Chapter 7: The Troupe
Zhang Tian took a big sip and asked the uncle, "Uncle, when are you going to pick up the task?" Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The uncle had already drunk three or four bottles of wine at this time, his whole face turned red, and he said to Zhang Tian drunkly: "Don't worry, you haven't entered into our team yet, wait a while to go upstairs to go through the procedures for our team." Uncle pointed to the staircase that led upstairs.
Zhang Tian looked at the dark staircase and stabbed the uncle next to him with his arm: "Uncle, do you know the group of people who went up just now?" ā
"Ugh. I don't know, but the leader is a master, and he is still a member of the army, and his official position is quite high. ā
Zhang Tian raised his eyebrows: "Uncle, how do you know?" ā
The uncle sniffed and said, "I smell it with my nose, the killing breath on my body, the smell of blood is too strong." And in addition to those few places, there are only those who are left in the army on the battlefield. The few people who went up just now obviously couldn't be the people from those places, so the people from the army were left. ā
"Uncle, when can you take me to handle it?"
"No, let's wait until I'm done drinking this bottle of wine."
"Drunkard." Zhang Tian drank it dissatisfied, watched it inside the mercenary group, and waited for the uncle to finish drinking.
Soon, the group of people came down from upstairs, and the uncle drank the last drop of wine at the same time, so he took Zhang Tian upstairs to go through the formalities of joining the team. Then a group of them drank heavily in the mercenary group until dark. At night, Zhang Tian also followed them to the same residence.
Early the next morning, two noisy children's voices hovered in Zhang Tian's room.
A voice sounded, "Brother Xiaotian, get up." Then another voice sounded: "Brother Xiaotian, get up." ā
"Brother Xiaotian, if you don't get up again, breakfast will be eaten by everyone."
"Brother Xiaotian, if you don't get up again, breakfast will be eaten by everyone."
Zhang Tian rubbed his temples painfully: "Xiaoxi, Xiaoice, don't quarrel, my brother is still faint!" ā
"No, Uncle said, if you want the two of us to get you out of bed, and we're allowed to do whatever you do. So brother, get up quickly, or we'll do something bad." ā
"yes, we're going to do something bad."
Zhang Tian slowly stood up, looking at Xiao Xi and Xiaoice who had been running around in his room, he was really helpless.
So Zhang Tian decided to get up and send Xiaoice and Xiaoxi away: "Xiaoice, you take Xiaoxi down, and my brother will come later." ā
Xiaoice: "No, the uncle said that if Brother Xiaotian doesn't get up, we won't go down." ā
Xiaoxi: "Yes, if Brother Xiaotian doesn't get up, we won't leave." ā
Zhang Tianmeng's quilt was lifted, revealing his body hidden under the futon. The two were stunned by Zhang Tian's sudden surprise, and then Xiao Xi suddenly pointed at Zhang Tian and shouted, "Ah, Brother Xiao Tian is a hooligan." ā
Zhang Tian crossed his waist and looked at Xiaoice and Xiaoxi angrily: "I know that my brother is playing hooligan, why don't you go down quickly, why are you still staying here!" ā
Xiaoice ran out with her sister Xiaoxi, shouting as she ran: "Brother Xiao Tian plays hooligan, Brother Xiao Tian plays hooligan...". Xiao Xi also shouted with Xiaoice, completely forgetting what he had just seen, and just became happy.
Zhang Tian listened to the voices of Xiaoice and Xiaoxi all the way downstairs, and couldn't help but have a headache again: "I really blame myself for being cheap, I will be laughed at again this time." ā
Fang Zheng himself had been woken up and couldn't sleep, Zhang Tian simply got up, washed upstairs and got dressed, and then went to the first floor of the inn.
At this time, the first floor was already full of people, and all the people of the mercenary team that he had joined last night were sitting here. There are some people I didn't see yesterday, but all the people I met yesterday are here, and the uncle captain is also eating breakfast here. Zhang Tian walked down the stairs, and someone looked up at Zhang Tian, and they all greeted Zhang Tian with a bad smile. Zhang Tian saw the expressions of their group of people, and his face twitched: It seems that these two little ghosts are really big mouths.
Zhang Tian walked in front of everyone with a little stage fright and found an empty seat to sit down. I consciously picked up a bun on the table and ate it, which was also to relieve my embarrassment of being looked at by everyone's strange smile.
Zhang Tian hadn't eaten two bites yet, and a powerful palm slapped Zhang Tian's back. "Poof." Zhang Tian was caught off guard by this palm, and slapped it and spit out everything he ate in his mouth.
"Alas, what's the matter, how did it get like this with a light tap?"
Zhang Tian wiped his mouth clean, looked up and found that it was the captain's uncle who patted him, Zhang Tian drank saliva and cleaned his mouth and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't notice that you were here just now, uncle." ā
When the uncle heard Zhang Tian's explanation, he instantly became serious: "What's the matter, don't you know that the most basic thing to be a mercenary is to be vigilant?" Why can't you even do this basic thing, how can you go out with us in the future. ā
"This," Zhang Tian was stunned by the uncle, and couldn't help but curse himself in his heart: I was too careful to observe the people in front of me just now, and I only paid attention to everyone's expressions, and it didn't matter about other things. This is really a bad thing, and it's not going well!
When this Zhang Tian was still talking to himself in his heart, the uncle's face suddenly turned into a treacherous smile, and the uncle hugged Zhang Tian: "Boy, just now I heard Xiaoice and Xiao Xi say that you are playing hooligan alone upstairs, and I heard that you are still wearing blue... Hey, hey, hey. ā
After Zhang Tian heard what the uncle said, he was angry and embarrassed, but at most he couldn't tell who this group was. Even such a mature captain is like this, Zhang Tian thinks about the days to come, and he feels that he has some fun. However, the uncle only made a slight joke, and he didn't embarrass Zhang Tian anymore, but everyone couldn't help but laugh twice when they saw Zhang Tian. And the two people who were familiar with Zhang Tian last night, one was tall and thin, and the other was tall and fat, and when he laughed, his eyes couldn't see, and he came to Zhang Tian's side. The skinny brother patted Zhang Tian: "Brother, what do you say is the matter with you, why are you even bullying children?" As soon as Zhang Tian wanted to speak, the tall and fat man picked up: "Don't say it, we won't take it seriously when the child says it." Hurry up and have breakfast, and we'll set off when we're done. ā
Zhang Tian: "Brother Lei, what are you talking about, why are you about to set off so soon?" Got all the tasks? How do I not know to fight? ā
The tall and thin snatched a braised egg in front of Zhang Tian and took a bite: "I went to get it early this morning, who let you sleep until now before you get up?" ā
The tall and fat one snatched a meat bun in front of Zhang Tian and stuffed it into his mouth: "Xiaofan." This can't be blamed on Xiao Tian, who knew that he couldn't drink so much, and he collapsed after only two jars. This amount of alcohol is too bad, and we will have to help Xiaotian practice more in the future. ā
"That's right, Brother Lei, we..." While saying this, the tall and thin little fan reached out and grabbed a piece of cake from Zhang Tian, Zhang Tian just silently took the breakfast in front of him into his arms, not giving the two of them any chance to grab it. When Xiao Fan consciously took his hand back, Zhang Tian motioned to the tall and thin Brother Fan: "Brother Fan, you continue." ā
The tall and thin Brother Fan and the tall and fat Brother Lei saw that there was nothing to eat here, so they got up and said, "That, Xiaotian, we won't disturb you for breakfast, and we'll clean up after eating." I'll meet at the door later. With that, the two of them left.
Zhang Tian saw that the two of them had left, so he ate breakfast with peace of mind. In order to relieve the discomfort of a big being, Zhang Tian added a few more cakes and buns, and Zhang Tianzhi hiccuped before stopping.
After breakfast, Zhang Tian went back to the room to clean up, in fact, it turned out that the bag and stick he carried when he came came were carried again.
At the door of the inn, the people in the team were ready, because this was a provincial place, so the talisman beasts or beast mounts that ordinary people were tamed were not allowed to be brought into the city, so there were three carriages at the door. Everyone was moving their things to the car, although there were not many things, but there were more than a dozen people here, and the three carriages were crowded.
The carriage drove to the gate of the west city of the capital city and stopped, and at this time, four people walked out of a small bamboo hut not far from the gate of the west city and came to the captain's uncle: "Captain, you are here." They're all fed, their equipment is set up, and they're ready to go. ā
The captain of the uncle looked up at the sun, counted the time, and then waved his hand at everyone: "Hey, everyone move everything down, we will rest here now, and wait here for our employer." ā
Everyone was busy for a while, and they moved all the things on the cart, and the carriage also went back to the city after everyone had finished moving their things. After moving, everyone quickly took out a long blanket and spread it on the ground, took out some wine and dried goods, and ate them on the spot. Zhang Tian looked at them, from the uncle's order to the current casual action of drinking and eating meat, he did not hesitate at all, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your speed is too fast, it is obvious that you must do this often, you mercenaries are really enjoying it." ā
The master's brother Fan educated Zhang Tian: "Hey." You're laughing at us. Let me tell you Xiaotian, as a mercenary, you are for freedom and happiness. Naturally, we need to learn how to be happy faster, otherwise we will be mercenaries for the sake of being mercenaries, and then there will be no point in our lives. ā
The fat Brother Lei also received: "Xiaotian, you have just joined us, although I don't know if you understand mercenaries or not, but I don't care what you thought of mercenaries before, now you have joined us." So, I have to tell you right now, the highest purpose of our team is: fun, freedom, and adventure. Hahaha, let's toast together so that we can drink happily... ā
"Cheers." Everyone cheered and raised their glasses.
The uncle also came over at this time, looked at his teammates, and said happily to Zhang Tian: "Xiaotian, this is our team, this is our style, but I can't be mistaken, you are the same kind of person as us, you will definitely like our team." Come on, it's time for us to have a pre-mission party, and you can't just stand here and watch us and drink with us. ā
Zhang Tian laughed, he had been in Moxuan Academy for so many years, maybe what he pursued was this feeling of freedom, and the happiness of these people also infected Zhang Tian. Why don't you just be happy, so I went to drink with them.
