Chapter 35: The Condition of the City
Jin Lixin put the sleeping Jiang Hanyue in the back seat of the dirty car, and he sat in the co-pilot's seat. The broken jeep in front of me has no roof, the doors are covered with rust, and it is completely bare except for the front windshield, and it drives like a domestic tractor in the eighties and nineties.
"(Where are you from?)"
(Country Z.) )”
(I'm Syrian, I fled from the border with my parents when I was a kid, and I've been living here ever since, and this is the first time I've seen anyone outside.) The boy was very excited to see a foreigner who looked and dressed differently for the first time, and he talked to himself.
"(How far is it from Istanbul?)" Ren is two people sit very close, Jin Lixin still has to raise his voice to cover the noise of the broken car.
(It's a long way, more than 2,000 kilometers, you can go from Van to Adana and then go to Istanbul.) The boy struggled to spin the "creaking" steering wheel.
(By the way, my name is Hammett Thornley, what's your name?)"
(Jin Lixin.) )”
“Jin… lixin...... "Hammett repeats Jin Lixin's name in a jerky tone," (Haha, what a strange pronunciation.) )”
(Why did you get lost here, there are no attractions here.) Hammit asked curiously.
(uh... We were also going to Fancheng, but the car broke down halfway, so we walked forward on foot to find someone to ask for help, and we happened to run into you. Jin Lixin casually made up a reason to fool around, and it didn't matter if it was illogical, it couldn't be said that he jumped off the plane.
(Haha, you're lucky, there are usually no people in this area, and I passed this road today when I went to my uncle's house in Ötzalp (a small town in eastern Turkey) to deliver goods.) Hammett gave a thumbs up and poked the two empty wooden frames at the back of the car.
After chatting all the way, Hammett's broken jeep finally slowly shook to Van City.
This is a large city in eastern Turkey, located on the edge of Turkey's largest inland lake, Lake Van and close to Lake Elcek.
The city was packed with houses, narrow roads, and crowded streets, with vendors' stalls lining the streets, and Hammett shouted as he parted the crowd and drove towards the innermost part of the city, near the lake.
“Siktir! Hammett, nihayet bulmak, nereye gitmek, bugün öldü!" Suddenly three dark-skinned men burst out from the side of the road, leading the way with wooden sticks in their hands.
“Ben。。。 Ben teslim gitti。 (I...) I went for delivery. Hammett said, waving his hand a little timidly.
"(Fucking less bullshit, you kid pretending to be dead for me, what if that money has been delayed for so long?!)"
(Zhan Su, I... I'll pay you back, please give me a few more days. Hammett pleaded.
"(Hmph!Don't blame me for not giving you a chance, it's been three days since I relaxed last time, if you don't pay back today, don't blame the brothers for being polite!!)" Zhan Su shouted arrogantly.
(I... I really don't have any money right now, please give me a few more days, I'll get the money together!)"
"(No money?!Then you have the money, brothers!!)" Zhan Su waved his hand, and the two behind him took wooden sticks and hit Hammett's head.
"هذههيالطريقة؟ليسسوءفهم؟ (Arabic: What's wrong??' Jin Lixin grabbed the wooden stick that was about to hit Hammett's head and looked at both sides in confusion.
"(Who the fuck are you?!Better be nosy!)" Zhan Su's eyes briefly swept Jin Lixin.
(They're from the Kader family, and the whole thing... Everyone is afraid of them. Hammett shrunk and whispered in Jin Lixin's ear.
(Oh, what kind of person should I be, it turns out that the world is as black as a crow, and there are such little gangsters who bully the soft and fear the hard.) Jin Lixin guessed the reason as soon as he heard it, and said secretly that he hated such a person the most in his heart.
"(What's the matter today, I just caught a blonde girl who doesn't know whether to live or die in the morning, and now another hairy boy is going against Lao Tzu!!)" Zhan Su grinned evilly with thick lips, "(Don't talk to this kid!!Take Hammit away for me!!)
Jin Lixin saw that Zhan Su's two subordinates wanted to catch Hammet, he grabbed the opponent's wrist first, and pushed with his backhand, and the two fell face down on the ground.
At this moment, there are more and more onlookers, and the narrow stone alley is crowded with people, maybe it is the reason why everyone has been oppressed by these guys, and when they saw Zhan Su and several people falling heavily and eating, they were all happy, but no one dared to show it openly on their faces.
"(Fuck!!You dare to do it!)" Zhan Su saw his two men fall to the ground, his face was cut open with a long bloody mouth, and he was furious, and he punched Jin Lixin.
Jin Lixin was unhurried, dodged the punch with a slight tilt of his head, and at the same time punched Zhan Su under the ribs with his right, "Ah!!" Zhan Su covered his body and knelt on the ground with a painful howl.
At this moment, his two subordinates reacted, and seeing that they were not opponents, they glared at Jin Lixin viciously, "(You... You wait!!)", and helped Zhan Su, who was screaming "Ahh
Jin Lixin is really more than enough to deal with such a small street character, he didn't plan to play a heavy hand, he just wanted to teach the other party a lesson, and now seeing that Zhan Su and the others were already afraid of running away, there was nothing to embarrass them.
(Wow!You're so powerful!) Just one punch knocked the tall Zhan Su to the ground, what are you... Spell?)" Hammit was comparing Jin Lixin's move just now at the moment, and asked with wide eyes excitedly.
(Hehe, Z country kung fu.) Jin Lixin smiled faintly.
"(Can you be my teacher and teach me?!)" Hammett pleaded.
(No, it doesn't.) We're leaving tomorrow, and that's the promised $500. Jin Lixin took out $500 from his wallet and handed it to Hammet.
(As long as you teach me kung fu, I don't want money.) Hammett waved his hand.
(Forget it.) Jin Lixin put away the money and pushed Jiang Hanyue, who was still sleeping in the car, "Hey, we're here, hurry up." ”
"Where is this?" Jiang Hanyue opened her hazy sleepy eyes, dragging her tired body to look at the unfamiliar environment, feeling hungry and thirsty, and her physical condition was extremely poor.
Seeing that Jin Lixin was leaving, Hammit was a little anxious, "(Please teach me, I... I don't want to be bullied by them anymore. (Please.) )”
Seeing that Jin Lixin was still indifferent, Hammit continued with a second thought, "(Aren't you going to Istanbul, I know the way, I can take you there, it must be faster than you walking by yourself, how about it?)"
Jin Lixin hesitated for a moment when he heard this, thinking that someone could indeed take a lot of detours to Istanbul as soon as possible, so he said, "(That's good. )”
"(Then you just promised to teach me kung fu?!)" Hammett said excitedly.
(I can't talk about teaching, but I'll give you some advice during the few days I've been in Istanbul.) )”
(Haha...) That's enough, thank you, master. )”
