Chapter 16: A Bowl of Daughter Red in the Cyber World

There were already a bunch of people outside the door, and Li Ji saw that Lilith was angrily scolding a big man with a dark face, who lowered his head and was scolded, but the expression on his face did not show the slightest guilt.

"Eldest sister, it's just speculation, and I'm not sure that the people who gave me the money must be the people from the company!"

The spitting Lilith couldn't help but be furious when she saw him talking back: "Don't you know how the guys in the company play people to death?" Don't you ......?"

"Then what can I do!"

The sudden raised voice made the surrounding circle of people quiet for a moment, and Lilith looked at the black-faced man in front of her in a daze.

"Eldest sister, you have been missing for so long, and this group of people suddenly came to the door and said that you were kidnapped, and showed me the video, and gave me a large sum of money to save you, what can I do?"

"Did I dare to tell everyone at the time? Can I still rush into the Tiger Gang alone with a gun on my shoulder? If you don't cooperate with them, what will I do to save you! ”

The black-faced man was a little emotional, but this time Lilith stood still and didn't say anything.

"Hey, why don't you go, I have to thank the lifesaver."

Lilith waved her hand and walked towards Li Ji.

"Sorry for the joke." She smiled bitterly at Li Ji, her eyes flashing: "Can you add your friend?" I said I would like to thank you. ”

"I can introduce you to the treatment plan here, I believe that you are in the Tiger Gang, and you must not have a good life."

"Thank you, but I'll ask my dad for help, he knows my physical condition best."

Li Ji was a little puzzled, I hadn't heard of a prosthetic doctor nearby.

"Is your father a doctor?"

"It's not biological, I was picked up by him from the garbage dump when I was a child, and he seems to know a little bit of everything, by the way, I look at the sign you are hanging, and the words on it are very similar to the words that my father sometimes writes."

This time, Li Ji was a little interested in the old man, could it be that there would be fellow villagers in this night city?

"If you have time, I will definitely visit you."

"Let's go together, I'll go back to Daddy Buck later."

Buck? For some reason, this name gave Li Ji a very familiar feeling, but after confirming his memory, he clearly knew that he had never seen such a person.

More and more interesting, he smiled and said, "Okay! ”

The car passed through the piles of garbage, and Li Ji looked out the window.

After explaining the situation to Threefinger and Leah, he and Lilith go to Night City's largest junkyard dump.

This is the city's excrement outlet, where countless e-waste is transported every day, and there are also countless waste pickers here to fight the autumn breeze.

Occasionally, however, one or two brand-new corpses could be seen in the garbage heap, and within a day or night, the blood-stained prostheses on them had been eaten away by the scavengers.

"I don't seem to see many scavengers here, so I thought they must be interested here."

Looking at the wreckage of a young man on the side of the road, Li Ji asked Lilith beside him.

"Those hyenas can't look down on this place, they can be dragged here, and most of the parts on their bodies are scrapped, not to mention that those corpses belong to owners."

"Lord? What do you mean? ”

"Who knows? A long time ago, there was a group of sneaky people here who prey on these poor people who are dying, and the living here don't even know where to eat, how can they care about such a thing? So it's up to them. Ah, here we are. ”

The car was parked next to a small courtyard whose walls were welded from various worn metal sheets, and in some places there were screws and rivets.

A middle-aged man was lying on a rocking chair in front of the house basking in the sun, his unkempt beard and hair making Li Ji feel that this man must have written stories in the past.

Subconsciously, the scanning function in the prosthetic eye was activated, but to his surprise, there was no information about the man in the NCPD database, which could even scan information on the corpse.

"Daddy Buck, you're so laid-back, your baby daughter almost lost her life, and you're still basking in the sun here."

"My daughter wants to be blessed with a great life, otherwise she wouldn't have cried so loudly in the garbage heap! Who is this? ”

Daddy Buck's voice was hearty and loud, and he got out of the rocking chair and gave Lilith a bear hug, and then looked at Li Ji with a puzzled look.

"This is what I mentioned to you on the road, my savior, Li Ji. You're also a doctor, and it's not far from here, so it seems that you won't have to suffer in your alcohol-smelling dormant chamber in the future! ”

Daddy Buck suddenly realized, and then gave Li Ji a warm hug.

"Brother will find a random place to do it first, I'll give this girl an injection first, she will always make trouble here."

"You're busy first."

Li Ji casually looked at the furnishings here, and it could be seen that this Buck Daddy lived a very simple life, and most of the furniture was second-hand goods, and it was only with a pair of skillful hands that they could barely be used.

"Lilith has been wild since she was a child, and she has only relented in her temperament after getting a security company recently, which makes you trouble!"

"It's just work, and she's strong herself."

Father Buck, who was done, looked at Li Ji and sighed: "I'd rather people in the world be disease-free, and I'd rather have medicine and dust!" It's been a long time since I've heard a doctor say that. ”

Li Ji was a little surprised, it seems that this typical American man may have really been to his hometown!

"You've been to the East before?"

"A long time ago, I remember that it was a small village surrounded by mountains, and there could still be such a place under the impact of prosthetics and machinery, and I think there was only the mysterious East!"

It turns out that this little old man, who doesn't look good, has even stepped out of this continent.

"Speaking of which, I remember, come with me, I'll show you a baby!"

Father Buck seemed to remember something, rummaged through the clutter in the room, and pulled out a shovel.

Li Ji was a little puzzled, and at the same time a little vigilant, didn't he want to bury him if he didn't like it?

The two walked to a remote corner of the courtyard, where there was a big tree that Li Ji didn't recognize.

Daddy Buck smiled at him and began digging.

In Li Ji's puzzled gaze, Father Buck happily turned out a black clay pot from the soil, which was very tightly sealed, Li Ji peeked and found that there were several altars in the soil.

"This is the old rule, what I learned from you back then is not the same as those guys in Arasaka who have forgotten their ancestors!"

Daddy Buck carefully patted the mud seal, and a fragrant smell of wine drifted down the wind to Li Ji's nose.

"Is this it, daughter...... Red? ”

Li Ji asked a little uncertainly, and at the same time he was a little happy, originally there was such a tradition in his hometown in a different time and space, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to see it.

When you are in your hometown, if there is a baby girl in the family, then you will bury some good wine, and if your daughter can reach adulthood safely, then this wine will be your daughter's red.

I didn't expect that in this otherworldly land, I was able to take a bowl of wine from my hometown from the hands of a foreign man with an American accent, which was really a wonderful opportunity.

"It's still a fellow who knows the goods! I buried it with my own hands when I brought Lilith back from the outside. Today she was able to rely on you to save her life, this bowl of wine, thank you for saving your life! ”
