Trafford’s Trading Club

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

The driver is probably in a hurry. He figured if he didn't accelerate himself, he should be able to pass successfully before the conversion, so he wouldn't have to stop and start again.

Six seconds, five seconds… very good, just in time, the driver is in a good mood.

Three seconds later, the driver suddenly opened his eyes and stepped on the brake - a woman pushed the stroller and walked out.

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

Because of the speed of the car, the sedan couldn't hold it, and the driver stared desperately into his eyes - yet, the moment he washed past the sidewalk, he didn't seem to feel anything hit him.

The car eventually made an emergency stop at the crossroads and the driver hurried out to look back.

What I saw was the careless mother on the phone, and she was being held by a young girl —— she saved her.

“How did you walk!!” The driver came up roaring, and he felt he needed to curse a few words in order to be shocked.

……

“I really appreciate it. God be grateful. My God...” The woman thanked Caroline with excitement.

She hugged the child in the stroller and kissed the child's forehead, “Oh... sorry, baby, Mom won't call me on the street anymore. Forgive me? Oh... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Caroline watched quietly.

Why would she reach out and pull this woman's hand? She's still thinking about it.

Why did she see the scene in advance, and at the same time she was deliberately starting to panic about it.

She has realized something… something special has happened to her.

“Ma'am, please be sure to tell me your name and contact information.” Woman is very grateful: "Please let me repay you well, otherwise I don't know if I should forgive my own carelessness. ”

Carolyn opened her mouth and thought, “Well... can I have breakfast? Honestly, I haven't had breakfast yet. ”

“Sure! Sure, I'd love to! ”

She grabbed Caroline's hand and said hastily, "Whatever you want to eat is fine. ”

It feels appreciated… it turns out,

People like me can be like this... appreciated.

Caroline laughed at herself. This smile looked strange to the child's mother, who looked at Caroline with confusion —— the child's mother only found a clear bruise on Caroline's neck, like being strangled.

And Caroline's eyes turned a circle of blood, like she was wearing special glasses.

“Are you... are you okay?” The child's mother asked subconsciously.

Carolyn shook her head, maybe she could think of a reason to deal with the past - for example, when she was subjected to domestic violence by her boyfriend, then escaped, now she's broke, etc. - maybe the child's mother would be more willing to help herself a little.

If she can get a little cash, she can even get out of this place for a while through some wild chicken trucks.

“I actually...” Caroline moved her lips and tried to make a temporary statement, but she suddenly swallowed it back and changed her mouth: “I'm sorry, I can't eat breakfast, I'm in a bit of an emergency...”

She ignored the child's mother's call and rushed into the crowd.

Caroline quickly disappeared from the mother's sight during the rush hour of work, when the streets were busy.

Caroline rushed away because she saw Arnold and it seemed to be Arnold… in a hurry.

……

……

The man looked a little flashy and stopped in front of a moving breakfast truck, "Give me a cup of coffee. ”

The salesman in the car took a look and the man who bought the coffee had obvious bruises on his face. He must have had a fight or something. He also had a wound on his cheek, which probably rubbed his skin during the fight or something.

The seller didn't care.

This place doesn't run into too many people who get hurt in fights, "sir, your coffee. Thanks for the two Reals. ”

He pulled a pile of coins out of his pocket, picked out two, placed them directly on the table, and left with coffee - but he felt his shoulder suddenly shot.

He turned around suspiciously and his eyes slammed.

“Arnold! It's really you! Great!" Caroline grabbed the man's arm, perhaps for a reason of joy, and Caroline grabbed it very hard.

Caroline looked at the wounds on the man's face and said, "How did you get out of Boston? Did they do anything to you afterwards? ”

She looked at the wounds on Arnold's face and wondered how many times he had been beaten and how sorry he was.

Man... Arnold stunned and flew quickly: “I escaped while they were asleep. And you... are you okay? ”

Caroline shook her head: "When they took me out, I took a chance and ran away. But I'm afraid they won't let me go so easily. ”

Arnold nodded: “Yeah, Boston, he's tough, he won't let you go so easily... what do you want to do next? ”

Caroline was shocked: “I don't know, maybe I want to get out of here… I'm still working on it. What are you gonna do now? ”

Arnold shook his head: “I didn't think about it either. However... I should be able to find a place to hide for the time being. Why don't you come with me. ”

Caroline frowned and asked subconsciously, "Where? ”

“College, we can go to college and hide.” Arnold Fast Trail: “College bedroom, I can temporarily stay with my classmates for a few days! ”

“University…” Caroline hesitated.

Arnold Fey said, “There are plenty of people in there, and there are school guards, even in Boston, he wouldn't dare mess around! ”

Caroline nodded her head and agreed, "Fine. ”

……

……

Through a row of luxurious villas, Song Hao Lan describes the background of those who live here, "… basically descended from Spanish nobility. Because it became a Spanish colony in the middle of the sixteenth century. This has been going on for a long time. In fact, Cartagena was also once in decline until the last world in the 1920s, when it prospered again because of shipping. ”

Rocciu listened quietly.

“Cold house? ”

The sedan ended up parked in front of a building with high walls on all sides, and Lochu looked at the plaque hanging in front of the door.

Song Hao Run laughed: “Dad wrote this. Do you know why it's called a cold house? ”

Lochu shook his head.

"At first this was where we lived," said Song Hao Run. "It was only in recent years that Pop moved elsewhere. First of all, it's a better place to live. Second, some unnecessary disturbances can be avoided. I've lived in this cold house for ten years. Dad said that when we Song family started out, there was actually nothing. The old ancestors were an honest rose farmer. There was only one tile house, and the wind couldn't even block the wind when winter came. ”

“Have you been there? ”

Song Haoran shook his head: “I have returned to China several times, but once I followed my father to his hometown, but he has all the face, and he can find it, which is a wasteland. ”

“That's why there's a cold house.” Lochu nodded.

“That's why there's a cold house.” Song Hao laughed and led this Rochu all the way in.

Ornie and Lluvia stopped when a few people walked past the doorway named 'Dragon Hall'. Neither of them continued to go deeper, but a servant came to greet them in the cold house, depending on the familiar face.

Lochu met the cold housekeeper named ‘Uncle Five', a middle-aged man with some white hair, with a very strict look and a meticulous attitude, seemingly hidden in a bit of English style.

Uncle Five asked Lochu, then looked at Lochu's face, his face was a little moved, but he didn't say anything, just became more respectful.

Song Hao Run said this Uncle Five has studied in a school that specializes in training butlers.

“Uncle Wu, this Mr. Lo is a guest of honor in the cold house. Please greet him first.” Song Hao ran looked at Lo Qiu again at this time: “Wait for me, someone will greet you. If you need anything, just tell Uncle Wu directly. ”

Luo Qiu did not ask Song Hao Lan why he left.

The cold house was built entirely according to the palate of the Old King City. At this time, the hall in which Lochu is located is also ancient and ancient. Uncle Five stood in front of Lochu with great respect - even standing in the right position, “The guests came to the door, wondering what they wanted to drink? ”

“Give me a glass of fresh water.” Lochu responded with the same courtesy.

“Please wait. ”

Uncle Five nodded, no grievances, no extra words, and turned around and walked out. The hallway was quiet for a moment - because there was only one Lochu left.

He picked up a book on the shelf next to him and looked at it, "Ming Shi" in the twenty-fourth history.

Footsteps.

“How can guests be entertained only with fresh water when they come to the house?” Women's voices.

Lochu closed the book and turned around, but saw a woman in a cheongsam with her hands slowly walking in with a tea tray and a pear swirling with a light smile.

The cheongsam woman put the tea tray down and smiled softly: “Junshan silver needle, also known as‘ golden jade '. Legend has it that its first seed, under the Ehuang and the British species, has been in circulation since ancient times...”

The cheongsam woman began to take out the furnace life, boil water, wash tea, move gently, like the girl from Jiangnan Water Township who picked tea, she gently opened her teeth, “One day, when Tang's second emperor was in the dynasty, the waiter held a cup of tea for him. When the hot water poured into the cup, a cloud of white fog appeared and suddenly flew out of a white crane. The white crane lit the emperor of Mingzong three times and flew towards the blue sky. The emperor asked why, and the next prince replied," This is because of the yellow fur soaking with the water from Liu Yijing in Junshan. Yellow fur is what we often call a junshan silver needle. Since then, Junshan silver needle has become a tea dedicated to the emperor. ”

Using a tea bowl with fragrance, the cheongsam woman put her hands on the tea bowl and said softly: “Smell the fragrance. ”

Roquette took the tea bowl from the cheongsam woman, opened it and shook her head: “Actually, I don't understand. ”

The boss is telling the truth - the maid has never made much kung fu tea. There is no requirement because Boss Lo feels that the black and flower tea made by the maid is excellent.

The cheongsam woman snorted.

Boss Luo took a sip and said: “It tastes good. Where can I get it? ”

“I'm afraid it's a little difficult, because this is the most expensive tea that was taken five years ago at a tea convention in Tea Township, China, and can't be bought outside.” The cheongsam woman smiled, "because she was a VIP, so she took it out to greet you. ”

“Thank you." Lochu nodded.

The cheongsam woman suddenly said, "Guests are greeted in cold houses with services comparable to those of the finest hotels. But over the years, here in the cold house, you can call it a VIP, counting you, it only happened six times. Do you know who the top five VIPs are? ”

“Naturally a friend of the owner here.” Boss Lo thought about it for a while.

“There have been presidents of this country, there have been important millionaires in the Chinese circle, and there have been heroes who have singled out the arms business of one continent, they are all people who can stamp their feet and make a huge wave outside… So who are you, the sixth VIP guest? ”

So Boss Lo said directly: “I recently took over a small shop and usually sold something that others needed. ”

The cheongsam woman raised her face slightly, "What do you mean, someone else needs something? ”

"- [sic]" That means selling a little of everything. ”

“Do you have a card?” She then asked.

Boss Luo shook his head and apologized: “No business card. However, there is a voucher for the Guest, but I do not intend to give it to you at this time, because the lady is in good shape and nothing is missing, so I am sorry. ”

“Really? That's a shame.” The cheongsam woman smiled slightly and said softly: "Well, VIP please sit down, I'm going out. ”

She went like this.

Boss Luo smiled, sat down, and held up the tea bowl in his hand and looked at it. After that, the boss did not measure a little Junshan silver needle that had not yet been used up.

His hand passed on the dish, and an extra dish filled with tea came out of the tea tray, "Well, it should be a long time to drink. ”

Boss Lo laughed and, after a thud, the tea-filled vessel disappeared - and there was an extra glassware in the club cabinet that was open on the ramp.

“Has anyone been here yet? ”

Uncle Wu came in with a cup of fresh water on a plate at this time. He looked at a set of tableware beside Rochu with confusion and frowned. He recognized what was in it. He already had some speculation in his mind.

“Nothing." Rochu smiled. “Just a lady came to talk to me. ”

“I'm so sorry, my guest.” Uncle Wu hastily said: “I am not thinking carefully... the lady didn't say anything to you, do something? ”

“No.” Boss Lo shook his head: "If you're free, thank her for the tea she made me, and tell me some examples. ”

“Sure, sure.” Uncle Wu said.

He was nervous for some reason. He only felt that the clouds were faint when the young man spoke, without a shelf, but more nervous than when Master Song was angry.

It's like the sea, the ocean with all its glances, hiding dark currents and whirlpools of deserted land.

I hope Miss Sakura doesn't have any conflict with this VIP.

Father's Buddha jumped off the wall, Song Haoran himself sent VIP guests... and the face of this young man, Uncle Wu has actually had some conjecture in his heart...
