Before evening, Kay returned to the field and told Lily and Jacques that no one wanted to harvest the sugar cane after running all over the village, and that she planned to try her luck in other villages and towns tomorrow.

Jacques and Lily didn't want to fight the little girl who had worked so hard, the sugar cane and the house were about the last bond between him and his father, and the foreman might have wanted to plot both the property and the person who wanted to take her.

They can only protect her from harm at the last moment, and there is not much point in protecting foreign objects.

Dinner was still the tough lye bread, a Stuart staple that would give Jacques a freshness for the first two days, and now he wanted meat! large pieces of meat instead of a sauce made with a small spoonful of diced fatty meat.

Still want to get some money!

I'm going to execute the bold ideas myself!

After dinner, the three of them played poker again, but Fat Orange took the opportunity to sneak out of the house and into the town, wandering the deserted streets.

Last night someone was killed by a vampire, and the fifth was a fifth, and even the most daring people hid in the house at this time, praying that bad luck would not befall them.

The ghosts of the night take your offerings, as long as it's not me.

Fat Orange is here to explore Jacques' path, looking for a target who can "borrow a little money".

It seems that after meeting the high-sounding sea fishing at sea, this servant began to deviate, and did not blush at all when talking about robbery and theft, the environment of the New World changed people?

In the bedroom, the two of them were lying opposite each other, and after the candle went out, Lily stared at Jacques, who had been a little absent-minded all night, and said flatly: "Has Fat Orange found a target that can be targeted?"

Jacques panicked, Lily seemed to have regained her sagit these days, and she was not so stupid, and she could even guess what Fat Orange was doing quietly when she went out!

"There's no money in the shops in the town, I think it's all sent to the lord's castle, and there's no reason to rob ordinary merchants, is there? Now Fat Orange when blended into the castle. I don't think it's a good thing for a lord to collect such a high rent. ”

Boom!

Today's second brain meltdown!

"Don't take any risks! When we get to Tavaré, we can earn, become mercenaries, and go hunting! ”

Jacques rubbed his head, and if he played it again, the more he played, the more stupid he became, how could I have a chance to turn over!

"Okay, okay, but Fat Orange is curious about everything, let it play on its own, let's sleep. Hmmm......"

A moist and soft lump enters the mouth......

Breathing after a long time......

"Do you like it?"

"I like it!"

"Then be obedient and don't cause trouble. ”

"Good ......"

......

On this day, Jacques and Lily spent another day guarding the sugar cane pile.

Kay had been on the road for a long day, dragging his tired body home disappointed. However, it brought news that Patrick, the foreman, had sent someone to say that he wanted to talk to her tomorrow, and she had agreed.

At noon on the second day, in a restaurant in town, Kay entered with a fat orange in his arms. Fat Orange was given to her by Lily, saying that in case of danger, Fat Orange could come to report the news, and the two of them were in the bar next to it.

Kay was taken to the private room on the second floor by Hook Nose, Patrick sat alone at the table and feasted, looking at the delicious food in the room, Eagle Hook swallowed his saliva, reluctantly closed the door, and went to the staircase to guard.

"Kaye, we've met, don't you remember?" Patrick said as he ate.

Kay remembered the face, he had come to the house more than a year ago, when his mother was seriously ill and he had quarreled with his father.

"Sit down and eat, it's all good, let's talk while we eat. This roasted beef tongue is good, very tender, and it doesn't taste good when it's cold. ”

Kay sat down anxiously, did not touch the utensils, and asked timidly: "Foreman, what do you want to talk to me about? You should also know that I am going back to Stuart after selling the sugar cane and the house, so please give me a way to go, as long as you give me enough money to pay the lord's rent and my travel expenses, and I will give you the sugar cane and the house for 100 silver coins." You don't lose money on this deal, the house is worth at least 50 silver coins, and you know better than me how much sugar cane is worth in 5 hectares. ”

Kay finished what he had been preparing for a long time, and Patrick was still dealing with a piece of beef shoulder blade, nibbling on the best meat with bones, chewing, swallowing, drinking, and picking up a napkin to wipe his mouth.

After finishing his work, he finally said: "As long as I want, hook my fingers, your house, your sugar cane, including you, will be mine, I say this, do you believe it?"

Kay nodded fearfully, although she was not yet 12 years old, but the children of the poor were in charge of the house, and the difficulties and helplessness of life had already been endured, and the worst was nothing more than that.

"But...... I can also buy your sugar cane, your house, and give you a sum of money to return to the empire.

Your parents are both from the empire, and you still have relatives in your hometown, so if you go back empty-handed, will they accept you?

There must always be a return for paying, if you don't want to ask for others, then you have to have your own money.

Do you think I'm right? Take a sip of wine, Southern Rum, those soft Southerners, it's good to make wine. ”

Kay trembled and took a sip of his glass, it tasted weird.

Patrick continued: "You know, I also have some friendship with your parents, and I can help you, not only for your passage, but also for a sum of money that will allow you to live back in the Empire. ”

He stretched out a hand and compared, and then his face sank, "I can also arrest you and slowly rectify it, and don't blame me if you are worse than dead when the time comes." ”

Kay finally plucked up the courage to ask, "So what do you want? My father left me nothing......

Patrick laughed: "Your father's death was an accident, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you, I would have asked him to tell me everything." ”

He took off one of the rings on his finger, the ring looked ordinary, the slender ring looked like a woman's, and it was also inlaid with ordinary sapphires, and the design was slightly rustic.

Patrick shook the ring in his hand, "Does it look familiar? yes, your mother's ring." At that time, your father took him to the lord's pawnshop, and exchanged it for 20 silver coins to treat your mother's illness. You think you remember.

I was lucky enough to come across it, do you remember it? Is there a faint pattern in the middle of the sapphire?

That's not an impurity, but a special symbol.

Why would I know?

Haha, when I accompanied the eldest young master to school in Lundinium, I wasn't stupid to wait in the mansion for him to come back on the weekend to serve him, I went to grammar school, studying history, this symbol represents......

It doesn't matter to you anymore what it represents, now it's mine, and if a third person knows the secret of this ring, I'll make you regret giving birth. ”

"Now that it's in your hands, what else do you need me to do?"

"What I need is a place! the place your mother mentioned to you, or maybe your father told you.

She died the day I got the ring, and she didn't get to tell me about the location.

Now that your father has been killed by vampires as well, I think the secret of this ring may be a curse, tell me and you'll be safe.

Take me there and I'll give you 500 credits!

It could be a place name, or it could be two numbers, you can remember. ”

Kay was silent for a long time and then said, "This ring was given to me by an old man my mother met when she was a child, and when she gave the ring, he disappeared. That's all I know. ”

Patrick became furious, slamming his fists on the table, the cups and plates smashed, and the legs broke and overturned. It seems that he is not an ordinary person, but also an extraordinary person.

"I've heard this twice from your parents, didn't he say anything to your mother at the time? It's useless for you to hide this, it means something that is useless to you ordinary people......"

Outside the door, he coughed and said loudly through the door: "Boss, the eldest young master sent someone to call you just now." ”

Padraic reluctantly picked up the napkin and wiped his hands clean, "Remember what I said, if I know that you said something you shouldn't have said to someone, you're done!"

When I went back and thought about it, I remembered what your parents had told me, and I came to the town to look for me.

If I don't see you tomorrow, you won't see the sun the day after tomorrow.
