Chapter 60 Under the blue-gray sky of Kiev
In 1240, Genghis Khan's grandson Batu and his Mongol expeditionary force captured Kiev, which became an important city of the Kipchak Khanate. Historically, as an important town on the Silk Road, there is no doubt that this is a city that is inextricably linked to China.
Twelve years ago, the city was located in a country that broke away from the former Soviet Union and established a poor country on the rich black soil. In the short history of the founding of the country, she once sat in the arms of the Western world, and once pinned her hopes on the old boss of the CIS, but in the end she found that no one was reliable.
is like a beautiful girl who was once innocent, after divorcing her ex-boyfriend, she got some property, but she lost the stable financial source she relied on for her livelihood, and had to give up her dignity and so-called morality in order to survive. As long as it can be sold, there is nothing that it is not to be sold.
She sells her bottom line recklessly, but she doesn't always meet good customers. For example, some guests are extravagant, but they will always bring big trouble; for example, some guests are particularly dangerous and unreasonable, picking faults and denying accounts when they put on their pants, and threatening to call the police after playing hooligans. There are even some guests, who are actually the police who are fishing to enforce the law and catch her pigtails. Once caught, she will be punished with fines and trade bans and other methods to sanction her pockets, which are not rich.
Until she met an elegant guest from the East, not only did he give as much money as a Middle Eastern high-roller, but this guest himself was extremely high-quality, but he lacked a little enlightenment, so he was never as picky about the quality of service as those ignorant fools and hooligans. The most rare thing is that this guest is not only not picky about giving her money, but is even willing to establish a real relationship with her, help her build a home, and help her get rid of her dependence on those hooligans and police.
Whenever this guest's family comes here, they always feel friendly and welcoming.
Li Muye took Lao Cui and Chu Qinchuan to Kyiv.
The hotel has been renovated from the Soviet Union for some years. After Li Muye moved in, he found that there were many Chinese living here. Chu Qinchuan said that as long as you have enough money in this city, you can buy all the weapons that have been developed in human history. Conventional, unconventional, and even cold weapon era. Therefore, there are many people who have weapons, and it is inevitable that they will cause unease. But while the country is chaotic, we are protected here.
"There are no guns and ammunition on the streets, and none of them are for us. I'm not here to seek protection. Li Muye looked at the blue-gray world bathed in the cold wind outside the window, and said, "Old man, I have come here now, and what to do next is up to you." ”
"Look at Chen Miao. Chu Qinchuan said: "I am a retired old man, and I have to stand in your position with your salary." ”
Li Muye was skeptical of his statement, and said: "Whatever you say, in short, I don't want to know too much about those high-level hooks, Timov has already made a move to you through me, they want Markov, what are you going to do about this?"
"Don't worry!" Chu Qinchuan said: "Things can be done, but we can't do what they say." ”
"It's you!" Li Muye emphasized angrily.
Chu Qinchuan laughed and said, "Okay, even if it's us, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”
"It doesn't matter much. Li Muye said: "I'm just a fool two hundred and five, donkeys who listen to the shouting, I will run wherever you and them go." ”
Chu Qinchuan pointed at Li Muye and said, "Don't say strange things to me here, it's not a good habit for young people to complain too much." And said: "Don't be dissatisfied, how many people think that you can't get the opportunity, since they have already come, then they will be safe when they come, and wait with peace of mind." ”
"Wait?" Li Muye frowned: "What are you waiting for? I have a lot of things to deal with over there, how much time do I have to wait?"
Chu Qinchuan said: "Wait for the Russians to be angry, wait for them to promise you more benefits, understand?"
"I don't understand!" Li Muye's mouth was hard, but he already understood seven or eight points in his heart.
Chu Qinchuan said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you obey the arrangement, I promise that you won't suffer." ”
Li Muye sat on the bed and said, "From now on, Lao Tzu doesn't care about anything, just wait for the ready-made." And he said, "Anyway, you've all arranged it." He raised his voice to greet Lao Cui in the outhouse: "Let's go, accompany Lao Tzu to eat, drink and have fun." ”
Chu Qinchuan told in the back: "Pay attention to safety and try not to cause trouble." ”
Li Muye walked to the door, suddenly turned around and asked, "If I accidentally get into any trouble, you won't leave me alone, right?"
••••••
On the corner of the street, a white woman stood there smoking, wearing an old fur on her upper body, but her lower body showed a pair of snow-white long legs, and a pair of exaggerated single boots on her feet.
Li Muye handed Lao Cui fifty dollars and said, "Go and hail that girl to come over." ”
Lao Cui didn't move, and reminded: "Sir, this is a street girl, and she doesn't even have a decent place to pick up work, she belongs to the cheapest prostitute, and she doesn't need so much money." ”
Li Muye's heart was not smooth, and he immediately lost his temper, kicked Lao Cui's ass fiercely, and said loudly: "Let you go, where is so much nonsense?" I have been learning Chinese for more than a year, and he can't hear the height of his eyebrows. ”
This sentence was too profound for Lao Cui, and the kid muttered, "What do you mean by the height of the eyebrows and eyes?
Li Muye wanted to explain a few words to him, but when the words came to his lips, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Hurry up and call someone." ”
The prostitute trotted all the way to Lao Cui, and Lao Yuan nodded and greeted Li Muye in Russian.
"Do you know how to drink?" asked Li Muye with a straight face.
The prostitute immediately nodded and said, "As long as you give money, it doesn't matter if you get drunk to death." ”
Li Muye couldn't help but smile, nodded, and said, "Take me to the most expensive place in the city." ”
"Sir, the most expensive place doesn't necessarily have the best wine, and if you want to drink, I know a good place. The prostitute asked Lao Cui for a cigarette, lit it and took a deep breath, which was quite amorous.
"What's your name?" Li Muye motioned for Lao Cui to pick up the car.
It was a former Soviet Union-made Uasi bulletproof off-road vehicle provided by the hotel, with excellent performance, but the noise was a bit loud and the interior was rough. When Li Muye went out, the hotel manager took the initiative to ask if he needed a car, which was in Li Muye's arms, so he had this sturdy temporary car.
"Gamova. The prostitute's eyes were firmly attracted by the jeep, and he happily got into the car without waiting for Li Muye's consent.
In the car, Lao Cui himself drove in front, and Li Muye and this Gamova sat in the back. Along the way, follow Gamova's instructions to the door of an inconspicuous club. There are several old Lada and dilapidated military jeeps parked in the parking lot. Lao Cui was a little suspicious of this place, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a very high-end place.
Li Muye didn't rush to get out of the car, and asked Gamova with a smile: "Is the wine in this place very expensive?"
Gamova said: "There is the most authentic Ukrainian vodka here, and there is a good private room to rest, you are so rich, you must not mind finding a warm private room for me to sleep well, right?"
Li Muye nodded and said, "Whatever, as long as you accompany me to drink and be happy, the five-star presidential suite will not be a problem." ”
Gamova giggled, looked profligate, pointed at Li Muye and said: "Sir, you are not only a generous big boss, but also a very good joker, we only have a real five-star hotel here, and it is not just for anyone to live there." ”
Li Muye said with a smile: "Then it's decided, drink first, and then you take me to a place where not just anyone can live, and make me happy, maybe you will get out of the sea of misery directly." As he spoke, he pulled out five hundred-dollar bills and slipped them into Gamova's neckline.
Gamova's eyes lit up suddenly, she looked at Li Muye in surprise, and said in surprise: "You are so generous, but I haven't done anything for you yet." ”
Li Muye smiled and said, "What I need you to do is not the same thing as what you think. With that, he pulled the door and got out of the car.
••••••
The best private room, the best vodka, and a bitch who isn't the best.
Chinese like to drink, on the wine table, the goal is to drink each other down. Russians are better at drinking, but the ultimate goal is to get good wine in their mouths. Chinese liquor is soft and mellow, and the wine is like the character of the Chinese, inclusive and exquisite. Russian liquor, just like their character, is more direct, showing as much drunkenness as there is alcohol, and they also like to drink it ice in winter.
Gamova was already a little drunk, staggering incoherently.
Li Muye looked at her with a smile and asked, "What do you know, who is the most powerful man in this city?"
"Mr. Kirichenko, of course. Gamova couldn't control her mouth anymore and shook her mouth and said: "Including this club, there are several such establishments in the city that belong to him, and even the Kyiv police have to respect him." ”
Li Muye nodded and said, "Hearing you say that, that's a good mix." He turned his face and instructed Lao Cui in Chinese: "Go and call me the bearded foreman we met when we entered the door, and say that I want to meet this Kirichenko and ask him if he can call the shots." ”
Lao Cui got up to call someone, and Gamova waved her wine glass to beckon Li Muye to drink again. Li Muye put down the cup instead, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about how you want to live in this life?"
Gamova was stunned for a moment, then grinned and asked rhetorically: "Is it necessary for a prostitute who is not well fed and clothed to worry about what will happen in three days?" Please, sir, this is Ukraine, it's winter, and if I hadn't met you today, I don't even know if I would have frozen to death on the streets. ”
"Are you afraid of death?" Li Muye asked again.
"For those who have no tomorrow, death is only relief, hunger and cold are terrible. Gamova looked drunk and hazy.
Li Muye nodded, and asked again: "When you entered the door just now, a bearded man called you Rotten Tomatoes bitch, why did that guy call you that?"
"He's just a boring bastard. "Rotten Tomatoes is our colloquial phrase here, which means worthless, and this bastard has taken me in for the night a few times, but has never given me money, only a few worthless sandwiches." ”
Li Muye said: "I'll call him in in a while, do you dare to use this wine bottle to teach him a lesson?"
Gamova suspected that she had misheard, and glared at Li Muye: "Sir, are you sure you want me to smash that bastard with this wine bottle?"
Li Muye nodded: "I'm pretty sure, that's what it means." ”
Gamova's eyes flashed with fear, and she said: "Of course I want to do this very much, but to tell you the truth, I can't afford the consequences of doing this, he is Kirichenko's man, in this city, only Kirichenko can touch his men, if others do this, it will affect the whole family." ”
Li Muye didn't force it, and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't smash it, then I'll do it myself." ”
When the words fell, there was a sound of footsteps outside the private room, and Lao Cui pushed the door in, accompanied by the bearded foreman.
Li Muye grabbed a wine bottle casually and smashed his head and face on the bridge of the bearded nose......
