Chapter 263: Take a step back, open the sea and the sky
.
The waning moon hangs obliquely on the treetops of the sycamores,.
On the wide cobblestone avenue, you can see some early vendors hawking.
A new day has begun.
Liu Zhenzhen turned his back, lit a cigar to avoid the wind, shook his empty sleeves, strode to a simple stall, and beckoned the boss to hand over a mule sandwich and a bunch of large ** grapes.
Mule meat is also a special snack of the royal city of Shabak, after the Hyjal War, the then Bimeng Kingdom Elders' House in order to rapidly increase the population, once prepared to ban the ancient policy of "intermarriage is not allowed among foreign races", but for the sake of conservatism and prudence, the House of Elders at that time selected the Haus Centaur and the Nadi donkey-headed people, two races with relatively close blood, to carry out interracial marriage experiments in the royal city, and the final result of the attempt was bitter, and the Kingdom of Beamon has since had an additional Mueller mule-headed man who has no fertility.
In addition to directly demonstrating the terrible consequences of interracial marriage, this incident also brought a new source of meat to Shabak------ mules born after crossing horses and donkeys, not only have a short growth cycle, fast fat, and are durable, and the requirements for feed and environment are much lower than those of horses and donkeys, making them excellent meat livestock.
The big ** grape is another specialty of Wangcheng Shabak, and the natural environment of the imperial capital with serious gravelization is very suitable for cultivating grapes. The big **grape is the easiest of all grape varieties to cultivate, without too much care can grow wildly, the grapes produced are shuttle-shaped, a full walnut size, the juice of this grape is a rare milky white, like milk, "big **" This vulgar name is from this, although the big ** grape is juicy, but the fly in the ointment is that the taste is not very sweet.
The geology of the royal city of Shabak is very special, there are many water sources but most of them are bitter water, it is said that this is because Shabak City was built on an underground bitter sea, so it is so; The sweet water eaten by the Beamon Palace is taken from the Qiudao Lake in the Imperial Garden, and most of the hundreds of sweet wells in the city are occupied by the nobles, so the juice of the big ** grapes has become the best choice for the common people of Beamon to quench their thirst, which is also the reason why more than 500 years old tree stands abound in Shabak City.
Squatting on the road, Liu Zhenzhen gulped this civilian breakfast, chewed the big ** grapes in his mouth, and the milky white sweet juice burst out of the pulp can overflow the corners of his mouth, and the faint sweet juice with a slight fruity fragrance is more suitable for Liu Zhenzhen's taste, mule meat and soup, the taste is very fat, with a few celery stalks mixed with cornmeal sandwiches, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, Liu Zhenzhen eats very refreshingly.
He hadn't paid the money yet, and the Garfield vendor couple who sold breakfast from time to time glanced at the guy in the golden sacrificial robe, and deliberately chopped the greasy meat cleaver in his hand.
The hawker couple did not relax their vigilance because Liu Zhenzhen was wearing a golden main sacrifice, and the two of them had never been to the arena to watch the Olympic ceremony, so they naturally did not know the true identity of the Beamon in front of them. In fact, most Shabak civilians have never entered the arena in their lives, and in the face of the pressure of life, ordinary Beamon is not so idle.
The noble sacrificial lords may still come to eat this kind of civilian breakfast, and they may also squat on the side of the road to eat, this kind of vulgar behavior is only suitable for Qi San and not for sacrifices, and more importantly, this is still a crippled Beamon with a missing arm------ in the Beamon Kingdom, once the thief is caught, the most direct punishment is to cut off the arm of the thief who stole things, so the hawker couple unanimously decided that this crippled Beamon is a senior villain who wears a sacrificial robe and swaggers around.
However, the hawker and his wife thought that the liar's equipment was really good, because he actually had a Medusa badge pinned to his chest, and he really didn't know where he bought Xibei......
Liu Zhenzhen felt the strange gaze that the cat people swept over him from time to time, don't look at them, and the hawker couple immediately buried their heads in their own business.
Liu Zhenzhen smiled, lowered his head and continued to compete with the food in his hand, by the way, he weaved an excuse in his mind, there were still two streets away from his inn and hotel, an excuse for not returning overnight was actually very easy to make up, Ning Yu and they must be able to understand, but Liu Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel a little weak after all.
Liu Zhenzhen now thinks about it, and can't even remember when he walked out of Cui Beiqian's door last night, he only feels like a dream, and the only remaining impression in his mind is the wet pillow towel and the deliberately closed teary eyes.
After coming out of Cui Beiqian's place, he went to Gomes's room, and slept with his precious son as a real father would do, when Liu Zhenzhen remembered that he was half-leaning on the bed frame, his mind was messed up, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.
In the early hours of the morning, Liu Zhenzhen woke up suddenly.
In addition to finding that his lap was on the thigh of Gomes, Liu Zhenzhen found that there was an extra nephrite warm and fragrant delicate body in his arms, no need to guess Liu Zhenzhen to know that this little hoof must be Golini, as for when this Nizi ran over last night and slept in his arms, Liu Zhenzhen had no impression at all.
Pulling out the hand that he didn't know when, stroking the white legs that slipped out of the pajamas, the smooth and pink skin touch from the tips of his fingers made Liu Zhenzhen can't help but twist his fingers, which are very slippery, like a layer of prickly heat powder on his fingers, this feeling is very classic.
The sweet sleeping Swan Little Beauty shook her head, muttered a vague word, twisted her body, and lay tightly on the chest of Master Xibei, as if hugging a huge and warm pillow; Under the thin pajamas, Golini's perfectly developed breasts rubbed against Liu Zhenzhen's chest, and Liu Zhenzhen gasped with a "sizzle".
Smelling the virgin fragrance coming from his nose, Liu Zhenzhen took a deep breath, slowly straightened up from the bed frame he was leaning on, carefully picked up Colini and slowly turned over, and put the little swan beauty on the bed.
Jumping lightly on the carpet and looking at the pair of Xibei children sleeping on the bed, Liu Zhenzhen suddenly realized a problem------ the swan clan has always slept on their stomachs in order to protect their wings.
It's so dangerous! Liu Zhenzhen wiped the sweat on his head, fortunately he fell asleep on the bed frame yesterday, if he was lying down, it is estimated that he would be seen through by Golini who came to the door all of a sudden.
After quietly opening the door and tiptoeing out of the room, Liu Zhenzhen knew that it was time for him to run away.
At this time, most people hadn't gotten up yet, but there was already a noise in the kitchen, and Liu Zhenzhen walked over and said hello to a few of the cooks who were washing the floor inside, and asked them to tell the other priests that they were going back to the southwest first.
Before walking out of the Southwest Hall, Liu Zhenzhen stared at the room on the third floor again, the room that left him with unforgettable memories for a lifetime.
I don't know why, Liu Zhenzhen suddenly looked forward to Cui Beiqian coming out to meet him again.
But this wish is not destined to have the possibility of appearing.
Walking out of the gate of the Southwest Hall and quietly turning into a cluster of secluded roses, Liu Zhenzhen ripped off the ring necklace inlaid with two "flounder packs" on his neck, lifted the transformation, and a green light turned into a faded light from his whole body, and was lost in the "flounder pack", Liu Zhenzhen became himself again------ a disabled Beamon with a missing arm and a punk hairstyle.
When the long-lost sense of strength returned to him, Liu Zhenzhen sat on the rose bush full of thorns, and seemed to have collapsed.
Last night, when Cui Beiqian put herself down on the bed and untied the sacrificial robe, Liu Zhenzhen was also afraid, he was afraid that if Cui Beiqian curiously untied this strangler necklace, once she and the "plaice" broke away and lifted the transformation, how would he face her?
Fortunately, Cui Beiqian didn't do that, after the storm, Cui Beiqian just lay quietly in his arms, looking at the moonlight in the dome together, and never said a word again, silent as a lamb.
Looking at the handkerchief in his hand stained with a little red silk scarf, Liu Zhen was speechless for a while, when he walked out of Cui Beiqian's room, his whole person was in an unconscious state of chaos, why did he remember to bring this handkerchief out?
Last night's entire mission deviated from his pre-set trajectory, and Liu Zhenzhen didn't have time or excuse to ask about whether Mourinho and these Medusas had anything to do with the Sea Clan; Giving orders to the two high-level leaders of Caiyucheng with a stern attitude was not Liu Zhenzhen's original intention, and as for everything that happened with Cui Beiqian, it was completely out of his control.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt a headache, he forbade himself to think about it again, and after eating the last bite of the sandwich, Liu Zhenzhen clapped his hands on his robe, stood up, took out a money bag from his pocket, poured out a pile of coins, picked out a silver coin and threw it to the stall owner and his wife.
The cat man and his wife put their hands behind their backs and began to look at the "liar" in front of them, and among the pile of coins poured out of the money bag, there were many yellow gold coins, dazzling their eyes.
The couple took the silver coin and looked at it for a long time, put it in their mouths and bit it vigorously, and finally blew it, resting it on their ears and listening to the loud silver whistle, and checked it several times in succession.
No wonder the boss of the cat man is so cautious, because this is not a silver coin of the Kingdom of Beamon, but a silver louis of the empire of San Francisco; This kind of holy silver louis with a crown embossed on the front and tulips and tassels on the back weighs ten ounces compared to the silver coins of the Kingdom of Beamon, but the holy silver louis is worth twice as much as the silver coins of Beamon------ elegant workmanship and the grain production of the Empire of St. Francis, making the St. Francisco coins a hard currency throughout the continent, and if a counterfeit coin is collected, the peddler will lose money.
"It looks like this crook has a good harvest." After confirming that this was a real silver louis, the little vendor and his wife muttered secretly, wiped their greasy hands, and were just about to look for money, but they didn't expect that the crook had already done it himself, and reached out and took more than a dozen water lilies--floating astronomy--When the duck walked to the door of the hotel, the Fei Leng Emerald warriors had already carried out their daily routine morning exercises, and the sound of iron horses and gold was struck by their strong hands and the fist targets made of iron buckets, and the huge stone was lifted again and again, and the boss came back. All the samurai stopped and the clan swarmed up.
"Two Medusa witch doctors came last night, and they haven't left yet, and they're helping Ichijo and the little parrot upstairs to detoxify." Fat Luo carried two snowy long knives on his bare shoulders, and said happily.
"Boss, what are you carrying in your arms?" Bellamy's nose was pointed, and he smelled the smell of flesh at once, staring at the breakfast wrapped in water lily leaves in the lord's arms.
"If you want to eat, you'll come." The lord walked without stopping, all the way into the door of the inn, and threw a word from afar.
The hotel was full of people, the elven mage Tang Ning was infusing the wind mana, a wall of light jumped up, and the vassals of the Fei Leng Emerald Merchant Clan, Beamon, under the command of Elder Andulan, were entering the Golden Steel Teleportation Array in an orderly manner and retreating back to Fei Leng Cui. The elder didn't talk nonsense with Liu Zhenzhen, but just smiled approvingly, pointed upstairs, and Liu Zhenzhen nodded.
Pulling out his Mithril arm from the bar counter and putting the Newcastle Circlip on it, Liu Zhenzhen opened the scallop jewelry box again, took out the Death Lord Ring, the Crystal Engagement Ring, the Seventh Gold Space Ring and the Bright Heart Ring and put them on his fingers, and put the necklace with the ring embedded in the scallop box in the scallop box. Two butterfly maids flew over, one unbuttoned his robe and took off the robe, and the other served him in a porcupine-skinned shaman's crown.
"Later, we will put all these grapes and sandwiches on a plate, and everyone will share them and eat some together." Liu Zhenzhen fastened his belt and pointed to the two butterfly maids that he had brought back early.
The two maids nodded obediently
Armed and neat, Liu Zhenzhen, before he walked up to the second floor, he heard a burst of collective cheers, and when he went up to take a look, there was a large group of people surrounded by the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor, holding their breath, looking very nervous.
Liu Zhenzhen tiptoed over and hugged Helen from behind, who was nervous to death. Helen was startled, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who was holding her arm.
"How's it going?" Liu Zhenzhen whispered next to Helen's ear.
"The little parrot has just finished detoxifying, and Ichijo will have to wait a little longer." Helen leaned into Liu Zhenzhen's arms with a smile, and wrapped her furry tail around Lao Liu's ankles, up and down.
Ning Yu, Mo'er and the two fairy dragons were standing opposite, and at this time, they also saw Liu Zhenzhen, and they all smiled with thin eyes, and their eyes were full of indescribable gentleness; The little parrot was helping Mo'er comb her hair with a hooked beak, and as soon as she saw the boss, she immediately flew over and landed on Liu Zhenzhen's shoulder, and obediently used her hooked beak to help the boss comb her long punk hair------ which is the most pleasing place for the little beast.
Ichijo's expression and posture at this time were very strange, lying on a table with his head up, his nose facing the ceiling, he didn't dare to move, Guoguo and the two blood babies sat on his belly, the belly gongs and drums of "Oriental Bo Longdong" were beating one after another, and the two Medusa witch doctors standing next to him were already old, with a nervous and serious face, his eyes were full of red and bloodshot, his eyes did not leave Ichijo for a moment, and asked from time to time: "Where does it feel?" ”
Liu Zhenzhen was also a little nervous standing on the side, he didn't know what this poison-eating Gu was, and as for the efficacy, he didn't know it even more, seeing that Yi Tiao seemed to be quite painful, Liu Zhenzhen's heart was terrified.
After Ichijo finally answered the two Medusa witch doctors to his throat, one of the Medusa witch doctors immediately lit a pampa stick and gently shook it back and forth under Ichijo's nostrils, and after a while, Ichijo's nostrils widened, and slowly stretched out a few golden beards, and the other witch doctor quickly took out a glass bottle and put it under Ichijo's nose.
With the smell of medicine that permeated the burning of the pu stick, a yellow centipede-like creature stretched out one of the nostrils wide, and squeezed out of the nose, and the "Bu Tong" rushed into the transparent glass bottle, and the Medusa witch doctor immediately closed the cork.
Liu Zhenzhen looked hairy all over his body, the centipede-like thing in the glass bottle, like a water spider, and like a stick insect, full of golden light, with more than a dozen thin and long arthropods, but there was a mantis-like triangular head, and the eyes were red and red, like a red-hot soldering iron.
"Damn!" One by one, he rolled over and sat up, scratching his throat and retching for a while, spitting out a pile of water.
"Does this count as detoxification?" Liu Zhenzhen didn't quite understand the situation: "Is the worm in this bottle what kind of poison-eating Gu is?" ”
"That's right! That's what tossed me up and down in my belly all night!" Boss Ichijo nodded, pointing to the two Medusa witch doctors and said.
"If you don't travel all over your body, can the Poison Gu clean up all the toxins in your blood?" The Medusa witch doctor spoke in a strong tone.
"One, don't tell me you swallowed this centipede-like thing in your stomach." Liu Zhenzhen laughed to death: "This thing is disgusting, and it's really hard for you." ”
"Nope!" Ichijo shook his head: "When I swallowed the ground, it was as black as a silkworm seed, how did I know that it was such a big thing to drill out." ”
"One article~" Ning Yu looked at this cheap and well-behaved flamingo with disgust, and then smiled apologetically at the two Medusa witch doctors: "Don't be surprised by the two masters, Jade Mining City can help selflessly, and we are still very grateful for it." ”
"There's nothing to be polite about, we're doing what we're told." A Medusa witch doctor sneered, "Now that the poison eating Gu of the two of us is scrapped, I really don't know if it's your luck or our bad luck." ”
Hearing Medusa Witch Doctor say this, Ning Yu was a little embarrassed: "In this way, in order to make up for the loss of the two masters, Fei Lengcui can give the two of them a little proper compensation...... You see......"
"Save it!" Another Medusa witch doctor looked up to the sky and smiled, and there was irrepressible resentment in his tone: "Compensation? What do you pay? Our poison-eating Gu is a natal Gu! You can only cultivate one in a lifetime! Have you lost your land? ”
"Hehehe...... What can I do if I don't compensate you? Ichijo sneered three times, and leaned at the two Medusa witch doctors: "It's cured, it's cured, what's the nonsense?" I warn you both, don't make yourself unhappy!"
"You ......" The two Medusa witch doctors were almost stunned, what is it called crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the two of them finally understood.
"Two masters, don't be angry, that's what he says, don't be too surprised." Liu Zhenzhen grabbed the two snake man witch doctors who were about to leave with their sleeves gone: "Since Ning Yu has already said that he will compensate you, I will definitely fulfill my promise." ”
"Your Majesty Richard, the two of us are not greedy for money!" The face of the witch doctor who was pulled by his arm turned red, and he looked back at Liu Zhenzhen angrily: "Do you think that money alone can buy poison Gu?" Is it ......?"
"Alright, alright! It's a bit vulgar to give you money. Liu Zhenzhen immediately interrupted the chatter of the Medusa witch doctor: "I think so, I am going to entrust the second and third young to Tang Belkina to take care of for a few months, what do you think?" ”
Hearing this, the two Medusa witch doctors froze, and one also froze, and several proprietresses looked even more surprised and incredulous.
The second and third young men were still innocently lying on one belly, beating belly gongs and drums, and Guoguo, who was wearing a turban, stared wide-eyed, and looked at Liu Zhenzhen with his mouth open.
"How?" Liu Zhenzhen impatiently asked the two Medusa witch doctors: "If it doesn't work, just give me a word!"
The two Medusa witch doctors had their heads like chickens pecking rice.
Guoguo lifted the second and third shao, jumped off the table with a "whoosh", and ran away.
"This ......" The two Medusa witch doctors looked at Guoguo's back in a daze, and then looked up at Liu Zhenzhen.
"You don't need to worry about that." Liu Zhenzhen put his finger in his mouth and whistled, Guoguo's little head peeked out from the corner of the staircase, and when he saw Liu Zhenzhen hooking his finger at it, Guoguo hung his head and reluctantly resisted the two blood babies from the corner of the wall.
"You also know that I'm about to go to the battlefield, and I will hand over the second and third young to their godmother Tang Bellkina, and I am more at ease, bring a message to Don Bellkina for me, after I come back from the battlefield, I will go to pick up the child again. But in the future, if she misses the child, she can just come and take the two of them back to live for a while, and I can give a minimum guarantee that every year in the future, the second and third young will be able to stay by her side for at least half a year. Liu Zhenzhen lovingly stroked the little parrot standing on his shoulder, and said to the two Medusa witch doctors: "In addition, you two sincerely apologize to Don Belkina for me, if it weren't for helping to push the palace blood, she wouldn't have been hit by 'Bloody Marie'." ”
"We'll bring the words for you." The Medusa witch doctor was old, and he immediately regained his composure, and nodded to the Divine Comedy Shaman with great certainty, but there was already a bit of respect in his eyes.
There was a brief silence all around, followed by applause, first Ning Yu, then several other proprietresses, and finally the two Medusa witch doctors.
"Take the ground and put it down, this is my Richard." Ning Yu looked at Liu Zhen with great relief, just like Cui Beiqian looked at last night when she heard Lao Liu's order to send two witch doctors to detoxify Yijo and the little parrot.
When Liu Zhenzhen heard this, the thick skin of the city wall couldn't help but turn red.
"What take the ground and put it down? No way! What is this for? Ichijo looked at the two, then at the second and third young, and then at his boss: "Are you planning to share your son with them?" ”
"You know the! Children are easy to raise by eating hundreds of meals. Liu Zhenzhen smiled: "In my hometown, if you are afraid that children will not be raised, they are used to letting them worship a stone as a godfather since they were young, so that the child's life will be hard, or these two children will also recognize you as a godfather, it is said that you have a life of 9,999 years old." ”
"That's a good idea." Ichijo smiled: "Don Belkina is the godmother of the two of them, and I am the godfather of the two of them......"
Ning Yu pretended to cough, laughed dryly, and the witticisms below that took advantage of the oil were swallowed into his stomach.
"Helen, help me call the two Biao warriors over, and let the two of them accompany the second and third young men to be personal bodyguards." Liu Zhenzhen said to the little fox beside him.
Helen nodded, and immediately went downstairs.
"The two of us didn't waste the poison Gu in vain." A Medusa witch doctor wiped his eyes and choked up.
"If you want to thank you, go back to Xie Tang Belkina!" Liu Zhenzhen reiterated again: "Do you two remember my words clearly?" In the future, the second and third young can go to your place to play, but it doesn't mean that they will stay there all the time and not leave, this is my bottom limit!"
"Remember...... I remember it...", the two Medusa witch doctors nodded hurriedly.
"Let's go, I'll take you both down." Liu Zhenzhen picked up Er Shao and put it on his shoulder, hugged Er Shao in his arms with one hand, and said to the two witch doctors.
As soon as Liu Zhenzhen sent the two witch doctors out of the gate of the hotel, he saw Helen at the door talking to the four Biaoren warriors, and the Biaoren warriors shook their heads like rattles, with a face full of embarrassment.
"! Didn't the four of you want to be bodyguards behind the two young masters? Liu Zhenzhen raised his chin and asked the four Biaoren warriors with a displeased expression.
"Your Majesty, you should know that our duty is to protect the safety of Helenlan's land....." The warrior Gullet snorted.
"The second and third young are also my sons! What's the difference between protecting both of them and protecting me? Helen's face was furious: "Since the four of you are unwilling, so assertive and shrewd in resistance, from tomorrow, you should go back to the 'Zuo Legion', what do I want to do with a guard like you?" ”
"Arashi, how dare we go against your will!" The four Biaoren warriors immediately fell to their knees on one knee and said tremblingly: "Your honor and disgrace have been directly linked to our lives since the first day we followed you, please take back what we said to let us go, and please forgive us for being presumptuous just now, because it is out of true loyalty." ”
Helen sighed and shook her head as she looked at the four Biaoren warriors.
"Second young, third young, how about Daddy send you to live with your beautiful mother for a while?" Liu Zhenzhen held the two blood babies in his arms and incensed their faces fiercely.
"It's okay to let that beautiful mother take you to our house for a few days." Ning Yu also hurriedly said.
"Daddy, are you really going to war?" The second young man grabbed Lao Liu's beard and slid into the air like a slide from his shoulder, like a bear hanging from a eucalyptus tree, swinging around.
"Of course." Liu Zhenzhen also lifted Sanshao into the air, Sanshao grabbed his other beard, giggled, and also hung in the air and swinged his beard.
"I want you to bring me a lot of good food and toys when you come back." Er Shao shook his little head and said.
"No problem." Liu Zhenzhen laughed: "Daddy will catch a grasshopper for one of you when the time comes, and raise it in the autumn gourd, and in winter, we will listen to the grasshopper together." ”
"Deal." Sanshao tugged on his father's beard, leaned over to Lao Liu's chin and kissed him.
By the way, the current economic form of the Aegean continent is still very primitive, and it is impossible to use gold as a hard currency and financial reserve like today's society, which should have been grain at that time.
Even in the modern Republic of China, a stone of grain can still be used as currency, so the San Francisco Empire, which occupies the grain-producing area of the Great Plains of Karimdo, should have a higher monetary value than the Kingdom of Beamon, just as the current renminbi is more valuable than the yen... Hehe...
I write things, I like to focus on explaining a little bit of customs, I don't know if everyone is bored...
