One hundred and forty-one, Harmon
The Squirrel Inn is located in the church district near the business district, the location is a bit remote, but the area is not small.
Like most of the "famous" buildings at the intersection, it is a three-story building with a cement structure that has been remodeled from a "pre-disaster" building.
It is said that there are more than 50 rooms that can accommodate travelers.
Not surprisingly, the vast majority of them are still empty.
Because the owner and operator of the inn really don't look like a businessman.
His name was Harmon, and he was an old-looking man, but he was quite burly and his eyes were quite sharp.
Wende and his party came here under the leadership of Richard, and when Harmon saw it, his first reaction was not to come out to greet the guests, but to ignore them: "I don't help refugees here." "It looks like he doesn't want to be received.
Winder was speechless, and after thinking about it, he brought up Katerina's name.
Hamon's face turned cloudy, and he looked Winder up and down, "That guy actually introduced you to me?" After a pause, he didn't delve into it, but said some rules of residence.
For example, what accommodation fees must be paid in advance, the room should be cleaned during the stay, and the damage to items should be compensated.
The rules are simply too big.
However, Winder decided to stay here after listening to the introduction.
The reason is very simple, this hotel is quite rare to have complete water and electricity!
Even when electricity was limited and the water was only well water, after walking in the wilderness of the wasteland for so long, Wende still wanted to take a break in a more "comfortable" place.
He paid for the room happily, and asked for a single room for himself, and a small courtyard for everyone to live inβthere were five rooms in it, and it was not crowded for four people.
The environment was better than where many of the people in this group had lived, so they were all overjoyed when they heard the news, and they began to move the things they had looted from the car to the room where they lived, under the guidance of the waiter.
Seeing this, Harmon raised his chin, "These are all your men?" β
Winder nodded, "Sort of." β
"They don't seem to be much like you." Harmon said: "If you are alone, it will be more like beating the little master who ran out there." β
Accustomed to being teased by Caterina in the last few days, Winder was unimpressed, "You guessed wrong. β
"Really?" Harmon didn't delve into it, but instead asked how Winder met Katarina.
There's nothing to hide from this, Winder told the truth, and Harmon is not surprised, obviously close to Caterina and knows her whereabouts.
He guessed something from this, "You and Carter saved these people?" Seeing Wende nodding, he said, "It's rare to see you guy." β
Winder wondered, "How do you say that?" β
"Usually people like you don't live long."
Harmon replied, and Winder couldn't help but laugh, and when he saw him wave to himself, he thought about it and walked to the bar where Harmon was sitting. He took out a bottle from the wine cabinet in the back and poured a glass for Wende, "Let's try this." β
It is a high wine, and the color is a little cloudy, but the wine is quite strong.
Wende tasted it, it tasted pretty good, it didn't burn his throat much, it was rare in this era, so he praised: "Not bad." β
Harmon said, "You know better than that guy." After Wende finished drinking, he poured another glass.
Wende didn't refuse, but just gave Hamon cigarettes in exchange with courtesy. Hamon took it with a happy face, and took half of it in one bite, but his brows were slightly furrowed, "It's soft and weak!" β
Winder smiled, thought for a moment, and then took two cigars out of his bag.
I wanted to introduce it, but I didn't want Hamon to smoke it, although the action was a little clumsy. "You have this good thing? Are you still willing to do it? It's not something you can buy for a few silver coins. He took a sip of the cut and roasted cigar to his lips and said, "No! That's a great thing! It's a lot more expensive than my wine......"
That being said, Hamon was reluctant to put the cigar down. He thought for a moment, and saw that the group of people behind Wende were still unloading things from the car, and asked tentatively, "Where did you get these things back?" Seeing Wende nodding, he said, "Do you have any intention of making a move?" I can put you in touch - no rake. "But I'm going to use this to return the favor.
Winder smiled disapprerovingly, "That's trouble." β
Winder chatted with Harmon for a while, and only after he had been called away did he drink the remnants of his glass before getting up and leaving. Before returning to his room, he went around the courtyard where everyone lived, and saw that most of them had settled down and were preparing their own dinner using the stove provided by the inn.
Seeing this, Winder asked Anna, "Everything is still available, what needs to be placed?" β
Anna replied, "Everything is very good, but we don't have enough food." β
Winder thought for a moment, "I'd like to buy some from Harmon." β
Anna didn't mean anything, but a person next to her heard it and stepped forward and said, "Sir, the price of buying things from the shopkeeper must be higher." β
"Oh?" Winder smiled and asked, "Then what do you have in mind?" β
"We can find a store that sells grain and buy it ourselves, and there will be no such a big intersection as it is." The man replied, paused, and said hesitantly: "There are also things we brought back, if you contact the store yourself, you should be able to ask for more prices......
That's what I said, but in practice, it may not be the case, the crossroads are very strange to Wende and these people, the phenomenon of killing can be seen, and the real oneself may not be as much as the local snake Hamon comes forward.
However, after listening to this, Wende still looked at the man carefully, and vaguely remembered that his name was Robben, but he was not very impressed, because as one of the few men in the group, Robben did not perform well along the way, until he suddenly stood up at this moment.
Winder pondered for a moment and asked him with a smile, "Since you suggested this, you must be somewhat sure?" β
Robben couldn't hold back his excitement when he heard it, "Before I was caught by that group of people, I was a famous businessman, and I was running with my uncle, and I still have some experience." After a pause, he hesitantly added, "Although I haven't been here, some of the businessmen who have interacted with my uncle have stayed here. β
This information is something that has not been known before, and the group of people who came to the intersection with Wende have never taken the initiative to ask about their origins except for Anna.
But some of them who intend to show sincerity in front of Wende have also taken the initiative to confess openly and secretly.
Robben hadn't done it before, and it was even more interesting to suddenly stand up this time.
However, Winder did not refuse him, "Then you can try to contact the food." He motioned for Anna to take out a few public silver coins and give them to Robben, "Can you do it the day after tomorrow?" β
Robben clutched the silver coin tightly, his face flushed with excitement, "It won't take that long, it will be done tomorrow!" β
"Don't be in such a hurry, the quality of the food still has to be guaranteed." Wende smiled, thought for a moment, and then said, "As for the things we brought back." It's hard to break your promise to the boss. Seeing that Robben's face was a little confused, he smiled and waved his hand, "So I can't give it all to you - well, one-fifth of it, if you can get the food right, I can leave it to you." β
Robben replied loudly, "I will definitely try!" "I didn't want to stay for a moment, and I was about to turn away, but I didn't forget to try to take the two of them with meβmaybe to be safe, or maybe to reassure Winder.
However, Wende didn't mean to intervene, but while Anna looked at it, she stopped talking, but she endured it until there was no one else around, and then she suggested euphemistically: "Sir, it's not appropriate for you to arrange it like this." β
Winder stopped her with a smile, "Robben bought the grain back, you should be carefulβwell, let's show it to me." As for the rest, you leave him alone. β
Winder laughed as high as he could, "I have my own measure. β
