Reunion

"Sir, here we are, this is Bangor Harbor." Old Kim drove the carriage and stopped in front of the Green Vine Hotel.

  Lin En opened the curtain and looked out from the window of the carriage at the gravel main road, the small three- or four-story buildings on both sides of the road, and the ruddy, neatly dressed pedestrians on the street.

  This is Bangor Harbor, which is really different from the town in my hometown.

  The small town in my hometown is still a dirt road, and it is easy to stain the trouser's legs every rainy day.

  But it may be because of the harbor, and winter is approaching, many pedestrians on the road are wearing thick coats and scarves around their necks.

  Although there is still a big gap between the big city in memory, in this era, referring to the scenery seen along the way, this Bangor Harbor has already surprised him.

   "Sir, the rest." Old Kim stammered.

  Lynn settled the remaining money that had been prepared for Old Kim.

  Old Kim took the money and thanked him again and again.

   "Sir, do you need to go somewhere, I can give you a ride."

  Old Kim said,

   Along the way, although they are walking during the day and resting at night, the horse is still very tired and needs to rest here for two days.

  So he will not leave Bangor Harbor for the time being, and some things here are cheaper than in his hometown, so he also wants to buy something for his family to take back.

  Lin En looked at the teacher, while Angelet just lowered his head, looking at the magic book to himself.

  Through this period of contact, Lin En roughly understood what the teacher meant.

   "If you want to find someone, do you have any connections?" Lynn asked.

   "The hotel owner should know," said old Kim.

  Like hotel owners, they are generally related to the three religions, so it is no problem to find the hotel owner.

   Contact the hotel owner through Old Kim.

  The hotel owner looked at Lynn's clothes.

   He doesn't look like a rich man, nor does he look like an aristocrat, but to be able to rent a carriage so far, he probably has some family background.

  Thinking of this, the hotel owner said, "Big Gold Fang at the pier, he has a lot of leather gloves under his hands, and he knows the news better than ordinary people."

   "But finding someone is not for nothing. If you want to find a big gold tooth, you have to be prepared to be slaughtered." The hotel owner asked, "Are you sure you want me to contact you?"

  Lynn said: "Then trouble the boss."

  Lin En knew that as a hotel owner, he would definitely have a share in such a thing, which is the so-called intermediary fee, and this part would be included in the remuneration he gave to Da Jinya.

  The hotel owner greeted the bodyguard behind him and asked him to bring someone over.

   Not long after, a drunken alcoholic was brought up. The hotel owner nodded slightly, then turned and left with the bodyguards.

  The alcoholic stinks, and his hair hasn't been washed for some time.

   "Five silver coins." The drunk spread out five fingers, "give me five silver coins and I will take you to see my boss."

  Lin En took out five silver coins and handed them to the alcoholic without changing his face.

  The drunkard took the silver coin, bit it with his scorched teeth, and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff.

  Finally satisfied, he hid the silver coin in the pants behind his buttocks.

"Come with me."

  The old alcoholic took Lynn downstairs and came out through the side door of the hotel.

   Lynn frowned, "Wait a minute."

   The drunkard stopped.

  Lin En said: "You wait for me here for a while, I still have a companion."

  Lin En returned to the front door of the hotel, only to find that the carriage was empty.

  The teacher is gone.

  How can such a big man walk around obediently? Lin En expressed helplessness.

  Lin En asked old Kim if he had seen any sign of Angelet.

  Old Kim hurriedly shook his head, and said with some fear: "I just found that there was no one in the carriage when I got down."

  Lin En went to ask the hotel owner again, but they all said that they had not seen the teacher.

  Lin En was silent, but the teacher is such a big person, he will never get lost.

  Although the teacher looks very thin, he doesn't have to worry about his safety. What he should worry about is the person who tries to misbehave with the teacher.

   It is estimated that the teacher wants me to finish the matter.

   After all, when I told the teacher just now that I wanted to find my family, the teacher did not object.

   Lynn then returns to the side door.

  The drunkard led the way, and the drunkard circled around in front of him. Lynn had his hands in his pockets and his eyes were peaceful.

  He could sense that two iron earthworms were following him right under his feet.

  During the rest of last night, Lynn asked Tie Chu to go on the road overnight and advanced a certain distance from the soil in the direction he was going today, so the two could keep up with the progress.

   Now it really played a role. In this era of law and order chaos, Lynn never believed in and overestimated the morals of others.

  It is not impossible for the transaction object at the previous moment to become the object of a robbery at the next moment.

  Across the street, seagulls hover in the sky.

   On the endless blue coastline, large ships are docked at the pier.

  Wharf laborers in t-shirts unload the goods on the ship or load the goods on the dock to the ship, and the two sides of the canal are very lively.

Tourists with bright clothes and exotic styles get off the ship and stroll in the buildings near the sea. The whitewashed walls face the sea, and the eaves are decorated with conch shells and mermaid statues. The fragrance is wafting. Bars, restaurants, There are also some local specialty food shops in the bakery.

  beep—

Accompanied by the sound of the melodious whistle, on the sea, a steamship with black smoke from its chimney slowly docked on the shore. Some people wearing lace hats poked their heads out from the side of the ship, and hanging from their shoulders was Purple-black long hair.

  On the pier, many teenagers and girls wearing hats quickly greeted them, holding flowers or some exquisite shells in their hands.

"This is the steel ship of the Fisher Empire. Those brats are a group of outcasts, and they earn more than me for leading the way." The drunkard said enviously, and then he tilted his head and spit on the ground, "The Fisher Empire Those purple-haired ghosts are rich."

"This is the new wharf. Even the coolies who move things here are from noble families. These shops near the wharf are monopolized by the powerful nobles in the port. The daily income of these shops is enough for me. I've been drinking for a year." The old alcoholic said enviously, smacking his mouth.

   "The big golden tooth is here?" Lin En was a little surprised. If this is the case, then the power behind the big gold tooth is probably not low, and Lin En felt that he should consider the next operation.

   "The new dock is full of foreign ships. Our boss is in the old dock, and the old dock is full of old merchant ships, basically in the kingdom." The old drunkard took Lynn through the streets of the new port.

   Walked a distance towards the new pier. After walking for less than half an hour, the surrounding roads were relatively damaged, and even pedestrians began to decrease.

  But soon, the people around gradually became denser again.

  However, the spirit of the residents here is obviously not as high as that of the New Port, and even the surrounding buildings are more full of the vicissitudes of history.

  If it is a new dock, it is new, and here it is old.

   Residential houses of different heights are located in this area, and a drainage pit was dug in front of the houses. Lynn saw a woman carrying a basin and pouring the water into the drainage pit. On the coastline in the distance, there are cargo boxes piled up on a wide pier space, and the dock workers are carrying the cargo boxes and shouting hard.

  The people here are very busy, a few dark-skinned little boys wearing only underwear ran out from the alley next to them, chasing after each other, and then ran far away with their buttocks naked.

   "Here, this is the old pier." The old drunkard nodded, and then led Lin En into the alley next to him. "By the way, don't be called Da Jinya later, the boss's name is Ampton."

   Not long after, the old drunkard led Lynn to stop in front of a house that was indistinguishable from other surrounding buildings.

   Leaning on the wall next to the entrance of the private house were two dark-skinned men with tattoos on their arms.

  There were faint noises coming from the room.

   "Look for Big Gold Teeth." The old drunkard said.

  The two men looked Lin En up and down, and when they saw a young and fair Hina, they waved their hands to signal to enter.

"big big big!"

   "Small! Small! Small!"

  In the room, many burly men gathered around a table, shaking dice on the table, and there were piles of copper coins beside it.

"Your name is Hamilton, right? I heard from Jeffs that you are short of money. I can lend you a sum of money first, but it depends on whether you listen." In the room on the second floor, the window was open, On the sofa, a stout man with a hat and a thin beard said to Hamilton.

  Hamilton was silent. Yesterday the doctor said that it is best to move to a place that is not so humid. Otherwise, even if his wife's disease is cured in that place, it will be the root cause of the disease. It is best to change to another place.

  But one side is the money to support the family, the other side is to treat the disease, change the place for the family to live, and spend money to inquire about Ava. The heavy pressure made him overwhelmed.

  Yesterday, he originally wanted to trouble those two hooligans. Perhaps the two hooligans were also worried about encountering the enraged Hamilton—this strong man over 1.9 meters tall, so he didn't go home all night.

  When he came to work at the pier today, one of the unloaders who moved things with him during this period of time saw that he was in a bad mood. After chatting and learning that he was short of money, he introduced him to the big gold tooth Ampton of the pier.

  He had heard of Hampton and knew that some privately called him the Dock Rat.

  This vibrant seaport city is full of sunshine and darkness.

  Da Jinya is doing some shady business in private. Of course, there are several people like Da Jinya in the area of ​​the pier.

  In the past, he always stayed away from him. If it wasn't for lack of money, the man would not give up his bottom line.

   And I heard that the big gold tooth is very well-informed, and he also has the purpose of finding Ava through him.

   "I can help you with things," Hamilton said after a moment of silence.

   "Hahaha." Da Jinya took a puff of his cigar.

  Boom boom boom.

   There was a knock on the door.

  A younger brother walked in and whispered in Big Gold Fang's ear.

  Big Gold Teeth smiled, "The drunkard brought a little fat sheep, let's go to Hamilton and have a look."

   Post it first and go to bed, wake up tomorrow morning to check for typos.
