200 Aurora Flower Man (Part II)
The old woman's words made Chen Xiansong's heart start to chill a little, and he tried hard to struggle, but his body was soft and he didn't need strength at all. This is the first time he has been so sick, and in the past, as long as he had the slightest sign of getting sick, he would be taken to the hospital by Sister Bai for treatment to prevent it from happening.
In the past, when he read novels, he always felt that it was a bit exaggerated when he wrote that some characters were sick and described as uncomfortable as life and death, but now he tried it, and it was really when he was sick that he realized the value of Lu Dao's health. What made him even more unacceptable was that the old woman in front of him obviously had bad intentions, but he didn't have any ability to resist.
"Old woman, that's not good." The old man was a little unbearable: "This lord is a good man, he gave us money, let's not take away his armor while he is sick." ”
"Old man, don't you want your son to get ahead? You know how to be a good person! The old woman twisted the old man's ears and said angrily, "Do you know how much a set of armor outside the road will cost to sell?" The minimum is ten gold coins, after my son became a mercenary, he must get a set of armor, you can't get a gold coin in your life, and now someone specially sent a set of armor to us, you don't want it, do you have a problem with your head? ”
"I'm not afraid of going wrong." The old man patted the old woman's hand away and said flatteringly.
"What could go wrong!" The old woman snorted, pointed at Chen Xiansong and said, "Look at him, he is obviously not from our Kate Kingdom, his face is whiter than a woman, and he has no muscles, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a mercenary, but like a flower man." I've heard that Aurora is rich in flower men, maybe he is. ”
When Chen Xiansong heard this, his body suddenly lost strength, he lay back on the bed, and said with difficulty in a hoarse voice: "I'm not a flower man. I'm a Soul Thinker, and if you want armor, you can take it, but please help me get some fever-reducing medicine and come back. ”
"You have fever, and you still want to grab medicine." The old woman cried out in a shrill voice, "Without two gold coins, the city doctor will not give you the medicine for fever...... The people in our village who have fever can only survive it, and if they can't get through it, they will die, and I've seen too much of this, boy. You have fine skin and tender meat, and at first glance you are not a person who can resist disease, so don't worry, let's go with confidence, it's a big deal that we will help you dig a pit and bury you, so that your body will not be bitten by wild beasts. ”
Chen Xiansong smiled bitterly. Close your eyes, out of sight.
The old woman seemed to resign herself to her fate when she saw him. Hehe laughed twice. Reaching out to take Chen Xiansong's Odin sacred robe, as soon as he touched the armor, he heard her withdraw her hand with a thud. The old man was startled by her voice, and when he went over to look, he found that his old wife's right hand had a few blisters, as if it had been burned by fire.
Odin's sacred garment. Except for Chen Xiansong, only Bai Min can take it freely for the time being. Usually this set of armor is also kept by her.
"There's something evil about this thing." The old woman turned her head and asked Chen Xiansong, "White-faced boy, do you have any reputation for this set of armor?" It's so hot. How do you wear it. ”
Chen Xiansong opened his eyes and said with difficulty: "This set of armor can only be worn by me, and it is useless for you to give it to your son." ”
The old woman didn't believe it: "White-faced boy, don't try to lie to me, just now you said that you are a soul thinker, hehe, who doesn't know how noble the soul thinker is, when there are not hundreds of people to protect it, how can you be so embarrassed, besides, the soul thinker doesn't learn any martial arts and elemental skills, they don't wear armor at all, you want to lie to me, it's a hundred years early." ”
"Old man, go find a sack and a stick. I can't take it, so I can always put it up with something. The old woman snorted: "It must be an armor that can only be worn by mercenaries, and since you can wear it, my son can definitely wear it too." You flower man, it's such a waste to wear such a powerful and gorgeous armor. ”
"What is a flower man?" Chen Xiansong asked in a muttered voice.
"It's a man who sells his ass to a nobleman." The old woman looked disdainful: "You have the most kinds of men in the Aurora Kingdom." ”
Chen Xiansong had to smile bitterly, or it was because he was in a bad mood, he felt that his body was getting hotter and weaker, and his vision began to blur more and more, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep, and before closing his eyes, he saw the old woman holding a stick and pulling his Odin sacred garment into a hemp cloth bag.
The old man looked at Chen Xiansong as if he had fainted, gently patted his old wife who was packing up his armor, and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do with this person, I remember that he still has a few silver coins on him." ”
"Then don't take it yet!" The old woman shouted, "How old are you, and you don't know how to do things." ”
The old man sighed and smoothed the small money bag on Chen Xiansong's body. Because the little guy is usually very gluttonous and always loves to eat snacks, Chen Xiansong has developed the habit of preparing some small money on his body at all times. The pouch fell into the hands of the two old men, and when they opened it, they were pleasantly surprised, and it contained two gold coins and several silver coins.
"He's really a rich flower boy." The old woman stretched out her withered yellow hand and touched a few handfuls on Chen Xiansong's somewhat pale face: "And it's very beautiful, if I am thirty or forty years younger, if I meet such a man, maybe I will stick it upside down to him, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”
The old man took the money bag and was about to go back to the room to put it away, but suddenly said, "Old woman, did the traveling merchant Jedra come to our village to collect furs in the afternoon...... I've heard that he buys and sells beautiful women, but I don't know if he accepts beautiful men. ”
"You should take it...... That's a good idea, old man. The old woman looked at Chen Xiansong, who was so sick that she fell asleep, and laughed wickedly: "Let's hide the armor first, and then hand it over to our son when he comes back." Then I sold this guy, and I think I should sell it for three or four silver coins, and with the money I just found, it will be enough to buy the daughter of Mary, the widow of the next village, for our son. ”
The old man nodded again and again, and while he was happy, he looked at Chen Xiansong on the bed, and sighed silently.
Jetra, a traveling merchant born in a nearby town, is now middle-aged, his family has been in business for generations, he inherited his father's business, and will spend more than half a year wandering around the world, trading, looking for business opportunities. Today he made a routine visit to Mary Sue Village to buy furs, but was brought to her home by an old woman, where he saw a sick young man sleeping in bed.
"Jaedra, look at how much this flower boy is worth."
Flower man? Jaedra observed Chan for a moment, and then agreed with the old woman. The flower man in the Aurora Kingdom is very famous, and he is quite masculine there, and then this atmosphere somehow spread to other countries. Over time, the nobles of other countries also began to cultivate flower men, but in any case, it was still its birthplace, and the flower men of the Aurora Kingdom were the most flavorful.
If there is good, there must be demand, and the Kingdom of Aurora has exported a lot of flower men to other countries. These specially trained flower men never do heavy work, with fine skin and tender meat, and most importantly, they are also quite handsome. Chen Xiansong, who sleeps in bed, undoubtedly fully meets these characteristics.
In Kate's Kingdom, it's not a strange thing to see a flower man from the Aurora Kingdom, but a lost flower man is relatively rare. He checked Chen Xiansong's hair, teeth, and hands, and asked, "Old woman, you actually tied up a seriously ill flower man, and I don't know whether to say that you are lucky or bad." How much are you going to sell it for? ”
"That's the number!" The old woman gave a slap in the face.
"Five silver coins?" Jetra shook his head: "This man has a fever, and I don't know if he can survive it, five silver coins are too expensive, if he dies, won't I lose a lot?" I don't want to do a business that's too loss-making. ”
"And how much do you say?"
"One silver coin at most." Jaedra had an expression that you didn't agree with me and left immediately.
"Well, one is just one, it's better than nothing." The old woman waved her hand: "As long as you give me the money, you can take the person away immediately." ”
Jaedra called his men who were with him outside, carried Chen Xiansong out of the car, and threw him onto a flatbed. There was also a teenager with dark skin, and his eyes did not have much brilliance, but his body was quite strong, and his face was quite heavy, he saw that Chen Xiansong was only wearing underwear, and even in a coma, he was curled up with his arms and trembling, so he took some of the fur they had purchased and piled it on Chen Xiansong.
After Jaedra paid, he just came out of the house, and when he saw this scene, he asked with a smile, "Morley, why do you want to give the goods so well." ”
"He's sick." The young man named Morley hesitated for a moment, and continued: "If he dies, he will no longer be a cargo, then we will lose money, and ensuring the effective value of the goods is the most basic quality of our traveling merchants. ”
"Good, you remember it very well." Jaedra nodded with satisfaction, Molly was his youngest son, he had three sons in total, the eldest son and the second son had been in charge of the country on their own, and now he was able to lead a caravan to trade back and forth between countries on his own, and the younger son was born a little sluggish, and he decided to take it with him for a few more years to educate him well.
"But that's not enough." Jetra said slowly: "This man has a fever, just covering him with fur will not do much, you go to the foot of the mountain to pick some yellow grass back, pound it into a pulp, and then get some water to wash it away, and give him a drink, although the prescription is far inferior to the medicine prescribed by the doctor, but there is still some effect." ”
Hearing his father's command, Morley immediately went to the foot of the mountain and came back from picking yellow grass with two paws. He mashed the herbs, threw them into a clay bowl, then used the water bag he carried with him to pour some water into it, and then walked up to Chen Xiansong, pried the latter's mouth open, and poured a bowl of green, thick liquid with a strange smell into it.
The action was very rude and brutal, and Chen Xiansong was almost choked to death. (To be continued......)
