126. Chapter 126
What will Limi say to her family, Louise can probably guess what kind of person she has not seen after following Otis for so long, this kind of little girl who has never seen the world is very coaxing, she believes that things will go very smoothly, after all, the other party does not need to take any risks, but there is a chance to save her family with her mouth, why not do it? Time is tight and there is no room for consideration, so don't miss the opportunity.
Louise had a good night's sleep that day, and Finks came to see her the next morning, and she gave her a rare smile.
Finks doesn't understand, is it a pleasant thing to be imprisoned, how can you laugh, this princess can't be overstimulated and stupid, right?
"What about the maid who served me yesterday? What is the one called rice? Louise asked about Rimmy.
"Limi, she's not feeling well and asked for leave to go home, what's the matter, she didn't serve well?" Finks didn't think that Louise would bewitch a maid, Rimmy's family worked in the City Lord's Mansion, and her father was very respectful, so Rimie was sent to serve Louise.
Finks is a bit machismo, his motherland is an absolute patriarchal world, he doesn't despise women, and he is usually a gentleman, but in his heart, women can't do big things, it's right to keep to themselves, he is willing to protect delicate women, but he feels that women are fundamentally inferior to men.
So he didn't think that Rimmy, the little maid, could do him any harm.
Louise raised her eyebrows, "No, I just wonder why she's suddenly gone, her massage technique is not bad, I like it." โ
"It's best if the princess likes it." Finks forcibly misunderstood.
Louise sneered, "You think I like the way I look here?" โ
Finks sat aside, "I don't look bad. โ
"How long are you going to imprison me? After all, I have no grudge against you, you can't lock me up forever, right? Louise put on a negotiating stance, "My companions will definitely come to me when they find out that I am gone, you and I am a person, can you catch me casually, Saint Buyat will find me here sooner or later." โ
"When will I let people see my mood, I will give you face and call you a princess, but don't forget the wound on your face and make your position clear." Finks didn't like Louise's attitude, "You lived here obediently until the slave trader left, and then I will make a decision depending on the situation." โ
"But you have to understand, this is not St. Byatt, I am not a citizen of St. Bukat, you are not my monarch, don't put on a high posture with me, I don't like it very much." Finks reminded coldly.
Louise subconsciously covered her cheeks, she was slapped hard yesterday, she was beaten for the first time since she was a child, and now she still has swollen red marks on her face.
Since the other party had no possibility of letting her go, Louise felt that there was nothing more to say, "Please go out, I don't want to talk now, and I don't want to see your face." She turned her head and shouted.
"I don't want to miss office hours if I can." Finks came for a purpose, "The princess has come from afar, tell me about the situation outside, I'm very interested." โ
"You!" Louise is angry, this man is really brazen!
"Star 11 is closed to news, and the only source of information is the slave traders, but you also know that most of them are from the Rodman Empire, and there is not much useful information." Finks smiled, "I'll decide what treatment matches the princess's appearance, how about it, it's fair, right?" โ
Looking at Finks' smile, Louise gritted her teeth, this man is really hateful!
But it didn't matter, she was sure that the smiling face would soon crack, and soon, she would just wait quietly for the slave trader to arrive......

At this time, Yi Tuan was looking for Louise, and he spent some money to ask people everywhere, asking everyone if they had seen people with similar bodies nearby, especially the nearby hotels, almost all of the hotels in this area were found.
It's not that there are no clues, the owner of one of the hotels and the guy said that they had seen people of similar shape, and the time to stay in the hotel also coincided, saying that it was a generous guest, but yesterday after going out during the day did not go back, did not check out, did not ask for a deposit, and did not know where people went.
Yi Tuan thought to himself that it should be Louise, but it was too strange, why should she live outside if she didn't go back to her good home, what was Louise thinking? And where did you go after leaving the hotel, if you don't want to stay, then you should check out first, right?
In addition to the hotel, there is also a little clue near the yard, someone saw a similar figure in this area yesterday, because he is tall, his body looks very tall, and his back looks like a beauty, so more than one person noticed, but there was nothing else except these, everyone just saw it, and did not pay attention to where the person went.
Yi Tuan was very worried, how could he look at Louise as if she didn't come back on purpose, it was too strange.
Seeing him like this, Mai Mai persuaded: "Brother Yi Tuan, didn't you say that she and Uncle Otis are both bad people who kidnapped you, she is not good to you, why should you worry about her?" Wouldn't it be better if she wasn't there, I've already found several slaves' families, and tomorrow when the slave traders come, they will be able to reunite with their relatives, and then they can help us pass on the news, and it's more convenient for Sister Louise not to be there. โ
Mai Mai really doesn't have a good impression of Louise, although he has never seen the world, but he is not as simple as Yi Tuan, he is better able to distinguish between good and evil than Yi Tuan, who is not familiar with the world, he can see the hatred and boredom in Louise's eyes, and the child's heart is the most sensitive, who likes him and who doesn't like him, he can feel it.
โโฆโฆ That's right. Yi Tuan looked up at the sky, he spent his time looking for someone to be benevolent and righteous, the other party ran out by himself, he really has no responsibility at all, now the most important thing is the family of those slaves, as for Louise, I believe that Otis will go to find it himself when he comes back, compared to him as a hostage, those two can be regarded as a "family".
"Let's get down to business, are we really confirmed, will they really help us? This is a very risky thing. Yi Tuan shook Mai Mai's hand.
"It's absolutely no problem, I'll tell them according to what you said Brother Yituan, as long as it happens, they will give them a large amount of gold coins at that time, and they are happy to agree, and I promise to do it well." Mai Mai looked like he was begging for praise, he was rich and easy to do, and it was Yi Tuan who taught him how to bribe people with money.
Yi Tuan rubbed his head amusedly, "Thank you." Mai Mai refused to leave with him, but it doesn't matter, as long as he wants to be able to go back, he will definitely help the people here, I haven't seen it with my own eyes and don't know the cruelty of life here, I know that these people are really not easy after experiencing it, and he will let a poor child like Mai Mai live a happy life.
At dinnertime, everyone ate in the courtyard, and naturally they talked about the slave traders' coming tomorrow, which is a major event once a season, and the city will be very lively, and more and more people have come to the city in the last two days.
From time to time, someone knocks on their door to beg for food, they can't get by and come to the city, most of them want to sell themselves, although there is no freedom to be a slave, but there is no problem with eating, the management of slaves in the Rodman Empire is quite strict, there are not many things to โกโก, every slave who goes through the regular procedure is registered, the government will often spot check, if the audit finds that the master is โกโก strict, it will cancel the qualification to use slaves, and perverts will not be accepted by mainstream society.
During the conversation, Hans and others expressed a strong disgust for slavery, and every time the slave traders came, they would curse them incessantly, calling them criminal human traffickers.
"But I heard from Lisa's mother-in-law next door that her daughter's owner was very kind to her daughter, and she met her daughter once last year, saying that the owner was kind enough to let them meet." Amy's niece is a girl who likes gossip very much, and within a few days she got acquainted with the neighbors around her, she was very afraid of the slave trader because of the relationship between her family, and then she heard a lot of things and changed, "So not all slave traders are bad people, they are just doing business, like Lisa's daughter, if no one buys her, their mother and daughter will starve to death, and now Lisa's mother-in-law has a little money to live, and her daughter has also met a good master, well-fed and warm, and both of them are doing well, It's not much better than starving to death. โ
Amy was half angry when she heard this, and she stretched out her hand to fight, "You dead girl, we can't be slaves even if we starve to death!" In the future, you are not allowed to mess with those who are not careful! "Her niece, who has been following Mu Ne's father who can't speak, has been raised crookedly.
"I'm not talking nonsense, it's better than dead." The girl muttered.
Yi Tuan is a little sad, this is what Chester said about people who have lost their dignity, the harsh living environment, the hard life without guarantees, slowly erodes the dignity of these people, making them willing to become slaves, just to be able to eat and clothe.
Amy taught her niece a few more lessons, but the girl was very impatient, and finally pulled her throat and said, "Do you really have to sit and wait for death when you have no food to eat, and if you don't want to be a slave, do you want to be a โกโก like Wenna?!" โ
"Smack!" The spoon in Wenna's hand fell to the ground, she looked at everyone in panic, and then lowered her head in shame, tears rolling in her eyes, Katie, who was sitting on the side, didn't quite understand what was happening, and only carefully grabbed the corner of Wenna's clothes.
Amy slapped her niece and told her to apologize quickly, but the girl twisted her head and refused to apologize, and Amy was angry.
Everyone is silent, Wen Na's past is indeed quite sensitive, no matter how she helps, she feels weird, the male help is afraid of being said to have intentions against her, the female is afraid of being said to be indecent, and only Amy can say a few words about her niece.
"Sister Wenna is not wrong." When the atmosphere was stiff, Yi Tuan held Wen Na's hand, he was young, delicate and beautiful, and this action would not make people think crookedly.
"If it weren't for Sister Wenna's dedication, Katie and her brother would have starved to death, she didn't enjoy it for herself, she wasn't afraid of hardship, if she went to be a slave, then her children would have no one to take care of, under limited conditions, she just chose the most promising way of life for her children to live." Yi Tuan's hand clenched tighter, "So don't look down on her, she just can't help it, if you want to say that there is a mistake, it can only be attributed to Rodman's unreasonable system." โ
"Although war is a matter between countries, there is nothing wrong with innocent people, and everyone should not be treated like this, so it is not Sister Wenna who is at fault, at least she has not lost her freedom, she is still her own, which is millions of times better than slaves!" After saying that, he squeezed Wen Na's hand and smiled at her, cheering her up.
Everyone in the yard echoed one after another, even saying that it was not Wen Na's fault, it was all forced by life, and there was no way to do it, for the sake of the child, it was not easy to be a mother.
Wen Na snorted, after her husband died, Yi Tuan was the first and only one to speak for her like this, he said that she was not wrong, it was the sinful Rodman Empire that was wrong, and her inferiority complex was redeemed.
What the hell should she do to repay such a wonderful person......
