CH.16 Don't Slip on a Snowy Day (1)
It's almost the New Year, Liu Yan and Yin Xinshui finished shopping in the newly opened supermarket, and they came back with a big bag of things. Although Yin Xinshui's monthly salary is more than twice that of Liu Yan, Liu Yan still insists on paying by himself, saying that it is a matter of principle for men to pay.
When they arrived at the door, they saw a young man with a beautiful face and a young girl who could win the favor of young girls, tall and tall, wearing a famous brand, rubbing his hands hesitantly, pacing back and forth, and a Mustang GT trotting behind him, imitating the barricade decoration of the police car in the movie "Transformers", which was worth a lot at a glance.
Yin Xinshui seemed to recognize him: "You...... You're Fang Tian's former boyfriend, right? β
Without waiting for the man to answer, Yin Xinshui said to Liu Yan: "This is an alumnus of my police academy......" but she was embarrassed to forget his name, it is said that this kid especially likes to cause trouble outside, which is probably the reason why Fang Tian is no longer willing to pay attention to him.
Fortunately, the young man was very alert, and immediately said, "My name is Teng Yue." β
He and she didn't make much introductions, but Liu Yan had already guessed that it was not far from ten. At the age of twenty-five or sixteen, he can drive a Mustang sports car, and his surname Teng is biased, so he can only be the son of Teng Jingya, the boss of Yanzhou Electric Company. Liu Yan's father retired after the restructuring, the old power bureau became the current power company, managing the power of four or five cities, Teng Jingya belongs to the deputy department-level cadres, with a good annual salary and grandiose to run all kinds of enterprises: cement, real estate, etc., is a master that few people dare to offend.
Teng Yue smiled gently: "Officer Yin, I listen to Shan Zhiyuβit's your high school classmate, right?" Listening to Shan Zhiyu, Fang Tian lived on the seventh floor. It's just so time you're back, so open the door for me. I rang the doorbell, but she ignored me now......"
Yin Xinshui was stunned, and asked with some embarrassment: "Why ......?" Don't you know? Fang Tian immigrated to the United States half a year ago to find her parents, and she is still a small town sheriff! Now no one lives in No. B on the seventh floor......"
Teng Yue's eyes widened: "What? I...... I stayed at my uncle's house in Malaysia for half a year...... I don't know about it...... She said she would leave, and she didn't even tell me ......! Why did she treat me like that? She asked me not to fight, I stopped fighting a long time ago, she said I was a playboy, but who else did I spend after I met her? I just like her......"
Yin Xinshui Zhengse said: "Teng Yue, don't get me wrong, Xiao Tian is not this kind of person. First, although her own family background is not bad, after all, her conditions are too different from yours, and she is afraid that others will talk about her climbing high branches behind her back. The second is ...... And most importantly, she once told me that she had to transform you. That's right, you're not the same as those prodigal children who show mercy everywhere, but you're quite dedicated to your feelings. But the rest of you is so capricious that it can be said to be irresponsible. How many fights did you fight in your freshman and sophomore years? You were dissuaded from the police academy twice, and if it weren't for your dad's relationship, you wouldn't have been able to go to your sophomore year at all! In your sophomore year, you actually wear a police uniform to help people fight, and it is normal to be expelled, who can tolerate such a student? Besides, your father and Qin Boqian are very close, you don't know how the prosperous Taoyuan real estate in the western suburbs was successfully demolished, right? It was your father who accepted Qin Boqian's benefits and privately and domineeringly cut off the electricity to the entire local village! Tian Tian is a very conservative and jealous person, she doesn't want one day you fall into the evil way, or your family is ruined because of corruption, and she doesn't want to stand on the opposite side of you when you have to face Qin Boqian. When she finds out that she really can't reform you, she decides to give up the relationship, forget about you and leave you......"
Teng Yue asked eagerly, "Where did you go?" Where the hell did she go? β
"In a small town called Xilin in Nevada, I heard that the surrounding area is desert, and the purchasing staff goes back and forth once a month like a merchant, and it takes a long time to walk, and I can't find it on the map, so I have to go to the local area to buy a tourist map. By the way, you ...... Are you supposed to be ......? β
"Yes, thank you, Officer Yin," Teng Yue said with a firm expression, "I'll buy a plane ticket, I'm going to find her in that town and propose to her!" β
A week later, in the nearly 30,000-square-mile sea of sand near Mount Nevada, a dilapidated second-hand Buick off-road was jolting down cactus-lined Highway 95. As far as the eye can see, the endless desert is filled with a sad death, where it may not be very hot during the day, but in the winter evenings it will rain swan feathers, and the temperature will be unbearably low. Nevada originally means "snow covered".
To the south of the Frontier is the famous Las Vegas, but unfortunately the owner of the Buick has to go north to find his lover in the mysterious land of the American West. This is the home of cowboys, the birthplace of North American mining, so most of the buildings retain the wild and bleak style of the 19th century, and there are fewer and fewer human buildings to see along the way, and almost all of them are ruins, and all that is alive is the docile herbivores who have rarely seen humans. By the third day, the white snow and crimson dunes are the only sights left to capture with the eye. For nearly 100 years, thousands of planes have disappeared like Bermuda, making its fame smell of blood.
Teng Yue tuned the radio, listening carefully to the weather, and his back seat was filled with all kinds of food and drinks, which were enough to cope with a sudden snowstorm. Teng Yue has been abroad for many years, his spoken language is also good, there is no language barrier, after the weather forecast is broadcast, he begins to broadcast the classic love songs of the old pop group Qingshui Band, and he can also hum two sentences along with it.
Teng Yue hummed and found that in addition to himself and the voice on the radio, there was also an incongruous noise. He glanced ahead and saw a dilapidated pickup truck, and a scruffily dressed, short, thin white man was waving vigorously to him, shouting something. Of course Teng Yue didn't dare to stop, he knew that this place was not as good as the country, in a country with great material abundance, there were all kinds of perverted murderers, and it was a desert for three days in a row, and it was uninhabited, if people wanted to harm themselves, it was easy for them to be inconspicuous, and the more kind and kind they were, the more likely they were to be perverted. Teng Yue practiced a few punches and kicks at the police academy, and few people except Yang Zhaolin could beat him down, and he was good at fighting, but in this world where guns are proliferating, everything has become equal.
Seeing that Teng Yue had no intention of stopping, the man suddenly accelerated and ran towards this side. Teng Yue was not completely familiar with the second-hand car he had just bought, and he was forced to stop by him before he had time to dodge it. Teng Yue was not an American citizen, and he had no way to buy a gun when he first arrived, so he had to hold a large meat cleaver he bought from a tool store tightly to prevent the other party from suddenly attacking.
"Dude," the man shouted hoarsely in thick, ugly slang, "I'm a local, the car broke down, can you take me to Xilin Town?" β
Teng Yue didn't know how to refuse him, so he bluffed: "Okay! I happen to be going to Xilin, and someone there wants to hire me as a kung fu teacher, so show me the way! β
The lewd-looking man didn't seem to have any bad motives, so his expression didn't change because of this, he nodded, and opened the car door with a flattering smile. Teng Yue smelled the strange smell of car oil and sweat mixed together, and was a little nauseated. The guy grinned, stinking and saying, "Call me Duncan." Young man, you're visiting the local area for the first time, right? Is it Chinese or Japanese? β
"Chinese. I came to my friend. β
"Your friend is also Chinese?"
"yes, woman." Teng Yue asked, "Do you know?" β
"I don't know. Although this town is not large, there are really many Chinese, about twenty or thirty. Can you elaborate on that? β
Teng Yue was surprised and thought secretly: "How can there be so many Chinese?" β
Duncan seemed to see his doubts and said, "You don't know the history of Xilin. This is an ancient town that has existed for at least 200 years. When the gold mines of Commix and Camstock were discovered in 1850, they were first excavated by outsiders, and then a large number of Chinese laborers poured in. These guys are shrewd, and they don't rush to dig with others, but they open many hotels, consignment stations, bars and restaurants near the gold mine discovery, and even run tool shops specializing in shovels and hoes. It is said that at that time, not only gold was discovered, but also more valuable minerals were discovered, which caused a lot of firefights...... Of course, I don't know much about what the old people said. In short, these Chinese are the descendants of those shrewd people back then, and they have never walked out of here for generations, and some even have braids! β
