Chapter Thirty-Six: Trouble Sent to the Door
Edison didn't come to find trouble, but trouble sometimes came to Edison.
Just like now, Edison just wanted to simply sell a few ostriches as a means of transportation, and at the same time select the eggs laid by the fast ostriches as a medium to improve the [light body technique], but he never thought that he would meet ......
Before he could enter the city, Edison heard an exaggerated cry, and when he fixed his eyes, he saw a combination of an ostrich and a dromedary in Edison's previous life, and the hump bird rushed straight at him!
Good fellow, Edison looked at the bird, which was nearly 12 feet (about 3.6 meters) tall, and the thick legs accounted for at least half of it, and then looked at the bird's back, a boy who looked no more than 7 or 8 years old was hanging on the single peak on the bird's back, trying to control the hump bird to prevent himself from being thrown off, and at the same time tearing his throat and shouting, reminding passers-by not to be hit.
It's just that now in this posture, it looks like people are about to fall down, and they really dodge, in case they hit someone, it is estimated that they will be half crippled if they are not killed. So Edison said, "Brother Salted Fish, you can make a move!"
As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind blew past Edison, and everyone just felt that there was a flower in front of them, and a man of somewhat short stature grabbed the leg of the running bird with one hand, and then pulled, pulled, and pressed down hard, and the hump bird squatted directly on the ground softly.
It's just that its small head is still a little frightened to look at the man who suddenly appeared in front of it, and I don't understand why it was just a few simple taps, and it was weak to the ground.
That's right. This person is the salted fish that has restored the body of a man, just to show the difference between men and women. Edison called the male body - Salted Fish Brother, and the female body was - Sister Bit.
As for his short stature. In fact, with the height of 176cm of the male body of the salted fish, although it is not tall in this world, it is definitely not short, but compared with the size of the hump bird, it can easily suppress this hand, and the visual impact on ordinary people is great;
......
Over the past three months, Edison has not only improved. After receiving Edison's unsparing guidance during sparring and some of the combat experience from the ninth-order demon warriors, he finally became a well-deserved fifth-order mortal warrior a week ago.
You know, he's only 30 years old this year! In addition, he has learned a lot of Edison's attack methods, such as the "shock" that just hit the hump bird lying down, and now his real combat power will not be much lower than that of an ordinary third-level magician.
......
Holding the boy who was still a little stunned with one hand, Salted Fish asked kindly, "Are you okay!?"
But the little boy didn't appreciate it, and after reacting, he struggled to jump out of Bit's arms. He knelt down at the hump bird on the ground, then crawled over, and said with a crying voice: "Hey, don't scare me! Xiaobai, why is this lying down?"
"My whole family is counting on you to live now!What if you have three long and two short!?"
......
The contrast is enormous. It really made Edison and Salted Fish a little dizzy, but before they could come to their senses, the little boy turned around. The menacing Beatt says:
"You, it's you who killed our family, and I can't move. You're going to pay for it!"
A word from the boy, though not loud. But when it reached the ears of the salted fish, it was simply 'deafening'! The kind smile on his face froze suddenly, and he stammered a little: "But ...... Yes, I save ...... You!?"
Edison guessed with a little laughter: "Could it be that I have encountered porcelain in the other world?"
And the boy's next words seemed to confirm Edison's conjecture, and he said mercilessly:
"Who wants you to save it, you just need to dodge it, now it's okay, if something really happens to my family's 'Xiaobai', what do you want our family to do." ”
"No, you have to pay. "The boy's demeanor and tone are really - amazing!
And with the boy's words, the hump bird naturally lowered its head, closed its eyes, and pretended to be dead with its eyes closed; looking at its skillful appearance, it seems that it is not the first time that a person and a bird have partnered to trap people, and the business is quite skillful!
At the same time, a group of people gradually gathered around, constantly pointing at Edison and the two, and Edison's ears could certainly hear that these people were not saying good things.
All kinds of tricks, reversing black and white, and kindly reminding the little boy that it was unusually great, salted fish to save people became a strong leader, and as a result, it hurt the boy's family's financial resources, not to mention, and they were unwilling to compensate.
You must know that the reason why the camel city is called the camel city is only because the residents of the city, every family has mastered the skills of breeding camel birds and making camel eggs.
It takes at least 25 years for a peak ostrich to reach adulthood, and in order to ensure the quality of oil on the peak ostriche, they must also use a kind of expensive meat sesame grass to feed them constantly, which is really a disaster for families with poor economic conditions if something happens.
But in front of me, let's not explain that the gray and non-slippery peak ostrich is called "Xiaobai...... However, such a spiritual first-level demonic beast is rare!
Edison subconsciously touched his chin, blinked his eyelids, and said: "That's good! We will pay, how many ostriches this peak, we will buy it, after all, it is not easy for you to raise so big! You can't let your family lose their livelihood, right?"
As soon as these words came out, it was difficult for the boy to ride a tiger, because he had no intention of selling the ostriches to others, but just wanted to blackmail a few strangers for a little money.
The boy was a little anxious, but his eyes rolled and he was in his heart. He said loudly: "You have to think clearly, the eggs laid by our 'Xiaobai'. You can get the title of 'Peak Camel Egg King', if you don't have 500 gold coins. I don't sell it!" The boy thought that Edison didn't know how to buy it, so he quoted more than 10 times the price as soon as he exited, trying to scare Edison away.
Unfortunately, this seemed to be useless, and when Edison heard this, his eyes brightened, and he said loudly: "Oh! 500 gold coins is 500 gold coins, and there is a lack of a substitute anyway! ”
Suddenly, the boy was stunned by this. I couldn't help but look up at the salted fish standing on the side, which meant: "Such a large sum of money, did you decide without discussing it?!"
But he didn't expect that because of the magic contract, Salted Fish had already been secretly explained by Edison, so, regardless of the boy's surprised look, he cooperated and said:
"Yes! After so many days of traveling, it's time to find a mount! I think this ostriches are good. There was no problem for the two of them to sit at all, and they just wanted to go into the city to buy birds, and this bird found us, and it was quite fateful. ”
"And I just looked at it upside down. This bird is strong, with solid skin and good claws. Although the price of the call is a little expensive, it is not bad to buy. ”
As soon as I heard this. The boy only felt that his intestines were repentant, and he was actually picking on someone. I like to pick the kind of person who thinks he has the ability and jumps out to be a hero.
In fact, generally such people are first-time adventurers, most of them can't take out a lot of money in their pockets, but there is really no shortage of small money, and most of them think they are heroes, and they don't like to get entangled with people.
Even if they knew afterwards that it was a scam, because the boy was young and did not have much money, he would at most eat a trench and grow wise, and buy a lesson.
But he never expected it! He would meet such two people today, and he didn't know if these two people were really stupid or pretending to be stupid, and he agreed to 500 gold coins without blinking an eye.
But it doesn't matter, because the boy is small, but there is still one trick that can be used, and that is ...... Spoo!
"Don't sell, don't sell, Xiaobai and I grew up together, it's not enough if you hurt it now, you have to buy it, I don't agree, you will pay me a few silver coins, so that Xiaobai can have a full meal, and when he is full, Xiaobai's injuries will naturally get better, and he will naturally have energy......"
As he said this, the boy sat down beside the ostriche, put his arms around his neck and pretended to be pitiful, and even squeezed out a few tears from the corners of his eyes.
This acting skill has to make Edison secretly admire, to be placed in the previous life, this proper Oscar statuette!
"And I'm still so young, there are only two people in the family now, me and my sister, even if you really give me 500 gold coins, how can I keep it! Where are you going to buy Xiaobai! You obviously want to buy my life!" As he spoke, his tears were even more uproaring, and there was a little more truth in his words this time.
As soon as these words came out, it immediately made Xianyu feel a little compassionate, so he asked: "What about your parents, or do you have any other relatives?"
"My parents, they are ...... ...... all."
But before the boy could say why, a big man suddenly popped out of the crowd, raised his hand and slapped the boy, knocked over the boy, and then scolded and said: "Little rabbit, tell you to go out to walk the bird, walk the bird!
Seeing that the fight was almost over, the man turned around and said politely: "I'm really embarrassed! I, my nephew, and his parents died early, and I didn't know anything! I entrusted him to be my uncle, but I was too busy to have time to discipline, and he became like this, what a shame! Shame! Today's incident, the two of you should treat it as if nothing had happened, and let my nephew go once?"
This series of events happened so suddenly, and Salted Fish felt quite dazed at this time!
Naturally, he quietly aimed his eyes at Edison, only to see that Edison was also frowning, constantly looking up and down at the big man who claimed to be the boy's uncle with a strange gaze.
......
There was a sudden silence, and both sides seemed to have something to say, but they didn't know how to speak.
In the end, it was Edison who made the decision.
"Well, since you've said so, let's go!" After saying that, he walked towards the city without looking back.
And the man who claimed to be the boy's uncle said rudely: "Look, look, look, what to see, don't hurry up and take 'Xiaobai' home, don't be embarrassed outside!"
As he spoke, he kicked the boy in the ass, and then scolded and pushed away the crowd and walked out, and the crowd of onlookers seemed to have long been surprised, and after letting the uncle and nephew leave, they slowly dispersed.
Only Edison, who had gone away, muttered to himself in his mouth, "Trouble, how can you meet ...... here" (to be continued. )
PS: Guess what, what did Edison encounter? The text is exactly 3500 words, auspicious! By the way, there will be a book friend written in the related works later, and I revised it by me, you can also take a look, the content has nothing to do with the main line, and it's free.
