Chapter 14 Preparations Before Departure
Facing the old gull's sneer, Akita also snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
Hugo is not as radical as Akita, although the other party does not know the identity and ability of the two of them, but the other party can say such things to obviously know the situation in the flow street very well, and Hugo has long heard of the bad environment of the flow street.
The main purpose of his actions this time is to be quick and accurate, and to find Thirteen's mother who may still survive according to the information provided by Sayuri in the shortest possible time, so that he can know more about Thirteen and may find out his whereabouts.
If you can have the help of Lao Ou, a person who is extremely familiar with Convection Street, in this process, it will unintentionally make the whole thing twice as effective with half the effort.
Thinking of this, Hugo said: "In this way, there is labor." ”
Akita on the side wanted to fight back to the old gull, but after hearing what Hugo said, he swallowed the words in his stomach.
The old gull was very satisfied with Hugo's performance, and laughed again: "I can't see that the little brother is not small, admire!"
With that, he took out the cigar in his mouth, snuffed it out, and put it back in his arms.
"In that case, let's go. With that, lead the way and walk to the side.
Hugo glanced at Akita and motioned for everyone to follow, and although Akita wanted to say something to Hugo, he was stopped by Hugo in a low voice.
"Let's talk about it when it's settled. ”
Akita saw that Hugo's eyebrows were calm and relaxed, thinking that he had his own plans, so he calmed down and silently followed the old gull.
Although the old gull showed a vulgar character from some of its usual movements, once it entered a serious state, it seemed that it suddenly became a different person, and even its steps became a different one, and every step seemed to have been thought out through countless thoughts, like a cunning fox.
Hugo and Akita saw it in their eyes, and unconsciously began to look at this tall man.
After about a meal, the three of them came to a ruined wood, and the ground in the woods was full of desolate leaves, and the old gull found a large rock in it and sat down.
When Hugo and Akita followed and were about to ask why they didn't move on, the old gull pointed to the stone next to him and said, "Rest." ”
Hugo and Akita glanced at each other, and then sat down very "obediently" like two elementary school students.
The old gull was very satisfied that his orders were well carried out, so he took the initiative to explain to the two.
Although the army here is weaker, there are still many places that are inconvenient during the day, and we will stay here for a while, and in two hours it will be dark, and then we will set off again.
A cold wind blew, making Akita can't help but feel a spirit.
"Just two hours, is there any mistake, we haven't let you take it to Liujie, I'm afraid you'll freeze to death. Akita protested with great dissatisfaction.
The old gull looked at Akita and said, "Your doll looks like a flower in a greenhouse, I really don't know why you went to the street to suffer that sin." ”
Akita snorted coldly and said, "I want you to take care of it!"
The old gull shrugged his shoulders and reached under the stone where he was sitting, and then, as if by juggling, two worn-out fur coats appeared in his hands.
Lao Ou raised his hand and threw the two clothes to Hugo and the others, and did not forget to sarcastically say during the period: "The two young masters have suffered, and they still want to smile at a little heart." ”
After Akita reached out and took the heavy fur coat, he felt a choking temperature come over, it turned out that the dress had not been washed for too long and emitted a strange smell, which made Akita almost not vomit, even Hugo on the side frowned when he saw this.
The old gull looked at the two of them with great interest: "I'm really sorry, there are really no good conditions here, and even if we have it, we can't wear it, otherwise even if you enter the street, you will not be able to move an inch." ”
Hugo stroked the fur with the palm of his hand, not to mention, this fur coat, in addition to the bad smell, the fur texture is good, the workmanship is solid, and it is obviously a first-class goods.
Hugo said: "Is it really poor in Liujie?"
In Tsukishima and even in many media around the world, Drift Street is described as a poor, crazy unmanaged realm, where it seems to be the dirtiest curse that Satan has left on the world.
However, Hugo did not think so about the overwhelming description, and he firmly believed that what he saw with his eyes was the truth.
Lao Ou was not in a hurry to answer Hugo's question, his eyes first looked at Hugo before he slowly spoke: "Liujie is really a world that cannot be described in one sentence or two, as long as you don't really see it with your own eyes, you will never believe it." ”
Akita is no longer interested in the old gull's seller, and what he cares about now is how not to let himself be frozen to death, although the smell on the fur coat is very bad, but Akita Guminaka still gritted his teeth and put it on his body.
After putting on his heavy clothes, Akita intuitively felt that his constantly trembling and swaying body gradually calmed down.
"Take a sip of this and warm up. The old gull raised his hand and threw a small white steel jug at Akita, who opened the lid and sniffed it, and it was filled with strong whiskey.
Akita couldn't close it so much now, and two sips of the liquor flowed into his stomach, and because it was too strong, Akita couldn't help coughing.
Lao Ou looked at Akita's embarrassed appearance and smiled: "It's really not easy, anyway, it's not a good time for you to come, this season's flowing streets are as cold as the North and South Poles, and it's really not suitable for people who have lived in temperate regions for a long time." ”
Although it seemed to be an unintentional remark, it really tempted Hugo and Akita to continue talking along with their own topics.
However, Akita is now bent on facing the bitter cold, and Hugo does not buy this at all, which makes Lao Ou even more suspicious.
Just when Lao Ou was thinking about how to open a topic again to wake up the intelligence temptation, Hugo suddenly took the lead and said, "What method are we going to use to enter the street tonight?"
Lao Ou smiled when he heard this: "What else can I do? It is impossible to walk to Liujie on one foot, due to the self-transformation of the displaced people in recent years, the 27th district has been far away from the overall mainland of Moon Island, and it is obviously impossible to walk, and the air supremacy here is still in the hands of the Moon Island side, so our solution can only be to take the waterway." ”
Hugo nodded, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that after so many years, the methods and means of this group of people have not been improved too much. ”
Lao Ou said: "If you take the waterway, the speed is very fast, and it is estimated that you will be able to see the streets of Liujie tomorrow morning." ”
Hugo nodded again, and suddenly an idea appeared in Hugo's mind, and then Hugo said to the old gull: "Has anyone ever entered the East Island like us before?"
