Remember in a second [Love♂上÷You? Read→Book☆Net], fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

When it was less than six in the morning, the morning light rising from the east had already illuminated Mill Town, a small town located in the area controlled by the Gate of Freedom. The bell tower and church in the town will have the flag of the Gate of Freedom, representing the ownership of the town. There is a team of guards belonging to the Gate of Liberty in the town. This twenty-man guard is responsible for maintaining order in Mill Town.

No matter what the outside world thinks, at least in Mill Town, the guards and residents of Liberty Gate are safe and sound. The town pays taxes to the guards every month, and the taxes are within an acceptable range, even three points lower than when they were under federal jurisdiction. Relatively low taxation is a means for the Gate of Freedom to successfully take over the surface towns, and it has been tried and tested. As long as the federal forces in the area are removed, in fact the people on the surface don't care who manages them. Because no matter who takes over, they have to pay taxes. Liberty's Gate has lowered taxes to minimize the hostility of residents towards them. This practice was denounced as shameless behavior by critics on Babylon, but who would care about these comments?

At least the people on the surface don't, they only care about whether today's life is good or not.

The same goes for Jesse, who works for a butcher in town. Every day, cattle and sheep are slaughtered, and the fresh meat is sorted and sold. Jesse spends every day in a busy life, so that she is in her early thirties, but she is still not married. Jesse was once tired of this kind of life and thought about escaping from it all. But recently, he has no such thoughts. Because recently, he met a girl.

It is not appropriate to say that she knew each other, after all, this girl is just one of the customers of the butcher shop. When Jesse saw her for the first time, he thought he had fallen in love with her. Although the girl only comes to the butcher shop once a day, picks up a fresh steak and leaves, the whole process takes no more than 5 minutes. But those few minutes turned out to be the happiest time of Jesse's day. A look from a girl, or two or three words, can make him have a long aftertaste.

So those who have known Jesse these days have noticed the change in this man. People used to call him "Sad-faced Jesse," but two days ago someone called him "Smiley-eyed Jesse."

When the morning light came up, Jesse was already busy. He was working with a freshly thawed steak with a sharp meat cleaver, and he needed to separate the bone from the meat, a job he was already very adept at. Even being able to look at the street outside the store like now, but the movements of his hands don't need to stop at all. In his anticipation, when people began to walk on the street, the figure he was looking forward to finally appeared at the intersection opposite the butcher shop.

The girl came again, and Jessie even prepared what the girl wanted, because the steak she picked was almost the same size every time, every day. Jessie packed the food for her in advance, so the time saved can be used to chat with the girl more. It would be good for him to just listen to her a few more words.

The girl walked into the store, she was still wearing a thick cloak, tightly wrapped herself, only showing a small half of her face. She has a very peculiar reddish skin,

Although Jesse's boss reminded him that such a complexion is not normal. That girl might not be human if she wasn't sick. But Jessie didn't care about it, and it was just like the old saying that love makes a fool of the wisest man.

"Good morning." Jesse wiped his bloody hands and tried to smile.

The girl said in a slightly hoarse voice in the cloak: "I need some steak, Mr. Jesse."

Jesse's face seemed to light up, and he was even a little excited. The girl is the only one in town who will call him sir, and he takes it as a sign that the girl has feelings for him. He quickly took out the packed food, put it on the counter and said, "It's still the same, but I promise, the meat is very fresh today."

"Thank you." After the girl paid, she picked up the food and turned to leave.

Jessie summoned up his courage and said, "I'll take you back, these things are quite heavy."

"How about that, it will disturb your work."

Jesse ran over: "Don't say that, you are our customer, we should serve you, and nothing will be delayed."

The girl smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I will be leaving soon, so I can no longer patronize your business."

"What?" Jesse lost his voice, "You're leaving? Why, haven't you just moved to the town? Why are you leaving so soon?"

"Well, of course I have my own reasons, but it's not convenient for me to explain them to you. So today, it should be the last visit, please take care, Mr. Jesse." The girl picked up the food, walked across the street, and disappeared at the bend .

If Jesse lost something, he walked into the shop dejectedly. At this moment, he picked up the big knife for chopping meat. Jesse only felt that the knife was so heavy. Suddenly he felt something on his shoulder, Jesse turned his head, and Henry the Butcher smoked a cigarette and said, "I'll give you half a day off in the morning."

"What did you say, boss?"

"Stupid, don't girls like you." Henry took the knife in Jessie's hand, pushed him and said, "She is leaving, since you like her, go and tell her. Maybe there is still a chance .”

"Really...Really?" Jessie hesitated, "But what's the use, she's leaving."

"It's annoying." The butcher kicked him: "Go and tell that girl that you want her to stay. Do you understand, idiot. If you go, you may still have a chance, but if you don't, you will never have a chance. "

Jesse's eyes lit up, and he nodded, "I see, boss."

"What a clueless guy, let me tell you, at least change your clothes first." Seeing that Jesse had already run into the street, Henry yelled, but Jesse didn't mean to stop at all. In the end, the butcher could only shake his head and scold. Get up: "What a shy guy."

Jesse walked briskly as the sun poured down from overhead. Mill Town is not big. For Jesse who was born in this small town, he can go anywhere he wants with his eyes closed. He had delivered food for the girl once before, so he knew that the girl lived in the area of ​​Old Gilly Street. That is the most remote place in the town, and the low bungalows are the characteristics of the old street. The rents for those houses are low, and usually the poor people in the town will rent on this street.

Jesse couldn't imagine how a good girl like her could live here. When he walked through the old street, he couldn't bear the eyes of idlers lying in the houses, windows and under the eaves, let alone a girl. Suddenly Jesse felt an inexplicable anger. He even thought that if the girl was willing to keep it for him, he would rent a house on Anderley Street with the best environment.

While thinking wildly, Jesse stopped in front of a two-story building. Here in Old Street, a two-story building can be considered luxurious. He walked up the steps, stood in front of the door, raised his hand to knock on the door, but hesitated. Suddenly the door opened by itself, and the girl stood inside the door, and the two looked at each other. Jesse flushed with embarrassment, but the girl said calmly, "Mr. Jesse, what's the matter?"

When the girl came home and took off her cloak, Jessie noticed that she was unusually tall. The long black hair hanging down to the hips is like black satin, and the delicate facial features are as beautiful as sculptures. Although she was standing in front of him, Jesse suddenly felt that the girl was so far away from him, so far away that he couldn't touch it.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

At this time, a man's voice sounded from upstairs: "Lola, what's wrong?"

"nothing."

Only then did Jesse realize that the girl's name was Laura, and the voice of the young man upstairs made his heart tremble slightly. He asked hopefully, "Is that your brother?"

"No, it's my husband." The girl blinked, her eyes beaming with happiness.

Jesse staggered back down the steps as if hit by a sledgehammer, accidentally twisted himself and fell to the ground. He quickly got up again, and the girl walked out the door and asked, "Mr. Jesse, are you okay?"

"It's nothing, sorry to bother you, I want to say good luck to you..." Jesse forced a smile, and then left in a bit of a panic. He looked back upstairs and saw a young man standing by the window on the second floor. He had short, striking silver hair and an expressionless face, but his features were impeccably handsome. Jessie smiled wryly, completely lost her mind about the girl.

Allen drew half of the curtains and walked back to the hall. In the hall, Adele huddled herself in a patched sofa, flipping through a book of yellowed poetry, as lazy as a winter cat. At this time, Laura opened the door and came in, said with a slight smile, "That's the clerk from the butcher's shop, he's here to say goodbye to me."

"I didn't say I was leaving tomorrow. That was just Mirren's wishful thinking."

Adele rubbed her forehead and put down the collection of poems, and said, "Alan, it's been a week. It's been a week since we left Iron Prison, and I think we have to leave whether there is news or not, if you don't want to bring more Trouble."

Allen said resolutely: "Until there is news from Grandpa, I won't go anywhere!"

"Mr. Horn will be fine, a Fendi, plus that inexplicable guy, I'm sure they can't do anything about Mr. Horn! You should think about yourself and the people around you!" Adele said in a rare serious tone.

Allen looked at her, and sighed after a while: "I'm sorry, I know that if I continue to stay, it will cause trouble for you and General Mirren. But I don't worry about Grandpa, if it's a Fendi, I don't worry at all , but there is still that person, he is the murderer who killed Tangleo."

"But don't forget that the reason why he succeeded at that time was because Tangleo and the swordsman fought fiercely first, and he took advantage of the sneak attack to succeed in one blow. But this time the situation is different, and Mr. Horn will definitely not It will give him a chance to succeed." Adele insisted.

"I hope so too, but you said it too. Adele, it's been a week. No matter what, Grandpa should contact me. But until now, we haven't even heard anything about it."
