XX Fishing Village, right?"
The boss put the teacup on the table and then pretended to think. He tried hard to recall the specific address of XX Fishing Village. However, because there were many fishing villages nearby, the boss frowned slightly. It seemed that he could not remember it in a short time.
"I'm sorry, sir. I haven't come into contact with the fishermen of this XX fishing village, so I don't know its address.”The boss said apologetically. After thinking for so long, he still couldn't remember any information about XX Fishing Village.
"It's okay, Boss. I can ask the others nearby. In such a big town, there must be someone who knows the address.”
Batulu didn't get the information he wanted, but he wasn't discouraged. There was still plenty of time, and he would definitely find it in time.
However, in order to prevent the two foreign women from waiting for too long, Batulu felt that it was better to be quick, lest they were caught in an accident that could happen at any time.
"Boss, the clean clothes are here.”
At this moment, the waiter walked out of the changing room with a clean work uniform. There was no other way. The shop only had this kind of clothes. There was really no way to take out other clothes.
The boss took the clothes and handed them to Batulu, saying,""Sir, why don't you just put on some clothes so that you don't catch a cold?”
Batulu took the clothes and said gratefully,""Thank you, boss. To be honest, wearing wet clothes is really uncomfortable.”
Batulu wiped his hands with a tissue, then picked up his clothes and walked to the locker room to change out of his drenched admiral uniform.
Batulu took about five minutes to change his clothes. He used some time to wipe his body with a dry cloth to prevent his clothes from getting wet again.
After changing his clothes, Batulu walked out of the changing room with a bag in his hand. Inside was his admiral uniform.
Then, he looked out of the window. The rain was still pouring heavily. It seemed that it wouldn't stop anytime soon. He didn't know if it would flood the entire street. Batulu had looked at the situation of the street before. There were few drainage outlets near the street. It was difficult to drain water when it rained heavily. Moreover, there was no possibility of it being blocked by foreign objects.
"It's raining so heavily. Looks like we have to stay here for a while.”
Gu ~~~
At this time, Batulu's stomach was also hungry, and it let out a crisp cry. The growling of his stomach seemed to be contagious, and the other passersby who were sheltering from the rain also launched the " empty city tactic."
"Boss is collecting money. Looks like I'll have to eat here.”
"Me too, boss. How much is the buffet?”
"Boss, there's a buffet for five people, plus drinks!”
For a moment, the passersby who had taken shelter from the rain became guests. They all paid at the cashier. There was a buffet and all-you-can-drink service. Most of the people probably wanted a hot drink to warm themselves up because the temperature was starting to get cold.
"Boss, I want two servings too. I want to add a drink as well.”
The boss looked at Batulu in confusion and asked,""Sir, aren't you alone?”
"Boss, just focus on collecting the money. Don't ask so much.”
Batulu placed two hundred-yuan bills on the table. Although the boss had some questions, as the owner of the shop, he knew when to ask and when not to ask.
After the boss finished collecting the money, Batulu turned around and shouted at Counterattack, who was still standing by the window,""That lady over there, if you don't mind, let's eat together.”
“欸？Me?"
Counterattack was stunned for a moment, then he looked around and pointed at himself. He received Batulu's affirmative nod.
"When I entered the door, I smelled the fishy smell on you. Although it was a little faint, my sense of smell was still good, so I wanted to ask if you know XX Fishing Village.”Batulu explained.
"I see…"
Counterattack thought that it was some other reason, but it turned out that it was just because he had been in contact with fishing nets and other things for the past three days, and he had been stained with the fishy smell.
"Come and sit here. This place is close to the heater.”
Batulu waved his hand, signaling for Counterattack to come over. Counterattack didn't sense any malice from Batulu, so he walked to Batulu's seat, put the basket aside, and slowly sat down on the chair without losing his manners.
"Eh? Could it really be a ship lady? Judging from her table manners, it couldn't be one of the English or French ones, right?”
Batulu could roughly guess the nationality of the counterattack from a simple action. It was probably because he had the English ship Rodney among his crew. After a few days of living, he roughly understood most of the etiquette habits of European women.
"That…Sir, is there something on my face?”
Retaliation noticed that Batulu was staring at her. Although she was a warship maiden who had fought on the battlefield, it was inevitable that she would feel shy and flustered when being stared at by an unfamiliar " male ".
"Oh, sorry! Miss, your eyes are very special. They're bi-colored. Are you a foreigner?”Batulu had already guessed her identity, but he was still uncertain. He wanted to use the conversation to get her to see if she was one of the people he was looking for.
" Eyes…"
Counterattack was very clear about the uniqueness of her eyes. Just like her sister, they had rare, dual-colored eyes. It was also because of this that she had been ridiculed by many noble children, young ladies, and even similar ship girls at the Royal Academy of England.
Now that someone had lifted his eyes, he showed a hint of frustration on his face and gently bit his lower lip.
"I'm sorry, I was rude! I'm really sorry!" Batulu could tell that she wasn't in a good mood. It seemed that she didn't like people mentioning her eyes, and it was indeed impolite for him to stare at people like this. Therefore, Batulu apologized very straightforwardly.
"It's nothing…I wonder what you want to ask, sir?”Counterattack waved his hand, and his face returned to calmness. He smiled casually and asked,
"Miss, do you know where XX Fishing Village is? I asked the boss before, and he said he didn't know. Then, Miss, you have a hint of fish smell on you, so I wanted to ask you.”
Instead of answering directly, he asked,""Sir, are you so sure that there are many fish in my place? Aren't you afraid that the smell on my body is from the fish market?”
Batulu smiled, as if he had already guessed that the counterattack would say this, so he said," It's very simple. If it's fish from the fish market, most of them have the taste of soil. However, fish from the sea are different. Those fish have the taste of sea salt, although it's not very obvious. But because I lived in Africa, my sense of smell was especially good.”Batulu touched his nose proudly.
" Sir, are you African?!" Counterattack called out in surprise, but his voice was not very loud.
Batulu didn't say it explicitly. He just nodded his head as an answer.
" I didn't expect this…"
She had thought that the admiral in front of her was just a tanned native. Who knew that he was actually a naval general who had traveled thousands of miles from Africa to China to take up his post? This was something she had never expected.
"Hehe, because I used to like the culture of China very much. Although I was a little reluctant to part with everyone in the tribe, I always looked forward to coming here. That's why I came to China in a special opportunity.”Batulu couldn't even remember how many times he had said this, but he couldn't do anything about it. I was from China in my previous life, and then I transmigrated here, but I didn't want to hunt in Africa, so I chose to return to China!
No one would believe him even if he said it. What was worse was that if he was treated as a lunatic, his life would be ruined.
"Sir is really amazing. He dares to…"
"I came with a ship girl, a ship girl who has been with me for a year.”
Counterattack's eyes widened a little. He did not expect that there would be a ship lady in a cursed place like Africa. However, they should be ordinary ships and probably not many powerful ship ladies.
He was right about counterattacking. Africa did not have a single warship that had left its name in history. There were only some ordinary warship ladies who had served as cannon fodder during World War II. Their combat power was 30% weaker than ordinary historical warships... and this was the data of the initial warship.
"Sir, did you just ask me where XX Fishing Village is?”
"That's right!"
"I am a resident there, but only temporarily.”
Batulu was secretly delighted. It seemed that he had hit the jackpot today. He had completed his mission after being drenched in the rain. The next step was to basically understand their situation.
"Then…can you show me the way? I have something to do.”Batulu picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea leaves were brewed just right. How could such a good shop not have people coming? However, after this time, there would definitely be many people who would come after hearing the news.
After all, the guests here today were good publicity. It would not be long before they would attract many people.
"Sir, what is it?" He tried to ask out of the most basic vigilance.
Batulu put down his teacup and took out a well-protected envelope from his bag. He then took out a letter and handed it to Counterattack.
He looked at the envelope and found it familiar. After taking it, he looked at it briefly.
"It's a letter sent by the old village chief. Could it be that he's here to pick us up?”Fought back was delighted, as if he had seen hope of returning to his country. All that was left was to bring this officer to the fishing village. In that case, his brother's limbs should be saved.
(The setting of this book is that as long as the ship lady is not dead, even if her arms or legs are broken, or if her organs are missing, it can be solved as long as she enters the canal.) It would be written later that because of this reason, a large number of feces were extracted.）
"Do you understand now?" Batulu smiled.
" Yes, I'm happy to lead the way. We can finally return to our country…" The counterattack seemed to be relieved. The burden in his heart had disappeared without a trace.
"Are you one of the foreign women mentioned in the letter?”
Batulu quickly took out a notebook and a fountain pen and asked a few questions.
" Name…nationality…identity…purpose of coming here…and…"
