The little female soldier who was desperate to find her family became a national hero

The disabled old man smiled again, showing his big yellow teeth. Then he raised the glass of wine and poured it into his mouth. He swallowed it with a gulp, and then burped with satisfaction.

Seeing Shen Yiyi staring at him expectantly, he smacked his lips and asked:

"I heard from the snakehead that you are a tree armor modification engineer? That's strange. There are so many ways to go to Hongluo Island in Riyuan Country, but you didn't choose any of them. Why did you choose to board our ship? Are you really a thorn in the sea patrol team?"

Shen Yiyi spit inwardly, thinking: "Do you think I am willing to board your smuggling ship? It was Takeda Nagayoshi who forced me to do so. Besides, other ways to enter the country of Riyuan have to go through a third country, which will take three or four months. By then, we won't even know whether Talkoko is dead or alive."

But she just smiled and explained, "Something urgent happened at home and I had to rush back, but unfortunately there is a war going on right now, so I have no choice but to go. I heard from a friend that although the conditions of the smuggling ship are a little worse, it is faster and it is safer than usual at this time."

The disabled old man picked up his artificial leg and threw it on the table. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be his parasitic vine.

The old man poured another cup in front of him, but did not drink it. Instead, he pushed it in front of his leg.

The parasitic vine that transformed into a leg was not polite either. It directly inserted one of its roots into the wine glass. The surface of the liquid was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing Shen Yiyi's surprised expression, the old man didn't take it seriously. Instead, he explained to her in a serious tone:

"You are such a fool! Why do you want to take a smuggling ship with you? Why do you want to take such a cool sports car on board?"

As he spoke, his eyes revealed a hint of gloating, as if he was mocking Shen Yiyi for being a stupid, rich, and straw bag.

Miss Shen seemed to understand something when she heard this, and asked with an unnatural expression, "Didn't anyone else bring a car or a tree armor on board?"

The old man bared his yellow teeth and said with a smile, "There are people who bring cars and tree armor, but no one dares to bring such an expensive car. This is his grandma's latest limited edition this year! You are quite capable, little chicken. Do you know how much this car can be sold for in the Sun Yuan Country? Don't mention those idiots who are looking for trouble with you. Even I want to get your money."

After hearing this, Shen Yiyi finally understood why she had not been treated well since she got on the boat.

It turned out that it was not only because of the power struggle on the ship, but also because he had revealed his wealth.

But before she set off, she just flipped a page in the album and saw that this "Benma" sports car was particularly handsome, so she changed the "exiled immortal" into that look. How could she know that this car was so expensive? This is really an unexpected disaster!

I don’t know if anyone would go into the warehouse to steal the parts of the “Exiled Immortal”, but fortunately, Shen Teng is now staying on the “Exiled Immortal”.

If there really was someone who wanted to do something with it, Shen Teng would have already planted grass on his grave by now.

Thinking of this, Shen Yiyi pretended to tremble all over and said to the disabled old man: "Hey, this, this, I don't know the rules on our ship, old senior, I will definitely not cause any trouble to everyone by bringing this car."

The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Hey, what trouble are you talking about? I can just tie you up and throw you into the sea, and there will be no trouble at all."

At this moment, Shen Yiyi looked like she was about to cry out of fear, her voice trembling:

"Uncle, you are my grandpa! Please don't scare me, I am really timid. Isn't this a smuggling ship? It is said that smuggling ships don't do the work of pirates. Otherwise, you can put me down on the ship at the next port, and I won't ride it, right?"

The old guy sipped his wine slowly, one sip after another, and ignored Shen Yiyi's whispered pleas.

Listening to the thin young man Qin Xinghe, who she played, begging non-stop and looking frightened, the old man finally acted as if he couldn't bear it and said to Shen Yiyi:

"Since you treated me, an old fellow, to a bottle of wine today, I will show you the way. I, Hong Liugong, have some prestige on this ship. On this ship, no matter which forces they are, they have to give us boiler operators some face. You know, without us boiler operators, this ship can only drift on the sea."

As he spoke, the old man's hunched body gradually straightened up, and he looked more imposing.

"I thought, since you are a mechanical engineer, why don't you just move to our power deck and help us out when you have nothing to do. I will talk to the captain and tell her that the power room is short-handed. She will definitely agree. Then, if you work for this ship, the other brothers will have nothing to complain about."

At this point, the old man's voice suddenly lowered a few notes: "But you still have to pay some protection money to our brothers in the power system. After all, everyone is taking risks, right?"

After saying this, the old guy's cloudy eyes almost narrowed into a straight line, and the leg that had been lying next to him drinking wine stretched out a tentacle very skillfully and spread it in front of Shen Yiyi, as if waiting for her to pay protection fees.

After hearing this, Shen Yiyi suddenly understood. She thought to herself:

"This old man is really a cunning old man, and his tricks are really deep! He first scares people half to death with a few words, making the smugglers suspicious and think that everyone around them is trying to harm him. Then he takes the opportunity to drag people into his power room to work as coolies, and at the same time he can collect a lot of protection money. He really takes both people and money! It's really evil!"

Although she thought so in her heart, her face showed a painful expression. She took out a palm-sized wooden stick from the pocket of her closest clothes.

Don't underestimate this inconspicuous thing. It is equivalent to the credit card that Shen Yiyi used in her previous life on Earth. The amount of energy charged in it represents the strength of purchasing power. It is also easy to carry and supports transfers.

Shen Yiyi handed the small wooden stick to the old man who was blackmailing her with shaking hands, and muttered, "Master Hong, how much do you want for the protection fee? I...I really don't have much money left."

The old man Hong Liugong pushed back the "money stick" that Shen Yiyi had taken out. He lowered his voice and explained:

"If you use this thing, we can't trade here. You look so pitiful, it's embarrassing. Don't worry, I'm a well-known good man, I won't charge you too much. Come, have a drink!"
