Chapter 8: Roland's Tavern (Revision)

Richard smashed his tongue, the gold coins in his pocket were hot, God knows how long it took Leah to save up, and said goodbye, he was ready to go to Leah to return the money. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well, wait, my dear Richard, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Ji Mo grabbed him and said with a smile: "I think you have made a lot of money, right?" How about going to Roland Tavern for today's celebration banquet? ”

"No, no, I still have important business."

"Well, it doesn't mean anything. For the sake of many years of friendship, I treat you and go! ”

Ji Mo cut off, took out a glittering silver coin from his arms, and said in a gentle manner: "The wine there is a must in the city!" Come to think of it, we haven't been there for three months! ”

Richard's feet stiffened, his throat moved, and he said seriously, "You have a treat?" I don't have a copper plate on me. ”

"Let's go, let's go."

Unable to resist Jimo's enthusiasm, by the time Richard came back to his senses, he was already in the noisy tavern.

The consumption here is very high, and the commoners simply can't afford it, most of them are nobles and mercenaries, who hold large wooden cups, and the wine splashes when they collide, and the rich aroma fills the tavern.

"Hey man, have a bucket of orchids! Two more golden grilled sausages! ”

Ji Mo beckoned to order food, Richard originally thought that it was not early, and he would not make his sister angry when he went back drunk, but as soon as the wine and food came up, after taking a sip, he suddenly forgot everything!

Sweet and mellow, there is no bitter taste like beer at all, and when you swallow it, the aroma lingers in your mouth for a long time.

Richard let go completely, collided with Ji Mo cup after cup, and drank happily.

。。。

When he got home from Roland's Tavern, it was completely dark, and Richard saw that something was ghosted, and the door opened for a minute, and it was dark inside, and Leah hadn't come back yet.

Turning on the magic lamp, a white glow illuminates the room, and Richard falls asleep on the bed.

After a while, Lia, who had said goodbye to Xiao Ai, came back, holding a dress with a light smile on her face, thinking that the tailor was so fast, and thought that she would come back later.

Although a dress of a silver coin is not good in the aristocratic class, because it is custom-made, it should fit better.

Pushing open the door, Leah's smile gradually disappeared, and she pinched her nose, it smelled of alcohol!

Silently looking at Richard's room, he was lying on it like a dead pig, and gold and silver coins were scattered everywhere, and he didn't even notice it.

Leah had a sense of helplessness that hated iron and steel, walked to Richard's bed, the more she looked at it, the more angry she became, and a pink fist hit Richard's backbone, Richard woke up instantly, and screamed in pain: "Oh, my old waist, what's wrong?" ”

"Heh, do you still have the face to come back?"

Liya said coldly, her face full of disgust.

Richard was on the wine and exclaimed in displeasure, "What's wrong with me coming back?" I'm your brother, this is my home! ”

Liya's expression became colder, she really didn't want to say anything, and then looked at the dress she was holding as a baby, it looked so ridiculous.

She threw her hands on the ground, turned around and wanted to leave. Richard got angry and stopped her with a broken shout: "What attitude? Don't even say a word to your brother?! ”

"Huh."

Leah stopped, her shoulders trembled slightly, her fingers clenched tighter and tighter, she had a sense of absurdity, where did Richard get the confidence to say this?

He turned around and slammed his angry fist on Richard's door, and the latter slammed into the wall with a bang, bleeding from his nose.

Fortunately, Leah has gathered some strength, otherwise, the full force of the fourth-level warrior can completely smash his head to pieces.

Leah slammed the door shut, with a thud. Thanks to this punch, Richard sobered up a lot, and suddenly realized: his rotten mouth is farting again, this is a stinky problem that can't be changed!

After slapping himself three times in a row, Richard was depressed and took out a wine barrel and poured a few sips.

He sat on the bed and was distracted, flipping through Richard's memories little by little, and discovered a sad fact.

'Richard' was an alcoholic, and the family's monthly income was not enough for him, so every once in a while, he would go to Leah for a little money for drinks. Leah is a reserve member of the Holy Knights, and the Church gives her a much higher salary than Richard.

Their relationship seems to have been stiff since a long time ago, and I have the impression that Liya does not recognize Richard as a brother at all, and has never called out, whether formally or privately.

After reading this memory, Richard slapped himself again, the relationship was so stiff, didn't his two sentences add fuel to the fire!

Heaven gave him another chance, and let the unaccompanied Richard have a sister, which he should cherish even more.

With a flicker of his eyes, a white cardboard box fell to the ground, seemingly falling from Leah. Richard picked it up suspiciously and looked at it, it contained a well-cut dress, men's.

"Damn, there shouldn't be anyone you like, right? Lao Tzu's sister is so cute, how can she give it away? ”

Richard was startled, but after a while, he realized that the dress was perfectly fitting for himself. Whether it's the sleeves or the width of the shoulders, it fits him perfectly.

A strange thought popped up in my mind: Could it be... Was it bought for him?

Speaking of which, the acquired arcane ceremony will be attended by many big people, and the clothes that Richard is wearing now are a little dirty. The only new one was stabbed in a hole by the Earth Storm Bear.

Holding this dress, Richard gently stroked the lines on it, his fingers trembled, and the emotions he had never felt before filled his heart.

It was a warm, sour feeling. This was the first time in his life that Richard had received a gratuitous kindness.

Just look at his performance against Leah today, it's definitely extremely bad, even so... The dress lying in the palm of her hand seems to be silently telling something.

A bubbling warm current poured over his heart, and unconsciously, Richard's eyes moistened. He muttered: "God treats me well, gave me the QQ membership system, and gave it to my relatives, even if it is for the sake of Leah, I have to become stronger." ”

。。。

That night, Richard tossed and turned, and fell asleep in the middle of the night. He had a pained expression and a lot of sweat on his forehead.

Richard had a nightmare in which he dreamed that he was still in an orphanage, a fat man in a suit with small squinted eyes, whispering something to his mother.

Then he was loaded into a dilapidated truck, where endless labor awaited him.

Richard cried and struggled desperately at the woman, but was exchanged for a sneer. From then on, his heart died.

For the next seven years, he spent the darkness underground, living with pickaxes and coal mines, eating unhygienic food, sleeping the shortest, and doing the heaviest work.

Seizing a golden opportunity, he escapes from the mine, and the decadent Richard then takes odd jobs from place to place and plunges into the virtual world.

There, his cracked heart was soothed. It's a pity that the good times don't last long, and the woman in the welfare home always appears in nightmares that plague him and makes it difficult for him to sleep.

This is true even after the crossing.
