Chapter 9 Ogami from a foreign land

The eye-catching wooden prosthetic left arm almost made Chen Yan ignore another thing on his body——

He carried two knives on his back.

A real katana!

What is this person?

Ninja? Or samurai?

Chen Yan didn't know who he was, but he only knew that he was standing in the cold wind under the blizzard, with cold snot solidifying on his lips.

Chen Yan looked down and saw that he was not wearing any shoes and only had a pair of wooden clogs on his feet.

So cruel!

Chen Yan's heart suddenly dropped when she saw his ruthless outfit.

This house must be rented to him no matter what...

"This guest was introduced to you by your third uncle?"

Chen Yan asked the question bravely, praying that the other party could understand his language, while cursing Tai Sheng and the old ghost in his heart.

That old guy obviously tricked him,

The tenant in front of me is not only a poor man,

He is still a poor guy who must live in Bawang Store!

This poor guy doesn’t have much money at first glance!

I really have to lose money for humanitarian aid this time!

What's more serious is not these.

What made things serious was not taking in two poor men.

Instead, they took in two undocumented stowaways.

In the empire, staying in a black house will face very serious legal sanctions.

So Chen Yan looked very ugly.

He asked with a sense of luck: "This...brother, do you have a visa?"

A confused look appeared on the man's dirty face, and he obviously didn't understand Chen Yan's words.

The confusion in his eyes clearly told the confusion in his heart——

He was confused!

When he was introduced, he thought the landlord of this apartment was also from Yingguo.

Introducing people from the same country to help each other is the default rule for old Asian immigrants in the empire when doing business.

When immigrants from different countries come together, things can get quite complicated.

The problem of language barrier is secondary.

In case there is any old grudge like war between the two new immigrants' different countries,

Things often develop in extreme directions.

Chen Yan knew that his third uncle must also understand these rules.

But the third uncle still introduced the two Yingguo people.

Chen Yan looked at the man's confused expression and suddenly understood in his heart that Tai Sheng and the old ghost were actually eating from both ends -

The old guy even deceived this man, so the man acted very confused when he saw Chen Yan.

In just a few seconds, Chen Yan could already predict:

When the third uncle introduced the man, he must have mentioned a lot of benefits.

The rent is cheap, the landlord is easy to talk to, the police force on Walker Street is weak, and there is no way to investigate illegal households...

It's all nonsense.

The man never thought that the landlord of the apartment he was about to rent could not even speak Yingguo.

Just when Chen Yan felt at a loss what to do, a small face suddenly appeared from behind the man's right thigh.

"Hello...hello."

A little girl, also wearing only a cotton robe, walked out from behind the man.

She grabbed the man's frozen pants with one hand and said to Chen Yan in clumsy language:

"Hello, it's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me!"

The girl is about 12 years old. Under her cotton robe is a pair of thin cloth trousers. The trousers have been washed and torn. Although they are not dirty, they obviously have no warmth at all.

These two people...are they father and daughter?

The girl had some frostbite on her face and her ears were broken by the frost, but these were not enough to cover up her delicate face.

"It was our third uncle who introduced us here."

She took out a piece of paper and handed it to Chen Yan with both hands.

Chen Yan took the note and saw a few twisted words written in charcoal:

"33 Walker Street"

Simple and clear, the handwriting is ugly.

It's Uncle San's style.

Chen Yan sighed and put the note into his pocket.

"It's all here..."

At this point, if you drive someone away, even if you have accomplished the task, it will not do him any good.

What's more, at this point, even the madman Klein Justus had fallen asleep, and no one would see the two of them entering his apartment.

He stepped aside, wanting the two of them to go in first.

"My name is Chen Yan."

The two of them did not enter the door immediately, but bowed 90 degrees to him again, took off their clogs, held them in their hands, and then entered the door.

He is a polite tenant.

This thought flashed through Chen Yan's mind, and then she closed the door gently.

The thin wooden door immediately blocked out the blizzard.

The sound of the wind and snow became quieter, replaced by the white noise of boiling water in the kettle in the corner of the hall.

The moonlight outside the house has been completely blocked by the snowstorm, and the light from the street lights can be ignored, but Chen Yan's old apartment is not dim.

On such a night, the light of the kerosene lamp will appear particularly bright.

Chen Yan uncovered the plastic sheet on the sofa.

"Please take a seat."

He took a glass teacup wrapped in oak and poured them boiling water from the kettle.

This time, the young and old finally did not bow to express their thanks. Instead, they took the tea cups, held them in their hands, and huddled on the sofa, shivering, like two extremely frightened sloths.

Chen Qing picked up a chair, turned the back of the chair towards them, and sat in front of them.

"Well... how should I put it? Third uncle has told you everything you need to know, right?"

The girl shuddered and answered his words in a small voice:

"Uncle San didn't say anything. He just gave us the address and pointed us the route on the map, and we came here."

This simple sentence made Chen Yan's scalp numb.

What a stupid old ghost, just let these two people come here?!

Chen Yan subconsciously came up with an idea:

Will these two people be targeted by the police and tracked to his apartment?

Helping smugglers and harboring criminals are both serious crimes.

Even large gangsters like Tai Shenghe are doing things carefully.

He is an ordinary person, has no connections, and is an Asian. If he is found to be harboring a gangster, it may not be as simple as deportation.

Most likely, you will have to spend a few years in jail before being kicked out of the country!

To be cautious, Chen Yan decided to ask about this matter.

"It's very dangerous for you to do this."

Chen Yan considered his words.
