Although the smile on Andre's face was a little stiff, he finally showed his trademark ambiguous smile to the fisherwoman, who sold him the freshly caught river fish at a very low price. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After buying the fish, André went in the direction of the temporary hut, where he was still getting used to walking on his legs again, because he had not walked in more than two years, which was the result of his initial recovery. However, as soon as André returned to the hut, the fish in his hand fell to the ground, and his knees instantly ached, and he could no longer support him to stand.
His adoptive father, Russell, "happened" to pass by Andre's cabin, but before Russell could enter the house and pick him up, Andre yelled, "Get out!"
Russell's hand pressed against the wooden door for about eight seconds before he moved away, and he left the cabin without saying a word.
André knew that even if he insisted on moving out, the man who killed his mother, Josephine, would still be entangled. He had long been numb to the other party's concern, but he couldn't forget everything the other party had done, so no matter what Russell did or said, Andrei would not forgive him.
However, in addition to Russell, Zoe, the doctor of the thieves who has been treating his legs, the thieves Nangus and "Turtle", who provide him with all kinds of life help, and the drunkard Feo, who never persuades him to forgive Russell but appears when Andre needs someone to accompany him, these people have all integrated into Andre's life, even if these are not what he asked for in the first place.
Russell didn't have long to leave, and André climbed onto the bed on his own arms. The fish that was still alive and kicking was already dehydrated and suffocated, and if Zoe hadn't picked it up, maybe the fish would have rotted and wouldn't have waited for Andre to deal with it.
"Didn't I say that, you can't use your legs casually!" Zoe, a forty-five-year-old female doctor, put the fish back in the fish basket, "The result of the mess will only make your recovery slower... Alas, who knows how long it took me to get your legs in shape..."
"That's enough, I've got it all!" said André the most to Zoe. He knew very well in his heart that Zoe didn't have anything to be sorry for him, or even the greatest support he could get off the ground and walk. But when André thought that this doctor of the thieves was sent by Russell, he couldn't help but resist in his heart.
"In short, you can't be so willful anymore! I don't care about other things, you can stay for me honestly for another half a year, and you can't run around!"
Andrei rolled over and turned his face against the wall. With a handsome face, he didn't want Zoe to see the tears in the corners of his eyes. There was both grievance and gratitude to Zoe in these tears, but he just didn't want the other party to know, because he didn't want to continue to bear the favor that Russell had inflicted on him, even if it would help him walk again.
Nangus and "Turtles" from the Rock Thieves also arrived at the cabin after Zoe, and they brought food as usual, and this time with a few other things.
"I heard you went to the market to buy fish," Nangus sweated profusely, a disease that Zoe couldn't cure, "it's better to return to our bandits' sphere of influence." ”
"I can live on my own. ”
"You've been saying this for almost a year, and remember that you haven't spoken for a year since you woke up, and you've been saying nasty things for a year since you started talking. I'd rather you don't speak like you did back then, maybe Russell will feel a little better. ”
Andre frowned, he didn't want to respond to Nangus's words, as long as it was about Russell, he didn't want to pay attention to it.
The thief "Turtle", who was wearing a piece of armor with a bulging back, said nothing, and silently covered Andrei, who had his back to the two, under the quilt. Andrei still wanted to struggle, but the strength of the "turtle" was too great, and he couldn't resist at all, so he was wrapped tightly in a thick quilt.
"Last winter you lived in the cave of our thieves, and this year you prefer to live alone," Nangus shrugged, and the "turtle" standing next to him put the thick quilt and thick clothes he brought into the cabinet, "These things to keep out the cold were left to you by Zoe and Feio, you have no hands wasted, remember to put them on yourself." ”
André closed his eyes, and he tried to say "thank you" to them, but by the time Nangus and "Turtle" had left, he couldn't say a word of thanks. If it weren't for the care of Nangus and others, Andre would have died a long time ago. Either starved to death or died of cold, in any case, without the Rock Thieves, he would not have been able to drag his sick leg to the market as he did today, and smile at the young fisherwoman who sold fish.
Before it was dark, André fell asleep in a daze, and by the time he woke up in the middle of the night, the food on the table had already cooled. In addition to those foods, there was an extra jug of wine on the table.
André knew that Fio had been here, and that down-and-out guy liked to drink, and often approached André and told him about his unsatisfactory life. So Andrei sometimes doesn't know if he needs the company of the other party, or if the other party needs him as a listener, but regardless of the relationship, Andrei likes to drink, because sometimes getting drunk can really forget all your troubles.
Once André was in the wheelchair that could be pushed freely, he slowly pushed the wheel and left the hut and went to the river. Sure enough, Feo, who had fallen asleep drunk, was lying by the river, and one of his feet had been overflowing by the river.
Andre picked up a small rock on the ground, aimed at the opponent's belly and threw it. It wasn't until he threw the fifth stone that Feo had a slight reaction.
"Ahh But he soon realized that his feet were soaking in the river and that crabs were pulling his boots with pincers.
Fei immediately stood up, shaking his feet incessantly, trying to shake off the stubborn crab. He eventually shook the crab off, but his boots were torn open by the crab claws.
"Damn it, crab! Damn it, I'm going to cook you and eat you!" said Feo, pointing to the river, and André had come to his side.
"Drink a little more. Andre didn't want to drink today, so he handed the flask that Fio had brought, and Fio didn't refuse, continuing to pour wine into his body full of alcohol. It wasn't until the wine in the jug was almost drunk that Fio began to think seriously about some questions.
"You'll be fully healthy soon, what are your plans for that?"
Andre looked at the trickle, and his heart fluctuated a little, "I plan to return to my old business and become a mercenary, and I don't know if I can return to the battlefield." ”
"Why do you want to be a mercenary?"
"Because I'm only going to be a mercenary. ”
"In my opinion, it's because you haven't let go of your hatred for Russell, and you want to hunt down Russell as a mercenary and hire a mission. But can you really want to kill him after going through this and understanding what happened in the first place?"
"Your amount of alcohol is really good," a depressed Andre snatched the remaining flask and poured all the wine in the flask into his mouth, "It's not wine, it's..."
"This is apple juice for decanting, which is made from the apples of the apple trees I grew myself. I would have taken it with me before, because I knew that getting drunk wasn't going to solve the problem, it was just an escape. ”
Andrei was silent, he knew that Feo meant something else, but he didn't know how to answer the other party. If Zoe and Nangus took good care of Andre, then Feo was the one who saw through his heart. André came to believe that Feo had once been a nobleman's aide, jealous of his peers and envied by those he worked for, because he was too smart. Because of this, Fei O has always presented himself as a drunk, which is also an escape.
"If you do kill Russell one day, what else do you want to accomplish?" asked Feo suddenly.
Andre thought for a long time, and finally remembered that the Moon Shield mercenary group had long since left him.
"Take back the mercenary group that belonged to me in the first place?"
"That mercenary group was originally your adoptive father, Russell. ”
"Then I'm going to get my former subordinates back," Andre said before he remembered Fidel. The young mercenary who once fought side by side with him is now the leader of the potato mercenary group, and Andre also overheard the news of the potato mercenary group, but at that time he was still focused on killing Russell, and he never paid attention to the mercenary group that was born out of him.
"Will your former subordinates still treat you as a regimental commander?"
With just one question, Feo slowly stood up and began to walk in the direction of the forest where the rock thieves were located, leaving only Andre a little stunned. In fact, Russell had already discussed with Feo to find a way to rekindle Andre's fighting spirit. Russell knew that Andre was not a man who would be depressed forever, and that there must be something other than hatred that would get him back on his feet.
Returning to the hut, Andrei couldn't sleep because of the excitement in his heart, and he began to plan what he would do in half a year - he planned to reorganize a mercenary group and make himself the leader of this mercenary group. He wanted to use this mercenary group to test Fide and the Potato Mercenary Group to see if Fei De still maintained the belief of the Moon Shield Mercenary Group as he did at the beginning. He also wants to become Fidel's opponent, and if Fidel's talent is really above his own, then he will willingly submit to him. If Fidel doesn't turn out to be what he expected, then he will get his share back, including the enchanted sword.
André quickly writes a messy plan, knowing in his heart that this is just his own fantasy - now that Fei De is already a famous mercenary captain, he is only a half-wreck, and he is not qualified to compete with the other party for anything. And half of his life was given by Phillip, why did he have that kind of thought that he shouldn't have?
"At first, you were just a young man from the countryside, and I was a little unwilling to think that you had become so powerful," At this time, Andre did not resent Russell, but was a little grateful to him, because he knew that the reason why Feo reminded him was also Russell's idea, "I have to work hard, otherwise I won't even be able to avenge my mother's revenge." ”
