Chapter 48 Brother
If it was someone else who said this, the iron slag would most likely draw a knife and chop it down, but if it came out of Lena Euclid’s mouth, he would think about it carefully …
However, although he did not have a macho complex, he could not do anything that relied on the help of women to change his fate.
Looking at the hesitation in the iron slag, Lena raised her voice and pretended to say, “Yo ~ I’m still tangling with the little man’s complex ~”
“No…” “What does that mean? Do you feel like you can’t accept the help of a woman?” “Yes.”
‘”So …” Lena’s expression changed as she asked angrily, “Isn’t elder sister a woman?”
“It’s a woman …” “So you’ve never treated your sister like a woman!” Lena became even angrier.
Facing Lena’s unreasonable actions, Tie Zha could not bear it. Rabbits would bite when they were forced into a hurry, not to mention a wild wolf. As a result, the wolf gritted its teeth and pounced forward! The originally aggressive lioness instantly became her prey, biting her teeth and retreating, leaving only a breath of subdued breathing left …
Of course, the wolves in the grasslands definitely didn’t dare to provoke the lioness. After all, the lion’s size and strength were much greater than the wolves’. However, the situation was different in Tieshan Town’s Autonomous Police Chief’s office. Now that the lioness had lost all her strength, she could only let the hungry wolf rip open her belly and drink blood and eat meat …
Half an hour later …
Tie Zha comfortably pushed the brand-new Harley 5 down the stairs. Ye Xinling, who was waiting in the office hall, greeted him. When she saw the motorcycle beside Tie Zha, her eyes widened and she looked at it over and over again. Finally, she cried out, “Immortal Battle Eagle, Master, is this an Immortal Battle Eagle?”
“You know this too?” Iron slag asked.
Ye Xinling wrinkled her nose and snorted, “Xin Ling is not a little girl who doesn’t know anything.”
“So … you’re a brat who knows everything?” Tie Zha teased her happily.
“Master, what do you think Xin Ling is? Xin Ling is what she is.” Ye Xinling said obediently.
Tie Zha did not answer. He then pushed Halley 5 to the entrance of the Autonomous Council and tried the engine car. The moment the accelerator was twisted open, an ear-piercing rumble sounded from the engine. Then, a powerful airflow sprayed out from the bottom of the body! The dust and paper scraps around him were blown into the air. Immediately after, Harley 5 slowly left the ground and finally floated at a height of 30 centimeters.
Amidst the dust, the Halley 5’s body still reflected a dazzling glow, like a bright lamp in the darkness. Whether it was appearance, voice, or temperament, they all emitted a domineering aura that was as calm as a mountain.
“Wow, so powerful!” Ye Xinling covered her mouth and avoided the dust while exclaiming in admiration. Then she saw Tie Zha close his lips and stride onto the motorcycle. At this time, she saw an unforgettable scene.
The tyrannical car, the heroic youth, it was as if they were all born for each other. It was like an inherited treasured sword. Only by grasping it in the hands of a hero would it be able to emit true brilliance. Right at this moment, the youth in the picture stretched out his hand towards her, but she responded infatuatedly, as if everything in front of her was unreal …
In the next moment, Halley Five sped away from Tieshan Town amidst the rumbling sound.
Ten minutes later …
Tie Zha drove his new car into Old Cow’s repair shop. He stopped the car and learned the sound of an animal’s cry, “Moo … Moo …”
A few seconds later, Old Niu rushed out of the tin shed. He pointed at the iron slag and shouted excitedly, “Iron slag! When you left, you forgot to leave the money for the winter! There are no food and vegetables, and the fuel and coal merchants are leaving soon! Hurry up and give me the money! Otherwise, this winter won’t pass!”
Tie Zha scratched his hair, took out the money bag from the canvas bag of the motorcycle, and threw it to Old Niu, saying, “There are more than a hundred gold in it, enough to buy the materials for winter.”
Old Niu took the money bag and didn’t speak to Tie Zha. He turned around and ran out of the repair shop, heading towards Tieshan Town.
“Brother Niu, why don’t you drive there?” Ye Xinling asked.
“He forgot.” Tie Zha grinned.
Half an hour later, Old Niu brought two rear eight-wheeled trucks and a tank truck back to the repair shop. One truck was full of coal and the other was full of winter food and vegetables. The food was mainly rice, wheat and potatoes, while the vegetables were all cabbages and radishes. Because in winter, only these two vegetables are best kept.
The old cow dug a cellar at the bottom of the tin shed to store food for the winter. Tie Zha basically wouldn’t do this. Every winter, he would come to Old Niu’s house to eat. However, Old Niu’s cooking skills were very ordinary. He could only say that he was full, but there was no way to eat delicious food.
Next, the old bull put a large pile of food and vegetables into the cellar. After arranging everything properly, he cooperated with the fuel merchant to push the empty tin oil tanks from the warehouse to the side of the tank truck. After filling up the tank truck with fuel, he used a cart to transport them back to the warehouse. After getting the food and fuel, Old Niu cooperated with the owner of the coal to pour a cart of coal into the open space of the repair shop …
At the same time, Tie Zha found a beach chair to sit on the side and watched Old Niu hurriedly unload the cargo. As Ye Xinling massaged him, she asked, “Master, why did you not help Brother Niu when he was busy?”
Tie Zha frowned and said, “I’ll go help him, but he has an objection. I’m sitting here, but he’s very happy.”
“Why?” “Why are there so many?” “Who doesn’t need help? Master, you’re being lazy.”
“How about this, you go and try.” After saying that, Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and fell asleep, ignoring Ye Xinling.
Ye Xinling came to Old Niu and strangled her hair. Then, she smiled and asked, “Brother Niu, is there anything I can ask Xin Ling to help with? It’s too hard for you to work alone.”
“Go, go, go. Don’t cause trouble for those who can’t do anything.” “But, Xin Ling …”
“Let’s go” The old bull waved his hand impatiently, and his movements were like chasing flies away.
Ye Xinling stomped her foot hard and said, “Brother Niu, don’t look at Xin Ling as a woman, she is no worse than a man.”
The old bull frowned and pointed at Tie Zha on the beach chair. “Sister, you’re just like him. Just watch from the side. Don’t mess around. I won’t break anything myself. Quickly go …” The old bull was a little excited as he spoke. His two big nostrils spat out air, making him look like a stubborn bull.
Helplessly, Ye Xinling could only return to Tie Zha’s side and shout, “Brother Niu is such a weird person. He still doesn’t appreciate others wanting to help him.”
Tie Zha grinned and said, “We have known each other for many years. He is like this. He always feels that others will mess up his things.”
“I definitely won’t be able to marry a wife in the future.” Ye Xinling whispered.
“Why do you want a wife?”
“Able … Able … Able!” Ye Xinling replied with a red face.
“However, it’s fine if you don’t marry.” Iron slag seemed to want to ask him to the end. After all, at his age, he had no idea how to get married or marry a wife.
“Alright, please give Master Xin Ling a lesson about marriage and marrying a wife.”
“Speak.” Although Tie Zha’s tone was somewhat casual, he was still quite interested in this knowledge that he did not understand.
“In a person’s life, there will always be someone who understands each other …”
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded and asked, “Does Old Niu and I count?”
“Not really … between a man and a woman.” “Can’t men understand each other?” “Uh …” Ye Xinling was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a while, she said, “Men can’t have sex with men.” As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Xinling felt that her words were a little inappropriate. After all, in Sand City, she had seen a lot of messy things in the past.
“Do we have to have sex?” Iron slag asked. Ye Xinling nodded. Fortunately, Tie Zha didn’t know much, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to answer.
“Tieshan Town has a lot of silver coins to have sex with …”
“That doesn’t count!” Ye Xinling cried out involuntarily. Because she was a little anxious, she unconsciously accentuated her tone. Then, she woke up from her shock and felt a little disrespectful towards her master’s tone. Thus, she hurriedly explained, “Master, Xin Ling … Xin Ling didn’t mean that.”
“Does it count or not?” Iron slag asked.
It was when Ye Xinling was confused that Old Niu sent away a few merchants. Then, he took out the tools to make honeycomb briquettes from the warehouse, connected the pipes to wet the coal pile, and then mixed the coal and water evenly with a shovel.
After making preparations, the old bull picked up the impressor and poured wet coal into it. Then, he printed out short cylindrical pieces of coal with honeycomb holes and placed them on the open space to dry. In about two weeks, the briquettes will be ready for use.
An hour later …
The old bull wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at the neat rows of honeycomb briquettes. His heart was filled with emotions and he remembered many things from the past. A few years ago, when he and Tie Zha weren’t friends, they used to rob each other in the same dump. Tie Zha was agile, fast, and quick to react, but he didn’t know what was valuable. Old Niu knew machinery and what parts were valuable, but his skill was too slow. They were all orphans, and they were all people who didn’t know what to eat next, so they didn’t have any feelings for each other. As long as it was something valuable, they would fight to the end.
But they follow the same rule-first come, first served.
No matter how valuable something was, it could not be snatched away by others.
They just snatched the garbage in the same area. Gradually, the two of them became familiar with each other …
Perhaps it was because they were of the same age, perhaps it was because they were both orphans, or perhaps it was because of the same goodwill. Sometimes, the old bull would play with valuable parts in front of the iron slag, letting him learn what was valuable, and the iron slag would deliberately not see anything valuable, letting the old bull pick it up behind him.
Even so, the two of them still hadn’t communicated …
Until one day, an unruly adult steals from a garbage dump. Old Niu and Tie Zha berated each other in righteous indignation at the same time. As a result, a large group of people came over and taught them a hard lesson.
In a few days, the iron slag came to look for Old Niu …
Until today, Old Niu could still clearly remember the first thing Tie Zha said. He said,
“Brother, let’s go steal other people’s things together in the future!”
