Chapter 39: Settle down
With Bruno's occasional chit-chat, even if he is occasionally disgusted by the perverts in the same car, the boring journey becomes less difficult. Of course, this is only for Heywood, after all, he is a loner now, and he has goosebumps all over his body when he sees Du Yuhan and Kevin bubbling those pink bubbles all day long, and it is best to have someone to chat with him.
But for Du Yuhan, it has become a matter of crying and laughing......
He never knew that Kevin's vinegar strength could be so great!
Ever since he was so engrossed in talking to Bruno that he forgot to go to the river to fetch water, when he came back and saw Kevin's aggrieved little expression, he had a feeling of disaster.
"Han ......" pursed his lips, and Kevin pointed to the empty barrel, "Where's the water?" β
"Uh, I forgot about it." Du Yuhan wiped his nose a little embarrassed, "I'll fight again now-"
"Wait." The body was wrapped around the arms behind him, and Kevin's chin rested on his shoulder, "Where did you just go?" β
Because the two were very close, the conversation, which was originally normal, suddenly filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
The breath hit the sensitive earlobe, Du Yuhan couldn't help but subconsciously shrink his neck and blushed, "I didn't go anywhere, I just chatted with Bruno and them for a while." β
"What did you talk about?" Kevin continues to attack the back of the neck.
"Hmm...... Just, just some homely ......, "I really can't stand Kevin's harassment, Du Yuhan turned around and held the other party's handsome face with both hands." was unsettled by the complaining eyes, and he explained weakly: "Isn't this just going to talk about the next day!" Didn't say anythingβ"
"It's been a long time since you've kissed me." Kevin stared at him aggrieved. "You'd rather talk to a stranger than kiss me."
ββ¦β¦ Didn't you kiss it yesterday? Before he woke up, he was held down by the other party and licked his saliva.
In other words, what is the relationship between chatting and kissing?
"You didn't take the initiative to kiss me." Kevin pouted.
ββ¦β¦ Anyway, it's all kissed, what's the difference who takes the initiative......"
"It's different!" Kevin retorted confidently, with a sad expression, "It's only the first time, you haven't taken the initiative to kiss me for more than ten days." β
ββ¦β¦β
Maya! He thought that this kind of coquettish method would only be used by little girls, who would have thought that Kevin, a big man, would be coquettish to him. The point is, looking at the other party's touching face, coupled with this crying expression, it is really exciting!
The color makes me dizzy, and the ancients don't deceive me!
Looking at Kevin's aggrieved little eyes, Du Yuhan couldn't cry or laugh. Of course, he knew that the other party was pretending to be pitiful, but when he thought about it, although he had identified Kevin, sometimes he really didn't think about the relationship between the two. Since he set out with the caravan, he hadn't taken the initiative to get close to Kevin at all, and he could be so enthusiastic even with a stranger, no wonder he looked at him so sadly.
Well, it was you who ignored it.
The corner they are in now is relatively remote, Du Yuhan smiled and leaned over, "Yes, yes, the little one knows that he is wrong, please forgive me." β
With that, he covered his lips with the other party's, and directly sealed the words that Kevin wanted to say in his mouth.
It was an unusually intense, passionate and sweet deep kiss, until the two parted breathlessly, Du Yuhan found that the greasy smell in the air was too strong to be erased.
"Happy?" Du Yuhan looked at Kevin, who was still holding him in his arms, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Hmm." Kevin opened his eyes contentedly, looked at Du Yuhan's back lightly, and showed a defiant smile.
In the distance, Bruno, who originally wanted to talk to Du Yuhan about something, saw this scene from a distance, was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly and made a gesture of surrender, and quietly left.
So, without Du Yuhan's knowledge, Kevin quietly disposed of a rival in love.
**************
After fifteen days of turbulence, before Du Yuhan's ass was shaken, the group finally came to Fran City.
As a second-class royal city, the prosperity of the city of Fran is much higher than that of the city of Rob. Not only is the architectural style richer, but the street plan is also in order, with orderly buildings on both sides and a wide variety of shops, which is dazzling to see.
Once they settled in the town, they broke away from the caravan. Along with them were the three rogue mercenaries and Bruno with his younger brother.
After saying goodbye to Bruno, who had a good conversation, the three of them planned to find a place to stay. However, this time they did not go to the hotel again, but went directly to the bulletin board of the community to find some small rental advertisements - commonly known as "psoriasis".
The larger the city, the better the standard of living than the average town, which also means that the price of its goods is much higher than in other places. Du Yuhan thought about it, according to their situation, they don't know how long they will live here, it is definitely not cost-effective to stay in a hotel for a long time, it is better to rent a small house, it is cheaper.
He also thought about whether to buy a house here, but they are not familiar with life here, and they don't know what the situation will be in the future, if there is really any emergency, it is not easy to get rid of this kind of real estate in the short term, it is better not to make too much trouble.
Anyway, they still have 800 gold coins in their pockets, although it is estimated that buying a house is not enough to pay a down payment, but they can finally rent a big mansion with three bedrooms and one living room, right?
But after reading several rental information, he found that he was wrong. No matter what time and space it is, the house price is definitely a rigid demand, and in this second-level Wang Chengli, with their current net worth, it is only enough to pay a deposit.
The three of them stopped and went, and finally found a relatively cheap small bungalow in the old town, far away from the city. Although it is a little inconvenient to enter and exit, the environment is relatively quiet, and the neighbors are also some town residents who have lived for many years, and the flow of people is not complicated. They discussed it and happily paid the deposit.
The rent for this small courtyard is relatively cheap, and there is not much furniture in the house, so they have to go out to buy some necessities.
When passing by a vegetable market, Du Yuhan saw many vendors setting up stalls, selling all kinds of meat, vegetables and fruits. Since they fled, they haven't eaten a good meal, and now they have finally settled down, and Du Yuhan, who has certain requirements for life, has begun to toss the gluttonous worms in his stomach again.
He touched his belly and decided that he was going to have a big meal tonight.
So, after carefully inquiring about the taste of various vegetables, Du Yuhan bought a complete set of kitchen utensils, plus a lot of meat and vegetables.
Watching Du Yuhan tossing in the kitchen, according to the curiosity in his heart, Kevin and Heywood waited in the living room for nearly two hours, and he finally came out with a large pot of hot pot ingredients.
Since there was no stove, Du Yuhan could only set up a simple small fire pit in the backyard and put the iron pot on it. It didn't take long for the fire to come up, the soup base was boiling, and the water was boiling from the center upwards, wafting with a fragrant smell that attracted everyone's mouthwater.
"Han, what is this?" Having traveled to so many places, Kevin had never seen such a peculiar dish.
"Hehe, this is the favorite of the Sprinkle family - hot pot." Du Yuhan looked up proudly.
Since coming to this strange world, I have eaten some bread and oats and other foods for every meal, and now I have the opportunity to treat myself, no matter what, I want to have a delicious hot pot. Although it is not yet the season to eat hot pot, you can't ask too much for it under such conditions.
"Hot pot? Haven't heard of it. Heywood looked curiously at the bright red soup base.
Kevin was also absolutely curious, he had never seen meat marinated like this, and for the first time he knew that these scattered seasonings could be cooked together. "How do you eat these raw?"
"Hey, put this in first, and soak it back and forth like this a few times......" After that, Du Yuhan picked up a fork and forked a piece of beef to demonstrate it himself, "Then you can eat it." β
Seeing that Du Yuhan ate vigorously, the others also learned to cook a few times. Fresh meat and tender vegetables tumble in the rich soup base, and even the simplest dipping sauce is appetizing. Eating hot slices of meat, Du Yuhan suddenly felt that life was extremely comfortable.
"Eh, you can't keep this meat shabu for too long, it won't taste good when you're old."
"Potatoes and radishes should be put in first, these two are more difficult to cook......"
ββ¦β¦ That's green onions, seasoning, can't be eaten......"
"You can put the dish last, so as not to absorb all the soup......"
After dinner, Du Yuhan touched his bulging belly and lay on the bed contentedly.
He took out his small money bag, counted the pitiful three hundred gold coins on his body, and sighed lightly.
Oops, it's time to start raising a family...... It seems that we must go out tomorrow to take the commission, otherwise we will starve to death in a few days.
For the days ahead, Du Yuhan is very optimistic.
With their current ability, the high-level tasks will definitely not be able to take over, the intermediate level may be barely okay, and the big deal is to take a few more low-level commissions, and it is okay to add up to a lot. With the price seen today, a junior good will have dozens of gold coins, right? If you do one or two a day, you can have seven or eight hundred a month, and after paying the rent and excluding the food expenses, you should be able to save one or two hundred...... Right?
