Chapter 58: Bowling
Having known Oreo for so many years, Peggy certainly knew how terrible this manservant was, and she said quickly.
"Oreo, this is going to kill someone."
"Caron isn't as light and heavy as he used to be, so I promise I won't die."
He looked at Peggy, who had a scratch on the back of her hand, presumably from Allen's man.
He looked away and whispered.
"Paige Mom, if you don't make a big move, they'll think I'm Oreo Plavor."
As he spoke, Cuarón had already met his first opponent, a tall and muscular man who had been staring at Angelyl with coveted eyes at first.
Alan said loudly.
"Beat this manservant to death, and the rest of the people will be arrested and taken to the manor!"
“......”
Cuarón hesitated, then turned to look at Oreo.
Oreo shook his head repeatedly, which meant that he was paying attention to his proportions.
He nodded, and threw a punch like lightning, and before the stout man could withdraw his gaze, he disappeared from everyone in the next second.
Allen's men looked in a certain direction in unison, and just now there was a strong wind flashing there, combined with the direction of the manservant's fist, that is......
Looking at the manservant who was gradually approaching, everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Alan was shocked, but he had no idea what was going on, and he screamed.
"Why are you stunned, kill this trickster for me!"
The men didn't know what was really happening, and they looked left and right for a while, and the two warriors quickly stepped forward and rushed towards Caron together.
Cuarón punched the man on his left and smashed his body sideways into the group, like a bowling ball rushing into the pins.
Seeing this incomprehensible scene, the man on the right slowly lowered his outspoken right hand, and then scratched his head in embarrassment.
But Cuarón wasn't about to let him go, and he sent the hapless man out of thin air with a single punch.
"Oh my God."
Peggy panicked, "Oreo, you'd better stop, a little lesson to them is enough." ”
Oreo said earnestly.
"Peggy, these people didn't plan to let you go when they bullied you, if I wasn't there, they would arrest Angelyl to pay off the debt, and all the hard work of your life would be in vain."
Peggy shook her head.
"No, if it really doesn't work, I'll just give them the money."
"My mom, it's not that simple."
Reaching out and patting Peggy's shoulder, Oreo shouted. "This is only the third round of competition, you used the money to pass this hurdle, what should you do in the next round of competition? That's why I have to say that things have to be solved all at once. ”
"Let's stop,"
Peggy pleaded, "You can pat your ass and leave, but I'm still begging for a living on Sixth Street." ”
"Begging for life is not about letting life ride on your face and show off your might."
Oreo shook his head in disappointment, "Peggy, why is your mind so dull, I regret that I shouldn't have done you this." ”
Hearing this, Peggy froze in place.
Of course, she didn't want to be ridiculed like this, but she knew that Oreo was telling the truth.
Seeing her mother's dejected appearance, Angelyl hugged Peggy and comforted her softly.
"Mom, I will listen to you and participate in the Black Queen election, you should have faith in me."
"No...... No,"
As if recalling the past, a look of despair appeared on Peggy's face, and she repeated without logic, "The support of the nobles is vital to you, we cannot afford to lose their support, and I cannot let you miss another most precious opportunity." ”
Patting Angelyl on the shoulder, Oreo said quickly.
"Angelil, take your mother back first, I think she'll figure it out."
Angelyl nodded, holding Peggy.
The fat woman hesitated, but finally took a step.
After stepping out of the doors of Abby's Theater, Peggy stopped, looked back at the four-story gray building, and was silent for a long time.
Angelyl observes the side of Peggy's face, which is full of melancholy.
But somehow, Angelil suddenly associates this side face with the woman in her childhood oil painting, and at this moment, she thinks that the shadow in the oil painting is Peggy.
She lowered her head and whispered.
"Mom, you've competed here before."
Peggy looked back, surprised, she had never told Angelyl about it.
"How do you know?"
Angelyl smiled.
"My sister told me."
At the mention of Atifa, Peggy became lost again.
"My poor Atifa, she's just lost her mind to that man, Angelil, promise me that you won't be like your sister in the future."
Seeing that Peggy was not in a good mood, Angelyl didn't dare to touch her moldy head, she nodded, noncommittal.
"I've learned a lot from Mr. Oreo, but I'm not as desperate as my sister. Mom, I'll take care of you too. ”
"Angelil,"
Peggy sighed, "I don't need you to take care of me, if you can take care of yourself in this life, I can die blind." ”
Angelyl reached out to stop a passenger carriage, and she helped Peggy on.
The two sat side by side on one side of the carriage, and the scenery flew by outside the window.
Retracting her gaze, Angelyl looked down at the hem of her trench coat.
"Mom, I will take care of myself, and I will live a happy life."
People who have been emotionally suppressed for too long will always burst out when something happens, and the same is true for Peggy, who feels extremely vulnerable today.
After pressing it for a while, she still choked up and said.
"Angelil, I can get a lot of things in my life, but in the end I don't get any of them......"
Angelyl shook her head, "Mom, in fact, life is not bad now, you own the largest brothel on Back Third Street, and a daughter who will become the Black Queen, and soon you will move into Sixth Street with the brothel, and then slowly become a decent person." ”
Peggy said with a wry smile.
"Angely, the feeling of losing something is only understood by the person who has lost it......"
Angelil hurriedly comforted.
"Mom, there are a lot of ups and downs, and cherishing what is now is the most important thing...... Like Mr. Oreo, he must have owned a lot of stuff before, but now, he's not a crappy detective on Back 3rd Street and an occasional cameo as an unscrupulous judge.
Mom, you know, the office leaks when it rains, and the board above Mr. Oreo's head is the most broken, and he complains almost all night when it rains, and I usually can't sleep that night...... But I'm not so unhappy. ”
Obviously talking about sad things, but Angelil always had a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.
Near Tenth Street, she pointed to the office at the fork in the road.
"Mom, you said that people like Mr. Oreo are not unhappy, what else do you have to complain about."
Peggy squeezed out a smile as she wanted to say something, but choked on the spit.
She coughed twice and slurred her words.
"Angelil, you don't know him at all."
