At noon, in the house in the main garden, the owner of the estate, Monsieur Gardel, one of the shareholders of Château Latour, also invited Alice to this small village. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Miss Alice, what do you think of me, how am I doing after a morning of wandering around the winery?" said Mr. Gardel, sitting on the throne, with a pipe in hand, and smiling.

"The scenery is beautiful, the vineyard is too beautiful, and the wine industry is very delicious, no wonder they all say that the French countryside villages are the most suitable for the elderly, and it seems that this is really the case" Alice has a good impression of this place, and she already has an idea, which small village she will go to retire when she is old.

"Hahahaha, Miss Alice likes it, I let the kitchen make the famous Bordeaux wine dishes, each dish, no worse than those matsutake foie gras, if not satisfied, I will let them remake a new table" Mr. Gardel happily bit his pipe, and with a wave of his hand, let the servants serve the wine and soup.

"Thank you, Mr. Gardel, for bothering you" Alice twitched the corners of her eyes, and secretly said that this is the local tyrant.... How expensive is the wine, you just take it and cook it? If you are not satisfied, you can change the table?

During the whole meal, the two of them were complimenting each other, in fact, they both knew in their hearts that it was just to maintain good business cooperation, and after eating, Alice said goodbye to Mr. Gardel, saying that there were still some things in the afternoon, and they should go back early.

"It's really uncomfortable"

Walking out of the house, Alice rubbed her head, she hated such politeness in her heart, but for the sake of this hotel, it was really a good guy and a bad guy, and all kinds of people did it again.

"Miss, get in the car" Shaffer opened the back door of the sedan and shouted to Alice, who was still there in a daze.

"Got it," Alice rubbed her neck and got into the car.

Led by Mr. Butler, the car drove slowly towards the gate, and when it reached the gate of the small village, it was stopped by a strange and interesting scene.

On the muddy and old road of the village, the only emaciated boy in the winery was holding two loaves of bread, tearing them up little by little and handing them to two or three children who were a little shorter than him.

Seeing this, Alice asked Shaffer to stop, turned her head and looked at the little boy on the corner quietly, and couldn't help but be a little moved, even he couldn't eat enough, and he had to give food to other children, should he be said to be kind, or he was selfless and pitiful.

"I said, why is that kid so thin, even the bones are protruding" Xiaoxiao shook his head, thinking that there seemed to be some snacks in his bag, or the sisters forcibly stuffed them, and now, there is a use.

The little boy didn't know who was paying attention to him, and concentrated on distributing all the lunch he got to these homeless orphans who were a few years younger than himself, and when he heard the sound of footsteps on the side, he hurriedly put away the white cloth wrapped in food and hid it behind him, and turned to look at the people timidly.

"Lady's ....."

Seeing that the person who came was in the winery, and even the butler Mr. Big had to respect and greet the person, this little boy was indeed frightened, not to mention the little children behind him.

"You didn't eat... Do you just give bread to someone else" Alice glanced at the clothes on the child's body and the white cloth on his hands, it was very dirty and messy, and it was completely impossible to tell that it was a child raised by a large winery, squatted down and put the bag of snacks and water in his hand in front of him, and continued, "Although the food here is not nutritious, it is okay to fill your stomach temporarily, I will have someone to tell some Mr. Gardel to let him take it"

"No, ma'am!" the little boy began to tremble when he heard Gardel's name, as if he had heard something terrible.

"Why? do you look.... Seems to be in need of help, don't be polite to me, I'm not that fierce, or, Mr. Gardel in your eyes... Are you afraid of him?" Alice was interrupted, not angry, but a little surprised, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you want what I gave you"

"I... I haven't seen Mr. Gardel, I'm just a kid that Mr. André picked up, the winery provided me with a place to live, I don't ask for anything else, everyone else likes to say nice things to please Mr. André, I can only pick up things they don't want, clothes, and food, I once picked up a book, on which I can read a few words, but this taught me not to accept other people's things indiscriminately, so, I can only do this..." The little boy showed a lonely expression, but soon shook his head and changed a little, returning to his original state.

It's really sad to hear this.

Alice was a little stunned, surprised by the child's maturity, it seemed that the environment made him so prematurely independent, reacted, pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Okay, then, I'll ask you a question, you answered correctly, I'll give you these foods, if you answer wrong, I'll take back my things and leave immediately, how about it, don't you accept it randomly"

The little boy looked up at Alice suspiciously, wondering why this respectable lady would treat herself like this, and give herself free food, sanity, but was defeated by the hungry child behind him, nodded and said, "Okay, ma'am, may you ask"

"What's your name?"

"Huh?"

Unexpectedly..... That's the question Alice asked.

"I.... I—" The little boy didn't expect it, and thought that Alice would ask some incomprehensible words, but he thought that it was this question.

"My name is... Carl..."

"Ang, Carl, okay, I'll say hello, I'll give you these things"

"But, ma'am, I.... I... I can't ask for it."

Alice was about to get up and leave, when she saw that the child had rejected herself again, she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, and asked, "Why? Didn't I say it, I asked you a question, and if you answered me, you can take it, but I keep my promise, don't let me become a person who doesn't keep my promise."

Little Carl looked at Alice in embarrassment, and after thinking about it, on the one hand, he felt that it was really bad to accept Alice's kindness, and he was discovered, but he would be severely punished by the people of the winery, and on the other hand, he ..... I just want to take these foods and feed them to feed these children who are not well fed and clothed.

In the end, he gritted his teeth, stood in front of Alice, took out a folded piece of old yellow paper in his pocket, handed it to her, and said softly, "I can't accept your help, but I want to exchange with you, this is my most precious thing, although for you, he is not valuable, however, the words on this piece of paper have taught me a lot of things, now that he is yours, I don't have anything too valuable, I will definitely double it back to you in the future"

Alice took this piece of paper funny, opened it and took a look, this piece of paper turned out to be torn out of a book, or a book by Shakespeare, and looked at it repeatedly, Danish Prince Hamlet? couldn't help laughing and said, "Child, I accepted this thing, then my thing, do you want to accept it too?"

"Well, thank you, they've been hungry for two days, and they can't get enough bread at all, thank you," and with a consolation on his conscience, little Carl lifted up half his weight bag and water and walked to the small dilapidated house behind him, and then there was the exclamation of a child who knew about Soso.

"The French countryside, both in terms of ideology and construction, is so backward" Alice stood up and calmly looked at the scene inside through the crack in the door, this child is really a rare kind-hearted child.

"Miss, it's time for us to go" Shaffer stood not far away, looked at the time, and reminded him loudly.

"Well, I'm a little thirsty, Shaffer, and I'm still a little hungry, go buy me something to eat, I've had a big appetite lately, buy more" Alice rubbed her stomach and walked back with a smile on her face.

"You don't need an excuse in front of me" Shaffer has been with Alice for so long, how can he not see her thoughts, it is not half an hour after lunch, and it is digested?

"It's good to know, then I'll rest in the car, you can buy it" Alice grinned and sat in the car, shamelessly leaving the trouble to Shavre to do.

"Okay... "Miss" Shaffer had no choice but to accept it, making sure that there was no danger or strangers approaching him, and then he walked into the small shop not far away and began to buy those bread and food and the like.

After a short break, Alice leaned on the soft seat and closed her eyes to rest, and when she was about to fall asleep, she heard some noisy sounds outside, frowned and opened her eyes, the sound insulation of this car is very good, how noisy it is outside, it will disturb the inside.

"Hmm.... Shavre, what's wrong?" Rubbing his eyes, he saw Shaffel standing outside the car, lowered the window and asked.

Shaffer looked back at Alice, bowed his head and said, "I gave all the food I bought to those little kids, but... Some of the homeless people noticed it, so they snatched the food and beat the child, and the child you noticed seemed to have been seriously injured and fainted."
