Chapter Thirty-Nine: Vinanaika: Sophie
Although there are still some episodes that have not been straightened out, Wednesday is relieved to know that Margaret is not in danger for the time being. Leaving the carriage shop, he turned his head to see a ready-to-wear shop not far away, and it looked quite familiar, and when he thought about it, he and Margaret bought the clothes when they first changed clothes.
However, at that time, there was not much ready-to-wear shop in that town, only one storefront, and this store had as many as three, it seemed to have a backyard, and the decoration was more atmospheric, and the name of the store seemed to be the name of the owner, Vinanica Sophie.
Walking in on Wednesday, browsing through the dazzling clothing racks, from time to time I also picked one or two pieces and compared them on my body, no different from ordinary customers, and from time to time I asked the little girls around me for some information on the size of the fabric. But on Wednesday, I walked around and walked to the women's clothing area, which made the little waiter next to me a little strange.
Wednesday didn't bother with her, just focused on looking at the clothes, but when he walked behind a clothing rack, Wednesday found what he was looking for. In fact, there was only one word and one expression, but it made Wednesday smile. One word is "ginseng", and the expression is the expression of a smiling face, carved with a sharp object, and if the average person sees it, I am afraid that it is whose graffiti.
It's a pity that in Wednesday's eyes, this is the signal that Margaret left him, which means that she is fine now, so that Wednesday should not worry. Because the word ginseng is also only known to Wednesday and Margaret. No one else in this world can leave this word in this place.
Of course, Margaret wouldn't have predicted that she would find this ready-to-wear store on Wednesday, and that she would have found this corner, and she should have left a similar mark elsewhere.
In the end, Wednesday chose two light, breathable, and sturdy robes, similar to those worn by magicians, with pointed hats and long hems, and lowered their heads to almost cover their entire faces. On Wednesday, I saw that there were many people wearing such robes on the road, and the people around me seemed to be surprised by this, so I chose these two pieces.
With these two robes to cover it, it might be possible to avoid some unnecessary trouble, and Wednesday thought about walking to the counter to check out. Taking advantage of the shopkeeper's change, Wednesday casually asked, "Boss, did a girl with short hair and yellow skin come here to buy clothes the day before yesterday?"
"Yes," the boss put a few silver coins in Wednesday's hand with a smile on his face, "a very peugeot little girl, but her hairstyle is too messy, ahem, and she bought two sets of women's clothes, both inside and out." ”
Wednesday sighed, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did she say anything or leave anything behind?"
The shopkeeper pondered and shook his head, "No, it seems that he hasn't said a word." ”
Wednesday nodded and said thank you, leaving the ready-to-wear store with two robes in his hand, before turning to a restaurant not far away. According to the chariot shopkeepers, Margaret and the others rented a car from him after eating at the restaurant.
The restaurant is relatively upscale, the table tops are covered with tablecloths similar to silk, and after ordering two steaks, I glanced at the opinion book on the wall, and Wednesday's heart moved, and I walked over and turned the pages to take a look. After turning a dozen pages, Wednesday saw Margaret's number again, with a scribbled word for "ginseng" and a laughing expression, almost exactly like the one in the ready-to-wear store.
Seeing this, Wednesday was completely relieved, at least for the time being, there was no need to worry about Margaret's personal safety. However, Fox City still has to go, and Margaret's whereabouts still have to be mastered. Because Wednesday had another task in his hand, he didn't want it to fail.
If Margaret's destination is changed to another place on the way, then Margaret will be tied to Fox City on Wednesday, unless Margaret can help him confirm the completion of the mission and let him get his mission reward smoothly.
Of course, Wednesday didn't want things to get to that point, in the end, he also hoped that Margaret would be able to do well, not to be deceived or how to drop, although those people may be her father's old subordinates, but after all, after so many years, no one knows what those people think.
As for whether the elder Buffon is dead, or whether there are other arrangements, it is none of the business of Wednesday, he just has to do his best. Thinking of this, Wednesday returned to the lodge with two steaks and bread.
"Any news?" Chrissy asked excitedly when she saw Wednesday.
Wednesday nodded, then asked rhetorically, "Why are you so excited, it has nothing to do with you." ”
Chrissy chuckled, "Why doesn't it matter, don't forget that you still have to escort me to Fox City, of course I have to care about your affairs, if your affairs can't be resolved, then I won't be able to get to Fox City for the rest of my life?"
Although Chrissy said it aggrieved, Wednesday saw from her expression the meaning of wishing Wednesday never found Margaret for the rest of her life. Thinking that Chrissy wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp either, Wednesday casually asked, "Do you know Vinanica Sophie?"
"Yes," said Chrissy with great interest, "she is the most famous tailor on the road, a grandmaster, and in addition to her superb tailoring skills, she also has a great talent for business, and she has garment shops in her name almost all over the continent, and she is also one of the famous businesswomens. ”
"Oh?" Wednesday asked, raising an eyebrow in surprise, "all over the continent?"
Chrissy nodded as a matter of course, "She is very famous, if anyone in the entire continent can wear a set of clothes that she sewed with her own hands, it is definitely a very face-saving thing, even me, the king of my country, only got a set, and only on major ceremonies or very formal occasions will wear it." ”
"My country?" said Wednesday with a smile, "what nationality are you?"
Chrissy coughed, "I am a person from the Sean Kingdom, born in the imperial capital. ”
Wednesday nodded, and then changed his voice, "You said that your family is also in business, tell me what kind of industry your family has?"
Chrissy grinned, "My family is a small business, only dealing in land......"
"Hahaha, it turned out to be a big real estate developer," Wednesday suddenly laughed when he heard it, and then changed his words: "No, it's a big landlord, hahaha." "Wednesday laughed so happily that real estate developers have become synonymous with nouveau riche. Thinking that Chrissy is the daughter of a big real estate developer, Wednesday couldn't help but want to laugh.
However, there should be no real estate developers in this world, and it should be the most appropriate to say that it is a landlord. Landlords are supposed to be in charge of farmland and title deeds, and if they are involved in business, they generally do not participate in a certain operation, but directly engage in the business of leasing and developing shops.
Of course, Wednesday was not interested in Chrissy's family history, just casually asking, at most to learn about her family situation.
After dinner, the two washed and went to sleep.
Wednesday still practiced his internal skills, and he was not lazy at all. And the proficiency of "Lifting Longitudinal Technique" is about to reach a bottleneck, and Wednesday really hopes to see what kind of improvement will be made after his light skill breakthrough.
At midnight, around three o'clock, Wednesday suddenly heard a slight movement outside his window, immediately came out of the meditation, and quietly pulled out the ring knife and hid behind the wall, calm and vigilant.
But for a few minutes, Wednesday didn't hear a single movement, could it be that he heard it wrong? Wednesday quietly opened the door, and one dodged out, and by the light in the hallway, Wednesday saw a dark shadow curled up outside his door.
Wednesday immediately recognized that this was the same monkey he had thrown off twice in a row. Seeing the big eyes that shone slightly in the night, Wednesday put away the ring knife, and then crouched down to look at the little monkey.
After half a ring, Wednesday sighed helplessly and muttered in a low voice, "You're really going to give me a problem," and said as he picked up the little monkey and walked into the house.
Perhaps because he understood Wednesday's thoughts, the little monkey's originally timid eyes immediately brightened, and he excitedly stretched out two thin arms to hold Wednesday's thumb, and then rubbed his round head on it, looking particularly intimate.
On Wednesday, I brought a basin of water for the little monkey to wash it well, and then wiped it clean with a towel. There is no hair dryer in this world, and the little monkey's freshly washed hair sticks to its skin wetly, and with its thin body and big head, it looks particularly funny.
Wednesday, who was amused by the little guy's appearance, also let go of a little tangle in his heart. To be honest, the first two times I hardened my heart to get rid of this little monkey, I really couldn't bear it in my heart on Wednesday, and I regretted it a little when I thought about it. Now it's okay, it seems that my thoughts have been cleared all of a sudden, and my mood is much more relaxed.
I broke two pieces of bread and poured a small half bowl of water and put it in front of the little monkey, and sat on the other side on Wednesday and looked at the little monkey.
Seeing the bread and water, the little monkey blinked his eyes, looked at Wednesday and then at the bread and water, and then moved his round body close to the bread, stretched out his thin paws and picked up the bread, and gnawed it like a hamster. The small mouth is not big, but it is very fast, and with its clever eyes, people like it when they look at it.
According to the saying on the other side of the earth, that is, this little monkey is too cute, and it is definitely a pet at the level of the cute god.
Seeing that the little monkey was eating well, Wednesday didn't care if it could understand it or not, and instructed: "Sleep when you're full, don't disturb me," and continued to practice after speaking. But this little monkey is really sensible, and he didn't make a single sound all night, and he was not as noisy and naughty as other monkeys, as if he didn't exist.
