Chapter 291: Cold Night
"Ah~ look at it makes me tired. Peony groaned and stretched out her arms. Glancing at Boro who walked past him, "Why don't you even say hello, how about other people's wives?"
"It's fine. ”
Peony's arm stiffened with a headache, "Okay, boy, you won't be ......"
"It won't be anything, I talked to his husband all afternoon. ”
"That'...... Her husband didn't do anything to you?" asked Peony tentatively, and began to observe Boro's body by the way. I want to see if he has had his leg broken.
But looking at it now, there should be no problem with Boro walking back.
"Nothing, just gave me something to eat. Bourro took a hard-boiled egg from his pocket and threw it to Peony, "Remove the hard shell on the outside and eat it." ”
"What is this?" Peony frowned and caught the egg that Boro threw over, "raw?"
"The chicken is raw, but it's already cooked and ready to eat. With that, Boro went upstairs.
Peony looked at the hard-shelled round egg in his hand, this thing can be eaten, but Boro said that he had better find someone to try the poison first.
Approaching the kitchen directly, Peony found a kitchen knife and cut the egg directly from it, and the hard shell on the surface was opened with a bit.
Kesheng stood not far away, and saw that Peony was also coming, so he put down the spatula in his hand first.
"Sister Peony, why are you here? It's not time to rest, you're lazy. ”
Peony glanced at him, "I'm the proprietress in the Peony Pavilion, I have the final say." What can I do if I'm lazy?"
"No," Kosheng didn't dare to reason with her, looking at the thing she was holding in her hand, and couldn't help but ask, "What is this?
"How could you have seen it. Peony put the cut egg under her nose and sniffed, "It doesn't smell good." ”
"Is this food?"
"Would you like to try it?" Peony originally planned to take the eggs and go to Mafu Afu to test the poison, anyway, the kid would not be poisoned for a while.
Kesheng took half of it from Peony's hand, "This can really be eaten." ”
"Remove the shell and eat it, I think it should be just peeling off the outer layer of crust. ”
Peony watched Kesheng peel off the skin little by little, and watched him take a small bite.
"Is it toxic?"
Kosen's eyes widened
"No, I just wanted to ask if it tasted good. ”
Kosheng swallowed hard, "It doesn't taste good." ”
Peony observed for a long time whether Kesheng had any strange reactions, and also found that his skin did not turn green
"Looks like it's fine. "Peony waved his hand" to go about your business, and as for the ones you just eat, they will be deducted from your salary. ”
Boro returned to the room, lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling above his head, closed his eyes for a long time, and recalled the words that Gu Ye had said to himself in that secret room during the day.
"The king rules in order to maintain his rights, in order not to let the people have too much power to rebel against his rule. Before the summer and autumn harvests, they would always join the nobles in the royal city to cause a massacre called expulsion. ”
Boro still remembered the expression on Gu Ye's face when he said these words again, and he really felt pity for those who were abandoned.
"The war of deportation is undoubtedly a war for the remnants, because the war is cruel. And they have no way to stop it by their own strength, and the so-called war will only turn into a one-sided bloody massacre. ”
Boro's mind remembered the people, the children and the old people he had seen in the ruined city. Whoever is going to be slaughtered
"It shouldn't be like this...... right"
"Wang ...... Isn't it so that the people can have food and shelter?"
Although Gu Ye repeatedly asked Boro to join their team, he himself eventually refused. Because he also has a friend named Xue Ren in this capital, and this friend of his own is the future king of the prince Xinghua Kingdom.
"You once said that you wanted your people to be happy, but now you are about to face this bloody time...... What will you do about it? Boro opened his eyes, and now he could only hope that Xue Ren would be able to rush back before the expulsion battle.
Because he didn't want to be an enemy of his friends, once he joined Gu Ye's team, he would also be an enemy of the king and Xue Ren.
There was a knock on the door outside "Boro".
"Sister Peony"
"Look at your face is not too good, what's the matter? Something happened during the day, wasn't it good before. ”
"I'm just a little sleepy and want to sleep. Sister Peony is here to accompany me?"
"The little rabbit cub still dares to tease the old lady!" Peony didn't bother to reprimand him, "What kind of eggs did you give me before?" ”
"Two more. ”
"Take it. ”
"Why, I'm going to save it for tomorrow morning. ”
"Tomorrow morning, of course, there will be breakfast delivered by Xiaolan. ”
"I can only give you one. Boro took another one out of his pocket.
"Where did you get this?"
"Where have I been for the past two days? ”
"Post station?" Peony looked at the egg in his hand, "Then you can rest, I'll take someone to see it tomorrow." ”
Peony closed the door herself, and Bouro returned to the room to put the eggs on the table and spin them.
"Trouble comes one after another...... It seems to hurry back to the village. ”
In a corner of a ruined town in a field outside the city, two men were sitting around a campfire talking.
"I did it because I listened to what you said. If Bouro really betrays the team at that time......" Although Gu Ye said that he believed Boro's words during the day, it was still difficult to really believe it in his heart. In fact, it wasn't just Boro, even the other members of the planning team, he didn't trust him very much.
"Don't worry, although he is also decisive. But in the final analysis, he is kind in his heart, and kind people will always do good things. Chloe picked up a piece of wood from his hand and threw it into the fire
"And it's such a thing that distinguishes between right and wrong. ”
"I really don't understand why you gave up your future in the Exorcist Guild in the first place to come to this land of hunger and cold. Gu Ye looked at Chloe's emaciated and dark face, "Until now, I still don't quite understand." ”
"Even if you explain what you don't understand, you still don't understand. Chloe looked at the fire in front of him, "The choices people make are not simply explained by the words of reason. ”
In the distant sky, a white point of light flew into the sky, Gu Ye stood up and smiled slightly: "It seems that I have to sleep with you all night tonight." ”
"With the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed, why is there no place for the world to be in such a big place?" Chloe also got up, "I have to go back, you can camp near here." The night outside the city is much colder than the city. ”
"I still have Xinyun in the city waiting for me to go back, why can't I be frozen to death. ”
