Postscript II.
"It's hard to learn martial arts." Ward touched the little boy's head.
The little guy raised his head and said seriously: "I'm not afraid of hardship." Can you teach me? ”
Ward put the sword back, stood up, and said, "Maybe you can when you grow up." ”
After about ten minutes, the woman came out of the kitchen with a large bowl of fish soup and brown bread, because the fish were abundant near the sea, and the inhabitants of Arendel were living well, at least a moderate amount of meat would be satisfied. There was some vegetable chowder stewed in the pot, and the woman first served Ward a bowl of fish soup, and then made a bowl of vegetable porridge for the little boy, and then said a little crampedly: "The hospitality is not good, and this is the only food at home." ”
Ward took a sip of the fish soup and smiled, "It tastes good." ”
The woman couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and broke off a piece of black bread with her hand, soaked it in a bowl and ate it softly, and the little boy sitting next to her glanced at Ward from time to time, and then at his mother.
None of the three spoke.
The woman was a little cramped, but Ward remembered his past, when he was a hunter, and life was not much different from what it is now.
Suddenly, his ears moved, and he couldn't help but frown and stood up.
"Stay here and don't go out."
He got up and strode out of the house, and the woman looked a little frightened as if she had guessed something.
Ward went out and grabbed a lewd-looking man from the corner, and he casually closed the door and slammed the man against the wall.
Not far away, several fierce-looking men quickly approached.
"Ahem......"
The lewd man who was smashed on the wall by Wharton had a grim expression, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you?" Dare to meddle with our Sea Shark Gang, haven't you heard of the name of our boss Blood Shark? I advise you not to meddle and be careful of being thrown into the sea to feed the sharks! ”
Ward looked like a down-and-out sailor, and the man believed he had heard of the name Blood Shark.
But he was disappointed, for to Ward a mouse was a mouse, and no amount of the majestic nickname could change the fact that they were a disgraceful mouse.
Three or five fierce men were approaching, and they were hiding weapons like daggers.
People living in the slums have a keen instinct for danger, and when they see it as if they are about to fight, they immediately take refuge. These rats abduct and sell people to force good people into prostitution, and no poor person wants to have anything to do with them, lest they hide quickly enough at this time.
Ward's brow furrowed.
He casually threw down the man in his hand, and walked over to him, a cold light of a dagger appeared, and three or five fierce men surrounded him.
There was a faint exclamation of a woman.
Click!
But the next moment, the crunch sound of bone breaking broke out, the man's arm holding the dagger twisted strangely, and let out a terrible scream, Ward threw out a whip leg, and the mouse behind him who wanted to sneak attack was directly kicked five meters away, and fainted directly when he landed. It's okay for these unpopular rats to bully and bully civilians.
"You wait!"
The lewd man with a bloody face got up, put down his cruel words and said, "You dare to take care of the affairs of the Sea Shark Gang, you wait to go to the sea to feed the sharks." And that slut woman, she will be sold into a kiln and life is better than death! ”
The movable rat fled outside, ignoring the few other guys who couldn't move.
Ward spat on the ground, the hand holding the hilt of the sword trembled slightly, as if trying to restrain something, this is Arendelle, the pearl of the Ice Country, the territory of Queen Anna, he can't kill people indiscriminately.
………………
Dock.
On a merchant ship, the burly boatswain frowned and looked at the docks, and said in a deep voice, "Where's Ward?" Why is the person missing? ”
The short and fat sailor next to him showed a lewd smile and said, "I just saw him go with a woman with a big ass and a child." I also said why this guy doesn't look for a woman every time he docks, it turns out that he likes this mouthful. ”
The life of a sailor was boring, and spirits and prostitutes were their most enthusiastic pastimes.
The corner of the boatswain's mouth showed an equally lewd smile, but then he pulled down his face and said, "Remember to inform him to come back when you set out, and don't forget the time to play on the woman's belly." ”
As soon as the words fell.
I saw a thin sailor running over in a panic and shouted, "Oh no." Chief. I just saw Ward fight with the Sea Sharks in the slums. Now that they're calling someone, it's estimated that something big will happen next. ”
The faces of the sailors suddenly turned ugly.
One of the bearded sailors foamed at the mouth and said in a deep voice, "This guy is really going to cause trouble!" Now what? ”
"The Sea Shark Gang is the head snake here, and there are a lot of lives on their hands, so it's not good for us to fight them."
The boatswain's face was also ugly, and he scolded: "This bastard. Immediately send someone to inform the captain of the ship, and the cargo will be released as soon as possible. He's ours anyway, and now we're going to bring him back and leave as soon as we get rid of the goods, and the Sea Sharks won't give up. ”
Although I hate Ward's unruliness, I can't throw him down at this time.
The expressions of the others were a little hesitant, but they quickly moved, and some of them cursed, "This bastard! It's so bad that Lao Tzu has to run away if he doesn't play for two days! When he arrives at Blackwater Port, he must ask him to invite Lao Tzu to drink and prostitute! ”
"That's right! Let him treat him to a prostitute! ”
"Grab it and beat it first! …… And then let him treat a prostitute! …… Let him not be allowed to go on, just watch from the side! ……”
A bout of foul language.
But despite the curses, many sailors quickly took up arms.
Their caravan was on a route from the north coast to the eastern kingdom, a route fraught with danger, and many sailors were close friends.
………………
The other side.
As if a storm was coming, some men with fierce expressions walked out of the dark alleys, they hid their weapons and converged towards the slums, a small group of patrol guards who found the anomaly wanted to go over and have a look, but soon two young men with money bags found their captain, the captain took the money bag and weighed it a few times, and immediately smiled and said, "Don't make too much trouble." Just clean up that sailor. When things got bigger, we didn't have any good fruit to eat. ”
A few sailors went into the city to find the captain, while others took up arms and headed for the ghetto.
"Try not to mess with the Sea Sharks, we'll take Ward back to the ship." The boatswain pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "When they get to the ship, they don't dare to mess around." Leave the woman alone and leave her to the Sea Sharks. ”
He wants to save Ward, but he must also be responsible for the lives of his subordinates.
Only the poor woman could be sacrificed at this time.
Completely offending these land snakes will cause endless trouble, and in the future, there will be all kinds of rats in Arendelle to trouble them.
Rats with weapons came out of the dark corners, and soon hundreds of people gathered, and the slums were full of chickens and dogs, and many of them were so frightened that they hid in their rooms and closed the doors and windows tightly. They did not rush to make a move, but surrounded the woman's house until a fierce man with scars from his forehead to his neck arrived.
"You're against our Sea Sharks?" Blood Shark - Vic, a native of the Northlands, a wanted criminal, became the leader of the rats after being whitewashed and defected to the nobles, acting cruelly and fiercely.
The woman didn't know when she appeared, standing behind Ward, her body trembling with fear on her face, but she didn't hide inside the house.
"I'm sorry." She trembled behind Ward and said, "It's me who has caused you a burden. Let's go. Leave us alone. ”
Ward smiled.
He didn't move, just grasped the trembling hand on the hilt of the sword.
"It's courageous." The blood shark smiled hideously, he had been observing Ward in front of him from the beginning, and after seeing his trembling palms, the blood shark was sure that the other party's heart was not as calm as his face showed, you see that he was so frightened that his hands trembled, but he was just forcibly pretending to be calm.
The blood shark showed a hint of a playful smile, his eyes swept around, although the doors and windows were closed, many people were peeking, this was a good opportunity for Liwei to take over this piece of land in the future.
"You did the two people I sent to arrest this woman yesterday?" The Blood Shark stared at Ward with a fierce gaze, "Where are they?" ”
Ward said expressionlessly, "It's dead." ”
The blood shark's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said fiercely: "Look for death!" ”
Ward's arms were swollen, and although there was still no change on his face, the irrepressible bloodthirsty excitement had enveloped his heart, he hadn't been so hungry for blood and killing for a long time, and the emotions that had been forcibly suppressed by relying on spirits for a long time were boiling, which made his body tremble.
Blood Shark was pleased with Ward's performance.
Because his words made the seemingly fierce sailor in front of him tremble with fright, he enjoyed the feeling of the moment, and was ready to surrender without a fight. But at this moment, a mouse ran up to him and whispered a few words, and he immediately narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Take them down." ”
A group of sailors is approaching.
Obviously, for the sake of the guy in front of him, he couldn't let these sailors take this man, so he had to grab the other party first.
Seven or eight fierce thugs with weapons approached with a sinister smile.
Ward's trembling body made them think that the other party was 'terrified', and it was all too easy to deal with such an already frightened enemy. If it weren't for the leader's prestige, there would be no need to call so many people over.
A cold light emerged.
The thug on the side couldn't help but pull out the short knife and rushed up, and Ward, whose body had been trembling, suddenly stopped, his eyes were clearly bloodshot, and he moved sideways and slammed into the enemy's body, and then grabbed the opponent's wrist with his backhand and grabbed the knife and twisted it horizontally, blood gushed in an instant, and the enemy behind him covered his throat and fell down twitching.
Everything happens in a blink of an eye.
And when the first enemy died, Ward seemed to let go of some kind of shackle, his expression calm and terrifying, and he drew his sword with a sonorous sound.
