Chapter 298: Old Pache Eating Melon Seeds
If it was a strange girl, she suddenly pointed to the big sword behind me and mocked: "Look, there is a fool with a flagpole on his back!" ”
I would have chosen to ignore her and stay away, because I firmly believe that idiots are contagious. (8) (1) Δ 『Δ』Chinese Δ Net┡.*81.
However, when the girl who said this was one of my fiancées, things would change a little subtly.
I looked approving, pinched Barbara's little face again, and said, "Good eyesight! The first time I saw it, I thought it was a bamboo pole! ”
Barbara laughed happily when she heard what I said was even more outrageous than her, but she still pretended to be disgusted: "You are so stupid, this doesn't look like a bamboo pole, the bamboo pole is pale yellow."
I quickly gave a thumbs up and said, "You're right! ”
Then, scratching his head with his hand, he smiled and said, "I'm so stupid, really." ”
Suddenly, I suddenly remembered Xianglin's sister-in-law.
The proprietress walked out at this moment, and when she saw my intimate behavior with Barbara, her face instantly overflowed with the expression that should have been this way.
"Morning, hostess!" I said hello.
But I felt that the proprietress looked a little wrong, and her eyes were looking directly behind me, as if she was pondering.
Following my gaze, I turned my head slightly, and I saw the big sword erected high behind me.
"What's wrong, hostess?" I asked.
The proprietress suddenly woke up at this time, with an unnatural face, coughed lightly, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Something's got to be right!
I was sure in my heart.
"Boss, are you alright, I see you've just gotten distracted," I asked, pretending to be concerned.
"Ah, hehe, it's okay" The proprietress 's expression returned to its original state, her eyes left the big knife, and she smiled: "I just feel that your knife is quite novel." ”
Then, the proprietress asked, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”
"Hey, don't mention it, I'm in a hurry in the morning, and a lot of things have been put on hold, and it just so happens that I helped someone do something today, which isn't it" I pointed to the big knife behind me: "This is the reward, send it home in a while, I still have something to do." ”
"Then you go quickly" The proprietress nodded, turned around and entered the house, and said to Barbara: "Barbara, don't delay Xiao Yi's errands, come in, there is still work to be done!" ”
"Oh, it's coming" Barbara was very reluctant, rubbed hard twice in my arms, and then slowly moved back to the café with a reluctant face, and near the gate, she didn't leave.
I smiled and waved my hand at her, lip-synching, "I'll pick you up after work." ”
She turned around and entered the café.
With the big sword on my back, I passed by Old Patch's weapons shop again.
Old Patch was moving a small stool and sitting in the doorway munching on melon seeds.
When he saw me coming, he spanked and said, "Why are you back so early?" The sun is coming out in the west? ”
"Come on, don't look like you're looking at a new species," I replied, "and it's not like I didn't come back early. ”
"Yes," Old Patch nodded, and continued to eat melon seeds.
I looked at the pile of scattered melon seed skins at his feet, and said helplessly: "Can't you pay attention to hygiene?" It's a public place. ”
Old Patch gave me a blank look, but didn't speak.
"Well, it's useless for me to talk to you" I stopped joking and said seriously: "I came to you today mainly because I wanted to ask you for something." ”
"What's the matter?" Old Patch stopped eating melon seeds and had a profiteer on his face.
"The previous slashing knife is useless, you can help me fight again."
"Four gold coins," said Old Patch.
"I have the materials."
"Two gold coins."
"It's so expensive, do you want to be friends," I cried, "if you ask for such a price, the boat of friendship will capsize!" ”
Old Patch didn't care: "Then you go to someone else and ask them how much manual it costs to build a steel weapon." ”
I'm speechless.
Old Patch was right, a second-rate blacksmith could not forge a satisfactory weapon, although cheap, and a figure of Old Patch's degree, although the shop was small, his skill and vision were not to be said.
In the same situation, if you want to build a steel weapon, you have to spend at least four or five gold coins.
Although he seems to be a greedy goblin on the surface, he has never seen any luxurious life, and the most extravagant thing in his entire shop is nothing more than the pile of medicine on the other party in the innermost room.
"Old expert," I asked, "is the woman lying in the innermost room your wife?" ”
Old Patch gave me a blank look: "Knowingly asked." ”
"Shouldn't all the money you earn buy medicine for your wife......
Old Patch sighed.
"How's her sick, is she getting better?" I asked.
His face darkened, and he shook his head slowly.
"What's the disease, what does the doctor say?" I asked again.
"The doctor didn't see it," Old Patch sighed again: "Besides, if we are so poor and white, where can we hire a famous doctor!" The doctors I hired are all new to the doctor's qualification, with little experience, but the price is cheap. ”
Seeing that the old Patch became more and more excited, I couldn't help but sigh: the doctor-patient relationship is tense, and it has started since then.
Although I sympathized with Old Patch's embarrassment, I was not a doctor after all, and I could not help him in medical treatment, and I was not a rich tycoon, and I could not be generous in terms of money, and the only thing I could do was to listen to his complaints, talk to him, and take care of his business.
"By the way, there's something else," I interrupted Old Patch's ramblings, "what can you make of Ghost-Faced Spider Legs?" ”
"Ghost-faced spider legs?" Old Patch thought for a moment and said, "You have to look at the goods first, and I can't answer you if you don't see the goods." ”
"Okay, then I'll go back and get it first, and we'll see you later."
As I spoke, I quickened my pace and hurried in the direction of home.
It didn't take long for me to run home.
The door was locked, and I forgot to bring the key, so I had no choice but to climb over the wall to enter.
Tumbling into the courtyard and walking briskly to my room.
Since Jackson and I didn't have any valuables in our room, we weren't in the habit of locking the door.
This habit was not very good at the moment, but at this moment, it saves me a lot of time and energy.
Pushing the door in, I saw the front legs of the ghost-faced spider displayed on the wall, and the sword, which was twisted into a hemp shape.
I put the big sword next to my shop, unwrapped everything one by one, and then took all the money I had saved, and with the hemp knife on my back, and the forelimbs of the ghost-faced spider, I hurried to Old Patch's weapons shop.
