Chapter 258 The 'Porter' In the Alley

Alena, Lorraine Hill, and Lily walked down the street and continued to shop around.

Since this is the capital of the past, there will be some shops that are not available in small places, such as painting material stores, porcelain stores, poetry and book stores, etc. Several people can be said to linger, and time passes quickly.

They looked from house to house at first, but it was too time-consuming. Later, they called interesting shops to look at them, but unconsciously it was 4-5 o'clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, it was dark in this season, and they could still stroll around. meeting.

"Does this place sell wine? It's a bit rare." Alena and Lily stood under a sign, red, blue and green wine bottles formed the sign, and next to it was a line of words "Mugunghwa Winery".

"Go and see."

A few people walked in, Lily and Alena were full of interest, but Roland Hill walked out after looking around, she was not very interested in alcohol or anything.

"I'll wait for you outside."

"Uh-huh."

After she finished speaking, she walked out, and the fierce sunlight entered her field of vision again, so she slightly pulled the hat on her head, and then walked to the side alley, where it was not exposed to direct sunlight, and it was cooler and more comfortable.

Now that they are almost at the seaside, looking from the alley to the far exit on the other side, they can see the faint sea water, guardrails, and blue sky.

Since I didn't want to be too conspicuous, when I was out today, Roland Hill added a light coffee-colored coat. The style was similar to that of a short robe. A hood that can be pulled up when it rains or when the sun is fierce. The front is unbuttoned, revealing a part of the white skirt on the inside.

Seeing that Alena and Lily would not come out for a short time, Loren Hill leaned against the wall, raised one foot, and moved and relaxed a little.

"Hey."

A voice came from not far away, and the girl looked up for the voice and found a figure poking out from the third floor of a house in the alley. He stretched out his hand from the window and waved to Loren Hill below.

are you calling me? The girl was a little uncertain, but there was no one else here, and Roland Hill walked over with a little doubt.

The person who greeted him was a young man, about 20 years old, with a round face, and he looked like he was getting fat. When he saw the hooded man approach, he took out a rolled up blanket from the window and threw it down.

"Can you pick it up for me, this is too long, the stairs are too narrow, and it is inconvenient to move down." said the little fat man.

Roland Hill blinked, and while she was still thinking, the blanket had been thrown down, and then landed in front of her, raising a slight dust.

"Thank you, I'll come over later." Without waiting for Roland Hill to answer, the little fat man closed the window and seemed to be going downstairs.

Roland Hill stood here, a little hesitant. She turned her head and looked outside the alley. There were sporadic pedestrians walking through the street. Occasionally one or two swept across the alley. When she saw this figure standing beside the blanket, it was not too bad. Pay attention, and then continue to walk past.

After a while, a voice came out not far away.

"Mrs. Gold, I have cleaned your fireplace."

"Okay, this is your reward."

"Thank you, Mrs. Gold, you can come to me if you need anything in the future."

"Then I'll go first." Followed by the sound of brisk footsteps.

Not long after, the figure appeared at the entrance of the alley and walked over.

"Hey, good brother." After he came in, he looked at the untouched blanket and Roland Hill, relieved, and then approached.

When the distance between the two was only 5-6 meters, the little fat man could see Loren Hill's face clearly.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be a girl." He slowly stopped and rubbed his hair a little embarrassedly.

After hesitating for a while, he took out a purse from his arms, took out a few silver coins, and then handed the rest to Roland Hill.

"Thank you for your help, then I'll go first."

Seeing that Roland Hill didn't answer, he felt a little embarrassed, then put down the purse, picked up the blanket on the ground, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, where are you going to move this?" Lorraine Hill finally said, this little fat man is not the kind of guy who can't live with his muscles, why would he do such a thing.

"Actually I'm just a porter, moving it from one place to another," he explained as he turned his head.

"And then charge some more money?" Lorraine Hill looked at his defense with a funny look.

"Cough cough, handling is also a kind of physical exertion, so it shouldn't be too much to earn some money for it."

"but...."

Just when Roland Hill wanted to ask, Alena and Lily had already walked out of the store. They turned around the alley and walked over without seeing Roland Hill.

"So it's here, Lorraine." After the two walked over, they looked at the little fat man in front of him curiously.

"Ah, there's a money bag on the ground." Lily squatted down and picked it up, and the little fat man took advantage of this to quickly walk up, preparing to leave the alley.

"Where do you want to go?" Alena saw that something was wrong at a glance, she turned and jumped in front of the little fat man, blocking her way.

"I... I'm just working to support my family. Ladies and gentlemen, let me go." He looked at Alena who was so swift, knowing that the other party was not an ordinary person, and immediately begged for mercy.

"Hoho, to support the family, how many people in your family need you to come

keep? "Alena waved her fingers in disbelief.

"Really, I have an old sister who can't marry, a younger sister who is frail and sick and unable to survive, and a simple younger brother who is not deeply involved in the world, all of which are supported by me."

He explained with a bitter face, and then turned his head to look at Lily and Lorraine Hill, perhaps thinking that these two would be easier to talk to.

"Don't be deceived by him. You are too immature. At any rate, you say that you have an old mother in her 80s and a wife and daughter who are waiting to be fed." Alena reminded.

"That's too fake, giggle." Lorraine Hill laughed.

"But return the blanket, it's someone else's thing after all."

"No, I brought this on my own merit, why should I return it?"

"But, this is not a legitimate way." Lily said after counting her wallet, looking at the little fat man in front of her.

"What is the right way? The profiteer of this family is also smuggling, mistreatment and deduction of wages. There is no leakage, and his things are not earned through legitimate means. Why is he being open and fair, and I am not being fair, I can't do it." The fat man said angrily.

"Then you can sue him." Lily said simply.

"I'm just a small person, how dare I sue, and even if I have solid evidence, if I sue, I don't know where to lie down in a small corner the next day."

"Tell the sheriff."

"Then you want me to die."

...

The little fat man and Lily were arguing, and Alena looked at the scene and supported her forehead.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Didn't you say you still have to support your family? Take us to see your home."

"What are you doing?" The little fat man took two steps back vigilantly.

"Of course it's to verify the truth. If it's true, we'll spare you this time." Alena patted her chest and said. As the captain's daughter, she has a very flexible moral concept.
