Chapter 27 Test

Zach is doing well, with no fractures other than trauma to his head and arms.

Rock guessed that Zac had already gained experience from being beaten on Rock Island. He could perfectly protect important parts of his body when he was besieged. If you are attacked, you will not be beaten unconscious.

After waving goodbye to the regretful Jonathan Jackson and the reluctant Melody, Rock left quickly with Zach.

"Where's your family?" Roque didn't know why Zach was living on the street. According to Roque's understanding of Zach, Zac should have a family in Cape Town.

Well, it is recorded in the file that Zac's father has been missing for more than ten years. Besides Zac's mother, Zac should also have a younger sister.

Zach, whose head was wrapped like a rice dumpling, gestured "babbling" for a long time, but Rock didn't understand what Zach wanted to say.

Zach took out the sticky note and pencil from his pocket, and immediately looked frustrated. The sticky note was crumpled and the pencil was broken into three pieces.

Rock was speechless, and went to a street store to buy pencils and sticky notes, so that the two of them could communicate normally.

Zach is still very smart, knowing that working for Rock may bring danger to his family, so Zach left the money given by Rock to his mother and sister, and moved out of the house by himself, not far from the police dormitory in the alley.

But in this sad time, no place is safe to live in, Cape Town streets are full of hooligans, they ask Zach for money, Zack doesn't have it, so they beat him for fun.

Yes, it's just for fun. Perhaps Zach, a real person, in the eyes of those little hooligans, only has the role of making fun.

And it was fun with Zac's life. Roque had no doubt that if Roque hadn't passed by, those hooligans would have beaten Zac to death. Not everyone was like Roque, who could feel pity for the weak.

"So, what's your next plan?" Rock didn't know whether choosing Zach as an informant was good or bad for Zack, and there should be more good aspects. After all, Rock kept Zack alive from Robben Island. bring out.

But Zach working for Rock is also very dangerous in itself. This is just a hooligan. It is an accident. If the Boers find that Zach works for Rock, then they don’t know what kind of punishment Zach will face. .

This relationship is a bit convoluted. Roque doesn't want to figure out who owes whom, and live his whole life again. Roque doesn't want to be too tired. He follows the guidance of his heart in dealing with people and doesn't think too much about right and wrong.

"I don't know." Zach still used sticky notes to communicate with Rock. It was amazing, even if Zac held the sticky notes in his hands, the words written were not ugly.

"Come with me. I just bought a house and I'm renovating it now. You can help me keep an eye on it. If you behave well, I think I need someone to take care of the lawn for me." Rock sighed, but he still couldn't Leave Zach alone.

To put it in a hypocritical way, looking back thousands of times in the previous life, in exchange for passing by in this life, this sentence is put here to describe the relationship between Rock and Zack is not suitable, but the artistic conception is similar. Back then Rock could It is also fate to choose Zach from the thick files. Since it is fate, there must be a end.

What's more, Rock really needs someone to maintain that "haunted house", or in other words, a mansion. Think about the large lawn of nearly ten acres of land. Rock doesn't have time to mow the grass, and the fountain in front of the house, the room The sanitation inside, the garden and swimming pool behind the house, strictly speaking, such a mansion needs at least three to five servants to keep the mansion clean and tidy.

Of course, for Roque, it is not cheap to hire a servant. A maid with board and lodging in London costs 16 pounds a year, which is higher than Roque’s salary when he was not naturalized. The servant market in Cape Town is estimated It's not as high as London, but it's not much worse. Ten pounds a year is required. If you change it to the old Rock, you can't afford it.

If Roque hired Zach, it shouldn't take so much, not to mention that Zac has gone through all this now, as long as Zach is still grateful, then Zach's loyalty doesn't have to worry, which is what Roque values ​​most. As a policeman who already has gray income, and the gray income will increase in the future, the people around Rock must keep secrets for Rock.

This is not a problem for Zach. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, Zach can't even speak, and no one will hit Zack's idea.

Hearing Roque's words, Zach knelt down and kissed Roque's shoe tip regardless of the public.

This is a courtesy to the Pope. Rock is very uncomfortable, but it doesn't attract the attention of passers-by. Zac's behavior is no different from those beggars who accept alms. Of course, the meanings of the two are completely different.

Since he is a servant, he must look like a servant. Zach’s head is still wrapped with a bandage, which cannot be removed. The clothes on his body are dirty and stained with blood, so Rock first took Zac to the clothing store. Get Zac an outfit.

Of course, this tailor shop is different from the tailor shop where Rock made clothes. The owner of the tailor shop is Jewish, and the things are sold very cheaply. A coat costs 4 shillings, a pair of trousers costs 3 shillings, and a pair of leather shoes costs 5 shillings. Send a pair of socks, Rock is not a stingy person, buy two sets of the same clothes, you can give Zack a replacement, the total cost is less than two pounds, really cheap, thanks to the Jews everywhere, many people say Jews He was a profiteer, and Rock felt that the British tailor he ordered was obviously more stingy, and he didn't even send a pair of socks.

Of course, Roque didn't have the nerve to ask for it. If he asked for it, the British tailor would give it to him, but Roque couldn't afford to lose that person. A person who can spend less than [-] pounds to order clothes, can he care about a pair of socks?

Don't embarrass the traversers!

Seeing Rock's mansion, Zach was obviously shocked. Rock guessed that Zach should know that it was a "haunted house", but Zach obviously had no fear.

This is also understandable, perhaps in Zach's heart, the police are the most ferocious existence in the world, what monsters, ghosts, monsters, and monsters, only the singing of Heron Ying leisurely——

Zach entered the state very quickly. After clarifying his responsibilities, Zac immediately went to the backyard wooden house to find a lawn mower and began to build a lawn with an area of ​​nearly ten acres.

This amount of work alone is enough.

Rock is not talking nonsense. Since he chooses to trust Zack, he should give Zack enough trust. When Rock leaves, he leaves five pounds for Zack. In addition to Zack's living expenses, this also includes The workers in the ear room need to pay for the temporary purchase of materials.

In fact, Rock doesn't trust Zack that much. The five pounds is also Rock's test for Zack.

 Weakly say: You can vote for evaluation, no money, brothers help out——
