mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 498
When Zhao Chuanxin heard it, he felt that it made sense.

He unbuttoned his shirt, tossed it aside, and sat down on a chair.

It's a big deal and I'll give you a little tip later, right?

The proprietress brought towels, which should have been baked on the fire, so that the towels are so dry.

The proprietress put her left hand on Zhao Chuanxin's chest and wiped it with her right hand.

From the head, to the neck, to the chest, very carefully and seriously.

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't stand this, so he immediately relaxed.

In the past, he liked to have a haircut or massage, and he would feel very relaxed.

I don't know how this works.

The proprietress said: "Sir, you look very much like my brother, but unfortunately, he is dead."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

I'm not a fake fan, I'm lying down, you just tell me this?

The proprietress continued: "When I saw you, I couldn't help but think of my brother."

Zhao Chuanxin asked her: "Did you open this store yourself?"

What he wanted to ask was whether the proprietress had a boss.

The proprietress smiled: "It was my brother who opened this store four years ago after hearing that the Americans were not able to dig a canal in Nicaragua. At that time, he said that since the United States could not dig a canal in Nicaragua, it must be Will come to Panama. And here will definitely be prosperous. Everything he said has come true.”

Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart that he was quite discerning.

The proprietress concluded: "My brother is very smart."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded in agreement.

Ask her: "How did your brother die?"

The proprietress was overshadowed: "Because of me, a man here has taken a fancy to me, but he already has seven wives. In Panama, as long as the eldest wife agrees, a man can have more. He entangled some people to come to me Trouble, my brother stopped him and was killed by him."

This is the first time Zhao Chuanxin has heard of such a rule.

If in Panama, as long as Miao Cuihua becomes the eldest wife, and she doesn't care, can Zhao Chuanxin own the entire forest?

The proprietress began to wipe Zhao Chuanxin's back. Zhao Chuanxin was curious: "What about the person who killed your brother? Get away with it?"

"No," said the proprietress, "he was wiped out by another person who rose later. But I got into new trouble. By the way, my name is Claris. What's your name?"

"Constantine."

Claris said: "Konstantin, look at your clothes, you are from America, right?"

Only the Yankees wear it brightly.

In Panama, traditional dress is not like this.

Rich people wear bolleras, while Chinese laborers wear short jackets.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Yes, from New York."

"How about there? I really want to go and see."

"It is recommended not to go."

Panamanians are very outgoing and outgoing.

But Claris' complexion would change the taste of this character in the United States.

Claris didn't ask why, but stopped talking.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin's pants were also wet, she pointed and said, "Take it off and change into clean ones."

Captain Zhao pretended to be embarrassed: "Why is this so embarrassing?"

He said while taking off his pants.

Claris smiled, showing his straight teeth.

The mouth is really big.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin copying it casually, she didn't know where to get a pair of loose shorts to put on.

Zhao Chuanxin took out another linen shirt.

He looked outside the door, and the rain would not stop for a while.

Claris said, "Otherwise, I'll dry your wet clothes before I go."

Just as Zhao Chuanxin was about to refuse, a soldier hurriedly came outside the door.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the scepter of redemption, thinking it was looking for him.

But the soldier said to Claris: "Miss Claris, General Huertas invited you to a dinner tonight. The general said that many Americans will attend the dinner, including capitalists from the United Fruit Company and the President of the US Army in Panama." Commander William Emery."

It was in Spanish, and Zhao Chuanxin couldn't understand it, but at least he knew he wasn't here to look for him, so he relaxed.

Claris glanced at Zhao Chuanxin, walked forward with a frown, and said in embarrassment: "I don't feel well today, I don't want to go."

At this time, Claris walked in front of Zhao Chuanxin, and Zhao Chuanxin was able to see her back.

This back view is too mind-blowing.

Unlike Miao Cuihua, Miao Cuihua is extremely healthy and well-proportioned, with the skeleton of an oriental woman and a chest that is out of tune with the present.

Claris, on the other hand, has a large frame, thick legs, and a plump buttocks typical of Latin American women.

The waist is also plump, but it is considered slender in comparison.

She was wearing a traditional Panamanian printed skirt, which clearly outlined the lines.

Zhao Chuanxin thought that he had to hurry, it was not easy to see these things, it hurt his vitality.

He turned his gaze away and saw rows of straw hats stacked on the shelves.

He walked over and picked up the straw hats. These straw hats were finely woven, with black stripes or patterns, short brims, and slightly upturned.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly remembered that this is Panama, and isn't this the famous Panama hat?

He couldn't understand the conversation anyway, so he picked a few from the shelf and put them on the counter.

Seeing that the soldier hadn't left yet, he spoke with a cold tone, and the tone of the two of them gradually became more intense.

After a while, the soldier said something coldly, turned around and left, as if he was speaking harshly.

Seeing Claris take a deep breath, Zhao Chuanxin asked her, "What happened?"

"I told you before that I got into new trouble." Claris seemed to have calmed down: "This is trouble. My brother has repeatedly warned me not to get involved with politicians, they don't know how to respect women ...and now I'm in trouble. The man who killed my brother was eliminated by Huertas. With the support of the United States, Huertas is now the general in command of Panama's military. He wants me to Go to his dinner party, I don't want to go, the soldier threatened me."

It turned out that the dignitaries of Panama had taken a fancy to her.

"Ah? How could they do this? It's unreasonable, there is no king's law, no legal dog..." Zhao Chuanxin said the most indignant words with a blank face, and then put the straw hat on the counter: "Calculate how much it is. "

"..." Claris felt weird. She quoted the price, took the money, and suddenly said, "Sir, will you go back to the United States? Why don't you take me to the United States."

Sure enough, very unrestrained.

This is the second time they met, and they actually made such a request.

The folk customs are simple and honest.

Zhao Chuanxin said with emotion, "Oh, I'm not going to America, I'm going to Hawaii."

"Isn't Hawaii part of the United States now?"

"Ah..." Zhao Chuanxin was speechless, panting, "Then go to Asia via Hawaii."

After speaking, he picked up his straw hat and prepared to leave.

Just at this moment, six Panamanian soldiers squeezed through the door aggressively.

Originally, the light in the store was dim, but it was even darker when they blocked the door.

Zhao Chuanxin was about to go out, and couldn't help cursing: "Good dogs don't get in the way, get up and drive."

And Claris bit his lip, with a bit of despair on his face.

Zhao Chuanxin spoke English. It was only in the past few years that the Yankees came, and some indigenous people in Panama only started to learn English. I thought the soldier could not understand.

however,
The soldier yelled: "Fake, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth: "I said, you hinder me from walking, get out of the way, understand?"

The last thing a soldier should do is reach out and grab Zhao Chuanxin's collar.

Zhao Chuanxin was annoyed by this the most.

But with the Panama hat in his left hand, his right hand grasped the opponent's palm first, and broke it forward.

"Ah... it hurts, it hurts..."

Seeing this, the soldiers next to him raised their eyes and wanted to step forward to help.

Worried about destroying Claris' shop, after all, he had "served" him, Zhao Chuanxin took the Panama hat in his left hand, pushed a soldier with his right hand, and held another soldier's hand with his left hand. , pushed his door and walked out the door.

Everything happened so fast that Claris hadn't reacted yet.

Zhao Chuanxin took them out, and hit the soldier whose finger was broken with an electric cannon.

He took out the whip of judgment, swept the whip out, swung his elbows, put on his head and danced flowers, and the wind swayed willows...

After a few moves, he crackled and was beaten to pieces by a group of soldiers, crying for his father and mother.

Because the devil vine has unfurled its barbs...

Zhao Chuanxin spat: "I'm just here to buy some fucking things, and you can come and find fault, too. It can be seen that Uertas is not a good bird."

He looked at it, and there was still flesh hanging on the judgment whip, it was disgusting.

So he blew a whistle, and the hanging blood beads were instantly absorbed, and the devil vine shook, and all the flesh and blood were shaken off.

These soldiers may have taken Claris away forcibly, deliberately freeing up their hands and feet without carrying guns.

In this era, those who can be equipped with pistols are often officers, and the big soldiers are not qualified.

They couldn't beat Zhao Chuanxin, so they wailed for a while, looked at each other, supported each other, and limped away while saying cruel words that Zhao Chuanxin couldn't understand.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't want to make too much noise, so he didn't stop him, and was about to leave anyway.

Zhao Chuanxin looked down, his body was wet again.

Spicy next door, endless.

This time he didn't go back, and was going to leave directly, looking for another place to change clothes and put on a raincoat to chase the cargo ship.

But Claris came out and said, "Konstantin, I'll take you to a safe place, you've caused a disaster."

She wrapped something in waterproof oil paper, locked the door of the store, and dragged Zhao Chuanxin to run through the rain.

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to get rid of her, but that didn't seem to be the case, after all, he was also out of kindness.

At this time, there were thunder and lightning, and the rain was smoking.

Zhao Chuanxin shouted loudly: "Where are you taking me?"

Claris was in front, without looking back, he said, "Take you to a safe place."

The so-called safe place turned out to be the site of excavation of ruins.

There is a narrow passage here, supported by logs on both sides, and the inside is actually quite dry.

Claris wiped the rain from his face and said, "The Americans dug here, and they took all the bottles and jars from the cemetery away."

Americans like to do this very much, and have taken away many cultural relics from different countries around the world.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that the short dress on her body was tightly attached to her body after being wet by the rain.

Especially in the front, Zhao Chuanxin found that the inside was an empty tube, which was printed on the body by the rain,
He can see everything clearly.

This made him involuntarily raise his head in "respect".

After all, everyone is soaked in rain.

So Claris also saw this scene.

She patted Zhao Chuanxin's arm generously: "What time is it, still thinking about these..."

Zhao Chuanxin: "You may not know, but I always think with my lower body."

Claris reached out and tugged at his short dress, letting it separate from his body.

She changed the topic and said: "The graves of our ancestors were dug by the Americans, but President Amado didn't care. He only knows how to be greedy for money, and the same is true for Huertas. room, the money in it piled up like a mountain..."

Zhao Chuanxin's heart moved: "How much money is there?"
