Chapter 280: Chance Encounter (1)
"Hey, bastard Tors have finally lifted the ban. ”
Bully Han Norton clenched his fists together, his bones crackled, and after venting his sullen anger, he grinned and showed his white teeth: "Guys, let's go to the tavern for a drink? I'm in for a treat tonight!"
"Oh, it's rare that Norton, the stingy knight, is ready to have a treat, so I'm welcome. The Ranger Drow, who had always maintained a fierce complexion, had a slightly slower complexion, but his only one-eyed eye was still bright and calm, and he decided to observe the atmosphere and situation in the city on the road, so as not to be confused.
Soon, more than 30 people gathered next to Norton, and the others followed suit, pulling up a gang and preparing to go out and play.
Compared to the joy of the others, the nobles were obviously unhappy, they already knew that the Tors had not completely eradicated the nobles in the city, and deliberately left a part of the power in the city, the despicable Torrs!
At this time, they gathered around Viscount Brooke, and prepared to go to the mansion of the rival nobles to recover the assets that belonged to them and determine their own position of power.
As the sun set, the soldiers of the Taylor Regiment buried their cooking pots and smoked up, most of the members of the resistance left the camp as a group, and only a few remained in the camp.
"Sister, don't you plan to go home and see?"
Hearing Vivien's whispered question, Simina shook her head and responded, "The house is probably occupied by those bastards, and we will inevitably clash with the other party when we go in now, so let's wait for Brooke to negotiate with the other party, and we will go back after the other party returns." ”
"Well, there's really no need to worry, it's buried in the woods, and no one will find it. Vivien picked up her thick book again, sat down on the rock, and looked through it quietly.
Simina glanced at her sister, sighed inwardly, reached out and drew the familiar coat of arms on the ground, and gradually fell into the whirlpool of memories
On the other side, Charon pushed the door open and walked into the antique shop.
"Brother Charon, have you had dinner? Would you like to have a meal here?"
Before Connie could finish her sentence, Benedict snorted heavily and tapped his pipe on the workbench, his face full of unswerving.
"Grandpa!" Connie knew that Grandpa wanted to protect her, but Charon was not a bad person and should not treat people with such an impolite attitude.
"Come into the house and cook. ”
Benedict's tone was stern and stiff, leaving no room for change, and he thought that this would make his granddaughter obedient, but this time it didn't work out as he wanted.
"Grandpa, you're too much!" Connie sobbed with a sour nose and tears slid down like pearls, and now it was Benedict's turn to be dumbfounded.
"Eh, Connie, don't cry, grandpa didn't mean to kill you, grandpa just wanted to protect you. You know, there are too many villains in Gavin's city, this kid is either rich or expensive, it's certainly not a good thing, and grandpa is also good for you to guard against him. ”
"Woo, grandpa, you say it's good for me every time, don't let me go out, don't let me talk to others more, don't let me do anything, don't give me any freedom, Brother Charon is not a bad person, Mr. Jeff, who has been sending us daily necessities, is kind-hearted, I just want to talk to them more, why do you have to stop me with a bad attitude every time, grandpa?"
"This?!!this," Benedict was speechless, "that's not the case, Connie, you listen to me, Grandpa is just"
"I don't listen! I don't listen!" Connie covered her ears, tears still lingering.
Benedict was completely out of step at this moment, and turned his head to glare at Charon, it was this stinky boy who caused the trouble, hateful!
Sensing the old gentleman's hostility towards him, Charon shrugged his shoulders casually, which made the old gentleman even more angry, but the other party finally approached him and said in a low tone: "If you can stabilize Connie's emotions, I will allow you to buy two items today." ”
"Oh, there's a rule. "In my eyes, Connie is far more important than rigid rules. ”
For the girl who shed tears, Charon didn't solve the problem, walked to Connie who was squatting on the ground, and patted the other party's shoulder comfortingly, of course, this action inevitably caused the old gentleman to look at him angrily.
"I'm sorry, let Brother Charon see the joke" Connie Xiu's nose twitched, a little embarrassed, but soon cried aggrievedly, "Woo Grandpa is a bad person, he didn't let me go out to play since he was a child, he didn't let me make friends when he said that it was dangerous outside, he didn't let me go out to buy things and read story books, and he also had to nag about it, saying that it was poisonous thoughts, and I don't like to read books, I want to get in touch with the outside world, but grandpa won't let me, don't let anything"
The old gentleman's typical over-care has caused a lot of trouble to Connie, Charon glanced back at Benedict, and found that the other party was rubbing his hands with embarrassment, and the other party's calm and calm image of a strong man was completely ruined.
"Okay, don't cry at Xiaonia, a girl with a crying face is not good-looking. ”
"I don't want to cry either, but grandpa is always like this" "The old gentleman is really bad, Connie, don't worry about him." ”
Hearing Charon bury her grandfather, Connie hurriedly spoke up, "Actually, grandpa is not so bad, I know that he wants to protect me, and he doesn't want me to be hurt from the outside like my father and mother, but he is a little harsh, really, just a little bit." When I was a child, my grandfather took me to the mountains to look for rabbits."
"Yes. Charon gently stroked Connie's hair, and the disguised freckles on the latter's face were washed away by tears, revealing a few lines of white and tender skin, which he ignored and continued to listen to the other man's story.
In the end, Connie wiped away the tears and concluded that "Grandpa is actually quite good", and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Charon, I just let you see the joke." ”
Before Charon could say anything, Benedict hurriedly jumped forward and blocked between the two of them, intentionally or unintentionally, "Connie, grandpa apologizes to you, it's all grandpa's fault." ”
"I know, grandpa!" Connie's eyes were reddened and her green eyes were shining, "I'm going in and cooking." ”
"Okay, grandpa likes your cooking the most. "Well, it's a virtue to be kind to your guests!" Connie raised her voice slightly.
"Uh," Benedict choked and forced a smile, "Then do a little more, and let this customer also taste my own granddaughter's handiwork." ”
With permission, Connie smiled sweetly at Charon, then turned around and went into the house to cook.
"Well, sir, I've already had dinner. "Charon is quiet.
Benedict immediately blew his beard and glared, lowered his voice and said viciously: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?!
Charon waved his hands, and before he could say his words, the old gentleman eagerly ordered the little girl to go in, so that the contradiction could be completely reached the limit, and he couldn't help it.
As usual, Charon took out a bag of coins and put it on the workbench, but Benedict didn't come to get him the gloves, so he had to open the drawer himself and find the gloves and put them on.
"Do you really think this is your home?" Seeing Charon study the broken stone slab on his own without his permission, Benedict gritted his teeth and almost shattered!
Half an hour later, Connie came out of the back room and said to the two, "Grandpa, Brother Charon, it's time to eat." ”
Charon and the old gentleman glanced at each other, noticed the entanglement in each other's eyes, shook their heads, and immediately stepped out and made a decision for each other.
"Stinky boy!" Benedict cursed in his heart, and hurriedly followed.
After entering the curtain, there was a small room first, Charon saw three or four shelves with all kinds of antiques on them, and at this time, the black ring on his body also strengthened, he secretly glanced a few times, and remembered those antiques that he had never seen in his eyes.
"Brother Charon, over here. Connie beckoned.
Passing through the small room, several people came to the resting room, where seven or eight plates of dishes were placed on the small round table, and there were three stools on the floor, one of which had obviously been brought from somewhere else, all of different shapes and colors.
The three of them sat around the round table, Connie's face was flushed, the freckles of disguise had been washed away by her with water, and Benedict on the side opened his mouth, and finally said nothing, it was indeed not a glorious thing for him to ask his granddaughter to look ugly.
"Grandpa, Brother Charon, dinner begins!" Perhaps venting all the resentment in her heart, Connie was more lively and brisk than usual.
"Thank you to the old gentleman and Kang Ni for your hospitality, and I'm welcome. ”
Benedict angrily picked up his knife and fork and sliced the steak on his plate, which was undoubtedly much more elegant than Charon, and every movement was imbued with the beauty of aristocratic etiquette.
"Brother Charon, you look so good when you eat. Hey, grandpa, why did you bend the fork?!"
For Benedict, this was the most depressing dinner he had in more than ten years, but he had also been observing the aristocratic youth, and found that the other party was not attracted by the granddaughter who had removed his disguise, and those clear eyes contained a touch of coldness, and the abyss was bottomless, either he was not a good woman, or the city government was terrible in scheming, he was more inclined to the latter, and this person was not even a little surprised to see Connie's change.
"Young man, since you have enough to eat, go study the antiques, and don't get in the way here. ”
Charon smiled indifferently, "Okay, I'll go and see the slate first, maybe there's something new." ”
"Brother Charon" Connie wanted to speak and stopped, she wanted to tell the other party that her grandfather said that the stone slab was just a corner cut from the forest ruins, although it has been full of vicissitudes, the actual value is not large, and it does not carry the historical aftertaste, and there is basically nothing to gain from studying this item.
However, Charon had already left the room at this time, so she could only pull the corner of her grandfather's clothes and whispered: "Grandpa, don't fool others." ”
Benedict nodded nonchalantly, this small stone tablet that he thought was worth no more than thirty gold coins at the most, he decided not to sell three thousand gold coins, he wanted to sell ten thousand!
In the camp in Xicheng District, Simina saw Vivian finishing dinner and preparing to read a book, so she hurriedly snatched it away, "Don't be bored here, let's go visit Benedict's seniors, you can still find treasures in him, and you can also see Connie, we haven't seen her for a long time, I really miss her." ”
