[One Piece] Almighty staff

Ivan the Great is the largest country in the North Sea and the most powerful country in the non-alliance countries in the world.

But even though King Vladimir the Great attached great importance to the fertility rate, raised the status of women in the country, and protected the rights of children, and formulated strict laws for this purpose, the red light district centered on Ivan Kingdom and radiating to the surrounding area is still the most beautiful in the North Sea. Dense.

No way, while Great Ivan is the most powerful country in Beihai, it also means that this is the region with the largest population, the richest economic wealth per capita, and the largest flow of people in Beihai.

Although it was not what Ivan the Great wanted, the largest port in Beihai owned by Ivan received a large number of floating population, which attracted a large number of customers who paid for the largest nearby red light district, and in turn drove other industries to make profits and revitalize the regional economy. Make the prosperous zone more and more lush.

It's hardly a mutual benefit.

But the so-called red light district has never been a resource that ordinary people can grasp.As another form of the human-trafficking industry that Leah was obsessed with getting a hand in, it represented pretty staggering profits.

The oil squeezed from the bodies of countless young and beautiful women and a small number of men fed the manipulator's aristocratic businessman to a mouth full of oil.And Liya has not been able to do it so far.

Because behind this industrial chain, there are powers all over the world.

Putting all the contacts and assets accumulated, she is not sure that she can shake this industrial chain.

Population development is also the fundamental lifeblood of a country. It does not even require a complete ban. It only needs to control the red light district, which is good for the population growth of any area.But honestly, she couldn't even find a worthy ally.

At least in the age of the Great Pirate, no country in the world was willing to completely annihilate, or dare to blatantly expel, and have the strength to completely clear the existence of the red light district.

With Vladimir's cruel means, it only shuts the largest red light district in the North Sea out of the country, so that it can only be located on a small island near Great Ivan, only one hour away from the largest port of Great Ivan .

So if she wanted to change the rules as soon as possible, she could only make the changes first.

After dark, twenty or so tall figures in black cloaks surrounded the petite figures and marched into the intersection of the red light district.

The night hides many subtle flaws, and the wind is mixed with unspeakable joy and hustle and bustle, throwing their brains on the faces of passers-by. The air is mixed with various perfumes and wines, forming a special smell that permeates the entire area.

Huge fonts with flashing colored lights are embedded in the iron-black carved frame, and a long list of names hangs in the sky above the street intersection.

With just one face-to-face meeting, the largest red-light district in Beihai can give port visitors from different sea areas the most straightforward and enthusiastic five-sense impact, and all unsuspecting customers will be caught off guard in the restless atmosphere of feasting and feasting.

"Kalinava...Swabdei...Street."

She stopped, raised her head to reveal the snow-white half of her face under the cloak, opened her red lips and slowly read out the long list of names.

The black cloak of the guards followed her and stopped, protecting her on the side of the street. The young man near the inner circle of the protection circle muttered: "What a complicated name."

"Free carnival—that's what the sign means."

The red-haired girl with a cigarette in her hand strode closer. On a chilly spring night, her navel-baring vest and thin slim-fit trousers did not seem to keep her warm at all.The girl seemed unconscious, with two misty smoke rings spewing out from her flaming red lips, and she greeted the black-haired Leah calmly through two layers of human shields: "It's on time, miss."

She nodded with the hand holding the cigarette and nodded at the sign above: "It doesn't need to be so complicated, abbreviations are fine, pick obvious words, or just call it Heijie, Youying District... It's fine, anyway, everyone can understand it."

The black-haired Leah listened carefully to the other party's suggestion, and looked up at the flickering signboard. After a while of flickering, the three characters with the most brightness were: "Ka, Wai?"

Girl: "..."

Bodyguards: "..."

Withdrawing her gaze, she turned her head to reveal most of her face, and greeted her friendlyly: "Good evening, Miss Annie."

Girl: "Just call me Annie—welcome to Karinava."

She made a point of emphasizing the last few words.

Eight o'clock in the evening is still a very early time for the red light district, and the traffic on the street is far from reaching its peak at this time.But no matter how low-key the black-haired Leah and her bodyguards stepped aside, they still attracted a lot of attention.

On both sides of the broad street, there are rows of doors that are either plain and hidden or flamboyant, and women of all colors look at them from the light and shade.

The island is very windy, and people standing outside are basically wearing soft or colorful coats and cloaks, while women who are leisurely leaning indoors wear bold clothes, showing curves outside the key areas.

The black-haired Leah slowly scanned the scenery along the way, seeing these shops, large or small, with different styles but unified atmosphere.

Regardless of the business nature, the architectural arrangement of Karihuana is very colorful and exquisite and beautiful. According to the distance from the outside to the inside, they have a very clear distinction of consumption levels-in general, they are of great ornamental value.

Ordinary merchants do not have such layout taste and construction resources.

Annie was surrounded by bodyguards and entered the second floor. Although there were still two people separated from the black-haired Leah, Yishui's tall and strong body blocked the cool night wind tightly. .

"It seems that you don't plan to sneak in in disguise."

She pinched her cigarette and walked to a position a little ahead to lead the way.

The black-haired Leah said in a regretful tone, "I'm not in good health, and the people around me are stricter."

If it wasn't for the strong objection of the first officer, she really planned to disguise herself as a special service woman in the red light district and sneak into the destination with a few people.

Now a group of people are walking on the street, any secret plan can only be squandered, and the black-haired Leah can only temporarily activate another plan.

"Annie, you said earlier that you wanted to buy a house in Great Ivan, have you saved enough money?"

The destination is deep in the center of the red-light district, and the journey before arriving is relatively long. The black-haired Leah chats with Gergo and Annie through the first officer.

Annie: "Not yet."

"Then what are your plans after entering the country?"

In addition to a generous reward, the brunette Leah promised a letter of recommendation for naturalization from Great Ivan.For this extremely attractive deal, Anne turned down all other things during this period, and performed her duties wholeheartedly.

Annie's tone was casual: "Just do what you're doing."

The woman with a soft face frowned, her eyelashes curled up and stretched, showing clear confusion.

Anne could see the subtext behind her expression at a glance: If you want to make a living in the same way, is there any difference between naturalizing Ivan and staying in Karinava?Even Great Ivan's domestic customer resources are far inferior to Kalinava's.

Annie pinched the cigarette case in her pocket, but still stuffed it back: "Women from the Ivan family, even if they are wandering warblers, are protected by strict laws."

Therefore, they will not be maimed and killed by random play, and the probability of suffering unprovoked violence will be greatly reduced.

In other words, the safety factor and living environment have been greatly improved.

She has seen enough of the virtues of a lot of men, and she is a widow and has no big ambitions, just want to live a more comfortable life.

The black-haired Leah understood: "That's it."

She thought for a while: "Now there are some changes in Great Ivan, and you may have more choices then."

Many of the domestic policy news of Great Ivan are not deliberately reported to foreign countries.So the black-haired Leah didn't say much, but just mentioned something casually.

For women in the red-light district who are not out of the current situation, those redundant explanations are completely unnecessary.

But if she can successfully become a naturalized Ivan the Great, this unobvious message may point her in the right direction to a certain extent.

Anne is an independent warbler under the name of a certain big shop.

There are quite a few women around Kalinava who don't want to sell themselves completely to the red light district, but can only earn a few bucks in this way.

They have more freedom of movement, as long as they pay the name fee to the place they are affiliated with every month, how they make money and where they go to make money are not too restricted.

Annie usually makes money mostly by running errands and pimping. She is a native of Beihai, and her birthplace is very close to the red light district. She has accumulated some contacts over the years, and she can barely get by with some small jobs of collecting intelligence.

However, if she encounters a generous and pleasing customer, she will use her profession to make a few orders.Annie has a few regular customers. Apart from entertaining old customers in the private room of the affiliated store, she can do her activities freely, which does not affect her to take on other chores.

For example, explaining the internal situation of Karinava to the black-haired Leah who is a part-time tour guide in the red light district.

The brunette Leah paid generously enough, and her reward was conscientiousness.

"Here, this is the place you were looking for."

The layout of the red light district is from low to high from outside to inside.

The closer to the center, the larger the space between the buildings, the wider the footprint, and the more distinctive the personality.

But no matter how unique most buildings are, as a local industry, the style tends to be harmonious and consistent.

Therefore, it becomes more and more obvious that the wooden-looking courtyard house in front of you is obviously shorter than the local buildings.

The black-haired Leah looked at the wind chimes under the eaves and raised her eyebrows: "The wind in the North Sea should not be so gentle."

The wooden buildings of the Japanese style cannot withstand the impact of years of wind and snow in the North Sea.

The first officer stood closest to her, and subconsciously replied after hearing the words: "It should be just the outer decoration, and the inner material cannot be this kind of wood."

Of course, wooden houses are everywhere in Beihai. Although the people here are tougher, the wealth will not flow from the hands of the nobles to the common people.

The materials and structure of the common wooden houses in Beihai are very different from those in warm climate areas. They are mainly solid and heavy, which is not comparable to this light and airy style that pays attention to style and atmosphere.

The tea room named 'Sakura' is in sharp contrast with the surrounding gorgeous and graceful courtyard houses.

To use a more figurative metaphor to describe it, it is probably like a Yamato Nadeko in a light-colored kimono mixed into a party of noble mistresses.

The mistresses are gorgeous, proud and lively, while Fukoko is elegant, submissive and reserved.

Out of place.

The black-haired Leah patted the shoulder of the person beside her: "Go and knock on the door."

Gergo: "Yes... huh? Shall I go?"

The black-haired Leah gave him a strange look: "Is there a problem?"

Gergo asked cautiously: "Captain, this tea room is also..."

Annie laughed from behind: "Of course it's also a brothel. What are you thinking brother, this is the number one red-light district in Beihai."

Geer Ge babbled: "No, it's not good, Captain, I still want to marry a wife in the future..."

Gergo, eighteen years old, the second generation of the two islands, with good roots and full marks for male virtue.

Black-haired Leah: "Just knock on the door, you won't lose your virginity."

The first mate coughed twice, suppressed the voice of the island owner, and gave Gergo a hard push: "Stop talking nonsense, go!"

Forced to step forward, Geerge resolutely slammed two punches on the crisp paper door, and then immediately rushed back behind the black-haired Leah.

He doesn't care about the teasing eyes and ridicule of other companions, this place just makes him feel uncomfortable.

The door was quickly pulled open.

The delicate and petite young girl knelt by the door and lowered her head submissively: "Good evening, who are you?"

Obviously, she should be a role similar to hospitality, always guarding near the door, ready to welcome guests at any time.

Annie reminded the black-haired Leah in a low voice: "Their family usually requires an appointment."

The black-haired Leah nodded, and stepped out of the circle of bodyguards, with the first officer following closely behind her.

She bent down, put her palms on her knees, looked directly into the girl's eyes and said softly, "I don't have an appointment."

Girl: "I'm sorry..."

Brunette Leah: "But we're going in."

The girl froze for a moment, and opened her slightly lowered eyes to look at the other party.

Under the cloak was a warm and harmless face, that face was gentler than any oiran in their courtyard, but his attitude was tough and could not be refuted.

The girl's eyes avoided her shiny black pupils, and her voice weakened a bit: "...please wait a moment."

The first officer suddenly reached out and blocked the paper door that was about to be closed with a bang.

The black-haired Leah stood up straight and looked at her with a smile: "I'll wait here."

The first mate is really reliable at all times and she is very satisfied.

Luo Ying tea room is going to receive distinguished guests tonight, the mothers of the girls in the correctional school got out of the arrangement, and hurriedly appeared in front of the black-haired Leah, raised her jaw slightly reservedly, and smiled faintly: "I'm afraid our tea room will not be able to receive you tonight ,Miss."

The black-haired Leah curled her lips, her smile was as gentle as a spring breeze: "It doesn't matter, we want to go shopping by ourselves."

As she said so, she raised her hand and pointed her fingers backwards, the pure black cloth of the cloak slipped down her arm, and the orange candlelight from the tea room at night shone like snow on her forearm.

More than 20 tall and strong black cloaks stepped forward, and the silent approach was full of oppression.

Mama-san's face was ugly.

Luoying also has bodyguards from the guard house, a few more than the black cloaks in front of him, but this situation cannot be solved with a large number of people.

Compared with Mama Sang's hometown, Beihai is a rough and terrifying barbarian place in her heart.But how capable these barbarians are in fighting, and how terrifying the battles are, my mother Sang has also seen it after operating in Beihai's No. [-] red light district for several years.The guards thugs she hired were also famously fierce in this area, but the group of people in front of her was obviously even more unfathomable.

Comparing her thugs with the other party, there is probably as big a difference between street gangsters and wanted pirates.

Originally, their Yingluo tea room was not so easy to provoke, but unfortunately, the adults behind Mama Sang were copied by Big Ivan and Haijun a while ago, and most of Beihai’s industry was destroyed. Now they are still hiding in the new world and dare not come back, so I repeatedly told her Keep a low profile.

The honored guests to be entertained today will determine whether the owner of this tea room can recover in Beihai again, and she dare not make trouble at this time.

The black-haired Leah watched as the other party slowly retracted his chin, and tightened his folded hands in front of his abdomen.

"Today's shop has been booked out, why don't we arrange another time for you..."

A heavy purse was thrown into her arms, and the black-haired Leah stepped into the door and took off her cloak hat: "Please arrange someone to lead the way, we will finish shopping and leave as soon as possible."

Mama Sang's face turned blue when she was blocked, and the ambiguous warm light in the room painted her stiff face a bit hideous.

"What's the matter, don't you want to do my business?"

The woman who took off her cloak looked gentle and weak, with affectionate eyebrows and eyes, and two strands of black hair hanging down her forehead, making her face gentle and tender.

Mama-san, who has a lot of experience in seeing beauties, was dazzled by such a soft and mature style, and then her face became even uglier.

Wearing such a skin, I don't know how cold and arrogant he looks underneath.

Mom Sang forced a smile: "Of course not, I will arrange it for the guests."

If she dared to say no, the other party might force her way in.

Since she is willing to pay, it means that this group of people is not completely unreasonable, so it is better to let this woman do what she wants, and get rid of this group of people as soon as possible after taking the other party to visit.

The distinguished guests only stayed in the tea room in the front yard. Before the time came, she arranged for people to visit the front yard first. No matter how carefully they visited, when the distinguished guests arrived, they should already be in the backyard.

I just hope that the other party is a young lady who has nothing to do to entertain and satisfy curiosity, and has no other purpose.

On the surface, their Luoying tea room was stable, but in reality they couldn't bear any setbacks.

The black-haired Liya swaggered into Luoying with her subordinates and Annie.

Before entering the door, Annie was a little surprised: "Shall I go in too?"

Usually at this time, she can find a place outside and wait.

Black-haired Leah: "Huh? Don't you want to see it?"

Anne was certainly interested.

Luo Ying Tea House is completely different from other shops, it has its own style, on the surface it is polite to their local shop, but in fact, everyone can feel the other's faint superiority and contempt.

The women in the red-light district eat a meal of observing their words and serving others, and they can't see this kind of duplicity.

But the feeling was just a feeling, the people in Luoying Teahouse just didn't want to associate with other people, and they didn't do anything else.In addition, to be able to open a store in the central area of ​​Kalinawa, the people behind it must be important, and no one wants to offend.

As time goes by, fewer and fewer people are willing to deal with this store, and Luoying is still different from others.

Annie's famous shop owner sneered when talking about her mother Sang: "The guy who can't figure it out doesn't even know what he is, so don't worry about it."

Annie followed the black-haired Lia in openly. Seeing that her mother Sang dared not speak out, she felt very relieved.

Like a group of tourists who bought tickets to enter the park, the brunette Leah and the curious subordinates neatly and carefully looked at almost every private room in the front yard.

The reason for saying almost is because there are two rooms that are not allowed to enter, and it is Keiko, a girl in green kimono who is at the front door, who acts as a tour guide.

After visiting the small kitchen where food and drinks are prepared, the flower room where flowers are arranged, the tea warehouse where tea utensils are prepared, and the largest private room that is about to receive guests, the black-haired Leah led the people, stuck in the time point, and followed in a hurry. Keiko, whose forehead was sweating, walked to the backyard.

Mother Sang was guarding the entrances and exits of the front and back yards. Seeing them finally come, her tense face was visibly relaxed.

Listening to the report from the little girl who was watching, this group of people really just looked around, and they have been acting collectively, no one wandered away from the group, so Mom Sang breathed a sigh of relief.

The little girl was vigilant: "Mom, are they trying to steal the teacher? What if we follow Luo Ying to open a shop?"

After all, that lady is so arrogant and bold, she must not be short of power or money, and it is not difficult to open a shop.

Mother Sang said contemptuously: "If you want to learn, just learn. The soul of a teahouse is a geisha. Is it possible that this kind of barbaric sea area still expects to cultivate elegant geisha and oirans who are sought after by big shots like works of art? "

The black-haired Leah didn't hear this, and if she heard it, she would only agree with what Annie's proprietress said: how could a guy who can't figure it out be assigned to manage a geisha academy in the center of the red-light district?

Perhaps it was because the group of black-haired Leah were not looking for trouble. It really seemed that the eldest lady was out for fun. Mom Sang's courage came out again, and she spoke with thorns: "Miss's appearance is really rare and beautiful. Just because of this You have a face, even if you are old, if you are a geisha, you will be welcomed by Gion."

The 40-year-old well-maintained former geisha and current mother Sang pretended to be reserved and covered her mouth with a smile: "It's a pity, Miss's bones are too hard, and her personality is also tough. Presumably the family is a businessman, and I love you very much, so I don't want to part with you." Teach some women merits."

The black-haired Leah has black hair and black eyes, with soft facial features and an ethnic appearance. Mother Sang automatically substitutes the regional background, insinuating that her family is a nouveau riche and uneducated, and that she is not submissive enough as a woman.

Except for the black-haired Leah, only the first mate and Anne could hear her sarcasm.

The first officer remained silent, waiting for the island owner to play.Annie was not used to it at all, and opened her red lips: "Auntie, next time, put less powder on your face, the powder will fall off as soon as you speak, and the wrinkles won't be able to pinch it."

The black-haired Leah waited for Annie to finish her attack with a smile, and said, "Don't talk about Annie like that, even if you think it's ugly, it's a characteristic of their family. The guests are willing to tolerate, and you, as a colleague, You shouldn't laugh at people."

Mom Sang: "You..."

Black-haired Leah: "But you're right. I'm lucky. I'm born with a hard bone. I can't do your job."

She covered her mouth, imitating the tone of her mother Sang, and then she ignored the other party's face that was blue with anger, and walked straight to the backyard.

Annie was at the back of the line, her voice was neither high nor low, drifting faintly: "What are you pretending to be, idiot."

They walked a long way before they reached the backyard.

The black-haired Leah prefers to call this place "You Kuo".

The whole of Yingluo is essentially a free profile, and the real purpose of distinguishing between high and low is just for profit.Earn more money, and make more connections.

That's why it's said that the self-reliant mother Sang can't figure it out.

Annie: "What does You Kuo mean?"

The black-haired Leah looked calm: "It means brothel."

Annie looked around and commented pertinently: "The atmosphere here is more similar to our outside."

The front yard of Luoying is the place where teahouses and geisha entertain and live, and it is exquisite and elegant everywhere;

The backyard is a completely different scene. The houses are densely packed with narrow spaces. It is not compared with the teahouse in the front yard. In fact, it is also neatly arranged. There are also rich and interesting decorations under the eaves, on the corridor and in the courtyard.It's just not as "advanced" as the front yard, and the purpose of serving guests is more straightforward and obvious.

Attached to Yingluo is located in the front yard of the center of Karinava. The huge backyard can be roughly divided into five areas. The five doors are open to different streets in the red light district. There must be a lot of tourists on weekdays.After all, it is very different from the local brothels, and there must be a lot of people looking for novelties. Even if it is only the income from the backyard, it is enough to support Yingluo's business expenses in the center.

It seems that the guests who are going to receive today are indeed distinguished guests. Not only the front yard is reserved, but the back yard is also closed.

Keiko whispered softly, "This way, please."

Talkatively, she took off her shoes and stepped into the corridor. The black-haired Leah glanced around, and at least thirteen or four girls poked their heads out of the room curiously.

On the porch outside their residence is a cage-like fence, tightly sealing off the way out.

Of course Keiko let them go through the normal corridor without fences.

Across the gaps between the rules and regulations, a group of people followed the island owner's slower and slower pace, and their footsteps became lighter and lighter.

"I said, do you have any literate girls here?"

The gentle voice sounded casually, and Keiko felt flustered inexplicably. She paused and replied cautiously: "Some, miss."

Black-haired Leah: "Call them out and let me see."

Keiko hesitated for a second, then agreed meekly.

Annie reminded her bluntly: "The ones in those huts are also there, so don't miss them."

She pointed to a few inconspicuous cabins hidden behind the verandah.

Keiko was in a dilemma: "But there are still uneducated children living there, I'm afraid I'll offend Miss."

"It doesn't matter, just call out all the children's words, I want to see."

The black-haired Leah turned her head and praised Annie: "It really depends on Annie, your eyes are so sharp."

Annie snorted proudly: "All the stores in Karinava will have this kind of place. Most of the newly bought little girls will not accept their fate so quickly, and they will easily run away if they are not locked up."

Gergo, who covered his face with a cloak, hissed lightly.

No wonder he felt uncomfortable at the beginning, it seemed that he was sold to Tianlongren's mansion when he was a child.

If the first mate hadn't helped them and the captain had generously redeemed them all at once, he and a few of his companions would have been sent to the Colosseum soon.

Keiko called out all the literate people in each room, Gergo received the captain's gaze, and Anne, who accepted the commission, followed Keiko.

Annie will give an extra reminder to the room after Keiko rolls the name: "Our lady wants to chat with all girls who can read, as long as they can read, it will take about three to ten minutes, and there will be a fee."

Gergo carried Keiko on his back and quickly stuffed a few leaflets hidden under his clothes in the room, and added in a muffled voice: "It's a reward for yourselves. You can choose money, clothes, and food."

Keiko didn't see him stuffing things, she didn't dare to look directly at the man, and she didn't dare to say much about their behavior.

But after a circle, there were also a few girls who were not named who volunteered to show their literacy, and they were all brought in front of the black-haired Leah.

Keiko didn't know what this mature-looking but domineering and loose lady wanted to do, but as long as the other party didn't run back to the front yard to make trouble, Keiko would try her best to satisfy any request she made.

The black-haired Leah didn't care that Keiko, the tour guide and monitor, knew what she wanted to do, and Gergo stuffed the leaflets like a thief. She saw it and didn't care.

The girls and children surrounded her in an arc, one left and one right clearly separated.

The black-haired Leah first randomly asked about her name and age, then her usual workload and meals, the amount of self-redemption, her life plan, and finally her income.

Everyone was stiff at first, but those who answered first got paid on the spot.

Two tall men stuffed money into their hands quickly and roughly. The sound of coins was clear and moving. The women who were frightened by the presence of a group of men and dared not speak gradually became smoother in the sound of coins.

The older girl who answered first took a careful look at the two 500-berry coins in her hand, and flicked her sleeve vaguely.

There was a small piece of paper that was skillfully concealed and stuffed in by the man in the cloak, and she could tell it was a 5000 berry note with just one glance.

For the guests who spend money like water here, this is not much, but for ordinary girls whose income has been severely deducted and cut, if the 5000 Berry notes and the 1000 Berry coins can be kept by themselves, it is a big deal. A considerable amount of money that may not be saved every month.

Food, clothing and lodging in the veranda will all be deducted. It is simply impossible for the lower-level wandering girls to save money to redeem themselves by picking up customers normally.

Even if it is a high-ranking husband in the front yard, or even an oiran, if he cannot be taken away by the guests to be a mistress and concubine, it is not so easy to redeem himself.

After asking around, the black-haired Leah pointed out a girl with a sullen face and vigilant eyes.

Those who can answer her questions are basically wandering girls who have been in Yingluo for a while. The little girls who just came in don't talk much, and the girl who was pointed out didn't even say a word.

She sat the furthest away, exuding a stubborn air of non-violence and non-cooperation all over her body. She was the girl who showed the most rebellious will among the group of children.

"You can read and read this."

The black-haired Leah smiled and handed her the leaflet in her hand.

The girl stared at her suspiciously and refused to respond for a long time.

Huizi was a little anxious, coughed twice: "Xizi, Miss is calling you."

The girl's eyebrows were erected all of a sudden, and her yellow short black hair exploded: "My name is not Xizi!"

The black-haired Leah patted the flyer on her head: "Read this, be happy."

The irritable child like a little beast was stunned, and asked her: "How do you know my name? Did the old woman tell you? You really are from here, right?"

The child's tone was very aggressive, and the black-haired Leah didn't tolerate her at all. She slammed the child's head hard. Seeing her holding her forehead and screaming from the kettle, she pointed to the wooden necklace on her chest: "Isn't it written here?" Yet?"

The chubby cloud-shaped pendant has two Chinese characters engraved in the middle: Huanxi.

The characters in this world are chaotic, and characters from other languages ​​are mixed in besides Chinese, Japanese and English. There are probably very few people who can accurately recognize Chinese characters.

Due to physical suppression and the wonderful fate of recognizing her name, the little girl called Huanxi restrained her stubborn temper and obediently read the words on the leaflet.

It's just that the more you read, the more shocked the eyes of the girls around you become.

Huanxi spoke faster and faster, and after reading the last line, she almost jumped up and asked the black-haired Leah loudly: "Is this true?! It only takes five years for you to recruit female workers to pay off all the ransom and receive the ransom. Salary? Just enter the factory and farm? Don’t you need to entertain stinky men?”

The voice of joy became louder and louder, and all the wandering girls who could see their room in the backyard crowded in the corridor, looking this way.

In fact, some of them could read but didn't come, because Geergo stuffed the recruitment flyer, and the wandering girls in several rooms knew the content of it earlier, and they had been waiting nervously.

Annie was also a little surprised. After reading the leaflet, her emotions were not so strong.

She is a local, free, does not need to be redeemed, and is not so embarrassing that she lacks food and clothing, so she does not want to leave her hometown to work at all.Besides, the initial salary given on the flyer is not too much. Although there is a promotion mechanism, who knows what the actual situation is like.

So Annie's only thought was: "Miss is a good person."

If what was written on the leaflet was true, he was not only a good man, but also a good man with reason and not a good heart.

Black-haired Leah: "What a good person, employers and employees, each takes what they need. The population of Beihai is limited, and it is not easy to recruit female workers in our factory, so come here to have a look."

Keiko looked like she was about to faint: "Guest...Miss...you can't..."

The first mate kept staring at her, cutting off the possibility of her reporting the letter.

Gergo had already led a few people to guard the exit leading to the front yard.

The black-haired Leah patted her on the shoulder reassuringly: "Don't get excited, it's not that I won't give your mother ransom money."

She can also pull out Sakaski, the admiral of one of the strongest armed institutions in the North Sea, and raise the banner. When she says the number, how dare Mom-san refuse?

As for poaching most of the wandering girls and newly bought children, making it difficult to sustain the Youkuo business, it doesn't matter. She paid the ransom money, and Yingluo Tea House can buy again through the previous channels.

Otherwise, how much effort would it take for her to find out the secret line of buying and selling women in other sea areas and transporting them to Beihai.

The local human-trafficking organization has been sitting in a big prison honestly, and the few who escaped by chance dare not show up at all, and the rest are the external passages related to Beihai.

It is also the first shortcut for her to intervene in the red light district industry.

"Annie, how long will it take to get to Yingluoqianmen from the street five doors away?"

Anni thought for a while: "The store is cleared today. There are no drivers outside to pick up customers. It will take 45 minutes at the fastest by legs."

Black-haired Leah: "Counting the journey time from the front yard to the back yard...well, you still have half an hour to decide whether to sign up or not."

There must be more than one eyeliner in the backyard. If counting from the people she wanted to read, someone ran to report the news, and there shouldn't be much time left.

The backyard fell into silence, and then the girls in other rooms began to whisper, something fermented in the cold air.

The skinny girl with short black hair stood up and was the first to sign up: "I'm going!"

The cloaked people who had been sitting quietly like stone statues suddenly moved, taking out paper and pens and spreading them on the ground like magic.

The cloaked man in the middle waved to her eagerly: "Come here and register. Can you write your name? If not, I'll help you write it. How old are you? Do you have any specialties? Can you weave? Count? Farm? Are you interested in shipbuilding? ? It’s not impossible to consider blacksmithing~”

The cloaked man next to him gave him an elbow: "You're too despicable! You're taking private jobs! My sister likes meat, right? Or do you like small animals?"

The quiet people in the cloak immediately yelled: "Don't go too far, the pig farm is short of people, and our Ministry of Agriculture is also short of people!"

"The extra benefits of our factory are great! You can fill in this intention..."

"You must come to the R&D department if you are literate, let me tell you..."

"The warehouse! It must be the warehouse! The relationship between the canteen and our warehouse is the closest, and our warehouse is also in the front for any delicious food!"

There was a mess in the room, the girls were attracted by the warm atmosphere and the life revealed by the content of the conversation, and they were a little afraid of the excessive enthusiasm from the men.

The first officer patted the tatami hard: "Do you want to rebel!"

One of the bodyguards went out early to open the door to other houses, and he ran back after opening the door, without staying for a second, but gave the girls a little courage.

There were those who hesitated and doubted, and those who were determined and daring to fight. The black-haired Leah sat on the side and slowly counted the time: "There are still 10 minutes, and I will take people away in 10 minutes."

"Those who signed up can go to pack the package first."

"It's not that I can't wait until tomorrow to pick you up, but I can't guarantee whether your mother-san will take the opportunity to use tricks."

The line is getting longer and longer, and seeing that there is not enough time, I just memorize the names and print my fingerprints, and then make up for it later.

There were also people who came back with a blank face and asked if they could go back on their word. The registrars of the two islands just regretfully found out the registration form of the other side and handed it back, without wasting a second to persuade them.This candid attitude made some of the repentant wanderers to renew their determination to return the famous watch.

The black-haired Liya stared at the time, and suddenly found that she didn't see Huanxi. She guessed that she was going to pack her luggage, so she got up and planned to go to the house of the wandering girl and the children to check the living conditions.

Gergo ran towards him, his cloak and hat were knocked upside down by him, and his handsome face was red and white.

Red is because of strenuous exercise, and white is because of being frightened.

Gergo's ability to grasp the key points is very strong, and he rushed to the black-haired Leah panting: "Sa... Sa... Sakas... General..."

Heisa hates every male of the right age around Leah equally, and the black-haired Leah looked at Gergo's red and pale face lovingly, and sent him into the house as a registrar as best he could: "Talk to the first mate Said, our time is not so urgent, we can give... just an hour."

The man stepped into the courtyard through the dark entrance, and put the life card in his hand back into his breast pocket.

No need to look any further, the backyard was dim, and he could see the lazy back leaning against the door of the innermost hut with his arms crossed at a glance.

It has been two months since Huanxi was arrested in Yingluo, except for the toothbrush towel and the clothes she had when she came, she did not intend to take anything away, including the plain kimono that was issued after Yingluo came.

It was still a bit cold outside, and after thinking happily for a second, she still took off the clothes that belonged to this place without hesitation, and changed into the clothes that were not thick when she came here.

The little girl Weng Zi who came in at the same time as her looked at her hesitantly.

Huanxi noticed it, raised her head and asked, "Wengzi, are you going?"

Weng Zi bit his lip and hesitated: "I...I can't do it..."

Huanxi frowned: "Why? Didn't you want to leave here when you first came?"

Weng Zi: "But...but Sister Sayuri is very kind to us, isn't she?"

Huanxi came to a sudden: "Do you want to bring her with you? But she is entertaining distinguished guests in the front yard now... How about I try to plead with that lady to see if I can wait a little longer, and you take the opportunity to go to the front yard to find Sayuri? "

"...Xizi, I didn't mean that." The normally cowardly girl opened her eyes wide and looked at her expectantly: "You, do you have to go? Wouldn't it be good to stay?"

The candlelight was reflected in Weng Zi's eyes, as cool as the wind outside the window.

"Lily, what are you messing up again?"

The cold wind behind her was blocked by a warm wall of flesh, and the black-haired Leah quickly and firmly hit the hand holding her waist with a loud sound, but it did not disturb the two children in the room.

The black-haired Leah glanced back casually, and warned softly: "Don't make noise."

That slap was neither itchy nor painful to Heisa.He wrapped his arms around her waist, and the navy coat drooped to hug her petite and cool body, with a hoarse voice: "Do you want me to help?"

The black-haired Leah stared at the room without looking back: "Will you help?"

The moonlight shed a little light, and the tall and straight figure folded the petite one tightly without revealing anything.

"I'll help you."

He heard her smile softly, and finally turned her head and raised her eyes, giving him a positive face for the first time tonight.

The black-haired Liya's black eyes were full of bright moonlight, and her red lips were slightly parted to say something.

But he was not in a hurry to hear it now, so Hessa bent down straight, calmly and impatiently enjoying his reward in advance.

The black-haired Leah lowered her eyes, showing a little fierce red pupils at the man, pampering him for half a minute.

Tapping his rolling Adam's apple, the black-haired Leah slowly withdrew her captured lips.

The unique reminder method is effective, and it is not difficult to end this kiss.She withdrew easily, and the sound of separation was sticky and lingering.

His body temperature was always high, making the tip of her tongue a little hot.

This time it was a bit aggressive, but Xuqiu's movements were very gentle, except for burning and slight numbness, she had no other discomfort.

So, "bonus points."

The lazy tone may also be a little bit satisfactory.

Heisa glanced at the end of her reddish eyes, and the color of her pupils gradually darkened.

The movement in the room came clearly.

"Sayuri will be very sad Xizi, she is so good to us..."

Compared with joy, this girl's voice is indeed softer and smoother, and even the trembling sounds made of eagerness are not annoying: "You also think she is very gentle, right?"

"There's nothing wrong here, at least I won't be hungry or cold anymore. Although learning something will be hard, you can become beautiful."

"Sister Xiao Baihe also said that we will all become more and more beautiful. If you are proficient in skills, you will be loved by many customers. Sister Xiao Baihe already has a future husband..."

"Xizi, your parents are already dead anyway, wouldn't it be good to live here, practice hard to win the love of the guests, and finally find your own Danna?"

There was even a crying voice: "Since leaving my mother, no one has taken care of me so tenderly like Sister Sayuri... I really can't let her down..."

The black-haired Leah put her hands on the man's chest to keep warm. Their expressions were similarly indifferent, and they saw stupidity and impatience in each other's eyes.

Stupid without knowing it, and poisonous without knowing it.

Heisa's eyes were shining brightly and he asked her: Do you also accept such idiots?

Pinning the hope of living on others; because others gave a little so-called tenderness, they are desperate;

Each of them dances on a two-person minefield.

The black-haired Leah raised the corners of her lips, scratched his chest lightly with her fingertips, and asked silently, "Don't you want me to do this to you too?"

It may be that I was so stupid that I needed to slow down, and the joyful voice slowly sounded after Weng Zi stopped talking:

"…too disgusting."

The black-haired Leah couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

"The love of guests? You can say that."

"It's disgusting! I will never, never, never do it!"

Weng Zi retorted in a panic: "No! Geisha are different..."

Huanxi interrupted her very loudly: "I don't want to listen! It's disgusting! If you don't want to leave, just be your geisha! Me! Don't do it!"

"I'm seven years old today! I know what I want to do! It doesn't matter if it's Sayuri! It doesn't matter what anyone does! I want to get out of here! I want to live freely!"

Heisa looked at the gentle and smiling eyebrows in his arms without blinking, the moonlight hung on the curved eyelashes, and the bright black eyes were shining with fragments of light.

He couldn't help lowering his head and kissing those eyes: "So happy?"

She closed her eyes and let him kiss her tolerantly, her voice was also happy: "I like her."

A little tiger.
