After the Legend Chapter 76: Stealing and Anti-Sneaking (Part 2)

From this day on, Minna acted as a good child, not only being very polite to Riddle and the old monk, but also deliberately approaching the boys to please the boys, showing that the children knew she was wrong. I was dubious, but seeing that she was even willing to help them with dirty work, I temporarily believed her and relaxed her surveillance a little

In addition, Minna tried her best to follow Riddle to go out, and to understand the streets and alleys of Encore City, especially in the area along the river, as long as she came to the bright light who lived on the river bank At the home of the believers, she tried every means to get out to inquire about the news of the ships going south.

Riddle only asked her to stay out of her sight and didn't pay much attention to who she was talking to

Ming Na was pleasantly surprised to learn from the boatman that the cheapest way to travel south from Anke City is to take a cargo boat, occupying a space of two or three feet square in the bottom cabin, and you need to take care of your own drinking water. Eighty copper plates, the end point is a small town called Phaladis. Ming Na remembers that this town is located eight kilometers north of the Magic City. Grandpa once called it a "logistics transfer station". It is the same as the Magic City. It only takes half a day to walk by a plain.

Minna still has a little money, enough to pay for the boat, and she has leftover money to buy dry food. She heard from the boatman that there will be a boat like this starting the day after tomorrow. There are still eight vacancies, and the deposit has to be paid. Ten copper coins, the deposit will not be returned to Minna if it is obsolete, let's count the days, Father Riddle should not come back by then, secretly happy, and plans to pay the deposit as soon as he leaves tomorrow

"Sarah we should go" Riddle called her from a distance, "what are you doing?"

Ming Na was startled, and ran over to laugh, "Nothing. I'm listening to interesting things from the uncles. Father, are we going back?" She looked at the big bag in his hand curiously. Item: "What is this?"

"It's a spring fish given by someone else. Let's go to Mr. Osger's house. His wife likes this kind of fish the most. Maybe it will give us a lot of things."

Ming Na was stunned, remembering that a little boy said last night that he wanted to eat fish, he hesitated, and then said it

"Oh? Is that so?" Riddle looked at the fish in his hand, and asked the hawker on the side of the road for a large leaf, wrapped two fish, and stuffed them with Minna

Arriving at Mr. Osger's house, Minna watched in astonishment as Riddle spoke flatteringly in a very flattering tone, and made Mrs. Osger, who was as strong as Winnie's, as an encore The most kind, benevolent and noble lady of the city's No. 1 beauty and the most dazzling star of Weisha and Shaonan, and when he said that these mobile phones were easy:. When finishing the words, the facial features were not twisted into the usual terrifying appearance. He very respectfully presented them. Wrapping spring fish randomly wrapped in aquatic palm leaves, claiming that it is the freshest delicacy shipped from Italy, and specially asked for it from the Xiao family business to give to the beautiful and amiable Mrs. Osger

And the lady who weighed 200 pounds kept giggling, and while asking someone to take the spring fish, she took out a few gold coins from her small bag to put it in Riddle, and asked him to Come and be a guest. Ming Na looked at her cheesy and gorgeous colorful silk skirt, and the floral gauze turban (this material is used to make curtains all over the city), and the arrogant and contemptuous look on her face, and then look back inside. Del's humble attitude made my heart feel blocked

As soon as she left the mansion, Minna couldn't help but ask, "Father, why are you flattering her with words like that? That woman doesn't deserve your praise, and she's not a true believer of the light at all" A true believer would not treat a monk with such an attitude

Riddle smiled and said, "Son, do you feel wronged for me? In fact, don't be sad that Mrs. Osger knows what I say is not the truth, and why I say it, I also know she knows, as long as She gave money generously, and I achieved my goal, then other things became unimportant."

Minna frowned and asked, "Is money so important? Would you rather let yourself be insulted like that?"

"Of course it's important, the kids, I need money"

Ming Na stopped talking. Riddle glanced at her and said with a smile, "Actually, I don't always do the same thing. If it wasn't for the Xiao family's no longer giving money, I wouldn't need to flatter other people's old stewards. When I was still alive, I would take the initiative to send money every month, but I was just hiding it from the people above." Ming Na heard the words and followed his gaze to the front, where is the shop of the Xiao family business, Yini The steward who came here was still sitting crookedly in front of the store drinking and cursing. No matter how the store clerks persuaded him, he would not leave. The passersby walked away, and the deputy steward Lao Gu disappeared.

Minna turned her head away and didn't want to watch it again

In the early morning of the next day, Riddle left the temple and went out of the city. The old monk took over the responsibilities of the monk, while the children were unified by the eldest Albert to take care of Mingna. After attending the prayer, everyone started to be themselves. I went back to my room to find the hidden money and sneaked to the gate quietly

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Albert suddenly stopped her: "Sarah, wait a moment." He pulled a boy and ran forward, saying: "Hughley is short of manpower, you come with them Let's weave straw mats"

"Weaving mats? Now?"

"Yes, the weather is hot these days, and many people will buy straw mats to go home. We have sold out all the land we made before. We need to make more. This is much easier than finding odd jobs." Hughley bent His smiling eyes, "Sarah, come and help, Albert is going to work, there are only four of us, not enough staff"

Albert also nodded to Minna: "Anyway, you're fine, right? The priest said he wanted you to stay with us more"

Minna bit her lip, so she had to go with them in a hurry

The straw mat is made of a local specialty wormwood, which is very smooth and cool. The younger boys, when they are not old enough to find odd jobs, stay in the temple to make mats. Among them, Hughley The craftsmanship is the best, the pattern of the straw mat is complex and exquisite, and the price is higher

When Ming Na heard that this straw mat was invented by the epic hero Earl Xiao, her interest suddenly increased a lot. She saw that Hughley and the others specially dyed the wormwood into various colors in order to make up more patterns. I ran to see their dyestuffs, and found that it was a mixture of powders of several kinds of ore and water, which would be harmful to the human body. Demonstration, in the end, Hughley and the others were all overjoyed. Those grasses can be found everywhere. They are much cheaper than ore powder, and the color is richer. To thank Minna, they promised to make her a piece of white bread at night

Ming Na doesn't think there is anything to be happy about. All this knowledge is a by-product of her potion studies. She regrets that because of the improved dyeing method, the boys are so excited that they keep pulling As a result, she didn't find a chance to go out for a day

Fortunately, on the second day, Hughley said that a new pattern of straw mats should be used to sell to the merchants. When Minna heard that the merchants lived near the pier, she immediately rushed to In front of Hughley, he said, "I'll go too! If they like other looks, I can still think of a way!"

Hughley was taken aback by her, but he also agreed with her idea. The two reported to the old monk and set off together with the straw mat

Arriving at the pier, Hughley tried his best to persuade the merchants to buy their new turf, but Ximingna looked absent-mindedly at the cargo ship from time to time, and finally found an excuse to slip out, she immediately ran to the boatman and said: " Uncle, do you have any seats on the cargo ship going to Phaladis tomorrow?"

"There are Ai and two, do you want to go? The deposit is ten copper coins. If it is overdue, it will be faster if you don't need the deposit." The boatman glanced at her and replied calmly /

Ming Na immediately took out a silver coin: "I don't have any change to find me?"

The boatman frowned: "Why is it so troublesome? Where can I get ninety copper coins for you early in the morning? Go somewhere else and change the change and come back"

Minna bit her lip, a little embarrassed. If she goes to someone to change the change now, Hughley will find out

"Sarah, what are you doing over there?" Hughley came over with a smile on his face, "The straw mats have been sold, and they said they would continue to buy that kind of straw mats. Let's go back for more. Make up a few, what are you doing? Why are you taking the money?"

Ming Na quickly put the money back into her arms, turned around and replied with a smile: "It's nothing, I want to change some change." She moved her body to Hughley's side, but couldn't help but glance at the boatman. Seeing another person coming over to reserve a table, I couldn't help but feel anxious, but I didn't notice that Hughley was watching her frequently. Mingna was called by the boys to make a straw mat for the day. He came back early, and brought back two **-year-old little girls who were rescued from the desert and arranged to live in a room with Minna

When Minna saw Riddle helping the newcomer prepare the bed, she almost found out the money she had hidden and broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that she couldn't wait any longer, that this rare opportunity couldn't be passed up like this , So, before dawn, she got up and put the money in her arms. Before everyone woke up, she tiptoed to the backyard, climbed the wall and exited the yard, and ran quietly to the pier.

When she saw the boat in the morning fog and heard the boatman still shouting "the last vacant seat, the last vacant seat", she was overjoyed and rushed over, unexpectedly, a hand came out from the side and stopped her. Her: "Sarah? What are you doing?"

Minna turned her head to look, but was stunned, it was Riddle! Why is he here? !

Ridder seemed to see the doubts in her heart and didn't explain, but asked her seriously: "The genius is just bright, what are you doing here so early?" He turned his head and looked at the ship in the distance. There was a flash of sternness: "Are you going to sneak off on that boat?!"

Ming Na stood there bewildered, when she suddenly heard someone running to the boatman to ask for the last vacant seat, and lowered her head in disappointment

Failed, the next ship is said to have to wait another four or five days, Riddle found herself, will she have a chance to sneak away next time?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and peek at Riddle. Seeing his terrifying face, his selves became even more distorted. He looked especially terrifying in the fog, and he couldn't help but fight a cold war

Riddle sighed softly: "Come with me" and then turned around and walked away. Minna followed him obediently, returned to the temple, and entered his office

"You kid, why do you always like to make your own decisions? Can't you trust adults more?" Riddle rubbed his brows with a headache, "I know you are stronger than ordinary children, and you are also a little smart, and can rely on yourself. Escape from the slave trader, but things don't always go so smoothly, aren't you afraid of being kidnapped again and unable to escape?"

Ming Na is a little disapproving. She can escape once, and naturally she can escape a second time

Seeing this, Riddle sighed: "I know you may not be willing to listen to me, but this time, fortunately, I found out in time, otherwise I don't know what danger you will encounter. That ship is going to Farah. Des, right? Do you know that place? The people there are very complicated, and there are people from all over the world. At least 20% of the kidnapped children I met in the desert came from there. It was only after being abducted by Phaladis that the slave traders brought them to Anker City. If you really got on the boat, wouldn’t it be right at your door?”

Minna broke out in a cold sweat. She had never heard of such a thing, Phaladis, wasn't it a cargo transfer station? How did it become a place where slave traders ran rampant? Where was Hughley sold? So...she showed her stuff in front of him yesterday...

"Anyway, you are still a child, you should trust adults a lot. I'm not asking you to trust blindly, but looking for reliable people to ask for help." Riddle continued, "I originally wanted to wait for you to speak, but Now it seems that it is more appropriate for me to ask directly." He sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Minna: "Sarah is not your real name, right? I remember... I saw After you, you are the granddaughter of Earl Xiao, and your name is… Is it Mina?"

Ming Na jumped up in shock: "You you...how do you know..." Add a sentence: "My name is Minna"

Riddle had guessed her identity long ago, and she had been doing what she had been doing. He actually knew it very well, didn't he? Minna bit her lip a little unwillingly: is he kidding her?

Riddle smiled: "I didn't recognize it at first, but the two guests that day asked if you were really Sarah, and you were a little uncomfortable, and I began to suspect that it was not your real name and then I I found that you look familiar. It is most likely the little girl I met with Earl Xiao back then, but how could his granddaughter be a little slave girl who ran away? To confirm your identity, I specially took you to the Xiao family business. , looking at your reaction, but then I have some doubts, if you are really Count Xiao's granddaughter, why did you end up here?"

Ming Na's eyes turned red, she bit her lip and didn't speak

Ridder added: "The other day I heard from the steward of the Xiao family business, and then I learned that one of your sisters was almost kidnapped. I thought, could this be the same reason? The young master the steward said... Couldn't it be your father? Are you kidnapped because of revenge?"

"No." Ming Na whispered back, "That's not my dad, so my dad wouldn't do that kind of thing, he... He's grandpa's illegitimate child..." She blushed a little: "Only the eldest uncle is The child of grandpa and his wife..."

"Whether it's an illegitimate child or a child born in wedlock, it's Earl Xiao's child. He's such a hero. He just died, and his granddaughter suffered such an unfortunate fate. I really don't know what to say." Riddle sighed again, There is a bit of melancholy in the tone

"My grandfather didn't die!" Anyway, it was already guessed by the other party, and Ming Na no longer kept the secret. "He just returned to his hometown, which is very far away. I don't know if he can come back, but he definitely Not dead!"

Riddle froze, with that terrifying smile on his face: "Really? That's great. What the **** is going on?"

Minna hesitated again, wondering if she should say it or not. Riddle sighed, "You don't trust me, do you? Is it because of my looks? Or because of your grandfather?" se, he knew it, and smiled bitterly: "Count Xiao Ai just likes to talk as he wants, he doesn't like divine religion, he hates monks, and he hates my humble gesture of begging people for donations, but he also knows in his heart that I am a Reliable person, otherwise, when you were sick, he would not have asked me to treat you, have you forgotten?"

Minna suddenly looked at Riddle, a little excited: "Can I really trust you? You won't… won't betray me?"

"The **** of light is above, I can prove my sincerity" Riddle opened his arms to her, "Tell me, child, tell me all your pain, tell me all your troubles, you are still a child"

Ming Na's nose was sore, she couldn't hold it any longer, she threw herself into his arms and burst into tears

After she separated herself from her grandfather, she told everything about what she had been through, until the boys came to rush them to lunch, and then she made it clear, and then she sobbed softly, a little uneasy Awaiting Riddle's decision

Riddle lowered his head and thought: "It's better to find a way to send you home. Xiao's firm may not be reliable, Mr. Balderman... He quit his job last year and went to the Magic City..." He pondered: " I think the most important thing is to send you to your parents. Before, you wanted to go to the magic capital just because there was no one to rely on. It is too far to go back to Ito from there. Other caravans, I'm really worried, so let me find someone to send a letter to your parents first, so that they can rest assured that you will live here first. The National Day Ceremony~IndoMTL.com~ I have already received the notification, I didn't plan to go, I'd better take a trip now, then you can go with me on the road"

Ming Na stared at him blankly, she couldn't believe it, is this resolved?

Ridel smiled and said: "Why did you start to stay? Don't worry, this is just the most necessary plan. If there are reliable people who go to Yidong in the past two months, I will arrange it again. Now, go to dinner first. bar"

Ming Na couldn't help but want to laugh, but she covered it up again, and followed him to eat, but she felt more relaxed than ever

It doesn't seem like a bad thing to rely on an adult once in a while, does it?

The letter to Anron and Dora was written quickly, but because Minna didn't know the address of Ito's house, she had to entrust it to the local temple of light to transmit the letter, and she stayed at the temple every day with peace of mind Here, we made straw mats and prayed with other children. Because she was the most knowledgeable among the minors, she also received the personal teaching of Riddle to learn some basic scriptures of the Illuminati. Sometimes, she would also Going out with Riddle, life is easy

One day after half a month, Riddle walked into the temple excitedly from the outside, and said to Minna: "Son, I met a friend I can trust, he is your compatriot, and he will be back in two days. Yidong, I can take you on the road, he still knows your grandfather." He turned around and greeted: "Vasily, this is the child, do you know her?"

Ming Na looked at the young man who appeared in front of her in surprise, with a long body and a straight face looking at her with a smile. She cautiously asked, "Do you really know my grandfather?"

The young man smiled: "Not only do I know your grandfather, but I also know you, why? You don't recognize me?"
