Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 824

The green light is counting down and will disappear after a few seconds.

The driver is probably in a hurry.He figured he'd be able to get through before the switch if he didn't accelerate, so he wouldn't have to stop and start again.

Six seconds, five seconds... Very good, just able to catch up, the driver is in a good mood.

In three seconds, the driver's eyes widened suddenly, and then the sole of his foot slammed on the brakes—a woman walked out with a stroller.

It's impossible for her to pass, there are only two or three seconds left... Is this woman an idiot?She is still on the phone!Such a careless mother!

Because of the speed of the car, the car couldn't stop, and the driver's eyes widened in despair—however, when he crossed the sidewalk, he didn't seem to feel that he had hit anything.

The car finally stopped in an emergency at the intersection, and the driver hurriedly got out of the car to look back.

What I saw was the careless mother on the phone, who was being held by the arm of a young girl at the moment - she saved her.

"How do you walk!!" The driver came up with a growl, and he felt that he had to curse a few times to suppress his shock.

……

"I really appreciate you so much, God is grateful to you. My God..." The woman thanked Caroline excitedly.

She hugged the child in the stroller and kept kissing the child's forehead, "Oh... I'm sorry, baby, mom won't call when crossing the road in the future. Forgive me? Oh... I'm sorry, sorry."

Caroline watched silently.

Why did she reach out to give this woman a hand? She was still thinking about it.

Why did she see this scene in advance? At the same time, she deliberately started to panic about this question.

She has realized something... Something special seems to have happened to her.

"Miss! Please tell me your name and contact information." The woman seemed very grateful: "Please let me repay you well, otherwise I don't know that I should forgive myself for my carelessness."

Caroline opened her mouth, then thought for a while and said, "Then...can you treat me to breakfast? To be honest, I haven't had breakfast today."

"Of course! Of course, I'd love to!"

She grabbed Caroline's hand and said hastily, "It doesn't matter what you want to eat."

The feeling of being appreciated...so it was like this,

People like me also have times like this... to be grateful.

Caroline smiled self-deprecatingly.The smile looked a little weird to the child's mother, and she couldn't help but look at Caroline suspiciously—the child's mother only discovered that Caroline had clear bruises on her neck, as if she had been pinched out by someone.

And Caroline's eyeballs were bloodshot, as if she was wearing special colored contact lenses.

"Are... are you okay?" the child's mother asked subconsciously.

Caroline shook her head, maybe she could think of a reason to deal with it casually - for example, she was raped by her boyfriend, then escaped, and now she is penniless - maybe the child's mother would be more willing Do yourself a favor.

If she can get a little cash, she can even pass some pheasant carts and get out of the place for a while.

"I'm actually..." Caroline moved her lips, and was about to say a set of impromptu remarks, but she swallowed the words suddenly, and then changed her words: "I'm sorry, I can't eat breakfast, I'm in a hurry ..."

As she spoke, she ignored the call of the child's mother and hurried into the crowd.

The streets were bustling during rush hour, and Caroline quickly disappeared from the mother's sight.

The reason why Caroline ran away in a hurry was: she saw Arnold, and it seemed that Arnold... hurried past.

……

……

The man looked a little shy, and stopped in front of a mobile breakfast car, "Give me a cup of coffee."

The salesman in the car took a look. The man who bought the coffee had obvious bruises on his face. He should have had a fight with someone. There were wounds on his cheeks, probably from scratches during the fight. such as.

The salesperson didn't care.

There are not many people who are injured in fights in this place, "Sir, your coffee. Thank you for two reals."

He took out a bunch of loose coins from his pocket, picked out two, put them directly on the table, and left with his coffee—but he felt a sudden tap on his shoulder.

He turned around suspiciously, his gaze narrowed suddenly.

"Arnold! You're fine! It's really you! Great!" Caroline grabbed the man's arm, perhaps because of her joy, Caroline grabbed it very hard.

Caroline looked at the scars on the man's face at this moment, "How did you escape from Boston? Did they treat you later?"

She looked at the scars on A Nuo's face, and she didn't know how many times he was beaten up after she left, she felt a little apologetic in her heart.

The man... A Nuo was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "I escaped quietly while they were asleep. And you... are you okay?"

Caroline shook her head: "After they caught me out, I took a chance and escaped. But I think they won't let me go so easily."

A Nuo nodded and said: "Yes, Boston is ruthless, and he will definitely not let you go so easily...Have you thought about what to do next?"

Caroline said worriedly: "I don't know, maybe I want to leave here... I'm still trying to figure out a way. What about you? You finally escaped, what are you going to do now?"

A Nuo shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it either. But... I should be able to find a place to hide for a while. Otherwise, come with me."

Caroline frowned, and subconsciously asked, "Where?"

"University, we can go to the university to hide." Arnold quickly said: "I can temporarily stay with my classmates for a few days in the dormitory of the university!"

"University..." Caroline hesitated.

Arnold quickly said: "There are a lot of people there, and there are school guards, even if it's Boston, he doesn't dare to mess around!"

Caroline thought for a while, then nodded and agreed, "Alright."

……

……

Passing a row of luxurious villas, Song Haoran introduced the background of the people living here to Luo Qiu, "...Basically, they are all descendants of Spanish nobles. Because in the middle of the sixteenth century, this place became a Spanish colony This situation lasted for a long time. In fact, Cartagena once declined, and it was not until the 20s in the last world that it prospered again because of shipping."

Luo Qiu listened quietly.

"House?"

The car finally stopped in front of a building surrounded by tall walls, Luo Qiu looked at the plaque hanging in front of the door.

Song Haoran smiled and said: "This is written by my father, do you know why it is called a humble house?"

Luo Qiu shook his head.

Song Haoran said: "In the beginning this was where we lived, but in recent years my father has moved to another place. First, the environment there is better and more suitable for living. Second, it can avoid some unnecessary disturbances. This I have lived in a humble house for ten years. My father said that when our Song family first started, we had nothing. Our ancestor was an honest farmer in Bala. There was only a tile-roofed house with bare walls. When winter came, The cold wind can't even be blocked."

"have you been there?"

Song Haoran shook his head and said: "I went back to China a few times, and once I followed my father to find his hometown, but it was completely changed, and all I could find was a piece of barren grass."

"That's why I have a humble house." Luo Qiu nodded.

"That's why there is a humble house." Song Haoran smiled, and led Luo Qiu all the way in.

When several people passed the entrance named 'Dragon Hall', Oni and Lluvia stopped.The two of them did not go further, but there were servants in the humble house who came out to greet them, and they were all familiar faces.

Luo Qiu saw the butler of the humble house named 'Uncle Wu', a middle-aged man with gray hair, his expression and movements were very rigorous, and his meticulous attitude seemed to have a hint of British style.

Fifth Uncle asked Luo Qiu, and after looking at Luo Qiu's face, his expression was a little moved, but he didn't say anything, but became more respectful.

Song Haoran said that this fifth uncle had attended a school specializing in training butlers.

"Uncle Wu, this Mr. Luo is a distinguished guest of the humble house, you should greet him first." Song Haoran looked at Luo Qiu again and said, "Wait for me, someone will greet you, if you need anything, just ask Uncle Wu .”

Luo Qiu didn't ask Song Haoran why he left.

The humble house was completely built according to the alleys of the old capital. At this time, the side hall where Luo Qiu was located was also antique, and Fifth Uncle stood in front of Luo Qiu very respectfully—even if he was standing, it was just the right position. Do you know what you want to drink?"

"Give me a glass of water." Luo Qiu replied politely.

"Please wait a moment, honored guest."

Uncle Wu nodded, turned around and walked out without any dissatisfaction or unnecessary words.The side hall suddenly became quiet - because only Luo Qiu stayed here.

He casually picked up a book on the shelf next to it and read it. It was "History of Ming Dynasty" in the 24 histories.

footsteps.

"How can you treat a distinguished guest with only water?" a woman's voice.

Luo Qiu closed the book and turned around, only to see a woman with pink dyed hair, her hair coiled up, and wearing a cheongsam walking in slowly with a tea tray in her hands, smiling slightly.

The cheongsam woman put down the tea tray and said with a light smile, "Junshan Silver Needle, also known as 'Golden Inlaid Jade'. According to legend, its first seed was planted by Ehuang and Nvying, and it has been passed down since ancient times..."

The cheongsam woman began to take out the stove to live, boil water, wash tea, and her movements were gentle, like a tea picking girl in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. She said softly, "One day, when the second emperor of the later Tang Dynasty came to court, the courtiers held a cup for him to make tea. When the hot water was poured into the cup, a cloud of white mist rose into the sky. Suddenly, a white crane flew out of the white mist. The white crane nodded three times to Emperor Mingzong and danced towards the blue sky. Fly away. The emperor asked why, and the officials below replied: This is because the water from the Liuyi well in Junshan was used to soak the yellow feathers. And the yellow feathers are what we often call Junshan silver needles. From then on, Junshan silver needles The needles became the tribute tea specially offered to the emperor."

What was used was a tea bowl, containing the fragrance, the woman in cheongsam offered the tea bowl with both hands, and said softly, "Smell the fragrance."

Luo Qiu took the teacup from the woman in cheongsam, opened it for a look, then shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't really understand."

The boss is telling the truth - the maid has never brewed Kung Fu tea.Boss Luo felt that the black tea and scented tea made by the maid were already excellent, so he didn't ask for it.

The cheongsam woman was startled when she heard this.

Boss Luo took a sip directly, and said again: "It tastes good, where can I buy it?"

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. This is the highest priced tea that was auctioned at the tea art conference in Huaguo Tea Township five years ago. You can't buy it outside." It comes out to greet you."

"Thank you." Luo Qiu nodded.

The woman in the cheongsam suddenly said: "The humble house greets guests with services that are comparable to the top hotels. But for so many years, in the humble house, there have only been six times in total when you can be called a VIP in this humble house. .Do you know who the five distinguished guests in front are?"

"Of course it's the owner's friend here." Boss Luo thought for a while.

"There have been presidents of this country, there have been rich men who are important in the Chinese circle, and there have been tycoons who monopolize the arms business of a continent. They are all figures who can cause an uproar in the outside world by stomping their feet... Then, as the sixth guest of honor, you , who is it?"

So Boss Luo said directly: "I recently took over a small shop, and I usually sell things that other people need."

The cheongsam woman raised her face slightly, "What do you mean by something that others need?"

Boss Luo said: "That is to say, sell a little of everything."

"Do you have a business card?" she asked again.

Boss Luo shook his head and said apologetically, "I don't have a business card. But there is a voucher for guests, but I don't plan to give it to you for the time being, because Miss, you seem to be in good condition and you don't need anything, so I'm sorry. "

"Really? That's a pity." The cheongsam woman smiled slightly, and then said calmly: "Then, please sit down, distinguished guest, I'm going out."

She walked away like this.

Boss Luo smiled, sat down, and then picked up the tea bowl in his hand and looked at it. After that, the boss looked at a little Junshan Yinzhen that hadn't been used up yet.

He passed the container with his hand, and a container full of tea leaves appeared on the saucer, "Well, it should last for a long time."

Boss Luo smiled, and after snapping his fingers, the container full of tea leaves disappeared—a glass container appeared on the open club cabinet on the stairway.

"Has anyone been here already?"

At this time, Uncle Wu came in with a glass of clear water on a plate, looked suspiciously at a set of tableware next to Luo Qiu, and frowned, he could recognize what was inside, and already had some guesses about the visitor.

"Nothing." Luo Qiu smiled and said, "It's just that a young lady came to chat with me."

"I'm really sorry, honored guest." Uncle Wu hurriedly said, "It's because I didn't think carefully...that young lady didn't say anything to you, what are you doing?"

"No." Boss Luo shook his head: "If you have time, thank her for making me tea and telling me some allusions."

"Definitely, definitely." Fifth Uncle nodded.

He didn't know why he was nervous, but he felt that when the young man spoke calmly and without airs, it made people more nervous than when Master Song was angry.

Like the sea, the endless sea, hiding the undercurrents and eddies of no man's land.

I hope Ms. Sakura didn't have any conflicts with this distinguished guest.

Dad's Buddha jumping over the wall, Song Haoran personally sent the distinguished guests... and this young man's face, Uncle Wu actually already had some guesses in his heart...
