Chapter 1387 The Widow
1387
"Boss, give us two more cups of Mugel!" Luo Juan shouted.
"Okay!" The boss nodded, then put two large glasses of beer in front of Xu Taiping and Luo Juan.
"Is this called Mugel?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.
"Well, this is our specialty beer in Sinia, it's very delicious, right?" Luo Juan asked.
"Yeah!" Xu Taiping nodded and said, "The beer tastes very much like red beer, but the fruity aroma is stronger."
"Yes, because we are close to the tropical area and have abundant fruits, we added a lot of fruits when brewing Mugel, so the beer tastes so good!" Luo Juan said, and took a big sip of the pineapple cup.
"By the way, your hand is okay, right?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It's okay." Luo Juan shook her head.
"Show me." Xu Taiping said.
"It's really okay. For sailors, this level of collision is nothing at all." Luo Juan said with a smile.
Xu Taiping frowned and pulled Luo Juan's hand under the table without saying a word.
Luo Juan's fist was clenched, allowing Xu Taiping to see her palm.
"I'll show you how powerful I was just now!" Xu Taiping said.
"I told you that it's okay." Luo Juan said, and retracted her hand.
Although Xu Taiping was not very strong, he still pressed Luo Juan's hand tightly. Finally, Luo Juan gave up struggling helplessly. She opened her palm and said, "Look."
Xu Taiping glanced at Luo Juan's palm, and the palm was red, but it was not broken. It seemed that it was just some collision injuries.
In addition to this collision injury, Xu Taiping was surprised to find that Luo Juan's hand actually had a few calluses.
Almost every finger has calluses.
For a woman, her hands are also part of her appearance. For example, Xia Jinxuan and Song Jialing, their hands are white and tender, as weak and boneless. Even Su Nianci, who exercises frequently, has delicate flesh. Luo Juan's hands are the roughest in the hands of women Xu Taiping has ever seen, and there are calluses, which seriously affects the beauty. However, for Xu Taiping, these hands are not real.
This is proof that a widow strives to support herself.
"Wipe with coconut oil when you go back to reduce the swelling!" Xu Taiping said.
"I know this." Luo Juan shrank her hand back with some discomfort, then picked up the wine glass and said, "Drink a drink."
"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, picked up the wine glass and touched Luo Juan, and then asked, "Where are the others? Have they all unloaded the goods?"
"They went to fool around, to find the women you just met, or to some more fun bars." Luo Juan said.
"A better bar?" Xu Taiping looked at Luo Juan in confusion.
"They said it was a business place, a place where women could play. Men are like this." Luo Juan said.
"Then why didn't you take me to the business ground for dinner just now?" Xu Taiping asked.
"There is no food there, and I don't know you are that kind of person." Luo Juan said.
"That kind of person? Who am I?" Xu Taiping asked.
"You know, what business you were talking about with the street girl just now, have you forgotten? I found that although you have lost your memory, you have never forgotten some things of your nature!" Luo Juan said.
"This..." Xu Taiping scratched his head awkwardly, then picked up the wine glass and said, "Drink!"
"Haha, OK!" Luo Juan smiled and started drinking with Xu Taiping.
After a big glass of beer was eaten, Luo Juan stood up and went to pay the order first, then walked to Xu Taiping and said, "Let's go, take you to the hospital."
"Are you far away from this?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Not far, walk for twenty minutes. Let's go. If it's too late, the doctor will be gone!" Luo Juan said.
"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, then walked out of the bar with Luo Juan.
The two of them just arrived at the bar and met a group of people.
There are five people in total in this group, one of them is Jackson who was defeated by Xu Taiping and almost killed by Xu Taiping.
Jackson followed a strong man with a height of about 1.7 meters. Seeing Xu Taiping and Luo Juan walk out of the bar, Jackson excitedly pointed at Xu Taiping and shouted, "Captain, this guy beat me just now!"
The man who Jackson called the captain looked at Xu Taiping with a dark face and said, "You hit me?"
"Lucio, Jackson made my rumors in the bar, but my crew heard it. I warned him, and he hit my crew first, and then my crew fought back!" Luo Juan explained.
"Spreading rumors? What a mess? Are you, Luo Juan, a widow, still afraid of spreading rumors? Look at Jackson's head, it's almost rotten here, do you know? We are going to go out to sea tomorrow. Jackson is the guide of our ship. His head hurts now and he is dizzy. If we can't go out to sea tomorrow, you have to take responsibility!" The captain named Lucio said with a frown.
"Yes, I'm dizzy now, so dizzy!" Jackson said in cooperation with his head covering.
"Then what do you want?" Luo Juan asked with a frown.
"It's not so good. Let you, the crew member, kneel down to apologize to Jackson, and then you can stay with me for one night!" Lucio said with a joke.
As soon as his laughter fell, Luo Juan's high kick had already reached Lucio's chin.
Luo Juan kicked her so hard that she was very powerful, and it was very sudden. Lucio didn't have time to react at all. She was kicked by Luo Juan on her chin. She flew half a meter high and then fell heavily to the ground.
"I don't like others to joke about me." Luo Juan looked at Lucio, who was lying on the ground and covered her mouth and screaming, and said, "Everyone is on the boat, put her mouth cleaner."
After saying that, Luo Juan turned around and walked to the side.
Lucio's crew members watched the whole process, but none of them dared to attack Luo Juan.
"Are you so powerful?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise as he walked.
"A widow like me is not a little more powerful and cannot get out of the sea." Luo Juan said.
Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment. Luo Juan's words seemed to be boasting, but all he heard from Luo Juan's tone was loneliness and helplessness.
"When did your husband go to the sea and disappeared?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Five years ago." Luo Juan said.
"He just disappeared from the sea and was not dead. How could you call yourself a widow?" Xu Taiping said.
"Falling in the sea and missing is basically equivalent to death. Moreover, when he lands in the sea, it was the time when the storm was the strongest. There were no islands around him, and he did not wear a life jacket, and there was only a way out of death." Luo Juan said.
"Don't be so pessimistic, be more optimistic. I may not be sure that he will suddenly appear one day!" Xu Taiping said.
"I spent a year with this idea, and finally I still understood that he couldn't come back." Luo Juan shook her head, then smiled and said, "But that's all in the past. Now I'm living a good life and I've made a lot of money. I plan to do it for a few more years, then sell the boat and take my daughter to buy a small island life."
"Do you still have a daughter?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.
"Well, my daughter is already seventeen years old." Luo Juan said.
"Your daughter is seventeen years old? How old are you?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I am thirty-six years old." Luo Juan said.
"You can't tell at all!" Xu Taiping said seriously, "You look at it at most in your early thirties!"
"In my early thirties? How could it be that I am so dark?" Luo Juan shook her head with a smile and said, "We all in Sinia are black, and my daughter is also black, just like me. In our Sinia, white is rare, so it is also very precious. Fortunately, although my daughter is black, she is very beautiful, and she will not have to worry about not getting married in the future!"
"Can you buy and sell the islands here at will?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Of course, there are thousands of islands around us, and our country has few people. In order to attract foreign investment, the country puts all the thousands of islands around us on the shelves. It can be bought with money, but it is very expensive. Buying a small island is hundreds of square meters, which costs several million, is enough to buy several houses in our capital, so no one is willing to buy them, except for the rich people from abroad." Luo Juan said.
"So that's it!" Xu Taiping nodded.
The two of them walked towards the hospital while chatting.
More than ten minutes later, the two entered the local hospital.
After the doctor learned that Xu Taiping had amnesia, he performed an CT scan on Xu Taiping's brain, and naturally there was no problem.
Xu Taiping had never lost his memory, everything was disguised, and he could find out that there was something wrong with the problem.
However, there have been many cases in the history of modern medicine where the brain is not at all but people lose their memory, so Xu Taiping's amnesia is not a big deal. The doctor prescribed some medicines to Xu Taiping that can calm down and nourish the spirit, and then let Xu Taiping leave.
After walking out of the hospital, Luo Juan said, "Since you have no problem with your brain and body, then you can stay in our country first. This way, you can go and live in my house. My house is by the beach, and the house is quite large. It's okay to live alone if you live alone."
"Living in your house? Wouldn't it be inconvenient?" Xu Taiping asked.
"What's the inconvenience about this? Our house has two floors. My daughter and I live in the building. You can live downstairs. You are not familiar with the place. First, live in my house, and then see if you can remember something. I haven't planned to go out to sea recently. I can stay at home for a few more days and help you by the way to see if I can help you remember something." Luo Juan said.
"That's so thank you!" Xu Taiping said sincerely. There are really too few people like Luo Juan who can do their best to help a stranger.
"Do you know why I helped you like this?" Luo Juan suddenly asked.
"Why?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Because... you are like my husband, you are all fallen into the water. I hope that if someone saves my husband, he can treat my husband as much as I do to you. After five years, I know he must have died, but I hope that he is like you, just lost his memory in other countries. I hope that someone will help him recover his memory. Then one day, he remembers everything and returns to our side again." Luo Juan said.
Looking at the tears in Luo Juan's eyes, Xu Taiping nodded seriously and said, "I believe that one day, he will definitely come back!"
