Chapter 23 Where is the black dog, it's not a person to rob my bun
After wandering around for a long time, I casually found a tavern and sat down, Xiao Er was very enthusiastic, and explained the dishes in the store to me in detail, I ordered a vegetarian and a meat and two additional meat buns.
"Bang
Before the meal was ready, I reached out and took out the money bag in my arms, poured all the money left in the money bag on the table, and counted carefully, there were eighty-six carters.
"Little two. I looked at the busy Xiao Er and stretched out his hand to greet him.
"What's the matter, master, what orders?" Xiao Er walked over and bowed respectfully and replied.
"Can you calculate how many carts I just ordered? I'll give you the money first. β
"Don't be in a hurry, you're too polite. Xiao Er shook his hand and looked at Carter who was lying on the table with bright eyes.
"Do the math. β
"Well, a plate of tiger meat is sixteen carters, a plate of Nanlin mangosteen is four carters, and two buns are one carter, master, I understand, a total of twenty-two carters. β
"Hmm. I lowered my head and counted out twenty-two Carters on the table and handed them to Xiao Er.
"Do you have any other orders?"
"No, you go get busy. β
"Okay. β
Xiao Er left, and I put the rest of Carter back in my money bag and began to think about where I was going to spend the night.
"The dish is ready, sir. "Before I could think about where I should go in the evening, Xiao Er came over with two dishes and a drink.
"Buns will come soon. Xiao Er gently put the tiger meat and Nanlin mangosteen on the table, turned his head and went to get the buns again.
"Buns are coming, master, you use them slowly. β
This little two screamed so much that I was numb, if I didn't express it again, I was really a little ashamed of this title, when he put the bun on the table and turned around to leave, I stopped him.
"Come back. β
"What do you command?"
"You're rewarded. I took out two Carters from my money bag and put them on the table, and said to the little two.
"Yo, thank you, sir, if there is anything else that needs to be small, sir, just ask. Xiao Er reached out and picked up the two Carters on the table, and he couldn't close his mouth happily.
"Go get busy. β
"Okay. β
The exhaustion of running all the way really made me hungry, and as soon as Xiao Er's front foot left, I began to gobble it up.
Maybe it's because I gave the reward, Xiao Er deliberately glanced at me from time to time while entertaining guests, and every time he saw my starving ghost reincarnated, he would put on an expression of disbelief, I guess he must be thinking, how can such a generous person eat like a beggar?
Whenever I found out that he was looking at me, I immediately pretended to be Sven and smiled at him awkwardly, and he smiled back at me very politely, no way, I am really hungry, I have always been clothed to reach out for food to open my mouth, where have I been so far away? Where have I been hungry for so long?
After eating for a long time, the shriveled stomach finally improved, and my heart no longer felt so empty, a plate of tiger meat made me eat clean, Nanlin mangosteen also saw the bottom, and there was only one meat bun left on the whole table.
Just as I was about to get the meat bun and prepare to finish eating and leaving, a black dog from nowhere swooped up on the table, grabbed the only meat bun I had left, and ran away.
"Your grandfather's!" The wild dog was really scared, and I had never been so excited since I was a child, and I couldn't help but scold loudly when I saw that the black dog had run out of the tavern with my meat bun in its mouth.
"Forget it, I'm full anyway, the meat buns have been beaten by the dog, and even if I snatch the buns back, I can't eat them..."
I didn't know that the black dog was thrown at the door of the tavern and had no intention of leaving, shaking his ass and shaking left and right at me, as if to say, "Come on, chase me?!"
"Your grandfather's!" I immediately became angry, stood up, reached out and drew the sword behind my back and chased out the door.
The black dog saw that I was moving, and it followed suit, running all the way with the meat bun in its mouth.
"Grandpa is not done with you!" I yelled and cursed in the back, my feet struggling.
The black dog was running too fast, and my little foot strength was thrown farther and farther away by it.
"Forget it, don't chase it, how can a man outrun a dog?" I stood up, hunched over and panting, and said to myself.
After a long breath, I looked up and saw that the black dog was about ten meters away from me, holding a meat bun and looking at me motionless.
"Provocation, this is definitely provocation!" I gasped.
"I won't chase you, you're running too fast! I gave you the buns, but I can't catch up with you!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the black dog turned to me and began to twist his ass again, and I was immediately angry.
"Your grandfather's! I won't catch you today! you're my grandfather!" I said, carrying my sword and continuing to chase forward, and the black dog saw that I was moving again, and it also ran away, and looked back from time to time to see if I had followed.
I really can't remember how far I chased it, and I don't know where I got this brute force, so I chased it out of the downtown area and chased it to the black dog's house.
I stood in the courtyard of a grass house, gasping for breath, the reason why I would not chase the black dog anymore, because I saw the black dog burrow into the grass house, I just need to rest for a while, and when I have regained my strength, I can rush to dismember it with ten thousand swords.
"Hey, Tam, are you stealing from someone else's stuff again?, or how would someone come to the door?" suddenly came the voice of a young man from the grass house, who must have been about my age. β
"Wang..." followed by the barking of the black dog.
"I'm sorry to make you tired, but Tamu stole your stuff and the money was used as compensation. As soon as the young man in the house finished speaking, I saw the black dog slowly come out of the grass hut with the money bag in his mouth, put the money bag in front of me, and turned around and walked back.
I looked down at the bag of money, and wanted to tell the people in the house that it was too much, but I was really tired from chasing the black dog before, so I could only gasp for breath and couldn't say a word.
"What, isn't the money enough? Tam, it's all a good thing you do, alas, well, this is already all my money, I don't like to owe favors to others the most, if it's not enough, then I'll lose some, do you have a single business, say, do you have anyone you want to kill, I can help you, and we'll settle it after the fact." β
I was confused, and I gasped for a while, but I was finally able to speak.
"Iβ" As soon as I said this, I was interrupted by the mouth of an unknown person who suddenly arrived.
"Hey, Ren Jianman, I have a business to hand over to you, the remuneration is fifty carts, are you interested?"
The young man in the room didn't reply, I turned to look behind me, and a tall, fat middle-aged man came into my eyes.
"Don't say you don't want to do it, you don't want to do it, but there are a lot of people who are willing to do it, hahahaha!" The middle-aged man looked vulgar, and when he heard that the young man in the grass house did not reply, he laughed loudly.
"Who do you want me to kill for you?" replied, the young man who had been silent in the grass house for a long time.
The middle-aged man turned his head to look at me, looked me up and down with a wide eyebrow, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Iβ" I was about to speak, when the young man's voice came from inside the room, "He's my friend, and it's okay to say anything." β
"Oh..."The middle-aged man looked at me and nodded, turned his head and continued with a smile: "Ren Jianman, I want you to kill the person I want you to kill just because I say his name, and I will scare you into urine, hahahaha..."
"Say, who is it?!"
"Duke Tanur. The middle-aged man changed his laughing habit and said the name with a grim face.
"Duke Tanur, why am I so familiar with this name?" the name that the guard told me when I entered the city seemed to be this Duke of Tanurβ" I recalled.
"Hmm... Simple, you come in, I'll take this business. β
The middle-aged man nodded and glanced at me, snorted coldly, and strode into the grass house.
"Hahahaha... Are you still raising this brute?Let's make another deal, give this beast to me, let me have a good meal, and I'll give you an extra twenty carts after the deed, how about it?"
"Wang..."
"You... What are you going to do? Ren Jianman, are you crazy? Do you know who I am?"
"I'm really sorry, Duke Tanur sent someone to me yesterday, and he made it clear that he wanted me to kill a person who wanted him to die, and I was still thinking about where to find this person, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door yourself!"
"He, he, he... How much did he give you?"
"Eighty Carter. β
"Don't kill me, I'll give you eight hundred Carter to buy me back my life. β
"I'm a well-known mercenary person. β
"Eight thousand, I'll give you eight thousand Carter, as long as you let me go, I'll go back and get it for you now!"
"It's late. β
"Ah!" (wailing)
"People are dead?" I heard so clearly in the courtyard what was happening in the grass hut that even if I couldn't see what was going on inside, I could conceive a similar picture just by making up my brain.
"Hey, friends outside, is this money enough to compensate?" the man in the hut continued, and the black dog ran out of the hut again, put a large bulging money bag in front of me, turned and ran back.
"You robbed him of his money?" I asked tentatively.
"Don't joke friends, this money is what I picked up on the dead, in this world, whoever picks up the money will belong to whom, and the same is true for the money of the king of heaven. β
"Tap, tap, tap, tapβ" As we spoke, a group of soldiers dressed like the guards guarding the gate came behind us, and they were already standing behind me on armored horses.
I glanced back and saw that there were a lot of people, at least a hundred and ten, and unlike the guards guarding the door, the weapons in the hands of this group were no longer swords, but terrible muskets and hard shields.
The head of the person wears a steel helmet, and the center of the steel helmet is written with a robbery word, and then look at the rest of the people, although everyone wears a steel helmet, but they are all wordless steel helmets, presumably this steel helmet with words should be more powerful according to those who have no word steel helmets, and the people wearing the words steel helmets are the first to get off the horse, and the rest of the people are similar, but thirty seconds of effort, it will surround this grass house.
"Xiaolou, Ren Jianmaniac, I am Yabra Hando, the captain of the guard, we have just received the news that Duke Bart was brutally murdered by you in your home, I have a search warrant given by Duke Tanur, we are now ordered to search your home, if you know each other, you can come out and arrest yourself, and do not make fearless resistance. The leader, Jabra Hando, stood in front of the crowd and shouted to the hut.
"Tanur, this old fellow, dares to frame me, is he trying to use me as a substitute for the dead?" came the angry voice of the young man from inside the grass house.
Hearing this, the guard commander Han Duo did not answer, and waved his hand to the soldiers on the side and said, "Go in and search." β
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers cautiously approached the door of the hut with shields in hand or muskets in hand.
I stood and stared at what was happening, and my instinct told me I should leave as soon as possible... It's just that this courtyard and thatched hut are surrounded by soldiers, so how easy is it to leave?
"Who are you?" asked Captain Hando, who seemed to have just discovered my presence, with a frown.
"Iβ" I wanted to say that I was passing by, but the thought of how a passer-by could have passed into someone's yard felt that this reason was too far-fetched.
"Report sir, I found Duke Bart's money bag on the ground. "One of the soldiers took the black dog out of his mouth and picked it up for me.
"Bring it and show it to me. β
The captain of the guard, Hando, took the money bag and looked at it for a long time, and naturally put the money bag into his arms, and I wanted to visit his ancestors for eighteen generations.
Hando turned his head to see that I was looking at him, and pretended to explain, "What do you see? This is my money bag, it's strange, how could it have fallen so carelessly on the ground." β
"It's so cheeky. "I have a great contempt for him from the depths of my heart and even from the depths of my soul.
"Hey, Hando, the money doesn't belong to you, it's my friend outside. The young man's voice came from inside the hut again.
"Friend?" said Hando, his eyes widening at me.
"No... It's not a friend, if I say there's a dog that robs me of my meat buns, and I chase that dog here, and then you guys show up, and you... Will you believe it?"
"This guy must be Xiaolou's comrade Ren Jianmai, arrest him for me!"
"Misunderstanding... Misunderstand... A big misunderstanding. Looking at the soldiers who were gradually surrounding me with muskets, I explained as I stepped back and waved my hands.
"Don't talk nonsense, get him up for me, the musketeers are loaded, if you dare to resist, shoot them indiscriminately!"
