Chapter 226 The bustling outer area of Lihu County
Early the next morning, Lin Lan was woken up by the alarm clock on her mobile phone. While the other Iron-Blooded Ship girls were still washing up, she took Broken Qiong to the stairs on this floor and used the meta crystal.
The madness all night last night made Lin Lan feel a little tired even with the blessing of the hero's power.
After all, with Auguste, the extremely seductive witch, he was almost completely drained.
There is no snow in Lihu County today, and even the clouds in the sky have faded a lot. The sun is just rising in the distance. It looks like the weather will be good today.
After leaving the hotel and having breakfast with everyone, as soon as she got in the car, Lin Lan took a back seat and started to catch up on her sleep with her arms around her little Lolita U110.
After waking up and arriving at the pier, Lin Lan asked Sui Qiong to park the bus at the pier.
Sun Dewang will come to recycle the car when the time comes, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
And just as he was watching the ship girls boarding the yacht one by one, and preparing to board it himself and return to the port area, suddenly there was a shout from the dock:
"Commander! Commander! Wait, wait..."
Lin Lan stood beside the yacht, facing the cold river wind, and followed the sound with confusion.
Two young fishermen, a man and a woman, wearing hats and holding rolled up fishing nets and fishing guns, were running towards him.
Looking at the faces of these two people, Lin Lan felt that they looked familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember who they were.
After running up to him, the two fishermen took off their hats, revealing the cat ears on their heads. Only then did Lin Lan react.
Aren't these the parents of the little girl from Liaozhou who he rescued before, Li Ke?
"Commander, are you ready to return to the port area? Yesterday, we heard someone said that a commander came to the dock with a ship girl, so we guessed it was you."
Li Ke's father was a strong man from Liaozhou. He put the fishing gun in his hand on the ground and said with a bright smile to Lin Lan.
"Well, I came to the county yesterday to do some errands. You haven't had any difficulties in your life lately, right? How is Li Ke doing lately?"
"Thanks to the commander's protection, we are living a beautiful life now. Not only can we fish again, we can even send a lot of fish to the inner area for sale, and we can sleep peacefully."
Rico's mother also smiled and spoke, with unconcealable gratitude on her face.
"Little Lily is now in school. The school that was destroyed by the sirens in the outer area has been rebuilt. She is always thinking about coming to the Commander's port area to play."
Lin Lan nodded slightly. He also saw the outer area of Lihu County yesterday, and it was indeed completely new now.
Not only have all the ruins of collapsed buildings along the river bank been cleared away, but many new houses have also been built, and they are all thriving.
"Commander, we know that your time is valuable, please wait a moment. Wife, go to our boat and get some fresh fish from the basket for the Commander."
Li Ke's father saw that the ladies on the yacht behind Lin Lan were already standing on the deck watching them. He realized that Lin Lan was already planning to leave, so he quickly said to his wife.
Li Ke's mother put down the fishing net in her hand and quickly boarded a fishing boat next to her.
"Oh, no, no, no, what are you doing! It's hard enough for you all to go out fishing when it's so cold, so you guys should keep these fish and sell them for money!"
When Lin Lan heard this, he quickly refused in surprise.
Under the management of Akashi, there is no shortage of food in his port area, and there is a steady stream of supplies from the Tianou Group. How can he be embarrassed to accept the fish brought by this ordinary family?
But his words did not stop Li Ke’s mother. Li Ke’s father also held Lin Lan’s hand tightly and said with a smile:
"Master Commander is our great benefactor. If you don't accept this fish, you will definitely blame us when Little Lily comes back from school and finds out."
After repeatedly rejecting the offer, the other party still persisted. Lin Lan could only sigh, smile and tightly hold the hands that were rough from working for a long time.
He also knew that it would be rude to refuse again.
But before Li Ke's mother got off the fishing boat, many fishermen and workers preparing to fish came one after another to the residential buildings next to the pier.
"Old Li, we just sent our children to school. This is... oh, isn't this the commander who saved us before!"
"It's true! It's your commander! We are the protector of Lihu County!"
These fishermen and workers from outside Lihu County were all very familiar with Li Ke's father, and when they greeted him, they all noticed Lin Lan.
So amidst their enthusiastic exclamations, a pot exploded next to the pier.
Many fishermen rushed onto their fishing boats and took out their own goodies to surround the pier where Lin Lan was standing.
"Commander, this is the bacon made by my family, you must keep it!"
A middle-aged uncle with dog ears smiled and handed over a lump of meat wrapped in paper.
"This is the luxurious liquor that our family dug out from the ruins some time ago. We are not even willing to open it to drink. Commander, you must accept it!"
"If you hadn't driven away the sirens, our family would still be living in a tent!"
A burly Oran worker wearing a hard hat smiled and held up a long-necked wine bottle and handed it over, with a happy smile on his face.
Lin Lan was immediately at a loss when being sent various gifts by such enthusiastic residents of the outer area.
He originally wanted to refuse, but the enthusiasm of these residents in the outer area made him understand that if he did not accept these gifts, these people would have to fight with him.
Fortunately, Tirpitz and Z16 walked to Lin Lan from the yacht in time and helped Lin Lan take the numerous gifts and put them back on the yacht deck, so that Lin Lan would not be embarrassed.
Looking at these enthusiastic residents of the outer area, Lin Lan found that he had seen many faces of these people.
Not to mention the fishermen and Liaozhou people.
Many of those strong and burly workers were the thugs wearing vests who had followed Zhao Long and Zhao Hu before and were influenced by rumors to persecute the Liaozhou people.
Obviously, it seems that these people now have a very harmonious relationship with the Liaozhou people, and many of them are even working side by side.
It can be seen that they are not bad in nature, they were just bewitched by rumors to do those evil things. Now they have returned to their own jobs.
Just as Lin Lan watched these happy residents from other areas handing over gifts, she was speechless for a moment.
A young Oran fisherman smiled and held a large turtle crawling with limbs in his hands and handed it to him:
"This is the big turtle I caught in the river two days ago. Commander, you must take it to replenish your body. You see you have lost weight during this time!"
But as soon as the young man opened his mouth, he was slapped hard on the forehead by an old fisherman next to him, and he laughed and cursed in a loud voice:
"It's not good to give anything as a gift. You have to give it to a big bastard! You are the same as me as a commander!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
This loud voice made everyone on the dock laugh happily, including Lin Lan, and the young man also smiled shyly and said:
"Isn't this the fish you all gave me? I thought, Commander, you have so much fish, you can try it with a different taste."
Originally, Lin Lan thought that he would just accept the gifts from these people, but he never thought that more and more people would come after hearing the news.
It wasn't until more than half an hour passed that no one finally sent any more gifts, and at this time the dock was already blocked.
What Lin Lan didn't know was that Sun Dewang happened to be driving someone from the inner area to drive the bus back, but he saw everything on the pier from far away.
"So, is this what the head of state really thinks..."
Looking at Lin Lan standing on the pier, surrounded by Oran citizens from the outer area of Lihu County, who had happy smiles on their faces and expressed gratitude, smiling and waving to express their gratitude.
Sun Dewang muttered to himself, as if he understood something in his heart.
