Chapter 108: Pooling Money and Donating
Why is it stealthy again? Cheng Qianxun was surprised, still fiddling with beans as if nothing happened. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I'm starving!" Jeffrey, who could only see the clothes, muttered dissatisfiedly.
A flash flashed in her heart, could it be that she would be invisible when she was hungry? So he walked to the side, took a piece of black bread and put it on the plate, put it on the table, and pushed it violently: "Eat a little first, pad your hunger." ”
"I can only eat a little first." Jeffrey's helpless voice came, and it would take some time for the pork chops to be cooked. I saw that the black bread seemed to rise into the air on its own, reached the top of the garment, and then a small piece was missing, and continued to levitate in the air; After a while, a small piece was missing from the edges, and the missing shape was semicircular, like a human bite.
When the third bite came, Jeffrey slowly emerged in the air, and he gulped down and looked indeed hungry.
Cheng Qianxun secretly glanced at the others, and Jeffrey's special ability seemed to have a characteristic, that is, he had to be hungry to show it. No wonder he hasn't been invisible since dinner last night, until now his stomach is empty, and this is another stealth.
At this time, the aroma of pork chops wafted out, and Snead hurriedly added a few handfuls of firewood to the stove, fried a piece first, scooped it up with a spatula and walked to Jeffrey's side, and put the pork chops on the plate: "Oh, let's eat it for you first." ”
"Oh, that's great!" Jeffrey pinched the edge of the pork chop directly with his fingers and took a bite: "It's delicious, I'll want it later." ”
"Okay, okay! Have. Sneijder went back to continue frying pork chops and raised his eyebrows at Cheng Qianxun. It seems that the eyebrows are eyebrows, but in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the best way to keep Jeffrey from making trouble is to fill this kid's stomach.
Snead made pork chops and fried beans, with his own salt sprinkled on top. It was very fragrant, and the large pork chop was also very filling, and everyone sat at the table and ate it in a big gulp.
Rudolph wiped his mouth with a napkin after eating: "Gordon, have you found anything valuable?" ”
"Nope!" Gordon also wiped his mouth: "Give me a little more, and when I'm done, I'll look for it again." There are so many rooms, and half of them have not been turned. ”
"I'll try!" After Rudolph concentrated slightly, a small green cloth pocket appeared in the air. Then it fell on the table with a "pop", and from the sound of it, there seemed to be a metal collision inside.
Everyone's eyes widened. Gordon stood up, grabbed the bag suspiciously, opened it, and was immediately happy. He poured the bag over, and the contents were poured out. It turned out to be a glittering gold coin!
"Oh~!" Snead exclaimed, picked one up, and looked closer, "Is it really a gold coin?" ”
Rudolph picked up two and knocked them on each other, and the gold coins made a crisp sound. Then he looked at it again, and bit it with his teeth: "It's true, the gold is soft, and if it's brass, you can't bite the tooth marks." ”
Gordon stood up and put the gold on the table into the money bag: "What else did I bother to find, why didn't I think of you!" ”
Cheng Qianxun was a little worried: "Where did this gold come from, could it be moved from someone else's family?" ”
"I don't care where it is, now it's the people who sent the church away!" Regel also told the truth that he must first be sheltered by the church before he can sleep well every day.
"I can't use that money bag anymore." Ted, who had been eating silently on the side, spoke: "The first thing to bring in the stolen goods is to destroy the evidence of the crime. ”
Gordon was stunned for a moment, then poured out all the gold coins and threw the green money bag into the fire next to him.
There were four gold coins in total, and according to the prices of the time, one gold coin was equivalent to thirty silver coins, and one silver coin was equivalent to a hundred copper coins. Four gold coins are equivalent to about 200,000 euros of purchasing power.
"I don't know where to exchange it for silver coins." Snead looked at the glittering gold coins and sighed, "Even one for that bastard is too much." ”
Regel thought for a moment and said, "You can take it to the market in the city and find a rich person to replace it, and here, it would be good if those peasants could have two or three silver coins in their lifetime." Or I'll go! ”
"Don't go!" Before anyone could make a statement, Cheng Qianxun immediately stopped her, she didn't want any accidents to happen to Regel: "We are not familiar with medieval Europe, we encounter robbers on the road, we encounter robbers on the road, and we may have tolls to enter the city, what do you pay?" People are one or two copper coins, and as soon as you take them out, they are gold coins, who will you rob if you don't rob them? ”
Gordon felt that made sense, so he said, "It's better not to go." Otherwise, give a gold coin, I don't think the gold is given for nothing, that bastard should be able to help us explain how the dead are resurrected! ”
So all eyes were on Ted...
In the afternoon, the monk came. Seeing him wearing a black hat and a black robe, there was no sense of sacredness at all, but rather a feeling of death.
Of course, he was shocked to see Ted, who had been a corpse in the middle of the yard yesterday afternoon.
"This is my housekeeper's twin brother." Sneijder lied without blinking an eyelid, very presentable, and he pretended to be grief-stricken very well, as if the noble lord treated a domestic slave: "He originally came to visit his brother to see if we were settled." I didn't expect such bad news to happen! ”
Ted's expressionless face is not good, Cheng Qianxun, who was sitting next to him, deliberately made his voice crooked, although I don't know what method Satan used to make him able to translate and speak simultaneously, but as a nobleman from the East, it is not appropriate to speak fluent local dialect after all. She bared her tongue and said, "Poor man, still immersed in grief and unable to extricate himself, refuses to accept the reality that his brother was killed by a wizard. ”
When Ted heard this, he knew, and immediately covered his face and cried: "Brother, brother." This is sad enough, but he must not be able to squeeze out any tears, thunder and no rain, maybe there is a smiling face under the hands that cover his face. Grieving for one's own death is hilarious indeed.
"Oh, may the gods bless his soul!" The monk drew a cross on his chest and bowed his head in prayer: "Amen." ”
Everyone can only follow suit: "Amen! ”
Fortunately, this guy didn't come to eat, otherwise he would have prayed before eating, and he would have to toss the dead.
"You died such a miserable death, thank you monk for burning the wizard to death." Ted finally got into his groove, he knelt down on one leg and kissed the back of the monk's hand repeatedly, "Thank you. ”
"Your brother will go to heaven." The monk was very happy that there were so many devout believers here.
"That's it!" Sneijder, fearing that Ted would make some of the trouble, said to Gordon, "Groom, pull the new butler out." I hope he can recover from his grief as soon as possible, the mess at home is still waiting for him to arrange. Hopefully he'll be as capable as his brother! ”
So Gordon helped the grief-stricken Ted out of the "bereavement".
The next thing was to give the money, and before the monk could ask for it, Snead took out a small cloth bag, which had just been pulled from the upper floor: "Monk, thank you for burning the wizard to death yesterday and coming to our rescue." This is a piece of our heart and I hope you can accept it. ”
The monk looked at the small piece of cloth as if it were a coin in it, and took it with a little disappointment. When he opened it, he saw that the golden coins had turned his eyes golden.
"Oh, loyal cultists, you are being too generous!" The smile on the monk's face could no longer be hidden, and his face, which had been a little fat, was almost crowded into a heap. He was probably embarrassed: "It's not that practical." ”
After all, the hand holding the gold coin stuffed it into his sleeve.
"The extra is our donation to the church." Snead's reverent appearance, if there was a mirror in front of him, he would probably laugh at the sight of himself. He crossed his hands as if in prayer, raised his head slightly, as if the Father was above, and looked extremely worshipful: "Our piety will definitely be blessed by the gods, and we will be blessed with more income." ”
"Of course, of course!" The monk hastened to answer.
Then the monk gave them a copy of the Witch's Hammer, and sprinkled it all over the house and courtyard with holy water. A large wooden sign and a peace charm were hung at the gates, and the place was declared to be a place for the most devout of the faithful.
It was all so funny, but none of them dared to laugh, and they followed the monk with great solemnity to complete the whole activity.
Before the monk was leaving, Regel said to the monk, "Because the affairs of the wizard have disturbed us, and our new butler has been affected by this. Please allow us not to go to church on Sundays, but we will kneel in front of the Bible you left behind to confess. ”
"Listening to doctrine is what every believer should do." The monk who had the money in his hands first made a look of embarrassment, and then he looked very understanding: "But remembering that you have just suffered misfortune, allow you to pray at home." ”
"Oh, monk, we pray not only on Sundays, but every day before we eat and go to bed. Pray when we are in danger, otherwise how can we hide from the murderous sorcerer? Sneijder hastened to add, much to the monk's delight.
After saying that they would continue to support the church in the future, everyone finally gave away the monk with gold coins in his pocket.
Closing the iron door, Ted shook his head repeatedly: "I don't even know what to believe!" ”
Cheng Qianxun looked at him: "Believe in your own good thoughts, it can be regarded as a miracle that you can survive." ”
Jeffrey sneered: "That's also from Mammon." In a sense, we are really what they call servants of the devil. ”
"We are not servants." Cheng Qianxun said with a little sadness: "Satan doesn't need our services, what they want is to see how we survive in the predicament, we are just playthings in the game." ”
There was a moment of silence, and then Rudolph said, "It's not early, let's make dinner." ”
So everyone came back to their senses, as if they had a tacit understanding, and they invariably stopped mentioning unhappy things. The people who chopped wood, cut potatoes, chopped meat, and burned fire and water were busy. (To be continued.) )
