"Mr. Edward, please wait a moment, you can pick a house now, and I'll get you the key when you've chosen." Carl said, pointing to the house.

"Are these houses big enough? Mr. Thabitt. Mill asked.

Carl smiled and nodded, "Of course, you can even add two more people." ”

Mill carefully examined the exterior of the house, and of the five houses, four were extremely dilapidated, and Mr. Thabit had not found anyone to renovate them.

The exterior of the other house was almost new, and Mir thought that this house should be newly built, and the furniture inside would be new.

"I'll choose this one, Mr. Tabitt." Mir said, pointing to the house across the street from his home.

Although they were only separated by a wide street, Mir could keep an eye on them from the bed on the second floor, and in order to avoid accidents, he had to choose the nearest house.

Karl looked at the window of the house and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Edward, but there are already people living in this house. ”

This made Mir a little puzzled, the occupants of this house had left the place a long time ago, and that was before the war between the French Empire and the Empire on which the sun never sets.

Mir knew that the man in this house was a general of the Empire on which the sun never set, because he had received an order from the marshal to return to his homeland to join the war.

Mir hadn't seen anyone living in the house since he left, not even a single figure during the day.

"What? Mr. Tabitt, I haven't seen that man in months, let alone so close to here. Mir had knocked on the door and was leaning against the window, not seeing any sign of human life in the house.

"Really?" Karl thought for a moment and said, "About two months ago, two black men found me through a introduction, the woman spoke an unfamiliar language, I couldn't understand her at the time, but the person with whom she was traveling was a man who spoke fluent French, and the man said that she could only speak Creole, not French. ”

"The men said they had fled here from Santo Domingo, that they had come to take refuge, and that they wanted to rent a house from me, and you knew I was very kind, and I didn't refuse them, so I said yes." Carl said as he walked into the courtyard of the house.

Mir seemed to remember where this place was, and he had read about a place called Santo Domingo in the book of Zengcai, and that Santo Domingue and Santo Domingo had been on the island of Hispaniola, which had been divided into two eastern and western colonies by the Kingdom of Spain and the French Empire.

"What else did they say?" Mill asked.

"The man only let the woman live here, saying she wouldn't cause trouble in New Orleans for the people of the French district." Carl stopped at the door of the house and said.

Now that France is chaotic enough, Mir wants to be very friendly with this neighbor, he is not averse to refugees, just not to make waves like the infidels.

Mir's eyes fell on the dirty window and said, "I hope she'd better stay in the house honestly, or we'll invite her to sit at the French police station." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Edward, I can assure you." "I've been observing her for over a month now, and she's barely been out of the house," Carl said. ”

Mir looked at Carl in disbelief and said, "Has she been in the house all this time?" ”

"Yes." Carl was convinced, "She's never been out. ”

"If she doesn't go out, what does she eat?" Mir asked curiously.

"I don't know, and I think it's a little strange that almost no one has visited her house except the man." Karl replied.

Mill leaned against the window, he looked at the furnishings on the first floor of the house, and could vaguely see that the sofa was very messy, and there was a lot of dust on the walls and floors next to the window, and he was worried that the woman in the house would die quietly.

He didn't want to be ridiculed by Walderu again now, and the other case in the hotel was enough to keep him from looking up.

"Mr. Tabitt, can you be sure she's still alive?" Mir asked in a low voice.

Carl smiled and said, "Of course, before I went to Philadelphia on business, the man was here, and the woman came out to greet me in person. ”

However, Ruili and the others were also very curious, and they learned from Mir, and they lay on the other window together and looked inside.

At this moment, the door slammed open, and everyone present jumped, and the woman stood at the door of the house with a blank face, staring directly at them.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? The woman said coldly.

"They're here to see the house, Miss Paulina." Karl was extremely enthusiastic.

Paulina Denig, who spoke French, but was not fluent at all, said: "Monsieur Thabitt, I still live here, what do you want them to come and see?" ”

"They want to see how well the house is renovated and renovated, I've rented another house to them, they want to fix it, you're going to be neighbors in the future, Miss Paulina." Carl made up lies.

Paulina turned to Mir and asked, "Is it true?" ”

"Yes, Miss Paulina." Although Paulina's complexion was extremely dark, she seemed to be the most beautiful of all the black women, and Mir complimented: "The house you live in is simply beautiful, as beautiful as you." ”

"Have you finished reading it? If you're done, please leave my house right away and stay away from here as much as possible. After Paulina finished speaking, she immediately closed the door.

Mir didn't expect Paulina to dislike socializing, he thought that Paulina's personality was withdrawn, she liked to be alone, as if she was disgusted with anyone, and she may have been in some kind of long-term repression, which caused her heart to be extremely distorted.

"Oh my God! She's so weird, Mr. Tabitt. Mill was surprised.

Karl comforted Mill and said, "Don't mind, Mr. Edward, her character seems to be like this, as cold as ever. ”

"Okay, then I'll pick this one." Mir wants to know what Paulina does in the house every day, so she asks Ruili to keep an eye on her in their free time.

"Okay, Mr. Edward, I'll get you the key."

Karl left for a moment, and Vincent leaned over to Mir's side and asked, "Sir, why would she reject us when she is so beautiful?" ”

"I don't know, I feel that almost all the people from Hispaniola have eccentric personalities." Mir shook his head and said, "Of those people I met before, none of them are weirdos. ”

"Oh! Oh, my God! Martin stood aside, spread his hands, and said, "Sir, I don't think this includes me." ”

Mir's words surprised Martin, who himself was Saint-Domingue from Hispaniola, and he didn't want to be targeted by the governor.

"Haha, you're an exception, Martin." Mill laughed.

"He's an exception, especially his mouth, which looks like a sutra." Vincent quipped.

Hearing Vincent's words, Martin asked unhappily, "Vincent, what are you talking about?" ”

"I said you're a perfect fit for Miss Paulina, and you can pursue her." Vincent said with bad intentions.

Martin continued to look out the window and said, "She's so weird, I'm afraid I'm going to come near her." ”

"Martin, you have to believe in your own strength, I, the chief, and Vincent are all very supportive of you."

Ruili came to Martin's side and said, "Don't you want to try it?" ”

"Hmm... Of course you can try, but I'm afraid you'll be jealous. Martin stared at the scene in the window.

Carl handed the key to Mir and said that the house needed to be cleaned before it could be inhabited, and that it had not been inhabited for a long time.

Carl said he had some things to do, and that he needed to make a long trip, this time closer to Philadelphia, and that he was going to Florida for a meeting.

After Mir had said goodbye to him, he told Vincent to open the door, and then let Ruili go to his house and fetch some tools for cleaning the house, and from then on they would live there for a long time.

Mir went back to his house, he took some money from the storage room and gave them some money, and told them to clean the house and go to the store to buy some groceries, and some clothes, as well as some common things.

Mill watched Vincent and Ruili go about their work very quickly in the room, but Martin didn't know where to go.

He wandered around the room, but found no sign of Martin, and he thought that Martin must have gone to find Miss Paulina.

Paulina's indifference to herself, he didn't want Martin to get close to her and avoid some unnecessary trouble.

If Martin is identified as a hooligan by Paulina, he will be arrested by the officers of the French police station, who will laugh at him.

Laughing at his subordinates is not only wine bags and rice bags, but also like a group of hooligans.

Mir came to the door of the house and saw Martin still leaning on the window, staring into Paulina's house, and he didn't know what attracted Martin.

"Martin, what are you doing there?" Mir shouted.

"Sir, do you know what I just saw?" Martin came back to his senses and said.

"What do you see?" Mir watched Martin's eyes carefully, his pupils dilating to narrowing.

Martin pointed to the window and said, "I saw her undressing and showering in her room. ”

Mir lashed out at Martin and said, "Damn! Get to work! ”

"I have to remind you that this is her privacy, and it's best not to mess around in the future." Mir's gaze was fierce and he instructed Martin.

"Sir, what's my business? She doesn't draw the curtains to take a bath, isn't she just showing people in the open? Martin argued, "I don't think it's just me, the people around here are probably staring at this window and peeking." ”

"Maybe I'm blocking the sight of those perverts, and it's probably them who are angry, not you, my sir." Martin's mouth muttered, and his eyes turned to the people behind him to look at the people in the houses.
