Chapter 16: The Brotherhood of Destiny
After hesitating for a long time, the big mouse ate the small piece of bread after confirming that there was no other choice, and the originally sweet and delicious bread now became the most difficult thing in the world to swallow, and it even had a premonition of its own death, lying on the desk and clawing at its neck.
"Oops, I'm having trouble breathing, I'm going to die soon, I haven't told my kids about the rules they need to follow when looking for food, and my wife, who's still waiting for me to go back and tell him what happened today, woo woo."
Looking at the noisy rat on the desk, Luo Ning knocked on the table.
"Your acting skills are top-notch, but don't pretend now."
The big mouse was stunned for a moment, got up from the table, then let go of the claws that grabbed his neck, and after a few movements, he was ecstatic.
"I don't have a problem...... Great, I thought you were going to kill me. ”
Luo Ning continued to tap on the table, leaned in front of the big mouse, and grinned.
"You are still of some use to me, and your life will not be in any danger for the time being."
The big rat hesitated.
"For the time being?"
Luo Ning nodded and got up, glanced at the door in the direction of the bedroom to make sure that no child woke up, so as not to be frightened by the current scene, and then lowered his voice.
"You know I'm a doctor, and a doctor not only heals the disease, but also creates the disease. The disease doesn't kill you immediately, but if you don't treat it in time, you will eventually die, I got some medicine on that piece of bread, and now you have no problem, but if you don't get the medicine in three days, your whole body will rot and die, and then the disease will spread to your children and wives, and they will die. ”
The big rat was almost paralyzed, lying on the table.
"So I'm going to die, and so will my wife and children."
After a deliberate pause for a long time, Luo Ning's voice changed.
"But if you come to me once a day, I'll give you the antidote, of course, provided you make good on your promise to get your fellow human beings and cousins to provide any information I want to know."
The big rat wilted and scratched its ears.
"I'll give you any information you want, I promise."
Luo Ning was quite satisfied, immediately made an appointment, and gave the big mouse a name to facilitate future communication.
"Your name is Franklin from now on, and you'll meet here every night at eight o'clock from now on."
After saying that, he opened the door.
"You're free."
Franklin looked back at Benjamin, still afraid to move.
"Don't worry, Benjamin won't hurt you, it does what I want, and you're my helper now, if anyone hurts you, I'll give it the cruelest punishment."
After receiving the assurance, Franklin did not leave the gate, climbed up the wall and disappeared on the roof.
"These guys are not to be trusted, they have no integrity to speak of, treacherous and cunning is in their nature." Benjamin watched the rat slip away, venting his frustration. "You'll regret your decision."
Luo Ning closed the door and returned to the cabinet, took out a raw beef and put it on the ground, and began to stir the firewood in the stove to keep the flame strong.
"I don't see that in them, but I see a lot in you."
Benjamin's two eyeballs glowed green and cold under the faint light coming in from the window, and he quickly jumped to the ground and picked up the piece of beef, and his voice was indistinct.
"You're not going to drug my meat like you did with those rats, are you?"
Now that it's almost dark, I have to cook for the children, and I took out the remaining ingredients from the cabinet, Luo Ning raised his eyebrows proudly as he cleaned up the soil on the surface of the potatoes without raising his head.
"It's just an ordinary loaf of bread with a little alcohol on it, and it will be slightly uncomfortable after eating it, and it won't be fatal."
Benjamin was quick to feast.
Coming to this world did not accept the memories of this body about medicines, let alone what poisons were concocted, and even the medicines in the counter could cure what diseases, if someone really came to the door because of illness, they would have to think of a way to do it at that time.
In addition, there is a problem that needs to be solved immediately, and that is the problem of lack of ingredients.
Now that the population of eating has increased greatly, the six children, plus themselves and the bounty hunters who should be back soon, the remaining ingredients are all processed, which is only enough for tonight, and tomorrow will be hungry, and now I finally know that when I bought the ingredients, Ms. Ye Nifu had to take the initiative to remind herself of the matter of the Black Iron Army, so that she could buy more ingredients.
After taking out half of the remaining potatoes and cleaning them, as well as some remaining beef, and a few remaining eggs, Ronin thought for a moment and decided to make some potato cakes, followed by a few skewers of roast beef, and scrambled eggs.
While cooking, the children woke up one after another, sitting around their desks, waiting for the meal to begin.
For an hour, several plates of hash browns were served, along with roast beef skewered on sticks, and finally a plate of scrambled eggs, which the children were curious about.
Luo Ning told the children to wait, and it was already completely dark at this moment before he opened the door, and not far away, a horse came slowly on the snow and stopped at the door.
The bounty hunter jumped down from his horse and patted the black horse on the neck, and the black horse left alone, and walked to the door, looking tired and without saying a word, and went into the house.
After seeing the children, he was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, waved hello, and then sat down at the desk.
Luo Ning didn't know what this guy had gone through, so he smiled helplessly.
"We don't dare to say, we don't dare to ask."
Close the door and go back to the table to eat.
The arrival of the stranger made the children very reserved, but they could not bear the attraction of the delicious food on the table, and the food was quite pleasant, after which Ronin immediately sent the children back to the bedroom, and told Haaland to tell the story to the other five.
"Your skills with chopsticks have improved a lot."
Casually praising the gloomy bounty hunter, Luo Ning put away the tableware on the table, washed and cleaned up, sat down at the desk, and considered whether to tell the other party about his special abilities.
Quinine Carrick broke the silence first, taking the pocket off his waist and tossing it on the table, making a crisp sound that even a stupid pig could tell it was money.
"From now on you are one of the members of the Brotherhood of Destiny, and you will be paid a good monthly payment, fifteen guilders, which is much higher than your income as a teacher and doctor."
Luo Ning looked at the money bag and was stunned on the spot.
"Domineering president?"
Came back to his senses and squeezed out a smile that was not too embarrassed.
"Well, I probably understood what you mean, you want me to join your organization, and then I will be paid a monthly salary, and the pay sounds ...... Great, but before you do that, can you explain the Brotherhood of Destiny before I think about joining? ”
