Chapter 10: Li Lie

Although Xihuaju is located inland, there are many towns called harbors, and because of the lack of transportation, it is difficult for people living here to see the legendary sea, and I don't know when it began, and people used to call the towns on the edge of the living area and bordering the shadow area as harbors.

Every port town in Xihua is a gathering place for hunters, mercenaries and speculators, and Sanye Port is no exception, this port is located in the southeast corner of Xihuazhou, it is a peninsula-shaped port, surrounded by large shadow areas on three sides, but there are few danger zones, and it has the only non-powered eucarbon rail connecting Zhongzhou in Xihuazhou. In this unique environment, Sanye Port has naturally developed into the largest and most famous port city in Xihuazhou.

Sanye Port is not as big as Shuchuan, the capital of Xihuazhou, but the city is growing with the continuous extension of the living area, the whole city has gradually become a cone-shaped, the roads are relatively narrow, and the traffic is unplanned, so when Nanbo returned to his and Fran's "single-family house" in the suburbs, it was already in full bloom.

Originally, Nanbo lived closer to the city, but since he partnered with Fran, Fran has been working almost 24 hours a day on mechanical research, often making unbearable noise, and occasionally exploding. was called to the police by neighbors countless times, although the police in Xihuang are basically useless, but they are probably annoyed by the police calls from their neighbors every time, after all, they are still out of the police for the first time in the neighborhood dispute, and Nanbo can only agree to move out within a time limit.

In accordance with Fran's requirements for a large area, plenty of space, plenty of sunshine, and preferably no pesky neighbors around, Nanbo finally chose this small abandoned wood processing factory on the edge of the cemetery.

This small factory is not much larger than an ordinary small workshop, with only a 100-square-meter warehouse and a small two-story brick house.

Except for parking and stacking some miscellaneous items, the warehouse basically became Fran's research room, and Nanbo and Fran lived in a small dilapidated brick house.

Maybe it's because of seeing home, Nanbo, who parked the car, felt unusually tired and hungry, and now Nanbo just wants to have a good meal, take a hot bath, and then lie on his long-lost bed and sleep steadily.

But he hasn't come back for 7 days, and it's good that the old man Fran didn't starve himself to death, and he probably can't count on it, but as soon as he opened the door, Nanbo, who was regretting not buying some food on the way home, was a little surprised.

Since the entire first floor is a thorough room except for the bathroom, the kitchen and living room are all through the room, Nanbo saw at a glance that there were clean fruits and delicate cakes in the exquisite basket on the dining table, and there were roast chicken and bottles of beer on the side of the basket, and the whole room was also very clean, even cleaner than before he left.

What's even more unexpected is that in addition to Fran, who is drinking beer, there is also an acquaintance Li Lie at the table.

If Nan Bo still has friends, then there is only Li Lie, Nan Bo met Li Lie in the juvenile prison, Li Lie was a labor prison bully at that time, and Nan Bo was a new hard bone, the two did not know each other, Li Lie originally wanted to find an opportunity to clean up the new children and stand up. Unexpectedly, not only did he not teach people a lesson, but he suffered a loss, and for the last time, he bribed the guards to lock Nan Bo and the 5 people who could beat him together, and finally let Nan Bo lie in bed for a week, but the other 5 people on his side were fine, but he lay down for a month.

After that, Li Lie not only didn't trouble Nanbo, but also began to curry favor with Nanbo, and later the two became acquainted. Later, Li Lie explained that it was because he admired Nan Bo's wisdom in playing himself before, but in fact, Li Lie couldn't forget that day Nan Bo said in his ear, "I don't want to kill, but I don't want to die." The eyes. Although Li Lie is not good at reading, it is naturally unique to be able to work hard in the juvenile prison, but Li Lie was still an eleven-year-old child at that time, and he was a child with a heart full of rivers and lakes, so he firmly believed that the owner of those eyes would be extraordinary in the future. With this belief, he has had an almost adoring trust in Nanbo since then. After that, he followed Nanbo along the way to escape from prison, hunt machine puppet beasts, and even cross the fog area, as long as Nanbo dared to speak, he dared to do it.

Two years ago, he followed Nan Bo to Sanye Port, and Nan Bo said that he would "do what he wanted to do", so Li Lie did his old business again, and set up an orphan gang in the slums of Sanye Port, and named it Nan Lie. I came today to invite Nanbo to go out of the mountain to take over a big business.

"Yo, Brother Nan, you're finally back!" Although Li Lie is three years older than Nan Bo, he has always liked to call Nan Bo Nange.

"Little Eleven, you're coming, come and have a drink with me." Fran likes to be called Nanbo Xiaoeleven, because Nanbo's registered name is Nanbo Eleven, this strange name comes from a black tattoo on Nanbo's arm the size of a 1-leaf coin "No.11", or when the baby Nanbo was sent to the orphanage, he needed to register a name on the household register, and the teacher of the public orphanage at that time, I didn't know if it was convenient or wanted to show off his knowledge, so he gave a name according to the ancient English pronunciation of the tattoo.

After being adopted by Nan Hao's family, he changed his name to Nanbo, and Eleven became a nickname, but because of the cumbersome procedures, the government agencies in Xihua Prefecture were extremely bureaucratic, and he didn't change the name on the household registration several times. Later documents can only use the name Nanbo 11.

Ignore Fran, who is a little drunk, because Nanbo never drinks, maybe most people like the feeling of alcohol paralyzing the brain, but Nanbo hates it, and everything that affects his thinking Nanbo stays away.

Nan Bo closed the door, came to the table and sat down, and asked casually, "Ah Lie, why are you here?"

"Hey, I heard that Brother Nan went out to do a big deal this time, how did it go well?" Li Lie said, taking out a bottle of Coke from the beer pile as if by magic, and handed it to Nanbo.

Nan Bo was not polite, he opened it and drank it, and after a while of coolness, Nan Bo breathed a long sigh of relief and replied: "It's okay, what are you looking for me." ”

Li Lie took out a roll of 100 yuan Gute coins, put it in front of Nan Bo's eyes, and said, "I'm here to give Nan Ge a commission." ”

Nanbo looked at the Gutbi with about 20,000 in front of the table, and his brows furrowed.

"What? Brother Nan is too little? I can add another one percent to Brother Nan" Li Lie looked at Nan Bo and seemed a little unhappy, and hurriedly said.

"It's not too little, I just think you're too anxious, that method is just an emergency, and it's easy to have an accident." Nan Bo said as he raised his hand to stop Li Lie from continuing to take out money.

The main source of income of the Southern Lie Association is to make whistle pigeons and carrier pigeons. Although the reason is unknown, almost all golems follow a rule that will not actively attack humans under the age of 12, a trait known as the Red Cross Dove Rule, because the golems that follow the same rule will have a red cross and a white dove pattern on their bodies.

The Red Cross Dove Law is also considered by scholars to be an important reason why the civilization of the Common Era was destroyed but the human race was not extinct.

Whistle pigeon and carrier pigeon is based on this law under the existence of special occupations, engaged in these occupations are children under the age of 12, carrier pigeon, as the name suggests, is to go back and forth in the shadow area or even the fog area, for others to pass goods or news, and whistle pigeon is more dangerous, can hunt when hunting, to be around the sentry, usually also to undertake the task of exploring the prey, survey the terrain.

In the Western Wilderness, people also like to call children under the age of 12 young pigeons. Even if there is a red cross pigeon rule, it does not mean that the young pigeon is absolutely safe in the shadow area and the fog area, because the puppet will not take the initiative to attack other animals, these long-term human life in the place of poisonous snakes and beasts is a lot, not to mention the existence of the berserk puppet (the berserk is a general term for the puppet that does not abide by the red cross pigeon rule), even the general breed puppet just does not take the initiative to attack.

Due to the large number of orphans in the Western Wilderness, many poor families will also send their children to make this whistle pigeon and carrier pigeon, although this profession is dangerous, but the competition is also fierce.

Therefore, Li Lie's Nanlie Club can only barely maintain, and Li Lie, who is bent on becoming bigger, takes risks and begins to take the goods.

Carrying goods is jargon, and selling goods in the Western Wilderness means helping the rebels to transport supplies, because the two exits of the Western Wilderness are in the hands of the Chinese Empire, and the road to the areas controlled by the rebels is also blocked by many checkpoints. Supplies are scarce in areas controlled by the rebels, and the prices of some civilian goods, especially medicines, are several times or even dozens of times that of the government-controlled areas.

The huge profits naturally aroused the nature of the merchants, and the best way to get the goods was to let the young pigeons carry the supplies through the shadow and fog areas to bypass the checkpoints of the empire, and return with the puppet materials and energy nuclei that were cheaply exchanged for in the rebel areas.

Great profits naturally come great dangers, and in addition to having to pass through the most dangerous areas, even young pigeons caught by Imperial soldiers will be executed. So at the beginning of the goods of Nan Lie can be said to be unfavorable, died 4 people but did not succeed in a single order, there are rules for the goods, the delivery person can die without paying for the goods, but as long as the order can be received, unless the person dies, otherwise the order must be completed.

Li Lie was also careful, and only took 5 people's round-trip orders, but he didn't expect to fold 4 brothers but didn't succeed in any orders. The desperate Li Lie came to Nanbo in 2 months, and was busy preparing to make a plan to kill the sentry bees.

Nanbo remembered that he had seen in the dream library that the former civilization had a sport called paragliding, and the most difficult part on the way to the goods was to bypass the dangerous area of Yunhu by climbing over the steep Yunhai Mountain Range. Nanbo told Li Lie about this idea, and then arranged Fran to help make it without asking, and now Li Lie came to send money, and the amount is not small, indicating that Li Lie must have received a new list during this period, although his idea this time was to help Li Lie solve his urgent need, but invisibly pushed him to the edge of the dangerous cliff.

"It's okay, Brother Nan's idea, Uncle Fran's craftsmanship, how big can it be, we have been here for 3 trips, and we started to hurt 2, our brothers of the Southern Martyrs Association are all orphans, how many orphans are starving to death every day in this Western Wilderness, and there is no risk in order to survive." Li Liegan took half a bottle of beer in his hand and continued.

Nan Bo originally wanted to say something, but after listening to Li Lie's words, he dispelled it, after all, Li Lie was right, if an orphan wants to live in the Western Wilderness, it would have been a risky thing, not to mention that Nan Bo knew very well that Li Lie's natural adventurous character, even if the other party was believing in himself, this matter was already an arrow shot out, and there was no turning back.

Nanbo didn't want to dwell on this matter, so he changed the topic and said, "Is there anything else?" It's just that you don't have to be so late to send money, and you're still waiting for me here. ”

Li Lie laughed and said: "Brother Nan is Brother Nan, he saw through me at a glance, I did have other things to do when I came to Brother Nan today." ”

"What else?" Nanbo asked

Li Lie took out a piece of paper that looked like an announcement from his pocket, spread it out on the table, and said mysteriously: "I'm here to make a big deal with Brother Nan." ”
