Chapter VII: The Affair of the Aristocracy
"May you let go of your attachments and have a smile on your face. ”
Hearing Jajl's words, Nie Chuan's melancholy face barely squeezed out a smile.
"By the way, did you renovate this house? and electricity?"
Jagiel was a little puzzled, could the sneaky money transform the house like this?
"I spent money to renovate, when I first started, I worked as a waiter in a restaurant, and my salary was 15 US dollars a month, and I also saved 5,000 US dollars for food and shelter, and then I offended people, so I looked for this place. ”
"I spent more than $1,000 on renovations, and more than $2,000 on decorations and daily necessities. ”
"I just didn't expect that after all this, when I went out to look for a job, no one wanted me. ”
"And this electricity, it's stolen!"
Hearing that it was stolen, Jajel's eyes widened, can electricity still be stolen?
Nie Chuan saw Jajl's puzzlement, and immediately explained
"There is a high-voltage electric aluminum wire line on the elevated outside, hooked on it with a wire, I won't tell you the details, and then you can charge the battery, two batteries can meet my electricity here for four or five days. ”
"Actually, sneaking can be regarded as making money, if you are lucky, you can get two or three hundred dollars a day, and if you are unlucky, you can get seven or eight dollars. ”
"It's just that I have a bad problem, that is, I like to steal money and then stuff my wallet back, so basically I can be found every time, so my peers call me a fool. ”
Jacil's eyes were full of doubt.
"Why do you want to stuff it back?"
She didn't understand Nie Chuan's behavior.
"Because I usually have a driver's license and ID card in my wallet, it is very troublesome to reissue it, I just steal money and don't do this kind of immoral thing. ”
Nie Chuan drank the coke down.
"Will you be beaten?"
"Of course, I get beaten almost every time. ”
"The most serious thing this time is that I met you this time and accidentally stole it from the gangster, so who can be blamed, I can only blame me for not being long-sighted. ”
The two glanced at each other, and both saw the melancholy in each other's eyes.
"You've heard me tell you a story?"
Jajel stared at Nie Chuan, a crimson on her face.
"Listen up. ”
Jajel pursed her lips, and opened the conversation with Nie Chuan, telling Nie Chuan all about her eighteen years of experience and grievances.
"My name is Jagir Dehi, I am the eldest lady of the nobles of Tees, I live on a small island in the north of Tees, there is a manor on the island, I have not been in contact with the people of Teese since I was a child, I live a life of fine clothes and food, the opposite of you. ”
"When I was five years old, I had to learn aristocratic etiquette, and I kept meeting with the magnates of the country, and I kept showing it to countless people like a treasure in the exhibition hall. ”
"The way I sit, the way I sit, the way I talked, I couldn't talk as freely as we did. ”
"There, for example, eating, I don't feel like I'm eating, it's like I'm eating for the sake of looking good, not because I'm hungry. ”
"Don't make inappropriate noises when eating, don't speak loudly, don't talk about the world, such as money, work, politics and religion. ”
"Even the cutlery has to be measured with a ruler, and the Deshi Manor looks magnificent, and if you're there, you'll feel like you're in prison, and you have to follow the rules in everything. ”
"The housekeepers and etiquette teachers of the manor would tell me about life off the island, and in their descriptions, the city of Tees was a place of dire straits, where crime and lust were rampant. ”
"Now, it seems, that is not the case, and they tell me that the inferior people are lowly, full of lies, full of desires in their minds, and even more filthy in their thoughts. ”
Jajel's eyes were full of pain, she kept shaking her head, and Nie Chuan felt the despair emanating from her.
Treated as a marionette, like a robot, doing the same thing, human beings are a higher animal, they can talk, they can socialize, but they want to make the world so complicated and ugly.
"The hare will die if it is trapped in a cage for three days, and since you have a heart, why don't you raise the question. ”
Nie Chuan scoffed at this kind of aristocratic etiquette, feeling like a young lady from a big family in ancient times, no, it was more extreme.
"My father was a soldier and regarded traditional rules as iron laws, and my mother had long since passed away from etiquette, and now, my stepmother regards etiquette as a tradition, and only me and my half-sister need to learn etiquette in the whole estate. ”
"I once gave my opinion, and that time became the nightmare of my life. ”
Jajel lowered her right shoulder, and when she turned sideways, Nie Chuan could see a shallow scar on the shoulder blade on her back, which was more than ten centimeters long.
Although the scar has been diluted by the ointment, it can still be seen that the previous injury should be very serious, and according to the width of the suture, the bone should be deep and visible.
"I escaped this time, the people of the family are looking for me, and a group of people are also looking for me, maybe my identity as a member of the Dexi family is more eye-catching. ”
Just as the two were talking, in Chinatown, a kilometer away, the two men in black changed their suits and came to the Chinatown gang stall.
"Stop!
The Chinatown gang's stall is an underground casino, and the word "China" spelled out in neon signs is at the door.
There is mahjong pai gow poker in the casino, half of which are blonde and blue-eyed whites, and half are Chinese.
"My name is Cherlov, looking for Lin Tiance!"
The man in black who took off his black hat could see the yin aura even more, his narrow eyes were fierce, his thin cheeks made him a little more gloomy, and his golden pupils were as cold as a poisonous snake, as if he wanted to find the right time to kill him with one blow.
The other man in black looked a lot more normal, he was a normal white man, with brown hair and a standard North American face, which would never be found in the crowd.
The two wore suits that gave them an upper-class feel.
"Cherlov, what are you Cross looking for us?"
There is a door outside the casino, and for ordinary people, the strength should not be underestimated, and they are the backbone of the Chinatown gang.
Hearing this, Cherlov frowned, then raised his palm.
"You have one more chance. ”
Cherlov's cold breath suddenly approached, and the door greeting was like a great enemy, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead.
"Looks like you don't want to talk about it anymore. ”
Cherlov suddenly waved his palm, and a figure followed.
The figure threw a straight punch, bringing a howling wind, and Menying hurriedly put his hands on his chest, but despite this, his arms were numb from the punch as big as a punch.
Before Menying could react, the figure immediately threw out a whip leg and kicked it Menying's side chest, this leg kicked Menying's ribs off, making him breathless for a while, but this was not over, the figure took advantage of the situation to hit his elbow and hit Menying in the face fiercely.
This ferocious blow made Men Ying lose his resistance in an instant, and as a mouthful of blood spurted out, mixed with a few teeth sticking to flesh and blood, Men Ying was like a puddle of rotten meat piled in front of the two.
"Steve, let's go. ”
It turned out that this figure was the man behind Cherlov, and looking at the overall situation, his combat power was terrifying.
Cherlov slowly walked down the basement, while Steve pulled one of the doormen's legs and dragged him down.
As a result, the entire staircase is covered in traces of blood.
"Lin Tiance, I'm here to visit you. ”
