Chapter 44: Flickering
After escorting Mu Lao and the others back to the City of Hope, Alfred immediately came to the city hall.
After listening to Alfred's report, Meng Chen was shocked in his heart: "Is the City of Hope finally going to contact the humans of this world?" ”
"In what capacity should I meet these people?"
Suddenly, Meng Chen's heart moved, smiled slyly, and said to Alfred: "Alfred, let's have some fun later, don't show your flaws in front of them." ”
"Yes! Your Lord! Alfred replied helplessly.
Meng Chen deliberately changed his clothes, and then followed Alfred towards the slaughterhouse.
Note: Since there is no prison in the City of Hope, Mu Lao and the others are held in a wooden cage in the slaughterhouse.
At this time, Mu Lao and the others were very worried in their hearts, after all, whoever was locked up in the slaughterhouse would inevitably have some bad thoughts.
Looking at the butcher in the slaughterhouse, skinning and cramping the animals and cutting them into large strips of meat, a villager trembled and said, "These weirdos, are they trying to ...... us?" Kill them all and make them into adult jerky, right? ”
"Woo woo, it's so cruel! They're monsters! ”
Although Mu Lao didn't know the bottom in his heart, he still said calmly: "Don't think nonsense, everyone, we are just temporarily locked up here." ”
After stabilizing everyone's emotions a little, Mu Lao pulled Dashan and asked quietly, "Dashan, can you break this wooden cage?" ”
Dashan shook his head and replied weakly, "It's easy to break the wooden cage, but the guards outside the wooden cage are not easy to deal with. If I hadn't been hurt, I could have hit ten, but...... Ahem, ahem! ”
"Hey~!" Mu Lao sighed and dispelled the idea of escaping.
At this moment, the door of the wooden cage was opened, and several elite swordsmen escorted Mu Lao and the others out of the wooden cage.
"Don't kill me! My meat doesn't taste good! A particularly timid villager immediately shouted.
Meng Chen, who was standing outside the wooden cage, smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, this uncle, they won't hurt you." ”
"Does this little brother speak Southern Xinjiang?" Mu Lao and the others were pleasantly surprised.
Meng Chen nodded, "Of course!" I was originally a villager from the nearby village of Tieshi, so how could I not speak southern Xinjiang? ”
"Little brother is from Ironstone Village? How can you ...... with these weirdos" Glancing at Alfred, Mu Lao didn't continue.
Meng Chen sighed and said slowly, "Three months ago, the refuge of Tieshi Village was attacked by fierce beasts. That night, I got lost with the rest of the village...... In the end, it was the Othello people who saved me. ”
"These are called O'...... Ao or something, didn't you embarrass you? Mu Lao asked.
"It's the people of Ocellil! They were pretty good to me and didn't embarrass me. In fact, they are also a group of poor people, their hometown was destroyed by demons, and they were forced to flee here. Meng Chen continued to flicker.
"I see! Ay~! Southern Xinjiang is not a good place, there are fierce beasts everywhere, and there are even monsters ......," Mu Lao said with empathy.
Glancing at Alfred secretly, Mu Lao hurriedly asked, "Will the little brother say what they say?" Can you help us plead with this adult? ”
"No problem! After these three months of getting along, I have basically learned their language, and general communication is still okay. The adult that the old man said is actually hope...... Ahem, the Soldier Commander of the Village of Hope - Baron Alfred Minelles Hill! Meng Chenqiang held back a smile and said seriously.
Regarding Meng Chen's performance, Alfred, who watched the whole process, rolled his eyes inwardly.
As a noble hereditary nobleman, Alfred was reluctant to do such a deceitful thing.
"Great! Little brother, can you talk to this Ah ...... Alfred ...... Baron Mi What Hill said, we are not bad people, just ordinary medicine pickers, and there is no ill will towards them! Mu Lao said inarticulately.
For Mu Lao, who had never been exposed to another language, it was obviously too difficult for him to repeat Alfred's full name.
Meng Chen nodded, and after talking nonsense to Alfred in a serious manner, he smiled at Old Mu and said, "Uncle, I have already explained your situation to the Commander. The Archon decides...... Restore your freedom! ”
"Really? Thank you little brother! Mu Lao said in surprise.
The rest of the villagers also thanked Meng Chen again and again, and frequently cast a grateful and fearful glance at Alfred.
Meng Chen quietly glanced at Alfred, who nodded slightly in understanding, and led the elite swordsmen around him to turn around and leave.
When Alfred and the swordsmen left, the villagers finally relaxed.
Mu Lao clasped his hands into fists, bowed to Meng Chen, and said, "The old man's surname is Mu Minghan, and the little brother can call me Old Man Mu." The great kindness of the little brother, we must keep it in mind, I don't know what the little brother is called? ”
Meng Chen also clasped his fists with both hands and saluted back: "Under the surname Meng Mingchen, Mu Lao doesn't need to be polite, it's just a gesture." That's right! This big brother looks very seriously injured, why don't you stay for the time being and find a doctor to bandage this big brother's wounds? ”
At this time, the blood from the wound on Dashan's chest, coupled with the side effects of the previous dispersal exercises, caused Dashan's whole face to be pale, weak and weak, and he needed the support of two villagers to stand firmly.
"This ......"
Seeing that Dashan was seriously injured, Mu Lao was also very anxious in his heart, but his innate fear of the unfamiliar environment made him hesitate for a while.
Finding that Mu Lao was a little moved, Meng Chen continued to persuade: "Mu Lao doesn't have to worry about safety, the people of Oseril are very trustworthy, and since they have restored your freedom, they will definitely not break their word." Besides, this eldest brother's injuries are very serious, and if he continues to drag on, he may be in danger! ”
When Mu Lao heard this, he panicked in his heart, and immediately nodded: "Since this is the case, then we can only continue to trouble the little brother!" ”
Subsequently, Meng Chen took Mu Lao and the others to the hospital in the City of Hope.
At present, although the hospital in the City of Hope is only a first-floor building, it is quite complete with all kinds of medical equipment and medicines.
After entering the hospital, everyone was greeted by two female doctors with blond hair and blue eyes wearing pink nurse uniforms.
Note: When choosing to train doctors, Meng Chen deliberately selected female civilians. And when Ellie designed the uniforms of female doctors, Meng Chen also put forward a lot of references.
For the long-tested Meng Chen, the uniformed female doctor in front of him is just a small scene, but for the villagers with simple hearts, it is simply a shock that subverts the outlook on life.
The villagers who followed behind Mu Lao whispered secretly:
"They're so fierce!"
"Their clothes are so beautiful!"
"What are they wearing on their legs? Why is it so thin? ”
