Chapter 17: Exaggerated acting

Are the two brothers honest? It's really honest, but if you want to call them stupid, they're not stupid...... Always regard yourself as a smart person, thinking that everyone else is a fool, and such a person is a big fool.

A bonfire rises, and the sound of crackling firecrackers comes from the flames, making people drowsy.

Facing the incomprehension and refutation of the two brothers, Nina explained: "Actually, this is a special task given to you by Master Zhuping? ”

"What's the mission?" Nada looked puzzled.

"You two use your pig brains to think about it, our adult's family business is to sell gems, and if you want to sell gems, you have to let others know first, right?

I put it in your hands just to borrow your hands to spread the word......" Nina's voice was loud, and the flames trembled.

Na Er looked aggrieved: "Mother, I ...... I still don't understand, and you don't know that my brain can't get back. ”

"To put it bluntly, the master wants you to show off the gems, and you can't give him up." Nina slapped the brothers on the head with a thick slap.

I don't know if the slap has an effect, after two bangs, these two iron bumps immediately understood.

"No, don't say anything, take the gems out to show off! Mother, you said that earlier, didn't my brothers understand it a long time ago? Nada looked resentful.

"Let you talk back!" Nina frowned.

The two brothers each like to mention a big mouth.

Early the next morning.

The mother and son went to the village tavern to buy a few large pieces of black bread, and each of the brothers had a glass of inferior wheat beer in front of them.

Among the upper class, the black bread, which is not called food, is eaten with relish by the three of them.

The two Nathana brothers have never eaten a few good meals when they are so old, and the same is true for Nina, who has done all kinds of dirty work and tiring work, and it is not easy to supply two rice buckets to grow up, after all, they are too good to eat.

In the past two years, Nina has been promoted to the position of female deputy butler because of her clever work and reassuring life, and she slowly climbed in the Hall family, and then happened to catch up with the drastic changes in the Hall family, so she was promoted to the official housekeeper.

In this era, it is very difficult for ordinary people not to go hungry, otherwise how can an activity like "sports meeting" become the exclusive domain of nobles and upper-class people?

Na Da raised his head and drank a large glass of beer, and laughed coldly: "Mother, our family is rich this time!" You have to eat a full meal first! The boss ordered ten more pieces of brown bread! ”

The acting skills are exaggerated, and I can't bear to look at it directly!

But the neighbors who are familiar with the two brothers are not surprised...... This is the advantage of honest people, no matter what strange things they do, people who know them will not think deeply.

This is the anchoring effect.

"Smack!" Nina slapped the boss on the back of the head, and the sound spread throughout the tavern, and said angrily: "Who told you to say this, how can our family be rich!" I can't afford to eat brown bread. ”

Didn't you tell us to say that...... Nada looked aggrieved.

Na Er snapped, slapped a pea-sized gem on the table, and said exaggeratedly: "Look at this gem, although I don't know the price, but change it to a few pieces of black bread, no problem!" ”

Nina slapped it again, like thunder on the ground, and roared, "Put it away!" Hurry up! ”

Under their clumsy acting skills, the three of them revealed a secret: the "Han" of the two brothers was probably slapped by Nina.

The people around were attracted by the loud voices of the three drums and the occasional slaps, and many people stared at their tables, and the priceless "sapphire" couldn't take their eyes off it.

Many of them had red eyes and shortness of breath, and the treasure clearly aroused their crooked thoughts.

When you go out, you need to know that wealth is moving!

Just then, a hand reached over and grabbed the sapphire on the table.

"What are you doing?" Nada stood up and glared at the man who was grabbing the gem, and his two-meter-five size made the tavernkeeper's half-outstretched hand stand still in mid-air.

The tavernkeeper Old Bill narrowed his shrewd eyes, withdrew his hand without a trace, and smiled awkwardly, "Didn't you say that you would exchange stones for black bread?"

This broken stone is pretty good, how about I give you ten pieces of black bread? ”

The undisguised greed written on the tavernkeeper's face made his flattering smile look particularly distorted and disgusting.

This face made the two brothers see that the other wanted the white wolf with empty gloves, and they thought: Who doesn't know that the Orlan gem is worth a lot! You old man, are you taking people for fools?

Nina stopped the two brothers who wanted to scold, and said to them angrily: "You two brainless fools, you know how to eat all day long!"

Have you eaten enough? When you're full, hurry up and hurry back to the city. ”

Then she packed the sapphire from the table into a delicate little cloth bag, and ping-pong as she tightened the closure.

"You put away the treasure, don't let others steal it." Nina raced the gem into Nada's inner pocket and patted it gently, and a dense crisp sound was heard.

"Mother, don't worry! No one can snatch it from me! Nada was full of confidence, with a king-sized honest smile on his mouth, as if he had pasted the word "fat sheep" on his head.

Old Bill watched the mother and son go all the way, his eyes were green, greed and fanaticism were engraved on his face, and he said fiercely: "A bag of gems, a bag of gems!" This is a fortune! ”

Old Bill knew that he would definitely not be able to beat his brother Na Da by himself, but such a fat lamb made him unwilling to let go of his greed.

In this case, old Bill hurried to the house of the castle lord of the small village, and told the insatiable castle owner of the matter, and the other party would definitely rob the gems, and when the time came, a little soup and water would be enough for him to eat in the next life.

……

The three of Nina were walking fast, and it was difficult for ordinary people to catch up with them even with their bare hands.

But no matter how fast the manpower is, it can't be faster than the carriage.

Soon, the neighing and shouting of horses could be heard behind them.

Looking back, it was two inferior horses pulling a wooden cart to rush over, and there were more than a dozen people crowded on the cart, and from a distance, it looked like a firewood stack was loaded on the wooden board.

As the carriage got closer and closer, Nina did not continue to run away or turn to the mountains and forests, but suddenly stopped.

She told the two brothers to hurriedly take out the long kitchen knives in the package, and stood back to back, glaring at the castle owner in the car.

Nada spotted Old Bill hiding in the crowd at a glance, and said angrily: "Old Bill, you brought people here?" ”

At this time, his emotions are not pretended, they are anger from the heart!

True rage!

"Old Bill, we brothers have not offended you! You opened a tavern, we never gave less money for dinner, and even someone drank in your restaurant to make trouble, or my brothers helped you settle it!

Is this how you old fellow repaid us two brothers? Na Er's anger surged, and his face turned purple with anger.

Old Bill stood behind the crowd and said embarrassedly: "One yard to one yard, these are two different things." ”

Anyone who bullies honest people will not be happy in their hearts, but when they really encounter interest correction, the bullying target chosen by treacherous people is often the honest person.

The castle lord of the township, a middle-aged man with two mustaches and a meaty face, couldn't help laughing when he saw the two brothers: "It turns out that you two fools!"

Hurry up and hand over the stones, and I'll go back and give you a chance to go back to farming, or you'll die here today." ”

When he said this, more than a dozen thugs behind him unexpectedly showed their farm tools, wooden sticks, and kitchen knives in their hands, and they rushed over with their guys in a short time.

It seems that he is familiar with the road, and over the years, he may have done many robberies and robberies.

"Plant your mother's land! Why do my brothers work hard to farm and go hungry, you don't do anything at home, but you can eat and drink spicy food. Na's eyes were red, and his body trembled a little with anger.

The lord of the castle laughed angrily at this fool, and said with a smile while beckoning people to surround them: "This is the land that Viscount George gave me money to buy, and gave you a job so that you can have enough to eat." ”

"Then what did you buy the land with, and why didn't we receive any money!" Naji questioned the other and stopped Nina behind him.

"Food, of course! The food you receive is the reward that Viscount George has given you. The castle lord replied solemnly, not thinking that there was anything wrong with what he said.

"Isn't that the food we grow? Why can he buy our land with the grain we grow himself! Nada and Na Er looked at each other and said in unison.

The lord of the castle was speechless, but he couldn't say it, so he was annoyed and angry: "What nonsense are you talking about, giving you food is worthy of you, and the things are obediently taken out." ”

At the same time, fifteen or sixteen thugs with farm tools and sticks had already wrapped up the three of Nina.

"This is our thing, why give it to you!" Na Er clenched the long kitchen knife in his hand, and the blue tendons on his forehead were exposed.

The castle owner hid in the rear, and was also a little timid about the strong size of the two brothers, and persuaded again: "Why, because we have a lot of people, it is you who rob it, you can still live if you hand it over today, if you don't want to hand it over, you will die!" ”

Nina grabbed the angry two brothers, signaled them not to be impulsive with her eyes, her voice trembled a little, and said, "It's okay to give you the gem, but you have to let us go first."

Anyway, you have a carriage that can catch up with us at any time, and when we get out of the mile, we throw the gems on the ground, and how about you pick them up when the time comes? ”

The castle lord originally wanted to agree to this matter directly, but the tavern keeper Old Bill reminded in a whisper: "They don't just have one gem in their hands, what if they secretly hide one or two on their bodies?" ”

Old Bill will do whatever it takes once, he wants the second time, the third time, greed is never-ending, greed completely occupies his heart, what is the point of revenge and murder?

Both sides were in a stalemate, and they were both a little hesitant, the reason why they didn't fight was because they both held weapons in their hands, and their swords and guns had no eyes, even if they were sturdy, they couldn't withstand a knife.

But the thugs got closer and closer, and the big brothers had no way to retreat, and just as they were about to fight, a black shadow suddenly burst out from the ground.

For a moment, yellow sand and dust sprinkled the sky.

When the dust settled, a sharp blade clung to the castle master's throat.

"Everyone, don't move!"
