Chapter 97: Goodbye Mingda
Because Charles wanted to heal his injuries, the four of them stayed in this inn for three whole days, and the situation was just as Valen said, the city lord of the Three Mandalas really came in person, and Charles refused for three days on the grounds of recuperation, and the entourage on the side of the city lord said: "Could it be that the magician doesn't want to see us, so he will drive us out again and again." ”
So the lord of the city finally did not visit the inn again on the fourth day, and Charles was finally relieved. Prepare to leave.
"Lord Charles?!" a voice of surprise sounded in Charles's ears, and the man in the family of three was looking at Charles with ecstaty.
"Mr. Mingda, why are you here. Charles smiled, and there was a hint of joy in his words, no matter who he was, it was very warm in his heart.
Mingda walked over and successively made a fuss to Charles and Yukina, and in Mingda's heart, he felt that since they were all friends of Lord Charles and Miss Yukina, they must also be big shots, and there must be nothing wrong with being a civilian businessman one by one.
After saluting, Mingda greeted Xiao'er very warmly and wanted to entertain the four of Charles, Charles felt that Mingda was not bad, so he looked at Xuecai and a few people, and looked at Xuecai and said that it didn't matter, and Charles responded.
Mingda sat in the lower seat, his son and wife sat at another table eating happily, and the little boy's smart eyes looked at Charles from time to time, and his flawless pupils were full of curiosity and joy, as if he was also happy to meet Charles.
"Lord Charles, Miss Yukina, if it weren't for your escort, I'm afraid that the goods at that time would have been divided by the robbers by now, my family, life and death are unknown, and we can have our current life thanks to your help. Saying that, Mingda got up, bowed deeply to the two, raised his wine glass, and did it first as a respect.
"We're just on a mission. Charles said with a slight smile. Yukina doesn't want to talk, the food in front of her is much more tempting than talking to people, and as for Valen and Pulit, they are not familiar with Mingda, how to interject.
"By the way, the commander has already received my 150,000 yuan before the beginning of the mission, and there is still a note here. Mingda said in a hurry.
"Why do you say that?" Charles was a little puzzled by Mingda's flustered statement that he had already given Giles money.
"Because there was a precedent of being cheated without a document, I am a little scared now. Mingda smiled bitterly, "Although it was a long time ago, it is impossible for the House to think that I am right without a written note." ”
Mingda sighed deeply, cooperating with Giles was like seeking skin with the tiger, and he brought his own in at some point.
"Bang!" Valen slammed the glass on the table with a crisp sound, and the wine in the glass poured out and spilled on the table, his eyes were angry, and he looked at Charles and said, "Do you still think he is your teacher?"
Yukina and Plitt also looked at Charles with strange eyes, which means that the so-called 150,000 has nothing to do with Charles? So why did Charles······ ?
A big question mark arose in the hearts of the two.
Charles heard a smile on the corner of his mouth, but no one could understand the meaning of this smile, even if Charles himself didn't understand, but didn't there be a sentence that said, one day as a teacher and a lifelong teacher, no matter what, he was brought in by Giles, isn't it?
Charles didn't want to answer this question, because there was no answer, so he looked at Mingda and changed the topic and asked, "Where are you going next?"
Mingda's expression darkened inexplicably when he heard this, looking at the wine in the cup, as if observing his own reflection, he raised his head suddenly, drank it, and said softly: "Yes, after all, the remaining money is enough to buy a dowry for his children, and it is not bad to go home and open a small shop, and live like this for the rest of his life." After 30 years of running, I am tired, and my family is also tired. ”
Mingdama rubbed the rim of the cup, and his tone became low, without the joy of returning to his hometown at all.
"Enlightened ······" Charles looked at Mingda a little strangely, and said with concern.
"It's okay, Lord Charles, I'm cowardly from home, I don't know if the people in my hometown can recognize the hairy boy when they see me. Mingda smiled and got up to pour everyone again, finally filling his glass.
After being full of wine and food, Mingda didn't get up for a long time, and talking and laughing was just some unnutritious topics.
Charles had already noticed Mingda's expression of wanting to speak and stopping many times, just to wait for Mingda to pick out the explanation himself, but he didn't expect it to drag on to the end, and Mingda didn't say it.
"Mingda, if you have anything to say, I'll listen. Charles said.
Mingda listened with a ashamed expression, knowing that his purpose had been exposed, took a deep breath, and looked at Charles solemnly: "Lord Charles, please go to Jiyu Village with me, I Mingda will be very grateful." ”
"Do you want Charles to carry out the mission again?" Before Charles could speak, Valen stood up and directly rejected Mingda's proposal, Charles was beaten covered in blood, and the reason for his anger was Giles, but if there was no Mingda's mission, Charles would not go, let alone the follow-up twenty lashes.
Valen thought that he didn't immediately let Mingda get out of the way was already in a very good temper, if Mingda was pleading, Valen immediately threw a water bomb on it, mercilessly!
"Valen, there was nothing wrong with what happened last time. Charles comforted the already fried Valen, looked at Mingda and wondered, "According to me, Zhijiyu Village is not far from the Three Mandalas, and the carriage is only two days away, although the road is remote, but the road is wide, and the jungles on both sides are far away from the road, and there is no place for robbers to shoot." ”
Mingda's face was like a bitter melon, his words were poor, and he didn't say a reason for it.
"Look, maybe he just wants to be friendly with you, how can there be such a non-existent bandit along the way. ”
"Lord Charles, I swear to the goddess of Hanqing, if there are no thieves, I will be thundered by the sky, even after death, I will be abandoned by the goddess of Hanqing, never fall into reincarnation, and suffer from eternal bones and flesh!" Mingda stared at his eyes and made the most serious oath in the world.
Charles couldn't refute such a heavy statement because of Mingda, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only look at Charles and see how Charles himself was.
