May I borrow your boat?
Sure.
Good-bye, then, M. Morrel. Thank you again.
I hope to see you again soon, my dear Edmund. Good luck.
The young sailor jumped out of the boat, sat at the stern and ordered him to row toward Buel Street in Kana. The two sailors immediately rowed and the boat quickly shuttled through the thousands of sailboats from the port to the dock in Orrland.
The shipowner watched him with a smile until he landed and disappeared into the streets of Cana Buel. This street was crowded with endless crowds from five o’clock in the morning to nine o’clock in the evening. Cana Buel Street is the most famous street in Marseille, and Marseille residents are very proud. They solemnly declared that fake Paris is also a street of Cana Buel, so Paris can be called a horse race.
When the ship owner turned around, he saw Danglars behind him. Danglars seemed to be waiting for his orders, but in fact he was watching the young sailor from afar. Although both of them were watching Edmond Dantè s, their eyes looked very different.
Chapter father
Let’s put aside the fact that Danglars tried his best to speak ill of his companion in the owner’s ear, Morel, and said that Dantè s crossed Cana Buel Street, turned into Meilan Lane along Noeyin Street, and entered a small room on the left. He hurried four flights of stairs with one hand on the railing and one hand on his crazy heart. He stopped in front of a half-closed door, which was a small room.
Dantè s’ father lived in this room. The old man didn’t know the news of the arrival of the Pharaon. At this moment, he stepped on a chair, shaking his fingers and tying morning glory and withering flowers at the window to make a flower shed. Suddenly, he felt an arm around him, and then a familiar voice shouted in his ear, Father, Dear Father.
The old man exclaimed, and when he turned around and saw that it was his own son, he fell trembling and pale in his arms.
What’s the matter with you, my dearest father? Are you ill? The young man asked in surprise.
No, no, my dear Edmond, my child, my baby, no, I didn’t expect you to come back. I’m so happy to see you suddenly. God, I think I’m dying.
Cheer up, dear father, it’s me. It’s really me. People say that happiness will never hurt your health, so I snuck in. Hey, smile at me. Don’t look at me like this. It’s me. We’re going to have a happy day now.
Children, we are going to have a happy day, the old man said, but how can we be happy? Will you never leave me again? Come and tell me what good luck you have.
May the emperor forgive me. My happiness is based on the bereavement of another family, but the emperor knows that I don’t want this. Now that it has happened, I pretend to be a sad father. Our kind captain, Mr. Lesquereux, is dead. Thanks to Mr. Morel’s recommendation, I am likely to take his place. Do you understand, father, think about it. I can be a captain at the age of 20. My salary is 100 gold. Louis spanlasssjj, a French gold coin, can also get dividends. This is a poor sailor like me. I didn’t even think about
It’s my dear child, and the old man replied, yes, it’s really a big deal
Well, when I get the first money, I’ll buy you a room with a garden. You can plant morning glory, withering grass and acacia flowers in it. What’s wrong with you, father? Are you uncomfortable?
Nothing, nothing will be fine, the old man said, and finally fell into the chair because of old age and weakness.
Come on, the young man said, have some wine, father, and you will be fine. Where did you put the wine?
No, no, thank you for keeping the change. I won’t drink it, the old man said
You must drink it. Father told me where the wine is. As he spoke, Dantè s hit two or three cupboards.
You can’t find the old man and say there is no wine.
What’s out of wine? Dantè s said that his face turned pale. Looking at the old man’s sunken cheeks and the cupboard, what’s out of wine? Father, are you short of money?
I’ll need everything when I see you, the old man said.
But dantes wiped his forehead and said with a cold sweat, but I left you two hundred francs three months ago when I left.
Yes, yes, Edmond is right, but you forgot that you still owe our neighbor Caderousse a small debt. He told me about it and told me that if I didn’t pay for you, he would go to Mr. Morrel and ask him for it, which affected you.
so
Then I returned the money to him.
But dantes cried, I owe Caderousse a hundred and forty francs.
Yes, the old man said.
That means you paid him back from the 200 francs I left you
Let’s go. I already told you
