1753 Fate
"Call it a day."
When Lan Jie withdrew his sword, his opponent had already fallen to the ground, and the people around him shouted softly: "That's the Iron Falcon, there are more than ten good players, and there is a large thief group of thirty or forty people in total, and it was killed by one person." ”
"What's the matter, isn't he a doom spreader, isn't he just a third-rate hunter, when did he become so powerful."
"You don't know, he's gotten a lot stronger in the past few years, and he's already a first-class hunter. Now his commission is very high. ”
Lan Jie suddenly turned around and shouted, "Don't argue, you guys are arguing, hurry up and drag the body away." Really, do you want them to let it stink and stink, or do you want Uncle Ben to do this kind of work! ”
The men in the neighborhood hurriedly closed their mouths and dragged the bodies away from the street. A chubby man walked over and said with a smile, "Thank you very much for what Your Excellency Lan Jie has done. ”
"Thank you for your money." Rangier yelled behind him, "Hey, Alice, take the money." ”
The girl who came out of the crowd had grown up a lot, and now looked fifteen or sixteen years old. She was a lot more beautiful than before, especially her legs were thin and long, and the fat man was swallowing saliva when she saw it. Suddenly a dagger slapped on his fat face, he was startled, but it was Lan Jie who hugged him and smiled and asked, "That's my daughter, she looks good, right?" ”
The fat man laughed: "It's as beautiful as a princess." ”
"Yes, that's one of the things I'm proud of. I said fatty, put away your saliva. If Lao Tzu wasn't in a good mood today and dared to look at my daughter like this, I would have gouged out your two eyeballs a long time ago. ”
Then he let go of the fat man and said to Alice, "I'll go to the bar first." ”
"Don't drink so much, don't get drunk, because I can't lift you!"
"Got it, got it."
Walking up to the fat man, Alice spread her palms. The fat man took out a money bag from his arms and put it on the snow-white palm, Alice checked it, squinted and said, "A little less." ”
The fat man rubbed his hands and said, "It's not the first time I've entrusted Mr. Lanjie, so this time you can charge me cheaper." ”
"No way!" Alice said loudly: "That every penny was brought back by Lan Jie's life, and not a penny is missing." ”
Hearing this, Lan Jie turned his head and said, "That's right, that's right. ”
The fat man made a bitter face and took out another money bag from his arms.
Sitting on a chair at the bar, Rangier was already a little drunk. A few people sat down in front of him, and he burped and said, "You are blind, you won't go anywhere else if you want to drink, this table is mine." ”
On the other side of the table were milk and bread, which were for Alice. But one of the uninvited guests who sat down frowned and moved the things aside. Coldly, a dagger was stuck on the table next to his hand, and after a few more points, it was pierced into the palm of his hand, and his expression became angry. He tried to stand up, but was stopped by his other hand. Rangier looked at the man, "Don't touch my daughter's things, understand, boy." ”
Among these people, it is obvious that a middle-aged man is the leader. He had a dignified face, his beard was clearly trimmed, and his armor was polished, almost like a knight of any kingdom. Such a person should not be in such a place, after all, this is a poor country. Then I heard him say, "Mr. Lan Jie, we are from the Cyan Fenglan Mercenary Regiment, and I am the deputy leader. We would like to invite Mr. Lanjie to join our mercenary group, and if Mr. Lanjie agrees, the head of the group promises to give Mr. Lanjie the treatment of a first-class mercenary. ”
"Mercenaries? Those guys who can go to any battlefield as long as they have money? Lan Jie waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, I don't fight for anyone, I only fight for myself." Oh no, I'll have to add one more now, also for my precious daughter. You know, gentlemen, it's too expensive to raise a daughter. Having to buy her nice and beautiful clothes, having to make her drink milk and bread, and being careful of which bastard boy beats her up is much more tiring than raising a son. ”
Hearing that the man on the other side obviously deviated from the topic, several men showed impatient expressions, and the deputy head of the regiment still said patiently: "Mr. Lanjie, although the mercenary group is going to the battlefield, the reward is much higher than that of you as a hunter. With your strength, even if you become a nine-star hunter, the reward for a mission is not as much as the monthly salary of the first-level mercenaries of our mercenary group. You are a talent, our head of the regiment appreciates you very much, don't miss this opportunity. ”
"It's verbose, go away, my daughter is coming. I'll have to have a few more drinks before she comes, or she'll be counting me out again. Ranger plucked out his ears.
The deputy head of the regiment stood up and nodded, "We will stay in the town for a few days, and I hope Mr. Lan Jie can change his mind." By the way, we got some news when we came. Someone is looking for you, Mr. Langer, and I think they have bad intentions. ”
Lan Jie narrowed his eyes, silently picked up his glass and took another sip.
As they were leaving, Alice walked over and sat down in front of her food and said, "Who were those just now?" ”
"The guy of the cyan wind lan, they want me to join them."
"Mercenary group? I've heard of them, they're very good, did you promise? ”
Rangier shook his head.
"Why didn't you say yes?"
Lan Jie gave her a blank look: "Stupid, mercenaries are different hunters. Hunters go out on missions and act alone, and I can take you with me. But mercenaries, they are going to the battlefield, and once they are on the battlefield, they will not be able to come back for a few months, and they will not be able to take you with them. ”
Alice bit into the bread and said, "I'm grown up and I can protect myself." ”
"Protect your size, look at the way the bastards in town stare at you, and none of them want to eat you alive. If I hadn't been with you, those bastards would have eaten you. I don't feel comfortable keeping you. ”
Alice laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Sister Susie says that sometimes you are like an old hen guarding her cubs."
"What, that stinky woman dares to say that about me, I must teach her a good lesson when I go back."
At dawn, Ranger left the town with Alice. Alice herself rode a white horse, which was a fifteenth birthday present from Langer, and she named it White Wind.
The white wind ran fast, like a gust of wind. Ranger himself still rode his skinny horse, which was too old to run fast. So the girl who rode on the white wind would always run around Lan Jie, sometimes leaving Lan Jie and running away for a while, and then running back like the wind. Alice on her horse was happy, her smiling face as beautiful as a flower in the sun. Over the past few years, Alice has seen more and more smiles on her face and seems to have stepped out of the shadows of her childhood.
"Don't run too fast, stupid, be careful of falling." Ranger shouted.
At noon, they rested by a small grove. Alice was counting her bags, which contained gifts one after another, and Lan Jie said with a heartache on her face, "You don't have to buy so many things, do you?" ”
"It's for Sister Susie, she always gives us food, and you're always taking credit at people's bars." Alice flipped through the contents: "And this is for Pad, this is for Lauby, and they take good care of us." ”
Lan Jie hugged his sword and snorted, "I take good care of them too, and I don't see them buying me gifts." ”
"Don't be so stingy, you have to get along with everyone, you know?"
"Cut, it's Susie's woman who taught you again, I told her not to teach you some nonsense."
"It's not a mess."
Lan Jie was about to count her down a few more words, when suddenly his expression changed and he stood up. He squinted and looked into the distance beyond the woods, where the sun was blazing and the distance was golden, and a moment later a dark shadow appeared on a hillside and walked in their direction.
"Pack our things, it's time for us to go." Ranger whispered.
Alice didn't ask, she immediately packed her things up, and the two got on the horse. Ranger pointed in the right direction, and the two rode far past the man. White Wind ran to the skinny horse, and Alice asked, "Who is that?" ”
"I don't know."
"I don't know what you're running?"
"Stupid, there's something called intuition. Anyway, listen to me. ”
A few days later, they return to Moonshine, and Alice runs to the bar as soon as she returns. Lan Jie was sitting in the bar, watching Alice distribute the gifts to the townspeople, Lan Jie sighed and said, "That's Lao Tzu's hard-earned money." ”
"Sigh, who doesn't envy you now that you have a good daughter." Susie put a glass of wine beside him and sat down.
Lan Jie snorted, "They are so envious that they want to kidnap Alice away from me." ”
"She will always get married when she grows up, do you want to guard her for the rest of her life."
Lan Jie sighed: "You're right, it's just that I'm not at ease." That kid, she's been through some bad things before......"
"She'll have to deal with it herself."
"Perhaps." Lan Jie drank the wine in one gulp: "Anyway, I won't let people kidnap her until she is eighteen years old." ”
Susie couldn't help but laugh, glanced at him and said, "Are you still the bastard I know?" ”
Rangier didn't turn his head and didn't speak.
A few days later, Rangier woke up in his bedroom and the first thing he said was, "Alice, buy me wine." ”
"No, you have to buy it yourself!" Alice shouted next door, "Also, stop drinking, I've already made breakfast." ”
"It's so strict, who is the adult?" Lan Jie scratched his head, walked out of the bedroom and said, "Breakfast or something, I'll go buy some wine first." ”
Alice snorted, "Sooner or later, I'll tell Sister Susie not to sell it to you." ”
"How dare she?" Ranger hummed a song and walked out the door, yawning and walking to the bar in the square. It seems that for very early reasons, the town seems quiet. It's just that it's too eerily quiet. He froze when Ranger walked to the square, where a man was lying. Or rather, a corpse. No wonder it's so quiet today, as the townspeople died quietly. At that moment, the door of the Burning Horse Bar was pushed open, and a man walked out. The sword in his hand was dripping with blood, and in the sun, he looked at Lan Jie and smiled, "Good morning, my brother." ”
Things between Ranger and him gradually drowned in darkness, and then a path of blood rose between the two, and then flames rose in the path of blood. The two of them are at one end of the blood path, like a fateful arrangement.
Bloody Road!
