Chapter 514 (1/2)
Grandma's pub.
Joe had enough to eat and drink and puffed out a big cigar in his mouth.
Several policemen in black uniforms, armed with batons and cloaks, stood outside under the lampposts on the sidewalk, talking and laughing in a low voice. Around them, groups of students come and go with big and small bags of things.
The business of the old grandmother's Tavern has gradually come up, and the huge hall has been filled with energetic young men and women.
Some people are making a loud noise, showing off the lively scenes of their hometown's New Year celebration to their friends. Some people are reciting poems in memory of their relatives, friends and lovers in their hometown. Of course, there are also people who have been drinking in the dark and talking around in a daze, and they are about to trigger a conflict.
The territory of the Durham empire was too vast. It took more than a month to get to some frontier provinces from Heidelberg, even by day and night special trains, and it took three months to travel.
The winter vacation of several universities in DIDU is only a little more than a month, so many students are doomed to be unable to go home.
Therefore, the food street is still lively.
Even, it's much more noisy than usual in class.
”I like how they look.” Joe's face was covered with smoke, and his voice became very erratic.
”Well, the unfortunate guy named Michael, what he said to me before he died, made me feel that these guys, although they are very annoying sometimes For example, the bastards of the fourth university who have somehow besieged me. ”
”But it's not bad that they look like this.”
A burly young man who had drunk too much and a thin young man who had drunk too much began to argue about whether the southern people of the Empire drank too much or the northern people of the Empire drank too much.
A good guy asked the maid to serve two glasses of beer, each of which was a liter of bronze goblets, and each of which was twelve.
Two men, who boasted that they represented the drinking capacity of men in the South and north of the Empire, stood at the long table with red eyes amid the cheers of a group of friends, burping loudly and holding up beer glasses.
”Look at these idiots. They're stupid, but they're funny, they're funny, they're cute.” Qiao leisurely way: ”unrestrained, you can enjoy the release of nature Well, I'm a little younger than them, but I always feel that I don't fit in with them. ”
”Why is that?” Weima kneels on the stool, petite and thin as bean sprouts. She twists and turns, and uses a knife to cut a leg bone that Joe chews so brightly that there is no tendon left.
”It could be Too many people? ” Joe's voice became very slight: ”if you do this kind of thing too much, it's hard to get close to ordinary people.”
Tifa squinted and looked at Joe seriously.
”Don't think about it, Joe. Look at your clothes. You're an imperial soldier.” Tifa was silent for a while. She was not good at words. She finally put out a word to comfort Joe: ”those who were killed by you are all damned people.”
”Maybe.” Joe took his glass and took a big gulp.
He patted his belly briskly and murmured, ”so, I like to come here Grandma's food is delicious, and the people here are very happy. Sitting here, I feel relaxed, I feel I'm far away from those old weird things. I'm still a living, flesh and blood person. ”
The corners of Tifa's eyes drooped, and his pretty face was wrinkled. ”How come you've become like gorkin?”
”Yes? My melancholy temperament? ” Joe began to smile. His smile was like a vigorous Chinese cabbage, white, chubby and tender, which made people have a good appetite.
Tifa rolled his eyes.
Weima had already stood on the table, dancing and cheering for the two men who had already drunk three glasses of beer.
She even took out a handful of gold marks and yelled at the students nearby: ”who will bet with me? I can beat this skinny monkey Ha ha, he will be the last one
A large group of students came in this direction. They waved the golden mark and silver Fanny one after another and yelled at Weima.
Weima danced and asked the maid for paper and pen, and wrote down the students' bets.
There are two men who are fighting for wine. They drink a little faster.
Especially the burly northern man, he is drinking, while his eyes are not good at staring at the busy Weima - little girl film, actually look down on himself, then, he must win!
The atmosphere in the pub became more and more lively.
Joe stood up. He opened his strong arm and protected Weima, shouting: ”one by one, one by one, don't mess, don't mess Well, how much do you bet? Five gold marks, bet that gorilla wins? So, this beautiful girl, are you betting on this skinny monkey? ”
”Oh, oh, the gorilla and the skinny monkey fight, fast, while they are not drunk, quickly bet!”Joe grinned so hard that his teeth showed.
All the way north from port Tulun, the troubles in Ruhr City, the troubles in the imperial capital, the killing in the Lanin corridor, and the miserable scenes in the turmoil of the imperial capital
There are lots of troubles, big and small.
All the negative emotions, accumulated in the heart of the pressure, are in laughter, in the impact of alcohol dissipated.
Joe had a brilliant smile. He waved his arms and sweated faintly on his forehead.
His white face turned red. At the moment, like those college students around him, he really had the appearance that young people should have.
Old lady Mary stands at the kitchen door with a smile, quietly looking at the dancing Joe, and Wilma, who is busy taking bets and recording the name information of the gambler.
