Chapter 36: The Rain Breaks

The next morning, the storm died silently. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Luo Dan, who practiced until three o'clock in the morning, woke up under the guidance of the biological clock, he only felt refreshed and not tired, under the high-intensity cultivation, the sleep level was very deep, originally in his previous life, he only heard that some people sleep for three or four hours a day is enough, and he can become one of them without himself, maybe this is a side benefit of breathing method cultivation.

Seeing that Fletcher was still asleep bare-chested, he lightly put on his still wet clothes, unbuttoned the tent, and lifted it gently, and suddenly a stream of water slid down from the top of the tent.

Stepping out of the tent, the boots landed with a slimy "pop" sound, and although they chose to settle on the ground, the ground was relatively hard, and there was still a messy layer of yellow mud, and the splashing mud quickly stained the boots yellow. Thankfully, the site they chose was flat and free of standing water.

Outside the tent, many people began to get busy, wring out their clothes, setting up pots to boil hot water, and Cynthia's family was among them.

"Lord Rodin, have a bowl of ginger soup. The little girl had a fine layer of sweat on her forehead, and her pretty face was flushed, as if she had been busy for a while, and when she saw Rodin come out of the tent, she immediately brought a bowl of steaming ginger soup.

Rodin took a few sips and asked with a smile, 'How is Dick, is he not sick?' ”

Cynthia said gratefully, "Thanks to your arrival last night, he didn't get caught in the rain and is still asleep." ”

"Alright, you guys go ahead, I'll walk around for a while. “

After Rodin drank the ginger soup, he circled the tent circle for another week, and gradually frowned. He found several elderly people and children, perhaps accidentally drenched in the rain and before they could take a hot bath, catching a cold and coughing gently.

One of the women was holding the child with a panicked face and a prayer in her mouth.

Rodin stepped forward, and a little girl of five or six years old, with a slightly red face and eyes closed, was lying in her mother's arms, coughing from time to time and saying a few indistinct words, and the situation seemed to be quite bad. Rodin reached out and touched her forehead, which was hot.

In this day and age, fever can be a fatal condition. Originally, there was a male physician in the town of Hideaway, but he was unfortunately killed by ghouls, and Rodin and his group did not deliberately pick up the herbs when they left the town, and they didn't know if they could find it.

"When we came this morning, I noticed that little Emma was feverish, please, save my little Emma, please! Whining. The women begged for help helplessly, but everyone could only helplessly comfort them, and they had no choice.

"Don't worry, everyone help ask around to see if anyone has brought herbs. You give your child plenty of warm water. ”

Everyone scattered and asked, the camp was not big, more than 100 people, and all of them returned empty-handed in a short time, the reality was cruel, and no one brought herbs to treat fever.

The little girl's mother looked desperate and held her silently. Rodan gritted his teeth, the physique of humans in this world is better than that of the earth, I hope she can survive it.

Hey, it looks like Fletcher asked him to drink last night. Wine, yes, that's the way to do it.

Rodin excitedly ran up to Fletcher.

Seeing Rodin's burning appearance, Fletcher comforted: "Don't blame yourself too much, just do your best for little Emma." ”

"Got the wine?"

"Hey, you didn't want to ask you to drink last night, but today I took the initiative. Do you want to drink to drown your sorrows?"

"Are you done drinking, if not, give it to me!"

Seeing that the other party's expression was serious, not like a joke, Fletcher simply took out a palm-sized wine jug from his arms and handed it to Rodin,

"You can take it easy and leave me some. “

Holding a delicate small wine jug, I gently checked it, and it looked like 3 taels. He had tasted the Vikimar Champion Wine when he was in the Melissa Tavern, and it was over 20 degrees, just right.

"Eldest sister, you take little Emma into the tent, use this bar to moisten the soft towel, wring it until it is half dry, and then gently wipe little Emma's neck, chest, armpits, and hands and feet, so that the heat in her body can be dispersed and she can be cooled down. “

"Well, okay, I'll go in. The woman took the flask from Rodin's hand with some awkwardness, and entered the tent with a slight trembling figure.

Rodin let out a breath and temporarily let go of his hanging heart, and before he knew it, every move of the members of the team worried him.

"What's wrong with me? How good it used to be that one person could feed the whole family without going hungry, and he had to be involved in this gang of things. “

After this incident, the team will not be able to set off this morning. Rodin simply sat in the crowd, baked wet clothes with everyone, drank ginger soup, and chatted.

"I haven't seen such a violent rainstorm for several years. An old man with gray hair and a wine-red face couldn't help but sigh.

"The rape and wheat that I grow in my fields have suffered. ”

"It's useless to think so much, I don't think I will be able to return to Yinyi Town in this life, maybe it will become a monster nest in the future. “

"monster, I hate that I'm old, and if I'm twenty years younger, I'll rush up and fight those beasts like those children. “

Most of them were old people sighing, and the people listening on the side were reminded of their memories and some wandered out of the world.

Rodin couldn't help but turn to the businesswoman who was leading the way, and asked, "By the way, Zola, what is the specific situation in Elden City, and what should we pay attention to after we enter the city? “

Seeing everyone looking at her expectantly, Zola couldn't help but show a smile on her white face, and said slowly: "Elden City is the territory of the Grand Duke of Hill, and it is also the northernmost city of the Sith Empire, which is equivalent to a border town, with thousands of permanent troops, and the city gate wall alone is more than 20 meters high, covering an area equivalent to dozens of hidden towns.

There is a prosperous business, restaurants, gambling houses, theaters, hot springs, brothels, hunters' guilds, everything, as long as there is money, it is a paradise on earth.

The Grand Duke of Hill is a relatively gentle administrator, and is not very repulsive to the sinners, so if we want to take refuge in Elden, it will be fine.

However, the local people are not very friendly, and when Edward and I were doing business in the city, we were often provoked by them for no reason, and the soldiers defending the city collected half the tax on our caravans of criminals. “

"Rodin, I suddenly regret it, can we go back?"

Fletcher suddenly had a fat face, and everyone's faces became cloudy, and now they woke up like a dream, the identity of the sinners has always been a huge obstacle, before people patronized and looked at the light in front of them, and subconsciously ignored the darkness in the background.

Rodin pretended to reprimand him, "Fall back, isn't this the initiative to jump into the monster's mouth!?

Fu You asked in a soft tone, "By the way, Zola, do you have any acquaintances in the city, can you help arrange everyone." “

Zora couldn't help but show a reluctant expression, but seemed to be a little afraid that everyone would be angry, and said cautiously: "

If there are about a dozen people, I can help arrange it, but there are too many people, and most of them are old people, women and girls. There's really nothing I can do. “

For Fletcher and other young people who are strong and have a certain foundation in swordsmanship, they can still mix well when they arrive at Elden, and they have this confidence. But the majority of the team consisted of old and weak old men, and a woman with a bottle of oil.

Zora seemed to realize that he had dealt a blow to the crowd, and panicked and remedied: 'However, there are many rich men in Elden City, and they need a lot of servants. “

After a pause, she looked at everyone's faces again, saw that they did not violently reject, and then said: "If the big guy doesn't dislike it, I can find you a good employer." “

Servant?Rodin couldn't help but sink to the ground, and asked, "Sign the deed of sale?"

Seeing Rodin's displeasure, Zola hurriedly laughed and said: "That, that can't be helped, the imperial law stipulates that a servant must sign a contract with his employer, but it is not necessarily a contract of sale, it can be signed for seven or eight years, or ten years." “

"The identity of the sinners is already lowly in their eyes, and if they go to be servants again, wouldn't that be a shame for them to kill?!"

Most of the team are farmers who have been busy in the fields for most of their lives, they are simple, but not stupid, their status is not noble, but they also have their own dignity.

"Zola, we are all a handful of years old, and it stands to reason that we should see everything, but it is not uncommon for people to live a face and be used as cattle and horses for those city people who look down on us!"

"Yes, we would rather continue to go to the fields and farm, even if it is more tiring and hard, and we should not be slaves. “

Zola thought that he had made this suggestion out of good intentions, but he did not expect to provoke such a violent reaction, and his face couldn't help but turn blue and white, a little annoyed, and a little scared.

Rodin waved his hand, suppressed the noise of everyone, and said lightly: "Don't make trouble, everyone, Zola is also out of good intentions and wants to help us, but he didn't think about it too carefully." ”

"Don't worry too much, we're more than halfway to Elden City. ”

"Besides, now that we can live unharmed, compared to our relatives and friends who died under the minions of monsters, it is also a blessing to invite heaven!"

After speaking, he comforted softly: "Sister Zola, don't mind too much, everyone is straightforward and doesn't blame you." “

Zorayu reluctantly explained: "Actually, I don't like the ugly faces of most of the people in the city, but there are still good people among them, and they don't dislike our identity. If you can accept it, then I will definitely try to help you find such a person. Please think again. “

After this conversation, everyone went back to their own work. Only Rodin and a few members remained.

Rodin twitched his head for some reason, and asked the bearded middle-aged man mischievously, "Ralph, do you have any plans for Elden?"

"Ah, I 、、、" didn't seem to expect the other party to suddenly ask such a question, and Ralph, who was wandering in the world, couldn't help but be stunned.

"Haha, aren't you ready to live with your lover? “

"You, you know?!" Ralph looked dumbfounded.

Fletcher's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask: "What kind of double lodging amphibious, quickly recruit from the truth, do you have a woman in the city?"

The team members teased for a while, and finally pried Ralph's mouth open, and everyone heard a wave of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Why doesn't anyone take a fancy to me?" Fletcher narcissistically touched his white chubby face and muttered to himself: No, if you have a chance to enter Eldon, you must go to the brothel to see it. ”

"Listening to Zola, Eldon doesn't seem to be short of guards, but our swordsmanship can't be learned in vain, why don't we go to the Hunters' Guild together to find something to do?"

After listening to Rodin's suggestion, the team fell silent, only Fletcher agreed with a big grin, and Rodin had an understanding in his heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, everyone hurry up and have a good rest, if it goes well, you can leave in the afternoon." ”

"Eh, wait, Rodin, have I run out of wine, I'll get the rest back." ”
