Chapter 812: Inconvenience of contacting others
“Third sister-in-law, leave it, please, ah, I have things to do, that’s all for now, bye.”
Lucila looked at the hung up phone and the more she thought about it, the more she thought something was wrong, but she didn’t know what it was.
On this side, Carmencita went directly to the provincial capital where T-town is located and then took a train from there to T-town.
Although T-town is a city, it is not a big place.
He found a small hotel where he did not have to show his ID to check in.
In general, people here are not tall and have a dark complexion; she is from the north, slightly taller, and because she has been pampered for a long time, her complexion is very white, and she can’t stop that aura from taking over her body.
He went out for a quick detour and a bite to eat and discovered this.
There are basically no outsiders here, so it seems, in fact, a bit too conspicuous.
The next day, she put on her “ugly make-up”.
In reality, it’s just a matter of darkening the skin, getting a few moles and randomly tying up the hair.
He was afraid to contact his family or to call Barreda.
If they had known she was here, they would have tried to send her back.
It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find Marco, but the only thing I knew for sure was that Barreda would be at the local police station.
For the next few days, she went to the police station in disguise every day to watch the door.
I couldn’t believe I couldn’t see Barreda.
Finally, at noon on the third day, he saw Barreda leaving the police station.
He came out of it with his head down, wearing a duck-tongued hat and a black suit, his hair cut much shorter, and he was unrecognisable if Carmencita didn’t know him.
He was followed by two other men, several of whom went to the door, and they both said something to him, to which he nodded, and then they parted.
Inocencio did not agree to Barreda coming, but Barreda was determined to come to T-town and he could not do anything to Barreda, so he agreed.
Besides, even if Barreda doesn’t come, someone else will.
People enjoy the peace of the world because there are those who carry darkness on their backs.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
…
Carmencita carefully followed Barreda for a long time before arriving at the place where he lived.
He looked at the location and booked a room next door as well.
When he returned to collect his things and bring them back, he saw Barreda in front of the hotel.
His hands were in his trouser pockets and he looked as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Carmencita played dumb and pretended not to recognise her as she tried to walk past him with her head down.
Crossing Barreda, and taking two steps forward, Barreda called out slowly: “Carmencita. ”
The bag in Carmencita’s hand fell to the ground at once, and she turned her head, looking bitter, almost to her knees in front of Barreda: “Second brother, I beg you, don’t take me home to T-town, my father will surely take me straight back!”
Barreda’s face fell and he gave her a cold look, lowering his voice as he spoke to her: “You know you’re making a fool of yourself, and if you don’t want to be escorted back, you’d better get back on your own.
Carmencita intends to say something else, but is interrupted by Barreda, who looks around and pulls Carmencita up, not forgetting to take Carmencita’s bag on the way out.
When she reached the room, he closed the door and kept looking at her with a cold face: “You are getting very bold, if Uncle Ortis finds out, you will lose your skin.
Carmencita said faintly: “Ergo, then you won’t let my father know.
“Is this a place where you can come? Is this a place where you can do whatever you want? Don’t say that your father, if big brother knew that I let you come, he would have to lose his skin!”
I had never expected Carmencita to be so bold. She was a bit stingy, but she had always prioritised things, was very restrained, never put her foot in her mouth and considered herself to know what she was doing.
“I know I acted a bit impulsively and irresponsibly this time, but I’m worried about my big brother, what will I do if something happens to him? I’ll wait for him here, I won’t do anything and I won’t cause him any trouble, I’ll do as I’m told, don’t tell my family that I come to T-town”.
Carmencita had already thought about it, she was a girl and it was almost impossible to reach Marco.
But, by coming to T-town, at least she was a little closer to Marco again, and in case they heard from him, she could be the first to know.
That is enough.
He looked at Barreda with a pleading face, looking a bit pitiful, and Barreda still had a soft heart.
He nodded imperceptibly and Carmencita could not be pleased when he added, “Stay here and don’t go anywhere or I’ll call Sky City and have them send someone to pick you up”.
“Yes!”
After negotiating terms with Barreda, Carmencita dropped a big stone from her heart.
In the evening, Barreda sits on the sofa studying a topographical map, which Carmencita doesn’t quite understand and wants to ask about, but is worried that she will disturb him.
Barreda turned his head to look at her: “Don’t you want to ask what I see?
Carmencita said sincerely: “I wanted to ask, but I was afraid to bother you.
“Big Brother’s men must be safe, that day they chased Montrelle to the outskirts, the terrain of this mountain, it is impossible to find anyone no matter what, in that case, there is only one reason why Big Brother did not contact us on purpose, perhaps Montrelle’s too cunning nature made him have other plans, all we have to do now is to contact Big Brother.”
“Does that mean that Big Brother is safe now, but that it is not convenient to contact anyone else due to a temporary change of plan of action?”
“That’s right.
Carmencita nodded, lost in thought.
That means that Big Brother has disguised his identity and is somewhere in T-town.
Barreda thinks that if he had told Carmencita that Marco’s life was not safe, at least she would have been calmer.
It might even persuade her to return.
However, he did not say it immediately, mainly because, if he said it too soon, he feared it would set Carmencita back.
The following days were spent with Barreda leaving early and returning late, and Carmencita doing the same.
He only goes around the city of T every day.
Take a taxi, a bus, go around the city.
The city of T was so small that it did not take him more than a few days to go through it in general. He had a good memory and soon remembered where the different streets were in each district, and what he did not remember he wrote down.
At first he wanted to take a chance and see if he could meet Marco.
He had not expected that he had not yet met Marco, but he had been allowed to map the topography of T-town.
She went out later than Barreda and came back before him every day, so Barreda didn’t bother her much.
In the middle of the night, groggy, Carmencita felt a knock on her bedroom door. The visitor’s movement was gentle, but her nerves were on edge lately, so she woke up quickly.
Before she could say anything, the man took two steps forward and covered her mouth.
