Chapter 9 A Little Scholar Who Sells Books and Newspapers

Following the directions shown on the map, Luo Rin took a long detour, and walked for a long time before he came to see the village at the bottom of the cliff. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Luo Rin had drifted far away, and it was already dawn when he returned to the shore, and it was already afternoon when he found the village, and if Matthew and the silver-haired boy were still alive, they would definitely have found a place where there were people before him, so it was most appropriate to inquire about them here.

When Luo Rin raised his foot and was about to step on it, the grass under his feet suddenly rose upward, and then the turf that was lifted quickly forward, leaving a dirt pit in its place, and it turned out that there was a person hiding underneath. The person hiding under the grass said while spitting out the grass: "Can you walk, look at your feet or not, with your size, I think I will not be stepped on." ”

"You're good at camouflage." Luo Rin praised.

"But that shouldn't be a reason why you didn't see me." The short boy in a knitted hat hidden under the grass pointed at Luo Rin and said, "You want to forgive you by complimenting me so that I get carried away?" I'm going from south to north, your trick is too tender. ”

"I'm sorry." Luo Rin saw that he couldn't say anything about the other party, so he decisively bowed his head and apologized.

The young man was stunned for a moment, scratched his face embarrassedly and said, "Why did a dignified man admit his mistake so quickly, I originally wanted to blackmail you, but now it's not easy to start." ”

"Well, for the sake of you admitting your mistake so quickly, I'll reluctantly forgive you." Having said that, the young man's face was full of displeasure, and it seemed that Luo Rin did not fully forgive Luo Rin for his actions.

"By the way, you're a foreigner, so I have to warn you to be careful, the customs of the people here are very strange, and if you accidentally break the taboo, you will be hostile to everyone. That's right, I just don't know the rules, so I hide in the grass to prevent them from finding out. The boy looked at the village with a frightened gaze and said to Luo Rin.

Strange customs? Luo Rin remembers that when I used to do English reading questions, there was an article about the customs and habits of Western countries, and some behaviors that were accepted by everyone in China were impolite in some Western countries, which was the difference in culture. The village is located at the bottom of a cliff and has little communication with the outside world, so it is indeed easy to have cultural differences.

"Do you know their customs?"

"One gold coin, no bargaining." The boy took out a small notebook from the ring on the little finger of his right hand and shook it in front of Luo Rin.

As soon as the boy appeared, Luo Rin found that the boy was wearing the same ring on his eight fingers, but he didn't expect it to be a storage ring, and it was possible that all eight of them were genuine storage rings. If it's really all eight, Luo Rin will feel a pain in the overlord treaty of the backpack.

"Envy, this is what I got from clearing the customs when I was exploring the treasure, and now it's all mine." The teenager deliberately didn't need to pick up the word, because if he said that he picked it up, some hypocrites have all kinds of reasons to let good things "return to their original owners".

"Okay, a gold coin." All the money prepared by the villagers for Luo Rin to go out was put in Matthew's, after all, he was more good at managing money. However, the prepaid commission of four gold coins for taking over the mercenary mission was in Luo Rin's hands, so he could still afford one gold coin.

After the sale was completed, the young man smiled evilly: "I wish you a happy stay here!" Then he turned and ran, as if he had stolen Lorin's money.

Luo Rin's money was not stolen, but seeing the teenager leave so quickly, it was certain that he would be trapped. But the question is how much was pitted.

Luo Rin flipped through the small book in his hand and was surprised to find that the words on it were all handwritten, looking at the beautiful font that was pleasing to the eye, Luo Rin felt more or less relieved. But when the locals greet each other in dialect and say, 'Oh ah to the palace of Rako after death,' the answer is 'the Songhua River will be powdered', and the content of this conversation is to discuss the weather? ”

What kind of mess, isn't this the same feeling as forcibly reading English with Chinese characters?

Luo Rin continued to read and found that most of the small books were dialogues with some common words, in addition to some small details in communication and etiquette during sacrifices. Although it is a bit expensive, the things written on it are quite comprehensive.

"I hope it's all true." Before walking into the town, Luo Rin read the usual conversations again, reciting them as she walked to the town, making sure that she could make a good impression on the locals as soon as she met them.

Twenty meters from the village building, a young man spotted Luo Rin and walked over with a working axe. Luo Rin hurriedly greeted according to what was written in the small notebook. The young man listened to Luo Rin's lame accent and asked, "Out-of-towners?" "The pronunciation of his standard language is very accurate.

After confirming that Luo Rin was a foreigner, the young man's friends also gathered around him and asked Luo Rin how he had slipped in, and when they learned that Luo Rin had been brought down from the cliff by siege lice, they all laughed, and then said heartily in standard language: "Someone from the village is going out tomorrow, so you can just follow it then." Seeing that you are not a bad person, it is not safe outside at night, so go to our base. ”

As soon as we met, I was going to invite me to your base, if I believe that you didn't try to, my IQ would be offline, so Luo Rin excused himself and said: "I didn't do anything, how embarrassed to occupy your place, just ......"

"Just waiting for your words, so help us work." The young strong man snapped his fingers and said proudly.

It turned out that you were here to pull free labor, Luo Rin was angry and said, "Local specialty, take care of it!" "This kind of place that you may not come back to in your life, you are sorry for yourself if you don't eat special products, and it doesn't matter if you purify your body with this divine skill, it doesn't matter if it's poisonous.

"Okay, follow me."

Looking at the empty hall in front of him, and the various wooden weapons and carpentry tools piled up on the ground, Luo Rin asked, "You called me here to help you make wooden toys?" ”

"Because we have guests here tonight."

"Okay." Luo Rin said: "Do you know that a small man, just looking at his face, is quite cute, wears a knitted hat, and is probably a head shorter than me. ”

"You say that bastard who sold our newspaper three years ago and stole our book collection! You've seen him somewhere, we'll go right now. "Yes, it's true that you don't know the rules and are hostile, but you will be beaten up for cheating and stealing.

"Sorry, he's already gone. By the way, have you seen a handsome guy with brown hair and a teenager with silver hair? ”

At the same time, the other side.

There were five empty bowls on the table, and Matthew was still serving food, and with his great appetite, the food provided when he was a mercenary could only be said to be barely hungry.

"You're going to exhaust me with both meals." The young and beautiful hotel proprietress said coquettishly.

Matthew sighed helplessly: "No way, who called the side dishes too delicious." ”

"Isn't it just pickles, I don't dare to take out the delicacies of the mountains and seas to entertain you, the king of big stomachs."

Matthew stared affectionately and said, "No, no, even the delicacies of the mountains and seas are less than one-ten-thousandth as beautiful as yours." ”

The proprietress blushed, slapped the table in order to hide her panic, and pointed to the person behind Matthew and reprimanded: "Hugo, you still teach people to tease me together, I think your kid is in arrears." ”

The handsome sunny guy named Hugo smiled and said, "There is nothing." As he spoke, he put his arm between Matthew's head and said viciously: "I teach you how to please girls, not for you to rob the teacher." ”

Matthew rolled his eyes, who said at the time that you are talented, just learn to pick up girls with me, and if you don't learn, you won't be allowed to enter the village.

"Hugo, did you find the big man with black hair that I asked you to find?"
