Chapter 9: Erin the Thief
"Yuan Li, your grandfather didn't kick this guy out." As the three of them walked down the road to the warehouse, Dove suddenly said, "This is really rare. ”
"I don't know, maybe grandpa has his own ideas." Yuan Li replied casually, "I won't spare him." ”
"Maybe I want him to pay off his debts with his life." Boiling said viciously.
Yuan Li didn't speak, although he seemed relatively calm on the surface, his anger was actually bursting!
Sneaking aboard the ship, wandering around his warehouse, ruining the greens he had worked so hard to find, and what makes him even more angry is that he almost hurts his grandfather!
Unforgivable!
"Let's see where the hell the thief came from, so bold!" Yuan Li opened the door to the warehouse.
A very retro iron cage is placed in front of the door, very conspicuous, which is obviously grandpa's style, retro but effective.
Yuan Li walked to the iron cage and looked at the thief inside, and his anger rose again.
What this person is wearing can no longer be called clothes, it is simply a rag fished out of the gutter, wearing this kind of thing to run to the warehouse, those green cauliflower is not bad!
But the tiny computer he had in his hand was worth a lot of money compared to what he was wearing, and the man would spend all his money on equipment, which really didn't look like he would take the risk because he was poor.
"Who sent you?" Yuan Li patted the iron railing, "Isn't it very good just now?" Didn't you make a sound when you heard we were coming? ”
"Humph! You interstellar hunters are really complicated, how can anyone send me, I just saw Raphael's announcement and came up to try my luck. ”
The man's voice was unpleasant, no, it was an electronically synthesized ugly mechanical sound.
"Keep your head up, if you're not lying, why don't you dare look at me?" Yuan Li asked viciously, "Do you know? You can't afford to lose the plants you spoiled, even if you sell them! ”
"Sell me?! Please wait a moment! I mean, I know it's wrong. The man suddenly became excited, "Please, don't do this, I'm really just here to try my luck!" Raphael put the news in the city that a green cauliflower could be exchanged for a day's rations, and if it weren't for the immaculate, I wouldn't have taken this risk at all! ”
"Raphael?" Yuan Li pondered this person's statement, and had to say that this was indeed something that Raphael would do, so it should be for this reason that they were surrounded at the port.
"That's all he told you?" Dove also asked anxiously.
"Really! I swear to God! ”
"Then you tell me," Yuan Li pointed to the computer in his hand, "How did you get this equipment?" This kind of device is not cheap in Junk City, and if you can afford it, there's no reason to risk it for a few days' rations! ”
"This? I did it myself. I used to make a living by modding rags! The man raised his hand and raised the microcomputer on his wrist to Dove, "You, I've seen you on the black market, you're a knowledgeable person, you can see if this thing is made by hand!" ”
Doff took a look at the probe in the past, was stunned for a moment, and then took out a magnifying glass and clamped it to the eye socket to look at it carefully, "The wiring is very rough and the hardware is very complete, but it is all hard to put together, but it seems to be made by yourself." ”
Yuan Li took a deep breath, "Your voice changer is also made by yourself?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"If Raphael didn't tell you anything, how did you know Cauliflower?" Yuan Li then asked.
"I ......"
"Wait." Yuan Li interrupted him, "Take off your voice changer, I really hate this sound, and also, take off your hood, if you're not lying, just look into my eyes and talk!" ”
The man was suddenly stunned, and put his hand on his hood, but he was stunned again.
"Listen, we're on our way to Earth right now, the Earth is remote, and my people have been bold since ancient times, and I'd be happy to sell you to my people for research, so that at least some of my losses can be compensated for a little! You'd better find a way to make me believe in you. ”
Hearing the word "sold", the man trembled visibly, and then took off his hood as if he had made up his mind.
But now it was Yuan Li's turn to be stunned, this person ...... It turned out to be a woman...... And he's an earthling!
An earthling with black hair and black eyes like himself!
Dove and Boiling looked at Yuan Li stupidly for a while, and looked at the thief in the cage for a while, and then Dove suddenly said,
"Yuan Li, I probably know why your grandfather didn't kick him out, no, I mean, don't kick her out!"
"The ......," the woman tugged off the voice changer tied around her neck, "are you really going to Earth?" ”
The woman's voice is actually very good, but Yuan Li didn't dare to confirm at this time whether she was deliberately showing a pitiful appearance with her acting skills.
"You'd better answer my question first, and then we'll talk about something else!" Yuan Li said indifferently.
"My name is Erin, Erin Dilimurati. Like Raphael, I am an earthling, a purebred earthling, born in Junk City. Everything on the earth is from childhood to adulthood, and I actually saw it for the first time, but I have been listening to my grandfather when I was a child. ”
Yuan Li rubbed his temples, "What about your family?" ”
"They...... It's all ......" Erin lowered her head, "all dead......"
"Dead?"
"Starving." Erin's voice was a little choked, "Originally, my dad was Raphael's guard...... Until...... Until all the guards are replaced by the Nokens, we ......"
Yuan Li sighed, "Okay, don't talk about it." ”
Erin suddenly threw herself in front of Yuan Li, tears had already begun to roll in her eyes, "Are you really going to Earth!" Please, can you keep me on board! I've never been back to Earth, and I want to go back to my hometown! I'll compensate for the broken vegetables! I'm useful, I can help you steal! Or I can stay here and work for you! I'm a fast learner! Really fast! ”
Yuan Li frowned and only felt a throbbing pain in his temples on both sides, "Okay, okay, I believe you for the time being, but this doesn't mean that I forgive you for sneaking away on the boat." ”
"Shall we ...... What to do with her? Dove asked with a wicked smile.
"Alas......" Yuan Li sighed, thought for a while and said, "It's not a way to lock her up here. ”
Yuan Li threw the key to Boiling Boil, "You take her to wash it first, find her clothes to change into, and dispose of the dirty cloth for me!" I'm going to make you something to eat, and I'll bring her to the kitchen in a moment, and I'll think about what to do with her. ”
After Yuan Li finished speaking, he walked to the kitchen.
Dove slapped Erin on the head, "Are you stupid?" Thank you, Captain! ”
Erin was agitated and immediately shouted at Yuan Li, "Thank you, Captain!" Thank you, Captain Yuan! I'm going to do a good job! ”
"Earth ......" Yuan Li suddenly stopped, turned back to Erin and said, "You'd better not look forward to the current earth." ”
