Chapter 13: Stay
Chapter 13 remains
Ralph took the ladder, and Lynch stumbled down from the house with difficulty, perhaps not particularly serious with the word 'jumping', but this scene and Lynch's situation can only use this word.
Ralph caressed the ladder with a nervous face, and when Lynch came down, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some frustration: "Why don't you ask me? You know that if you ask me, I will definitely give you the ladder!"
Lynch didn't speak, but walked to the table with a somewhat frivolous step, and ate the meal without any grapeness, all as if Ralph owed him, which made Ralph a little dissatisfied.
Lynch didn't think of this, but he was hungry, there was food here, and Ralph prepared it for himself, and by the way, he didn't want to answer Ralph's question.
Ralph said: "I said that your kid is a little unruly, and he doesn't say anything when he asks you, and he ......."
"I'll stay!" Lynch swallowed the food in his mouth, interrupting Ralph's unfinished words.
"Ahh
Lynch nodded, ate to himself, and didn't say anything more, and fed Rhubarb from time to time, which made Rhubarb suddenly forget about his master, Ralph, and walked back and forth in front of Lynch's feet.
There are many reasons to force Lynch to leave, the most important thing is that the carriage is there, and Mei Ge's soul mark is there, and Lynch will be found quickly. And the reason why Lynch stayed was that Ralph sold the carriage.
By the way, he also repaid Ralph for saving his life, Lynch said in his heart.
I just don't know how Ralph will feel when he hears this, and whether he will be as ecstatic as he was just now.
After eating, Lynch asked Ralph about his age.
Ralph stroked his beard, his posture was as respectful as that of a noble lord, and sighed: "Eight out of sixty, what are you asking for?"
Lynch let out an expressionless sigh and replied, "That's fine!"
Ralph was puzzled: "What is this called?
"Nothing!" Lynch finished and was about to take away the dishes and chopsticks and clean up.
Unexpectedly, he was forcibly held down by Ralph, only to hear Ralph say, "What's nothing? ”
Lynch looked at Ralph with sincere eyes, as if thinking about the wording, and paused for a while before he seemed a little unbearable and said, "I'll stay for a short time!"
Ralph said, "What does that have to do with my age? Rabbit cub, is it running for when I die, you will go?"
Lynch nodded, confirming Ralph's conjecture.
Ralph could no longer maintain his respectful posture, and roared, "Then you say it's okay? You mean I don't have a few years to live, right?"
Lynch was just about to nod, looking at Ralph's appearance of eating people, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what to say to ease the situation, so Lynch went to wash the dishes and chopsticks with a little weakness.
Let Ralph tear his throat and yell again and again: You come back to me!
Lynch also silently lowered his head and washed his head, and said in his heart: People will eventually die, why can't such an old person still understand this, as for making such a big fire?
It seems that Ralph is to blame!
I have to say that Lynch does not have a deep understanding of these common human affairs, after all, he grew up in a group of high-ranking officials and nobles, or some military personnel under his father, and his background and status are high, and there is naturally a gap between him and Ralph in terms of thinking mode.
Leaving aside this side, let's talk about Mei Ge who was hurrying on the other side, his eyebrows and eyes scanned the surroundings from time to time, and he seemed to have a fluke mentality, imagining that he could see the thin figure when he turned over the next hillside.
After a night of pranayama, Mei Ge's strength has probably recovered by seven or eight points. He walked briskly, and as he went, he wondered who would be the one who had broken his mark last night, and whether Lynch was now in the hands of this man?
If it falls into that person's hands, can he match it? Thinking of this, Mei Ge's body froze, and he unconsciously stopped his steps.
Since he can easily destroy Mei Ge's soul mark, at best, this person's strength is probably between Mei Ge and Mei Ge, but now Mei Ge's strength is different from the past, and it can't be matched at all, not to mention that it is very likely that this person's strength is higher than Mei Ge.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Mei Ge still stopped, and scolded with regret on his face, not caring about his identity at all.
"Simon, miscellaneous, mistaken me!"
After Mei Ge finished scolding, he felt a little better in his chest, and stopped for a while as if thinking, and then his figure flashed and went straight to the nearest Maier City.
It is said that it is close, and it is about 50 miles away, and it takes more than half a day for the local farmers to drive an ox cart, but most of the farmers choose to come here on foot, one is the cattle that are reluctant to plough the land, and the other is that most of the farmers do not have cattle.
This period is autumn, the corn in the field is generally ripe, these days come to Maicheng to inquire about the price of farmers in an endless stream, to see if the price determines whether this season's corn is sold or stored.
Old Harper is in a good mood today, and the good ones don't care much about the price of corn this year, mainly because he only used two hundred copper coins and a bag of cooked beef to exchange a good horse with the chief of a neighboring village, and oh yes, he promised to give Ralph two bags of corn.
But to old Harper, none of this is a problem, after all, this horse is worth too much corn.
Old Harper drove the carriage leisurely, and could not help but wonder if he should give these two bags of corn to Ralph, and heard him say that he had picked up the carriage, but what was the truth? After all, it was much better to pick up than to steal.
This carriage is not surprising, but this horse looks like a horse that only those noble lords can afford, and when he lives to this extent, old Harper is naturally not stupid, and he is thinking about how to make a quick move after entering the city.
When he came to the gate of Maicheng, before he entered the city, old Harper was stopped by a man, who behaved arrogantly and said in a somewhat domineering voice: "That old fellow, yes, what about you, old fellow driving, you come, come here, come here." ”
Hearing the last scolding, he was a little hurried, as if he was dissatisfied with Old Harper's somewhat stupid posture, and he couldn't ignore it for a long time.
Heaven testifies that at that moment old Harper was frightened and stupid, and he didn't know what he had done, attracting the attention of such characters.
Returning to his senses, old Harper had no choice but to get out of the car, trotting all the way over, he didn't dare to provoke this gorgeously dressed young master, as if he had heard of this person when he came to Maicheng last time, it was said that this was the young master of Baron Bouz's family, and he couldn't remember what his name was.
For old Harper, this is a big man in Wheat City, naturally he is not a farmer who can afford to provoke, and old Harper noticed that the young master did not bring any entourage, and he couldn't help but think that at least he could be beaten less.
The young master of the baron naturally would not lower his status and personally beat a farmer, but even so, old Harper still trembled and hurriedly walked forward and bowed, cowardly and cowardly, not daring to make a sound.
"Where did you get this horse?"
Listening to this interrogative tone, old Harper was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, and his body shook uncontrollably, all the way thinking that someone was asking him what he should say.
When Old Harper lowered his head and didn't know what to say, the young master seemed to be very satisfied with Old Harper's fear, nodded with satisfaction, and waved his hand again: "Look at your ugly appearance, it really makes Young Master Ben nauseous, leave the horse behind, and get out of wherever it comes." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Old Harper nodded again and again, not even daring to look at the young master, only listening to the sound of whipping and stepping on the horse, the wheels pressed against the dust around him, and there was a crisp sound of "ding", and old Harper saw a yellow gold coin spinning in front of him.
"Take it away, the people in the province say that Young Master Ben oppresses the people. However, Young Master Ben doesn't care, hahaha!"
The voice came from afar, and old Harper didn't care what he said now, so he hurriedly picked up the gold coin, and bit down on it, ignoring the dirt on it, and watched the gold coin print and stamp, and muttered, "Really, really!"
