Chapter 55
Not far ahead of what Li Xian was pointing to, there was a white road sign on the side of the road. The sign of "SKVY" was engraved on the road sign, but the V sign was completely invisible because the paint was too peeled off. The other three characters also have different degrees of peeling paint. The only one that is considered intact is the letter S. The edge of the road sign is also covered with brown rust due to long-term wind and sun. If you look at it from behind Looking at this road sign, I'm afraid it will only be regarded as a piece of iron, and it was placed here as a prank.

Before Lucian could answer, Li Xian had already turned the intersection where the road sign was located, and a city appeared in the distance on the horizon, presumably it was the destination of their trip, Sokovia.

I don’t know if seeing Sokovia, there will be some kind of special ability. The original rough road has become much smoother, and the speed of the jeep has also increased. As the city scene far away on the horizon becomes more and more The bigger they got, the closer the three of them were to Sokovia. Finally, after climbing up a broken stone bridge, the jeep drove into the suburbs of Sokovia.

The reason why it is called the suburbs of the city is that there are already inhabited houses here. It may be in time for lunch. The chimneys on the top of several houses are curling up and emitting smoke. Passers-by walking on both sides of the road see The jeep driven by Li Xian all showed surprised expressions, and the children playing on the road even chased after the car, waving the branches and dead grass in their hands, not sure if it was for fun or to stop the jeep.

After crossing the outskirts of the city, the jeep drove into a construction site. First of all, the most eye-catching thing was the bronze statue in the middle of the construction site. Since its back was facing Li Xian and the others, the appearance of the bronze statue could not be seen clearly, but from its height With a height of about 50 meters, we can know how important this person is in Sokovia. Except for the bronze statue, there are only workers and machinery on the construction site. Sitting on both sides of the road, holding a box lunch brought from home, laughing and cursing with colleagues while eating delicious meals.

When Li Xian walked around the construction site, he finally saw the appearance of the bronze statue clearly. It was a man with only two eyes. I don’t know if it was his nose, the mouth was not carved, or there were other intentions. Anyway, he only saw a pair of eyes. , As for why it is a man, because his chest is flat, it is impossible to be a flat chest or a woman, this is too detrimental.

Bypassing the construction site, they officially entered Sokovia. Since the road ahead was very narrow, and it was the first time for the three of them to enter the city, it might be inconvenient to drive, so Li Xian parked the car in the Outside a street, I talked to the old man who set up a stall at the entrance of the street, and gave him a little money as a reward, asking him to take care of the jeep.

After the car stopped, Daniel woke up from his sleep. The symptoms of dizziness, nausea and vomiting, he recovered after a short sleep, and he instantly returned to his previous lively appearance. I really dare not Sigh, the scourge will last for thousands of years.

After settling in the jeep, the three of them were about to find someone to ask for directions, but they saw a white guy approaching the three of them with a friendly smile and asked, "Brothers, are you just here?" Sokovia? Do you need a guide, I am the most famous local guide, no matter where you want to go, I can take you there."

This Caucasian guy has a black hairstyle like a cockscomb head. He wears a pattern with an eagle logo on his upper body, a pair of sports trousers on his lower body, and a pair of basketball shoes under his feet. You can see from the LOGO on the side of the shoes that they look like Converse. s brand.

Li Xian was worrying about not being able to find his way. Unexpectedly, someone would automatically come to his door to help him. He pretended to be disapproving and said, "What do you do as a tour guide? Let's hear it first."

"It's easy to say, 200 yuan a day, this is the most reasonable price (I'm talking nonsense about the price, don't take it seriously)." The white man rubbed his hands and said.

"Two white rice yuan, you think we don't know how to do it? When I was a tour guide, it was not so expensive. You dare to charge this price in a poor place, up to 100 yuan. If you like it, don't do it, don't do it." Daniel stared aside. He squinted his eyes and said loudly.

"No, brother, it's all at this price. You can't lower the price like this. I have to support my family anyway. Give me a way to survive." When the white man heard Daniel's quotation, his eyes turned red and he pulled He explained immediately.

On weekdays, Li Xian would not agree if a white man offered such a price, but today he was out to deal with business, and it really didn't make much difference if it was more than a hundred or less, so he grabbed Daniel who was on the side, and took the price from his pocket. He took out a hundred-yuan bill, handed it to the black man and said, "Then, pay half of it first. Be good. When we leave at night, I will give you the other half. If there is no problem, we will start working immediately."

Daniel wanted to say something more, but the white man on the side hurriedly put the hundred-dollar bill into the interlayer of his underwear, fearing that Daniel would snatch it from his hands, he patted his chest with his hands and said, "Don't worry, Little brother, I am well-known in this area, and I am well-known, and the quality of service is absolutely first-class, so just watch it, I don’t know where you will go first.”

"Hehe, can you do it? It's not just talking about it. Let's see the truth. Take us to the hardware store first. We need to buy some small things. Don't take us around. Brothers are not rookies. The doorway in the market We know each other very well." After Li Xian finished talking about the destination, he was worried that the white people would make trouble out of it, so he gave a warning.

"Shopping, right? Let's go. I'll take you to the largest hardware store. I'll keep all the high-quality first-hand sources for you." (I used to be an errand in the market. It’s for purchasing, you can ask me, I can tell you some tricks in the market.) After the white man finished speaking, he took Li Xian and the three of them to the southwest of Sokovia, where there are slums and rich areas. At the beginning, the junction was just a place for the poor to set up stalls. Later, the scale became larger and larger. Some businessmen saw business opportunities and built a commercial street there, and finally became the largest commodity transaction center in Sokovia.

So the hardware store that Pietro took them to was indeed the largest in Sokovia, and it can also be said to be the first-hand wholesaler in Sokovia. Obviously, they did not cheat them because they were foreigners.

But before going to the hardware store, they went to a restaurant for dinner. Since they got up too late in the morning, they missed the breakfast time, and then came directly to Sokovia, and there was no chance at all, let alone Daniel. The food is so powerful, the stomach has been empty for a long time, of course it is better to have a meal to fill the stomach at this time.

The restaurant they went to was introduced by Pietro, who said it was a specialty shop in the slums. The owner of the shop was a fat woman. The city was famous for its first-hand pizza and barbecue. As long as you came here for sightseeing Anyone who wants to try her handicrafts, it is said that when it is time to eat, there will be a long queue of people queuing up.

The three of Li Xian just happened to be in time for the meal, and most of the guests had already finished their meal. After sitting for a while, the food they ordered was brought up by the waiter, and the three of them smelled a tempting fragrance from a long distance away. , wait until the waiter put the dishes in front of them, the golden crust, thick white cheese, red sauce, and various side dishes, mixed with the aroma of minced meat, vegetables, sweet sauce, barbecue The fragrance has a strong visual and taste impact, which makes the three of them move their index fingers.

Since the pizza had already been cut by the waiter, Li Xian put on his gloves, grabbed a piece, and pulled up a slender silk thread. If he hadn't pressed it with his hands, he would have almost taken the whole pizza into the air until he put the pizza on the In the mouth, bite down, the taste of cheese, sauce, and various side dishes gather in the air at the same time, giving people a strong sense of satisfaction.

The other two also gave thumbs up after tasting them. Seeing their appearance, Pietro was also very proud. He raised his glass and gestured to the three of them. The four of them had a drink together, and Pietro wiped it. The beer froth dropped from the corner of his mouth, and he was about to speak, when there was a burst of shouting from the entrance of the street in the distance.

Li Xian and other people in the store were also attracted by the shouting. They turned their heads and looked towards the street. They saw a white man about two meters tall, wearing a vest, with his hands and arms exposed. Covered with black body hair, with a cigarette hanging from his mouth, with his hips crossed, he swaggered towards Li Xian and the others. Behind him were four or five men of different skin colors. They were dressed roughly the same. It's all street style.

When the passers-by on the street saw them, their faces were terrified, and they hurriedly dodged aside, presumably they knew the origin of this group of people very well.

After seeing the faces of the crowd, Pietro hurriedly lowered his head, and said to Li Xian and the others: "Turn around, don't look at them, they are well-known gangsters, and what they like most is to bully you who come here to travel. It will be miserable for them to blackmail you."

Li Xian and others who were observing them chuckled when they heard what Pietro said, stuffed the pizza in their hands into their mouths, turned around and stopped paying attention to them, only Daniel stared at them unbelievingly It took a long time, but the white man seemed to be looking for something on the street, and he never noticed Daniel's gaze. Finally, Daniel had to give up. After all, he couldn't stop eating, so he just stared at others.

When Daniel turned around, the white man just turned his attention to Daniel, stayed on them for a while, and was interrupted by a black man beside him. He leaned over to the white man and pointed Pointing to the alley not far away, the white man waved and led the others into the alley.

The white man walked away, and Li Xian and the three of them almost finished their meal. They called the waiter, and after paying the bill, they continued to walk to the hardware store under the leadership of Pietro.

The four of them took a walk after dinner while admiring the sights on both sides of the street. Since it was just after the meal and the sun was fierce, most people hid under the eaves to enjoy the cool. People like them walking under the sun, There were not many, so when a hooded little girl rushed out in the alley in the distance, she was particularly conspicuous. In addition, when she passed by a small vendor, she knocked down the owner's The goods on the roadside immediately attracted the attention of everyone on both sides of the street.

The owner of the vendor was a black woman. She happened to be sitting in the shade by the side of the road enjoying the cool air. Unfortunately, the little girl bumped into the goods next to her. With quick eyes and quick hands, she caught the little girl who was trying to escape, and at the same time said Li cursed viciously.

The little girl didn't care about the black woman's insults, she just twisted her body unsteadily under her hands, and at the same time looked towards the alley from time to time, obviously observing the movement in the alley.

When the black woman saw that the little girl ignored her, she was already angry, and she became even more angry. She picked up a wooden stick from the goods on the side, and was about to pull it on the little girl.

When the passers-by on the road saw the black woman's movements, most of them exclaimed and stopped them one after another. Those who were close to her even planned to rush forward to stop her, including Li Xian.

Since he was the closest to the black woman, when she just raised the stick and drew it towards the little girl, Li Xian had already come to her side, stretched out his hand, and held the wooden stick that fell in mid-air tightly in his hand. He put it in his hand, frowned tightly, and said sharply: "What are you doing, she is just a little girl, are you trying to kill her with this stick?"

The black woman didn't expect that someone would come out to help the little girl, with a look of surprise on her face, after she saw clearly the appearance of the person in front of her and Pietro beside her, she sneered and said, "You're an outsider, don't meddle in your own business." , Damn girl, she broke my things, and it would be considered light for me to beat her."

Li Xian didn't expect that the black woman would dare to be so righteous. He felt angry, and the strength in his hands increased a little. He didn't expect to crush the wooden stick directly, turning into snowflake-like sawdust and falling on the top of the black woman's head.

The black woman only heard a "bang" coming from her ear, and then a little thing fell into her collar and cheek. Frightened, she yelled and let go of her original grip. The right hand of the little girl's collar kept patting the sawdust on her body.

The little girl got rid of the control of the black woman, moved her calf, and ran towards the left side of the booth, not wanting to bump into Daniel who followed him head-on. Seeing the little girl bumping into him, he hurriedly stretched out and grabbed the little girl's shoulder , lest she hit herself and fall to the ground.

When he grabbed it, he ensured that the little girl would not bump into her, and at the same time trapped the little girl in place. The anxious little girl looked up at Daniel and shouted: "Let go of me, you little girl!" Scoundrel." After speaking, he kept shaking his shoulders, trying to get rid of Daniel's hands.

Daniel didn't expect to help her, but she was called a villain. When he was crying and laughing, he saw the little girl shaking her shoulders and covering her face which was originally covered by hair. After he saw the little girl's appearance clearly, his face gradually turned into panic. He said loudly, "Lily, are you Lily? I'm your Uncle Daniel."
