Chapter 45

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

To Roque's surprise, the bar had already started serving French fries as a snack in 1899. In addition to French fries, there were also nuts. Roque ordered a portion of each, and the small table was full of piles.

Henry has gradually come out of the shadow of emotional failure. After two glasses of wine, Henry forgot who Lacey was, and squinted his eyes to start looking for prey.

Yes, there are women in bars. Of course, these women are special workers. Girls from decent families don’t come to bars. Due to the limitations of the times, almost all women are Boers, and the quality is generally not high.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the most eye-catching woman in the entire Table Mountain bar is a pure Englishman. She is at the bar, with conspicuous gray-brown long hair, matched with a lazy hairstyle, which is incomparable with the temperament of the bar. fit.

From Roque's perspective, she can't see clearly, but from the curvy back, at least ninety percent.

"Ada is the most dazzling socialite in the Table Mountain Bar, and even in the whole of Cape Town. According to legend, she is the woman of the diamond king Cecil Rhodes, but that is not true. She is French and comes from the famous Capet family. , her husband was also an aristocrat, but died in the first Boer War, one thing you have to be aware of, she may be the richest woman in Cape Town, many people want to marry her, or become her lover, but never No one has succeeded, how about it? Do you want to try?" Henry noticed Rock's gaze and encouraged him maliciously.

This is really amazing. This Ida is probably the owner of the legendary Table Mountain Bar, and also the lover of the brother-in-law of the legendary diamond king Cecil Rhodes. However, according to Henry, it should be a rumor. The wealthy widow has not yet been reduced to the point where she has to be a courtesan to make ends meet.

From the description of "social butterfly", it can be seen that the attitude of Henry and the others towards Ida is probably that they are eager but not available, so they simply use vulgar words to vent their inner unwillingness.

"Forget it, I don't want to be doused with wine." Rock didn't want to hit a wall. If it was just a purely physiological need, Rock had a better goal.

It's not that the quality is better, but it's more convenient, and there will be no future troubles.

Just like what Henry said, as the most dazzling socialite at the Table Mountain Bar, two lobster officers who felt good about themselves went to talk to Ida just as soon as Henry encouraged Rock.

The result was tragic. Ida dismissed the two officers and didn't even bother to talk to them. One of them wanted to pester, but Ida poured champagne on his face, causing half the bar people to laugh wildly.

Henry knew Ada's background, but the deflated lobster officer didn't know that they had just arrived in Cape Town and would soon go to the front line to meet an unknown fate. Coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, the lobster officer instantly rose Blushing, even redder than the uniform on his body, he raised his hand high, wanting to teach the shameless woman in front of him a lesson.

"stop!"

"Put down your hand, otherwise I don't guarantee that it won't go off."

Several voices sounded at the same time, in addition to Rock, including the bartender brother who seemed harmless to humans and animals at the bar just now. As soon as Officer Lobster raised his hand, a loaded shotgun appeared in his hand. The gun was pointed at Officer Lobster, who was about to commit murder.

"Hey, put down the gun!"

"What the hell are you doing? Are you going to murder an officer in full view?"

"Don't force us to do it, put the gun down."

The other officers in the bar were not easy to mess with either. They were so numerous, they were used to seeing life and death, and they would not be intimidated by a shotgun.

"Stop, I'm the police, you're going too far."

Henry obviously didn't intend to come forward, maybe he still wanted to see a joke, so Rock had to come forward.

"Shut up, little cop."

"You have no place to speak here!"

"Who are you? Indian? Japanese?"

The lobster officers are quite well-informed, at least they don't think Rock is a Roman.

This is also normal, the British colonies are all over the world, and some of them may have served in East Asia.

"Don't care who I am, you just need to know that I'm a policeman." Rock showed his police badge, but immediately ushered in another round of scolding.

Soldiers are really not afraid of the police, not to mention that Roque has not worn a police uniform yet, only a white shirt, which looks really good, but it has no deterrent effect, and it is not formal.

"Shut up! Do you know what you're doing? His husband was a soldier like you, and he just died in battle a few years ago, and you treat her like that? Ever thought that this could happen to you in the future? Wife?" Rock ignored those watching the fun, and justly reprimanded the angry officer.

The noisy bar immediately fell silent.

That's right, no one wants this kind of thing to happen to them. The Lobster officers who were yelling and scolding just now immediately stopped, and when they looked at Ada's eyes, they showed more respect and compassion.

Or, empathy.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about those things, I apologize, I shouldn't have pestered you." The lobster officer with wet hair may be a jerk, but in this case, he knows what to do.

"It's not your fault, I invite everyone to drink, one drink each, I hope you can kill those damn Boers." Ada is also a smart person, very good at adjusting the atmosphere, and a word can make the atmosphere lively again.

"Yes, kill those Boers!"

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Victory!"

Sure enough, they were all simple guys. Originally, they came to the bar to have fun, and the atmosphere was so dignified. It was a bad omen. Victory is what everyone desires, and some people have already started to toasting for victory.

Rock was not surprised. A person who can be called a "social butterfly" must be good at dancing, not to mention whether his conduct is correct or not.

and--

Ada's voice is really nice.

"I'll buy you a drink too, thank you officer." Ada turned her head and looked at Rock with more surprise.

I am really surprised that there are only 10 Chinese in a city of 30 people. I am afraid that Ada has never seen a Chinese before, let alone a Chinese policeman.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Locke. I am the deputy captain of the Cape Town Police Commando. I am very happy to serve you. Ma'am, I wish you a good night." Rock wanted to retire and left Henry alone. Not so good in the corner.

"Wait, officer, why don't you sit down and have a drink?" Ada extended an invitation to Rock.

Rock was also a little surprised, the conscience of heaven and earth, Rock really didn't just play hard to get.

 On Friday, today's results will determine the recommended position for the next week, brothers, Yutou needs every recommendation ticket from you——
