Chapter 18: The Immortal Touches My Top (I)

The heavy rain is still unscrupulously venting this land, but it is not as violent as at the beginning, looking at the momentum that is getting smaller and smaller, it is estimated that this heavy rain is about to stop.

Looking back on his past thoughts, Lynch thought that this day should be a quiet day anyway, and yesterday he had heard Ralph say that he had done all the farm work this year, so he planned to take Rhubarb back to the house after washing the cooking utensils.

was stopped again and again by Ralph, who was playing with unknown things on the side, Lynch looked at Ralph suspiciously, only to hear: "Wait a minute, you have nothing to do anyway, it's better to play with the old man, haha!"

Lynch rolled his eyes, as if he was extremely reluctant, but when Ralph pointed to him the corn scattered around the house, Lynch realized that he was afraid that he would have to work again.

The work to be done is not difficult or tiring, but it is more troublesome, that is, the corn kernels are peeled, which have been dried in the sun, and after a few rows with an awl, they can be gently peeled off by hand.

It seems that because the price of corn is good this year, and because of the windfall from buying a carriage, Ralph thinks of selling the corn and leaving only the rations for the two.

The heavy rain came and went quickly, and after a while, I saw the sun return to people's field of vision, but it was still a little cool, but it was okay.

Lynch peeled off the corn in his hand unhurriedly, and Ralph chattered about trivial things in his ears, what Sol's daughter was going to marry, and who was going to marry who didn't hear clearly, but heard that Ralph didn't want to pay the gift money.

Whose cow gave birth to two calves, and Ralph meant to buy one. He also said that after old Harper from the next village came back from the city of Meyer a few days ago, his whole person became different from before, as if he was stupid, and he could not speak and only knew how to eat and drink.

When he said this, Lynch, who had been silent as a stone, heard Ralph let out a cold snort and looked very annoyed.

Lynch is still indifferent, because he doesn't have much interest in these trivial things, and he doesn't want to know and doesn't bother to know.

Ralph saw Lynch's appearance, but he also knew Lynch's thoughts, but the two of them always had to say something together so as not to look so embarrassed, so Ralph kept chattering in pieces without words, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was an exchange of feelings.

Ralph glanced at Lynch, who was as usual, and continued: "This old bastard still owes us two bags of grain, I guess he wants to pay the bill, so he pretends to be crazy and stupid, I have to go and see when I'm done, if it's really pretending, look at the old man, I won't knock out his teeth." ”

As if he had found a topic again, Ralph began to talk about Old Harper again, saying that if it weren't for the fact that there was a lot of farm work and he was afraid of being asked, how could Old Harper be cheap.

Lynch was still as unimpressed as usual, but when he heard Ralph say that it was old Harper who bought the horse, his hands couldn't help but pause, and the eyes that looked at Ralph became very intriguing.

Lynch asked, "What happened to the carriage?"

The tone of the question was still the same as usual, and Ralph, who had lived for such an old age, naturally saw that it was pretending to be calm, but did not expose it, but said indignantly: "What else?

Lynch sighed and said no more, his heart was not as calm as it seemed, he was worried that Mei Ge would find it, and then coexist like some time ago, this kind of feeling of being with the enemy but not being able to use it, Lynch didn't want to experience that feeling anymore, it was too torturous.

Although Lynch was rescued by Mei Ge from the imperial capital, but so what, such hatred will not be offset because of this incident, and besides, what Mei Ge's purpose is, Lynch doesn't know, but it is certain that Mei Ge will not save him without asking for anything in return.

Thinking of this, Lynch asked himself in his heart: Is it time to leave here? Where can I go if I leave here? Where is my place?

Of course, it's not just Mei Ge's reason, after all, the most critical old Harper to find Lynch is crazy, and the worry is the wanted warrant that Simon and the three said.

Lynch knew that the wanted notice with his portrait had spread around the imperial capital at this time, and he didn't know when it would come here, maybe soon, maybe slowly, but it would always come over.

At that time, I'm afraid there is really nowhere to go!

The paradise of the outlaws - the city of the dead.

When thinking of this place, Lynch couldn't help but shake his head self-deprecatingly, he knew that it was the only place he could go, but the road was far away, and he was not confident that he could go to the Dead City alone, even if those hunters who sought wealth did not interfere, in the absence of money, going to the Dead City could only be regarded as a pipe dream.

It was almost noon, and Lynch got up and walked out into the yard, moving his muscles and bones, leaving behind the things that annoyed him, bathing in the mild sun, and after a while he fell asleep.

Before he could brew this drowsiness, he heard the door of the courtyard ring, and a girl's inquiring voice came from outside the door: "Grandpa Ralph open the door!"

Lynch could hear that the person outside the hospital was talking about his lame Daer, frowning and not wanting to open the door, but Ralph, who was still busy in the back room, didn't seem to hear it, and didn't respond, and it was not good to ask Ralph to open the door, so he had no choice but to open the door himself.

When the courtyard door opened, Daile jumped in, with a happy face, and her dimples were a little deeper than usual, but when she saw that the person who opened the door was Lynch, her happy face suddenly stiffened, as if she remembered the day in the field again.

Seeing the change in Dale's expression, Lynch didn't want to entangle with her too much, so he turned around and was about to go back to the house, and he didn't have to hear the name of 'little lame' or 'dead lame', although there was no malice, but it was not good.

Lynch, who turned around, naturally couldn't see Dai'er pursing her lips and frowning, and when she opened her mouth as if to stop Lynch, before she blurted out the sentence 'little lame' in her mouth, she saw the young man in front of her with strange steps pointing in the direction of a room and saying, "He's there!"

"Thank you, little cripple. Dale waved her hand and finished speaking, and saw the nasty figure for a moment, then let out a sigh and walked away.

Dale couldn't help but laugh in her heart, and a smug look appeared on her face, and she jumped to find Ralph.

Lynch returned to the house, and was about to lie down for a nap, when Ralph pushed the door open and came over, saying, "Don't sleep, let's take Dale's ox cart to visit Meier City, and buy you a few more clothes by the way." ”

Lynch turned his back to Ralph and didn't speak, just stubborn. There are many reasons why he doesn't go, whether it is to attract hunters to avoid showing his face, or the fear of meeting Mei Ge, which forces him not to wander around like a normal person.

Ralph was still muttering in his ear that if he didn't go, he wouldn't be able to measure the size, etc., some nonsense, Lynch turned a deaf ear, maybe he woke up too early, because he was too tired these days, and Lynch fell asleep after a while, but it also gave his ears a moment of peace.

It's just that when he woke up again, Lynch felt himself moving in the swaying, and suddenly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a gloating old face, carefully identifying that it was Ralph.

Ralph smiled: "Wake up, haha, I see if you go this time or not, you will soon arrive in Meier City, if you don't want to go, go back by yourself!"

Lynch rolled his eyes, and noticed that it was getting close to evening, and it was naturally impossible to walk back, so he didn't bother to say some childish and ridiculous angry words, so he had to hug his shoulders and look boredly at the city not far ahead.

A group of four, in addition to Ralph and Lynch, as well as Dale and her father Thor, had some grain on the ox cart, and they thought they were going to sell the food.

Thor who was driving the ox cart also smiled and said, "Haha, isn't it good to go into the city for a walk, you see that our family Dai'er jumped and jumped with joy when she heard that she was going to enter the city." ”

"No!" Dale exclaimed angrily.

"Well, I won't bring you with me next time!" Thor quipped his daughter.

"Don't!" Dale slipped into Thor arms, as if coquettish and boastful, "How could Daddy not bring such a beautiful and lovely daughter of yours into the city?"

"Haha, how could it be, how could it be!" Thor rubbed Dale's little head dotingly.

"Hee-hee!"
