Chapter 522 Knife at Neck
Panting, Su Wan chased the thief for three streets. The boy who stole her things was a boy who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. The chase made Su Wan angry and speechless.
Who would have thought that it was a good age to study and get an education, but the other party would start a thief's business!
I really don’t know how to evaluate it!
Su Wan secretly hated that she still hadn't learned the language here. She wanted to shout "Catch the thief" but didn't know how to say it.
"Don't run! Give me my wallet back!"
That was all her belongings. If she lost it like this, would she and Nono be forced to sleep on the street in three days? !
Su Wan was so anxious that she used all her strength and ran forward like crazy.
But just as he was about to catch up, a large maglev vehicle suddenly passed by, and Su Wan had to stop.
When I looked closely, I couldn't find any trace of that little brat!
The street ahead is winding and winding. Who knows where the little thief who stole the wallet slipped in? !
Su Wan sighed sadly and stopped chasing. She knelt down and rubbed her aching legs, and then she could only walk helplessly towards the small hotel where she paid the rent.
In order to avoid pursuit, Su Wan only paid for the hotel for three days. Su Wan was lucky at the time because the hotel was small and there was no need to swipe an ID card. As long as you had money, you could check in.
But now, she didn't even have time to buy Nuonuo's energy box for battery life, and now she is penniless!
The money left in the hotel can support the supply of nutrient solution for a few days at most. Does she want to watch Nono continue to sleep due to lack of energy?
In this unfamiliar place and time, if it weren't for Nuonuo by her side, Su Wan felt that she might have been sold to someone else as a slave.
Once Nono went into sleep, she wouldn't even have anyone to chat with.
It feels like a person is in the vast ocean and is about to drown if the last piece of driftwood is lost.
She has never been so afraid of being alone.
Su Wan moved away slowly, feeling that she was really unlucky.
No matter what, life had to go on, and she had to at least support herself and Nono.
Su Wan touched the silver ring on the ring finger of her left hand. The tiny diamonds shone brightly in the sunlight.
Su Wan pursed her lips and silently cheered herself up.
…
Three days later, Su Wan had to take Nono and get out of the hotel.
A penny is too much for a hero. The hotel also has to do business, so it is impossible to spare a room for Su Wan to stay for free.
However, the hotel proprietress was a kind-hearted person. Seeing that Su Wan was pitiful, she found a place for Su Wan that could not only make money but also provide accommodation and meals.
The boat that sails from Baishan District to Fenglan Island every day is recruiting people because the passenger flow has increased in recent days.
Someone like Su Wan, who couldn't carry it on her shoulders or lift it with her hands, could just be a waiter cleaning up debris.
In this situation, it would be good to have a place to stay. Su Wan immediately followed the instructions of the hotel proprietress and applied for the job.
Unexpectedly, this recruitment actually requires an ID card to prove your origin!
Su Wan stood beside the old man in charge of recruitment, wringing his fingers, looking dazed and helpless.
"I lost my ID card and wallet together. Can you be kind and take me in?"
The old man frowned when he heard this. Where did this dark and thin girl learn the interstellar common language?
Although I understand the meaning, why does it sound so awkward? !
The old man looked at Su Wan for a long time and felt that this dark and fragile-looking little girl did not look like a murderer, so he finally kept her.
The old man glanced sideways at Su Wan and spoke arrogantly.
"You can stay if you want, but your salary is half that of others, and if you come here to work without an ID card, we will all bear the risk for you. From now on, you can only live in the bottom of the passenger ship, and you can't do whatever you want. Go up."
Su Wan looked at Nono's synchronized lip translation and immediately nodded in surprise. Looking at the expression of the old applicant, she thought she had failed!
As long as you can stay, even if you pay a small price for it, what does it matter!
A little less money is nothing, at least the problem of food and accommodation has been solved, and Su Wan won't mind other problems at all.
Su Wan nodded in surprise at the old man who applied for the job, and smiled unconsciously.
"Thank you for taking me in!"
Seeing the smile on Su Wan's face, the old man was startled and couldn't help but stare at Su Wan a few more times.
This girl's eyes are really good, as clear as a spring water, so clear that it makes people palpitate.
And when you smile, you feel particularly comfortable.
What a pity for such beautiful eyes.
…
Su Wan immediately took Nono and moved to their new residence.
As Su Wan expected, the environment in the bottom cabin was indeed very bad. It was originally used to store debris and had not been inhabited for a long time, making it look damp and dirty.
But the biggest advantage is that there is no one else here except her and Nono. She communicates with Nono in Chinese on weekdays and will not attract other people's attention.
Moreover, the area of this house is not small. Su Wan feels that by sorting out the debris, she can free up a large area, which is more than enough for three or four people.
Now that he has a place to live, Su Wan is no longer as afraid of his future life as before.
The job provided food and accommodation, so Su Wan used her remaining belongings to buy a cheap energy box for Nono. According to Nono, as long as it was not overused, it could last for more than a month.
Working on a passenger ship was easier than Su Wan had imagined. Su Wan was mainly responsible for clearing and organizing the cargo on the penultimate floor of the passenger ship.
With Noonuo here, they were like two people doing the work of one person. Su Wan could often spare more time to learn interstellar lingua franca with Noonuo.
If she wants to find Jiang Xuecheng, she must seriously learn the language here, otherwise everything will be empty talk.
Even so, Su Wan did not dare to use Nuo Nuo too much. After all, the first month's salary had not been paid yet, and Su Wan was afraid that suddenly, No Nuo's energy would be insufficient.
In a way, Nono was like a pillar, making Su Wan feel at ease. She needed Nono's company.
…
Su finished counting today's goods later. She hummed a tune she made up and reached out to close the door of the warehouse full of goods.
Su Wan locked the door of the warehouse. Just as she was about to turn around, suddenly, a knife was pressed against her neck.
Su Wan's body suddenly shook, and her breath froze in an instant.
The night was extremely quiet, with only a weak lamp emitting a dim light.
People are like swordsmen, and I am like fish and meat. Su Wan didn't dare to express his anger, so she could only try her best to stay calm.
In the silence, Su Wan heard an extremely low voice.
"help me."
