Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey
Page 271
In their view, there were seven or eight of them on their side, and one little girl and a few hesitant friends on the other side, so the advantage was mine.
"Um... I don't know you guys. Forget about borrowing money. Could you please make way?"
Suixiang glanced around. Although many people were pointing and talking about this place, their eyes were unclear when they looked at these thugs. It was obvious that they had been oppressed by these guys.
"If you lend it to me, we know each other now!" Seeing Suixiang was about to leave, one of them opened his hands and blocked her way.
Although it was effortless for Suika to beat these thugs to death, she could get away with killing someone in public, but Matt and the others might suffer.
So Suika sighed, and then took out Ibuki's ladle with a helpless look.
"Hey, you guys have hands and feet, why don't you do anything else? Why do you have to be gangsters? To be honest, you don't deserve to drink this Shaodaozi..."
Five minutes later, Suika released her grip, threw the last thug who had been drunk unconscious to the ground, and said to the stunned crowd not far away:
"Everyone saw it, I didn't hit these guys, they were just drunk and lying here!"
After saying that, La Lalini's clothes and quickly disappeared into the street with a few people.
After they left, the people around gathered around, looked at the drunken hooligans, spat at them, and then called the police.
When the sheriff arrived and saw several people lying unconscious on the ground, he was shocked and thought that a murder had occurred in the street.
After walking in, I found that several people were just drunk and unconscious, which made me very angry.
When we inquired about the situation with the businesses and people around us, we got all sorts of different information.
It's obvious that everyone is trying to pass themselves off as genuine.
After all, these guys haven't done anything good here over the years. The neighbors have long hated them and naturally won't give out any information that would be beneficial to them.
The sheriff was well aware of this and could only send someone to drag the "dead dogs" back to the police station.
After leaving here, Suika was admired by several people who were traveling with her.
If last night's fighting made everyone see how powerful Suika was, then today's move made the teenagers feel extremely relieved.
"Um, sister Suixiang, how much wine is in your gourd?" The second brother Trevor asked curiously.
"Want to drink?" Cuixiang was too familiar with the other party's eyes. This kind of eyes is the eyes of a gourmet seeing delicious food, a lustful man seeing a beautiful woman, and a drunkard seeing good wine. You can tell at a glance that this is a like-minded friend.
Suixiang looked at Trevor and didn't expect that her second brother who had acted so cold these days had such a hobby.
Hearing Suika's words, Trevor looked at his sister who was distracted by the surrounding shops, and nodded with a blushing face.
Suika took out a small cup from her pocket
"What kind of wine do you like?"
"It's all right, it's all right..." Staring at the wine glass in Suika's hand, Trevor nodded vigorously.
"Shaodaozi, this wine is quite strong, please be careful."
Suixiang poured out a glass of clear white wine and handed it over.
Trevor quickly took the glass and drank it all in one gulp because he was afraid of being discovered by his little sister.
As a result, his face turned red instantly, but his mouth was closed as if he was afraid of vomiting.
"I told you, this wine is strong...be careful."
Suixiang reached out and patted him on the back, and it took Trevor half a minute to recover.
"What a powerful wine! No wonder it's called Burning Knife. One sip feels like a long, burning knife slicing through your throat and into your stomach.
But it’s so cool!”
After his expression gradually relaxed, Trevor began to comment.
"Second brother, you're so dishonest. The three of us came out to play with our little sister, but you secretly came to drink with sister Suixiang..."
Just then Ford's voice came from the side.
"Brother Ford, would you like a drink?"
Trevor was so scared when he heard Ford's words that he almost dropped the wine glass. Fortunately, Suika was quick enough to grab the glass.
Then she raised her glass and shook it at the other person.
Chapter 485: Relationships Are Not Absolute
"I want it too, I want it too!"
At this moment, Lainie, who had been playing in the distance just now, suddenly got close to the group of people.
"No, why would a little brat drink alcohol!"
Before Suika could refuse, Ford, the eldest brother, rejected it outright.
"No, no, I want it!" As the apple of the family's eye, Lainie quickly became rebellious when she heard this. The more you don't let me taste it, the more I want it.
Just as Ford was about to carry Leni away, Suika stopped him.
"If little Leni wants to taste it, let her have it!"
"But..." Ford wanted to say something, but Suika held his shoulders.
"Children are very curious. If you don't let her try it, it will be troublesome if she tries it secretly when you are not paying attention and something goes wrong.
It’s better to do it in front of everyone, so that no matter what happens, we can at least solve it.”
Ford felt a little shaken after hearing what Suika said.
After all, he was not very old, so he naturally knew that what Suika said was true. He remembered that he was curious about what wine tasted like, so he stole his father's wine and ended up sleeping in the cellar for a day and a night.
After he came out, he learned that his parents had been looking for him outside for a day and a night.
In the end, he felt the mixed love from his parents all night long.
He still remembers that night vividly.
It would be better if I were a boy. My sister is so cute. If something really happened and she was taken away by someone with bad intentions...
Ford shuddered.
"Besides, this stuff isn't very tasty...especially for a child. She won't like it."
Children's sense of taste is very different from that of adults.
Many adults don't like stimulants like alcohol, let alone children.
The Shaodaozi wine poured by Cuixiang is the most extreme among all the wines.
She was sure that after Lainie took a sip, she would never be willing to touch alcohol again in her life.
After seeing Ford's agreement, Lainie happily drank a bottle cap's worth of wine under the sympathetic gazes of her three brothers.
The next second, her face changed, and then she vomited everything out and kept coughing.
Fortunately, Suika was well prepared and asked Terry, the third oldest child who was the youngest in age compared to Lainie, to buy a can of juice drink.
He handed the drink to his sister just as Lainie was about to burst into tears.
After she finished a whole bottle of drink and washed the alcohol out of her mouth, Lainie felt like she was coming back to life.
The sudden burst of spiciness from the liquor she just took made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
The wine that flowed down her throat into her esophagus made her deeply understand why this wine was called Shaodaozi.
She swore that she would never drink again in her life.
Seeing her horrified look at the alcohol, Suika knew her plan had succeeded.
After dealing with the issue with Lainie, the few of them prepared to go back through another street.
"By the way, will there be any trouble with what happened just now?"
Ford thought of the thugs who were knocked to the ground after being drunk.
"What trouble?
We didn't have a fight or a brawl. Those guys stole my wine jug and got drunk. I didn't call the police and report them for robbery. I've already done the most I could.
You have to know that although Shaodaozi is not an expensive liquor, it is not cheap either. What they drank is enough to commit robbery.
Besides, we're only staying for one day and leaving tomorrow. I estimate those guys will be drunk for at least a day or two. By then, we'll have already left. Even if they want to cause trouble, how can they find us? "
Suixiang smiled crookedly, as if the Dragon King had descended and had everything under control.
After hearing what Suika said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they all look big and strong, in fact, the oldest one, Ford, is only eighteen years old. He may be fearless when he is full of passion.
But after calming down, they will still become very timid and afraid of everything.
So after getting the assurance from Suixiang, everyone felt relieved.
After returning to the hotel, they told their father Matt about this incident as soon as possible.
Matt looked at Suika apologetically after hearing this.
There is only one place where the other party will know that Suika has money, and that is when eating.
When he took out the bag of money, it attracted the attention of people with bad intentions, which led to what happened afterwards.
Fortunately, Suixiang handled the situation very well.
There was no conflict with these hooligans.
So no matter whether there is a mastermind behind the other party or not, there is no way to continue to find fault with Suixiang through this incident under such circumstances.
It can be said that the choice Suika made was the best one at the time.
Thinking of this, Matt couldn't help but admire Suika, she was worthy of being a messenger of natural disasters.
He might not be able to make this kind of on-the-spot judgment.
As for the trivial matter of his little cotton-padded jacket drinking a sip of wine, he didn't care at all.
If he could really get Lainie to stop drinking alcohol from then on, it would be a good thing in his opinion.
However, in order to avoid trouble, the group left the hotel early the next day and drove directly out of the city.
After all, if other people knew about the bag of money, they might have spies in the hotel.
What if the other side is shameless and insists on keeping them here? Even though our group has done everything perfectly, being treated as such will always make people feel bad.
After leaving the town, everyone's mood improved again.
"Suixiang, what does your Rhodes Island do?
I seem to have heard this name before in the mining area."
In the car, Matt saw Suika sitting by the window, distracted by the scenery outside, so he found a topic to ask.
"Rhodes Island is an organization that specializes in researching how to better treat infected people.
We currently have the most effective blocking drug in all of Terra."
After Suika finished speaking, Matt suddenly realized
“Oh oh oh, I remember.
Old John said that they seemed to buy their medicine from your people.
The medicine you sell is good and cheap, but it seems to be quite difficult to buy it. Old John has always treated your medicine as a treasure in his bottom box. Unless it is a very critical situation, he is reluctant to use it.
Old John was the doctor at the last mine I worked at."
After Matt finished speaking, Suika was a little surprised. After all, although the infected people were not as frightening as the mysterious man, most people still avoided them.
Moreover, this family is not infected, but when they talk about the infected, they do not have the fear and disgust that ordinary people have.
Matt sighed after noticing Suika's surprise.
"You're wondering why I'm not afraid of the infected, right?
Those of us who work in the mines deal with source stone mines all day long, and we've seen too much of that stuff.
Take the last mine I worked at, for example. The infected people accounted for 40% of all the miners.
We all come out to make a living, and who knows, a coworker who was eating at the same table with you yesterday might end up in that state because of an accident..."
Chapter 486: Iron Carrot City
Having said this, Matt stopped, obviously no longer wanting to continue.
And Suika could understand.
