Chapter Ninety-Three: The Girl
After Xiaobai cleaned all the food on the table, López raised his hand to summon the waiter, paid for it, and packed another meal.
After stretching, López put it in his bag and got up for Sivir.
Truth be told, he expected to return to Sivir again much later than he already was.
However, López's time is really running out, and this is also an uncompromising fact.
So he couldn't stay in his hometown, or anywhere, for too long.
Now he can't have any slackness, and his footsteps can't stop for a moment, for himself, for Aya, he must hone himself to be stronger, of course, in fact, his reasons are far more than that, but those have long been scattered in time with the wind of the ancient road.
"Oh, it's another wonderful day, and of course it's best if you don't have to go back to the Forest of Life, and have to eat that damn fruit. Complaining, Xiaobai, who was standing on López's shoulder, began to bow his head and arrange his feathers.
Hearing this, López turned his head and sighed, before continuing to speak: "You should have eaten well recently, and as for the standard, it comes from your crazy weight." ”
"Hey, hey, this has nothing to do with food, it's all because of the nourishment of the cute little she-bird, understand?" he said, and a lewd smile instantly bloomed on the little white face.
"Yes, that's the best, I don't want to hear you talk in my ear about how I can help you find cute and docile birds. López shrugged as he spoke.
"Oh, damn it, how can you have such an idea, boy, who would have too much of this kind of thing?" With a look of disgust, Xiaobai was ready to teach López about the experience of bird life.
But López was so resistant that he had to raise his hand and throw it out.
In this way, in the midst of unconsciously chattering, a man and a bird have arrived in Sivir Town, shook his head helplessly, and signaled that Xiaobai on his shoulder could completely stop for a while, López walked quickly to the front of the house, stood for a moment, and then pushed open the door and walked in.
And Hayes in the room was eating the leftover roast chicken from yesterday, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised to see López pushing the door in.
He also thought that López would not be back today.
"Mission accomplished, Xiao Si?" asked, Hayes put down the roast chicken in his hand, but most of his attention was focused on Xiao Bai, but it was not obvious to him.
"Grandpa, the roast chicken is cold, you can eat this. With that, Lopez took the packed meal out of his bag and placed it in front of Hayes.
"Okay, I'm just afraid of wasting. Hayes smiled kindly and raised his hand to take the food and place it on the table.
Seeing that Hayes bowed his head again and began to eat, López continued to speak: "I've basically dealt with the matter here, so I'm going back to Azeret today." ”
"Don't worry about me, I can still take care of myself with this old bone, besides, there is Arnold. Hayes was stunned when he heard the news, but quickly came back to his senses.
"And I'm leaving?" said López, grinning, and then slowly stood up.
"Let's go, I don't have many clean days. With that, Hayes waved his hand indifferently and ate the food in front of him again.
After gently placing the two hundred gold coins on the table, López looked up and walked out, his hand pausing for a moment on the handle, but soon opened the door without hesitation and walked out.
By the way, this time López hired a carriage, after all, there was no need to go back and forth, and besides, he was a little tired from walking.
In the midst of constant turbulence, López once again arrived in the town of Yerkes.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of a modest shop, and López paid the fare before walking briskly down.
After glancing up at the signboard and confirming that his destination was correct, López walked straight inside.
The unfamiliar environment made him subconsciously look around, this shop looks a little old, but the enthusiasm for service is very high.
Before he could finish his observation, a bloated woman wanted him to walk quickly: "Guest, do you need any service?"
"Of course. López replied, then asked, "Sell slaves?"
"Of course, of course, how many do you need, and what are they for? I've got a new batch of handsome, delicate slaves, you see?" asked, the woman's expression became more and more flattering, after all, the slave trade is quite oily, and who would have trouble with the damn gold coins?
Looking at the smile on the woman's face, López's tone couldn't help but become a little helpless: "I want the kind of maid who can serve people, you think too much"
Staying at home alone, of course López is not at ease, there are no gold coins, there is a little capital, of course he has to make his grandfather more comfortable.
"Don't worry, I've got all of this, come with me, honored guest. With that, the woman led López to the room upstairs.
As the two of them slowly advanced, the view from the second floor slowly entered López's eyes.
Those people.
Oh, maybe that's not the right wording, because they don't seem to be human anymore, they're caged like livestock, and their food is nothing more than horse feed.
In the eyes of that group of slaves, there was no life at all, only a stagnant water, they abandoned their dignity and humanity, and they lived humbly.
This scene slowly mixed with deep shock in López's eyes, but unfortunately, he couldn't change anything at all.
Rescue them?
But what strength and qualifications does he have to save, if the world is really as simple as it seems, then everyone can become a hero.
They have no choice but to adapt.
How can the courage to swim against the current be so simple?
"Guest, please choose at will, although it is not a high-class product, but the price can be discussed. The woman's voice pulled López's thoughts back.
He endured the coldness in his heart, and began to scan the goods in the cage continuously, and finally, his gaze stayed on the little girl in the corner of the cage.
She was skinny, her eyes were full of fear and pleading, and the older slaves around her were constantly embracing and beating her, and the inferiority of human beings would show itself in any situation, greed, selfishness, and violence, and was this worthy of sympathy?
Sighing, López raised his hand and pointed to the little girl in the corner: "That's it." ”
"Guest, are you sure? I won't tell you, this is frail and sick, and we are ready to throw it directly to feed the dogs. Smiling indifferently, the woman asked leisurely.
"That's it. With that, López turned and walked downstairs.
After a while, the woman walked down with the skinny little girl in her arms: "This only charges you a hundred gold coins, if you still need it, please continue to come." ”
