"I want three civilian number plates that I can enter tomorrow! Otherwise, I'll go to the front and sell it myself! ”

In order to force the war ticket seller to slipper, Lynn deliberately said this in a cold and hard tone.

The thin man frowned, but then grinned: "Hey, man, don't be kidding, if you go and sell to others, you will be caught by the gendarmes and it will be over!" Well, give you a pound of black bread, a sausage, and three number plates! ”

Lynn shook her head: "You have to have a number plate to enter the docklands tomorrow!" ”

The thin man also shook his head: "Each such license plate is worth at least half a kilogram of black bread, not to mention ...... I don't have anything smaller than 228 right now, unless you're willing to risk waiting for it! ”

Life is not familiar, and it is a time of war when the enemy is pressing, and it is indeed too risky. Lynn thought about it calmly, the ticket seller in front of him may not really have the number plate in his hand to board the ship in the past two days, everyone understands the truth that life is more important than everything, normal people will naturally not exchange a little bread or gold and silver for the number plate that can leave as soon as possible, but there will be many people who are willing to exchange food and goods for a more advanced boarding opportunity. Looking at it this way, the special license plate in your hand should still be very valuable.

Thinking of this, Lynn showed his last hole card: "In addition to what you said, add another watch, it must be able to work normally!" If it works, it's done! ”

The thin man frowned and gritted his teeth, looking very embarrassed, but he looked left and right, and immediately said to Lynn, "Follow me!" ”

This way of dealing reminded Lynn of the smuggled shoe dealers, who brought the customers back to the houses where the goods were stored—either damp basements or sweltering penthouses, where the rent was naturally the cheapest, and the smell of rubber in the room made people reluctant to stay longer.

Following the thin man into a private house, Lynn still had an extra heart, quietly took out a shell gun and put it into his coat, just like the gangsters in the movie who are ready to pull out their guns and fight. The three-story wooden and stone house had a large opening in the steeple roof that had been blown open by the bomb, so that the light in the corridor was exceptionally bright. Ascending the broken staircase to the second floor, Lynn noticed that the doors of almost every room had been slammed or pried open, and it seemed that the owner had locked all the windows when he left, hoping to keep them as they were during the trip. Unfortunately, although the Allied bombing and Soviet siege did not completely destroy the city, the aborigines never had a chance to return to it, and "Königsberg" will soon become a name that will remain in history.

After thinking about such a heavy resentment for a long time, Lynn suddenly had a strange thought: maybe the history of this world will be changed significantly because of his arrival?

Followed into an unlocked room, Lynn caught a glimpse of a woman sitting on the bed. She looked to be in her thirties, very thin, and not very good-looking, the kind of non-pathological frailty that was the same as that of a thin man. Seeing Lynn, a guy in a military uniform and carrying a spear on his back, a look of horror suddenly appeared in her eyes, and her right hand, hidden in the quilt, seemed to be grabbing something. Listening to the thin man say that he was here to sell license plates, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In this era of chaos, it is normal to be more vigilant, but after getting along with the White Goatee family for a long time, Lynn has become accustomed to being unsuspecting and relaxed.

The thin man dragged a box from under the bed on his stomach, opened it directly in front of Lynn, took out a large and a small one from the brown paper bags of different sizes, and stuffed the box back under the bed.

"A pound of black bread, a sausage!" The man said as he opened the brown paper bag. The big one is a whole piece of brown bread, and the small one is a two-finger-long, thumb-thick sausage. With that, he pulled three number plates from the pockets of his underwear, and took the steel-colored mechanical watch from his wrist - everything seemed to have been prepared in advance according to Lynn's request.

Bartering was clear at a glance, and Lynn put the sausage and number plate in his pocket with his left hand, and looked at his watch, the hands were still turning, and the time indicated was five and ten o'clock. So he put the brown paper-wrapped bread under his armpit, and waited for the thin man to carefully confirm the special number plate he provided, and then Lynn nodded to the woman who had been staring at him with curiosity just now: "Good luck and goodbye!" ”

Although the woman didn't speak, she was very reluctant to take what Lynn had taken away. This made Lynn think that this thin man might not be reselling license plates for the sake of making a war windfall, but like himself, he wanted to get his relatives out of this dangerous war place as soon as possible through his own efforts. A privileged badge might have been able to get more valuable things from other soldiers, or to pretend to be an SS soldier himself—Lynn didn't want to bother with it, and as it got dark, he made a quick stride, even trotting a few steps, and finally got back to the hotel before dark.

He took a deep breath before pushing the door open and entering the room. I am used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, but now I am extremely afraid of seeing unexpected and unfortunate scenes.

Holding her breath, she pushed the door open, but fortunately the young woman and little Catrili sat on the bed unharmed, and the white goatee moved back from the balcony to the room, where she was still reading.

"Hey, look what I've brought back!"

Lynn smiled and raised the "trophies" in her hand, deliberately shaking the brown paper bag containing bread and sausages into a sound.

"Daddy's back!" Little Catrili snuggled happily beside her mother, and her little eyes suddenly smiled like a curved moon.

The young woman did not speak, but looked at Lynn with a slightly embarrassed smile, and the look in her eyes was quite complicated.

is no longer a teenager who has just fallen in love, but Lynn still has a strange feeling of heartbeat at the moment.

"Hmmm! There are also three number plates that allow us to enter the docklands early! As he spoke, he walked over to the table and quickly unwrapped the brown paper bag.

From the moment she entered the door, Catrili's eyes never left Lynn, so when he took out the sausage, the little girl immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Oops, it's a sausage!" Mom, it's a sausage! ”

How long has it been since this poor child had seen meat? Lynn felt a little sour in her heart, what a pitiful child without a father!

Unlike Chinese sausages, which are directly stuffed with meat and dried, European sausages look more uniform in color regardless of whether they are pure meat or mixed with meat, starch and spices. When stored or taken out, some are smoked, while others are grilled before they can be eaten – it is said that there are thousands of different ways to make sausages in Germany alone. Lynn picked up the sausage and sniffed it, fortunately it was cooked, otherwise it was neither fire nor electricity, and I didn't know how to eat it.

Holding the sausage on brown paper, Lynn solemnly walked to the side of the bed and sat sideways beside little Catrily: "Come, eat!" It's a pity that there is no hot soup! ”

Although she had been staring at the sausages, Katri shrank into her mother's arms and said in her light and innocent tone, "Daddy eats first!" ”

Unexpecting a three- or four-year-old child to say such a thing, Lynn was stunned for a moment, looked up at the young woman, and the happy sorrow was written on her delicate face.

"Daddy has already eaten it!" The familiar lie came out of his mouth, and Lynn's heart was very sour—how sad it would be for his parents who had worked so hard to raise him if he was electrocuted to death in that world!

With some hesitation, Katri picked up the sausage, looked back at the young woman, and said very obediently, "Mother and grandpa eat together!" ”

The young woman just touched her daughter's hair silently, and there were already tears in her eyes.

Lynn sighed and said softly, "Let's eat one bite and save the rest for tomorrow, okay?" ”

The little girl nodded vigorously.

"Eat it first!" With the helplessness and worry of that world in her heart, Lynn barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

The little girl took a small bite of the sausage expectantly but reluctantly.

Looking at the row of tiny tooth marks on the sausage, Lynn wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
