Volume 5 Days in the Sun One Hundred and Seventy-Nine, The So-Called Life of Suffering
Craba is a little mercenary, or rather, he used to be a small mercenary, and now, he has become a subordinate of a noble man, no longer the poor boy who can't even eat, is sold to the city as a thief, steals things, and is half dead and thrown into prison to do hard labor, and finally escapes to other places with the escaped people
His master is a nobleman, and he is not an ordinary nobleman, when he was in Ito, as long as the identity of the master was revealed, even the tavern did not dare to charge him money, he relied on his flexible skills and smart mind, he has left a good impression on the master, as long as he makes two or three more contributions, maybe he can make a small nobleman, when the time comes, he can return to his hometown in a bright light, take revenge on those guys who once bullied him, and let his parents who looked down on him look at him back then, he also has a day to get ahead!
But they don't want to get a little light, he won't give them a penny, let them regret going!
Krabar imagined this wonderful scene beautifully, but was woken up by a lap of his companion: "What are you in a daze?!" The fish shop has arrived! As soon as he looked up, sure enough, the sign of the fish shop was less than a meter in front of him, and he almost bumped into it, and he complained in his heart that his companion had slapped him so painfully, and he didn't remind him in advance, so he casually dropped a "Got it", and entered the store with his head up
A strong and powerful man like him, willing to work in a small fish shop, was already very aggrieved, the boss actually circled around him a few times, hesitated for a long time, but refused to nod, he was anxious: "Boss! I'm very strong, you let me do it! ”
The fish shop owner glanced at him, took two puffs of cigarette and knocked his pipe a few times, and then said slowly: "You want to come to work, you can, but there are a few things I want to make clear, if you can't do it, just get out of me immediately."
Crabbar held back his anger, bowed his head and said, "Please do whatever you ask, I will do it as long as you are willing to keep me" bastard! Actually let such a great future nobleman bend down to him? When the matter is over, you must teach him a good lesson!
"First, your wages are two hours a copper plate, and you will be provided with lunch when you go back to the store at the end of five days, and you can solve it yourself when you sleep."
What the?! A copper plate for two hours? When he entered the door just now, he obviously heard the other workers talking, saying that their hourly wage was one copper plate per hour, and it was paid on the same day! Even if he's not here to make money, there's no reason to be exploited like this, right?
He expressed a little dissatisfaction, and the boss immediately blew his beard and glared: "If you are too little, you will leave!" You are a foreigner of unknown origin, it would be good if someone was willing to give you a job, but you are still suspicious?! ”
Kraba remembered the purpose of his coming here, and held back his anger and whispered, "I accept..."
The boss nodded with satisfaction and said, "Second, the work I assigned to you must be done as soon as possible, and you must not be lazy!" Otherwise, get out of here! ”
“… Yes"
"The third uh..."The boss scratched his hair and couldn't remember what the third one should be, so he waved his hand: "Go to work!" Wash me the pools in the back of the ground first! ”
Kraba was a little stunned: "It's not that I mean... Going for a delivery? ”
The boss glared at him: "What kind of goods are you sending early in the morning?!" The fish hasn't been delivered yet! Craba had no choice but to go
Several old pools in the backyard were deserted for a long time, emitting a fishy smell, the moss at the bottom of the pool was so thick that it was slippery, as soon as he stepped into it, he fell on all fours, and finally struggled to get up and slipped again, so he had to half-squat and clean the bottom of the pool with a wooden brush, the water soaked his clothes, a gust of wind blew, and the cold made him sneeze several times
Finally finished brushing two, it was already noon, Craba was dizzy with hunger, as soon as he stood up, his eyes were black, and he finally stepped out of the pool, and then looked at the remaining two stinky pools, and there was an urge to vomit
Two small workers walked by, covering their noses far away, and whispered: "The old pool that has been empty for several years has finally been cleaned up, where did the boss find a fool?" "I heard that it's a foreigner, the origin is unknown, leave him alone, let's eat, I heard that there is broth today" "Really?! That's great..."
Crabba's body shook, gritted his teeth and insisted on getting rid of the brush and washing his hands, and wanted to go to eat, but a small worker pinched his nose and took a plate, and said: "The boss said, you stinky all over your body, don't go out, just eat here" and then dropped his things and ran
Kraba looked at the hard black bread and thin batter soup on the plate, and he really couldn't rush to the boss and slap him a few times, he was a noble future aristocrat! That stinky old man dared to ask him to eat such a thing?! He hadn't touched this kind of pariah's food since he followed his current master, and it really didn't make sense!
He turned around angrily and was about to leave, but when he thought about his task, and when he was assigned the task yesterday, the team leader said to himself...
Well, he'll put up with it for once!
Craba barely held back the nausea and stuffed the black bread into his mouth, drank two sips of soup, then brushed the pool again and finally finished brushing, he ran to the boss with a straight face and said, "It's been cleaned up, are you going to the lord's mansion to deliver fish next?" ”
The boss glanced at him and said contemptuously: "Wash it so slowly, the things have already been delivered!" ”
"You!" Crabba grabbed him by the collar and was about to get angry, but he was hit in the wrist by one of his pipes, and he had to withdraw his hand
The boss casually threw two copper plates: "Rude guy! Get out of here! Don't let me see you again! Actually want to hit someone? Beware of me going to the Lord's Mansion to sue you! ”
Craba was so angry that he trembled, he didn't want to swallow his anger anymore, he was about to beat him with a fist, and he was smashed by other workers and blocked by an empty fish basket and wanted to do it again, but he was forced to pull out, and he was about to get angry, but he was scolded in the head: "You stupid!" You've messed things up! ”
When he saw that he was the team leader, he said aggrievedly: "They bullied me!" They did it on purpose! ”
The team leader's eyes widened: "I only saw that you were going to beat someone!" It's useless! Come back with me! He turned his head angrily and left, and Craba had to hang his face and follow on the way back to the inn, everyone covered their noses and avoided them, and some women pointed at them, I don't know what to say to their children, Crabba only felt extremely aggrieved
When he returned to the inn, he immediately asked the clerk to bring water to bathe him, and the clerk ignored it and said, "It's already been delivered, what do you want to do?" "I just left
Only then did Kraba discover that he was unlucky enough to have a companion who had gone to the butcher's place to do a short job, and was assigned the task of cleaning all the pigs' nests, and another was lucky enough to be hired by the lord's mansion only to find out that it was a companion who was lucky enough to clean the manure tank near the back door, and either bathed the cow for a day, or chopped a whole half of the yard of firewood in the backyard of the winery
In comparison, he is not the most miserable one
The team leader was first suspicious: "Why did all of us encounter this kind of thing?" No one can enter the Lord's Palace? Could it be that someone is doing it on purpose..."
"Probably not, right?" The person who bathed the cow spoke: "These are all dirty work, and the locals don't want to do it, so they will ask us from other places to do it, if we hold on for two more days, they will think that we are credible, and give us important things to do, I did a good job today, and the boss said, let me go to the lord's mansion to deliver milk in a few days"
The team leader's eyes lit up: "Really? Did he really say that?! ”
"That's great! So our plan is going to succeed?! Craba was so happy that he barely jumped up, and when they were done, he was going to beat the fish shop owner out of his anger!
The man who bathed the cow glanced at his companions a little proudly: "Of course, I said that you are not pretending to be good enough, in order to complete the task, what are you afraid of?" If you only think about pleasure and don't do things, how can you explain to your superiors? ”
When Kraba heard this, he felt a little harsh: "What do you mean by only thinking about pleasure?!" You're the most relaxed one and you dare to say cool things?! ”
The team leader hurriedly pulled him to sit down: "Don't make any noise!" What are you arguing about?! He glanced at the man who bathed the cow, and felt a little dissatisfied
The person who swept the pig's nest lifted his eyelids and turned to his companion next to him: "I said, you have arrived at the back door of the Lord's Mansion, can you find a chance to sneak in?" ”
These words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and his companion was a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone: "This... Although it is at the back door, it is actually far away, there are a lot of trees planted in the backyard of their house, and a few vegetable patches are opened, so I can't see the situation in the house clearly, and there are many soldiers guarding it, I can't even approach the back door."
"That's enough!" The team leader waved his hand, "Pay more attention to the nearby terrain, if the milk delivery side is not successful, let's sneak in through the back door at night"
"It's... Well..."The man was full of reluctance, who wanted to smell the smell of the manure tank every day
Minna left the wall, covered her mouth and threw herself on the bed and laughed, Alex also sat down next to her with a smile: "You guy, you actually let so many people play with you, but you did a good job, those people haven't found out that they are being coaxed until now"
"Isn't that just right?" Minna stood up with a smile, "The owners of those shops have been worried for a long time, and no one has done any dirty work, they have a lot of strength anyway, so they can use it just right, so they should serve us Meiton."
"So what's next? You play for fun, but don't really let them touch your house."
"Don't worry" Minna's mouth curled, "The show is not over yet"
After the group of people next door finished discussing, they remembered that each other's bodies were stinking, and they hurriedly got up and went back to the room to take a bath, but the innkeeper came to the door with two strong clerks, and said casually: "Several guests have lived here for so many days, and the rules of the small store are that long-term guests settle accounts once every five days, please pay for these days first."
The team leader frowned: "Didn't you say that you would tie it up together when you left?" ”
The innkeeper glanced at him: "Isn't it convenient to tie the knot now?" Guest, our superior room is three silver coins a night, if you can't afford it, you can change to a regular room."
The team leader was not happy to hear this, so he paid casually: "Is this okay?" ”
"Okay," the innkeeper said, after collecting the money, "but a few customers must not have much money, right?" Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone around looking for odd jobs, and I would even be willing to do manure work! But you stink every day and drive away all my guests, I'm sorry, I'd better ask you to leave, I don't accept guests like you."
"You made it clear, what does that mean?!" The team leader straightened his waist and liver, revealing half of a dagger, "We don't have a lot of money for you!" ”
The innkeeper took a few steps back before he said, "Who knows where your money comes from?" The guy who digs dung and chops wood, only earns a few copper plates a day, and dares to live in a room for three silver coins a night?! You must want to eat and live for nothing, and now you want to intimidate me? Someone's coming, someone's going to kill someone! He shouted, and the two clerks shouted
The leader was shocked, if he alarmed the local patrol team and the people of the lord's mansion, it would be difficult for them to get out If he said his true identity, even if he could get free, he would also reveal the identity of his group, you must know that they are also somewhat famous in Ito, and he has a headache when he thinks of the trouble that will be brought to the master after revealing his identity
Kraba saw that the leader was in a daze, and the innkeeper had already left with someone shouting, and hurriedly dragged the former: "Boss, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave!" ”
The lord came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to jump out of the window and leave from the backyard, but as soon as they left, the boss quietly looked at the window, turned around and said with a smile: "Miss Minna, they really ran away"
"It's good to run away," Minna flipped a few cloth bags in her hand, "This is what the people in your store did?" Well done, it's yours."
The boss smiled: "Thank you, Miss" The two clerks who did it were also full of joy, looking at the heavy appearance of the cloth bags, they could share a lot of money
Craba followed his companions out of the distance before retreating, and when he turned back and saw that there were no pursuers, he was relieved to sweep the pig's nest and said with disgust: "It stinks!" It's no wonder that everyone avoids walking to another shop to take a shower."
Everyone agreed with his words, but before they took two steps, they found that the money bag that was originally placed in the carry-on package was gone, except for a few silver coins in the money bag of the team leader, and two people had no money except for the ten copper plate wages they had just received. ”
The team leader hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't go!" I don't think so! Maybe someone from the inn stole it, but we can't go back now."
Can't go back, a few silver coins are enough to rent a room to sleep in for two nights They plan to find other inns, who knows that all the stores refuse to accept them, not to mention that they are too smelly, just looking at the situation that they can only do odd jobs and do dirty work, you know that they have no money to live in the hotel, if they are really rich, why do they have to do that kind of work? Is there any unsightly purpose?
The team leader deeply felt that the previous decision was not clever enough, because he didn't want to treat himself badly, so he booked a high-end room in the best hotel, who knew it, but it made people suspicious, he took the opportunity to take people away, and when he was wandering on the street, he suddenly heard two people passing by talking: "There is a deserted house in the eastern suburbs outside the city, and now no one makes money, don't you say that your nephew has no place to live?" Let's go there and tidy up" "Now that my nephew has found a job, he doesn't need to find a house to earn money in the store, but thank you anyway"
The leader's eyes lit up, and he turned back to greet his companions: "Let's go, let's go outside the city!" ”
As soon as they left, the two passers-by looked at each other, ran to the corner of the street and smiled at Minna, who was waiting there: "Miss, they really went"
Minna smiled and paid and looked at Alex next to her, "What do you think they will encounter?" ”
Alex smiled: "I don't care what happens to them, I want to know when they will fall into the real trap"
