As if he felt two eyes staring at him, the old man raised his head helplessly and replied in Slavic: "I don't understand Chinese, and I don't know what you are talking about..."
Li Qing and Hou Hou looked at the old man speechlessly, I believed you, you are a bad old man, you are so bad...
The old man also seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing. After holding it in for a long time, he had to answer in broken Chinese: "I can understand a little bit... but I can't speak well, it's too difficult..."
Finally there was someone to communicate with. Li Qing and Monkey breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, Li Qing curiously asked the old man in Chinese: "Who did you learn Chinese from?"
"Uh... A few years ago, I met a Chinese friend. He was a diplomat. But as the war broke out in China, he went to work elsewhere. I don't know if there are other places. No chance to see you again..."
Okay, this question is quite boring. If you were chatting like this in China, you might even get a relative or something, but at this time and in this place...
Li Qing had no choice but to ask herself what she urgently needed to know: "Who is the leader of this group of you?"
"Boss, what is it?" The old man looked at Li Qing with innocent eyes.
Li Qing almost choked on his own saliva: "Cough!...Cough! Cough!...That's what the leader meant!"
The old man had a strange accent and laughed at Li Qing: "Chief? Haha, do you think... we people will have leaders?"
The monkey beside him became a little impatient: "He is the leader of your beggar gang..."
"Gang leader? What is it?"
"I'm going to... just keep my word. Who has the final say here?"
"No one has the final say here, they are just here to shelter from the wind and rain. A group of people who have lost hope can survive one day at a time, and no one knows whether they can survive until tomorrow!"
What can a group of resigned people say?
Maybe they have fought, worked hard, and refused to accept it, but when they were stepped into the mud pit by fate again and again, some people gave up and accepted their fate.
From then on, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and the sun behind the dark clouds could no longer be seen.
"Destiny" is a big proposition. Li Qing and Monkey have no time to lament the fate of some people because they are still fighting against their fate.
Li Qing and Hou Hou exited the house and discussed the "destiny" of these people. Undoubtedly, these people were lucky. After discussion, the monkey entered the house in a few steps.
The monkey said to the cunning old man in Chinese: "This city has just been occupied by us. We just came here to search. There will definitely be some changes in this city in the next period of time."
"So, our request to you is that you don't leave this house before dawn tomorrow and forget what you saw. Otherwise, something you don't want to see may happen! This thing, as a help, I hope you will obey advice……"
A coin appeared in the monkey's hand, which was a silver dinar, and was slowly placed on the ground in front of the door.
After closing the door, the monkey shouted loudly in Slavic: "You won't die if you starve for a day, but you may die if you come out. Think carefully!"
After finishing speaking, Monkey turned around and nodded to Li Qing. The two quickly got on the tank and drove the tank into a factory they had previously watched.
What the two of them didn't notice was that behind a hole in the wall, an extra pair of eyes appeared at some point, watching the tanks drive into the factory until Li Qing and Monkey left empty-handed!
On the streets of the city, most of the shops were closed. Only a few shops were open, but there was a long queue in front of the door. People were waiting in long queues to buy food or daily necessities.
Fortunately, the German soldiers did not make things difficult for them, and in some places there were military police to help maintain order. Ordinary citizens of Sarajevo found that the order in the city had actually become better.
It was almost noon. Li Qing and Monkey strolled on the street for a while. The most important thing now was to have a good meal and then have a good sleep!
My legs were sore from walking. After asking several people, I finally found a small restaurant with the door open. I opened the curtain and walked in. I found that the restaurant was not big, with less than ten tables. At this time, it was best to eat inside. There were not many people there, and most of the tables were empty. The two occupied tables were middle-aged people who looked like ordinary citizens, lowering their heads and chatting quietly.
Li Qing and Hou Hou found a table in the corner, took off their hats and put them on the table, then shouted loudly: "Waiter..."
Behind the counter, the kitchen door curtain opened, and a man hurriedly walked out, with a smile on his face but a hint of exhaustion, and a trace of sadness in his slightly sunken eye sockets.
The person who came out was about fifty or sixty years old. He was not tall, with a thin face but a strong body. He wore an apron and had a slightly curved back. His hair was combed very carefully without any mess. What's more important was that The silvery white hair is still clearly visible among the black hair.
It seems that one person has multiple jobs, a chef and a waiter, and maybe a part-time boss, cashier or something like that.
As the person who came out came to the table, Li Qing and Monkey were stunned. The person who came had yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes, and he looked like an old country cook in China!
"Sir? Sir! What do you need?" The restaurant owner looked at the stunned two people and was a little confused for a moment. He could only try to wake them up tremblingly.
"I'm going..." The monkey finally recovered and shouted in Chinese.
This loud shout woke up Li Qing, who was still in shock, and also confused the restaurant owner.
"Sir... where are you going? No... you... you... you... how can you speak Chinese?"
"Oh... let me go..." This is what Li Qing shouted.
The restaurant owner was even more confused: "Sir...where are you going?"
This image, this temperament, and this tone of voice are definitely Chinese!
"Steady! Steady! Huh..." The monkey sat on the stool, making constant gestures with his hands on his chest, making breathing movements.
Li Qing had already reacted, looking straight at the restaurant owner, but her heart was still beating "Plop! Plop!"
"Pfft!" The restaurant owner was happy when he saw the monkey, but then he felt something was wrong. He quickly stopped the smile on his face and explained: "Sir, what you learned is quite similar..."
Seeing that the old man was frightened, Li Qing thought it was best to confirm, so he asked in Chinese: "Uncle, are you Chinese?"
Hearing Li Qing's question, the restaurant owner looked at Li Qing. How could a typical Western devil speak authentic Chinese? I can't help but be a little curious.
(Many people don’t know the origin of the term ghost. In fact, there is a saying that it is the transliteration of ‘Qiuci’. The real pronunciation is ‘qiū cí’, which generally refers to the Western race)
"Yeah, they are indeed Chinese. We have been here for many years. How come you can speak Chinese? The accent sounds a bit like ours!"
The monkey said from the side: "We are Chinese!"
