[One Piece] Almighty staff

A bit of coolness fell on Li Ya's cheeks, she raised her hand to wipe it, and softly told the first officer: "Let's burn more charcoal basins later, it's snowing."

The first mate responded and did not leave immediately.The slight sound of water droplets made this strong and sturdy old boatman tense his muscles. He looked at the dark sea again and again, and asked in a tense voice, "Aren't you going to turn on the lights?"

Only faint oil lamps were lit in a few conspicuous cabins on board, and the whole ship seemed to be in deep sleep.Leah also looked at the dark sea, but couldn't see anything.Lacking light reflexes, her pupils struggled to focus.

After silently counting the time, she insisted: "It's not yet time, just wait."

The murloc sailors on the ship discovered this natural bay, hidden on the side of the island.The murloc told Leah that there were traces of people's activities here, which seemed to be left recently: "This kind of half-sand half-water foothold, heavy humidity, and a bay that leads directly to the deep sea, generally only murlocs would be willing to come."

This small island is too small and inconspicuous, and it can barely hide the Lily Rose. The only special place is probably the misty red earth continent that can be seen from a distance.

Two-thirds of the roundabout is covered with reefs, if there were no murloc sailors to lead the way, they would probably run aground at the outermost edge.There is not even vegetation on the island, and it looks like a solitary limestone from a distance. It is a barren island with extremely scarce resources, and it is far away from the waterway. Combined with judgment, the island has almost no construction value.

There is a small transparent area next to the Tianlong people's front yard. The patrols of the Holy Land Mary Gioia who come down regularly to perform tasks are not uncommon to check here, so this small and small deep-water port has never been discovered.

Of course, it may not matter even if it is discovered, and the Tianlongren's subordinates probably don't care about a small bay on an abandoned island.

Therefore, it is quite reasonable to be used as a temporary hiding place by the fleeing murlocs.

Just in case, she originally planned to confirm the safety of Dorag Drake, and immediately returned to Marin Fando.Unexpectedly, after meeting Sakaski and learning about his secret thoughts, Leah decided...to try her luck.

A gust of cool breeze blew by, and Leah was keenly aware of the different breath: "Light up!"

The chief mate pressed the switch, and the headlights arranged around the periphery were all lit up, illuminating the deck as brightly as day.

A murloc stood bowed at the door of the small cabin where sundries were piled up. The dazzling light made him stop abruptly, and raised his hand to cover his face.

He only paused for a second or two, then immediately turned around and ran towards the side of the boat, trying to jump into the water.

Liya quickly ran down from the second floor with her skirt in hand: "Koloqi, stop him!"

The sailorman sailor jumped up and threw the cyan murloc on the edge of the boat. During the scuffle, the uninvited guest showed an overly young face, with green brows and eyes covered with panic and despair.

The young murloc was skinny and bony, with scars on his bluish-gray skin, but his strength was astonishing. Five or six strong crew members including Keluoqi couldn't hold back his struggle.

Someone next to him handed the hemp rope, but Ke Luoqi hesitated to receive it. A crew member urged him: "Hurry up! This kid is too strong, I won't be able to hold him down after a while!"

Liya just rushed to the front and waved her hands a little panting: "Don't tie, spread out."

Except for Keluoqi, everyone backed away a little, but intentionally or unintentionally, they still formed a circle, surrounding Leah and the young murloc. Sharp teeth.

The wind suddenly became stronger, and snowflakes rustled down the ground, falling into the back of the boy's neck, and he shivered in his thin clothes.Leah bent down and said to him: "There are search teams everywhere, and there should be many fugitive slaves nearby. I don't want to alarm the government and the navy. You must be too, right?"

The little murloc looked at her vigilantly, his eyes were full of disgust.

This is not the first time that Leah has been watched like this. Before being brought to the island, the redeemed slaves are like this, terrified and disgusted by all the free people in bright clothes, desperate and confused.

She has experienced it many times, but she is still stung by such eyes.

Leah kept smiling, as if facing all the islanders redeemed by her, with a soft expression and firm eyes: "Someone will take you to check your injuries in a while, then change your clothes and eat something. Keluoqi will always by your side."

As the only murloc crew member on the ship, the reason why Coloch is respected and loved by all the crew members is his tolerant heart and considerate personality besides his superb sailing skills.

The murloc boy looked at her hesitantly, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want?"

There was a bright red slave mark on his forehead, which was particularly glaring on his cool blue skin.

Liya resisted the urge to touch his algae-like turquoise short hair, and smiled gently: "We'll talk about this after you have rested."

The child's expression was a little uneasy, and she added: "Don't worry, I don't want your life or freedom. If nothing happens, you can leave tomorrow morning and go where you want to go."

After saying this, Liya didn't give him another chance to refute, and turned to go to the study.

The weather was really too cold, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger. Even the murlocs were not suitable for staying outdoors for a long time due to their wounds and mental weakness.

She asked people to turn off the headlights, and the Rose no longer curled up in this hidden water bay, and set sail towards her own mine island at a low speed.The generator on board ensures bright lights in several conspicuous cabins, and a large pot of fish porridge is always warming on the kitchen stove.

On a cold snowy night, with the government army and Marie Gioia's search team behind them, and the navy who may not be so serious—I don't know whether it will be a disservice to the government—

Such tense, wounded and physically exhausted slaves fleeing in all directions, when encountering a very ordinary-looking large merchant ship with a warm brazier and wafting the aroma of food, there are always a few hungry The little pitiful or the foolish and bold temporarily put aside the fear of being captured by the Tianlong people, and couldn't help but find a place to rest for themselves.

Just like the young murlocs who just boarded the boat, they would go straight to the small utility room in the corner that no one usually visits.

Liya sat at the table and opened the blueprint of the mine island.

After getting the mine island, she stopped the ore production business and transformed it into a foundry of various handmade foods. Leah invested a lot of money and manpower to improve the production and living environment on the island. The living conditions and spirits of the workers were improved. It is very stable, and the economic benefits of production are increasing day by day. The mine island has now developed certain results according to her predetermined plan, and has begun to take shape.

But now it seems that it can be expanded.

Under the folder was the newspaper that recorded the report of the murloc's escape from Marie Gioia. Leah read the short five lines again, her eyes drooping in thought.

To be honest, she always felt that the degree of integration between Fishman Island and the outside world was too low.He is obviously the darling of the sea, has a complete political structure and ethnic group size, and the average individual quality is far better than that of humans. From the perspective of geographical location, culture, and resources, there is no shortage of good development conditions, but the murlocs and mermaids are in this ocean. The world with an absolute advantage in size is so miserable.

Thinking about it, Liya sighed that it was a waste of money, what a good basic disk and population resource...

Due to the rare and fragmented views of the Tianlong people and their poor understanding of murlocs, few people have the idea of ​​wooing this group of people. Liya is very excited to try it.

About an hour later, as soon as Leah had finished going through the account books for the current month, Koloci knocked on the door.

The little murloc came in right behind him, most of his body was hidden behind Keluoqi's broad back, Keluoqi tried to give way several times, but the little murloc followed him like a shadow, stepping on his shadow, refusing to face Li behind the desk. Ya.

Leah pointed to a few chairs in the study with a gentle face: "Sit down."

Her small study often serves as a meeting room for several groups of people including the management staff on the island, Dorag, and Zefa teacher Drake. There are six or seven commonly used high-back chairs and a dozen smaller ones. round stool.

When there are many people, these large and small chairs will fill up the study room, so usually only two or three backrests are commonly used.For example, when teachers Dorag and Zefa come, there will be no specific placement.

Zephyr prefers the window seat; Drake likes to sit on her oblique right; Dorag likes to sit upside down, with his long legs spread apart and his arms draped over the back of the chair to talk.

I don’t know what he will be like in private 20 years later, but now Drago still has a young man’s unrestrained spirit, and he may show a more calm and wise side when facing his subordinates, but he seems much more casual with her. .

Kolocci picked a chair near the front and sat down. The little murloc hesitated for a second, and sat next to him. Lia saw that his buttocks were only touching one-third of the chair cushion. He realized that he had no doubt that if he made a big move like getting up, pouring water and stretching, he would immediately jump up and jump out of the window.

"Well, let me introduce myself first, what's your name?"

Liya casually picked up the pen and played with it in her hand. From time to time, she twirled it twice between her fingertips. The dome of the golden pen cap outlined a beautiful arc, successfully attracting the little murloc's attention.

His eyes froze on her fingertips for a moment before he replied in a panic: "Lane, uh, Osher Ryan."

Leah smiled and nodded: "Hello, Mr. Ryan. It feels like a very powerful name."

Lions of the ocean... sea lions?

"I'm Leah, Coloch should have introduced me to you."

Ryan kept looking at Koloch, and Koloch put his fists on his knees, and sat upright without squinting, silently restraining his sense of existence.

"Have you eaten yet?" Seeing that the little murloc was fidgeting, Liya turned to ask Keluoqi.

Coloch replied sternly: "I gave him a bowl of fish porridge. The ship doctor said that his stomach couldn't bear to eat too much at one time. The wounds on his body have also been treated. They are all skin traumas. His body temperature has returned to normal. There is nothing else. Difficult disease."

Workers on Liya Island have to have a physical examination before going to the island, and only those who are healthy can enter the factory, and everyone else must first recuperate from their illnesses on other islands.

Coloch was the first group of crew members to board the ship. He had been with Leah for a long time and knew her strict attitude towards the disease, so he tried his best to fight for better treatment conditions for the little murloc Ryan.

It's not that there is any serious difference in the treatment of sick workers and reservists, but the mental state of workers inside the factory is completely different from that outside.Coloch himself was happy to be among the workers in the factory.

It's cruel to say, but Leah never picks slaves who look like they won't survive.She told the servants of the Tianlong people who were doing business with her that the healthier and more healthy slaves are, the more valuable they are. If they are not in good health, they can only be bought and sold at a low price. If they look like they are about to die, they don't want to give her away for nothing.

"I like the ones that look clean, and the ones without scars are the best." She frowned and complained, "I will bring the doctor next time, last time two of them looked fine, but they died within a few days. Danielle, if you're so unkind, I'll change my family."

This is not a lie. At that time, two children really did not bear the pain and left.

They had been tortured for too long, and they could not hold on after escaping the Mordden.

The first child left suddenly, in the quiet and silent night, leaving safely in his sleep.

There are very few such young children on board, even a little younger than Lili, so everyone actually takes good care of them.

After losing one of them, the remaining little girls were more carefully protected.She has long, silky hair and lovely swirls, but it's painful to even breathe at the end.

Leah had to hold her in her arms, and kept stroking her head gently, telling her gently that it was okay and don't be afraid, until the little hair turned from hot to cold.

This is a very well-behaved and sensible child, weak and ignorant like a little lamb, who will lie on the window of the medical cabin to watch the clouds when the weather is good, and say hello to every passing crew member earnestly.

Leah didn't cry.

Even the well-trained ship doctor had tears in his eyes, and Coloch wiped his eyes several times.

In fact, she liked the child very much and even sang her a lullaby.

In the final hours, the child's clothes were neat, with a fragrance of lemon soap locust, and his face and body were scrubbed clean.Liya checked it carefully and found that there was nothing wrong, so she got up and ordered to take care of the funeral.

"Fortunately, today is a fine weather."

After she finished speaking, she trimmed the child's hair, got up and went back to the study.

Later, she took out more money to buy "healthy" slaves, and the construction plan on the island was delayed for a while.

She chose her slaves more carefully, occasionally picking up a leak, and buying ten free ones that didn't look so strong.After a few times, the slaves she could buy seemed healthier.

The number of slaves that can be mobilized by each Tianlong servant is fixed and limited. There are not many slaves that they can decide to "replace and eliminate". There is no other way to get more slaves except to take good care of the slaves under their care.

After all, not all servants can get the lucrative job of buying and capturing slaves.

According to the results of Leah’s long-term investigation, there are also serious competitions and infighting within the servant family. Maybe some purchasers and managers will cooperate and communicate, but there is no close relationship. Once the news of the second slave trade is secretly Being mastered by others, the consequences can be imagined.

Sometimes she would buy a few more on purpose, and bring them back to the boat for a turn before sending them back.Tell the trade partner that there are too many goods on the ship, and there is no room for more, and they need to be stored in Marie Gioia, and she will pay the care fee to let them ensure that the "goods" they bought are in good condition, so that she can pick them up next time.

The slaves in the hands of a servant are all managed together, as long as one person brings back the hope of life, the will of others will be stronger.

Dorag has seen her practice, and after following her several times to buy back batches of slaves that are healthier and easier to manage, he looks at her differently.

All the crew respected their captain, who looked very young and weak, but Leah could also feel a faint awe.

When she quickly learned to keep smiling in the face of all kinds of evil deeds of the Tianlong people's servants, she could also calmly accept the death of the slaves who had finally bought back;

Even when some slave-born workers on the island gathered to rebel and tried to usurp power, seek wealth and kill, she was able to rationally and ruthlessly suppress these people who she had poured her heart and soul into without mercy. At trial and ruling.

So she can also understand Coloch's psychology at this time.

From his point of view, she was probably a very principled leader who would never make an exception for anyone, nor would she accept any intercession.So Coloch didn't even dare to show too much care for this fellow.

Liya could only helplessly say, "Koloqi, are you thinking too much?"

Koloch innocently blinked his black and white fish eyes at her.

Leah: "...I don't think Ryan wants to stay."

"Ah," Coloch reacted, and scratched the base of his dorsal fin embarrassingly: "I forgot, I subconsciously thought..."

Leah turned to Ryan: "That's right, Mr. Ryan, I want to ask you a few questions."

Ryan clutched his new padded jacket awkwardly: "... Just call me Ryan."

He could see that the communication between Keluoqi and this human being was natural and relaxed, which added a little bit of trust.

However, Leah went on to say: "I want to learn about the situation on Fishman Island through you."

Ryan was so nervous that his hair stood on end immediately: "You, do you know what Murloc Island wants to do?"

Leah smiled very kindly: "I heard that the seafood and pearls of Fishman Island are of good quality. I want to visit King Neptune of your Fishman Island in the near future and try to establish cooperation. If things go well, we can provide fishman island with Lots of jobs."

Coloch was shocked. He didn't know that the captain had such a plan beforehand, but he steadied himself and didn't show any abnormality.

Ryan was stunned.

He didn't even bother to question the authenticity of Leah's words, and stammered: "But you are human, how can I, us, Murloc Island cooperate with humans?"

"Why not? There's no law that stipulates that humans and murlocs can't do business." Leah showed a sincere smile, and her beautiful blue eyes also elongated into smiling fox eyes.

Ryan is very wary of humans, but maybe because of his young age, he has not been captured as a slave for a long time, so the exchange (set) (talk) only lasted 10 minutes, and Leah got the little murloc All the information that can be spit out.

"It's too cold, you should have a good rest tonight." Liya got up, took the opportunity to touch Ryan's hair in a friendly manner, and said kindly: "Of course, if you have friends who escaped together and need help, you can also Bring it here. Whether it's an injury or a hunger, I can help."

Ryan hesitated visibly.

Leah patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think too much about it, just take it as an expression of your stance for visiting Fishman Island. If you're worried, I'll leave this matter to Coloch alone."

Ryan grabbed the sleeves of his warm padded jacket and swallowed.

Ke Luoqi, who was watching the whole process, swallowed quietly.He believes in the captain's ability, but he is both happy and sad about the captain's plan to establish a friendly cooperation with his hometown.

The happy thing is that he believes that through Leah, the Murloc Island will open up more and wider survival paths. Maybe when the Murlocs communicate with the whole world, the situation of their Murlocs will also develop in a better direction; the worry is... this matter The matter was quite difficult, and he knew very well how deep the prejudice between humans and murlocs was.

However, the friendship and respect Coloch himself gained on this ship and on the island made him firmly believe that humans and murlocs can coexist peacefully, but the world government and the hateful Tianlong people gave people too many mistakes guide.

The expressions of Ryan and Keluoqi fell into Leah's eyes. She didn't say anything, and sent them out of the study with a smile.

Zefa once exclaimed: "Leah, I didn't see it before, you are a natural leader. Where did you set up, your charter, your law, come from? Naval Academy I can't teach you these things."

Leah smiled back at this.

To govern a country, the system is very important, the values ​​are very important, the direction is very important, and the law is also very important.

In fact, if a serious middle school student came to the island to do these things, he would probably be able to make a good appearance.Of course, college students who are more knowledgeable outside the house may do better.

In Europe and the United States, only the elite can easily obtain the "imperial art" with wealth and social status. China has taught it collectively since junior high school. The opening of the ideological and political journey has taught many students to be in a trance.

Similar books and histories can be found everywhere in any library or bookstore of any size, and the differences between the systems are so huge that they are not even afraid of foreign countries stealing lessons.If they dare to learn, China will be able to say that it will be of great benefit to the world.

A system that can manage a country that occupies nearly one-fifth of the world's total population in an orderly manner and ranks first in the world in terms of public cohesion, her superiority and pirate culture are absolutely incomparable.Time will prove everything.It was in the past, and it is here.

Leah has enough theoretical knowledge and real cases in her mind to deal with all the problems that have happened when the system is established, and the problems that may have happened but have not yet happened.The so-called rebellion of some workers, to be honest, she was also psychologically prepared and made a plan very early.

Mr. Lu Xun said that I have never been afraid to speculate on the Chinese with the worst malice.These words are actually a little biased. Open up the pattern a little bit and raise it to a higher level. Leah thinks it can be applied to all human beings.

She has always been unafraid to speculate on human beings with the worst malice. Human nature is complicated, and there are always some people who choose to inspire the evil side, which is nothing unusual.She has always insisted on maintaining integrity and kindness, but she does not expect everyone to be grateful and have kind thoughts, so when things come, she can handle them appropriately.

It's just that I'm really tired.

She doesn't have the innumerable talent reserves of the motherland, and every public office has a lot of talents fighting for it. She is really good!lack!people!Although efforts have been made to cultivate a group of management, things can never be finished.The more we go forward, the more difficulties will emerge one after another, and the speed at which problems arise is far greater than the speed at which they can be solved.

At first Liya thought that money was the biggest problem, but now she realized that the problem that money can solve is really not a problem.

She needs a den... She means, a place of her own, after carefully selecting and spending a lot of money in the corners, she got two islands;

She needs a means of transportation that can be used for transportation and going out, and she can buy ships and weapons to deal with pirates with money;

She needs building materials for the construction of the factory, just spend money;

And from her need to buy slaves, deal with the servants of the Tianlong people, appease the psychological problems of a large number of slaves, treat their physical health problems, establish a management mechanism, do ideological education for the workers, practice ideological and political theory... and so on. At first, Leah broke herself into eight pieces, and each piece was used to break 1 minute into 2 minutes, which was not enough time and energy.

This seriously affected her physical and mental health.Who knew that at first she just wanted to have a territory of her own, and she bought slaves just to help some poor people as much as she could. Besides, as long as the slaves bought back were properly adjusted, they would be more loyal when they regained their status as free people.

Leah didn't quite understand where things started to change, and she also broke down in her heart and asked where her ambition started.

But when she began to worry about buying the equipment, machines and raw materials needed for the factory to start, and creating a good working and living environment, people's livelihood facilities, and entertainment venues for the workers, she had to be careful not to be noticed by others. When there is something special, there is no time to waste energy on entanglement and regret.

In any case, there is definitely something wrong with developing a career.What's more, the super big chip of Sakaski has been added now.

An hour later, the first officer came to report that three more murlocs and two mermaids had arrived on board.

Liya held the pen to express her understanding, and regretted that she couldn't go and see those beautiful mermaid girls in person.

Except for Coloch and the two ship doctors and cooks, she ordered no one to get close to those vigilant and sensitive sea people.

After scribbling and correcting the plan for two or three hours, Liya closed the pen cap with satisfaction, and was about to stretch when a sharp dagger was pressed against her throat.

"What do you want to do to those murlocs and merfolk?"

The arm holding her was wet and cold, showing a dark red color under the light.Leah also smelled a not very strong smell of blood...and fish.

Leah replied calmly: "Cure their wounds, provide them with a warm meal and warm clothes. If they want, you can also take them for a ride, and find a safe place to disembark them at dawn .”

"Hmph," the breath from the robber behind him was also cold: "Liar, human beings are not so kind."

Leah slowly raised her eyelids: "I don't agree with what you say."

"Mr. Fisher Tiger," the blue eyes met the red-skinned murloc on the glass of the bookcase opposite the desk: "Do you think you are not human?"

Tiger was stunned for a moment.

These eyes are very similar in color to Princess Otohime of Murloc Island.

Leah wasn't too flustered.

The crew on the ship was carefully selected, especially the group that followed to Marie Gioia, each with two brushes in their hands, especially the first mate and the cook.One of the ship's doctor's assistants is very skilled, but his main role is not to care for patients' wounds.

With them guarding them, it was impossible for Fisher Tiger, who was injured and exhausted, to "save" the six murlocs by himself.

"I think maybe Mr. Fisher also needs treatment and food." Leah didn't have a smile on her face, only serious eyes, and a little tiredness that couldn't be concealed: "I can understand your love for your compatriots, but I still suggest you Let go of me first. Holding an unarmed woman hostage based solely on my own assumptions is not what I thought Fisher Tiger would be."

Tiger felt that he might indeed have exhausted his energy too much.He actually felt that this little girl was somewhat similar to their princess, but there was an obvious difference in the similarity.

Although Princess Otohime disagreed with his political views, and he even felt that the princess was too naive at first, the actions of the princess did have far-reaching significance for the murlocs.So even though he still disapproves, Tiger respects Princess Otaki very much.And this human being, how could, how could it be similar to the princess?

Thinking of this, Fisher Tiger looked at those calm blue eyes for a while, then slowly let go of his hand, and took two steps back.

------

In the dense forest of Kebo Mountain, the little curly Lili carried a bamboo basket on his back and moved nimbly through the woodland full of twisted tree roots and thorns.

In the depths of the jungle, there are several pairs of green eyes, spying on the swift and fat human cubs with malicious intent.

Wild beasts are common in the mountains, and there are also many ferocious beasts.Ferocious apes, boa constrictors as thick as buckets, cruel wolves and lone tigers, each of these beasts has its own territory.

And Lili ran forward stepping on the junction of several sites. According to the unspoken rule that the beasts have long agreed not to invade each other, easily stepping into an owner's site will be regarded as a provocation, which will easily lead to conflicts among the beasts. deathmatch.

The climate in the East China Sea is relatively mild most of the time, and Kebo Mountain has a good ecological environment and rich species resources.Without worrying about food and drink, no beast is willing to spend a lot of time and energy to provoke struggles between different ethnic groups.

So even if you are greedy for a plump prey, you can only watch your neighbors run away in secret.

Lili quickly found two little friends who were beating gangsters with water pipes outside the city full of rubbish mountains. Greeting: "Ace! Sabo! Lilly said to invite us to eat meat!"

Ace had just finished a scuffle, squatting dirty and gasping on a broken box. Hearing this, he gave him a disgusted look, then turned to Lili and asked, "Why did you bring this brat out?"

Lili took out a handkerchief, pressed Ace to rub his face: "I promised Leah to take care of Luffy ╮(‵▽′)╭"

Ace struggled: "What are you doing! I don't want to wipe it... let me go!"

Sabo himself had a handkerchief, and he had wiped off the sweat stains on his forehead long ago. He ignored Ace's plea for help and asked Lili, "You want to invite us to dinner? Why?"

If Ace said he wanted to treat him to dinner, he wouldn't ask politely.

Of course, the relationship between Ace and Sabo is stronger than that of Lili who just came here not long ago. Lili doesn't care too much. He has quite a lot of friends, but few of them can have a better relationship with him than Rossindi. .Lili feels that he understands this sort of friendship~╰(*?︶`*)╯

After wiping Ace clean, Lili took out clean clothes from under the basket and distributed them to the two of them. Luffy didn't need them, so he changed them for Luffy before going out.Hearing Sabo ask him, Lili replied proudly: "If you want to invite him, please invite him. There is no reason."

What Lili didn't say was that he still felt that he was the oldest boy among the four, which was a rare situation, usually he was the youngest one.In order to show his bearing as a big brother, of course he must treat his younger brothers to a big meal!

This is how Liya entertained his new friends in the past, and each of them would take a bag of fried meatballs with them when they went back!

With pride, Lili led his friends into the city smoothly with his white and fat image, neat clothes, swaggering posture and confident attitude, and found the largest and most luxurious restaurant.

At the same time, in the distant new world, the first mate knocked on the door and entered Leah's study with a thick purse.

"I found it in Lili's room during the cleaning. Is this his?"

Liya took it and looked at it: "Ah, it is indeed his. What a carelessness, the pocket money given to him and his own savings are all here."

First officer: "What can we do?"

"It doesn't matter, he has regular change, as long as he doesn't want to eat a big meal or something on a whim, it's enough to buy toys and snacks."

Leah put the money bag into her drawer, intending to return it to Lili when he came back.
