Yiyi is a resident of Qingcheng Town, how could he come here and make money at the Pink Paradise Skin and Meat Market? She sent her to the north gate of the town before the postman rushed to Vault 1001, telling him to be careful on the road and go home early.

He didn't rush out rashly, because he heard another piece of information from the Pink Heaven manager------ the loud man was a slave trader.

Why did the slave traders in the Langya settlement attack the people of Qingcheng Town?

It is important to know that the slave trade is a networked trading system, and most of the goods that slave traders put into the market to trade come from other places, so that many troubles can be avoided.

Under normal circumstances, the slave traders in the Langya settlement would not have done anything to the people of Qingcheng Town.

The second puzzling part is that the slave traders want to make a deal with Pink Paradise and sell the people directly, so why do they use the method of affiliation?

Could it be that the slave trader turned into a broker?

He felt that things might be more complicated than he thought, so he didn't go out, patiently waiting for the two to negotiate.

After a few hagglings, the slave trader paid Pink Heaven a sum of money for his medical bills and went out with Yiyi.

Tang Yan then left Pink Heaven, far behind the two.

The slave trader took the girl's hand and turned left and right, and finally entered a building not far from the entrance to the settlement.

Tang Yan didn't follow, stood downstairs for a while, and saw the lights in a room on the left of the fourth floor turn on and off.

He smoked a cigarette downstairs, knocked on the door of the restaurant, told the boss to roast some mutant double-headed beef, and sat down on a chair next to the outdoor table.

The owner of the restaurant is a very talkative person, and he tells him stories about his settlement in Langya over and over again, such as the strange tastes of some diners, where celebrities are full of praise for his craftsmanship, and the lace news of the leader of the Yunmeng Mercenary Regiment......

After the two mutated double-ended beef skewers were served, the boss gave them two more bottles of beer for free.

Tang Yan felt that it was quite boring to drink alone, so he invited the boss to join him.

The man was not only a chatter, but also a self-acquaintance, pulled over the chair and sat opposite Tang Yan, and the two chatted while drinking.

Tang Yan asked him to drink with him for a purpose, and he wanted to ask the owner of the restaurant for information about the slave trader who took Yiyi away.

The owner of the restaurant said a lot, but it was all things he didn't care about. It wasn't until the other party told the story that several military trucks had entered the city in the middle of the night three days ago, and he vaguely heard the sound of a woman crying.

Military Truck ...... The sound of a woman crying......

Tang Yan marked it in his heart and continued to drink with the owner of the restaurant.

When the east showed a slight whiteness and the night receded silently, General Wang came from the side of the street.

He was the only one, his back was a little heavy, and his face was very dignified.

Tang Yan told the owner of the restaurant to grill some more mutated double-ended beef skewers and hot wine.

General Wang didn't ask him why he left Pink Heaven, sat down and picked up a skewer of barbecue meat and put it in his mouth, then frowned, not knowing if it was because it was unpalatable, or if the cold mutated double-headed beef had a smell.

"How?"

Tang Yan poured half a glass of the only wine in the bottle.

General Wang took a deep breath and pressed his fingers back with his hands and fingers on his forehead to pull back his short hair.

"She won't say yes."

Tang Yan frowned: "Why?" ”

He couldn't figure it out, General Wang had already done this, what was that woman still insisting on?

Xia Xin told him that the girl in Pink Heaven has the right to redeem herself, and General Wang has been a cook in the Panda People Legion for several years, even if he doesn't have Xiaohong's funding, his own savings can almost afford the redemption fee, not to mention that he has a friend who has just made a big deal behind him.

Let any normal person judge and live a worry-free life in Vault 1017 than in Pink Paradise.

"She said she had low self-esteem."

"She has low self-esteem?"

"Yes, she said she wasn't worthy of me."

“……”

"She said that I am following you now, and it is likely that I will achieve greater things in the future, and I should find a woman who is prettier and cleaner than her. She didn't say goodbye at the time, she just didn't want me to find her. Maybe in my opinion, this is a deep feeling, but for her, it is a pressure and hurt. Tang Yan, tell me, what does she mean by saying these words? I don't understand it at all. ”

“……”

Tang Yan can somewhat understand some of Xiaohong's psychology.

Like a normal family, men and women must pay attention to the right person when they get married, which is related to the balance of status and values.

Xiaohong is a girl from Pink Heaven, and when she leaves that place, she usually marries a laborer in an urban area, or a farmer in a village or town.

If the Panda Man Legion is still the former Panda Man Legion, and General Wang is still the former General Wang, it is acceptable for the two to come together in the end.

Now it's different, the rapid development of the Panda Man Legion has made many people dumbfounded, and the cook has become a trustworthy person around him, and the gap between his identity and Xiaohong's identity is getting wider and wider.

Maybe General Wang thinks that love can overcome everything, but for Xiaohong, this huge gap in identity will become an alarm clock, waking up every morning to remind her of what she has done before, and she is not worthy of the man next to her.

Over time, the stress of reality can become a psychological injury.

So she is now very repulsive to General Wang.

And this rejection comes more from inferiority and self-abandonment.

At this time, the owner of the restaurant brought the newly baked mutated double-ended beef skewers and scalded liquor, told Tang Yan to call him if he needed anything, and then turned around and walked into the store.

"Tang Yan, you're talking." General Wang drank the bitter wine in the cup and looked at Tang Yan with blank eyes.

"Say what?" Tang Yan glanced up at him: "Did you say that you would die?" ”

"You know, I don't care...... I don't care who she is, why won't she go with me? Why can't she let herself go? ”

Tang Yan said: "If I were you, I wouldn't bother her during this time." ”

"Like you did with Caiwei?"

"......" At this moment, Deputy Head Tang hated to strangle the cook.

General Wang slammed the skewered barbecue meat in his palm, slapped it into his mouth, and drank a large glass of wine.

Tang Yan took a sip of the wine lightly, feeling that the taste was a bit single, as light as water, it should be a small koji wine made of sorghum

"Are you sure she won't marry in this life?"

"Uh-huh." General Wang took out the knife that Xiaohong had given him from his arms, put it on the dining table and rubbed it gently, as if he were a baby.

The knives are new and the blades are bright.

Although the cook had always carried it with him, Tang Yan had never seen him use it.

"If you really don't mind her past, recognize her alone in this life, I have a way or can solve the problem between you."

General Wang raised his head, his face slightly red in the morning light trembling.

"What's the solution?"

Tang Yan looked at the soldiers of the city defense army in the Langya settlement who were starting to hand over outside, and said, "It's not time to ...... yet."

"Now is not the time, how long will it take?"

Tang Yan didn't speak, his gaze turned to the city.

Zhao Guangren walked from there with a cigarette in his mouth, and after a night of fighting, the surface of the silver-white P-62 power armor was full of scratches and bloodstains, and it looked dirty and a little embarrassed.

However, even so, the soldiers who had just retired from their patrol posts passed by him, and they would look at him and the Yanhuang Brotherhood icon on his shoulder armor with envy and amazement.

When Zhao Guangren came to the front of the restaurant, the proprietress who had just gotten up took the opportunity to add a chair with a bright appearance, and said good morning with a smile, along with a charming eye full of deep meaning.

The morning sun shone on her powdered face, hiding the traces of time.

The owner of the restaurant settled several soldiers who had left their posts and greeted them warmly: "Do you want to burn another pot of wine?" ”

He didn't see the lady's flattering eyes, and there was a smile on her white face because she stayed up late.

Zhao Guangren, who took off the P-62 power armor, waved his hand, sat down against Tang Yan, looked at the wine jug in front of General Wang and frowned: "Do you drink early in the morning...... Boss, two catties of mutated double-headed beef, and three bowls of offal soup. ”

"Good Ratcha." The boss dragged the reluctant proprietress down.

General Wang glanced at Zhao Guangren: "The people of the Yanhuang Brotherhood have a lot of money......

"......" Zhao Guangren shook his head with a wry smile.

Tang Yan asked about the Yanhuang Brotherhood soldier's situation, and the other party told him that there was no major problem, and then he only had to wait for the Yanhuang Brotherhood people to take them away, and they would be able to recover after a month or two of resting at the base.

As the sun rises, so do the number of customers.

The first group of scavengers and merchants from other places entered the city in the morning sun, and many of them sat down at the table not far away with wind and dust, beckoning the boss to take food and drink.

The proprietress went in and out to serve tea and water, and her eyes would always sweep over Zhao Guangren's face intentionally or unintentionally.

A member of the Yanhuang Brotherhood wearing a specially painted P-62 power armor is an eye-catching object wherever he goes, not to mention that he also has a sun-like face.

On the other hand, Tang Yan and General Wang, whether they look or dress, are very ordinary and ordinary.

The cook was somewhat sympathetic to the restaurant owners, because they were in some ways peers.

Men are responsible for making money to support their families, and women are responsible for being beautiful like flowers? Who is beautiful as a flower? This is a problem.

Guests came and went, and breakfast had been over for a while before the slave trader came down from the upstairs behind the restaurant.

I could see that the man's mood was very unhappy, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and his eyes were constantly shining fiercely, looking like everyone was an enemy.

Yiyi walked behind him, his right cheek was red and swollen, thinking that he had been punished by the slave traders after returning from Pink Paradise yesterday.

Tang Yan frowned, a trace of anger flashing across his face.

He asked the two of them to wait for him at the place where the modified pickup truck was parked, got up and left the restaurant, and followed Yiyi.

He had followed the two of them here before dawn, and he had thought that the slave trader's lair was upstairs behind, but now it seemed that it was not.

There were not many customers in the shopping street in the early morning, and the sound of the rolling shutter doors opening was sporadical.

Tang Yan followed the two out of the living area, crossed the commercial street, and came to the area near the Yishui River.

At the entrance to the street where the city guard camp was located, the slave traders turned left and entered a courtyard guarded by guards.

Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, because judging from the plaque hanging at the courtyard gate, it should be the yamen where the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the City Defense Army is located.

Why did the slave traders bring Yiyi to such a place?

Seeing the two disappear around the corner in front of him, he looked at the energetic guards on both sides of the courtyard gate and felt a little nerve-wracked.

Is it hard to break?

The point is that I don't know anything now, and it's always a bit reckless to break in.

Just when he was in a dilemma and couldn't decide what to do, a man came out of the courtyard guarded by the guards.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw that face.

Because he knew that man------ juniper.

It was Juniper, a first-class reserve officer of the Yunmeng Mercenary Regiment who broke up in Hulu Valley a few days ago.

How did he end up here?

Tang Yan didn't put his mind on this issue, and went up and patted the other party on the shoulder.

Juniper has been thinking about things since he went out, and he didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation, when he was suddenly slapped in the face, and he couldn't help but shiver and looked up at the comer.

When Tang Yan's face fell into his eyes, the first-class reserve officer of the Yunmeng Mercenary Regiment almost bit his tongue.

He never imagined that he would meet Deputy Leader Tang of the Panda Man Legion here.

"Shh Tang Yan made a silent gesture to him and pulled him to the alley next to him.

……

After some conversation between the two sides, Tang Yan knew the purpose of Juniper's visit.

After the two broke up in Hulu Valley, Juniper returned to the base to report the incident, because there were photos of the soldiers of the Yunmeng Mercenary Regiment fighting blue super mutants and giant living corpses, and there was no doubt about his words.

In line with humane considerations, the Yunmeng Mercenary Group gave him half a month's vacation to stabilize his mood and adjust his state.

After all, 51 people went, but only one of them survived, and this experience was a heavy blow to any normal person, and it is likely to become a nightmare in the future.

Juniper stayed at the Yunmeng Mercenary Group base for a few days before coming to the Langya settlement, preparing to stay with his father for a few days. Today he came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the City Defense Army to give gifts to the supervisors, after all, he was absent most of the time, and the soldiers in the City Defense Army often went to visit the old man and help with some manual work or something.

After learning of this situation, Tang Yan talked about the slave trader and Yiyi, and then asked Juniper to do him a favor------ and use the excuse of buying Yiyi to get close to the slave trader and figure out the ins and outs of the matter.

How to say that he is also a member of the Yunmeng mercenary group, I saw Yiyi's appearance just now, and my father is a member of the Langya settlement, so his appearance will basically not attract the suspicion of slave traders.

Juniper didn't hesitate and agreed to come down.

After Tang Yan agreed on a meeting place with him, he left the street where the barracks was located and returned to the parking point for the modified pickup truck.

………………

Halfway through the morning, Juniper came over, Tang Yan pulled him closer to the cab, and the two of them muttered inside for a long time.

Through the information that Juniper inquired about from the slave traders, he had an intuitive understanding of Yiyi's affairs.

As he thought, it was a bit complicated, and it wasn't just a slave trade.
