Meeting with Lucio
On the second day, Selena woke up when the swallows were chirping under the eaves. She immediately got up to wash up, applied essential oil and combed her hair. She put on the new light pink skirt made of cotton that Maria had sewn for her and left the room. Although The fabric was not expensive silk, but fortunately the color was pretty good, and it was very flattering to wear at this age. Jose also gave her a pair of cotton embroidered shoes.
After leaving the room, even Maria's eyes lit up. She vaguely felt that her daughter had been different since she didn't know when. In the past, she wanted her to pay more attention to her appearance and learn some things that girls should learn, like her step-grandmother's daughter, Iris, usually learns more about knitting skills and cultural knowledge.
But Selena was spoiled by her father. She ran up the mountain with a group of children every day. Her hair was always messed up and her clothes were dirty. Selena couldn't listen to what she said. Now that the whole family was driven here. They almost didn't have enough food to eat, so naturally I couldn't care about her, but as a result, she seemed to have grown up suddenly, and she became like a lady when she spoke and behaved. Now she looks more and more beautiful, and she has many ideas for making money at home. As a mother, she was both happy and sad. She pulled her daughter over and kissed her sweet little face.
Jose touched her head lovingly. Selena smiled endearingly and kissed her mother on the cheek. Then she smiled and stretched out her hand to hold Jose and said, "Dad, it's getting late. Shouldn't we go?"
Only then did Jose pick up the load, take the warm sugar breads that his wife baked in the morning, and lead his daughter out of the house. Selena was very excited at this time. She hadn't been to Beerspa City for many years. She didn't know if it was still the same as in the memory of her previous life. She was in a good mood, and her steps became very brisk.
It would take a day to walk from home to Beerspa, but it was much faster to take an ox cart. The ox cart cost three copper coins per person. Jose carried two bamboo baskets, so he finally paid ten copper coins. The carriage master of the cart was an experienced driver and he took a shortcut, so they arrived in less than half a day.
From Beerspa city gate to Dalí Street, it is still as lively as ever. Shops are crowded on both sides. Some sell breads, meat, cloth and grocery stores, and even perfume shops, jewelry stores and clothing stores. It is very convenient to find. There are many street vendors selling snacks, vegetables, seafood and gadgets, as well as open-air food stalls selling steamed buns, noodles and bone soup.
Selena looked around as she walked. Jose held Selena's hand to prevent her from getting separated. It wasn't until the father and daughter arrived at the grocery store where Jose picked up the goods, sweating profusely, that they could rest for a while. There are many people in Beerspa City, and there are also many noble people among them. You have to look in all directions when walking, for fear of offending the noble people and getting into trouble, so walking is particularly tired.
The owner of the grocery store has some friendship with Jose. They usually buy goods from this store, and the prices are lower. Seeing that Jose is talking to the owner, Selena stands by the bamboo basket and looks at the goods in this store. After moving his eyes around, he finally landed on the opposite side of the door.
It was being renovated, and it should be a new store. There were many people carrying stones to lay the foundation. This was a normal thing, but one of them, who was hunched over and gritting his teeth and carrying a heavy stone with all his strength... Selena's expression changed. She didn't look carefully at the man's face, but she could clearly see the scar on the cheek near the temple. The scar still looked ferocious and fierce.
