Chapter 5: The Awkward Morning Glory
After some discussion, Zhou Ruohao finally agreed to go to the territory of the Night Stalker Clan with the five daughters, hoping that the elders of the clan could come up with a solution. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"When you get to the Night Stalkers, you'll have to pay back the commission as soon as possible." Snow Lotus didn't forget to remind.
"Woman, your life's events have been put into it, why do you still care about money?" Sesame seeds are served by popping millet again.
"Humph!" Zhou Ruohao didn't even look at Xue Lian. Don't say that he has no money on him now, even if he has money, he won't pay it back.
A man and five young women went on the road together, which was very beautiful in the eyes of others, and many men even showed envy. Although men in the mainland are inferior to women, it costs money to raise women, and a man who can afford to raise five girls must be a nobleman, an old man!
No, the six of them rested in a small teahouse and were treated with extraordinary hospitality by the owner.
"Great nobleman, please inside! Be careful, the ground isn't very flat here. The old shopkeeper bent down and retreated, introduced Zhou Ruohao into the store, and almost lay on the ground to make a carpet for him.
"Reward." Zhou Ruohao threw out a gold coin in a rare good mood, and then successfully saw the expression of a certain rich slave head gritting his teeth.
This morning glory, obviously has money on it, but it still owes a hundred gold coins and does not pay it back! Xue Lian glared at Zhou Ruohao angrily. Obviously, I want to repay the debt. Do you want to trick them into going to the base camp of the Night Stalkers, do you want to kill all five of them there? Thinking of this, Snow Lotus hated this delicate morning glory named Zhou Ruohao even more, but unfortunately none of the members of the group were willing to listen to her, and they all regarded morning glory as a good person.
Frankly speaking, Zhou Ruohao has all the food and lodging all the way, if it is not considered the entanglement of the two sides, he is indeed a gentleman. But whenever Xuelian asks him for money, he always finds a reason to excuse herself, and there is a reason from beginning to end, but it does make her very unhappy. She remembered that when Zhou Ruohao first paid for the money, the two had the following conversation:
"Morning glory, you obviously have money, why don't you pay it back?"
"Because I only have a hundred gold coins, I will have no money to give you. It's still far from the territory of the Night Stalkers, do you want to feed me all the way, Captain? ”
"You want to be beautiful. I'm not going to let you eat and drink for nothing. ”
"That's it. Eat me, drink me, and get money when you get to the place, what a good thing. ”
That's right, that's what she thought at the time. But after walking for seven days, Zhou Ruohao lived in the best restaurant, ate the best dishes, and used the best items, not to mention a hundred gold coins, even a thousand gold coins couldn't help him spend like this. It's clear that this morning glory doesn't want to pay back! Snow Lotus thought viciously, and then spent his money even more viciously, but...... He just can't spend all his money (convex-_-convex).
Can't go on like this, Xue Lian refuses to go to the night owl clan base camp in her heart, since she has decided that she must get a hundred gold coins and run away. his other half, his night owls. Although I don't know why Zhou Ruohao used such a lame excuse, she won't believe it.
After making up her mind, Xue Lian looked for Zhou Ruohao again, because she wanted to succeed at one time, her tone softened a lot: "Zhou Guiren! ”
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ruohao still looked unfazed.
"I feel very unwell these days, probably because I am in a hurry to hurry, I think I need to find someone who understands medicine to see, and take care of it......
"Isn't that pink-haired person in your mercenary group who knows medical skills?"
"Uh...... She...... The medical skills are not good, and she can't see my problem well. The most important thing you need is to rest, and then spend a lot of gold coins to buy some good things to make up for it. It costs a lot of gold. You see...... Could it be better to pay the 100 gold coins first? ”
"I didn't have that much gold with me. But I know the owner of the biggest pharmacy here, if you really need good things to replenish your body, let's go together, you take things and I'll sign the bill, and then the money will be deducted from the reward of 100 gold coins. ”
"No need." Snow Lotus stubbornly refused. I didn't expect this morning glory to be so good at tai chi, it seems that if you want to get money, you have to rely on the strength of the team. Sesame they can't count on it, so they still have to find her diehards......
******
"Shhh......hh Ahcao! Are we good sisters? ”
"yes, what's wrong?"
"I think there's a big problem with that morning glory. You see, he has money, but he doesn't pay us back a hundred gold coins, and he clearly wants to trick us into their base camp. ”
"However, he said that it was because your blood was stained on his soul jade and became his nominal wife, so you have to go back with him to see if there is a solution, otherwise the matter will be a big deal."
"You believe his word too!?"
And he said, I am for thy good. Although his words are not very credible, your blood has obviously melted into the soul jade, and it is true that his face changed greatly at that time. I just want to go to the Night Stalkers to find out if it will have any effect on you, and I won't be relieved if I don't find out. ”
"Ah Cao, I know you are good for me, but I am healthy now, and I can eat and sleep. If we go to the Night Stalkers, who knows what will happen, we should hurry up and grab that morning glory and force him to return the hundred gold coins to us, and then we will run away immediately, shall we? ”
"Not good."
"Grass ...... You want to do this and that...... You can't ...... that."
Xue Lian talked for most of the day, drank three pots of tea, and her voice was almost hoarse when she talked about it, but Orchid Cao still simply replied to her with two words: not good. So, she gave up.
******
After resting for the night, the five girls followed Zhou Ruohao and began to hurry leisurely. Looking at Zhou Ruohao's situation, if he can go for a year, he will definitely not go for half a year. Seeing that he said urgently before leaving, what is urgent, he must go back immediately, and it is bluffing to think about it. Thinking of this, Xue Lian was even more angry, in addition to being angry, she originally wanted to spend Zhou Ruohao's money, but unfortunately I don't know if this morning glory suddenly opened up, he actually said that in the future, all expenses except for food and lodging will be deducted from a hundred gold coins. This Xue Lian didn't dare to spend money casually - after all, a hundred gold coins was much stronger than a mess of things plus sesame N+1 popcorn.
"Okay, I'm really tired from traveling today, why don't we take a break in this open and charming place, have lunch, take a nap, and then continue walking." Zhou Ruohao said.
At this time, it was less than three hours before they left the inn in the morning, and the food they brought with them was still hot. And looking at Zhou Ruohao's posture, he really has the meaning of leading the five women to play in the mountains.
The five girls did not respond to him, but they all dismounted. Nowadays, there are very few tame and gentle horses on the mainland, most of them are war horses with sharp attack horns on their heads, and some are winged flying horses, all of which are fierce and difficult to train, and there are strict requirements for knights to control such horses, so most of them can only be owned by powerful consortiums or armies.
Most of the horses used by the people are needed by merchants, and the strength of the driver is not strong, and this kind of less aggressive horses are horses used by merchants to transport goods, collectively known as merchant horses.
The five women sat in a circle and laughed, but they all agreed that this place was just a little less windy and snowy, and as for what was not charming, they really couldn't feel it. The north is covered with snow all year round, and sleet is a common thing, so the green plants here are very rare, and there are more bare trunks with frozen branches and leaves as hard as ice, but there is a bit of a cactus feeling.
"Well, look there......" Xue Lian shouted, pointing in the direction the crowd had come.
Before Sesame opened his mouth, he first popped a millet over: "Woman, what tricks do you want to play?" ”
"Don't hit me yet, there's someone over there." Snow Lotus was very aggrieved.
"Come on, it's our business." Sesame said that he still hadn't forgotten to make intimate contact with their leader's head.
"It's the woman I met last time in the sclerophyll forest who doesn't know the hearts of good people...... It's the woman who is pestering Morning Glory. In order to prevent her head from being hurt again, Xuelian stood up and deliberately took two steps away from Sesame.
"Really!?"
Now not only Sesame, everyone else stood up - including Zhou Ruohao, he also heard the conversation of the five women, but his face was very ugly now, and he had begun to think about it in his heart, and at the same time, he was regretting how he was in such a slow hurry, causing the kraft candy to stick again.
"Noble! Zhou Guiren! ”
Sure enough, it was the woman who followed Zhou Ruohao next time last time, I really don't know how she, a woman with a weak appearance, found Zhou Ruohao.
"Morning glory, it's your good look!" Orchid grass is probably the only one who doesn't have a scheming. She has always been headed by Snow Lotus, and Snow Lotus's name for Zhou Ruohao is recognized as Zhou Ruohao's name in her heart.
When the six of them were thinking about it, the woman had already walked to Zhou Ruohao's side, and she was very affectionate and held him to ask this and that, as if the two were such good friends, and they couldn't see Zhou Ruohao's expression of wanting to throw her out.
"Can you still keep up?" Zhou Ruohao looked at it. He didn't dare to underestimate this woman anymore, although he had always thought that she was a harmless poor woman, and it was because of this that he would save her. Now it seems that this woman should have approached him for a purpose, so it is even more necessary to get rid of her. Not to mention that he now has more important things to do.
"Noble! The slave family is guided by the longing for you. Maybe this is what readers often say, 'the heart is clear', and the two of us really have this fate. The woman smiled delicately, and threw Zhou Ruohao a look that was so soft that it could drip water. She is indeed beautiful, not the kind of attraction that is simply attractive. There are many women like her, and you can find a lot of them if you look carefully. But she is beautiful in temperament and movement. That smile, a sentence with a kind of god, a man who is a little undetermined will be fascinated by it.
"You better stop going around in circles with me. Just tell the truth what your intentions are, I'm not a person who pities the jade, if you don't seize this opportunity, don't blame me for being rude. Zhou Ruohao said and observed the woman, trying to see something from her face, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.
"Noble! The slave family really doesn't have any disadvantages to the nobles. The slave family really admires the nobles, and only hopes to be able to follow the nobles, even if it is a maid, at least so that the slave family can see the nobles every day, serve the nobles, and do a little bit of the slave's heart. The woman turned her head sideways as she spoke, and then she found the five Snow Lotus, and couldn't help but complain again: "No wonder the noble man refuses to let the slave family be by his side, it turns out that the noble man already has so many sisters and sisters around him." It seems that the last time I was in Ye Forest, I was afraid that it was also a scene co-starred by nobles and sisters and sisters. ”
"This girl, you can't have such a rich imagination. We are both innocent and have no involvement. No, it's still somewhat related, we are his creditors. Xue Lian spoke up. If it was just Zhou Ruohao and the woman, she wouldn't pay attention to anything, and she was happy to watch the excitement, but seeing the woman bring the five of them in, she thought about it so naturally, thinking that the five of them were Zhou Ruohao's girls, then she couldn't bear it.
"This sister, the slave family's surname is Shan, and her nickname is Huijie." The woman bowed slightly to the five women.
"This noble girl, what about the matter between you and Morning Glory, you can solve it yourself. Don't use it to get close to us, what sisters and sisters, we are famous on the road - the Berserk Goddess Mercenary Group! Snow Lotus made up her mind not to wade into the troubled waters of the man and woman.
"Berserk Goddess!?" The woman Shan Huijie finally showed some surprise.
She seemed to have heard of the only female mercenary group in the North. But this kind of information is not what she, an ordinary woman, should know. After all, the reason why the Berserk Goddess Mercenary Group is famous is not because of how powerful they are, but because they are the only female mercenary group, they have attracted the attention of some well-intentioned people. Normal mainland men have a contemptuous look when they first hear the Goddess of Rage, because the status of mainland women is very low, not to mention these women who want to compete for status with men, which is even more ridiculous. Normal mainland women are very surprised when they hear it, and the reason is still the one above.
Zhou Ruohao saw her reaction in his eyes, the reason why he knew Shan Huijie was only because her parents were seriously ill, she knelt at the door of the pharmacy and begged for medicine and was seen by him, at that time it was just out of kindness to help her, although in the end her parents died of serious illness one after another, leaving her alone as a woman, she said that she was going to seek refuge with her relatives in the distance, and she happened to be on the same road with him. On the way, he tried various methods: leave the word and go first; deliberately drifting apart; Pretending to be hijacked...... But she was able to find him every time.
"Why, you've heard of our name too!" Xue Lian couldn't help but feel proud.
"Sort of. Your parents used to have a relationship with you. Shan Huijie knew that Zhou Ruohao was suspicious of her because of this, but she admitted it calmly.
"What origin?" Sesame asked curiously.
"When your regiment was first established, you came to my house to spend the night." Shan Huijie said.
"Ah...... We have never stayed in the homes of ordinary people, can you remember wrong......" Xue Lian shook her head repeatedly, but she was immediately pulled by Sesame, and the two girls made eye contact, as if they remembered some unpleasant memories, so they stopped talking.
