Chapter XVII. Transactions
The Sand City is still lit up at dawn, and it is a never-ending industrial city, producing and processing all kinds of materials at every moment to supply the nine surrounding silver cities.
In the oak bar, the owner wiped the last glass, closed the door, and extinguished the last lights. At this time, in a guest room on the second floor of the bar, You Gejuan was sleeping on the bed, and Iron Slag was sitting in the corner with a machete and his eyes closed.
The morning light peeked in through the window of the room, shining on the old wooden floor, bringing a little warmth to the room.
You Ge turned over, his clear eyes reflecting a glimmer of light. She stared at the iron slag, not the slightest drowsiness on her face.
"Can't sleep?" A teenager's whisper came from the corner. "Hmm~" "What are you thinking?" "We ...... Will we ever see each other again? "Probably not."
"Why......" You Ge exhaled faintly, leaning sideways to look out the window at the morning light. She knew the answer to the question, but wanted to ask him again. The past few days of getting along have made her a little reluctant.
"Silver City...... It's beautiful up there, isn't it? "Well, the streets are lined with trees, the sun shines through the leaves, and there are always birds chirping overhead. At noon in summer, I will lie on the rattan chair in the garden and take a morning break, so comfortable~" "You will be home soon." "What about you, where are you going?" "Go home."
"Is it cold in winter there?" You Ge subconsciously wrapped himself in a blanket. She remembered that last winter, she stood on the edge of the Silver City and looked at the white expanse of the ground. Listen to the temperature below will be as low as minus forty degrees. At that time, she was curious about how people on the ground should live in such an environment.
"It's cold, and if you don't feel good, you get frostbitten. But as long as there is enough fuel, you can warm the house; Sometimes I'll go to the old cow and get sand scorpion meat, and eat it hot while boiling water, and it's as comfortable as you guys. ”
Listening to the young man's gentle words, You Ge's heart felt a tightening, and a feeble pain spread through his chest. There seemed to be tears in her starry eyes. She rolled over and pretended to be asleep.
The room was quiet.
A few hours later......
A bell rang in the sky above the sand city, and the sound of "Dangdang ......" rang nine times in a row. The sound of the bell rings in all directions, heralding the end of the evening shift and the beginning of the morning shift in the factory.
The iron slag was assembled, and after checking out, he walked out of the oak bar with You Ge. At this time, he saw the big fat guy sitting in the driver's seat of a pickup truck waving to him.
"Brother Tie, I'll send you over, your locomotive can be placed in the back." The big fat guy shouted loudly, and his thick voice broke the silence around him.
"Afraid I won't give you money?" Iron Slag asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Iron ...... Brother Tie, which ...... Where, I ...... I'm not worried about you. ”
"Worried about what?" Iron Slag asked in a deep voice, and his vulture-like gaze swept over.
"I didn't ...... Nothing, a qiēshun lì, a qiēshun lì! The big fat guy scratched his head, "Don't worry, I do things in Lu Shanhai, and you don't know it." ”
Iron Slag snorted coldly, and the big fat guy hurriedly got out of the car and lifted the locomotive parked at the door of the bar onto the pickup truck. Just as the big fat guy was moving the locomotive, You Ge approached the iron slag and whispered in his ear, "Is the big fat man reliable?" ”
Iron Slag whispered to her that the big fat guy was from Iron Mountain Town, and he was a reliable partner from picking up garbage with him for a living. You Ge pursed his lips and looked at the back of the big fat guy with some doubts......
After a while, the big fat guy fixed the locomotive in the body, and then he beckoned the two to get on the train, and then drove the pickup truck to the agreed place north of the sand city.
More than ten minutes later, they came to the place designated by the coordinates. It was an abandoned gas station, surrounded by rusty barbed wire. At the entrance stood two well-dressed men, both armed with machetes and carrying single-shot rifles. Two strong men had a large wooden board with a turquoise wolf's head scrawled on it.
The big fat guy parked the pickup at the entrance and honked his horn. A few minutes later, a dozen or so people walked out of the room at the gas station. Leading the way is a middle-aged man wearing a black tuxedo with a white shirt and a black bow at the neckline.
Tie Slag got out of the car with You Ge, and the big fat guy pointed to the middle-aged man in a tuxedo, "Brother Tie, he is the Song housekeeper of the Xiros family." ”
After a while, Steward Song walked in front of the three of them. He was followed by more than a dozen strong men armed with rifles, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense. With just one glance, Iron Slag saw that the brawny men's rifles had been bolted open.
"Fortunately, this handsome guy is the iron slag brother." Steward Song politely arrived.
Iron Slag nodded his head, which was an answer. Then, Steward Song's gaze moved to You Ge's face, and then he put his right fist on his left shoulder, bowed his head and bowed. This was the standard ceremonial gesture of a commoner to a nobleman.
"Dear Sister Lombal, we swear that we will deliver you safely to Silver City Seventeen." Steward Song solemnly arrived, and then he turned sideways to get out of the passage, bent down and made a gesture of please, "Sister Lombard"
You Ge glanced at the iron slag, as if he wanted to speak and stopped. Iron Slag nodded and made a gesture of please. You Ge gritted his teeth hatefully, and walked into the gas station without looking back......
Steward Song took out a bag of money and handed it to the iron slag. Iron Slag handed the money bag to the big fat guy next to him, and ordered, "Count it." Steward Song frowned slightly when he saw this, but it was only an instant that he returned to normal. The big fat guy touched the money bag and counted for a while, and then nodded at the iron slag.
After confirming the number of gold coins, Iron Slag grinned, said "thank you" and simply climbed into the passenger seat of the pickup truck. The big fat guy followed closely and got into the car, stepped on the accelerator and galloped away.
A few seconds after leaving the gas station, Iron Slag asked in a deep voice, "Where is the eldest young master of the Shiros family?" ”
"Steward Song is a member of the Hiroth family, what do you care about so much." The big fat guy took out the money bag and flipped it, threw the iron slag to the passenger seat, and sighed, "Two hundred gold, you can spend two winters!" ”
"Clear!" Iron slag drank in a deep voice.
The big fat guy was taken aback, and when he saw the iron slag with a fierce face, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat......
At the same time, You Ge walked into the gas station. She looked around and saw an old mech perched against the wall. She remembered that it was a fully mechanical mech, equipped with a two-barreled Vulcan cannon, which had been phased out twenty years earlier. The mech was polished and looked very well maintained.
Just as You Ge was observing the mecha, Steward Song followed from behind and invited her to the gas station to rest for a while. After a while, she walked into the hall of the gas station under the leadership of Steward Song. There are more than 200 square meters here, surrounded by windows, and in the middle are messy old sofas, coffee tables, and desks......
You Ge walked to the middle of the hall, and she looked left and right, trying to find a clean place to sit down. At this moment, she found more than a dozen strong men following the butler into the hall, and she couldn't help frowning.
"Sister Lombal, please lay down your arms, and we will send you home safely." Steward Song arrived seriously. Before he finished speaking, the strong men behind him raised their rifles and aimed at You Ge.
"Now that you know who I am, you should know the consequences of doing so." You Ge threatened in a deep voice.
Before You Ge could finish speaking, two strong men suddenly rushed forward, dragged the submachine gun off her back and threw it aside, and handcuffed her. You Ge gritted his teeth and stared at Steward Song, and said word by word: "One day, Lombal's anger will burn you to ashes!" ”
Steward Song laughed, and his wrinkled face was not smiling. He walked around You Ge, his eyes roaming between You Ge's boobs and buttocks, making a "tsk" saliva sound, "It's so round, it's so big, it's so beautiful." Steward Song shouted, "Brothers, it's time for a feast tonight." ”
More than a dozen strong men stared at the girl, let out bursts of lewd laughter, and some even whistled.
You Ge's face turned pale, and his voice trembled, "If you hurt me, you will pay the price, and my father will definitely kill you." ”
"Sister noble, it seems that you still don't understand your position." Steward Song sneered, "Okay, let you die, we are all working for the Lei Ling family." ”
Hearing the words 'Lei Ling', You Ge was completely desperate. This is her father's undying political enemy, the high-level of the thirteenth silver city who wants to put her to death.
"Have fun with us, and we'll make your death less painful." Steward Song smiled and stretched out his hand to You Ge......
"Don't think!" You Ge shouted loudly!
With this low shout, her short silver hair all stood up, and blue light flashed in her starry eyes! In the blink of an eye, an invisible energy bombarded Steward Song's chest! I saw that Steward Song's chest was hit with a heavy hammer, and the minced flesh and cracked bones sank into his chest and lungs. He flew out with a mouthful of blood, and as soon as he hit the ground, he didn't move, and he couldn't die anymore.
"Psyker!" Someone shouted.
More than a dozen strong men immediately fell to the ground, staring at the girl who suddenly erupted with horror on their faces.
"Don't shoot! The psyker's psychic shock can only be used once. Someone among the strong men shouted.
"Yes, yes, don't shoot, you can't play if you break it." Someone added.
"Hey, hey, hey......" many people laughed.
You Ge looked around at the strong men around, and his pretty face glowed red. She was heard to drink softly, and a jet-black pistol flew from her waist into her hand. She took a deep breath and raised her pistol to her temple.
