Chapter 688 (1/1)
The speaker was a thin man with only a very loose jacket on his upper body, revealing his body covered with scars and tattoos. A tattoo in the shape of an anchor on his right arm has been blurred, indicating that the tattoo was tattooed many years ago. As far as Lothar knew, only a sailor would have tattooed such a pattern on his body. However, the man in front of him did not look like a sailor. He could only understand that it was some kind of camouflage or that he had been off the ship for many years.
”You are so careless that you have been chased here. If it wasn't for this boy, your brother would have lost my fingers! ” Old Jimmy shrugged his nose and complained that, judging from his words, this thin and hunchback man was the bobcat the pirates had just been looking for. And from the familiarity of their conversation, it can be seen that most of the words that old Jimmy said to the pirates that he had not seen the brother for many years were also false.
Bobcat scratched his head, picked up a piece of dried meat hanging on the wall and bit it down. Although the back of the jerky had been infested with insects, he seemed indifferent and even chewed it with relish. After his brother snatched the food from his hand, he reluctantly sat on the table and said, ”come on, those cowards of Silver Skull will chop your fingers? Who doesn't know your old Jimmy on the lost heart Bay dock? There are no crops and no livestock in this place, but you will always have a room for food. Even if the quality is not good, your hand is enough for those idiots to weigh in. Boy, ”he said, turning his eyes to Lothar,” you're lucky today. I can tell you that half of the rest of lost heart's Bay can be found in this shop, except for the food for the pubs and witches. And you helped our brother solve a problem today. Your dinner is worth looking forward to. ”
”Forget it. I don't want the smell of dead people on my table.” Said Lothar, frowning, referring to the former crew of the Silver Skull that Bobcats had sold them false information, which led to the loss of personnel. The count helped old Jimmy because he couldn't bear to see a man hurt innocently in front of him. When he realized that the man was not innocent, his mood would get worse, which was a matter of course. The reason why Lothar doesn't get angry now is that old Jimmy, like him, doesn't know what SM did, so old Jimmy can be regarded as a victim. In this case, it's better to help a less innocent victim himself than to be cheated by a real villain. I hope so.
”The smell of the dead? What's that smell like? Is it the smell of rotten meat? Or the smell of internal decay? Maybe it's the taste of salt sprinkled on the old meat Bobcats swayed their legs and didn't care at all about Lothar's sarcasm. He reached out and pulled a leaf of vegetable, and looked at the count through the wormhole above. ”Don't you think I'm a good thing? You think I killed people? How do you know what those Silver Skull guys are doing? They are pirates, boy. I don't need to tell you how to eat this bowl of rice. Of course, if you insist, I can tell you that all the people here are pirates, and all the people in the world are pirates. The gods are on top of each other. This is what they taught us
Speaking of this, Bobcat jumped down from the table, used the vegetable leaf in his hand as a sword, and imitated the etiquette of the knight in the drama, ”you see, there is no difference between what my brother and I sell. Although the food in this room can be eaten, there must be ways to make you uncomfortable. The bread is mixed with sawdust, and the sausage is filled with lime. Nowadays, even rat meat sausage is adulterated. Am I right, brother? It's not just selling food, but people who sell other things always do, otherwise what do they make? This is seven true and three false. ”
”As for me, what I sell is not as real as they are, but it is always more important than them. Strange as you say, how can things without substance be more reliable than things that can be seen and touched? It must not. So what I sell naturally has a disadvantage, that is, my buyers always think that what they buy is ineffective because I don't sell well and never think that I can't use it. This can be a great injustice, you buy a chair as a table, but complain that it is too short to hurt your waist, who is the fault? Therefore, according to their opinion, the things I sell are three points true and seven points false. But in my opinion, the things I sell are ten percent of the real goods. There are many young and old people who are not cheated! ” SM's speech seemed to go on, but old Jimmy stopped him.
The boss threw a bag of things wrapped in rags on Bobcat's face, which finally calmed him down. ”I'm sorry to have let you listen to his nonsense for a long time. This guy doesn't talk so much. He must have sucked blubber and lost his brain ”Let's do our business, but there's one thing he's right about. Anyway, you helped me today, so things can be cheaper. I heard that you live with your woman. I have something good here. I wonder if you are interested in it The boss put his hand under the counter and looked like he was going to get the so-called ”good thing”. Lothar could probably guess what it was, so she shook her head.
”Forget it, I don't need those. Today I just want to buy some vegetables. It would be better if I could buy some more meat. I don't want to eat fish any more This is true. As a man who grew up in Cangshi, Lothar can't accept all the food in lost heart Bay. For him, even sausage mixed with lime is better than salted fish which is disgusting.As for the blubber in old Jimmy's mouth, it's not really whale fat, it's a white paste similar in appearance. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the lost heart Bay. As long as the gas generated by the fire can make people have pleasant hallucinations, it was originally used as an analgesic. But later, it was regarded as a kind of enjoyment because of its good hallucinogenic effect. It can be confirmed that this blubber is highly addictive and harmful to human body. It can be regarded as tobacco with enhanced effects.
”Well, wait a minute. I'll go back and pick some dishes that are not so badly bitten by insects. It's a thank you gift. What else to buy after that depends on how much money you have in your pocket. Besides, you'd better get that damned cat out. When are you going to carry it? Even if you want to get it back to meat, I have to remind you that there's nothing on the guy who's out looking for food for the kittens Old Jimmy shrugged and turned to open the door, where the voice of Bobcats could be heard. Lothar sighed. As a knight, he was totally against blubber, but he didn't understand the sailors' desire to relax in their miserable life. For example, he was sure that captain haftan had blubber in his room.
A few minutes later, Lothar, with her ingredients in her arms, was back on her way home. The cat who stole the fish was also separated from him at this time, and disappeared in the shadow of the alley with the fish bought by the count. This time, there was no more accident, which may be because he had walked out of the busiest part of lost heart Bay and avoided the wharf. Looking at the warehouse not far away, the count showed a smile. He knew there was someone waiting for him to go back.
