Last time
"Hello, the young man may I know for how much are you selling your salt?" an old man said
"I'm selling this small bag of salt for around 80dolllar," I said
"That's very cheap young man" the old man
"Don't worry about that so are you buying or," I said
"Yes, I will buy that small bag of salt from you," he said giving me 80 dollars as I gave him the Salt bag
Words spread that I was selling salt at a very low price and business was booming.....(pun intended)
And now we continue where we left off
Time-skip 1year
I am now 10 years old and I make a lot more cash than most people hidden inside those walls.
I also saw eren again a few times while his mom came here to get some salt and spices that I added to my stand.
Flashback
"It's you," said a kid with black hair and green eyes.
"Oh, hey, "I said before looking at Eren's mom
"Don't mind my son's direct personality" Carla said pulling eren's ears.
"Hello, I'm Carla and this is my son eren"she said
"Hey my name Jack nice too meet you.What would you like to buy from me"i said
"Aren't you a little young to be selling goods"She said
"I can defend myself trust me"i said with a reassuring smile
"Ok, I would some salt some sweet potatoes do you have some fresh tomatoes"she said
"Yes, I do have some they are very fresh just got them yesterday, and I promise those are the juiciest tomatoes that you can find," I said with a smile
"Mom, what about the meat," Eren said tugging his mom's skirt.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot can I get some fresh cow meat," she said
"Did you know that milk is good for your bone it contains calcium and it helps your bone get stronger. "I said
"Then I will take your word for it can I get some cow milk with that" She replied
"That will be 190$," I said
"Here," Carla said giving me the money and taking the goods
"Hope to see you again," I said with a smile
End of flashback
It has been a while since that happen and Carla has been coming back to get her grocery from time to time.
"Can I buy some water please?" someone said
"How much," I said
"Just for a drink" the person reply
"That will be 1$," I said as the person handed me the dollar while I let them use the water gourd that j bring every day.
When it was afternoon and about to be night time I close business in started to walk back home.
While leaving the wall I was met with a bunch of thugs.
"Kid we have nothing against you," one of them said
"You got in the way of the wrong person and now they want you," the other one said
"I really don't have time for this," I said as I kick the ground a hole was made underneath them making them fall in.
I kicked the ground again at the top of the hole closed.
"That was the fifth time, I ran into those thugs this month it getting annoying" I muttered as walked by home
Next day in shigamshina
"Hello there young man I heard that you are great with plants and I would like it, if you helped me"
I was about to say no because this sounded like an obvious trap but then I saw who I was talking to.
"May I know who you are miss?" I said
"Oh where are my manner I am Yuka Hirose and some of my tomatoes were dying and I would like it if you could help me out," She said
"Yeah sure no problem," I said, before saying
"Marc, you in charge while I'm gone"
"I understand boss," said a middle age man
I traveled with her to the forest till we eventually reach a cabin in which I saw a bunch of plants dying.
I got close to the plant and touched it and felt like something was bad happening at the root. I crouched down and saw that the roots had termites in them.
"Your best bet is probably to plant some Marigolds around here and the problem will be fixed," I said
"What causes the problems in the first place," she asks
"Termites," I said taking out of them lit if the air
"What are they," she asked
"Termites are small little bugs that live in together or in a colony and have distinct classes and feed on wood or other dead or plant matter," I said
"How do you know so much," she asked me
"I adventure a lot and my parent left me a lot of books," I said before noticing a small little girl coming outside
"Hey Mikasa did you have a nice nap," Yuka asked
"I did mom, but who is he," she said pointing at me
"He the one that will help us with our tomatoes problem"Yuka said
"This is going to take a while to finish but it should be done soon" I said smilling
"Mom those that mean we get to eat the tomatoes later," Mikasa said excitedly
"Yes honey," Yuka said smiling
"It was nice meeting you guys but I have to go," I said
Before saying hi to Mikasa and going back to business.
I went back to the stand when I got close enough then said "mark I'm back"
"Do we have any Marigolds seed anywhere around here or any perfume made with the scent"
I said
"We have some seeds but no perfume," he said
"Take the seeds to me," I said
Marc came over to me and gave me the Marigolds seed
