Chapter 68: Bathing
Shen Mengting took off her cloak like the wind, and a tightly tied piece of clothing inside her body was revealed.
Zhao Yu's body twitched suddenly, and he turned his head in a hurry, his uncomfortable face seemed to be fixed on his face. His hands were shaking, and the staff he was holding was about to fall to the ground.
Shen Mengting threw away her coat and was about to remove her pants. She threw away the two boots and stepped onto the bed. She began to take off the stockings off her feet and put them on again.
Oops! There were a few bruises on his legs from the previous fight with Steppenwolf. Shen Mengting carefully found a few small injuries and shook her head quickly.
At this time, she seemed to have thought of something, so she looked at Zhao Yu again.
Zhao Yu was completely flustered at the moment, and his two lips were trembling, as if he had suffered an unprecedented blow.
"Hey, what's wrong with you kid?" Shen Mengting yelled at him in confusion.
Zhao Yu reacted, but failed to explain a word. His whole body seemed to be stunned, as if his soul had been drained away.
Shen Mengting couldn't help but shake her head, and she walked around barefoot on the floor directly. She needed to check the bathroom to the southeast of the room in case she could get the bath water.
"By the way, I need you to do something right now. "Go outside and buy some supplies for the wilderness, like tents, flints, and the like." ”
Seeing that Zhao Yu did not respond, Shen Mengting stopped. Her brow furrowed as if she were about to utter an accusatory word, "Hey, what's wrong with you? I'm talking to you, why don't you squeak?"
Zhao Yu gasped violently, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Hey!"
Shen Mengting's successive roars finally made Zhao Yu enter a normal state. However, he still lowered his head very low, so that he didn't have any contact with Shen Mengting's body.
"I didn't ...... Nothing?"
"Did you hear what I was talking to you just now?"
"Huh? You just ...... What did you say?" Zhao Yu's mouth bulged into a balloon.
Shen Mengting shook her head and sighed, "Sometimes I really don't understand what you're thinking?"
She repeated what she told Zhao Yu again, and Zhao Yu also learned that he had been assigned the task of going out to buy supplies. To be honest, Zhao Yu didn't really want to stay in this room, he was worried about what excuse he should find to escape!
"Yes, I see. I'm going to buy it. Zhao Yu strode quickly towards the gate.
"Hey! Shen Mengting scolded him again, "Don't you go out to buy things without money?"
Only then did Zhao Yu realize that he was currently penniless. Shen Mengting shook her head violently, and she walked straight to the bed again. Picking up her blouse, she pulled out a money bag from a mouth inside.
I took it in my hand and turned it upside down, and the sound of the gold coins colliding with each other kept ringing. Shen Mengting directly threw the money bag at Zhao Yu.
"You take this, go out and buy whatever you want outside, no need to save. I know you're tired too, so say hello to yourself!"
Zhao Yu faced the money bag that suddenly approached, and hurriedly took it with his right hand. Before the first time I could pick it up, the money bag was about to fall to the ground. Helplessly, his left hand holding the staff also joined in the use of receiving things. The money bag slipped several times in his hand before he could barely catch it.
Holding a money bag in his hand, Zhao Yu felt that his arm was about to be broken. He had never touched so much money before, and he pulled the string of the bag and looked at the glittering gold coins inside.
"Okay, you can go out and buy things now!" Shen Mengting began to walk in the direction of the bathroom again.
Zhao Yu squinted his eyes, he was about to put down the staff in his hand, but this action was stopped by Shen Mengting again.
"Bring the staff, too, to protect you. You know, there aren't many good people out there. When you encounter any bad guys, you have to protect yourself. Shen Mengting's eyes unconsciously glanced towards Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu heard the words of admonition and quickly nodded.
"Also, if you really encounter any bad guys, you can attack him directly with magic, without mercy. Because the bad guys won't let you go because of your soft-heartedness. ”
"Yes, I see. ”
"Got it, don't go yet. Shen Mengting had already walked into the bathroom, and her voice was no longer sharp because of a corner.
Zhao Yu tried his best to calm his thoughts, he put the money bag into his clothes, and was about to go out.
"By the way, I'll tell you one more thing. ”
At this time, Shen Mengting walked out of the bathroom again. She had less clothes on her body, and her shoulders were completely exposed.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu could no longer control his breathing, and his face was also full of a burning tingling sensation.
"Hey, don't always look panicked, okay! It's just the two of us here, are you still afraid of the enemy coming in?"
Shen Mengting's accusation did not make Zhao Yu feel better, and his body began to get hotter and hotter.
"I'll tell you. When you go out, go to the tailor shop and buy a few more clothes. You don't have to pay attention to anything, as long as you can wear it. Buy a few pieces for both women and men, and you'll have plenty of money in your pocket anyway. It's been getting a lot cooler lately, so remember to buy something thicker — hey, did you hear that?"
Zhao Yu closed his eyes tightly and began to nod his head in a daze. He was about to go to the gate, but he didn't dare to look straight ahead, and he hit a corner of the table. The femur hurt so much that he was about to scream, but Zhao Yu still desperately held back and didn't shout. He groped his way to the gate.
"Be careful!"
There was Shen Mengting's shouting behind him, but Zhao Yu did not respond a word. He opened the door and stiffened out. His current appearance can be said to be like a clockwork doll, and the movement of his torso is awkwardly straight.
Shen Mengting cursed viciously. She walked to the door and closed it unpleasantly.
What is this kid doing? Is it evil or what? Shen Mengting let out a long breath.
But in addition to being irritable, she is more cheerful. She was finally able to take a good shower, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. Even, she hummed a song softly.
Stepping into the bathroom, she unscrewed the halter on a wooden barrel.
The barrel was large enough for a few people of her size to jump into it. On the upper part of the halter, there is a water pipe, which can flow a steady stream of water. I heard that these pipes were built by the dwarfs, who are short but have very smart brains. They actually came up with the idea of building finger-thin pipes inside the building, and then connecting the river to bring water into the building.
In this way, the people living in the house can enjoy the water in peace. It's just that this kind of construction is very expensive, and only the nobles can afford it. The reason why Shen Mengting wants a first-class house is also because of water resources.
Seeing the trickle of water flowing into the wooden barrel, Shen Mengting took out a brick object from the side, this rectangular device is an energy source, pressed the button on it, and then threw it into the barrel. The water in the bucket will also heat up, so she can take a warm bath comfortably.
Shen Mengting stretched her waist again sharply. For the first time in so many days of escape, she felt such a sense of relief.
Gently put your hand into the bucket and felt the temperature of the water. When she found that the water temperature was just right, she let go and showed a satisfied expression.
Seeing the steaming water rising again, Shen Mengting pushed a few strands of hair behind her ears like a girl.
"Hurry up! I can't wait!"
------------------------------------------------------------
It had been a while since Zhao Yu walked out of Room 312, but he had not yet woken up from the aftermath of the room just now. He was like a walking corpse, staring blankly ahead, his feet staggering.
One moment it hit the wall, and the next it hit the door of another room. In short, he walked around the corridor on the third floor, and he didn't look like a normal person.
Finally reached the top of the stairs, and because he didn't pay attention to his step, he almost fell down in the clearing.
Holding on to the wall with one hand, Zhao Yu was able to catch a few breaths.
Just now...... Just now......
Thinking of Shen Mengting's naked body just now, Zhao Yu felt that he couldn't breathe smoothly. He quickly clutched his chest again, deciding not to think about it anymore.
After stabilizing his thoughts, Zhao Yu slowly went downstairs.
When he reached the lobby on the first floor, he met a fellow man from the inn again. Zhao Yu didn't know the name of this person, but he seemed to have heard Shen Mengting call him Xiao Li. It was this person who took Nasa away at the door of the inn.
After Xiao Li saw Zhao Yu, he threw a slippery smile. Zhao Yu twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded at Xiao Li awkwardly.
"Hello!" Xiao Li stretched out his long arm to beckon. However, after getting closer to Zhao Yu, he noticed something strange on his body, "Huh, why is your face red like this?"
After hearing this, Zhao Yu hurriedly touched his face, "Ahhh
"yes! What's wrong? You're on fire?"
"Ahh
"You can pay attention to the fire! That's not a small disease. I recommend buying some of our hotel's sparkling flowers, it's famous for going to the fire!"
"Oh, got it. Zhao Yu scratched his temples stiffly. He put his hand inside his shirt again, searched it casually, and pulled out a gold coin from it, "This is for you." ”
Xiao Li seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he hurriedly looked around. Fortunately, there was no one on the side, and the passengers in the hall were also eating and chatting.
Xiao Li hurriedly waved his hand: "You...... What are you...... What do you mean? We can't take money indiscriminately, and besides, it's a gold coin, something so valuable......"
"It doesn't matter, you just accept it!" Zhao Yu's eyes were fixed in front of him, and his eyes seemed to be in a state of complete distraction, and he didn't even seem to be able to focus at the very least. His right hand, which was holding the gold coin, wandered in front of him for a while, and finally found Xiao Li's body.
Zhao Yu hurriedly threw the gold coin into Xiao Li's clothes.
Xiao Li began to fumble with his clothes in a panic, he couldn't understand what the passenger in front of him was thinking.
Zhao Yu saw that his goal had been achieved, so he rushed to the door of the hotel regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one. He ran out in a hurry, leaving Xiao Li, who was still immersed in shock.
Running out of the hotel, Zhao Yu suddenly began to inhale. The air outside is much better than inside the hotel. His mouth was wide open, and his head was raised in the face of a heavy pant.
As the rate of breathing slowly decreased, Zhao Yu's mind became stable.
He 'oops' a few times before he officially relaxed.
'Is my face really red?' Zhao Yu touched his cheek again. Indeed, he had long felt that his face was full of hot feelings, but being pointed out by others as a fiery redness still made him feel a little uncomfortable. So, Zhao Yu flicked his arm a few times irritably.
The cool breeze blew across his cheeks, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.
It's better to be outside! Zhao Yu looked around for a while.
Now, he is standing in a strange town. He couldn't have imagined it before. But since you're here, let's follow the mission and complete it!
Shen Mengting just said that she asked him to go out to buy some necessary supplies in the field, as well as some clothes that he needed because of the cold weather.
Zhao Yu imagined all the items he needed to buy in his mind, and then thought about which one to buy.
The order of buying things must refer to the weight of the items, and Zhao Yu's two fingers immediately moved. What was the lightest thing, he thought, it must be something like tents and flints. So, he decided to make a trip to the nearest grocery store first.
But where is the grocery store?
Zhao Yu fell to the entrance of the street. The town was so new to him that he couldn't figure out where there was a grocery store and where there was a tailor.
Clenching his fists, he slammed into the wall next to him. This Shen Mengting is also really, just say that she went out to buy something, but she didn't say anything about where to buy it. How did he find it?
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yu thought of the innkeeper. If you can open a hotel here, you must be very familiar with this town! Zhao Yu patted his head and returned to the inn.
Found the counter, Zhao Yu called the fat-headed and big-eared innkeeper.
The innkeeper was more attentive than expected, which made Zhao Yu a little unaccustomed. He got straight to the point and asked where the grocery stores and tailors were in town.
The innkeeper also quickly answered what Zhao Yu wanted to know. Even, how many grocery stores and tailor shops there were in the town, their respective characteristics were supplemented by the boss.
Zhao Yu hurriedly said words of thanks, and the innkeeper also replied with words like 'it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter'.
Since he had seen and heard the innkeeper's enthusiasm, Zhao Yu thought about rewarding him. He took out a gold coin from his clothes and sent it to his boss.
The innkeeper blinked his eyes in surprise, but he didn't mean to shirk it.
Zhao Yu officially handed over the gold coin to the boss, and the boss accepted it unceremoniously. The gold coin was stuffed into his clothes by the boss, and he also made a fist salute and complimented Zhao Yu: "Thank you so much, little brother." On behalf of all the guys at the hotel, I thank you and wish you all the best. ”
Zhao Yu hurriedly waved his hand, and he in turn thanked the innkeeper: "Thank you for pointing me the specific direction of those buildings, otherwise I wouldn't know how to go?"
"Ah, that's fine! Since we have an inn in this town, we are here to provide all the help to the strangers who pass by. Therefore, it is really not a big deal to show the way. ”
"Oh, then I'm leaving. ”
Zhao Yu walked out of the 'Happy Hotel', he only felt that he was relaxed now. Knowing the location of those places, you don't have to look around like a headless fly.
He then began to walk with cheerful steps towards his destination.
Akita Town is much more lively than expected, and the flow of people is like a rushing river, flowing through the streets. The innkeeper revealed that the nearest grocery store was five blocks away. Zhao Yu also looked for the road and approached that way.
However, since he was walking on the street, the scene on both sides naturally had to be walked around! Zhao Yu carried a magic staff, looked here on the street, and looked over there.
Anyway, it's still early, and Shen Mengting didn't say that there was any time limit. So Zhao Yu naturally wanted to play in Akita Town for a while. You know, he's never been to a town other than Vortex Town! Besides, he has so much money on him now, he can really buy whatever he wants.
The playful look had made him almost jump up, and he was as happy as he was.
Passing by a barbecue restaurant, he was attracted by the aroma inside. In the past, when he was in Vortex, he liked to eat meat skewers that were grilled through the heat of the charcoal below. But because he didn't have any money, he couldn't buy it.
Now, he has so many gold coins! Zhao Yu put his hand into his clothes and searched for the touch of the money bag with his fingers.
Shaking his eyes from side to side, Zhao Yu pursed his lips and smiled. Anyway, he nibbled on a white steamed bun all morning, and now it's time to treat himself. He immediately ran to the barbecue shop.
There were a few people in front of the barbecue shop, but the guys in the shop moved very quickly. Within a short time, two or three waiting customers were getting a few fragrant skewers.
Zhao Yu looked at the raw meat skewers placed in the store, and his saliva seemed to be about to flow out.
"Ahh
"Yes, I want it. But how do you sell these?"
"Ten copper coins for a large meat skewer and five for a small meat skewer. The guy replied expertly.
Zhao Yu responded with several 'oh' words in his heart, and after he swallowed his saliva, he responded with a loud tone.
"I want five big skewers. ”
"Okay, five big skewers. The man took five of the larger skewers from the locomotive where the skewers were kept, and handed them to the other guy next to him who was grilling on the charcoal stove.
Looking at the guy who was constantly working on the coal stove operating table, Zhao Yu became full of anticipation. The raw meat skewers passed through the heat of the stove, and the tantalizing sound of 'zing' continued to gush, and their flesh color gradually approached from pale red to deep red.
"Hello, excuse me, sir. Five skewers of meat for a total of fifty copper coins. ”
With a reminder from the guy, Zhao Yu was immersed in the intoxication of the smell of meat. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and pulled a gold coin from his clothes.
"Give you a gold coin. Zhao Yu held the gold coin between his fingers, and raised his arm to light up in front of the guy's eyes.
"What...... What?" the guy opened his mouth wide in jaw, "Kim...... Coins?"
The other customers who were waiting also turned their heads towards Zhao Yu in unison.
"Yes! Gold coins!" Zhao Yu smiled smugly and straightened his back.
"Yes...... But......" the fellow seemed to be a little slurred, as if he had been stumped by something astonishing, "but in the case of gold, we ...... We can't find it here!"
Zhao Yu lowered his arm slightly, and turned his head to look at the gold coin he was holding.
At this time, he also heard many customers whispering, all of them wondering what a boy could do with a valuable gold coin.
But Zhao Yu didn't care, he rubbed the head of his staff on his scalp: "Can't you find it?"
"Yes. I can't give you ninety-nine silver coins of change right away!"
"Then......" Zhao Yu's eyes rolled quickly, "there is no need to look for it." He just threw the coin on top of the guy's head.
This frightened the fellow to quickly tilt his body to the side, and when he raised his head to find the target, he was able to grab the thrown gold coin. But even as he held the gold coin, his hand trembled.
At this time, five large skewers of meat have also been grilled. They were handed over to Zhao Yu together. Zhao Yu sniffed at the meat skewers and bit down on one of them.
For a while, he was intoxicated by the good taste of the meat skewers. He took another bite into the skewers, the word 'delicious' written all over his face, and he began to walk towards the outside of the kebab shop.
Walking up and down, Zhao Yu happily returned to the street.
And the barbecue restaurant was full of people with surprised looks. The guy with the gold coin in his hand flipped his palm upside down. Then, the gold coin is clearly displayed.
The man flashed the gold coin at the people around him, and his mouth never closed.
