Chapter 91. It's a long night
The Ursas girl turned around and looked Gaunt up and down: "I can't see that you are quite generous, now the road is not easy to walk, there are gangs everywhere, those police officers are embroidered pillows, they are cowering in the police station and pretending to be turtles and refuse to come out, I will escort you home, where is your home?" β
"My house is in the Rose District, not far away, it should be safer there, I will give you a lot of money, as long as you can get me and Jenny safely."
Gaunt limped and moved, and said slowly: "This is St. Martin, I am different from that group of crazy people, they are messing around, but real civilization needs to speak of the spirit of contract, I will not regret what I promised you, as long as you agree, our transaction will be established, what currency do you want when you settle?" β
The Ursas girl didn't care about him, she just cared about herself: "Longmen coins are the best, I have to exchange other currencies, it's too troublesome, I warn you, if you don't admit it, I'll throw you to those gang members, they hate the people of Brave New World now, you won't end well." β
"Ha, ha, ha, I understand, I don't know how to play tricks, what's your name?"
"Bee hunting."
Gaunt silently recited the name and walked into the factory with the bee hunter.
It's dirty and messy as always, the gutters are unguarded, the air stenchs, the tawny walls are smeared with strange symbols, and the mountains of garbage are uncleaned.
The Huangshuixian neighborhood is a few industrial gathering points in the outer city, and it is also the place where outsiders are most concentrated, and several labor service companies in St. Martin will set up recruitment points at the entrance to the city.
Even if they feel cheated, outsiders can only choose to swallow their anger and silently accept those high-intensity jobs, after all, they come to Saint-Martin from all over the world, spend all their small savings, and they don't even have the money to go back.
It has been a long time since Gaunt came to Saint-Martin, and he was treated unjustly at first, but fortunately he has a good ability, which has led to the difficult rooting in Saint-Martin, maintaining his dignity as a human being, and living a good life.
His girlfriend, Jenny, was not so lucky, a girl with no special skills, was dragged to the Huangshuixian neighborhood to work when she entered the city, and the two were temporarily separated.
Gaunt was naturally unwilling, he was against it from the beginning, but his own income could only barely live, but it was not enough to support one more person, plus Jenny had been living in hardship for a long time, and she was very sensitive to wages, so she resigned and only took 70% of a month's salary, which was impossible to do, which led to today's dilemma.
"I understand, although Jenny didn't say it, but she also wants to live an easier life from now on, I'm from Ursasi, I don't understand the crooks of Colombians, I have honey and grilled fish to eat when I boxing in the sunflower block, life is okay, but ordinary people are sad."
They came to the pulp shop where Jenny was cowering, and at this time the iron fence gate of the pulp shop was closed, and only two gatekeepers were guarding the door, and when they saw the hunting bee and Gaunt, their faces suddenly changed, and one of the gatekeepers turned around and ran inside, and the other held a flashlight and shouted, "Go away!" Closed today! β
Gaunt took a few steps forward and shouted, "I'm a family member of the staff of the pulp washer, Jenny, do you know, she's a female worker here, I'm going to take her home!" β
"Who is Jenny without this person? You're mistaken! β
The gatekeeper immediately retorted, but the hunting bee had already come to him, and although he was separated by an iron fence, he still took two steps back in fear.
"U, Usas?"
Bang!
Bang, la, la.
The bee hunted a fist at the iron fence gate, and the steel branches trembled, and the frightened gatekeepers almost sat on the ground one by one.
"Jenny! I'm going to see Jenny, do you hear? I couldn't see anyone for five minutes, and this door couldn't stop me! β
The bees roared and were ready to fight, when a group of people came out of the pulp shop, including Gaunt's girlfriend Jenny.
"Jenny, let's go home, resign and go home."
Gaunt clutched the iron fence gate and shouted excitedly.
Among the people who came out together, there was the owner of the pulp washing shop, as soon as he heard that Jenny was going to resign, he immediately reprimanded with a straight face: "Jenny, you think about it, your job is not easy to come by, and now many people break their heads every day and squeeze into St. Martin to find a job, do you want to be a dishwasher in a restaurant who works more than ten hours a day?!" β
When Jenny heard Gaunt's words, her heart was shaken, and the owner of the pulp shop said this again, and she stood in place at a loss.
But Gaunt had already made up his mind, he was a man, he couldn't retreat at this time, even if he was complained about at the time, he couldn't do nothing, he shouted: "Jenny, listen to me, don't do this job, I have a good salary now, I can afford to support you, you know me, if I can't do it, I will never say it." β
Seeing this, the owner of the pulp washing shop was furious, and there was a murderous Usas man standing next to him, he couldn't vent his anger, his face was gloomy, and he threatened: "Jenny, we signed the employment agreement at the beginning, you have pressed your fingerprint, you work here, you must make a resignation report a month in advance, you have handed in the resignation report at the beginning of the month, but it has not been a full month, and now you can only get 70% of your salary if you resign, and the situation is special these days, and I don't have more funds, Your salary will have to wait another month for it to be settled. β
Jenny is an outsider, everyone knows about the pulp shop, they know better that people without income can no longer find a job, and will soon be cleared out of the city by the municipal government, and there are people who try to borrow money to survive a temporary crisis, but that is a point of no return.
The owner of the pulp washing shop knew that Jenny was a very thrifty female worker, since she could survive here, she naturally would not be willing to go to the days when she had eaten the last meal before, and the rules and regulations of his pulp washing shop came out to oppress people, which is understandable, he is also protected by the law of Saint Martin, plus Jenny's boyfriend has a job in the rich area of Saint Martin, and he will not easily break the law, after all, they are all outsiders.
Gaunt was anxious, but his heart was clear, and he couldn't have understood the plan of the owner of the pulp washing shop, as the saying goes, beating a snake and hitting seven inches, and using her salary to card Jenny, it really hit her death.
He couldn't help shouting: "Jenny, please Jenny, leave your job now, 70% is not impossible, you come with me, isn't it good for us to be together!" β
The girl who had been hesitating lowered her head, every minute and second was like a century, and finally, she raised her head and said resolutely: "I will leave now." β
As for the boss who said that the salary will be settled in a month, when Jenny made the decision to leave, she already knew that she might not return, how could a miser who even had to lick the lid of a lunch box easily let go of an employee? At that time, there will definitely be various expenses deducted, and even if you can get it, I'm afraid it will be less than half.
At the moment when Jenny walked out of the iron fence gate, the hunting bee next to her, who had been silent, suddenly kicked the gate upside down and flew back, turning the gatekeeper in front of the door on her back, she rushed up with an arrow, grabbed the collar of the pulp shop owner with one hand, clenched her fist with the other hand, and roared: "Take out Jenny's salary now, as long as you dare to say half a word, you will take the money to the dentist's clinic tomorrow to fill a good tooth!" β
"You, you, what are you doing?!"
The owner of the pulp washing shop was pulled over by the hunting bees, and his movements were fast, and even the people on both sides did not react, looking at the fist that was only a few centimeters away from his cheek, and he had to run away from home with a mouthful of teeth, and he had to vomit blood, not to mention the huge cost of filling teeth, and eating supplements was a lot of expenses......
The hunting bee raised his eyebrows, full of ruffians: "I am from Usas, if you are not convinced, come to the small church in the sunflower neighborhood to find me, I will wait for as many people as you come!" β
Damn, you're still a savage Ursatian!
The heart of the owner of the pulp washing shop sank, he was beaten today, even if he wanted to find a place in the future, in the sunflower block, no one could please him, and those Ursatians went crazy and even beat their own people.
It's really unlucky, how did you get into these dead stars?
The owner of the pulp washing shop was deflated, and said in a low voice: "You let go of me, I will settle with Jenny now, my shop is here, are you still afraid that I will run away?" β
The hunting bee let go of his hand and glanced at the bodyguards on both sides menacingly, startling the other party to retreat again and again.
After a while, the owner of the pulp washing shop took out a stack of banknotes, handed it to the hunting bee, and waved his hand: "Let's go, don't come back, hurry up!" β
After standing in place and counting twice, the female boxer left the pulp washing shop backwards, turned around and handed the money to Jenny, who was speechless with gratitude.
The three of them immediately left the factory and walked on the road, and the hunting bee hated: "These factory owners who bully the weak and fear the hard will only exploit outsiders, you reason with them, they will talk to you about the law, you talk to them about the law, they will play tricks with you, in the end it is still better than fists, my fists are hard enough, they will only admit it, and obediently pay back the money owed." β
Gaunt couldn't hide his excitement, he was finally able to reunite with his girlfriend, he was really grateful to the hunting bee for the last act of threatening the owner of the pulp washing shop, and asked curiously, "I thought the Ursians were good at fighting...... Warrior. β
Hunting Bee glanced at Gaunt, "Are you trying to say that we Ursatians are all fools who can only fight?" I'm very good at fighting, but I'm not stupid, and a friend of mine said that she and her eldest sister are back in Usas, and I don't want to go back. β
Gaunt was speechless, but he didn't have the heart to say anything now, he just wanted to return to his home in the Rose District as soon as possible, there were too many things to encounter today, and he was really exhausted.
Thanks to the hunting bees, otherwise he would not only have been beaten, but even the stun gun in the research center would have been lost, and now the matter is almost over, his girlfriend has found it, the stun gun has been withdrawn, and he has to go home and close the door to rest.
The hunting bee saw their anxious appearance and knew that the couple was like an arrow, so she simply shut up and didn't say more, in fact, she also wanted to go back now, she had been out for more than a year, think about it carefully, it would be safer to go back,
More than an hour later, Gaunt and Jenny returned to their home, and the bee hunter successfully obtained a sum of money enough for her to return to Rhode Island, and at the time of parting, the Ursatian girl hammered Gaunt's shoulder socket hard, grinning in pain.
"I said, if you want a man in the future, you should make a move, if you knock down two people at the beginning, they would have turned around and run away a long time ago, understand? You still have to take a girlfriend with you now, and cowardice and compromise can't make any difference to survival, especially in St. Martin, gone. β
Watching the back of the hunting bee leaving, Gaunt's expression was extremely complicated, he closed the door, turned around, and saw a pair of concerned eyes, and the girl he had been thinking about day and night was standing in front of him.
"Jenny, I ......"
As soon as he spoke, he saw the other party pounce on him, squeeze into his body, and send hot lips.
Gaunt's back slammed into the door panel, he was stunned for a second, feeling the warm kiss, and the dexterous tip of his tongue constantly brushing over his lips, and immediately opened his arms, hugged his girlfriend deeply, and fought back strongly.
The night is still long.
β¦β¦
Zhou Jinru stood at the window, looking at the skyrocketing fire in the distance, illuminating the sky above the city.
The angry St. Martin wine merchants, piling up crates of wine in the square and burning them in protest, the blazing flames soared into the air, emitting a large number of unpleasant smells.
The passage of the Prohibition Act not only shocked the public, but also shook the entire Colombian political scene, with countless news spreading and various details and conjectures circulating back and forth in the airwaves.
On this day, Brave New World was also severely hit at various stations in San MartΓn, but the citizens who had relied on Brave New World for a long time suddenly discovered an even more embarrassing thing after venting their anger, once there was no Brave New World, they would say goodbye to normal life in one day, return to the life of primitive people in three days, and pile up dead bodies a week later.
The brave new world is like a big tree, deeply rooted in Saint-Martin for many years, and it has long been deeply rooted and closely related to people's lives, and it can be seen in all walks of life, and trying to resist it will only put oneself in an embarrassing predicament.
"It's normal, kidnapping the citizens of the whole city, this is also the usual method of big business, it's not a very unusual thing."
Zhou Jinru stared at the sky-high firelight, and said lightly: "Mr. Lin's methods are definitely not only like this, he still has many hole cards that have not been revealed. β
"I don't care about that, there's only one bed here, where are you going to sleep tonight?"
The soft voice of the silver fox came from behind him, as if to lure him into further action.
"You don't need a reason to sleep with someone, but you need a lot of reasons not to go to bed, I have 10,000 reasons, do you want to hear about it?"
