Roque touched his beard, his beard was not long, and he would shave it with a knife every once in a while, but I don't know if it was because he was too blunt or if he was not clever enough, even if his beard was trimmed, it looked very ugly. And because of the scars on his face, his beard also doesn't look good, with a few flesh-colored marks mixed in the beard, which looks even more ugly.

When something else came to his mind, Roque would always stroke his beard, and even pluck a few of the freshly popped up when he was upset, which made his face rougher, even though he was already a rough man.

He looked down, and there were four men standing in what he called the dog farm, which had a very important defensive role, and it looked like they had become fish in his nets. An old man, a middle-aged man, two children. Such a combination, now you want to talk to him about business?

And the goods they took out were one of them, the girl who seemed carefree?

"I hope I heard it wrong, or maybe it's a joke I've never heard before?" Roque said to Olga below, "You mean that girl, the commodity you're going to trade?"

Roque wasn't surprised that the commodity was a living person, and he wasn't angry. He, a man who had fled to this sparsely populated place, had never had any morals. As for this kind of business called "fresh business" that deals with living people, of course, he can do it, rather, it is what he has been doing.

"If you think it's a joke, I apologize to you, owner here. She's a commodity, and we're not joking. Olga replied to Roque.

"It's good to call me Roque, and of course, it's better to call me Captain Roque. Roque said, looking at Lulunaka. Lulunaka noticed Roque's gaze and looked up at him with a smile in return, "Hello, Mr. Captain, you have found a good place, although it is a little desolate, but you can see the sea, and no one disturbs you, it is a beautiful place, and it looks quite lively, how many people live here? By the way, can I find a place to fish? If you have a small bay with such a deep water, there must be a lot of fat fish waiting to be caught, right?"

Roque felt that the girl was a little too lively, and she didn't seem to be able to figure out what the situation looked like. And she spoke like a harp repeatedly, and it was impossible to interrupt at all. It was precisely because her voice was as good as a musical instrument that Roque did not feel irritated by her talking, you know, he has always been the one who speaks, not the one who listens to others. Lulunaka's innocent and lively attitude didn't seem to have affected Roque alone, as his subordinates were now a little more relaxed and less guarded on their faces.

"She doesn't seem to have the consciousness that she's a cargo herself, if you think it's funny to joke with me......"

Olga interrupted Roque, "As you can see, she doesn't have the consciousness that she is a commodity, and she probably doesn't realize it at all. She's gone mad, but she just looks normal. ”

Roque took back his words and continued to touch his beard, "You say she's crazy?" Roque glanced at Lulunaka again. If this girl is crazy, then she behaves quite cute. He'd ever seen a crazy woman, but none of them were as lively and lovely as Lulunaka. The crazy woman is so ugly that she is either sold cheaply by him or disposed of directly. A madman isn't worth much—but if a crazy person is like Lulunaka, then it's valuable.

But is this girl in front of her really crazy? Roque wanted to say that this was a ridiculous joke, how could a madman behave like this. But if she's not crazy, how can she laugh in this environment?

"If she's really crazy, it's pretty free for you to let a madman go. Roque said.

At this time, Patin spoke, "She watched everyone in her family be killed by us, not even her brother, who was only a few years old. At this, he paused, as if to say that this too cruel thing was too cruel for him—and that he had done it. "Seeing a child of a few years old being killed, she was already devastated, and then it became like this. ”

"It's a deep regrettable. Hearing Pattin's explanation, Roque looked like he suddenly understood, as if he understood the cause and effect at once. Human beings are inherently fragile creatures, especially in places where there is no order, and I am afraid that a human life is worth less than a piece of bread. It was enough for Roque to know that there was one thing, and he wasn't interested in the details of where the girl came from or what had happened. Padtin's words had already given him enough information - someone had died, someone had become a commodity, and was up for sale.

Roque was interested in other things. "So you left her alive? His words sounded like he was mocking Olga them.

"Dead people are worthless. "But if you're alive, you'll be able to sell it for some money, and that's when she's the last one left." And I think she's worth a couple of bucks. ”

Roque looked at Lulunaka again. There is some truth to Pattin's words, a delicate and docile girl is worth some money, although her meekness seems to have been caused by madness. But this has made Roque a lot less troublesome. If he temporarily keeps a commodity that will rebel, then he will have to spend time distancing it, and it is very likely that he will lose the value of selling it when he is "educated". In that case, he's just spending money for his own enjoyment, rather than buying a commodity waiting to change hands.

Lulunaka did have value as a commodity, and some of Roque's young men had been staring at the unusually cheerful and lively girl. This is not a strange thing, at a time like this, there are no goods left for sale in Roque's secluded and safe home, and it is quite difficult to meet a woman.

Roque thought about it for a while, and felt that this business could be done. It's the fishing moratorium, and even if it's mosquito meat, it's still meat, it's better than doing nothing now, just fishing every day, and he's bored to the point of gaining weight—even though he's been growing fat all the time, probably because it's been so good.

"Okay, I've done it. Let that girl in!" Roque shouted to his men.

Another door was opened in front of Olga and the others.

Patin was watching the open door. The defense of the place was much better than he had imagined, and although it was mostly wooden, it was no worse than the stone one. With just these two doors, I'm afraid it can only be opened with at least a small stone cannon or a battering ram. This place has undoubtedly been in business for a long time, and it can be considered a paradise for criminals.

Olga looked up and asked Roque, "How much is she worth?"

"I have to check and confirm before I can give the right price. Roque said, "The crazy woman is not worth a few dollars, and if she still has a disease on her body, then I will not give out a single silver coin, and I will go as far as I can with her!"

"I guarantee that she does not have any defects and diseases on her. Olga continued, "Except for the fact that she has a brain problem, she is completely human, and she is better than ordinary people. ”

There was some truth to Olga's words, and Roque thought about it seriously, if she hadn't been so obedient because she was crazy, and if there really wasn't any physical problem, then she wouldn't have been taken to the value of a commodity—if these people weren't lying, and they did kill the girl's entire family.

"Okay, then I'll show my sincerity first. Roque beckoned to his men behind him, took a small money bag, took out most of the coins inside, and threw it down. The money bag fell to the ground, very lightly on the ground, and it sounded like it was empty inside.

"If I think the business is doing well, then I'll give you the rest of the money. Are you satisfied?"

Julius went to pick up the money bag, looked nervously at Olga and Pattin, saw them nodding, opened it for a moment, and then took it into his arms. Looking at Julius, Roque felt like he was feeding a pack of dogs, but these were wild dogs, and compared to his little ones, they were not cute at all.

Of course, that girl is the exception.

"Alright, let's go through that door. That's what you want. Olga said to Lulunaka.

"Oh, you're finally done?" Lulunaka, who had been looking around and reaching to touch the stake wall, heard Olga's call, and looked like you were finally done. "Can I go in? Thanks for your efforts, I think I can go fishing." ”
