After buying some more onions and spices in the food section, Ariel happily pulled Colin into the luxury section.

Unlike the tattered stalls in the food section, the stalls in the luxury section are more likely to be more ornate, and the stall owners are mostly Faroe or Cretans, specializing in expensive products from outside the island.

For example, apples, grapes, beef, sugar.

as well as relatively new clothes, shoes, glassware, and so on.

No matter how expensive things are, people here really can't afford them.

In the past, only guests had the opportunity to visit this area.

But today is different.

Ariel didn't think about it, and pulled Colin to the long-coveted fruit stand.

Even though the green apple was half rotten, even if the bunch of grapes was covered with shriveled purple skin, even if the little cherry seemed to have been stepped on, Lovely Lier still drooled at it.

After all, she is a person who has been drinking bean juice for ten years.

But looking at it, Ariel quickly turned around again, flashed her little hand and said, "Oh, forget it...... Let's save money again...... Just take a look. ”

"Isn't it expensive?" asked Colin as he picked up a bunch of rotten grapes.

"Hmm...... Only the guests ate the ......," Ariel still couldn't help but peep at the little cherry, "Once, a guest gave me one...... It's so sweet...... Oops......"

She quickly wiped her saliva, closed her eyes and said, "Save money and save money." ”

"You...... Isn't it really acting......" Colin picked up another cherry, "It's not that I can't afford to eat it." ”

"I can't help it...... "Ariel's head scratches her head vigorously, "the boat to Helensu only runs once every two years, and the cheapest ticket costs 20 silver dollars...... Gotta save up enough for the two of us ......."

"What's my business?"

"You've got to come with me, we said we were going to do it when we were 7 years old. ”

"Yes?!" Colin scratched his head.

As he spoke, a shout came.

"If you don't buy it, don't touch it, don't get me dirty!" a middle-aged man in a black cotton suit with his hair stained together scolded as he ran this way.

But after seeing the comer clearly, his attitude quickly took a big turn.

"Oh, little Ariel. He raised his eyebrows slightly, smiling with a mouth full of yellow teeth, "Is Nick okay?"

"Sorry...... Lord Barry. Ariel hurriedly snatched the cherry from Colin and put it back on the shelf.

"It's okay, it's okay, just eat one if you like. Barry walked closer, picked up the cherry again, spat at it, wiped it with his cuff, and handed it to Ariel, "These good things, I have at home, little Ariel." ”

"No need...... Thank you......" Ariel pulled Colin and left.

"What's the hurry. Barry grabbed another handful of cherries, turned to Ariel, leaned over and asked, "I heard about it at the docks...... Something happened to Nick?"

"Hmmm......"

"When that old bastard dies, you'll be free...... he smiled, and gave Ariel a handful of cherries, "Come on, celebrate, it's free." ”

Gratuitous?

Colin was moved.

However, Ariel picked up Colin again and turned to leave.

"Don't do that, Ariel, look at this. Suddenly, Barry pulled out a dull silver ring from the pocket of his padded coat, which had no precious stones, and was so crudely made that it was not even round.

"Ahh Ariel exclaimed, "This is the ...... in my jewelry box The ...... my mother left me Did you run into them at the docks?"

"I happened to run into it when I was unloading this morning. Barry wiped the ring with his clothes and held it up to admire, "Those guys ransacked the hotel and secretly asked me to sell the stolen goods, and when I heard that it was your jewelry box, I wanted to stop it on the spot, but I didn't have that much money with me, just enough to buy a ring." It's engraved with ...... Moira, it's your mother's name, she must be a great beauty. ”

As he spoke, he handed the ring to Ariel, "I can give it to you." ”

Ariel didn't stretch out her hand.

As someone who has survived on Isle Island for ten years, she knows the cost behind everything.

"Ariel, I have no ill will. Barry leaned down, his voice softened, but his eyes revealed a longing frenzy, "Without Nick, your life will never be easy, sooner or later someone will hurt you, and you need the protection of a powerful man." I'm not like Nick, I'm very kind, whether it's a cherry or an apple, you can eat it every day, you just have to come back to Faro with me, whatever you want. ”

As he spoke, there was a loud laugh behind him.

An elderly stall owner patted Barry on the shoulder and smiled, "Is your wife okay?"

"Fuck off!" Barry turned around and smacked him.

The old stall owner shook his head, looked at Ariel, and grinned, "Wife Barry will strangle you to death if she finds out." Come with me, not only fruits, but also cakes, and you will never forget a bite of it. ”

Barry got up and was about to make a move, but the old stall owner hurriedly laughed and ran away.

"Don't listen to that old thing, he's a piece of garbage in Faro, and he can't afford you cake. Barry gathered up his emotions and crouched down in front of Ariel again, shaking the ring and saying, "You haven't been to Faro yet, have you? ”

"There's already someone to protect me. Ariel stared at the ring, her fists clenching tighter and tighter, and she couldn't help but look at Colin, "Can I pay to redeem the ring?"

Colin nodded.

Barry narrowed his eyes, looked Colin up and down, and said, "Ariel, no one can protect this kid, and in Faro, a person like him is not even as good as a mouse." ”

Colin's expression brightened.

He was about to speak, but Ariel stopped him.

Ariel glanced at the entrance to the market area, where two rough men were playing dice.

Her meaning is obvious, this is the market controlled by deep sea killing, don't mess with the gang anymore.

Ariel turned around and asked without waiting for Colin to speak, "How much is the ring, let's redeem it." ”

"I don't want money, little Ariel. Barry shook his head and gestured, "Candy, cake, new dress...... As long as you come with me, you'll be there this afternoon. ”

"How much?" asked Ariel again.

"Really...... Inexplicable dignity. Barry got back to his feet, spat on the ground, looked down at Ariel and laughed, "You island garbage are living like this, and you still need dignity." Okay, I'll give you dignity, buy it for 100 silver coins. ”

"Worth up to two silver coins. Ariel's eyes reddened.

"No money? That's fine. Barry licked his lips and pointed to the woods not far away, "Play with me once and count a silver coin, and after a hundred times, the ring will be yours." ”
