The only tavern in the town is full of people, and the smell of low-quality drinks is overwhelming. The longer people live, the less hope they have. The more people there are in pubs and movie theaters, because they have to anesthetize themselves. Of course, the services provided must be Bargain.
Lu Ming sat at the window table with the window open, so he could tolerate the noise and pungent smell inside.
Sitting opposite Han Anni and Yin Sabel, Lu Ming was a little helpless. He originally wanted to invite Han Anni to come to the bar to sit and chat about something, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he suggested that everyone go to the bar for a drink together. This kind of mess A wealthy lady like Yin Sabel wouldn't come to a bad bar, but she didn't want to, so she followed with great interest.
A bit clingy.
Lu Ming groaned in his heart, but it was funny. He was a bit Versailles, and even Christine didn't have such a card in front of this daughter.
Three subordinates stood aside.
I want finished beer, the kind with a cap, and bring my own cup to avoid being misled by the people here. After all, the look in their eyes makes me resist a few of them.
Because the true identities of the three gunmen were found and reported, not only did Nelson personally lead a team to the town, but the Houseville Police Department also sent dozens of police officers to cooperate. Moreover, a police force was established at the place where the assassination occurred. The headquarters of the special task force also sent personnel.
For a time, there were many strangers in this town.
Lu Ming and others are now at leisure, but the secret deployment of the idle team is still in progress.
In fact, Yin Sabel's idea requires huge manpower support, and naturally there are people who secretly protect her.
Lu Ming could feel that Yin Sabel's three personal swordsmen were likely to have undergone special training since childhood, and their overall abilities may be similar to those of Hei Tou. Although Bizhu was strong, Hei Tou had become a monk halfway.
Despite this, there will definitely be a large group secretly following Yin Sabel near Yin Sabel. There must be dozens of people in size, and it should not exceed the range of a hundred miles.
After tasting the beer, Lu Ming nodded. It was not fake wine, it was genuine Iron Can Bull beer.
It is also the most expensive wine in this pub, costing 1 dime a bottle.
"Sir, Miss, don't you want some side dishes? The air-dried beef we have here is delicious!" Standing next to her was a small figure, a little girl wearing suspender jeans, who was about the same age as Bisi. , wearing a plaid hat, with a dirty face and dirty jeans. She was very flexible in getting through the crowd with the wine and snacks requested by the guests. She was the daughter of the proprietress of the tavern and the only one. Bartender.
Lu Ming couldn't understand her jabbering words, and Han Anni was interpreting.
Yin Sabel looked at the little girl with pity in her eyes, but she didn't say much and looked at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was about to say something important. Even though he would not eat, he could still take care of the business here.
But then a fat man at the table next to him started chirping and yelling something. The little girl's face changed, and she hurriedly turned around and got into the dancing crowd.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Are we not going to let her talk to us?"
Han Anni didn't say anything, Yin Sabel stuck out her tongue, "The uncle shouted, saying that we are bad people, be careful that she, a little child laborer, will also be arrested."
Lu Ming smiled, picked up the beer glass, took a sip, and said, "I feel like it's more and more likely that the three gunmen are members of the Hodelman family." Lowering his voice, it was noisy here again. The tables next to me couldn't hear it either, not to mention that the guests here were all locals from the small town, so I'm afraid none of them could understand Zhongzhou dialect.
The topic that I originally wanted to talk to Han Anni was not easy to bring up, so we started talking about eucalyptus.
The three of them all spoke in Chinese and lowered their voices, not afraid of others overhearing.
Han Anni who was talking suddenly stopped, but the little girl came over again and stood next to Lu Ming, holding two bouquets of flowers in her hands, saying something in a crisp little voice, and looking at Lu Ming hopefully. .
Without translation, Lu Ming also knew that the little girl was here to sell his own flowers. There were about seven or eight bright red flowers, simply tied into two bunches with cloth strips. At a glance, he knew that they were probably the backyard flower garden of the Little Girl Tavern. flowers inside.
Lu Ming thought to himself, this little girl is quite good at doing business.
Took out his wallet from his pocket, took a ten-yuan green note and handed it to the little girl, saying: "The rest is a tip, no need to change it!"
Although she didn't understand what Lu Ming said, the little girl was overjoyed when she saw that the flowers were actually sold. She took the green banknotes and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, sir!"
Lu Ming understood this, but saw that the little girl had already jumped to the bar.
Lu Ming handed two bouquets of flowers to Han Anni and Yin Sabel, and said with a smile: "Don't come in vain, we are not bad people, we are misunderstood and scolded, we reward ourselves!"
"Thank you, teacher!" Yin Sabel accepted it happily.
Han Anni was a little hesitant, but it could be seen that Yin Sabel was innocent and focused, so she took the flower and said, "Thank you!"
Over there, the little girl came back from the drunken dancing crowd. The colors of the banknotes in her hands were one-yuan bills and dimes. Naturally, they were the money Lu Ming needed to get back when he bought flowers.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "You run so fast, I haven't let you act as my translator yet!"
There was a fat man in the dancing crowd who was drunk and flushed. When the little girl passed by, he slapped her butt.
Lu Ming frowned slightly.
Although the little girl ran away angrily, she did not stop. Over at the bar, her mother also saw this scene. She just bit her lip, forced a smile, and chatted with the guests sitting in front of the bar drinking. He got up and said something that made the guests laugh.
It can be seen that the mother and daughter are making a living and running a bar. This level of harassment is probably normal.
"Sir, I'm looking for your money!" The little girl came to Lu Ming's side and bowed, placing a handful of money on the table.
It looked like nine 1-yuan bills were found, as well as some dimes and steel pennies. Those flowers probably only cost a few cents.
Lu Ming nodded, and the little girl bowed again and ran towards the table of guests who were calling her.
Lu Ming looked at the banknotes on the table and said with a smile: "It's all spent. I don't think the landlady will spit in our food or anything like that. I'll go see what local delicious food there is." He stood up and said again: "When I go back this time, I must learn the Griffin language well, otherwise, I will be really blind when I come to the south and west!" Picked up the handful of bills on the table and walked towards the bar.
Yin Sabel looked at Annie Han and chuckled: "Annie, how about my teacher? Teach him the Greyfinian language."
Han Anni smiled and said: "That's great! But, this guy..." If you want to say that this guy is not a good person, you seem to be deceived by his appearance now, but think about it, in order to resolve the misunderstanding between the two of them , I have always said good things about that guy to this good friend, and now I am saying bad things about him. It seems not very good, so I swallowed my words again.
At this moment, there was sudden chaos and screams over there.
A retinue swordsman was already running towards that side quickly, and the other two were protecting Yin Sabel.
The dancing crowd dispersed, exclamations arose, and the conflict seemed to subside quickly.
Four or five strong men were lying on the ground. The swordsman who rushed over was standing beside Lu Ming, with a rubber baton in his hand.
The little flower seller hid timidly behind Lu Ming.
Lu Ming looked at the fat, strong man lying in front of him. He was the one who started to pinch the little girl’s butt. When the little girl turned around, he suddenly picked her up and kissed and nibbled her. He just happened to leave. When he reached the side, he almost subconsciously kicked the strong man down and took over the little girl.
Several of the brawny man's accomplices immediately came to beat him. Fortunately, a swordsman from Yin Sabel's retinue arrived and knocked them down with three strikes.
Lu Ming glanced at the retinue of swordsmen. This muscular female man was not a fool, and although they were using batons, they were clearly using long sword fighting skills, which were clean and powerful.
……
There were already a few people in the bar. Officer Zuofu came in a hurry just now and took away the few strong men who were beaten. The one who was kicked down by Lu Ming drank too much and went there several times after standing up. After chasing Lu Ming, he was tortured and taken away.
After such a commotion, the proprietress temporarily closed down her business, leaving only Lu Ming and others.
The landlady’s name was Hetty, she brought some snacks, cleared a table and invited Lu Ming and others to sit down, saying thanks.
Her daughter, the little flower girl Lida, stood beside Lu Ming, looking reluctant to leave. This was probably the first time someone came to protect her when she was harassed by those smelly men.
"Actually, I might stop your store from opening!" Lu Ming said, with a female attendant translating.
"It's nothing!" Hetty sighed softly, "Originally, I was planning to graduate in the next two years, but I was a little confused and didn't know what I could do in the future. But Lida is getting older and older, and I can still do it before. As long as they loved Leda, it would be fine if they hugged and kissed her occasionally, but that’s not possible now, so no matter what, I still want to thank you, sir! I’m very grateful to you for helping me make up my mind.”
Lu Ming nodded and thought: "Just move away from here. Both of them can help you. It's not difficult to find a job in the city." Lu Ming pointed at Han Anni and Yin Sabel paused and then said: "Also, the hotel I bought in the city has been negotiated, and you can go work there."
Hetty was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lu Ming seriously.
Hetty should be regarded as the town beauty in this town. The beautiful young woman still has some charm, and her light blue eyes imply amorous feelings.
Lu Ming added: "I have some questions. You can answer them in a few days. We can arrange for someone to take your mother and daughter to the city in a while. We will answer them after you have settled your work and life. If you want to leave further, , I can also arrange a trip to the East China Sea.”
Hetty's face changed slightly, as if she had thought of something.
Lu Ming knew that he was right to come here.
Actually, I came to this bar with the intention of seeking information.
The most well-informed person in this town is naturally Hetty, the bar owner.
But I didn’t expect that because of a conflict, it has become like this now. It’s time to strike while the iron is hot without covering up.
"You should already know about the three Simmons. I have some questions to ask you about the three of them." Lu Ming thought about it and said: "Don't worry, as I said, you can answer these questions After a few days, you can settle down your life and feel satisfied and stay away from the disputes here before answering. Of course, if you are willing to believe us, it is better to answer now, because some questions are time-sensitive. ”
Listening to Lu Ming's words translated by the female retinue, Hetty's face was uncertain and he hesitated for a moment.
