6. Marlena, the focus of the town, is preparing for the business

I had two drinks with Oriyatu last night, and the amount of wine between the two was good, but Sicily's wine was too high, if it weren't for Silvina's sobering soup, Russell would definitely not be able to get up early in the morning.

Lifting the soft goose down silk quilt, there is a touch of golden sunlight on the wall, and the waves outside the window soothe the reef, the first time you wake up, you can see such a beautiful environment, which makes people feel better all day.

Sivena had already made breakfast, and because Russell's dining requirements were relatively high, Oriyatu got up early in the morning and went to the next town to buy fresh milk.

After breakfast, Sivena brought a cup of coffee.

"I haven't visited my neighbors before I moved to town, and I was helped prepare four greeting gifts, two sausages and a box of bread and cheese, plus two chocolates."

"Okay."

Russell got up and took out five hundred lira and put it on the table, then got up and said, "I'm going out for a trip, and I won't eat lunch at home." ”

"Yes, Mr. Russell."

Walking out of the house and along the shoreline, he soon arrived at the door of Marlena's house, but he did not knock on the door to disturb her.

The gossip in the town hasn't dissipated yet, and Russell won't continue to do what he promised Scordia until news of the dentist's disappearance spreads.

That is, to take care of Marlena.

Last night, Russell got 48,000 lira at the dentist's house, enough money for him to start a new business.

While walking on the busy street, Russell heard someone talking about why the dentist didn't open the door, and believed that soon the news of the dentist's disappearance would spread.

Dock Tavern.

Nevino repainted the faΓ§ade early in the morning and changed the name of the bar to a tavern.

When Russell walked in, he found that the floor and walls had become clean, and even the stool had been polished.

"Mr. Corleone!"

Except for Nevino, the other three also rushed to the tavern before dawn, helping Nivenor with his work while waiting for Russell to come.

None of the thugs from yesterday dared to come, knowing that Nevino had already followed Mr. Corleone, so the tavern became a stronghold of the Corleone family.

Russell didn't talk nonsense after entering the door, and directly took out two thousand five hundred lira.

It was placed on the table and divided into four piles, one of which was a thousand lira, and the rest was five hundred lira.

"Nevino."

"I'm here, Mr. Corleone."

Russell pointed to a thousand miles and said, "This stack is yours." ”

"The rest is for the three of you."

"Thank you, Mr. Corleone."

The four people who got the money had no doubts about the division of the money, because it was indeed Nivino who took the three of them to do things yesterday, and although the work was not very neat, it was barely done.

"Are you willing to follow me in the future?"

Nivino and the others excitedly said: "Yes! Mr. Corleone, we are more than willing! ”

Russell nodded and slapped the four on the shoulders and on the top of their heads twice, which meant that Russell had taken them into the family.

"Boss!"

Nevino was so agitated that even his voice was trilling.

Russell sat on a stool and lit a cigarette.

Throwing the remaining forty-five thousand lira in his pocket onto the table, Nevino and the others were silent, waiting for Russell to speak.

"The people of Sicily do not lack food, but they lack money, and without money they cannot buy food. But Tunisia is at war, they have money, only food is lacking ... So, we have to exchange the money in our hands for food, and send it to Tunisia to become money! ”

"Got it?"

Nevino and the others nodded slowly.

"Nevino is going to buy a batch of guns, renting a fishing boat, and exchanging the rest of the money for food, which can also be sausages, cheese, cured meats."

"Okay."

Russell nodded: "I live in that single-family house by the sea, and I will be found there if I have something." ”

Nivino was stunned.

"Boss, isn't that house home to Oriatu?"

Russell looked up and asked, "Do you know Oriatu?" ”

"Yes, Oryatu was previously the leader of the third echelon, doing things for the Bernarno family." Nivino said.

"Oh? Then he is the remnant of the mafia who was hunted down by Mussolini. ”

Nivino laughed, "So to speak. ”

"I didn't expect Oriyatu to have such an experience."

"Boss, he is a good person, and Oriyatu has helped the families of many comrades over the years."

No wonder Oriattus said that the rent was used for another purpose, just to give the couple a job with meals.

"Well, you guys go and do things first."

"Okay, boss."

--

The town of Castillo, the busiest street.

Russell was sitting on a sun lounger outside the coffee shop and reading a newspaper.

I heard a lot of people talking about it.

"Dr. Mano must have been killed by his wife, otherwise I can't figure out why they disappeared."

"The mayor has taken someone to the dentist's house to check, and there is no trace of theft in his house at all, not even the most expensive food has been taken away, and it is certainly not a thief."

The disappearance of the dentist couple was spread for half a day, and the whole town knew about it.

There was a lot of discussion and a lot of talking.

"Kusimano has definitely provoked people, their disappearance is too mysterious."

"Do you think the dentist is hiding at Marlena's house, and Madame Mano is heartbroken and runs back to her mother's house in the country?"

"Marlena won't fall in love with that balding old man at the dentist!"

"Look, it's Marlena!"

For a moment, everyone who heard or saw it stopped talking.

Marlena is in the spotlight again.

Today, Marlena wears a black gown, high heels under her feet replaced with pointed-toe straps, and black stockings wrapped around her thin legs.

It's just that when she walks, she doesn't hold her head up like the others, but keeps staring at the ground, and her eyes don't dare to look around.

Men on both sides of the street took off their hats to greet Marlena.

But Marlena didn't reply.

It's not that they're arrogant, it's that these men all have families.

"Marlena."

Russell put down the newspaper and waved at her.

Marlena looked up when she heard the voice, and saw that Russell's steps were a little sluggish, and after stabilizing her body, she still walked towards Russell.

Stand in front of Russell and look up into his eyes.

"Hello, Ke... Mr. Russell. ”

Russell smiled and nodded: "Hello, where are you going?" ”

The people around them opened their mouths wide, they were already a little unfamiliar with the man sitting in the cafΓ©, and they were even more surprised when they saw Marlena's 'enthusiastic' reply.

People hid behind their backs and whispered.

"Who is this young man? How come we haven't seen each other before? ”

"Listening to the mayor, it seems to be the new security officer."

"What? Security officer? ”

"I, I didn't just say anything bad about him, did I?"

"Not just now, but you said yesterday that there was a wild man in Malena's house."

"Oh, I'm going to apologize to him later."

"He is really handsome, much more handsome than the men in my family, and he is eye-catching when he looks at him."

"Then you go with him."

The crowd said everything.

Russell and Marlena vaguely heard a few words, but they all ignored them.

"I'm going to take care of my father, who doesn't have very sensitive ears."

"Going every day?"

"Yes."

Russell nodded: "Then you can go quickly." ”

"Goodbye, then, Mr. Russell."

"Goodbye, Marlena."

Marlena turned back and stared at Russell again, then turned her head blankly and walked away.

She just felt that Russell was different from the men in the town, and they always saw that their eyes were always full of lust.

But Russell's eyes are very calm, and when he talks to her, he only chats casually, and does not have any possessiveness.

It's like an ordinary neighbor who goes out and bumps into each other and greets him plainly.

This made Marlena a little curious about Russell.

Thinking of the meaning of her husband's letter between the lines, it couldn't help but make her blush a little.

The head unconsciously lowered by three points, and the toes of the shoes could almost be seen as they stepped forward.
