Chapter 279: Resignation (I)
With little Martin in his arms, Zod's figure walking down the street is still tall, and he is a little less impetuous than when he came before.
The battle just now was just a small scene for him, and Hogg's strength may have surprised him a little, but after all, he was just a high-level miscellaneous soldier-level figure.
Compared to these little people in his arms sobbing vigorously, it really gave him a little headache, expecting the rough man in the army to have delicate thoughts and emotions is completely a luxury, and Zod, who doesn't know how to treat it at all, can only endure the embarrassment in his heart and hope to rush back to the 'happy life' as soon as possible, at least there is someone there who is better at these.
"Uncle Zod......" Martin in his arms suddenly said.
The word 'uncle' made him a little painful, although he could be regarded as a young man in any part of the continent at his age of thirty, but thinking about the age gap between Xiao Yi and himself, he really couldn't enjoy the treatment of being called 'brother' by Xiao Zhengtai like him. However, Jeff, who accidentally broke in to deliver the letter last time, is said to be less than twenty years old, but because he looks older than him with a scruffy beard, his heart is balanced when he thinks of the expression on the kid who brought his colleagues to dinner the day before yesterday and is also called 'uncle' by the little ghost.
"What's wrong, does your face still hurt?"
Zod made what he thought was the most kind smile, but little Martin shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said timidly:
"I'm sorry, Uncle Zod......! Am I useless!"
"Why do you say that? You are amazing, you see, you can come out to work and make money at such a young age, and you have just been arrested without crying and making a fuss, how brave! If I were your age, I don't know how much worse you are!"
"I'm not brave...... Just now because I was afraid of pain, I handed over the method that Brother Xiao Yi told me to use the 'magic pocket' to the bad guys, and if I knew other people's methods, I would have said it...... Martin helped the bad guys, Martin is not a good boy!"
After saying that, he began to cry.
If it weren't for the fact that he was still holding the child, Zod would really feel helpless now, Martin's words made him feel very uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to comfort him, or he couldn't refute Martin's words.
Although he doesn't know much about the child's mind, after all, he also came from this age, loyalty and bravery are definitely the source of self-esteem and self-confidence for a boy, and once this principle is violated, it is difficult to get rid of frustration and self-blame.
If his previous brother or his soldiers had a similar problem, a drink or a beating could solve the problem in disguise, but the one in front of him was obviously not good, just when he looked at the crying Martin and had nothing to do, a voice came from the side:
"Zod, did you get someone out?"
The familiar voice and face made Zod's heart settle down all of a sudden, and Xiao Yi brought Neuer and Duitt over.
After the meeting, a brief question made Xiao Yi understand the beginning and end of what had just happened, so he squatted in front of Martin, who was still wiping his tears after being put down by Zode:
"Frightened!"
"Brother Xiao Yi, I did something wrong, you scold me!"
"You didn't do anything wrong, it's wrong to ignore your own safety for a little money and things, if you really do that, brother, I will be very sad!"
Xiao Yi wiped his tears for Martin, and the little boy finally stopped crying when he saw his big brother who had always been very good to him and others, but he still behaved very aggrieved:
"But my mother said that if someone pays you a salary, you have the obligation to protect your employer's property, otherwise no one will hire you again, and I almost lost my brother's things, I know that these are very valuable, and if I don't get them back, my brother will definitely be angry with me......"
"No, you are all friends of little Jamie, he asked him to help his brother, and my brother is too late to thank you, how can I blame you!"
Xiao Yi reached out and touched Martin's head twice, and then said:
"What your mother told you does make sense, but that's for ordinary people, this little thing is really nothing to my brother, how can I be angry with you for such a small thing!"
"That's it, I don't know if little Jamie told you, my father is the president of one of the four major chambers of commerce in the empire, even if Brother Xiao Yi has no money, your brother Duitt and I are also very rich, this little thing was robbed and robbed, and I will earn it in the future." ”
Douyte was also on the side to help, deliberately acting very embarrassed, and the chubby body was very happy, so little Martin finally showed a little smile.
Of course, if he knew that Young Master Duitt was strictly controlled by his family, the first huge pocket money in his life was earned back by these little beans for him, it would probably be a different expression.
led the children back to the restaurant, and the friends who knew that something was going on and were waiting here rushed up, chattering and condolences so that it was not noisy, while Xiao Yi left Duitt to help take care of the children, and he went back to the upstairs room with Zod and Neuer.
"I didn't make any trouble!"
After entering the house, Xiao Yi asked straightforwardly.
"There are no deaths, and it is estimated that there are a lot of cripples!" Zuode had nothing to hide in front of Xiao Yi, so he naturally answered truthfully.
"I don't need to say hello to the people in charge of this area through Captain Gino of the Royal City Guard, if Hogg and his gang make a bad report, it may be a bit of a trouble, after all, judging from the results, they are the side that looks like the bitter master!" Neuer suggested on the side, which meant to guard against the other party in the official face, and in his current capacity as a duty manager in the restaurant, he often dealt with the royal nobles who came to eat. If you want to settle this relationship, it is definitely handy.
"Hmph, they dare! I'll just kill them all one more time!" Zod glared directly, revealing a ruthlessness that made people never doubt that he did what he said.
"No, I think you should be able to deter them this time, don't forget that you are worried about Duke Kerry, it is best to be less ruthless! Neuer, the city guards will trouble you, be prepared!"
After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Neuer went out directly to run errands, so only Zod and Xiao Yi were left in the house.
"Tell me, why are you so impulsive today! Don't think I haven't seen it, your murderous aura has been a bit heavy lately!"
Xiao Yi continued to ask Zod a very abrupt question.
"Actually, I've been telling you all the time!"
"Say, you don't have anything to scruple with me anyway!"
Zod nodded in agreement, but still paused before solemnly speaking:
"I may need to be away for a while!"
