Chapter 94 People with lofty ideals
Old John's beer, home-brewed, was released from a log barrel with a faucet and handed to the two.
The taste of the beer is mellow, and Yoshimoto drank it all.
"We're here to find someone, have any strangers been here in the last few days?"
Caitlin confessed to Old John the purpose of the trip.
Old John was stunned, and did a good job of hiding the strange emotions revealed, "No, I have always lived alone here, and my son's family works in Boston, and they rarely come back." ”
"We're looking for a man, sometimes a big strong guy."
Old John looked at Gibbon in bewilderment.
"No, it's much bigger, but sometimes he's not that strong, and this guy is dangerous."
Old John picked up the empty wine glass in front of Gibbon and poured him another beer.
"Thank you", Gibbon took the beer glass.
"You're welcome, I don't know who the guy you're looking for is, but I think you've probably come to the wrong place, and you've had enough beer, you can look elsewhere, and I won't delay your work."
Before the ass was hot, old John walked to the door and opened it again, which was tantamount to an eviction order.
Caitlin looked around the house and found no sign of anyone else, and could not force her to stay in Old John's house, which was suspected of violating civil rights.
"Thank you for your hospitality, old John."
But as soon as Caitlyn walked out of the house, she suddenly stopped, turned back and asked, "What's the matter with that big hole in that cornfield?" ”
Old John's eyes widened slightly, and his tone became a little vague.
"I don't know, kid."
Caitlin's eyes snapped to the low red house, the warehouse of Old John's Farm, the door of which had been closed but not locked, and the farm equipment was still outside.
Old John seems to have been hiding something.
"Yoshimoto, go take a look at that warehouse."
"No, no! Hold it! ”
Old John rushed to the door of the warehouse, picked up the axe used to chop wood from the wooden pier, and blocked Gibbon's way.
Yoshimoto is from the alliance special combat team, and his combat ability is quite outstanding, and he has accumulated rich battlefield experience in several battles after joining the quantum company, and he will naturally not be afraid of an old man who is just holding an axe.
Old John saw that the big man did not listen to his warning, and in his anger, he thought of making this unknown fellow suffer a little, and slashed at Gibbon with an axe.
Old John didn't want to hurt anyone, he just wanted to scare the other party away.
But Yoshimoto did not retreat, but advanced, easily caught the chopped axe with one hand, took it and threw it aside, and then pressed old John's shoulder with his thick arm, so that he could not resist.
"For the sake of beer, I don't want to be rude to you, I'm just going to go in this warehouse and have a look, if it's okay, we'll get out of here soon, and if you agree, I'll let you go......"
"No, get me out of here right now! You are trying to break into my place without my permission. ”
Old John tried to break Gibbon's arm with all his might, but Gibbon's arm was as thick as an old tree trunk and did not move.
"We have no intention of intruding on your private grounds, but we should give way to the trouble," Gibbon forced Old John out of the way and walked to the door of the warehouse.
"Bang!"
As soon as a shot rang out, John Sr. pulled out a revolver from his waist, fired a shot into the air, and then aimed it at Gibbon's back.
"Big man, if you go one step further, I promise I won't shoot at the sky again."
Yoshimoto immediately raised his hands.
Caitlin saw that the situation was not right, and slowly approached the irritable old man, and said, "Old John, please put down the gun first, we have no ill intentions, and in fact it will not help." ”
"Stand back! There's no one you're looking for. ”
Just when the two sides were tense and arguing, there was a sudden "creak" and the door opened a gap.
Gibbon suddenly became alert and took two steps back.
Caitlin no longer cared about old John, but stood beside Gibbon.
The door to the warehouse was fully opened, and a thinner young man stepped out of it, still wearing clothes that clearly did not fit well, and appeared to be somewhat loose.
"Old John, put the gun down, there's no need for this, they're here for me."
"Kid ......"
Old John sighed, but put the gun away.
"Hey, I just don't want to hurt anyone anymore, old John is a good guy, he took me in, what happened last time, I can only say sorry, that's not my will, I just can't control ......"
Eddie apologizes for what happened on the mothership, when he was drugged and he was in a state of rage, and he couldn't control his emotions and behavior.
"It was just a misunderstanding, and we can all understand it."
Eddie nodded, "I'll get out of here right away and find a place where no one is around, old John, thank you for taking care of me these days, I love this sunny place, and these animals on the farm, I used to work with animals a lot, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do that work anymore, all in all, I'll miss you." ”
"You can stay here."
"I'm a dangerous person......"
"Wait", Caitlin interrupted Add's chatter, "Listen to me, we're not here to gossip, we need your help, Add." ”
"You're going to drop me on the ship, too?"
Add asked cautiously.
"Of course not, we won't do that, I promise", Caitlyn looked at him with a sincere look.
"What's your name, Katie? Or Cather? ”
"Catelyn."
"We don't seem to know each other very well", Eddie's trust in the woman in front of him is still instinctively reserved.
"Then I assure you in the name of Dr. Crescent and Ning Fei, you are all familiar friends, we have formed a team to maintain the safety of this world, but we are in trouble now, Hellfire has the most powerful weapons on the planet, they can destroy everything at any time, countless people may die because of this, this war must be ended, I know you have your concerns, but this is a very moment, we need people with lofty ideals to step up, Add, we need your wisdom and ability to help us."
"You're not worried about me becoming a ...... again That weird guy. ”
Seeing that Eddie's attitude had changed a lot, Gibbon actually stepped forward and patted Eddie's shoulder, "Don't worry, I've seen a lot of weirder guys, we can handle it." And it doesn't have to be so bad every time. ”
Add finally nodded.
"As long as I don't turn into a beast again."
Moments later, the plane took off from the farm and left the sky over the cornfield.
