People in One Piece are so good-looking

Chapter 286 Are you looking for trouble【12】

"Poor little guy."

Looking at the little boy's dirty face, several people couldn't help but feel sympathy.

Nuo Xia glanced at Taotu, who immediately understood. He rummaged in his bag for a while and took out a few five-hundred-beli banknotes.

Nuo Xia usually didn't like to carry money around. Since the honeymoon vacation, the group had been traveling lightly. All the savings of hundreds of millions of beli were placed in bank cards and only withdrawn when needed.

Peach Rabbit will take charge of some small money that he carries with him.

"Child, what is your name?"

Taotu took out the handkerchief, wiped the stain on the little boy's forehead, and asked softly.

The little boy with black hair and black eyes subconsciously avoided the handkerchief, glanced at her timidly, and whispered, "Macy, Cooper Macy."

"Messi, what a nice name."

Taotu repeated it again and said softly: "Where is your family, Macy? You look completely different from the locals. Did you get lost here alone?"

"Um."

The little boy named Messi nodded, his eyes dim, "I came here with my mother last week, but my mother lost money in the casino, so she mortgaged me here and ran away secretly. I haven’t seen her either.”

"I just found some free time today and sneaked out of the casino during the chaos..."

Taotu was slightly startled and looked at Nuo Xia thoughtfully.

Did you finally find a chance to escape from the casino today?

Is it such a coincidence that it happens to be the restaurant opened by that young master Anjie?

"Huh? There is such a thing as a mother?"

Bellemeier on the side was so angry that she was furious. As a mother of two girls, she couldn't understand this kind of bastard using children to pay off debts. She rolled up her sleeves angrily:

"Little Macy, tell me where your home is. We will take you home, and then we will help you beat up that bastard mother to vent her anger!"

Nuo Xia caught her in time and signaled her not to get too excited, lest she scare the child.

"Very far away, over there in the South China Sea..."

Little Macy shook her head, bit her lower lip and said sadly: "Before going on the trip, my mother had sold all the houses in the family, and she will definitely not go back..."

What about your father?

Bellemere really wanted to ask this question, but when he saw the little boy's expression, he couldn't bear it. He was afraid of hurting him a second time, so he sighed and gave up.

From the beginning to the end, the little guy never mentioned his father. I'm afraid he is an even more damn scumbag than that bastard mother who used her son to pay off her gambling debt, right?

"There are clothing stores and restaurants nearby. Go use the money to buy something to eat, Messi."

Taotu touched the little boy's head distressedly, and put the five-hundred-beli banknotes in his hand into his hand instead of throwing them into the broken bowl.

Looking at the banknotes in his hand, little Messi's eyes lit up and he expressed his gratitude.

"Hey, Mr. Yixiao?" Bellemere suddenly noticed that there seemed to be someone missing from his side.

"Over there, come over."

Nosha pursed her lips, and several people turned to look, and saw Fujitora wandering around the snack street and buying a few steaming beef pies.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he scratched his head in embarrassment and carefully placed the pie in the little boy's hand.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Seeing the fragrant beef pies, the little boy was much more energetic than when he saw the money. He couldn't wait to grab two, one on the left and one on the right, and wolfed them down at the same time.

"Ashamed, I really don't have much money left..." Fujitora sighed and said with shame, "Seeing that everyone has generously donated money to help, I can only contribute my small amount like this."

Obviously a few hours ago, uncle, you were still a billionaire...

In the end, it was all given to the villagers, and I didn’t keep a single penny? Nosha looked at him speechlessly, seriously doubting whether the meal of noodles he had given them in the evening had already wiped out all of Fujitora's savings.

"On Mull Island in the north, I remember there was a naval welfare home."

Nuo Xia couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she saw how delicious the little boy's food was. After thinking about it, he said, "If you don't want to go to your parents again, little guy, you can come with us on the boat in two days. I'll How about sending you there?"

Navy welfare home?

Probably because he ate too fast, the little boy was stunned when he heard this. He was choked when he wanted to speak, and he coughed violently.

Upon seeing this, Nuo Xia immediately went to buy some drinks and came back. He patted the little guy's back gently and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, it doesn't matter. There is no need to answer in a hurry."

Little Messi glanced at him gratefully. After finally recovering, he looked hesitant and finally shook his head:

"Thank you, but no need. Big brother, I don't want to go to a place like an orphanage. I would rather stay in the Queen of Spring City. As long as I find a shop that accepts apprentices in the past few days, I can support myself..."

Be a man.

Nuo Xia's eyes showed admiration. He looked at the little boy in front of him who was wearing shabby clothes but had bright eyes and a stubborn spirit. He thought that if he had just escaped from the casino and was so hungry that he had no human form, he might not come to the street. Begging?

Bellemere was a little worried and wanted to say something, but Peach Rabbit smiled and held his hand down.

"In that case, it's up to you."

Nuo Xia rubbed his head and said warmly:

"We will visit here for a few more days. If you change your mind and want help, you can come to the dock and see me on the boat in the morning. The big dog lying on the deck is my boat."

Little Messi looked at him gratefully and nodded vigorously.

…

In the northern part of the Spring Queen City, a grand fireworks display began again.

The bursts of fireworks that exploded one after another lit up half of the sky. They were magnificent and gorgeous, enough to make everyone forget their worries for a while, and their mood suddenly became comfortable and joyful.

Nuo Xia and others were no exception. They gradually put aside the negative emotions just now and walked around happily for a long time.

After more than an hour, we turned back to the starting point of the commercial street.

It was ten o'clock in the night, and the place was still bustling with activity, but that thin little figure had disappeared.

"I hope that little guy can find a store that takes him in."

Nuo Xia silently blessed her in her heart.

After looking at the moonlight, he felt that it was almost time to go shopping tonight. He was about to take a group of people back to the dock to rest on the boat, but Sia behind him let out a light sigh.

"What's wrong?"

Nuo Xia turned around strangely.

"Noxia...over there."

Sia looked a little unsure and pointed to a dark corner, "Is that..."

Nuo Xia looked in the direction she was pointing, her expression changed slightly in an instant, she strode over, bent down and picked up something from the corner, and the other people quickly came over.

After seeing clearly what Nosha had picked up, everyone's expressions turned ugly, including Fujitora's.

——It was clearly a beef pie with several bitten pieces.

"...What, what's going on?"

"That child, could something have happened?"

The hearts of several people were clenching. Taotu proposed to search separately. Everyone unanimously agreed immediately. After a brief discussion, they decided to use this street intersection as the center and spread out to search for the whereabouts of little Messi.

However.

Just when several people were about to separate and search, a hand holding a broken bowl suddenly stretched out tremblingly.

"Okay, okay, everyone, everyone..."

A blind old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face, who looked to be at least seventy or eighty years old, stood in front of him with a cane and said pitifully:

"I, I haven't had a full meal for several days. I'm so hungry that I can hardly walk..."

Seeing that everyone was looking over, the blind old man shed a few tears and said with a miserable expression:

"I came here to travel with my son last month, but that unfilial son lost money in the casino, so he mortgaged me here and ran away secretly. I have never seen him again."

"Old man, I just found some free time today and sneaked out of the casino during the chaos..."

"Right now, I just want to eat something first and collect some travel expenses so that I can take the boat back. Please do me a favor and give me some money. I am a great kindness, old man. I will definitely remember it in my heart and pay it back a hundredfold in the next life..."

at the very beginning.

Nuo Xia and others looked at the old man with pity and subconsciously prepared to pay.

But as I listened, I started to feel something was wrong, and my expression became a little weird.

——Why does this rhetoric sound so familiar?

No, it’s not even familiar enough to describe it. It should be said that it’s basically the same phrase with Messi, carved from the same template!

Have you encountered a professional begging gang?

Several people suddenly felt a little nauseous.

When Nuo Xia came to the old man, the blind old man seemed to notice the movement of his footsteps, and looked up at him blankly but somewhat expectantly.

But Nuo Xia didn't say anything. He just looked up and down carefully at this old man who looked to be over seventy years old.

After a while.

He seemed to have noticed something, and he knelt down again, and when he and the old man were at eye level, a half-smiling expression was already on his face.

"Sir, please, just do it..."

The old man closed his eyes tightly, shook the bowl in his hand, and said tremblingly: "Just think of it as a good deed, even if you only give one hundred beli..."

Nuo Xia turned his head and glanced at Peach Rabbit. The little rabbit understood instantly and tacitly took out a bunch of banknotes from his purse and handed it over.

"These days, a long-distance boat ticket costs several thousand beri. What does a hundred beri mean?"

Nuo Xia took out two 10,000 banknotes, put them gently in the broken bowl, and said with a smile, "Here, here are 20,000 Baileys. Take this money, go have a good meal first, change your clothes, Let’s take the boat home again, old gentleman.”

"Eh?"

The blind old man was stunned for a moment, obviously a little surprised, and immediately his voice choked up, and he excitedly grabbed Nuo Xia's arm with both hands, "Thank you... thank you... you, you are such a kind person!"

"Where is your home from?"

"South, South China Sea..."

"South China Sea? That's too far. Is this money enough? It doesn't seem like it's enough."

Nuo Xia was a little embarrassed again, then sighed, took out a few more large banknotes worth 10,000 Baileys and put them on them, "Okay, I'll add another 30,000 Baileys for you, for a total of 50,000, so you can invite people on board." Personal care, after all, it’s not convenient for you because you can’t see.”

"Five, fifty thousand..."

The old man's voice was trembling with excitement. He suddenly threw away his crutches, knelt down tremblingly, and was about to kowtow to the ground:

"You, your kindness... little old man, I don't know how to repay you in this life. Only in this way can I..."

When my head almost hit the ground, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

Um?

Something is wrong. Logically speaking, such a kind-hearted guest should help him up immediately. Why is there no movement at all?

His movements were frozen in place, and it didn't matter if he knocked or not.

Nuo Xia squatted in front of him, smiling as he watched the old man lying on the ground hesitating.

In the distance, Fujitora, Momo and the others puffed out their cheeks and suppressed their laughter, which was quite hard. Bellemere was about to bite his lip and had to turn his head away.

"Oh shit……"

The blind old man cursed secretly. He lay on the ground and couldn't figure out what Nuo Xia above was doing, so he had no choice but to be cruel and kowtow several times.

When he raised his head again, his forehead was completely red, but he still had to force out a grateful smile.

"Then let's leave first." Nuo Xia patted his butt and stood up, then patted the old man's head and said with a smile: "Fifty thousand beli, take your time and spend some time, old gentleman."

"Okay, kind sir, please slow down and walk..."

The old man also straightened up, turned his head as he listened to the footsteps fading away, and a smile instantly broke out on his face.

Fifty thousand Baileys, hey, this money is really good. Today's performance is overfulfilled. After handing in the basic share, the remaining money will be enough for him to live happily for a while.

Although that guy didn't know etiquette, he didn't even know how to show his support to the old man...

But I can’t stand people who are stupid and have too much money!

It's a pity that it's a one-time deal, why don't you just kowtow? If he could get 50,000 beli every time he kowtows, he could kowtow all the way from Upside Down Mountain to Lafdru.

However.

When he opened his eyes, the smile on his face instantly solidified.

Because at this moment, the five 10,000-yuan notes in the broken bowl had been replaced by five 100-yuan notes at some point.

Hundred dollar bills.

After calculation, adding one piece is enough to buy ten newspapers.

what happened?

Obviously when that guy put money out for the first time, he took a sneak peek and saw a ten thousand yuan bill. When did it get stolen?

He gritted his teeth, immediately turned around, and called to Nuo Xia who was walking away: "Sir, is the money you gave me wrong?"

"Eh?"

Nuo Xia turned around in surprise, "What's wrong? Fifty thousand beli, isn't that enough for the old gentleman?"

Fifty thousand farts!

The old blind man was so angry that he was trembling all over. This guy was either trying to make him fat or trying to make him happy.

"This is obviously five hundred. Think I'm blind!"

In embarrassment, he slammed the broken bowl to the ground and said angrily:

"Are you deliberately looking for trouble? Are you going to give it to me or not?"
