Miss Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either!

As he said that, Chen also asked Teresia in a very puzzled way:

"Teresia, don't you know the emperor?"

"I usually don't watch rap."

Teresa waved her hand. Rapper, that is, rap singer, this emerging music form also belongs to her blind spot of knowledge.

Teresia was a little embarrassed. When she came out of Victoria, she was full of confidence and felt that she had lived for so long and knew a little about everything. She would definitely be able to help Wayne on this trip, but unexpectedly, this On the first day she went out, she encountered so many knowledge blind spots.

Not with children, not with drinks, not with pop music.It's really embarrassing.

In contrast, Kelsey always said that she knows everything and is omnipotent. Is she really that powerful?

Why don't you go back and ask her for advice.If you always live in a traditional environment and still have an outdated perception of the world, sooner or later you will be eliminated because you cannot keep up with the times.Teresia didn't want to hold Wayne back.

"However, why is a logistics company being targeted by those people? What does it have to do with blackmailing you?"

Theresa asked.Chen explained again:

"Well, Penguin Logistics is a rather special company. Although it claims to be a logistics company, strictly speaking, it is more like a security company with armed escorts. Most of the orders it undertakes are high-risk and high-reward escort tasks. Strictly speaking, they are not very legal in some places, but Wei Yanwu opened the back door for them and issued a license, so the Guard Bureau can only turn a blind eye to them. As for why they were targeted... .If my guess is correct, it has something to do with the things they escorted?"

"Probably." Ansuo took a sip of milk tea, "I don't know very well. The emperor was in a hurry when he came to see me, and the angel of energy kept honking downstairs, and he could still hear the sound of firefighting from time to time. He gave I paid a sum of money, then dropped a box for safekeeping, and then ran away. I don’t know what’s in the box, and whether it has anything to do with them being hunted down.”

"It probably has something to do with it, otherwise why would they chase you?"

Chen analyzed.Ansuo poked with two fingers, showing an awkward smile, and said:

"Not necessarily, maybe because I didn't pay the rent?"

Chen Yi was taken aback: "Didn't the emperor give you a sum of money, and you didn't use it to pay the rent?"

An Suo shook his head, a little sad: "No, I have spent all the money the Emperor gave me."

Chen frowned, a little angry.Ansuo took the money given by the emperor, and according to the character of that penguin, it would definitely not be less.But she actually spent all the money and couldn't bear to pay the rent?

this kid!

"Where did you spend your money?"

Chen's voice could not help but carry a bit of sternness.Ansuo was yelled at by Chen, bit his lips, tears welled up in his eyes, lowered his head, clenched his fists on his thighs, even his ears drooped, and muttered:

"It hurts, it hurts."

"what?"

"It hurts! What do you, a policeman, know? You don't have ore disease, you won't be tossed and turned in bed in pain all night and can't sleep, and you won't watch origin stones grow out of your skin every day, no I know I won’t be able to wake up that day. Of course I’m going to buy medicine when I get the money! But the medicine is so expensive.. If it doesn’t arrive in two days, the money will be spent...”

An Suo put his head aside, never looked at Chen again, and buried his head in Theresia's arms.

Chen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

Medicine, money.

In the slums where the underworld is entrenched, the rent was not paid, but the debt collectors were chasing debts, and they went to the streets to steal a few times. If they were lucky, they could save enough rent to pay back the rent in time.With the name of being secretly in the slums, maybe he can have a few days of grace.

But ore disease does not wait for anyone. It is like an emotionless killer. When a 14-year-old girl faces threats to her life and chooses between her residence and her life, she will undoubtedly choose the latter.Even if she knew that the money was spent and she was hunted down, and she had to make another choice, she would still choose to buy medicine.

She's only 14, she wants to live, what's wrong with her?

Chen lowered his head guiltily.It is the fault of those in power and politicians that let the underworld appear in the slums, let the 14-year-old children not get any care, and have to live by stealing chickens and dogs, and let the infected have no human rights, relief and protection.

"Anyway, anyway, please take us to see that box?"

Teresia gently stroked the girl's somewhat thin body, activated her Originium skills, and her warm heart soothed the girl's sad heart.

An Suo nodded slightly.

Chapter 36 The Mouse King Father and Daughter

As the so-called head of Longmen's underground organization department and the godfather of Longmen's gangsters, [Rat King] Lin Gerui's life is legendary.

When he was young, he traveled all over the world with Wei Yanwu, came to Longmen, and led people to take back the large mobile city of Longmen from Kosiche with the power of a dozen people. clear.

So much so that, among those who knew his famous name as the Mouse King, almost no one would think that such a legendary figure would actually stay in an old Victorian candy store on the corner of the street, together with dim old desk lamps and pirated candies live.

In their eyes, he should be the same as Wei Yanwu, Governor of Longmen.Living in a courtyard house with white walls and gray tiles, there are beauties in classical costumes serving tea, singing and playing the piano. No matter how bad they are, they will be like the "Godfather" in the Syracuse movie, sitting in the backlit room every day. On the big leather armchair, with Erlang's legs crossed, while stroking the cat in his hand, he said in an incomprehensible accent: "What made you disrespect me so much... You begged me to do something, but you didn't even want to call me One [Rat King]."

But Lin Gerui said that all of the above are prejudices and misunderstandings.

The hero does not mention the bravery of the past, and despite the glorious past, he is nothing more than an old man who eats salty carrots and cares less, raises his daughter quietly, and waits for retirement.

If you have to let him do something like the godfather, that's not impossible.But let me state in advance that the godfather in the movie is handsome because people don't understand the customs of Syracuse, and he has a different kind of novelty.And if it's the Mouse King doing these things...

A 1.6-meter, seven-foot-tall rat sits on a grand master chair, behind which are pasted "Welcome to the New Year" window grilles to block the sunlight from entering the house.The big mouse scratched the Yanguo raccoon cat on its leg with one hand, and propped its head with the other hand, showing a troubled expression. It took a long time before it came out two sentences in Sichuan dialect (Northeast dialect, Chaoshan dialect, Cantonese dialect):

"You don't even want to call me [Mouse King]!"

See, the effect of the show changes from Godfather to New Police Story or Once Upon a Time in Northeast China, it just depends on the dialect you use in Dayan.

"So, Yuxia, do you understand?"

"Understood, father!" Lin Yuxia, who had short lavender hair and was dressed in black night clothes, nodded seriously, "You want to teach me that we don't have superficial glamor and should act in a low-key manner, right?"

The Mouse King shook his head, and said bluntly:

"I mean, I want you to watch less gangster movies and gangster movies. The little girl is from a family, and she doesn't learn well all day long. When will you be able to watch normal things?"

Lin Yuxia curled her lips.So what if she likes to watch gangster movies and gangster movies?Every time she secretly watched these discs, she did so with a critical eye.

As the daughter of the Mouse King, although her father did not force her to become the next generation of the Mouse King, the requirement is the requirement, and awareness is awareness.Lin Yuxia has been ready to take over from her father since she was sensible.

She doesn't necessarily have to be the next generation of Mouse King, but she can be.One is the father's request, and the other is his own decision.With such a great mission ahead, isn't it normal for personal emotional matters to be moved back a little bit to make room for them?

Dad just loves to worry too much.He kept saying something, don't learn from him, he was fooled by Wei Yanwu and roamed the world for decades, but in the end he almost couldn't even get his wife.She doesn't believe in this kind of thing. How can no one like a capable person?

As for those "Country Love Stories" her father recommended her to see, please, it's out of date, and she has no interest in it.

"Well, that's it. I'm going first, Father."

After being choked by her father, Lin Yuxia has no intention of staying here any longer. The air in the candy store is not good, and the environment is also very dark. All the furnishings look very old, as if time has stagnated here. Longmen, a modern metropolis separated by a wall, is simply two worlds.

Lin Yuxia doesn't like the atmosphere here, it's decadent, outdated, and slow. She is a vigorous and decisive person. From this point of view, she has the same temper as the impatient dragon policeman.

Why did I suddenly think of her, bad luck.

Lin Yuxia shook her head, concentrating her mind.The cane in Shu Wang's hand hit the ground heavily, and he sighed helplessly.Looking at it like this, Lin Yuxia must not have listened to what he just said.

Watch less gangster movies, gangster movies are a good thing for her.Regardless of whether she becomes the Mouse King or not in the future, she cannot be hostile to Wei Yanwu and the Longmen officials.Life-and-death struggles in those gangster movies must never appear!

Forget it, raising children is a long-term thing, so don't be impatient.take it easy.

Shu Wang waved his hand, indicating that Lin Yuxia should leave quickly if she has something to do, and she doesn't have to come to the store every day to chat with him, an old man.Lin Yuxia nodded, and bowed slightly to say goodbye. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the Shu King greeting behind her:

"By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to say."

"Recently, restrain yourself a bit, and don't let those bastards make any noise, no matter how small the noise is!"

Lin Yuxia nodded:

"I know, the Guards are collecting the net. The gang in the 2-4 block is almost finished."

Unexpectedly, the Mouse King shook his head instead:

"No, it's not because of the Guards Bureau. I won't pursue the fact that you planted an informant in the Guards Bureau. You take the spies back yourself. I'm asking you to pay attention because of another matter."

The Mouse King said seriously:

"Longmen is currently going through a major event. Mrs. Wenyue gave me some inspiration. That old guy Wei Yanwu is betting. Whether he wins the bet or not, these few days will have a huge impact on the future development of Longmen. This paragraph During the period of time, Wei Yanwu will not allow any possible variables to affect him. So, take good care of our people."

The Mouse King said, squinting his eyes, and said in the most gloomy tone,

"That guy, in order to achieve his own goals, can kill even brothers."

This was the first time for the girl to feel the coercion of her father as the mouse king. Lin Yuxia felt a chill down her spine and lowered her head, "Understood."

"Let's go." Shu Wang swung his walking stick.

Lin Yuxia quickly left the store as if fleeing, the wind chime at the door made a tinkling sound.

Shu Wang lay down leisurely on the master chair. When it was time, he planned to sleep for a while.However, before he closed his eyes for 5 minutes, the old store door creaked again, driving the wind chimes at the door to play noisy music.

The Mouse King opened his eyes.Strange and strange, there are still guests in his place today?

Two people came to buy sugar.

Chapter 37 I Can Protect Your Daughter

Two people came to buy sugar.

When Wayne walked into the store holding Wei Na's hand, he seemed to have entered another world in a trance.

Although it is often cleaned, the L-shaped wooden cabinet at the front desk is still covered with dust, various cigarettes are placed under the glass window, a freezer with wet towels next to it, and orange soda frosted in the freezer with coke.

Some yellowed and some overly bright incandescent lamps illuminate the small shop, as if there are a variety of loose candies in the cabinets arranged according to the bookshelves of the library.As long as you open the transparent drawer, you can use a small stainless steel shovel to scoop out a scoop from it and put it in a fresh-keeping bag that hangs aside and needs to be pulled tightly to remove it.Then take it to the front desk to weigh, and then check out.

In the innermost part of the shop, in a closet-like cabinet, are the most expensive candies here.It was branded either Rutland or Victoria, but there was always a slight mistake in the order of the letters or in the details, for example "Victoria" would become "Victorie" or "Victoria".At first glance, it looks flawless, but in fact the meaning is quite different.

These are the "pirated candies" in Wayne's mouth.

Wayne looked at this small world independent of the big city with some nostalgia.He had never been here before, and it was the first time he saw the furnishings in it with his own eyes.But there is still a sense of familiarity from distant memories.

It's like going back to the previous life, when there was a big sale in the supermarket store.Although they are all unfamiliar brands, they all feel familiar.

Wei Na looked at Wei En's appearance in memory, a little strange.But the lion's keen intuition told her that it was better not to bother Wayne at this time.

It's a pity that Wei Na doesn't bother, but it doesn't mean that Shu Wang won't bother.Hobbling out of the shop on crutches, the Mouse King looked like a trembling old man. He looked curiously at the two sudden visitors, Wei En and Wei Na. After not seeing any clues, He said unhurriedly:

"There are guests, welcome, welcome."

Wayne regained consciousness from the memory, restrained his mind, looked at the old Zalak tribe in front of him who showed an "ancestral" attitude because of his pure blood, and said with a smile:

"Is the business okay, old man?"

Shu Wang, who is well-known in the underworld of Longmen, acted like an ordinary old man. Faced with the question, he shook his head embarrassedly:

"Average, average. It can't be said to be good, nor can it be said to be bad. Occasionally, children will go to the store to buy some candy. When there is no candy, I am happy to be free."

Wayne nodded, pointed to the candy box marked [Victoria's high-quality fruit candy (one word is wrong)] in the last window, and said:

"How much is a box of your candies?"

The Mouse King stretched out two fingers:

"In this case, a box of [-] Longmen coins. It seems that the two are not locals, but come to Longmen for tourism, right? If you are a rare visitor, I will give you a discount of [-] Longmen coins."

Wei Na opened her eyes wide, a little surprised:

"Wow...but...so cheap?"

Candy is not a luxury, but such a large box of candy only costs [-] Longmen coins, which is a bit exaggerated.Even if Wei Na knew it was a pirated product, after deducting the cost, the boss couldn't make any money, right?

The Mouse King smiled:

"The reason why I opened this store was not for money, but for people."

"As long as there are children who like the candy here, and wanderers who can't forget the sweetness of the candy, this store will continue to open. I don't want to make money, old man, I just hope to leave something in this city."

When the Shu King said this, he paused, and looked out the window through the clean display window at the busy street.The driveway of people coming and going is full of people in a hurry. This store stands here, but people bow their heads and immerse themselves in the bitterness brought by the fast-paced pressure, ignoring the cheap sweetness that is close at hand.

"The speed of this city is too fast. Those of us old people who can't catch up can only save something for it in this way. Think about it, the children encountered setbacks more than ten years ago, crying and eating the candy here , After growing up, he stepped into the society, and one day he encountered setbacks again, suddenly looking back, this shop is still there, and he can still eat the candy here, and it is also a great thing to muster up the courage like he did back then. Romance, something meaningful, isn't it?"

"What's more, it doesn't make any money here. There are still two people like this who are willing to stop and walk into my store to buy some sweets, don't they?"

Wei Na pursed her lips.The scene depicted by the Mouse King seemed to be right in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help but imagine that if she was in a bad mood in the Iron Palace of Londinium ten or twenty years later, she would still be like this now, with Vivienne What a wonderful thing it would be to have En by my side, and Theresia comforting me softly.

The longest love and the most romantic confession is companionship, that is, when you are tired from walking, when you suddenly look back, there are still people waiting for you to go home. In order to make hot tea and cook meals, say "Welcome back".

She felt her nose a little sour, and just about to speak, she planned to buy all the candies here.

Anyway, this is not a luxury consumption for Queen Victoria. Compared with this, she hopes to subsidize this small shop so that it can continue to operate like this.

But Wayne put his hand on her shoulder and stopped her.

"Quite right, old sir."

Wayne said,

"Then your candy, is it true?"

The Shu King frowned slightly, and replied with a smile:

"To tell you the truth, the candy here is so cheap, you should know if it's authentic or not."

"Let me ask you, are the candies here authentic?" Wayne asked again.
