Chapter 13: The Gun Shop
Sally's surprised reaction was obviously because of the word friend.
grew up lonely since he was a child, was bullied all the year round, and entered an aristocratic school like St. Thorn High School, but was disliked by almost all the students, and was nicknamed "Unlucky Sally".
Friend, it's a luxury for Sally.
Who would have thought that as soon as school started, she would make a new and only friend.
Although this friend, strictly speaking, is her junior.
It's just that from the beginning of the encounter, as well as the thrilling scene just now, it is completely impossible to see that the relationship between the two is that of a senior sister and a younger brother, and Sally is the one who is absolutely protected.
Today's full-day experience is something Sally has never felt in the past ten years.
Until now, she still felt a feeling of floating in the air and unable to really land, and her excitement and joy were well hidden by her.
If she could, she would even like to continue, the biggest highlight of her boring, miserable life.
Unfortunately, before she could feel it for a few more seconds, a rough, hoarse voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Sally, isn't that you?"
"What are you doing out there so late, why don't you get home soon. ”
The sound came from the second floor, which was very distinctive, accompanied by the sound of "da-da" trampling on the wooden floor, which immediately brought to mind the scene of a chubby woman ** walking over with a calm face.
Sally was taken aback, then quickly reacted, first shouting, "Mom, it's me, I'll come up right away." ”
After shouting, he said anxiously to Tang Qi: "You cross this street, and then walk through the central avenue, you can see the bus stop, don't stay here for too long, there will be a lot of danger." ”
"I'm going home, see you tomorrow. ”
After saying that, Sally seemed to be very worried that her mother would lean out of the window and find Tang Qi downstairs, so without waiting for a response, she turned around and took out the key, opened the big iron door, and deliberately stepped on the sound and went upstairs.
Tang Qi couldn't help but shake his head at the end of the goodbye, but he didn't say anything, turned around and followed Sally's instructions to the stop.
Although he already has an attack method like [Chaga Fighting Technique], this does not hide that Tang Qi is still a high school student with weak physical fitness, and if he encounters an unarmed gangster, he can indeed deal with it.
But if it's those murderous gangsters on the side, then Tang Qi will be miserable.
In order to avoid becoming a member of the corpse on the street, Tang Qi has to leave quickly.
But the moment he turned around, an extremely strange feeling suddenly appeared, and the hairs on his arms immediately stood upside down.
"Huh?"
"Snooped?
Tang Qi turned around in surprise and looked at the end in the other direction.
There, that's where Donkey and Sally came from.
But when I looked at it, I couldn't see anything but the flickering street lamps, the deserted streets, and the darkness that couldn't be illuminated by the lights.
Looking intently at that particular interface, I didn't notice anything wrong.
And the strange feeling of being watched also dissipated at this time.
Tang Qi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and left without hesitation.
After taking a few steps, Tang Qi unconsciously used the skills of fighting techniques, like an agile cheetah, and walked quickly through several streets without a sound. Arrived at a stop on the central avenue.
The lights of several late buses that appeared at the same time made Tang Qi breathe a sigh of relief.
After screening the buses corresponding to many destinations at the stop, Tang Qi quickly chose one, and after getting on the bus, without waiting for the toll collector to speak, he took out six copper coins first, handed them to the toll collector, and said, "Midtown Avenue!"
The copper coin is the most basic currency of the Condor Federation, and one child is called Willer, one hundred Willer is equal to one silver coin, and then the Condor Gold Coin, which is called Divine Grace, and obviously this name is also a remnant of the traces of the church.
Of course, gold coins can't be all gold, just an alloy mixed with a little bit of gold and other metals.
Tang Qi sold his inheritance and received a large sum of gold Condor.
Compared to other peers, Tang Qi is a super rich person.
Originally, Tang Qi's idea was to go to a few destinations that he had already thought of to buy what he wanted on weekends.
But with what he had just experienced, he changed his mind.
As soon as night fell, the speed of the car was very fast, and only a few minutes later, the car left the Bronk district, and with a "snort", Tang Qi's destination was reached.
Pushing the door and getting out of the car, Tang Qi saw a wide avenue.
Streets in all directions appeared, full of bright street lights, flashing signs, modern high-rise buildings, beautiful streets, and a dazzling array of shops.
If it weren't for the hazy purple moon still hanging on the sky, this scene almost made Tang Qi think that he had returned to his hometown.
"Whew"
With a long breath of turbid breath and a pause, Tang Qi did not linger in the prosperity of another world, but discerned the direction and plunged into a street that did not look bustling.
Compared to other streets, the lights here are cold and the number of shops is low.
However, the things in each store are much the same.
Weapons!
More precisely, guns.
This is the Guns Street in the city of Mercer.
Although the "gun ban wave" continues to stir up in the Condor Federation, it is a pity that even some of the more enlightened states have made progress, let alone die-hard conservatives like Mi Huang.
The people here are not just talking, steel and industry are the mainstream.
If it weren't for that, the original parents would not have chosen to start a steel company in the city of Mercer.
At this time, Tang Qi was like a high school student with a curious face, walking through one gun shop after another, and was fascinated by the various firearms inside.
However, he was only looking outside, and Tang Qi did not walk into any of the stores.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't.
Although a gun ban is unrealistic in the Condor Federation, all Federation residents support the rule that guns cannot be owned under the age of eighteen.
So, although Don Qi wanted to and needed a gun.
But the age of his body limits this.
The original parents' inheritance must have included firearms, but they did not appear in Tang Qi's memory at all, apparently after the accident, they were directly confiscated by the Mercer City Government.
Knowing this, Tang Qi still came here.
The reason is simple, although it is impossible to directly resist that regulation, it is not impossible to get around it.
For example, now, Tang Qi's figure suddenly stopped at the door of a somewhat special gun shop.
"Jingle Bell"
Tang Qi pushed the door in, and when he looked up, he saw that inside the store, there were bulletproof glass cases in the center and on both sides, inside were all kinds of firearms, from pistols to submachine rifles, there was an end, and a few customers were walking slowly, as if they were choosing.
"Welcome...... Kid, this is not the place you should be, you're not old enough to have a gun, go home. ”
A white strong man came over and was about to welcome him, but immediately changed his words after seeing Tang Qi.
A few of the guests who were picking also saw Tang Qi, and one of them, a very fat black man, laughed directly: "Hey, Richie, don't be so ruthless, this kid may just want to feel the charm of the gun with his own hands, look at this perfect shape, this is irresistible to the touch, oh, she is more attractive than my wife." ”
The fat black man spoke in a goosebump-inducing tone as he touched an exaggeratedly black pistol in his hand.
The rest of the guests smiled.
The white strong man store manager was also amused, and turned around and mocked: "Wake up Freeman, your wife has already run away with the soap salesman, either you take away your disgusting fat paws, or you buy this black falcon home for Lao Tzu, she may not be able to replace your wife, but next time if a soap salesman comes to the door, you can use it to shoot him." ”
"Hahaha......"
The pain of others is their own happiness, and the customers in the store all laughed out loud.
In the midst of laughter, the store manager turned his head, his solemn face had softened, but his decision had not changed, and he still refused: "Listen to the child, until you reach the age of eighteen, you can't come here and Hongying Street, go home quickly." ”
Hearing that he was being treated as a thrill-seeking teenager, Tang Qi was not angry, nor did he blush.
He just smiled "shyly", and instead of looking at the cold guns in the bulletproof glass case, he pointed to the various types of firearms that looked old and worn out on the four walls.
"Uncle, you misunderstood, I'm not here to buy a gun, I'm here to buy a birthday present for my father. ”
"He's like those things. ”
Tang Qi said with a sincere face.
