, this Mr. Luo is a distinguished guest of the Humble House, you can greet him first. Song Haoran looked at Luo Qiu again at this time and said, "You wait for me, someone will greet you, if you need anything, just tell the fifth uncle directly." ”

Luo Qiu didn't ask Song Haoran why he left.

The humble house is completely built according to the alleys of the old capital, and the side hall where Luo Qiu is located at this time is also antique, and the fifth uncle is standing in front of Luo Qiu very respectfully - even if he is standing, it is just the right position, "Distinguished guests come to the door, I don't know what you want to drink?"

"Give me a glass of water. Luo Qiu replied equally politely.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please wait. ”

The fifth uncle nodded, without any dissatisfaction, nor any superfluous words, turned around and walked out. There was a sudden silence in the side hall—for Luo Qiu was the only one left here.

He casually picked up a book on the shelf next to him and read it, it was the "History of the Ming Dynasty" in the twenty-four histories.

Footsteps.

"How can you only use water to entertain distinguished guests?" the woman's voice.

Luo Qiu closed the book and turned around, but saw a woman with a pink head, her hair coiled up, and a cheongsam walking in slowly with a tea tray in both hands, and the pear vortex smiled lightly.

The cheongsam woman put down the tea tray and chuckled: "Junshan Silver Needle, also known as 'gold inlaid jade'. According to legend, its first seed was planted by Empress E and Nuying, and has been passed down since ancient times......"

The cheongsam woman began to take out the stove to live, boil water, wash tea, and move gently, like a girl picking tea in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, she said lightly, "One day, when the second emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty went to court, the courtiers held a cup of tea for him. As soon as the hot water was poured into the cup, I saw a white mist rising into the air, and a white crane suddenly flew out of the white mist. The white crane nodded three times to Emperor Mingzong and flew towards the blue sky. The emperor asked why, and the courtiers below replied: This is because of the water from the Liuyi Well in Junshan Mountain, soaked in yellow feathers. And Huang Lingmao is what we often call Junshan Silver Needle. Since then, Junshan Silver Needle has also become a tribute tea specially paid tribute to the emperor. ”

The tea bowl was used, with the aroma, and the cheongsam woman put the tea bowl with both hands, and then said softly: "Smell the fragrance." ”

Luo Qiu took the tea bowl sent by the cheongsam woman, opened it and looked at it, then shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't understand much. ”

The boss was telling the truth - the maid lady had never brewed kung fu tea. Because Boss Luo felt that the black tea and flower tea made by Miss Maid were already excellent, there was no requirement in this regard.

When the cheongsam woman heard this, she was stunned.

Boss Luo took a sip directly, and then said, "It tastes good, where can I buy it?"

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, this is the highest price of tea sold at the tea ceremony in Huaguo Tea Country five years ago, and you can't buy it outside. The cheongsam woman smiled slightly, "Because it's a distinguished guest, that's why I will take it out to greet you." ”

"Thank you. Luo Qiu nodded.

The cheongsam woman suddenly said: "The humble house greets guests, and they use services comparable to those of the top hotels. But over the years, here in the Humble House, those who can be called VIPs have only appeared six times in total, including you. Do you know who the five VIPs in front of you are?"

"Nature is a friend of the owner here. Boss Luo thought for a while.

"There have been presidents of this country, there have been important tycoons in the Chinese circle, and there have been tycoons who monopolized the arms business on a continent, they are all figures who can make an uproar in the outside world by stomping their feet...... So, who are you, the sixth guest?"

So Boss Luo said very directly: "I recently took over a small shop, and I usually sell things that others need." ”

The cheongsam woman raised her face slightly, "What do you mean by something that others need?"

Boss Luo said: "That is to say, sell a little bit of everything." ”

"Do you have a business card?" she asked.

Boss Luo shook his head and said apologetically, "There is no business card." However, there is a kind of certificate for guests, but I don't plan to give it to you for the time being, because Miss you seem to be in good condition at the moment, and you don't lack anything, so I'm sorry. ”

"Really? That's a shame. The cheongsam woman smiled slightly, and then said indifferently: "Then, please sit down, VIP, I'm out." ”

And so she flew away.

Boss Luo smiled, sat down, and then picked up the tea bowl in his hand and looked at it, after which the boss looked at the little Junshan silver needle that had not been used up.

He wiped his hand over the utensils, and a vessel full of tea leaves appeared on the saucer, "Well, I should be able to drink it for a long time." ”

Boss Luo smiled, and after snapping his fingers, the vessel filled with tea disappeared - on the open club cabinet on the staircase, there was also an extra glassware.

"Has anyone been here already?"

The fifth uncle came in with a glass of water on his plate at this time, looked at a set of utensils next to Luo Qiu suspiciously, and frowned, he recognized the things in it, and he already had some guesses in his heart.

"Nothing. Luo Qiu smiled and said, "It's just that a young lady came to talk to me." ”

"I'm sorry, guest. The fifth uncle hurriedly said, "It's because I didn't think it through...... That young lady didn't say anything to you, did she?"

"Nope. Boss Luo shook his head: "If you have time, help me thank her for the tea she made for me, and tell me some allusions." ”

"Definitely, definitely. The fifth uncle answered.

He didn't know why he was nervous, but he felt that when this young man spoke, he was light and breezy and had no arrogance, but it was even more nervous than when Master Song was angry.

It's like the sea, an endless sea that hides the undercurrents and whirlpools of no man's land.

Let's hope Miss Sakura doesn't have any conflicts with this guest.

Daddy's Buddha jumped over the wall, and Song Haoran personally sent the VIP...... As well as the face of this young man, the fifth uncle actually had some vague guesses in his heart......
