"Teacher, do you need me to ......?"
The thin mayor, his eyes shining at this time, stood beside the old man with his head bowed and asked, his expression a little uneasy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After the house was emptied for a moment, the sight of the two was finally obscured, and a layer of energy field invisible to ordinary people demarcated the beast material store, making it no longer audible and visible to them to see the situation in the store.
The old man's hand stroking his beard also loosened at this moment, and he helped up the fence of the pavilion, his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep standing up.
After a long time, he sighed: "It's really old!"
"Such a strong person, I initially thought it was the Du family's own person, but now it seems that it is the strength of the Du family's young man himself. ”
"Housheng, terrifying!"
Chang Mingqi looked at the old man's sighing look after opening his eyes, and his eyes were full of surprise.
The capable person guarding the roof naturally did not escape their sight from the beginning, and as the much-loved concubine of the Du family, it was only natural for the family to send a strong man to protect him.
However, when the words of the minister, the secretary, the minister, and the soldier popped out of the mouth of the little junior brother, more than a dozen invisible but deadly powers immediately penetrated the bodies of everyone outside the beast material store, including the shopkeeper and the strong man, and then the invisible energy shield rose.
Even though the dozen or so people in front of him are safe and sound, after being attacked by them without even noticing it, I am afraid that there are not many days left.
Ruthless, ruthless, decisive.
This kind of behavior has far exceeded the responsibility of protecting the Du family, and the person with the ability to roof the roof, the object of his real allegiance is by no means the Du family clan in Qin Du Town, but the good-faced young man who has never revealed his ambitions!
Be faithful to that one only.
"Mentor ......"
The old man shook his head slowly: "It's okay. ”
With his hands off the fence, his figure walked into the pavilion, his back fading.
"Just keep an eye on it, let them do it themselves. Today's matter, even if it's over, after a while, your little junior brother will come to the town again, and then ......"
“...... I'll leave everything to you!"
Listening to some ethereal words, the mayor's thin face suddenly became frightened, staring at the direction where the back disappeared: "Teacher, you ......"
"Remember: fate, not by oneself!
Chang Mingqi stopped talking, because he sensed that the old man had disappeared from the pavilion, and even though his mood was complicated, he could no longer convey it to the ears of that familiar person.
Turning his head and looking silently in the direction of the animal material store, several strong men outside the store stared fiercely at the passers-by, while the owner and employees of the store talked to each other cautiously, unaware of the fate they were about to face.
Is it really up to you?
......
With that layer of invisible energy cover, the conversation of the little junior brother could no longer be known, and Chang Mingqi could only wait quietly.
Half an hour later, the door of the store was opened, and the two of them, who looked like children in his eyes, showed their bodies again, the smile on the face of the young man of the Du family returned to its original state, Chang Mingqi also saw a little sincerity that was different from before, and the boy's expression was still flat.
The two nodded to each other as they crossed the threshold of the animal material shop.
"Go and prepare a suit of armor!" this was the young man's command to the strong man.
The inexplicable servant didn't dare to ask more, so he separated one person, took the big bag of brute beast supplies from the boy's hand, and hurried out of the street.
The young man of the Du family is not a person who is exclusively favored, even if it is military equipment such as military armor, the domestic servants who were ordered to bring it back in just ten minutes.
The clanging gear looked heavy, encased in white leather goods, and was lifted by the boy's hand.
"Goodbye, then!"
"Goodbye!"
The young man of the Du family stopped, watched the boy's back walk towards the entrance of the town, and then disappeared on the town road.
Chang Mingqi in the town lord's pavilion looked further, he saw the boy walking into the woods, his steps were very steady, and walking on the flat ground gave him the illusion of walking higher and higher.
This little junior brother may really be able to achieve the goal of his mentor!
......
Bang dang!
The armor in leather was placed on the small wooden table in the wooden house, and it made a lot of noise.
The old man who was already sitting in the room, still fanning the yellow leaves, glanced at the set of military armor, the metallic color mixed with silver and yellow, with a verdant green, from the gap in the leather goods, without the slightest rust.
"Get it back!" the boy whispered, and began to tidy up the messy fur bedding in the house.
Looking at the little figure that was silent and silent, but kept busy, the old man felt a little deflated.
"Are you angry?"
The boy's movements did not pause: "No. ”
"Then why do you talk so little?"
Yu Guang glanced at the old man who was holding back the panic, and the boy cherished words like gold: "My character is like this." ”
"Fart!" Huang Ye slapped, flew out of the old man's hand, and hit the boy in the shoulder: "You don't talk to me much!"
As soon as the words came out, the old man realized something, but unfortunately he wanted to spill the water, and he couldn't take it back from his mouth.
The boy stopped tidying up, picked up the yellow leaf fan from the ground, gently placed it in front of the old man, and then looked at the old man: "How do you know?"
The old man was speechless, and only after a while did he mutter: "You, you are knowingly asking, knowingly asking!"
As he spoke, he angrily picked up the yellow leaf fan and walked outside the house.
Inside, there were still a few pieces of meat from the winged hog, which had been dug for two years, and the boy dragged them out, carried them on his shoulders, and moved them out of the cabin.
The pieces of meat were placed on the grill, and the flint struck them, and the flames rose in two blows, and the bright yellow flames scorched the sebum of the pieces, causing them to gradually dissolve into white grease.
"Saying so many words, just for the layout. A faint word came out of the boy's mouth, breaking the melody of the grill turning.
The rhythm of the yellow leaf fan stopped abruptly, and it took a beat to recover.
The old man snorted, still silent.
The boy glanced at the old man who was still angry, and said softly, "Don't look like a child, I am." ”
Syllable!
The yellow leaf fan threw out the palm of his hand again and landed on the boy's head, causing the bun to shake slightly, and the little face in the swaddling clothes was still silent under the shaking shadow.
The old man kept rolling his eyes, and finally let go of his eyebrows after a while: "You have said so much to the young man of the Du family, have you already guessed what I mean?"
The leg meat was already a pale yellow color, and the boy grabbed a handful of spices and began to sprinkle them evenly.
"Your meaning is clear from the beginning, no need to guess. ”
"In that case, don't you resist?"
The spices fell in large handfuls, tangled with the gravy and condensed into an ugly protrusion.
"I ...... Just don't want to leave. ”
The expressionless face made the old man feel inexplicably irritable, shook his beard, frowned and got up to pick up the yellow leaf fan that he had taken off, and for a while only the sound of footsteps and the crackling of flames was mixed.
Picking up the fan blades, he turned back and sat back on the chaise longue under the eaves, but his back was slow to lean back on the back of the chair.
"You know, sooner or later, there will come a time when you're going to start your own life. ”
The boy didn't make a sound, and seemed to be concentrating on the surface of the leg with a bone knife, trying to make the spices better blend into the meat.
The pure white grease turned golden, the flames swayed, the sizzling sound gradually became stronger, and an enticing aroma penetrated the noses of the two.
However, neither the old man nor the boy was indifferent.
"How long?" As if he felt that the two words could not express a clear meaning, the boy's face was expressionless, his lips squirmed twice and then explained: "Military armor, when will you use it?"
The flames flickered, and after the old man groaned for a long time, he finally leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and said, "After four years, let's leave!"
Burst!
The last condiments were sprinkled on the supper, and the firewood was extinguished by the boy with a thick hide, and the golden dripping leg meat was placed on a rudimentary wooden tray, divided into two parts, one large and one small, with a bone knife, and brought to the ground under the eaves.
"It's time to eat. ”
The aroma wafted through the forest for a long time, but it did not attract any movement from the brute, as if it did not want to disturb the silent dinner.
......
"Did you hear that? The profiteer is dead. ”
The owner and employees of the animal material shop died one after another for several days, most of them lost their heartbeats in their sleep, only the boss died suddenly while counting the crystal coins, with a distorted smile on his face, as if he was strangely satisfied.
"I've heard that it's all retribution! ”
"Yes, yes, even the people around the young master of the Du family have suffered!"
The five strong men of that day also fell ill inexplicably, began to have a fever, a sore throat, and began to be unable to speak or see in a short period of time, lying on the bed unable to move.
The Du family treated them as plague infected people and quarantined, and they all lost their lives one after another for more than ten days.
And so, these things spread through the mouths of the townspeople.
"However, fortunately, Young Master Du is fine!"
"That's Young Master Du's kindness, and he didn't have an accident because of the blessing of the god of the boat, otherwise that profiteer would not be enough to die ten more times. ”
"That's right!"
"By the way, do you know that there was a plague in the animal material store at that time, and there was still one person who didn't have an accident. ”
"Oh-oh, you mean the boy!"
"Yes! It's the swaddling boy!"
"I heard that that boy is actually Young Master Du's lucky star, and he is a heavenly soldier sent down from heaven to protect Young Master Du. ”
"It must be like this, otherwise why is it only him and Young Master Du who have nothing to do!"
In the months that followed, the boy no longer stayed in the woods all day to practice, and the townspeople of Qindu Town gradually became familiar with such a strange figure.
A swaddling cloth that never makes a sound, a face that never has an expression.
Although he was poorly dressed, everyone knew that behind him stood the young master Du with the best reputation in Qin Du Town, and no one bothered to fight him, but inexplicably, the title of Zhou Shenbing Guard began to circulate.
But the boy doesn't have much time to show up in town.
The vacant animal material shop was bought by the Du family, and every time the basic boy entered the town, he quickly disappeared into this small shop converted into a pharmacy, and only reappeared a few hours before leaving Qin Du Town.
Then strange nursery rhymes came out of the mouths of the children, and gradually spread among the lower people.
"The young master of the Du family was heard by the sky, and the Zhou God Guards were in Zhentun. ”
"Swaddle on the back, bun wheel. ”
"Qindu Town, Elevated City!"
