608 Books South City East City
Not everyone has the experience of stripping naked and wiping their bodies with hot water in outdoor residential areas. Zhou Shu always felt that Zi's skin had become thicker, although it was quite thick before.
Although he was in the courtyard of Kellnan's house, there was no fence in this yard, and there was only a fence, so that even the chickens could not be trapped.
The sky is getting darker and darker, which is the only good news for the current Master Zhou. His body was not very dirty, only the area where his head and face were kicked by Kyrnan needed to be cleaned. On the other hand, Kernan is not as clean as in the Book of Summoning, and he is probably the kind of kid who may not be able to take a shower once a quarter.
This kind of thing is not uncommon, and in remote areas of modern society, people who have been disgraced all year round are also very much arrested.
Kellnan cleans faster than Zhou Shu who is standing in the yard blushing, and soaks the towel in hot water more often, if the rag is also a towel.
"Are you cold?" Zhou Shu asked the kid beside him.
Kernan's mouth was unexpectedly stiff, "It's not cold. β
"Really?"
"Long-winded. β
Zhou Shu pursed his lips and stood in place to slow down the cleaning speed.
The North Sea region is the equivalent of the first world of Northern Europe, and the climate in mid-September can be imagined. Although Kernan is in good shape, his body is not very strong, and when the cold wind blows when it gets dark, his body is also walking towards the rhythm of a cold.
Zhou Shu thought it was interesting for this kid to be strong, and decided to teach him a lesson, so that he would know what the consequences of not being frank would be.
"Can you help me wipe my back?" Zhou Shu held back and asked in a sincere tone.
"No!" Kernan replied unsurprisingly.
"But I spent the money. β
"That's just the money for hot water. β
Zhou Shu knew that he would say that, and decisively put on an expression of underwhelming, "Maybe I can also choose to repay the debt......"
As soon as these words came out, Kernan, who had been shivering and pouring hot water on Zi's body, was visibly shaken. Zhou Shu knew that it would be impossible not to give this guy the stairs, and it would definitely be useless to let him directly soften. So he said that Zi was willing to pay an extra part of the tip to wipe his back, and Kernan also gritted his back molars and endured it.
He needs money now. His sister had been a saint for more than three years, and she never returned home, and was offered to her in the temple as if she were a true god.
Kellnan knew very well that after his sister returned, he couldn't live in poverty as an ordinary person. In order not to let Zi hear his sister's complaints, he is also determined to make some money back.
Zhou Shu stood in place. Let Kyernan do the work. The evening breeze was getting stronger and stronger, and the northern climate was like that, and Kyernan was choked with a belly of air, shivering in the wind.
Not to mention that he was just a physically stronger child, Zhou Shu would feel cold, as if that little internal organ ability was completely useless. Before Zhou Shu sneezed, Kyernan was defeated first, and his teeth were so cold that even ordinary people could hear them.
Kellnan's endurance was beyond Zhoushu's imagination. At least the process of not admitting defeat is beyond imagination. He didn't seem to be ready to lose in this hardy match, and he just kept a word and went straight to the work, as if he was conceding defeat in his dengdai opponent first.
Zhou Shu really wanted to admit defeat, because his ears heard the footsteps of many people not far away, and it seemed to be moving in this direction. Although it is dark now, I can still see people clearly. He didn't want anyone to see Zi standing naked in the yard with a child, and the worst thing was that the two still had physical contact.
"It's too cold, and if you wash it again, you'll catch a cold. I'll withdraw first!" Zhou Shu said. Grabbed the space belt that had been thrown on the ground, pulled out a blanket, wrapped it up, and went back to the house.
It's the first time Kyernan has seen a space prop. I was stunned and envious for a while. Ten seconds later, a group of pedestrians did pass by outside the fence of his house, seemingly preparing to go into the mountain late at night to find the lost child. Kellnan also sneezed as they passed by, attracting the attention of a group of men and women. He had a coldβ
There was only one bed in Kellnan's house, and Zhou Shu stepped on the same ground as the outside when he returned to the house, and wiped Zi back into his clothes. Then he took out the reward he had promised to give to the master here.
As soon as Kernan entered, he was attacked by a small bag containing gold coins.
Zhou Shu had killed people because of giving money before, but now he has eaten a trench and grown wise, and he actually only has five gold coins in his pocket. Kernan grabbed the bag from the air, a little upset. He could feel the number of coins inside. When he opened it, he found that it was a gold coin, and he was even more upset.
"Is this real gold?"
Zhou Shu was helpless, "You won't test whether it's true or not?"
"I'm not your rich Southerner, and I even have a golden portkey. β
Kellnan had never seen gold, let alone the kind of gold coin that Zhou Shu had taken out.
"Anyway, how do you exchange this coin and the full moon for huΓ n?"
"I can't redeem huΓ n. Zhou Shu spread his hands, "This is my family's money, you can just treat it as ordinary gold." β
"So if this is real gold, you won't lie to me, will you? β
Zhou Shu looked at Kernan who was standing at the door with his bare ass and didn't know how to cover it, and really admired this guy's hatred of the Baiyue region. In order to keep the kid from being verbose, he said that he would accompany Kernan to the merchant tomorrow to exchange huΓ n silver coins, but Kernan would have to help him too.
"How can you help?" the pretty boy tried to bite the gold coin, feeling a malleability that he couldn't experience from other metals.
"It's nothing, I'm going to walk around the city tomorrow, and I'd like to ask you to be your guide. β
"What about your messenger work?"
"I'll do it the day after tomorrow. β
"Where's the pay?" said Kyrnan, who loved money to death.
Zhou Shu was also helpless, in order not to let this guy talk more, he took out the small amount of full moon coins on his body, these were still the change from the gray witch, and the amount was not much because he didn't use it much.
Kairnan also agreed with this currency with a higher reputation, and for the first time after grabbing the money, he showed a happy expression, as if someone owed him money.
Zhou Shuxu's payment to Kairnan was not fully paid. "There's also the reinforcement thing. He reminded.
To be honest, due to the trouble caused by Yang Xi's strengthening as a lesson from the past, Zhou Shu was not very affectionate to help people strengthen. In case the kid in front of him thinks that he can defeat Zi after getting strengthened, and then shoots at Zi. The scene was awkward.
"Before strengthening......" Zhou Shu pointed to Kernan who was showing off a small piece of fresh meat, "You put on your clothes first, and there are still things to talk about strengthening." β
As a giver of power and a power dealer who has the absolute initiative, Master Zhou said that he needs to make sure that Kelnan will not act indiscriminately after taking the power to help him strengthen it.
"It's not the same as it was said to be!!" Kellnan protested.
Zhou Shu stood cheekily in the middle of the empty room and smirked. "This is the world of adults. β
"Only you despicable Southerners do!" Kernan grumbled, finding a clean change of clothes to put on.
"Tell me, what are you going to do if you want me to help you strengthen it?
Zhou Shu never denied that Zi was a hypocrite, and true kindness was too tiring, at least for him. He has always believed that the so-called goodness is only character, and good deeds are only part of self-satisfaction. No one will insist on doing good deeds under the qingkuang who is very unhappy after doing good deeds, and those who can persevere in doing good deeds can get haochu from it without exception. Hypocritical philanthropists can benefit from the image of a good person who manages zi. A true do-good person gets spiritual satisfaction from helping others, and this is technically a transaction.
Zhou Shu, who was afraid of trouble, couldn't do good things all the time, one day he was very lazy and didn't want to move, even if he saw someone killed in front of him, he wouldn't help. When he eats and wants to exercise, he may also help the pleasing thief pick the door and press the lock.
Everyone has a bottom line for zi, and Zhou Shu doesn't think Zi discriminates against those guys who cross the door of murder. Because then it would be the same ZI outside the door. In the same way, he will not joke with people's lives because he wants to exercise after eating, this is the bottom line.
"Say it. Even if you say that you want to get the power to do a big vote, I will keep my promise to help you strengthen, as long as you don't lie to me. If I find out if you tell a lie, I'll definitely regret it!"
Kyernan snorted disdainfully, and then circled around the room very preciously, as if trying to find a place to hide the money.
"Wouldn't it be nice to hide under the futon. β
Kellnan probably hasn't hidden anything in his life. I haven't seen anyone hiding anything. After receiving this unconstructive suggestion, he also accepted it with a happy face, and then still according to the usual practice, he said, 'You southerners are really talented in doing such sneaky things'.
"It's just a matter of hiding money, so it's sneaky. I see that the security of your Haiyuan City is also average, and valuable things have to be hidden. β
Kellnan heard Zhou Shu say that Zi's city was not good. Not at all convinced. "Who said we don't have good security here? β
Master Zhou spread his hands, "As an outsider who was robbed by a group of children as soon as he entered the city, I feel that I have more say than you in this regard." β
"You're special qingkuang. "Baby Kellnan laid the coins under the mattress. "What you're wearing looks like you're from White Moon City, and your clothes are embroidered with the pattern of the moon. Even if I don't rob you, as long as you get out of the South District, someone else will find you in trouble. β
Zhou Shu judged the direction a little in his mind, and found that Zi entered from the city gate south of this Haiyuan City. He had been looking at the city's magnificent walls before, and when he was in Crescent Harbor, the city gate was not as grand as the mall gate.
Hearing the xenophobic topic exposed by Kernan, Zhou Shu, as an outsider, also sat unceremoniously in the only place in the house that could be used to sit, Kernan's bed.
"It's because of xenophobia that you Haiyuan City are so poor. I haven't heard of anyone starving in any other part of the White Moon Country. β
Since ancient times, all xenophobic nationalities, religions and countries have lived below the average level of material civilization in the world. The more open it is, the more prosperous it is. Although this sentence may be criticized and refuted from many angles, it is true. Whether it's North Korea, which is closed and about to coup d'Γ©tat, or Muslims, who are known for their exclusion, they could have a better life, as long as they change their way of thinking.
Zhou Shu was a little eager to start the preaching mode, which was rare, and Kernan, who liked to talk back, gave him this opportunity.
"Won't you starve outside of Kaihara Castle?" "Kernan seemed to have heard some big joke, "I didn't expect a martial artist to say such a ridiculous thing." Just because you have the money to hire someone to wipe your back in the shower with gold coins. Besides, what does it matter whether our Haiyuan City is rich or not and hate you southerners!"
"Where is this ...... hate southerners" Zhou Shu, who was almost killed, was also powerless to complain. He told the child in front of him a little about the importance of trade, and told him how worthless the grain in the rest of the White Moon Country was, but naturally the other party completely denied it.
Kelnan could not understand economic theory at a young age, and he had never seen the world outside the North Sea region. It's hard to convince him.
Zhou Shu also found that Zi was off topic as he spoke, so he returned to the topic and asked him what he wanted to do with the enhancement moves.
"Hmph, if you can't say that, I'll change the subject. At this time, Kernan made Zhou Shu grit his teeth in annoyance, but he still answered the question well. "I'm the king of the southern district of this Haiyuan city, and the eastern district has been very restless recently, and I want to jiaoxun them. β
"The King of the Southern District?" Zhou Shu also heard a place that could be used to make fun of Kyrnan. He looked around the room exaggeratedly, and then called out "King?" in a very serious way.
He knew that the so-called king of the southern district should be the play house of these children in the city. His child has never watched a Hong Kong movie. I don't know if the boss of a street is going to be called 'carrying the handle'. Due to his limited vocabulary, he also called himself king.
Kernan was also blushing when he was ridiculed by Zhou Shu like this.
"If the gold is real, I'll be able to add something to my house tomorrow. β
Zhou Shu nodded with a smile and asked, "Then what do you want to add to the castle?" When Zhou Shu sent Yang Xi away a few days ago, he asked her to resist a set of decorative armor by the corridor.
"Less, less wordy!" Kellnan was completely at a disadvantage for the first time before the week's letter, trying to change the subject. "The Queen of the East Side has been making too many small moves lately, and has been using money to buy off my men. So I want to step it up. Kill a few martial guards around her to make her restrain herself. β
Zhou Shu didn't take it seriously when he heard the word 'queen'. After hearing the words of the warrior guard, he realized that qingkuang was wrong and frowned.
"Aren't you children playing at home, how can there be warriors in it?"
"Who said that I was a child, I am thirteen years old!" Kyrnan Fen's age revealed that Zi was also one or two years older than Zhou Shu expected.
"What about the queen, how old is it?" Master Zhou suspected that the guy would not be an adult, right?
As a result, Kyrnanbi drew a white moon country to calculate the number of packing, the number twelve.
"Ashier, she is younger than me, and she will be twelve years old by the end of this month. β
"Wait......" Zhou Shu seemed to hear a familiar name. "What did you call that queen?"
"Ash, but she is a stupid woman who thinks Zi can be lawless because she has some money in her family. Kyrnan explained.
Zhou Shu's purpose in coming to this Haiyuan City was to bring a pair of children of the Duke of Beihai back to Baiyue City, so as to force the Grand Duke of Beihai to rebel, so that the sick princess would have a reason to clean him up. Among the twelve-year-old children of the Grand Duke of Beihai, the girl's name is Ai Shi'er.
"The man you're talking about. It can't be the Duke's daughter, right?"
Hearing this question, Kernan took out his disdainful eyes and stared at Zhou Shu, "Does the Duke have a daughter?"
"What?!" Zhou Shu said a sentence in Chinese to express shock, and then asked in disbelief in lingua franca, "You mean that the Duke of Beihai has no daughter?"
"Yes, he only has one son, who seems to be about my age. Are you really a messenger, and why do you think that the Duke has a daughter? β
"What does her house do?"
"I don't know, it's not very clear. β
"Who are her parents?"
Kernan then shook his head.
"Then why did she invite a warrior to be a guard? Do you think the average rich person has this ability?"
That's why I said she wasn't just rich. Tomorrow I'm going to exchange your useless gold coins for a full moon, and I'll have to go to her, her goldsmith's shop is a good deal. β
Lord Zhou had heard before that in order to solve the problem of inheritance, many nobles would only have one child. If twins are accidentally born, one of them must be given up in the people.
This kind of setting of chuxian in Western fairy tales seems to be somewhat similar to the current qingkuang. Perhaps the Duke of Beihai really did this, but he couldn't fool the Flanders royal family.
Zhou Shu knew that Zi's business trip was not so easy. If the Duke of Beihai would rather die than admit that Zi has a daughter, Zhou Shu really doesn't know what to do. He decided to wait until dawn to ask his eldest lady.
Kellnan went on to talk about some of his zi, which was to justify the title of 'king'.
He is nothing more than the child king of Nancheng District. In the past few years, there have been several large-scale natural disasters in the Beihai region, which have led to many plague epidemics, which have caused many children to lose their parents and become orphans, and Kairnan is one of them. During the disaster, many displaced people came to Beihai Cheng and settled outside the city. Now there are a large number of orphans inside and outside the city, and Kernan, who has a high military value, is the eldest of the orphans in the poorest area of Nancheng District.
Similarly, that Ashler is the boss of Dongcheng District, known as the Queen.
Zhou Shu knew that this was a matter of some children's housekeeping, and Kelnan only won the title of king this year, and he also started to play the trick of killing people and overselling goods against the visitors of Baiyue Country from today, but he never succeeded. Usually he organizes some petty theft in the city, specializing in stealing metal and selling it to blacksmiths, doing things that children born in the 80s did, going to construction sites to steal steel bars or something.
