Chapter 869: People who go to find people often don't come back
Driving a borrowed fishing boat, Marcus complained loudly that the ball game he had bet on yesterday had lost again.
Lin Lan looked at today's newspaper and learned Yuan language with Ren Zhen.
This time in Beiyuan may have to stay for a few months, at least to master the basic dialogue text, with his learning ability is not a big problem, the speed can be faster and better.
Hearing the vibration, Lin patted Marcus indiscriminately, "Old horse, the phone is ringing." ”
"It's Hall. ”
Marcus handed the rudder to Lin Chao.
A few minutes later, Marcus complained, "Hall and Dev want to go fishing, too." If I didn't say it sooner, I would have borrowed a bigger boat. ”
The fishing boat was seven or eight meters long, and Lin Lan felt that two people were enough, and if there were more, it would be crowded, and said, "Do they want to get on this boat too?" ”
"I've already said they're going to get a dinghy," Marcus said. Alas, if you are a big boat, you can also comfortably cook soup with grilled fish. ”
Lin ran through his thoughts, "You're just here to drink the bar." ”
Marcus laughed unabashedly, he took the bottle, was about to unscrew it, and put it down.
"Drink it again and it will be gone, or wait. ”
Lin Lan had already shook his head and laughed.
Yesterday's money was returned to the tavern owner, and then two bottles were given on credit.
Less than an hour after the boat was out, and before the fishing began, he drank a bottle, and kept the rest in mind.
The river split into two tributaries in front of it, and Marcus reluctantly put down the bottle and pointed to the right.
"Mao, go wait for Hall and the two of them first. ”
"Understood. ”
The shore is full of woods, and the fishing boats are parked at the simple docks, and from the boats, a forest path leads to the depths, and the white mist in the woods has not yet dissipated, and a thin layer is shrouded like a light veil.
"Old Ma, what does this mean, how do you say it?"
Lin handed Marcus a cigarette and took the newspaper to ask for advice.
Marcus took it with a smile, "Haha, I've become a teacher too." ”
Waiting for someone to have a hard time to endure, and it's good to have something to do, and Marcus is satisfied with Lin Chao's learning attitude.
However, he is not so patient as a rough man, he speaks seriously the first time, and reads slowly, and when he is the second time, he will speed up.
Soon he was surprised to find that this newly met friend of the Qi State (in the eyes of the Northern Yuan people, the people of the Great Zhou Alliance are all from the Qi State) was very talented, so he said it once or twice, and Lin Chao stumbled out some words.
Although it was funny, Marcus admired it.
"Mao, your performance in learning languages is already comparable to that of me when I was six years old, which is remarkable, and you are the best among the Qi people I have seen. ”
"I don't think it's a compliment. ”
Lin responded and continued to read the newspaper.
The person who really taught him was Ren Zhen, but Ren Zhen's pronunciation came from the standardized voice of the network translator, and the words were correct and round, which was very different from the Beiyuan people in life, so Lin Lan learned the details of pronunciation from Marcus.
Lin Chao was concentrating on his studies, but Marcus was waiting, and when he smoked the third pack of cigarettes, he called Hall and Deve's mobile phones again, but they couldn't get through.
"Maybe it's a signal problem. ”
Lin Chao said, the wooden house is in the woods, and now they are at the dock, and the signal is only two bars, and it is normal that there is no signal inside.
Marcus was dissatisfied: "The appointed time has long passed, and they are not President Bas, so don't think about participating in the activities I organized after being so unpunctual......"
The current president of the Northern Yuan Empire, Bas, is the most famous late king in the world, whether it is with major political dignitaries such as Emperor Zhou of the Great Zhou Alliance, the President of the United States Federation, or religious leaders and cultural celebrities, he is late.
At most, he was two hours late, and the bilateral meeting in the international arena was very serious, and this kind of unusual behavior naturally aroused a lot of criticism.
There are various theories as to why he was late, and the Beiyuan people defended that it was a habit since childhood, and foreigners were certainly not so polite.
For example, there is an analysis in the media of Qi State, saying that among today's big countries, Basi is the most insecure head of state, and he is always on guard against assassination, so it is too late to wait for everyone else to go.
There is even more unceremonious, saying that Beiyuan is now a foreign powerhouse and a middle-class cadre with a poor reputation on the international stage, but Basi has ambitions, but unfortunately it cannot be realized in terms of national strength, and can only find a sense of existence through the finale.
There is also the possibility of supernatural aspects, saying that the ancient Northern Yuan royal family had a tradition of raising wizards, and although the royal family does not exist in modern times, the wizard inheritance is still there.
And Bath has a special team of wizards, and when to attend the meeting, he has to ask the gods, so he will not have a fixed time to attend.
Lin Chao did not echo and make fun of President Bas, looked at Lin Zhong and said, "Maybe they have something to do temporarily, after all, it's working hours." ”
"Then wait another half hour...... No, a quarter of an hour! And smoke, Mao?"
Marcus was already impatient, but he still listened to Lin Chao's words.
Lin Lan handed over the cigarette case, thinking that from this period of time, the people of Beiyuan were not patient, and President Basi's various lateness must have another purpose.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Marcus dialed again, still unable to get through.
Lin Chao thought that he was going to transfer the boat to leave, but he didn't expect him to go ashore angrily, saying that he must have drunk too much and forgot the agreement, and he was going to teach the two bastards a lesson.
"You're watching the boat here, I'll be back soon. ”
Lin Ran quietly took out an ice box disguised as a cigarette box from his pocket, took out an energy potion and put it in his mouth, thinking that there is often such a scene in movies, and the person who went to find someone often did not come back himself, and the person who went to find it again was also missing.
It was a scene that only appeared in horror movies and thrillers, and it didn't match the current daily style.
Half an hour later, Lin Ran also stood up and called Marcus, who was able to connect, but was quickly hung up.
"It looks like something is really going on. ”
After confirming that there were no valuables left on the ship, he went ashore.
Lin shook his head, he just came to experience the customs of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, how could he always encounter problems, and hoped that there would not be too much trouble.
The autumn wind blows, the trees sway, and the leaves fall. Autumn in the north is more solemn, and it is completely different from Pinglong Island.
Lin Chao walked at the normal speed of ordinary people, not hurrying or slow, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.
Under the old trees fifty meters away from the wooden house in the forest, Lin Chao's expression was indifferent.
"Alcohol, cheese, bacon, blood, smoke...... Could it be a shooting that happened unevenly? What is Marcus going to do? If he is the only one and does not call the police, the choice now is ...... Dealing with the site. If there were still people, his results would not be good. ”。
If Marcus hangs here, Lin Ran will get acquainted with a local again, and he said hello to a few people at the bar yesterday, but he can't find them, the matter of the wooden house will definitely alarm the official, and he will have to change his identity.
Like a light bird, the forest flew silently, walked through the forest without hindrance, landed on a tree less than ten meters from the wooden house, used the branches to hide its body, and took out a sniper rifle.
