Chapter 17: Two Words of Incomparable Resentment
At the bottom of the box, a small object in a corner evoked Wu Yun's memory. This thing has undoubtedly been played with by itself. Wu Yun was overjoyed. Reached out and picked it up.
It's a black slingshot. The Y-shaped bow arm is heavy. Like the part that should be a rubber band, the original material cannot be seen. Wu Yun picked it up and pulled it. It feels pretty good.
This thing was standard for boys in the neighborhood when I was a child. Back then, I asked my father to make one out of wire and rubber bands. I was ecstatic at the time. Take it around and practice it all day. In the end, this entertainment was eventually terminated by breaking the glass in the teacher's office. And one of his few real sports activities has also come to an end. And see this here and now. Wu Yun couldn't help but have mixed feelings and memories.
The three people behind him looked at each other. The slingshot is a weapon that has almost disappeared from everyone's mind. This thing was originally an alternative in the early days when people lacked weapons. Nowadays, even children's weapons training is taught with a few simple melee weapons and crossbow arrows. So all these years no one has been going to learn the use of this weapon at all. Kasan has the most weapons at her disposal. But she was still surprised to see this thing.
"I will." Wu Yun proudly held the slingshot and said to Dika. He looked down and picked up a small boulder. Pull it away. The stone "thumped" and hit the iron plate that was used as a signboard outside.
Not bad. It's kind of a feeling. Wu Yun thought secretly, but it would be a shame if such a big target could not be hit.
When did such a thing come about? Decca had no impression of the presence of this little guy at all. I guess no one wants this thing if it's given away now. He couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he really didn't misunderstand this kid. There are so few things that can be used. It seems that he doesn't even have to pay 5 gold.
"What do you think?" The fat man looked puzzled.
"I guess he hasn't fought much." Kasan still has a good eye. "Sola's little Tifa has more things than he knows...
"I agree." Xiao Lei pondered for a moment. "Look at him like this. I must not have been out much. ”
The room was just a bit of space. So the conversation between the three of them was heard clearly. But after what happened before, the current words will not make him feel unhappy at all.
But Xiao Lei's last sentence reminded him. You have to find a reasonable identity cover for yourself in order to move smoothly in this world. And you can also give an explanation to the next few people. It also saves them from guessing like this.
Wu Yun was thinking about how to explain his idiot-like ability to everyone. A figure walked in from outside the house. Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.
"Oh, here you are." This is the same thin man with agility before. The impression he made on Wu Yun was the most impressive among the people in the village. So as soon as the man came in, he recognized him.
"Hey, how did you turn this thing out?" Lei Duo saw the slingshot in Wu Yun's hand at a glance. Reached out and took it and took a closer look. He looked at Dika with an inquiring gaze. The latter shrugged. "This kid turned it out on his own. When did this come in? How am I completely unimpressed? ”
"This is what I've used before. I thought I had lost it. It's here," Ledo rubbed the memory with a wistful expression. "I didn't expect it to be turned out by you."
"Uncle Ledo, have you used this yet~" Kashan asked curiously, "Is this thing powerful?" ”
"Hehe, this. It's really not very powerful. Ledo waved the slingshot in his hand. But it can be used against small beasts and humans in general. ”
"Is there any merit in this thing now?" Xiao Lei and the fat man looked disdainful: "Any crossbow is much stronger than this." ”
"In terms of attack power and performance alone." Ledo replied after a moment's thought. "It's not as good as that. But this weapon is not completely without advantages at all. ”
"Wait a minute." As he spoke, he walked to the corner of the house, opened a cabinet there and examined it, and several people craned their necks to look at it from a distance. All wondered what he was looking for. Even Dika was curious.
"I didn't expect to have a chance to take it out." Ledo wiped the sweat from his head. He walked out with a black strap in his hand. Look at it from afar. It seems that it is a set of things with this slingshot.
"There is no problem with ammunition for this weapon. This is easy for everyone to understand, so I won't explain much. Ledo said to the crowd. One of the most unnoticed advantages is that it is easy to carry. He said with a little nostalgia: "I have the impression that it has never been found." ”
He handed the strap in his hand to Wu Yun. "Since you chose this weapon, take this as well. It was meant to be something together. It's useless for me to keep it. ”
Wu Yun took the belt, and the material was very similar to the rubber band part of the slingshot. If you look closely, you can see that there is a hook on it. There are a few other things like buckle climbing, what is it for? Wu Yun was puzzled for a while.
Seeing this, Ledo smiled slightly. Picking up the belt and slingshot, he strained his hand slightly. The two come together. "Tie it around your waist." He handed over the combined two to Wu Yun.
Wu Yun only found out at this time that this had actually become a belt. The bow arm part of the slingshot is exposed to form the belt buckle that forms the belt. The rubber bands are completely hidden in the hollow of the belt.
He tied this around his waist, and everyone believed Ledo's words before, and from the outside, no one could have imagined that this belt actually hid a weapon.
"It's hard to find a problem just by looking at it, even if you look at it with your hands." Ledo said confidently. "In this regard, no dagger pistol can be compared."
"I talked about it for a long time... That's the advantage... Xiao Lei and the fat man returned to their previous disdainful looks, "It seems to be completely useless." ”
Kashan didn't say anything directly, but it was obviously out of the mentality of taking care of Wu Yun and Lei Duo.
"You're still too young. You'll know later. Ledo smiled nonchalantly. And Wu Yun is very happy now, he thinks this thing is very suitable for him. But then something came to him.
"This slingshot has been given to me for nothing. It would be inappropriate to take this belt again. Although Wu Yun has a deep grudge against Decca. But Ledo is also a benefactor to himself. In this way, they take advantage of others without the other party's knowledge. Wu Yun still couldn't do it.
Ledo was stunned and looked at Dika. The latter spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders. It's kind of admitted.
"It doesn't matter. This slingshot has been with me for some years. It is not for sale in itself. Ledo waved his hand. You can pick it, and it's a good place to be. Just take it. ”
"But... Ledo thought for a moment. "I just heard at the bar that you made a bunch of really nice baobabs?"
"Look at their noisy looks." "I'm curious if it's really as good as they say it is," he said. ”
"It's okay." Wu Yun naturally understood what the other party meant. "There's no material now, but we'll go out and collect some tomorrow."
"I'll leave you two when it's ready." Wu Yun felt that his promise should be okay. He didn't quite know the price of the slingshot and the belt. Naturally, I can only say it casually.
Ledo agreed with a smile on his face. Dika looked at the two of them with a depressed expression from behind. Wu Yun didn't have a good impression of him, but after thinking about getting his favorite weapons and accessories, he had to say that he also had a share of credit, and when he thought about it. Wu Yun's anger towards him also disappeared a lot.
"Bring one for you, too." Wu Yun then said to Dika. The gray-haired man was happy. But it was still difficult to hide the doubts on his face. It is estimated that he didn't expect Wu Yun to say this.
"Let's see what else you need." Ledo was visibly happy to see his companion share in the action, and he said as he walked to the closet.
"I don't have good clothes and shoes here." Ledo said with a little regret, "It's not as good as the mechanic suit you have." The village chief of Solu is also really willing. The last time someone paid a big price to buy him, he didn't pay out... He looked like he was distressed.
"Buy a helmet. It is better to protect the head. "He flipped as he spoke, and his men kept busy." If you want to go out to gather, gloves are also necessary. You don't need anything good, just take a pair of cheap ones. He spoke so quickly that several people couldn't interject. I could only watch him take things out in the same way. "Finally, bring some ginseng pill powder. Qi is alive~"
As soon as the words fell, a bunch of things appeared in front of Wu Yun.
Wu Yun hesitated for a moment and looked back at Kashan. I saw the girl smile and nodded.
"You have a point, I want it." Although Wu Yun himself was confused, when he saw that the owner of the money nodded, he naturally slapped the board neatly.
"But... Can you change the color of this helmet? Wu Yun asked in a low voice.
Ledo is strange, this green color works well in the wild. Why change? But since the other party spoke, he did so. He casually took out a blue one and handed it back.
Kasan stepped forward to check to see if the number and variety of things were right. Motioning for the fat man to come over, the latter took out a bag out of nowhere and put everything in.
Then Wu Yun once again saw the low mathematical ability of the people here. At this time, however, he was working on the combination of the belt and the slingshot, and was not at all interested in participating in their depressed calculations.
It wasn't long before Kasan and Ledo negotiated to complete. Immediately several people left the hut.
The crowd walked out of the aisle. While discussing tomorrow's event, we walked back. Among them, Xiao Lei is abnormal, he has no usual liveliness at all. All the way, he was pensive, and there were words in his mouth. Wu Yun couldn't help but be a little curious.
He hadn't had time to ask. Xiao Lei slapped his head sharply. All three were taken aback.
"We seem to have suffered a loss." The three of them looked at him in unison.
"Wu Yun's weapon said it didn't ask for money." He looked sad and angry. "But that's how the three breadfruits were delivered... According to the price of Uncle Kanu's 6 gold, it is ——— 18 gold. Little Ray paused. Then he said in a very sure tone.
It seems that the previous babble was calculating this. Wu Yun thought secretly.
"If you count the bounty. There are more than 20. You can buy a crossbow at will. "Little Thunder is crying with a sad face." As a result, he got back such a thing that didn't attack. The other two suddenly realized. Stomping his feet again and again. complained very much about Wu Yun's generous behavior.
Wu Yun felt that he had no loss. No matter how you look at it, this is a weapon that suits him very well, not to mention three breadfruits, even ten of which he is willing to change. But he just pinched the belt around his waist. smiled and didn't argue with a few people.
"Wait a minute." There was the sound of hurried footsteps behind him. The crowd looked back. None other than Decca. He caught up in a few steps.
"Ledo said he forgot to give it to you." As he spoke, he handed a small bag to Wu Yun. Then he took out a paper bag and put it in Wu Yun's hand. "This is a good thing to hold and it works well for novices." He finished in one breath. didn't wait for Wu Yun to answer. I ran back at the same speed as I had been.
Wu Yun flipped the bag, as if it was a bag of beads. Pinch it with your hand, and sure enough, it is a bead the size of a fingernail, which is much easier to use than a stone, and it is not a loss that the person who plays this is really thoughtful. Wu Yun couldn't help but be grateful. He opened the paper bag again, and when he saw the contents, he almost lost his mind. It's actually two grenades! He was startled and almost threw it out, but fortunately Kasan picked it up just in time.
"Small grenades, 5 gold. Good stuff~~" Kashan said happily. "Dika is right, it's something that everyone will use~~"
"By the way, Wu Yun, will you?" She remembered something.
“。。 No... Wu Yun had an incomparable resentment towards these two words that he had said countless times today...
