Chapter 233: Thief Girl
The two fled from Wangcheng to Twilight City this time, and each took out all their pocket money, and there were more than a dozen of them in Jinyue alone, and the travel expenses were very sufficient.
Lorna is not very suitable for managing money because she is usually sloppy, so the money is put in Solandelle.
As a result, who knows, as careful as Solandelle, actually lost his wallet.
Lorna hurriedly asked, "Think about it, did you fall somewhere?" ”
"No! I touched it when I sat down! Solandale was so anxious that her face turned red and she kept groping around her body, but she found nothing.
Lorna glared at the strong man who was beaten by herself, and went over to pull him by the collar and shook it wildly: "Did you steal it?" Isn't it you?! ”
The strong man's gums were burst by Lorna just now, and he couldn't make a normal sound, and the whole person was confused, and he fell to the ground and kept "Aba, Baba and Aba".
Seeing that the strong man couldn't say anything, Lorna was so angry that she slapped him with a backhand and rewarded him with a deep sleep service.
"Wait... I know! Solandale's eyes widened and she said hurriedly, "Wasn't that little girl at that time?" Just hide behind my back and shout for help! ”
Lorna suddenly realized, and her small fist kept pounding on her palm: "It's definitely her!" Okay, we were kind enough to help her, but we didn't expect her to steal our wallet in turn! It's wolf-hearted! Solan, let's go, let's catch the thief! ”
"But there's no payment yet—" Solandale cautiously glanced at the table full of wine glasses, as well as the broken tables and chairs.
The boss reacted quickly, although Lorna drank a lot of alcohol and broke the furniture, which was a big loss.
But now in this situation, the boss is not unhappy to be able to give the transcendent a favor, so he simply changed his words and said generously: "Let's go catch the thief first, and make friends here, no need to give money." ”
"How's that going to work? Eat and drink for nothing, am I not a hooligan? Wait, I'll look for it. Lorna said, touching her pocket.
Touched the left, touched the air.
Touch the right side and find the 1 Iron Moon left to buy candy.
Lorna handed over an iron moon and said dryly, "Oh, this is my whole belongings, for you." ”
The boss scolded in his heart: You might as well not give it!
The boss accepted Tie Yue and said with a forced smile: "Let's go." ”
...
The two ran outside the tavern, but the slum was mixed, and the little girl had long since disappeared.
Solandelle anxiously looked left and right, recalled the map of Twilight City in his mind, and said, "We are right in the middle of the North City, and there happens to be a main road in the east and west, I go east, you go west, let's look for it separately!" ”
Lorna hurriedly grabbed her sleeve: "Won't it be too dangerous for you to leave me!" ”
"No, I have the red rope I promised, and this life card, and I'll be fine. We are efficient to search separately, whether we find it or not, we must return to the executive mansion before evening, so as not to worry Chino. With that, Solandale ran to the east of the avenue.
"Okay, be careful!" Lorna quickly turned around and ran west.
Although they acted separately, the northern city is so big, and the lanes of the slums extend in all directions, and an outsider in Solandale is like a headless fly here, and trying to find a little girl is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Solandale walked through the alleyway, constantly asking passers-by along the way:
"Hello, uncle, did you see..."
"No, don't bother Lao Tzu."
"Hello, have you ever seen a little girl, about the same as me, with dark skin, short hair, wearing a very tattered linen dress and sandals."
"No, I haven't seen it... Little girl, do you want to go to see the goldfish with your uncle? ...”
"Hello, excuse me..."
"Yo, come out to pick up customers at such a young age? How much? Is 20 copper moons enough? Hey, how did you go? ”
...
Solandale found someone here and knocked on the door there, but nothing was gained, and he had met a lot of ill-intentioned people, but fortunately it was broad daylight, and these people were quite restrained, at most they were teasing two words, and they didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
After searching for hours, Solandelle was so tired and sweaty that she couldn't walk anymore, so she found a chair on the side of the road, and sat down directly without caring about getting dirty.
She bowed her head in disappointment, not knowing what to do...
As a royal princess, Solandelle usually has fine clothes and food, grew up with a golden key in her mouth, and gave Perseus whatever she wanted, and Perseus didn't give it to her second brother Andrew and seventh brother Bolton secretly pampered, and she never worried about the monthly coin.
The Moon Coins she lost this time were just a drop in the bucket for her, but they were all the money to play in Twilight City, not to mention that Lona's Moon Coins were also in them.
It's not a question of how many monthly coins she lost, but the fact that she didn't keep her wallet well, which made her feel very guilty.
Just when Solandelle was depressed, a crisp voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Hey." ”
Solandale turned her head to look, and was stunned, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Thief! ”
It was none other than the little girl in the tavern, dressed in shabby linen, with a dirty face like a flower-faced cat, and her skin was not as white as that of a girl of the same age, but wheat-coloured.
For some reason, the little girl looked at Solandale with strange eyes, and with a deep sense of unease, she handed the things in her hand forward: "Return you." ”
"Hey, my wallet!" Solandale hurriedly took it, opened it and counted it, and found that there was not a single moon coin missing, she immediately asked curiously, "Aren't you a thief?" Why did you give my wallet back? ”
The little girl subconsciously took a step back: "You... Who are you? ”
"I—" Solandale didn't know why she asked, and made it up very calmly, "my family sells bread, and lives in the east of the city. ”
"You're lying," the little girl swallowed, her expression rather jealous, and her voice trembled a little, "You can't be a bread seller... Your wallet is full of gold and silver moons, don't think I don't know, all the people who can take the gold moon are big nobles! ”
Solandale was confused, slipped on the issue of the wallet, and was at a loss for a while, not knowing how to continue making it up.
"I used to listen to troubadours tell stories by the roadside, and it is said that the king gave birth to a daughter on the last day of the 500th year of the fire calendar... Judging from your age, you are about the same as her, and you have so many golden moons in your wallet..."The little girl kept pursing her lips, looking very anxious, and said tentatively, "You... You can't be a royal princess, right? ”
"Shh Solandale pulled her into a corner, lowered her voice and said, "Don't be quiet, I sneaked out this time!" ”
As soon as the identity was confirmed, the little girl suddenly knocked on her head in annoyance, and kept pacing back and forth: "How did I steal it... Hey, I've already returned my wallet to you, and I haven't touched a single monthly coin, can you let me go? We don't think we've seen each other. ”
Solandale looked at the intact wallet in his hand and tilted his head: "Speaking of which, why did you return the wallet to me?" There are so many monthly coins in it, you can use them to buy a lot of things, right? ”
