"Let's find a place to sit down first, three people and a cat, and I'll start doing it later." There was only a young girl wiping the table top at the wooden counter, and she raised her eyes slightly to sweep the group, and whispered, "If you can, please be lighter, my father is sleeping in it, and you won't want to wake him up." When he got up, he had a bad temper and even the bear had to avoid it. ”

Several people looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces indicated that the small shop had won their favor. Especially Cheese, the capable and upright girl always reminded him of the red-haired figure. If he could see her again, he would have to apologize for the unpleasantness that happened before the separation. Thinking so, Jian Qi had already swept out a suitable table with his sleeve, and he looked quite skilled in doing these things, "I worked as a buddy for the tavern when I was short of travel expenses on the road, but it was too long to cook for the guests, or maybe I would be a door-to-door son-in-law there." ”

Most solitary people are withdrawn, as are most people who have pursuits. This is not to say that they are bad, on the contrary, they live much better than people who live in a trance. But it is precisely because of this clarity that their views on most things are too direct, and they rely too much on their own judgment and experience, and over time, their isolation becomes paranoia, and they lose the ability to accept other possibilities. This was the case with cheese in the past, and it was also the same with Lothar in the past, knowledge, arrogance, past trauma, man will always inadvertently shape himself into a sculpture, which will never be modified again.

But Jian Qi gives people a different feeling. At the same time, walking alone, there is also a clear purpose, the sword seeker is obviously different from the original Atta in the Molten Iron City, he is like a pool of water, leaving his own pond col and still flowing comfortably on various terrains, encountering difficulties to bypass, encountering gaps and passing through. Cheese they have no doubt that he will be seen as a son-in-law, if Kenqi thinks, he can definitely do most of the work in this world, he is just a lump of mud, living for so many years not only did not shape his appearance, but became softer and more adaptable.

Jian Qi has been cooking for a long time, but the proprietress of Ivy is not slow to cook. Fried steak with pickled olives and greens, served with bread and bisque. Such a meal is not a sumptuous meal, but it is enough for a few people who have been wandering on the grassland for a while. However, before eating, the sword-seeker stopped a few people, shook a silver needle out of his sleeve, pricked it on the meat steak, and stirred it into the soup. After observing the appearance of the silver needle for a while, he carefully wrapped the needle with a cloth and made a gesture of please, "I'm sorry, it's always right to be careful when you're out alone." ”

"Hmph, if you want to eat at ease, you can go outside and catch it yourself, there is a guarantee that no one will poison you. The disgruntled voice of the proprietress came from the counter, and it is estimated that anyone who has finished cooking is tested for poison by the customer. Especially Jian Qi didn't shy away from doing this at all, as if he was deliberately trying to show her. It may have been, for after hearing the complaint, he immediately stood up and walked over.

"I'm sorry, but my friends have just come back from the prairie and have gained a lot. When I don't have anything on my body, I dare to eat anything caught in the mud, but now that I have silver in my arms, the white steamed buns have to be broken open and chewed to avoid choking to death. You say, isn't that the truth?" he said in a parable that may be a little difficult for people here, but the truth in it is very simple. Coupled with the smile on her face, the bulging cheeks of the girl behind the counter were immediately punctured, and she laughed out loud.

"Stay away from this kid in the future. Too dangerous. The cat fairy whispered to Atta, but it didn't say which point of Jian Qi was more dangerous.

"Okay, okay, no one here will care about your little money, eat yours. Our town is a town that supplies logs to the capital of the rushing river, so where will there be a shortage of money. "The sword seeker is like this, his facial features are not very thoughtful, and he will not make the opposite sex blush and heartbeat at a glance, but as long as you say a few words to him, you can feel like a spring breeze. And when the person's feeling is good, the door on his mouth is loosened, and as soon as Jian Qi's eyes turn, he has already grasped the available information from the other party's words.

"yes? This town has this background. Also, the area is densely forested and close to water sources, so it is easy to mine and transport timber. However, in the middle of summer, when the water is fast, isn't it a good time to cut wood? But yesterday outside the town, not only did we not hear any logging movement, we did not see the diggers, and even the wild animals walked as usual. This isn't what a logging town should look like. ”

"Well," the girl sighed, putting down the plate in her hand, "who says it isn't." I don't know why, this year's construction started very late, in previous years, this place has long been stuffed with guys who have gone out to finish work, they have worked all day, and they have eaten and drunk a lot. But you see, the store is clean now, but the things can't be sold, and the pigs you eat are still slaughtered last week. ”

"Ahem!" Cheese, who was munching on pork, coughed, and the meat in his mouth suddenly tasted a little rotten. This made him wonder how long the dish next to the meat would last.

"yes, that's pretty damn. Maybe he also worked in a restaurant, Jian Qi showed empathy for what the other party said, and then his eyes fell on the proprietress of the hostess, "Your hair is so beautiful, it's been a long time." Don't get me wrong, people in my hometown also have long hair, and I cut it for convenience, so I know it won't be easy to take care of it. ”

The little girl's face flushed slightly with her hair up to her waist, and she didn't know if it was because she was happy to be praised or because of something else, "You're right, my hair is well maintained." And it's not just me, you should have seen the guards when you entered the door, and their hair was not short. We people in the town of Hair like to have long hair, young and old. We believe that hair is a symbol of a person's spirit, and the longer the hair, the stronger the human spirit. So we don't cut our hair unless it's necessary!"

Jian Qi nodded, smiled and chatted with the other party again. Then he turned and sat back down at the table. His back was to the counter, his face sinking. The cat goblin swallowed the small fish in front of him into his mouth, and spit out a complete fish bone in three times and two times, in order to hide people's eyes, he had to take off his clothes, which made him quite unhappy, "What, you also want to be a son-in-law in this house? Are you out looking for a sword, or are you out looking for a daughter-in-law?"

"Hey, look at what you said. Don't look at me like this, in fact, I am already married, and the men of our Jianmen will find a good daughter-in-law at the age of thirteen, and they will get married at the age of twenty. I went out as a sword seeker, so I had to wait for the clan to get married, but my wife had already seen it. The sword seeker touched his neck and said with some embarrassment. However, in this era, it is not uncommon for a marriage partner at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but it is strange that Cheese has not yet married and started a family at such an age. However, the mage was not a worldly person, and besides, his relationship with the red fox had long been unclear, and these things did not apply to him.

"You've been out for eleven years, and your wife has been waiting for you for eleven years?" Atta asked with a wink, a little incredulous, she had never heard of anything like this. It is unheard of for a woman to wait for a husband who has not returned from home for more than ten years, and it is unreasonable to make a teenage girl wait for more than ten years.

"The same cannot be said. Jian Qi shrugged, "After all, when I went out, she had just been born. ”
