Chapter 98: Sister Hua's Little Abacus
After learning the news of the student and rum, we planned to go to Sister Hua immediately, but this time I asked Bruni and Uncle Wei to stay on the boat, and asked Xiaoka to use iris mapping technology to change faces with me again.
With the face of Xiaoka, Lin Ruyi and I returned to the shore. Regardless of whether the bald guy of the Little Red Mansion is dead or alive, his subordinates will definitely seek revenge on us, but fortunately, it was only me and Bruni at the time, so they only knew the two of us, and as for the identity of the rum merchant, there are not many people on the island who know us now, and even if they find it at all, it is not so easy to find.
We casually asked a few pirates, and soon found out where Sister Hua lived.
Of course, it is impossible for a pirate disgrace like Sister Hua to live on the main island, her stronghold is on a small island near the main island, and we need to paddle over another pier on the main island.
After coming to the dock, there were a few pirates around there talking about the giant merchant ship that appeared today, and I just wanted to find out what the explosion was going on, so I took the cigarette I asked for from Uncle Wei and handed it over, and then leaned over to listen to it.
After a slightly exaggerated description by the pirates, I probably figured out about the giant merchant ship, but I was a little suspicious in my heart, according to what the pirates said, the giant merchant ship was also from the Dahua Empire in the East, that is, from the same place as Long Xin'er and the others, so what are these people from the Dahua Empire going to do? Paradise Island and the Golden Islands are both 108,000 miles away from the Great Chinese Empire, one is the overseas territory of the British Empire, and the other is the notorious pirate den, they have visited these two places successively, will there be any connection between them? I can still understand the visit to Paradise Island, whether it is to show the demeanor of the great powers of the East, or to establish trade exchanges, but it is really impossible to understand the visit to the Golden Islands, they also want to do business with pirates like us?
After listening to it, Lin Ruyi and I were thinking about where to get a boat to go to the island where Sister Hua was, but I didn't expect Sister Hua to come to the dock by boat.
After seeing Sister Hua, I hurriedly stepped forward and asked her, "What about those students and rum?" β
"How did you become this face again? What kind of monster are you? Sister Hua looked at me with a confused expression.
"You don't care what's going on with my face, where did those students and rum go?"
"The students have been locked up by me, and they will be sold to the slave market early tomorrow morning, and I will keep the rum, and I will have to negotiate the terms with Arthur." Sister Hua said calmly.
"Locked up? Still planning to sell to the slave fair? I looked at Sister Hua carefully, and after making sure that I didn't recognize the wrong person, I asked puzzledly, "Why did you do this?" β
"Please, it's true that I'm a disgrace to the pirate world, but I'm not mentally retarded in the pirate world! Those students thought they could get their companions back with a few cases of rum? I don't even dare to think of such a naΓ―ve idea! β
"But where is your conscience in doing this? Don't you have a moral bottom line? Lin Ruyi on the side couldn't help but ask.
"Conscience? This big sister, please don't insult my profession, okay? Don't you think it's ridiculous to talk to a pirate about your conscience? As for the moral bottom line, yes, I am the bottom line. β
In fact, Sister Hua is completely a dead duck with a hard mouth, if she is really as inhuman as other pirates, she will not fall to this point, let alone get the title of shame in the pirate world, the reason why she is saying this now, one is to be reckless, and the other is indeed a little helpless.
Since her last return, Sister Hua's pirate group has been disbanded, and the other members have been sold into slavery, while she herself may become Arthur's slave. In the time that followed, Sister Hua relied on all kinds of coolies to make money and finally ransomed several of her accomplices, and at the same time, she was looking forward to it day and night, and wanted to pray that we would appear soon, but she met me twice, and finally dispersed, seeing that the deadline was approaching, Sister Hua actually met those students by mistake, and got a lot of rum, she was excited and incoherent.
After Sister Hua thought about offering rum to Arthur, Arthur was happy to let her pirate group return to her old business, and although those students could sell them to the slave bazaar in exchange for start-up funds to start a new business, but in fact, Sister Hua couldn't do it at all, but she really didn't have the ability to help them rescue their companions, so she planned to restore the identity of the pirates, so she arranged for someone to forcibly send the students away from the Golden Islands.
"Actually, isn't it entirely because you didn't wait for us to show up? Now that we've come and seen Arthur, he's basically agreed to trade, so you just have to give us back the rum, and all the problems can be solved, and you don't have to go to the conscience. I looked at Sister Hua and said.
"You? Do you think I can trust you anymore? You saw me twice, and you didn't say goodbye twice, especially when you met me today, it was completely too late to hide from me, my sister Hua is not so easy to fool! What's more, now that the rum is in my hands, I can go directly to Arthur and talk to him myself, so why bother with you? β
"I'm afraid that the fat girl will recognize me, and you know what happened last time, so I didn't mean to avoid you."
"Don't explain, man's mouth, deceitful ghost! You don't have to think about wine or students! Sister Hua said with a stubborn face.
"Yang Keke!" In the face of the somewhat unreasonable Sister Hua, I was so excited that I shouted out her real name, which not only successfully attracted the attention of the nearby pirates, but also made Sister Hua stay in place on the spot.
"Sister Hua? Sister Hua? I stretched out my hand and shook it in front of Sister Hua's eyes, Sister Hua didn't react at all, just like a wooden stake, I asked Lin Ruyi with some worry, "It's over, won't this voice scare her stupidly, right?" β
"Then you can call Yang Keke again?"
"Yang Keke!"
"Huh?" I called Yang Keke again, and Sister Hua really came back to her senses, and she muttered to herself: "It's so strange, it's so strange, why do so many strange scenes suddenly flash in my mind when you call that name?" β
"Strange scenes? What strange scenes? I hurriedly asked.
"I can't remember" Sister Hua shook her head and said, "It was quite clear just now, why is it blurry all of a sudden, did you use some witchcraft on me?" β
I rolled my eyes at Sister Hua, wondering if Yang Keke's name could evoke part of her memory? I called Yang Keke a few times again, but this time Sister Hua didn't have any special reaction, could it be that only when she was unprepared, suddenly called her name, a moment of sudden stimulation could awaken part of her memory? If we extrapolate from this, is it possible that as long as we can name the person whose original name we can name? If you imagine it more boldly, maybe not necessarily by name, as long as something very familiar before the memory is remodeled, it is possible to awaken the memory of the stimulated person?
Seeing that I was suddenly stunned, Lin Ruyi stabbed me on the side and said, "Don't think about anything else now, hurry up and find a way to get her to return the rum." β
Knock knock! With a familiar and powerful footsteps, cold sweat broke out in my palms, and my heart was also weak for a while, and the cold wind swished in my back, and I didn't know what evil I had created in my previous life, why was it so inseparable from this fat girl?
