Chapter 165: The Stingy Old Man
After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, the three girls had gone shopping with the other female compatriots, and there was only a group of crooked men and a bug pretending to be dead in the house. (VIII)(1) 』 Chinese Net*.┡81.
"Hey, hey, don't be lazy" I kicked Loki and the others' butts: "I said, who's okay with my brothers, go shopping with me and buy something?" ”
"Don't go," Billy said.
"I didn't sleep well yesterday, sleepy," Jackson said.
"I'll clean the toilet in a while, I'll go with you if you can help," Zach said, shaking the newspaper in his hand.
"Ignore me, Captain, I'm counting how many hairs Billy has" Godot squinted, staring at Billy's arm.
"Boss, my ass hurts, I can't get up," Loki said to me, clutching his ass.
"You've been blown up?" I picked my eyelids and looked at him very unpleasantly, when I came in just now, this thing was picking his nose and scratching his ass with a comfortable face, where did he say that there was any butt pain.
"No, I was kicked by the boss" After speaking, he thought about it and added: "It's an internal injury." ”
I wanted to kick him in the ass, but seeing how he looked like he was going to die dispelled the idea.
Walking alone on the street, looking for a booth for combat skills while looking at the scenery.
As I passed by Patch's weapons shop, through the window, I saw Old Patch wiping his weapon, and when I saw that it was still early, I pushed the door open and walked in.
Old Patch didn't look back at first, but asked, "Welcome to the Patch Weapons Shop, what kind of weapons are you going to buy?"
But there was no response for a long time, he raised his head, glanced at the door, and saw that it was me, the whole person was excited, and before he could speak, he took three or two steps out of the counter, holding my hand tightly, his body was trembling unconsciously, and his lips trembled for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.
"Don't get excited, expert, if you have something to say, I have time today" As I spoke, I leaned over the counter and handed him the teacup from which he was drinking: "Let's drink saliva first." ”
He wanted to say something, but he was too excited, let alone talking, even the water cup was unstable, and the original full cup of warm water was shaken out by him for half a cup.
I nodded at him and motioned for him to drink water first.
Old Patch nodded stiffly, tilted his neck, and drank the warm water from his cup.
However, old Patch, who had only drunk one glass of water, did not seem to be able to dilute his overly excited mood, and then, after four or five glasses of water, he let out a long sigh as he slapped his round belly with water.
I thought it was time for him to get down to business, but this guy couldn't hold his urine as soon as he drank the water, nodded at me with an embarrassed face, and hurriedly rushed into the toilet again.
I was the only one at the counter, with a smile on my face.
After a while, Patch came out of the toilet with a cool expression, it seemed that he was urinating.
When they saw me, although they were still excited, they were much calmer than before.
"Thank you, thank you for saving my niece," Patch grabbed my hand and said, "I'm just, I don't even know how to thank you!" ”
"Hehe, it's okay, this is what I should do" Pulling my hand out hard, I asked casually: "By the way, did you wash your hands after going to the toilet?" ”
"Oops" Patch slapped his shiny head and said with a face full of shame, "I'm so excited, I forgot, you wait, I'll go wash my hands." ”
"Ah, it's okay, hehe" I put a black line on my forehead and said, "I just want to wash my hands too, let's go, let's go together." ”
I was relieved that I had washed my hands three or four times in a row to make sure that there was no more Patchy urine on my hands.
As soon as he walked out, he saw Old Patch take out a small package, carefully unfold it layer by layer, and there were three yellow, orange and orange gold coins lying quietly inside.
"It's yours," said old Patch, holding back his distress, and pushed the gold coins to me, and I could see that three gold coins were already a huge sum of money for him.
In fact, not only Packy, but three gold coins is a lot of money for many people, and in Eri City, except for nobles, high-level leaders of the Grand Guild, masters with various names, and those high-level adventurers, there is basically no one who will not be moved by the three gold coins.
I think that in the days when I was stolen from three gold coins, I would dream of those three gold coins swirling above my head every night, but I just couldn't catch them, so I was often awakened by this dream.
It can be seen how impactful three gold coins are for an ordinary person like me.
Picking up one of the gold coins with two fingers, putting it in the palm of his hand, and squeezing it twice, Old Patch's eyes also swayed up and down with the gold coin, and a heart also jumped a few times, and he swallowed his saliva, and his face was full of reluctance.
I played with the gold coins a few times, threw them away, and threw the gold coins into the package, and looked at the distressed appearance of Old Patch, I shook my head, pushed the package back in front of Old Patch, and pushed it back to Old Patch: "I don't want the gold coins, you can take it back." ”
Old Patch's eyes widened in surprise, and he squirmed his lips a few times before he spoke, "You, you, what did you just say?" ”
"I said I don't want the gold coins, you can take them back."
"This, how can this be, it was all said at the beginning, it was said at the beginning......"
"It's your business to place a reward, and it's my business that I don't charge commissions, so don't worry about it" I thought about it for a while, and then reminded: "By the way, you can withdraw the reward order, and someone in the province will take the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole." ”
"Actually......" Old Patch said a little embarrassed, "it's already been withdrawn." ”
"Already withdrawn?" I raised an eyebrow: "When?" ”
"I'll withdraw it on the day you took my bounty" Old Patch saw my strange look on his face and hurriedly explained: "Don't think too much, I just don't want to pay the fifteen percent fee for the adventurer's base, but I still sincerely hope that you can accept your three gold coins, and I absolutely believe that you can save my niece." ”
I looked at him with a smile, and finally understood the old man's thoughts, except for the one that I could save his niece out of at the end, the rest were all fake, and the best proof was that this old man was still staring at the three gold coins in front of him until now, refusing to move a single bit, how could he, who was so stingy, really want to give me such a large amount of property.
I laughed, but still raised my hand, blocking between me and him: "You put the gold coins away from me, I'm sure I don't want gold coins." ”
Seeing that he happily put away the three gold coins carefully, I continued: "Although I don't want the gold coins, I still need you to do me a favor, even if it is to repay the favor of the three gold coins." ”
