Natalie walked with Bao Hong''s team for two days. During this period, when Natalie tried to get something out of others, Blair appeared and interrupted Natalie''s conversation with others.
Over time, everyone knew that Blair was on guard against Natalie. Everyone shut up and looked at Natalie with bad eyes.
Although Bao Hong talked and laughed with Natalie all the way, he mostly talked about the local customs of Ukraine, but he didn''t mention anything about themselves.
And Natalie found that every night, Bao Hong had a bonfire alone, and even Blair wouldn''t let him near. Bao Hong hummed a tune that Natalie had never heard, lonely as the night.
So on the third day, Natalie got nothing. And they finally arrived in a small town. The town had a Swedish flag at the head of the wall, but there was no Swedish soldier to guard it. Obviously, for such a small town, the limited strength of the Swedes is beyond their control.
"Brother natalina, it''s time for us to say goodbye to you here. I have to say that although this journey is not long, it''s a pleasant journey. I''m a little reluctant to separate from you," Blair said.
This is actually a hint that Natalie should leave.
But Natalie doesn''t want to separate from this group right away. Even if it''s the last chance, Natalie will try to continue to explore their details.
"Me too. Thank Bogong and you for your help. If you don''t mind, please let me buy you a drink."
Natalie finished with Blair, jumped forward again and said it again to everyone in the team.
Cossacks are addicted to alcohol. Natalie''s forthright move immediately aroused a lot of cheers.
"Boss Bogong, please don''t refuse," Natalie said to Bogong again.
"Bogon!" Blair shouted. Blair doesn''t want to cause more trouble because he is about to break up with the guy in front of him.
But Bao Hong didn''t do what Blair wanted. He grinned and responded to Natalie: "no one will refuse a good drink."
"Then go to this one," Natalie pointed to a tavern on the street.
Because it was still early in the morning when Bao Hong entered the town, it was still early. So the tavern was still empty, with only one waiter cleaning at the door.
Seeing a guest coming, the man is also a smart man. He quickly put down his broom and took Natalie''s bridle to the door of his tavern.
"Dear guest, go inside." the man smiled politely.
Natalie looked at Bao Hong and saw that he had no other indication, so she jumped off the horse.
Immediately, Bao Hong jumped off his horse and followed him in.
In the tavern, there was a Jewish shopkeeper wearing a black felt hat and a waitress with a waist as thick as a bucket.
When the Jewish shopkeeper saw the guests coming, he quickly welcomed them.
"Guest, what would you like to eat and drink? We have everything here."
"A glass of wine," Natalie said. She was not hungry, so she didn''t ask for food.
With ease, Natalie threw a small bag of Taylor into the hands of the Jews.
The shopkeeper weighed it, and the folds on his smiling face were squeezed into a flower.
"Vodka!"
"Gin!"
"Roast goose and sausage."
At this time, Bao Hong''s men saw that Natalie was so generous and shouted loudly for the food and wine they needed.
"Boss Bogon, what would you like to drink?" Natalie asked.
Of all the people, only Bogong didn''t speak.
The next second, Bao Hong''s action surprised Natalie. Bao Hong took off his hat and went to an oak barrel. He hugged the barrel in front of his chest.
As soon as he lifted his strength, the barrel was carried away by Bao Hong.
This barrel of wine weighed nearly a hundred pounds, and Bao Hong picked it up alone. With such great force, it scared the Jewish shopkeeper''s face white.
Bao Hong took the barrel to the table and put it down. He gasped and said, "I''ll drink this."
This move aroused bursts of admiration from those men.
Natalie pulled out two chairs and asked Bao Hong and Blair to sit down, while she was going to take another seat.
"Brother natalina, won''t you sit with us?"
Bao Hong politely took Natalie''s hand and wouldn''t let her go.
"No, Blair. You see, there is such a big barrel on the table that only two people can sit." Natalie said.
But how can Bao Hong let go. He said, "what''s the difficulty? I''ll just move the barrel to the open floor. Today is your treat. How can I let you sit at another table? You must have more drinks with us."
Natalie was pulled back by Bao Hong. He lifted the barrel to the ground and sat down with Natalie firmly pressed.
Others also sat down.
The shopkeeper received the money in advance and acted very quickly and quickly. Although it took time to roast the goose, the wine and sausage were served early.
Blair slapped the waitress on the ass. He raised his glass and said in a loud voice, "to the natalina brothers!"
The others raised their glasses to Natalie.
After drinking this cup, Natalie took the opportunity to ask Bao Hong, "leader Bogong, where are you going next?"
"Brother natarina, we''ll go wherever we can make money. Maybe we''ll meet again in Lithuania," Bao Hong said cunningly.
Although he drinks a lot, he speaks without leakage.
"Then I look forward to our meeting again." Natalie smiled and drank to Bao Hong again.
Next, everyone came to have a drink with Bao Hong for various reasons. They seem to have deliberately drunk Bao Hong, and Bao Hong simply refused to come, and the amount of wine is amazing.
Halfway through the wine tour, the door of the tavern was pushed open. A boy in gorgeous clothes entered the door. He looked disgusted at the noise in the tavern.
Obviously, this does not meet his expectations. The boy is ready to quit and find another place.
As soon as the Jewish shopkeeper saw the boy''s dress, he knew that there was a big customer behind him. He would observe his words and colors. When he saw that the boy was going to retreat, he would not be willing to let him go. The shopkeeper quickly ran forward and grabbed the other guy''s sleeve.
"What are you doing?" the boy exclaimed.
"Sorry, sorry. Sir, don''t look at the noise outside, there are elegant rooms inside."
With that, the shopkeeper stuffed a Taylor into the boy''s hand.
The little boy immediately smiled.
"The identity of our host is unusual. If you don''t entertain well, someone will come to pick you up," the young man warned.
"No, no! You must be at home." the Jewish shopkeeper had a flattering smile on his face.
While talking, another Taylor went into the boy''s pocket. The Jewish shopkeeper is so generous that he knows that there are countless rewards for a distinguished customer.
And all this was seen by Natalie and Bao Hong.
Bao Hong knocked the wine glass on the table.
"You see, these Jews are obsequious. You probably gave him the money." Bao Hong''s face turned red. He drank too much wine and everyone drank it.
Natalie didn''t know how to answer. Natalie was also the first time to see someone with a heroic, vulgar, meticulous and manic contradictory character like Bogong.
The boy went out. After a while, a carriage stopped in front of the tavern. First a lady came down from the carriage, then two children.
The boy led the way, and the lady took the child''s hand and came in.
At the moment when the lady entered the door, Bao Hong''s eyes lit up unprecedentedly.
It was the light of excitement and sadness, love and bloodthirsty.
