Chapter 18: This Is Still Human?!
In the days when the scarlet child became a hunter and made money by hunting on his own, some people in tattered clothes and yellow faces and thin muscles could occasionally be seen carrying goods for the merchants. Every time she is scarfed, she will be glad that the people who have kindly helped her have made her grow up normally and with dignity.
"Isn't borrowing money only for those who have reached adulthood?" Enkami, who has dealt with merchants a little, also knows that there are places where you can borrow money without collateral, but only to people who are adults and seem to be able to repay.
Zhu Yiran hesitated for a moment and said, "It was my father who borrowed the money, but it suddenly disappeared a month before the deadline was approaching. When the creditor came to the door a few days later, we couldn't pay the debt, and my mother's leg ailment needed to be treated...... So ......"
"So you're going to work in place of your father to pay off your debts?"
"Well, they came to the door again and again to collect debts, and my mother would cry silently for a long time after each time I left, but I was cowardly and incapable of making money, but I still couldn't bear to see my mother so sad and sad, so I ignored the dissuasion to ask the creditor, but fortunately, I was used to taking care of the sick and it was useful, and finally I could pay the debt in this way. As he spoke, Zhu Yiran's tears flowed down again.
After learning that Zhu Yiran knew medicine and medicine, the creditor asked her to try the hunter assessment, but she didn't expect her to be really qualified, so she was asked to go to the team organized by her son, the man with a scar on the corner of his mouth, as a healer to pay off the debt. How to say that Zhu Yiran was also a baby in the eyes of his father and mother before, the sudden collapse of the environment, coupled with the captain's oppression of himself, although he was wronged, he couldn't show it, especially in front of his mother.
But after the danger of losing his life just now and the care from the people he met for the first time, his feelings were uncontrollable all of a sudden, and his tears kept staying no matter how he wiped them.
"Yiran, you are much more valuable than you think of yourself," Zhu Yiran, who looked at Zhu Yiran, who was aggrieved and wept in front of him but didn't dare to cry loudly, said: "You who can stand up when you encounter difficulties at home, you who choose to endure when you encounter grievances, and you who do not run away after being protected but stay with us to face the danger." Each of you is strong, each of you is so brave, and each of you is like my favorite cherry hibiscus flower in the cold winter, tough and lovable. So, don't say you're good for nothing, huh?" said Scarlet, reaching out to hold Zhu Yiran's face, wiping away the tears on her face little by little.
Zhu Yiran was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly hugged the person in front of him who was looking at him with extremely gentle eyes, and cried even more fiercely.
Yuan Shanghan on the side looked at the scarlet man who threw him 'Did I do something wrong?', and then looked at Zhu Yiran, who was crying in a mess and without reservation, smiled helplessly, propped his hands behind his back, and relaxed a little.
"Brother Shanghan?" Gui Qingchen, who was sitting on the side, suddenly spoke up and said in a weak voice: "...... You...... It's holding my hand down, it's going to break. ”
"Ah, I'm sorry!" Enjohan quickly retracted his hand, "...... When did you wake up?"
Gui Qingchen rubbed his fingers and said, "Just now, you woke up." ”
Yuan Shanghan scratched his head embarrassedly, and was about to apologize again, when Zhu Yiran moved to Gui Qingchen from the side and hurriedly said, "You are awake! How does the wound feel?"
“...... Uh" Gui Qingchen looked at the girl in front of him, who was only two or three inches away from his face, and the big eyes with tears had been observing him, "There is still a faint pain, but there is no uncomfortable feeling anymore." ”
"Really? That's great. ”
Gui Qingchen looked at her smile because of reassurance, and the corners of her red eyes, for some reason, his heart throbbed, he turned his head sideways, and suddenly fiddled with the sundries on the carriage. "Hmm...... It should be fine...... Thank you. ”
"No, no, no, I want to thank you," Zhu Yiran turned to Scarlet, "Sister Scarlet, what if...... If I pay off my debts. When the time comes...... Can I still join you?"
Looking at her cautious tentative eyes, Scarlet touched her head: "Of course you can, as long as you want to come, we will always wait for you." ”
"Then I'll definitely go!" Zhu Yiran said happily.
Hmm, why do you have such a strong sense of déjà vu? Yuan Shanghan thought to himself, ah, I think about it, alas, how is it that Scarlet is exactly the same as Han Jian in this regard.
After explaining the follow-up treatment of the wound to Gui Qingchen, Zhu Yiran said goodbye to everyone. Although Enjohan asked her to return to Shelter City with the caravan, she still refused, saying that the commission had not been completed this time, and that her companion must still be nearby and needed to join them. Seeing her relieved appearance now, it was inconvenient for them to persuade her to stay any longer.
Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, Yuan Shanghan stood beside Gui Qingchen and said, "You just blushed. ”
“......”
"But the child was only 17 years old and underage. ”
“......”
"You can't ...... early Hmm. ”
"Ahhhh Gui Qingchen immediately covered his mouth.
Everyone in the caravan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Gui Qingchen was fine, and he told Brother Cai that he could already move around, and he couldn't delay it anymore after delaying for two or three hours. Brother Cai looked at his wounds and state, and then told him to be more careful in the future, and then turned around and beckoned everyone to get ready to leave immediately.
It's noon now, and while walking around to see the beautiful scenery around him, he nibbles on the dried venison strips after cooking for lunch, although this jerky is not qualified as a single dry lunch, but at least it is delicious, and the most important thing is that it can be stored long enough to make it easy to carry on the journey.
The way up the mountain is a long way, all the way to see the flowers and flowers will not feel that the time flies slowly, so until the sun has completely gone down, they reached the top of the mountain, set up camp on the top of the mountain at night to watch the stars blow the wind, as soon as the eyes are closed, the sun rises in the east again.
For the merchants who came from the Yuan Kingdom, these two mountain roads were the most annoying, the uphill road was long and tiring, the downhill road was steep and bumpy, so it went up and down at noon on the third day, and finally, I was able to stand on the top of the inner mountain and look down on the vast plains of the entire Shen Kingdom.
"That's all left for the descent, and after walking carefully, you can find someone to buy something to eat in the village at the foot of the mountain in the evening. "Brother Cai cheered up the tired big guy in the caravan.
The innermost mountain is a road down the hill that has been carved out on the side, with a stone wall on one side and a cliff on the other, so that if you are not careful, the wheels may be turned upside down by the potholes, and the goods on the car may also be thrown out. At this juncture, the loss of goods is the least likely to happen.
The three of them started with scarlet heads, Gui Qingchen in the middle, and Yuan Shang Han followed the order of the two carriages to avoid the above accidents.
Gui Qingchen's injuries have begun to scab over, except that they can't get wet. In the time since the injury, he has thought a lot.
In several dangers, it was obvious that he felt the gap between himself and those two, he was not capable of providing combat power, so he could only stay where he was and hold the shield and wait for the accident, which made him feel guilty but helpless. Besides, he can't help himself in the same generation of the team, how can he exaggerate that he wants to act with Brother Han Jian when the time comes? It seems that he has to practice hard, Gui Qingchen secretly made up his mind.
was walking, suddenly, Gui Qingchen heard a few slight cracking sounds from the stones above his head, and in the next second, a stone the size of half a carriage was about to peel off from the edge of the mountain, and at the same time, the scarlet man flashed from Gui Qingchen's sight, and one flew on the stone wall, and then ran along the stone wall to the falling rock.
Seeing that the falling rock was about to hit the first carriage of the caravan, the scarlet leaped forward, and with a loud shout, kicked the falling stone out of the road and fell into the bushes at the foot of the mountain.
And she was also pressed back to the stone wall because of the huge reaction force, she kicked the stone wall with her other foot, and the two forces were instantly dissolved, and then fell smoothly to the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief, and patted the dust on the hem of her clothes.
When Scarlet looked up again and saw everyone looking at her in shock, she herself didn't know why she began to panic. Although Brother Cai thanked her for her actions just now, which allowed them to avoid the loss of a truckload of goods, he finally educated him, saying that what to do if he accidentally fell down the mountain or was hit by a stone, it was not a loss that could be compared. It is said to be education, but in fact it is worrying.
And after witnessing the swift reaction of the scarlet from beginning to end, like a martial arts performance, he could only turn his head in amazement and ask Yuan Shanghan this unbelievable question: "This ...... Or human?!"
"Humans. Enjohan nodded.
