Chapter 1,387 Widow

"Boss, give us two more cups of Mugel!" Luo Juan shouted.
"Okay!" The boss nodded, then filled two large glasses of beer and delivered them to Xu Taiping and Luo Juan.
"Is this called Mugel?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.
"Well, this is our specialty beer from Xinia. Is it delicious?" Luo Juan asked.
"Yeah!" Xu Taiping nodded and said, "This beer tastes very much like red beer, but it has a more fruity aroma."
"Yes, because we are close to the tropics and have abundant fruits, we added a lot of fruits when brewing the mugger, so that the beer tastes so good!" Luo Juan said, picking up the pineapple cup and taking a swig. One mouthful.
"By the way, is your hand okay?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It's okay." Luo Juan shook her head.
"Show me." Xu Taiping said.
"It's okay. For sailors, a collision of this degree is nothing at all." Luo Juan said with a smile.
Xu Taiping frowned and involuntarily pulled Luo Juan's hand under the table.
Luo Juan's fists were clenched, allowing Xu Taiping to see her palms.
"Let me show you, I know how energetic I was just now!" Xu Taiping said.
"I told you it's okay." Luo Juan said while retracting her hand.
Although Xu Taiping was not very strong, he still pressed Luo Juan's hand tightly. Finally, Luo Juan reluctantly gave up her struggle. She opened her palm and said, "Look."
Xu Taiping glanced at the palm of Luo Juan's hand. The palm of his hand was red, but the skin was not broken. It looked like there were just some collision injuries.
In addition to this collision injury, Xu Taiping was surprised to find that Luo Juan's hands had many calluses.
Almost every finger has calluses.
For a woman, a pair of hands is also part of her appearance, such as Xia Jinxuan and Song Jialing. Their hands are white and tender, soft and boneless. Even Su Nianci, who exercises regularly, has very delicate hands. Luo Juan's hands were the roughest women's hands that Xu Taiping had ever seen, and they also had calluses, which seriously affected her beauty. However, to Xu Taiping, these hands were unreal.
This is a testament to a widow trying to support herself.
"Go back and rub it with coconut oil to reduce swelling!" Xu Taiping said.
"I know this." Luo Juan retracted her hand with some discomfort, then picked up the wine glass and said, "Let's have a drink."
"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Luo Juan, then asked, "Where are the others? Have they all unloaded the goods?"
"They went to fool around, find those women you just saw, or go to some more fun bars." Luo Juan said.
"A more fun bar?" Xu Taiping looked at Luo Juan doubtfully.
"They say it's a business place, a place where women can play. Men are like this," Luo Juan said.
"Then why didn't you take me to the business mall for dinner just now?" Xu Taiping asked.
"There is no food there, and I didn't know you were that kind of person." Luo Juan said.
"That kind of person? What kind of person am I?" Xu Taiping asked.
"You yourself know what business you were discussing with that street girl just now. Have you forgotten? I found that although you have lost your memory, you have not forgotten some of your true nature!" Luo Juan said.
"This..." Xu Taiping scratched his head awkwardly, then picked up the wine glass and said, "Drink!"
"Haha, okay!" Luo Juan smiled and drank with Xu Taiping.
After downing a large glass of draft beer, Luo Juan stood up and went to pay the bill first, then walked to Xu Taiping and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital."
"Is it far from here?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It's not far. It takes twenty minutes to walk. Let's go. If it's too late, the doctor won't be here!" Luo Juan said.
"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, and then walked out of the bar with Luo Juan.
As soon as the two arrived at the door of the bar, they met a group of people.
There were five people in this group, and one of them was Jackson, who was knocked down by Xu Taiping before and almost killed by Xu Taiping.
Jackson followed a muscular man, about 1.7 meters tall, and when he saw Xu Taiping and Luo Juan walking out of the bar together, Jackson excitedly pointed at Xu Taiping and shouted, "Captain, this guy hit me just now! "
The man whom Jackson called captain looked at Xu Taiping with a dark face and said, "You hit my man?"
"Lucio, Jackson spread rumors about me in the bar, and my crew heard it. My crew warned him, and he hit my crew first, and then my crew fought back!" Luo Juan explained! road.
"Rumors? What kind of nonsense is this? Are you, Luo Juan, a widow still afraid of spreading rumors? Look at Jackson's head, it's almost rotten here, you know? We are going to sea tomorrow, and Jackson is the guide of our ship. He is now My head hurts and I'm still dizzy. If we can't go out to sea tomorrow, you'll have to take responsibility!" the captain named Lucio frowned.
"Yes, I'm dizzy now, so dizzy!" Jackson said cooperatively, covering his head.
"Then what do you want?" Luo Juan asked with a frown.
"It's okay. I'll let you, the crew member, kneel down and apologize to Jackson, and then you can stay with me all night!" Lucio said with a joking smile.
As soon as his laughter ended, Luo Juan's high kick had already reached Lucio's chin.
This kick from Luo Juan was so powerful and heavy, and it was also very sudden. Lucio didn't have time to react at all, and was directly kicked by Luo Juan in the chin. The whole person flew up to half a meter high, and then hit hard fell to the ground.
"I don't like people making fun of me." Luo Juan looked at Lucio, who was lying on the ground covering his mouth and screaming, and said, "Everyone is a cheater, please keep your mouths clean."
After speaking, Luo Juan turned and walked aside.
Lucio's crew members watched the whole process, but no one dared to take action against Luo Juan.
"Are you so powerful?!" Xu Taiping asked in surprise as he walked away.
"A widow like me won't be able to go to sea if she's not strong enough," Luo Juan said.
Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment. Luo Juan's words seemed like she was bragging, but all he heard from Luo Juan's tone was loneliness and helplessness.
"When did your husband fall into the sea and disappear?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Five years ago." Luo Juan said.
"He just fell into the sea and disappeared. He is not dead. How can you call yourself a widow?" Xu Taiping said.
"If he fell into the sea and disappeared, he was basically dead. Moreover, when he fell into the sea, the storm was at its strongest. There were no islands within a hundred seas around him, and he was not wearing a lifejacket. There was only one way to die," Luo Juan said. .
"Don't be so pessimistic, be more optimistic, I'm sure he will suddenly appear one day!" Xu Taiping said.
"I spent a year with this idea, and finally I 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 live It’s pretty good 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 an island to live on.”
"You still have a daughter?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.
"Well, my daughter is 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 like you are in your early thirties at most!"
"Early thirties? How is it possible that I am so dark?" Luo Juan smiled and shook her head and said, "People in our Xinia are all dark, and my daughter is also dark, just like me. In our Xinia, white people are They are rare, so they are very precious, but fortunately, although my daughter is dark, she is very beautiful, and I will not worry about getting married in the future!"
"Can your island be bought and sold at will?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Of course, there are thousands of islands around us. There are very few people in our country. In order to attract foreign investment, the country has put the thousands of islands around us on the shelves. You can buy them as long as you give money, but they are very expensive. Buy the smallest one. A small island is only a few hundred square meters and costs several million, which is enough to buy several houses in our capital, so no one is willing to buy it. Except for those rich foreigners," Luo Juan said.
"That's it!" Xu Taiping nodded.
The two of them walked to the hospital while chatting.
Ten minutes later, the two entered the local hospital.
After the doctor learned that Xu Taiping had amnesia, he performed a CT scan on Xu Taiping's brain. The result was naturally that there was no problem.
Xu Taiping didn't have amnesia at first, everything was disguised, and he was able to find out what the problem was.
However, in the history of modern medicine, there have been many cases where people lost their memory even though their brains were intact. Therefore, Xu Taiping’s amnesia was not a big deal. The doctor prescribed Xu Taiping some medicine that could calm and rest his mind, and then let Xu Taiping go. .
After walking out of the hospital, Luo Juan said, "Since there is nothing wrong with your brain or body, you should stay in our country for now. Let's do this. You can go live in my house. My house is by the sea and the house is quite big. I can live with you." Everyone is fine."
"Staying at your house? Wouldn't it be inconvenient?" Xu Taiping asked.
"What's the inconvenience? Our house has two floors. I live with my daughter upstairs, and you can live downstairs. You are not familiar with the place. You can stay at my house first and then see if you can remember anything. I just happened to I don’t plan to go to sea recently, so 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.
"Thank you so much!" Xu Taiping said with sincere gratitude. There are too few people in this world who can try their best to help a stranger like Luo Juan.
"Do you know why I want to help you like this?" Luo Juan asked suddenly.
"Why?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Because... you are a drowning person like my husband. I hope that if someone saves my husband, he can treat my husband like I did to you. It has been five years. I know that he must be dead, but How I hope that, like you, he just lost his memory in another country, I hope that someone will help him recover his memory, and then one day, he will remember everything and come back to us," Luo Juan said.
Seeing the tears in Luo Juan's eyes, Xu Taiping nodded seriously and said, "I believe that one day, he will come back!"
