Chapter 55: Whose Like?
The window that was not closed all night, the morning breeze blew in,
Bill, who was on the bed, had a bad premonition under his clear perception.
A small stone statue of a ghost slowly flew to the window under the power of steam.
The small earthy yellow eyes instantly locked on to the figure in the room.
Bill's eyes froze, and the body pressed on the bed instantly swept the two of them with the quilt, and quickly retreated naked.
In the next second, the small pale imp stone statue opened its mouth, and gunpowder bullets that ignited the fuse shot out of the imp's mouth.
The bombs, which were considered contraband in Debang, flew out from under the window in large areas, dozens of them. All in Bill's direction.
Boom -
The loud noise was continuous, the bed and chair were blown up and shattered in an instant, and even the bucket left in the room was also blown up, and the bucket full of water was all spread on the ground, wet.
Bill, on the other hand, disappeared completely under a cloud of smoke between the bombs.
The entire second floor of the hotel was blown up by this sudden attack, but fortunately, the power of the explosives was not great, and although a lot of furniture was destroyed, it was not enough to collapse at once.
Several lead bombs, which failed to reach the window, fell from the second floor of the hotel down the wall to the ground, resulting in another series of explosions.
The surface here is not the kind of marble paving that Bill has seen, but is directly mixed with earth and gravel, so in this case, under the explosive power of the bomb, it is natural that it cannot be spared, and in an instant, there are many large and small pits on the ground, and even the foundation of the corner of the hotel wall has been blown out of a large piece.
The series of explosions has alarmed many residents, many of whom have already stuck their heads out of the windows to watch, and people on the street have rushed to this corner.
Bill, who was in the room, quickly escaped to the first floor with his quick reflexes, and was able to use the rest of the bombs with ease.
Scattered pieces of wood fell upstairs, mixed with a lot of water droplets, and landed at Bill's feet at the edge of the stairs, and when he looked up, he saw that a hole had been broken in the top of his head.
"Humph! Old guys! Wait for me."
Bill snorted angrily, and the seed energy buried in his heart made Bill know very clearly who was doing the ghost.
After a few moments, the sounds from upstairs died down, and in the smoke-filled environment, Bill lifted a corner of the quilt, and the two cowered and frightened showed their heads.
Seeing their naked appearance, Bill considered his own situation and hurriedly found a towel to surround it.
"You two, follow me upstairs!"
With that, Bill raised his arm and picked up the two of them who had been frightened by the inexplicable explosion.
The innkeeper, and the laborer, Bill didn't see their shadows, and he didn't think much of them, and he stepped on the stairs and pedaled upstairs.
On the second floor, where the smell of gunpowder was stronger, Bill glanced anxiously at the window, then hurriedly put down the quilt and quickly searched for his belongings.
Frowning, Bill rummaged through it quickly, his expression even more gloomy.
The wooden light crossbow was only half of the bowstring, and his two daggers were missing in the explosion, and the only thing left was the longsword that was flicked and forked on the roof, but Bill couldn't touch it.
The only thing that kept Bill from running away on the spot was probably that his crystal coins were still there!
The place where you put your clothes and crystal coins is surprisingly safe!
Quickly getting dressed, Bill tossed Kerr and Lydia's clothes over again.
"Get dressed in twenty seconds! We're getting out of here! ”
In order to get out of the matter that followed, Bill did not intend to stay.
Lydia in the quilt panicked for a second, and then quickly crawled out of the quilt, and without waiting for Bill's gaze to converge, she hastily put on her clothes.
Kerr, on the other hand, was simply helped by Lydia to put on a coat.
Licking his dry lips that had slept all night, Bill walked away without looking back, and there was a long corridor at the back door of the inn, and he didn't know where it was connected.
Bill grabbed two bags of coins and strode away, and Lydia and Kerr behind him hurried to catch up.
At the other end, there was a cold breakfast shop, because it was deserted, so no one came, and Bill swaggered on the street.
The panic of the masses caused by the explosion has continued to escalate the incident, and groups of chengguan soldiers are rushing to block this large area.
Squeezed into the crowd around him, Bill stuffed the money bag into his clothes, then turned his head, grabbed the two behind him, and carefully protected them.
"Do you have a safe place?"
The explosion of gunpowder frightened Lydia a a lot, she was still restless, her heart was pounding, but fortunately, between her clothes, there was also the precious crystal coin given by the big people around her.
"No!?" Lydia shuddered two words, and Lydia felt her heart skip a beat.
"Really??" Bill pressed his face closer to Lydia in disbelief,
"You think I'm a dangerous person, don't you? I can understand you doing that. Without waiting for Lydia to give in under his intimidation, Bill said indifferently.
Lydia's face changed, and she buried her head nervously, not daring to make eye contact with Bill, she could indeed provide a safe place, but he was not worried about this man
The footsteps of the three of them, the hasty walking, the dirt deposit path under their feet, there were already more and more grasses.
When he got to a place where there were few people, Bill let go of Lydia on his right.
"Yesterday, I was satisfied, you can leave." Bill had no intention of explaining it to her, and neither could he.
Lydia saw Bill's palm move away, a little helpless, not knowing what she was going to say.
"I'm in danger right now, so let's end the fate of the acquaintance! You didn't have to be like that yesterday, okay, let's go. ”
Hugging Kerr beside him, Bill turned around without any expression.
Before Bill could take a step, the hand that had just been holding Lydia was grabbed by a small soft hand.
"Thank you."
Behind him, a weak voice with a slight nervous and unexpected sobbing sounded.
"Hehe,"
Bill turned his face sideways and smiled back, but what he saw was Lydia with tears on her face.
Seeing that Bill actually turned his head to look at herself, Lydia hurriedly buried her little face with water marks at a loss, not daring to look at Bill's eyes.
Bill's smile deepened a little, and he gradually exhaled deeply, and then leaned closer to Lydia's little face, and then leaned down and kissed it slowly.
"You're cute, goodbye!"
Bill didn't know if what he had done was too much, this little girl, although the contact time was too short, but she really left a deep impression on Bill's heart
That kind of uncontrollable love has only appeared in Gina's body.
It's just that when they meet in Pingshui, Bill is on a mission to protect him, which dooms this love to not last long, and besides, he himself is still adrift and homeless, and he is involved too much.
Bill just glanced at Lydia nostalgically, and then silently chose to leave.
"A drag oil bottle, it's annoying enough? Right! Kerr? ”
On the last walk through, Bill smiled softly at Kerr.
Kerr also laughed stupidly twice, which counted as a response.
The two Bills, who were drifting apart, soon disappeared completely from Lydia's vision, wiped her tears vigorously, and then ran away as fast as she could.
Bill and Kerr pulled Kerr, and the two walked along the road under their feet for more than ten minutes, and they arrived at a simple tea shed.
"Come, stay with me!"
Bill sat down first, and then pulled Kerr to his side as well.
There were no extra guys in the tea shed, only a thin old man, wearing a thick cloth robe, there was nothing surprising, but when Bill looked at him, he immediately felt the difference in the old man's eyes, which were not at all like the cloudy eyes that an old man should have, but pure and bright.
"What do you want to drink?"
The riverside city such as the Serpentine River, due to the special relationship of the region, there is no fixed division of jurisdiction, and the human city-state built by the mountains and rivers, the two banks of the river are connected to the residential and commercial blocks, such a pattern, at first glance, it sounds incredible, but in fact, it is the direction of the people, and it is born over time.
It's a little remote, but it's not too quiet, and Bill looks around and sees that there are still a lot of people here in the tea shed.
Bill's act of not answering made the energetic old man not the slightest dissatisfied.
"Young man, do you want tea? Three copper cups for yellow tea flower tea, five copper cups for green tea and black tea? ”
"What is yellow tea?" Bill didn't order tea, but asked casually.
"Yellow tea, that is naturally the tea made from the buds of the yellow grass in the mountains, Tukehuo, young people want to have a cup first, to eliminate the fire?!"
"Huh? How do you know I'm angry? Bill asked more puzzled, he is really angry now, even angry, he was attacked by a bomb early in the morning, Bill couldn't bear it at all! What's more, in his own situation, Bill already knew that this was the person provoked by yesterday's small fair, and he was also attacked by that shameless guy, if it weren't for this Ke'er by his side, Bill would have wanted to follow the Dark Seed to kill the door immediately!
"Look at your eyes, they're as red as rabbits! Young man, it's not good to be so impetuous! Come, have a cup of tea to quench the fire. ”
When Bill heard this, he immediately choked, he coughed so badly that he had an urge to vomit blood.
"Look at you, what are you excited about? Young people, don't be impulsive! If you are impulsive, it is easy to do the wrong thing, and when the time comes! It's too late to regret it" This bright-eyed old man, without waiting for Bill's answer, slowly poured him a cup of yellow tea.
"Looking at your outfit, I guess you've just come here, so you don't have a lot of money, right? These two cups of tea, even if they are given to you by my old man, young man, this place is not easy to mix, look at your rustic, don't provoke those dignitaries! This counts as my advice. ”
Bill finally stopped coughing, he stared at the hot tea that was brought to his eyes, and replied in a strange tone: "You are really well-informed and know-it-all!" ”
"That's it, after living for such a long time, what else haven't you seen? Okay, you two drink slowly."
Bill was so angry by the old man's confident appearance that he almost flipped the table, but after all, people have no malice, and Bill is unlikely to bully people with nothing to do.
He picked up the small porcelain cup, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and Bill drank it all.
"How does it smell like muddy water?"
Bill's eyes were pricked up, and he barely spit out the unpalatable tea, if he hadn't seen that the cup of tea was actually poured out of the kettle, Bill would have thought that someone else was pranking himself!
"What a bad day today!"
Patting his clothes, Bill got up, but Kerr sat next to him, his eyes looking at the cup of yellow tea that belonged to hers.
"It's what you're going to drink"
Bill said with a strange look.
Then grab the teacup and carefully feed Kerr.
Bill thought that his actions were serious and careful enough, but he didn't expect to burn Ke'er directly, and as a result, Ke'er's habitual strange scream attracted the attention of some people.
The curtain of the tea shed was lifted in several places, and they all subconsciously cast their eyes on Bill.
"Let you scream!"
Kerr's mouth was hot and red, making Bill have to admit the fact that energy creatures no longer have the perception of temperature
"Let's go! Find a place to eat. Bill didn't say the next word, which was to settle Kerr, and then find a time for himself to take revenge on the hateful man who was dressed in black and had a long sword scabbard and dared to sneak up on him twice.
Bill looked at the corners of Kerr's mouth and saw that she wasn't too badly burned, so he ignored it.
Grabbed her sleeve and was about to get out of here.
But the scene that just happened had been seen by an extremely familiar person, but she didn't speak aggrieved, nor did she stretch out her hand to greet Bill.
This person, it is Gina in the depths of the tea shed, for the sake of the family's business, ran all the way here to find the help of the former business partners, Gina only arrived this morning, because she had been in the carriage for too long, she was too tired, and it happened that she arrived at the tea shed on this side of the Serpentine Land, she rested here for a while, but she didn't expect to see her beloved young master,
Just now, Bill's sloppy behavior mixed with concern was understood by Gina as 'intimacy', she was very happy to see Bill, but the girl who sat down obediently next to Bill made her feel wronged.
Looking at Bill's back as he walked farther and farther away, Gina nervously wiped her aggrieved tears, then grabbed the document bag around her and rushed out from behind the curtain.
At a trot, he quickly caught up with Bill.
Noticing the movement behind him, Bill also turned his head.
Unbelievable Bill, his red eyes widened at this moment: "Gina? ”
"Brother" Gina stood in front of Bill, and said with some trepidation, her petite body seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind at any time, Gina was a girl, and a few days of running had consumed her little energy, and her weak body was now as thin as paper.
Seeing the person who was thinking about it day and night, Bill still controlled his mood, his heart trembled, so he stepped forward excitedly and hugged Gina tightly.
Once upon a time, under the barren mountains and moon, I don't know how many times I missed the girl in my dreams, and I don't know how many times I fell into the beautiful years, and came to this world, Gina is all of Bill's emotional sustenance, and what Gina gave Bill is not only an attachment emotion, but also a truly complete home, and the best destination for a lost wanderer.
Bill loves Gina, likes it without any purpose!
And now, this girl is standing in front of Bill!
Bill hugged Gina hard, eager to give her all the love, feeling her body that was almost collapsed from exhaustion during this time, Bill's throat was a little choked, and he came to Gina's face to comfort him, but he was a little suffocated and speechless for a while.
The men and women embracing each other naturally attracted a large number of passers-by to watch
But Beer's blank world never has the shadow of superfluous people.
"How did you get here? Is something going on at home? ”
couldn't bear to let go of his hand, Bill gently picked up Gina in front of everyone, looking at his gentle posture, he couldn't wait to put Gina in the palm of his hand.
Gina's face was red by Bill's intimate actions, and she was tired of being in Bill's arms, wanting to get a little more of her lover's heart.
"I'm here to visit my Uncle Ann, and he lives here." For the sake of the family's economic disconnection, Gina's act of having to beg for help turned into a family visit.
"Uncle?" Bill's fingers shaved Gina's black hair, he had never known any of his uncles, and his military family was unlikely to have too much to do with anyone, except for the conflict of interests, there was no intersection, there was a doubt in his heart, Bill asked rhetorically.
"Hmm-"
Gina gave a soft 'um' and nodded.
"Let's go together! I'll be with you. ”
The thing he wanted to retaliate against was postponed by Bill's unconditional choice, Gina ran so far alone, Bill was a little uneasy, and besides, the serpentine river, a slightly farther away, was indeed not safer than his own, Bill had already thought about it, after reading his uncle, he had to send Gina back quickly, in the history of the alliance world, the serpentine river was too dangerous!
"This" Gina's lovely eyes widened, if Bill did go with her, then the business alliance in the family would definitely not be able to be handled.
Clenching the cooperation proposal in her hand, Gina swallowed at a loss.
"Okay, that's it!"
Seeing Gina's charming appearance, Bill happily picked up her little body again and kissed the girl's fragrant lip prints
There are coincidences in the world, really coincidences are unbelievable, maybe you can choose not to believe it, but it happens when you don't believe it.
After a while, Bill took Kerr and Gina to the large courtyard of Uncle Ann's house, and stood in front of the iron fence gate, waiting for the butler and the maid to report.
Holding Bill's arm silently, Gina wanted to ask him what he had been doing during this time, and wanted to tell the story of what happened in the Ya'an River, as well as the beautiful red moon in the sky, but she didn't dare to speak, afraid that her question would make her brother unhappy, Bill, is all she has, very important.
While waiting, Gina secretly glanced at Kerr on Bill's other side, and suddenly heard Bill's question.
"Gina, don't you want to ask me what I've been doing all this time?"
Bill noticed Gina's actions and asked so, of course, he felt a little weak when he thought about Nadia, and he always felt sorry for his lover.
"It's good if my brother likes it"
The well-behaved Gina gave Bill a sweet smile and made Bill's heart warm.
