Volume II, Chapter XVII
"Did you lose again today?", took his father's glass, "I said I wanted you to give up the hobby of playing cards, but that wasn't for you." =”
"Yes...... I lost ......", "I lost all." ”
"Really, how much did you lose this time?", my father's loss would happen almost once in a few days.
Instead of answering her, her father picked up the dagger on the table, the tip of which was aimed at his heart.
"Dill, you must help me ......," he said, "or I'll be finished......
, ready to accept the fact that the father lost a lot of money.
"Tell me, how much did you lose today?"
, "Diere, I'm sorry......"
"How much, exactly?"
, shook.
"Father, you're too much! It's ridiculous to lose forty gold coins in one night! You know......"
, "Not forty ......"
"Yes...... It's four hundred!", "That's almost all of our possessions!"
, in a barely audible voice, "not four hundred ...... either"
, weak.
"If you don't say how much you've lost...... I swear I'll never care about you again......"
"I ...... Lost ......", "Nearly five thousand...... Gold ......"
“......”
"I'm sorry!really!I'm really sorry!".
"I knew we had to have this day, but I didn't expect it to come so soon...... We've got to go out into the street and ask for food. ”。 "Monsieur Baron, have you figured out where you are going?"
"It's not just that...... "I don't know if I'm afraid of begging on the street." Still apologetic to his daughter, Mr. Baron's eyes flashed with tears, "They also saw me hiding cards......"
“......”
"I swear I didn't mean to! I drank too much. ”
“......”
"You have to trust me! I didn't mean to!"
"You go die!", stood up, turned and walked out of the room.
With a "bang", he took away the short sword on the desk and the long knife in the bookcase. Spears hanging on the wall...... Wait for something that qiē can be used to kill someone, and then, walk out again.
"You'd better go back to sleep now!" she said, still standing in the doorway, "and if you're not dead by daybreak, get me up and make breakfast!"
"I'm your father!", "You have to respect me!"
"Shut up!", "Now I'm your father!"
He threw a large pile of things on the floor and sat down on a chair in the corner of the hall.
With a long exhale, her little head began to spin high. First, five thousand gold coins. You can't get it at home, and even if you sell everything, it's not enough.
She has nothing to say about the man she can call "father" now, if suicide can write off this arrears, she can personally prepare a qiē for him, but unfortunately not, it will involve the reputation of the family.
The reputation of the family is everyone's, and it also includes the reputation of the mother...... My mother had nothing left, and she left this reputation in the memory of the world. But you can't ignore your mother, the only one who deserves her love.
She sat up straight, wiped tears from her eyes, and began to count all her possessions.
"Mademoiselle," a servant entered, "there is a letter from you. ”
"Thank you," she said, nodding, "please inform the others, something is going on in our family...... We're going to move, so get ready. By the way, I asked everyone to count a qiē item at home overnight and seal it. ”
"Miss......" the servant was surprised, "has the matter come to this point?"
"Yes, it's very strict. "But we still have to face it. ”
She opened the letterhead, and it was written by the creditor, the bastard named Orta, who had postponed the repayment date by ten days, and repeatedly stated that Monsieur Baron was drunk at the time, and that he and his friend had unanimously forgiven him for his actions in the last few rounds.
"Bastard!", "I'll kill you after paying off your debt to the last copper plate!"
But what she has to face now is the ridicule of all those who are dissatisfied with her from tomorrow onwards and the fingers of ordinary people pointing at her, and at the same time, she also understands that her life in Wanpu is over.
She got up and put the letter on the table, but saw a golden head wrapped around her left hand, oh, it was the robber in black, she thought of the ridiculous fellow, remembered that the two of them were entangled and he didn't take advantage of himself, and wondered if the scent of his lipstick had left in his hand?, and put her head away.
Early the next morning, news spread through the streets of Wanpu that he was bankrupt! All his family's property, including his home, luxury goods, furniture, his daughter's clothing store, and goods, was to be auctioned at an auction house.
, which contained my mother's sapphire ornament, a necklace, a pair of earrings, and a ring...... This is the only thing that her mother left her besides love.
"I hope you can help me sell it for a good price......" Her heart broke the moment she closed the box and handed it to the auctioneer.
, quietly looking at this qiē.
"Buy that box!" he said to the people around him, "and the house." Clothing stores. Buy something that can be used for the next qiē. ”
"But Boss!" said Jack, who was beside him. "That's a lot of money!"
"Buy!", "These can bring us more money!"
"Yes!" said Jack, "but Boss, the dagger in the woman's hand looks familiar......
"You're wrong!"
"No, boss, it's like you......"
"I'll tell you you're wrong!"
"Yes, but you are the only one who can wrap the thread around the handle...... I know I'm wrong, boss, don't stare at me like that!"
"Go and do ......".
"Then I'll go!" Jack hurriedly ran away to arrange for the groceries.
, looking at the fine workmanship. Touching the silk thread on the handle, he finally didn't hand over the dagger for auction. She didn't know that at this time, the owner of this dagger was looking at her, but her mood was even more nervous than herself.
The auction was over, and as she had hoped, everything had been bought for a good price, but it was far from enough to pay off the debt.
She asked the person in charge of the auction to transfer all the money to the creditors, and she really didn't want to face such a disgusting person.
"Please tell him that we have done our best. "Please give me some time. I won't owe him a copper coin!"
There's a lot to deal with there. My father left the house in the morning and went to the villa by the sea, which was now the only place where they could stay, though he kept complaining that it was terrible.
There was a man waiting for her in someone else's house, who was Mr. Prley's butler.
The butler said to her, "I have brought you a message which I think you need very much now." ”
"Please. ”
"Yes, the message is for my master," the butler cleared his throat, and it seemed that this was not the first time he had done such a thing, and he seemed very methodical, "of course, you know who my master is, and my master wants me to tell you, and he will be honored to travel with you, and if you agree, he will be with you wherever you want." You can stop and buy a home and everything you need anywhere you like, and all the expenses will be paid for by my host. ”
"Do you understand?" said the butler.
"Very clear. ”
"So," said the butler, "when are you going to go?"
, but walked to the window and looked out at the street.
"I know I'm looking down right now, and I'll admit I'm in a very difficult time," "But I didn't put myself on the counter and let people pick and choose!"
But she knew for a moment that she really wanted to do it.
"I still thank your master for his willingness to buy me with money at this time...... However, I am most grateful to myself," "I am grateful for my strength! I am grateful for my faith! With these two things, your master is not qualified to buy me!"
"I don't understand what you mean," said the butler, "but if you don't think the conditions are good, I think we can discuss." ”
"It's not about the money, it's about your master. "Your master has nothing in his whole body worthy of my affection, and he bought me only to satisfy his lustful desires. His personality is not even comparable to that of a prostitute!"
After saying this, he kicked the housekeeper out of the door.
※※※ On the sea, several ships are approaching the shore quickly, and the draft is very deep.
Seeing the smuggling ship returning, the governor of the Dark City, the corners of his mouth turned upward, patted Fischet's chest and walked towards the docks.
"Boss!" called Marfa to him from a long distance, "we are back!
"What's there?".
"The best wine!and all sorts of the most valuable things!" Marfa raised her eyebrows, "Boss, I don't think we should do anything more than the governor, there is a future for this!"
, and then loaded into the carriage and transported away. I thought of my past life.
"Marfa. Although now it looks like smuggling is profitable. He hugged Marfa's shoulder affectionately and said, "But this can only be used for emergencies, and it is never on the table, what we want is a truly safe space for survival." ”
"Ah......h
"That is to say, to do this unstable dìng is like ...... It's like marrying a wife and outside, it's dangerous!"
Marfa smiled and nodded.
"That's right, Marfa. "The next time you go back, figure out everything over there." ”
"Yes Boss!" said Marfa, "I like to inquire more than anything else...... Oh, this time there are almost four hundred gold coins to earn, but unfortunately we don't know what exactly is needed over there, otherwise it would definitely be more than that. ”
"So, we need someone dedicated to all of our business." ”
Fichette on the side walked over and whispered. "I've heard that our target is trying to identify fruit trees and other solar terms these days. It's like you're going to open a farm. ”
"Really, then we'll make her unable to open it!", "At night, go turn her orchard upside down!"
"Why?" said Fichette, very dissatisfied, "you have already hurt people enough!"
"It's not me! You are her creditor ......", "Moreover, if you want a person to follow you with all her heart, you have to hit her again and again! Find the bottom line of her psychology in countless blows, and at the moment when she is about to collapse, I will appear to rescue her, so that she will be grateful and remember it for a long time! In this way, she will know that I am better than her, and I am her dependence! She will willingly help me do things...... I won't be sold for fifteen gold coins for three more clothes!"
The more people around them stood apart, everyone felt cold, very cold, and at the same time glad that they didn't have to be looked down upon by this guy.
"No need!" complained Fischet, "they only sell you fifteen gold coins for three pieces of clothing......
"Less nonsense, my brother," "I think you can help me decorate the room, I've been living here since today, thank you!"
, to everyone.
"Did you hear what he just said? He said 'thank you'!"
"Maybe it's because the boss has listened to the corner a lot during this time......", "Look at you, the boss has gone to ...... again"
"Oh......" said Fischet, "forgive me for my sins!"
The next day, having a hasty breakfast, she took her servant to the orchard.
The orchard was built with the little money she had left, and it was planted with all kinds of rare fruit trees, which would make a lot of money if the harvest was good this year. Whether you can turn over or not depends on this time!
However, the orchard was destroyed...... It can be seen that the saboteurs are perverts, because they cut down all the fruit trees and then stack them in neat order, like soldiers waiting in a queue to be reviewed.
"I can't cry, I can't cry......", "It was just an accident, I'll get through it, until yesterday, my plan went smoothly, I have even learned to recognize the fruit tree......" However, tears still flowed.
"Okay!", "Tell me what you saw yesterday?"
"Smuggle, miss!" replied the servant, "they join on the seashore, I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Forget everything you see!", turned and walked away.
The servants looked at each other, not knowing what their young lady wanted to do.
Night.
, the belt was tightly tied, and then the head was stuffed into the hood.
"Smuggling, it's not difficult!" she put the black iron dagger in her arms, "I'll see it last time!"
Open the window,.
"Jump off without saying a word...... You want to scare people to death!" Under the window, a man in black who had just been almost stepped on by her kept patting his chest, "You owe me again!"
She was carefully navigating through the bushes, getting closer and closer to the abandoned castle built by the sea.
"I have to be careful...... "They use this as a base, there must be someone there." ”
She slowly reached the dock and found a dark corner to hide herself. She didn't know that in order for her to sneak into the dock "smoothly", the man in black behind her not only jumped up and down with various gestures, but also the people in the castle had to pretend not to "see" her.
, the smuggling she had been waiting for had finally begun. More than a dozen fully loaded wagons drove up to the docks, and people began to load smuggled goods onto ships.
, because she felt that she was still very good enough not to be stupid enough to smuggle these bulky and unprofitable items. These guys are really hillbills, although they act very professionally.
Finally, when the men had sent off the boats, and the docks had turned off the lights, her little head had already begun to calculate how many boats to use at a time, and the servants and herself went, what goods to bring, and even what she should dress.
,, he turned his head to look at Fichette beside him.
"Brother, the situation is not good, our plan must be advanced!"
"But ......"
"No, but, no, but, if we let her play tricks, we'll be done!"
"Okay......!
