Bring Interstellar to the end of the world

Chapter 260 A Woman's Heart

Yiyi is a resident of Qingcheng Town, how could she come here and make money at the Pink Paradise Flesh Market?Before the postman rushed to Shelter 1001, she sent it to the north gate of the town and told him to be careful on the road and go home early.

He didn't rush out rashly, because he heard another piece of interesting information from the manager of Pink Paradise—the man with the loud voice was a slave trader.

Why did the slave traders in the Langya settlement attack the people in Qingcheng?

You must know that the slave trade is a networked trading system. Most of the goods that slave traders put on the market for trading come from other places, which can avoid many troubles.

Under normal circumstances, the slave traders in the Langya settlement would not attack the people in Qingcheng.

The second puzzling thing is that if slave traders want to make a deal with Pink Paradise, they just need to sell them directly. Why do they use the affiliation method?
Could it be that the slave trader changed his career to become a broker?

He felt that things might be more complicated than he thought, so he didn't go out and waited patiently for the two people to negotiate.

After several bargains, the slave trader paid Pink Heaven a sum of medical expenses, and took Yiyi out.

Tang Yan then left Pink Paradise, far behind the two of them.

The slave trader took the girl's hand and turned left and right, and finally entered a building not far from the entrance of the settlement.

Tang Yan did not follow, but stood downstairs for a while, and saw the lights in a room on the left of the fourth floor go on and off.

He smoked a cigarette downstairs for a while, knocked on the door of the food shop, told the boss to roast some mutant double-headed beef, and then sat down on the chair next to the outdoor dining table.

The owner of the restaurant is a very talkative person, telling him stories about his settlement in Langya over and over again, such as the strange taste of some diners, the celebrities there are full of praise for his craftsmanship, the lace news of the captain of the Yunmeng mercenary regiment ...

After two mutated double-headed beef skewers were served, the boss gave two bottles of beer for free.

Tang Yan felt that drinking alone was boring, so he invited the boss to join him.

That person was not only a chatterbox, but also an acquaintance. He pulled a chair and sat opposite Tang Yan, and the two chatted while drinking.

Naturally, Tang Yan asked him to drink together for a purpose. He wanted to get information about the slave trader who took Yiyi away from the restaurant owner.

The owner of the restaurant said a lot, but they were all things he didn't care about.Until the other party told a story, saying that several military trucks entered the city in the middle of the night three days ago, he vaguely heard the voice of a woman crying.

Army trucks... the sound of a woman crying...

Tang Yan marked it in his heart, and continued to drink with the restaurant owner.

When the east was pale and the night receded silently, General Wang came from the other side of the street.

He was the only one, with a heavy figure and a serious expression on his face.

Tang Yan told the restaurant owner to roast some mutated double-headed beef skewers and boil a pot of hot wine.

General Wang didn't ask him why he left Pink Paradise. After sitting down, he picked up a skewer of barbecued meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

"How about it?"

Tang Yan poured half a glass of the only wine in the bottle.

General Wang took a deep breath, pressed his fingers on his forehead with his hands and brushed his short hair back.

"She doesn't agree."

Tang Yan frowned: "Why?"

He couldn't figure it out, General Wang has already achieved this step, what is that woman still insisting on?
Xia Xin told him that the girl from Pink Paradise has the right to redeem herself. General Wang has been a cook in the Pandaren Legion for several years. Friends who just made a big deal are behind it.

Let any normal person judge, living a life without worrying about food and clothing in Vault 1017 is better than doing that kind of thing in Pink Paradise.

"She said she had low self-esteem."

"She has low self-esteem?"

"Yes, she said she wasn't good enough for me."

"..."

"She said that I am following you now, and I am likely to have greater achievements in the future. I should find a woman who is prettier and cleaner than her. She left without saying goodbye, but she didn't want me to find her. Maybe in my opinion this is The affection is deep and meaningful, but for her, it is a pressure and hurt. Tang Yan, tell me, what does she mean by these words? I can't understand at all. "

"..."

Tang Yan could somewhat understand Xiaohong's psychology.

Like a normal family, when a man and a woman get married, they must pay attention to the right family, which is related to the balance between status and values.

Xiaohong is a girl from Pink Paradise. When she leaves that kind of place in the future, she will usually marry a laborer in the city or a farmer in the village.

If the Pandaren Legion is still the former Pandaren Legion, and General Wang is still the former General Wang, it is acceptable for the two to come together in the end.

It is different now, the rapid development of the Pandaren Legion has left many people dumbfounded, and the cook has become a reliable person around him, and the identity gap with Xiaohong is getting wider and wider.

Maybe General Wang thinks that love can conquer everything, but for Xiaohong, this huge gap in identity will become an alarm clock, and every morning when she wakes up, she will be reminded of what she has done before, that she is not worthy of the man around her.

Over time, the pressure of reality will become a mental injury.

So now she repulses General Wang very much.

And this rejection comes more from inferiority complex and self-abandonment.

At this time, the restaurant owner brought the newly baked mutated double-headed beef skewers and boiled white wine, told Tang Yan to call him if he needed anything, and then turned and walked into the store.

"Tang Yan, you are talking." General Wang drank the bitter wine in his cup and looked at Tang Yan eagerly.

"What did you say?" Tang Yan raised his head and glanced at him: "Are you telling me to give up your heart?"

"You know, I don't care I don't care about her identity, why won't she go with me? Why can't she let herself go? "

Tang Yan said: "If I were you, I wouldn't bother her during this period."

"Just like you did to Caiwei?"

"..." At this moment, deputy head Tang wished he could strangle the cook to death.

General Wang took the skewered barbecue meat in his palm, patted it into his mouth, and drank another large glass of wine.

Tang Yan took a sip of the wine, feeling that the taste was a bit monotonous, as light as water, it should be Xiaoqu wine made from sorghum
"Are you sure that she will not marry in this life?"

"En, um." General Wang took out the knife that Xiaohong gave him from his pocket again, put it on the dining table and rubbed it lightly, as if treating it as a treasure.

The knives are new and the blades are shiny.

Although the cook always carries it with him, Tang Yan has never seen him use it.

"If you really don't mind her past, look for her alone in this life. I have a way or can solve the problem between you."

General Wang raised his head, his slightly red face trembling under the morning light.

"any solution?"

Tang Yan looked at the soldiers of the city defense army of Langya settlement who were starting to hand over outside and said, "Now is not the time..."

"Now is not the time, how long do we have to wait?"

Tang Yan didn't speak, but turned his eyes to the city.

Zhao Guangren came from there with a cigarette in his mouth. After a night of fighting, the surface of the silver-white P-62 power armor was covered with scratches and bloodstains, looking dirty and a little embarrassed.

But even so, the soldiers who had just retreated from their patrol posts would look at him and the Yanhuang Brotherhood icon on his shoulder armor with envious and surprised eyes when they passed by him.

When Zhao Guangren came to the door of the food shop, the proprietress who just got up added a beautiful chair at the right time, and said good morning with a smile, together with a meaningful wink.

The morning sun shone on her face with thin powder, covering up the traces of the years.

The owner of the food shop arranged for several soldiers who left the post, and greeted them enthusiastically, "Would you like to boil another pot of wine?"

He didn't see the winking eyes of the proprietress, because there was a smile on her pale face from staying up all night.

Zhao Guangren, who took off the P-62 power armor, waved his hand, sat down next to Tang Yan, and frowned at the flagon in front of General Wang: "Drinking early in the morning... Boss, two catties of mutant double-headed beef, Three more bowls of beef offal soup."

"Okay." The boss dragged the reluctant lady boss down.

General Wang glanced at Zhao Guangren: "People from the Yanhuang Brotherhood are rich and powerful..."

"..." Zhao Guangren shook his head with a wry smile.

Tang Yan asked about the situation of the Yanhuang Brotherhood soldier, and the other party told him that there was no serious problem, and then he just had to wait for the people from the Yanhuang Brotherhood to pick them up and leave, and he would recover in a month or two at the base.

As the sun rose higher and higher, more and more customers came to the restaurant.

The first batch of scavengers and merchants from other places entered the city with the rising sun, and many of them sat down at the dining table not far away with a dusty atmosphere, and greeted the boss for food and drink.

The proprietress came in and out to bring tea and water, her eyes would always glance at Zhao Guangren's face intentionally or unintentionally.

A member of the Yanhuang Brotherhood wearing a specially painted P-62 power armor is an eye-catcher wherever he goes, not to mention he has a sun-like face.

On the other hand, Tang Yan and General Wang, both in appearance and clothes, are very ordinary and ordinary.

The cook has some sympathy for the restaurant owner, because they are colleagues to some extent.

Men are responsible for making money to support their families, and women are responsible for their beauty?To whom should I show my beauty like a flower?this is a problem.

The guests came one after another, and the breakfast time had been over for a long time before the slave trader came down from the upstairs behind the restaurant.

It could be seen that the man was in a very unhappy mood, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he looked like he saw everyone as an enemy.

Yiyi walked behind him, her right cheek was red and swollen, presumably she was punished by the slave trader after returning from Pink Paradise yesterday.

Tang Yan frowned, a trace of anger flashed across his face.

He asked them to wait for him at the place where the modified pickup truck was parked, got up and left the restaurant, and followed Yiyi.

He followed the two of them here before dawn. He thought that the slave trader's lair was upstairs at the back, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

There were not many customers in the commercial street in the early morning, and the sound of rolling shutter doors opening was heard sporadically.

Tang Yan followed the two of them out of the living area, walked through the commercial street, and came to the area near the Yishui River.

At the entrance of the street where the city defense army camp was located, the slave trader turned left and entered a courtyard guarded by guards.

Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, because judging from the plaque hanging on the gate of the courtyard, it should be the Yamen where the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the City Defense Army is located.

Why did the slave trader bring Yiyi to this kind of place?

Seeing the two disappear around the corner in front of him, he looked at the energetic guards on both sides of the courtyard gate with some headaches.

Are you trying to break in?
The point is that you don't know anything now, so it's always a bit reckless to force your way.

Just when he was in a dilemma and couldn't make up his mind what to do, a man walked out of the courtyard guarded by the guards.

Seeing that face, he froze for a moment.

Because he knew that person - Juniper.

It was Jun Song, the first-class reserve officer of the Yunmeng Mercenary Corps who broke up in Calabash Valley a few days ago.

How could he be here?

Tang Yan didn't focus on this question, and went up to him and patted the other person on the shoulder.

Juniper had been thinking about things since he went out, and didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation. Suddenly, someone slapped him, shivered involuntarily, and looked up at the person who came.

When Tang Yan's face fell into his eyes, the first-class reserve officer of the Yunmeng Mercenary Regiment almost bit his tongue.

He never imagined that he would meet Tang, deputy head of the Pandaren Legion, here.

"Hush!" Tang Yan made a silent gesture to him, and pulled him to the side alley.

……

After a conversation between the two sides, Tang Yan knew the purpose of Juniper's visit.

After the two broke up in Calabash Valley, Juniper returned to the base to report the incident, because there were photos of Yunmeng mercenary soldiers fighting blue super mutants and giant zombies, and there was no doubt about his words.

In consideration of humanity, the Yunmeng mercenary group gave him a half-month vacation to stabilize his emotions and adjust his state.

After all, 51 people went there, but he was the only one who survived. This experience is a heavy blow to any normal person, and it is likely to become a nightmare in future life.

After spending a few days at the base of the Yunmeng Mercenary Corps, Juniper came to the settlement of Langya, planning to stay with his father for a while.Today he came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the City Defense Army to give gifts to the supervisors. After all, he was away most of the time, and the soldiers in the City Defense Army often went to visit the old man and help with manual labor.

After learning about this situation, Tang Yan talked about the slave trader and Yiyi, and then asked Juniper to do him a favor—to get close to the slave trader under the pretext of buying Yiyi, and find out the ins and outs of the matter.

After all, he is also a member of the Yunmeng mercenary group. I have seen Yiyi's appearance just now, and my father is a member of the Langya settlement. His appearance will basically not arouse the suspicion of slave traders.

Juniper agreed without any hesitation.

After Tang Yan agreed with him on the meeting place, he left the street where the barracks was located and returned to the parking place where the modified pickup truck was parked.

………………

Halfway through the morning, Juniper came over. Tang Yan pulled him closer to the cab, and the two of them muttered for a long time inside.

Through the information that Juniper inquired from the slave trader, he had an intuitive understanding of Yiyi's affairs.

As he thought, this matter is a bit complicated, not a simple slave trading incident.
