Luna tossed a worn-out roll of bills over the counter, "For the rest of the day, Alice I've got it." ”

"Yes, yes, girl, whatever you want. The owner of the bar counted the bills with a smile on his face, and lamented in his heart: What kind of world, Alice was actually wrapped up by a woman, could it be that her charm has reached the point of turning everyone upside down, and she can eat it regardless of gender?

Alice followed the generous girl with some trepidation and sat down in a remote corner.

"Miss Luna, what are you asking me out of today?"

The attention of the surrounding drinkers was originally on them, and when they heard that it seemed that there was a real date, they couldn't help but prick up their ears and slowly approached their feet.

"I want to ask you to tell me what happened to you when you came to the city. ”

"You want to hear about my experience?" Alice said in surprise, "isn't that good?"

When everyone heard it, it turned out that they weren't dating?

Slowly, when a person tells his own story, he or she lets the other party understand his own process, which is also an indispensable part of the communication between the two parties. Besides, what happened to Alice in the past, we are all interested in hearing about it.

With this figured out, everyone continued to concentrate, and the originally noisy bar fell silent for a while.

Hearing Alice's excuse, Luna unhurriedly took a thick notebook from her satchel and flipped through most of the pages full of records to stop at a blank page.

"Not only do I have to listen to you tell stories, but I also have to record them. ”

"Ugh. Alice was dumbfounded, "What's the matter with your notes?"

"This is the report of the investigation into the survival of maids in London. Luna said with a serious expression. "Alice, there are already records of thirty-five sisters here. I hope you will also tell the truth about what has happened to you. ”

"Is it all a maid's story?" asked Alice, after a pause. "Can you let me take a look?"

Luna nodded, pushing the notebook in front of her.

Alice turned the pages one by one, and at first she read it relatively slowly, but then she turned faster and faster, her eyes gradually reddened, and she suddenly closed the note, and couldn't help crying, "I really can't stand it, this is really a history of blood and tears." ”

Luna looked at her with gentle eyes. "Now would you like to tell your story?"

"Actually, everyone knows why I came to this place. Alice wiped her eyes, "Miss Luna, you've probably heard of it, too. ”

"What I know is just a rough outline. Luna said, "Regarding the details and details, I want you to be specific. ”

"Okay. Perhaps seeing too many stories of the same kind, Alice let go of her worries and finally began to tell her story.

Alice is also a girl from the countryside who has no roots in the city. He has been diligently doing all kinds of household chores for his employer. Later, with a drinker, Alice stumbles upon a talent for bartending, and is able to make different kinds of liquor into more delicious drinks. At the same time, it is also easier to get drunk.

This ability has greatly increased Alice's worth in a short period of time, and gentlemen who like the contents of the cup have competed for her. Alice's income also grew rapidly. But all this did not bring her happiness. Instead, it was the beginning of her disaster.

In normal times, ten gentlemen might be ten gentlemen on the surface. In drunken moments. Of the ten gentlemen who showed their original form, there were at least five or six. As the saying goes, wine can mess with sex, some masters beat her to a blue nose and swollen face when they became manic, some masters broke the utensils in the house and angered her, and even some masters were furious and directly violated this poor maid. As for being discovered by Mrs. afterwards, it will inevitably cause disharmony between the husband and wife, in the final analysis, of course, it is Alice's fault.

In the end, a dissolute young master actually set fire to himself after drinking and had fun, almost burning down half of his home, but blamed Alice on her head and sent her to court. Under the great and just system of free will, Alice owed her master thousands of pounds in debt, and was sentenced to be barred from working as a maid for life because of her great fault.

Alice, who is riddled with huge debts, can only rely on her own bartending skills to work in a tavern on the corner. Although she soon became known as the "Cocktail Queen" and was very popular with drinkers, the spending power of these low-level guys was really limited, and Alice's income was meager, so she had to do some special business from time to time to barely cope with the arsonist's debt recovery pressure.

Yes, it's just interest, and it's impossible for Alice to pay off that super debt with interest rolling in her life.

"Alice, you are so miserable and unfortunate!"

"Alice, those aristocratic lords of London, they are all bastards when they are drunk, and they are not as good as us. ”

"Alice, your last master, is a shameless devil!"

After a new history of blood and tears, the tavern exploded, and everyone expressed their strong dissatisfaction with righteous indignation.

"Alright!" Luna slapped the table hard, "Since you're so upset with Alice, let's have the money to make a money field and help her pay off her debts!"

The hall was suddenly quiet again, a group of people, you look at me, I look at you, no one spoke.

"What are you hesitating about?" Luna intensified, "if any of you pay Alice's debt, Alice will be very grateful and willing to marry him." ”

She looked at Alice, who hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, if anyone is willing to help me pay off my debt, I am willing to ......."

It seemed that there was no need to say any more, and the people in the tavern left as if they had made an appointment.

Vaguely, I heard someone muttering, "If I have so much money, of course I want to find a serious girl, how can I want her?"

Alice's face suddenly turned extremely pale.

"Sit down, Alice. Luna said lightly, "Those people only have verbal comfort and cheap sympathy for you, and you don't need to hope much for them. ”

"I should have known that people like me would only cause trouble for others. Alice said bitterly, "So no one can help me." ”

"Wrong. ”

"What?"

"Dozens of girls here, if they all think like you, they all feel that no one can help them. Luna slipped her notebook in one hand and said slowly, "Then no one can help you." ”

"But I really can't think of anyone who can help me. ”

"The people who can help you are here. ”

Alice was surprised, "What?"

She looked at Luna's hand, and suddenly her breath became short, "You mean, from this notebook?"

"You've finally figured it out. Luna nodded, "You're the one who can help you." (To be continued......)
