794 Book The Battle Bride
Doing a little business during the journey is a must in the life of a traveler. In the country of Tono, the meaning of travel itself is not to move or to work, and the journey that comes from playing is not a zΓ i.
Ouna always thinks that she has caused Sparrow to lose her wallet, so she decides to change her plans and protect her to continue her journey until she finds the king. This is also to seek a way out for herself, who also lost her wallet, so that she can hug the lap of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and her life will be settled.
Zhou Shu, as the sponsor of the two's trip, also spent a lot of effort to get Quexi to allow him to go with him. He ended his two-week solo battle, and once again had a girl by his side.
For the two people, Quexi and Ou Na, Zhou Shu felt that he knew a lot about them. Anyway, after following them for so long, there is still such a little gain.
At this moment, Master Zhou's understanding of Ou Na has been updated in a new version.
He originally thought that this guy was just a very ordinary good old man, with principles and bottom lines, and the kind of kind people who treated people kindly. He found many good qualities in Ou Na, and he appreciated them very much.
Delivering letters was the only job Ouna found on this trip, and it paid very well, and she had already been paid for the two silver coins and had lost them.
After confessing that she had read the Mad Bride's letter, she deduced that the Mad Bride had not received the letter at all.
"If she had seen the letter, she wouldn't have cursed a dead man, would she? It was written with emotion, and I think that if I were a mad bride, I would probably forgive the maid who had died of illness after reading it, and deserve her due retribution. β
Sparrow said this, but the topic was not yet on topic.
Ou Na pinched her smooth chin with a stern face, and reasoned: "That is to say." The mad bride's letter was intercepted by the maid, was it? Why did it have anything to do with the criminal plans I heard?"
"I don't know......," she said, glancing at the mansion next door, "If it's true, I'm guessing that the maid now probably doesn't want the mad bride to be normal." Her horrible appearance now stems from hatred. If the source of this hatred dies, she may gradually return to her normal life......"
"She's normal after that. That home is likely to come out of its decline, and there will be more guards in the courtyard, so it will be easier to rob it?" Ou Na reasoned.
"Perhaps. β
Zhou Shu watched the two little girls guessing over there, not knowing what the two wanted to do. He felt that these two guys were really very compatible, and if the snail kite and the water bird complemented each other in temperament, the two at this time were probably like-minded and like-minded.
It's a pleasure to quietly watch the two of them communicate, and it feels like watching the cutscenes of an RPG game, with well-made graphics and characters.
Ouna hesitated for a moment. Said a rather responsible sentence.
"Whatever the intentions of the maid who withheld the letter, I took the scruffy man's silver coin, and as a messenger, it was necessary for his letter to reach the terrible bride!"
Zhou Shu and Quexi listened to her speech and applauded on the side. The two of them thought Ou Na was very handsome at this time, "But what are you going to do?" they poured cold water on them at the same time after they finished clapping.
Ou Na can't even get in now, so it seems that there is only one way to climb over the wall and enter the hospital, grab the maid and beat her to force her to admit it.
"Just do it!
The simplest attention is always the best, and Fincy and Zhou Shu support Ou Na's actions and choose to cheer her on behind her.
"Wait. Remembering the robbers that might happen tonight, "What are the robbers going to do?"
"Give the letter to the terrible bride. She'll trust us, right? β
"That's right. Sparrow nodded and waved at Ou Na, "Have a nice trip." Good luck. βββ
As a swordsman, Ou Na's combat power has not yet been taught.
However, judging from the fact that she almost caught up with two thieves in a strange city before, her leg strength should still be okay.
Zhou Shu believed in the judgment of his summoning book, Ou Na was an ordinary person with a hundred summoning points, lower than the average resident of the White Moon Country, basically the same as the ordinary people in his hometown who were harmed by the magician's magic absorption device.
With such summon points, I'm afraid it won't have any physical ability.
'Maybe she's good at swordsmanship?'
Zhou Shu had a diploma from the non-commissioned officer school and studied there for a long time. Bai Yueguo doesn't pay attention to skills, and skills are in front of physical ability. The speed of a warrior with strengthened upper limbs does not give the opponent a chance to show off his skills. If it's a competition of the same level, maybe skill will be included. However, the impact is not very large.
The only sword-related skills that Master Zhou has learned so far is that sword flower, and he has learned half of it from the sick princess. I learned the other half with the young eagle, but I still didn't play much. Other than that, he had no study of swordsmanship.
Seeing Ou Na sneaking close to the courtyard wall of the mansion and turning over and jumping in, Zhou Shu suddenly felt some strange atmosphere. Looking around, the little princess Qixi was cowering to the side with an uneasy face, far away from Zhou Shu, looking very afraid of him.
"............" Master Zhou was speechless.
Que Xi didn't communicate much with Ou Na with Zhou Shu, but simply regarded him as a Kaizi with money and a car, who could fund his own trip. They have already achieved their goals, so there is no need to have further communication with Zhou Shu.
At this time, Quexi also found that after Ou Na left, she seemed to be in a state of solitude with this strange exotic male infidel, which seemed to be very dangerous.
"Don't worry...... I'm a good person......"
Zhou Shu really didn't know how to communicate with this little girl, and he refuted himself very weakly, obviously this didn't have any effect, and Quexi still put on a vigilant appearance on the side.
"Don't do that, we're going to travel together for a long time, in the same carriage. You're so resistant to coming into contact with me, isn't it going to be a lot of trouble on the road?"
When she heard this, she felt justified. Nodding.
"Mr. Missionary, please give me some time to get used to it, and I hope you will bear with me if you are rude. β
"Okay, okay. But you'd better get used to it quickly. It would be helpful if you could talk to me a little more. β
"Hmmm......"
Quexi agrees with Zhou Shu's statement. Since you regard him as a companion, you should not resist him so much. But Quexi couldn't control his mood.
Zhou Shu still cowered when he saw Quexi there, so he took the initiative to stir up the topic, hoping to get acquainted with him by chatting with GuΓ².
"One strange thing comes to mind, how long has that crazy bride been crazy?"
"At the beginning of the year, she was repented of her marriage and divorced, so it must have been strange since then, right? I don't think she's crazy, maybe she's just angry." β
"Does being angry make people wear the same dress for most of the year?" or a wedding dress?" Zhou Shu sighed. "Since the mad bride was in such a state at the beginning of the year, and the mansion was not guarded, why was she able to survive in this city with bad security?
"That's right!"
After saying this, Fincy also felt that there was something unreasonable.
"Could it be that there are actually bodyguards living in that house?"
As soon as she said this, on the side of the mansion next door, Ou Na came out of the wall in a panic, and the wolf ran towards this side, and the running speed startled Zhou Shu.
"Run!"
She waved at Zhou Shu and Quexi and told the two to leave quickly. The two didn't know what was going on, so they had to do as she was told. It's a pity for the running speed of Sparrow. It's just a little bit faster than walking. Zhou Shuqian followed her and ran slowly over there.
"Why are you two so slow!" Ou Nafei passed past the two of them, grabbing their hands and walking into an unfamiliar alley. It took a long time to stop.
"What's going on?"
After stopping, Quexi gasped tiredly and asked about the situation. Ouna rolled up her sleeves, revealing a bruise on her arm, obvious from just made.
"That crazy bride's all-round name is probably true...... I can't beat her ......"-
Ou Na, who had just climbed over the wall and entered the hospital, happened to see the maid who was busy in the yard, and the guy seemed to be secretly grinding herbs.
The herb Ou Na happened to know, the small yellow flowers and thick stalks, which are a kind of things that can make people sleep peacefully after taking it, called sweet sleep grass.
"I've been fed that kind of stuff before. Add it to the meat pie. As a result, I woke up at noon the next day with a stick stuck underneath. It's so swollen that I don't feel it. β
Zhou Shu and Que Xi slapped themselves in the face at the same time, "Can you stop talking about this kind of thing......
"I'm saying that thing has a lot of medicine. I didn't even wake up like that!!"
"And then?" Zhou Shu didn't plan to talk about such a pitiful thing with this 'experienced' guy, "Your psychological shadow was stung by the sweet sleeping grass under the maid's hand, and then you were scared out of the wall?"
"How is that possible?!" Ou Na dodged her feet, "I was covered in injuries all over the bottom, and I needed to use sweet sleeping grass to help me sleep for a whole week, or I couldn't sleep in pain at all." I'm not afraid of that thing. Besides, don't you see the wound on my arm?"
Ou Na saw the maid secretly grinding medicine, and according to her personal experience, she instinctively thought that this woman wanted to use this medicine to harm people, and the target should be the crazy bride, so she would run so far away from the mansion to do this kind of thing.
When the maid saw someone coming in over the wall, with a sword hanging from behind her buttocks, she immediately ran towards the mansion, shouting for help.
Ou Na naturally chased after her, and chased her until she reached the edge of the mansion before catching the maid. But the maid's shouts brought out the mad bride, who had a parasol in her hand and beat Ou Na.
"I can't beat that crazy woman, she's so good. I saw her holding a parasol three meters outside of me and raising her hand, but she couldn't hit it at all. But when her hand fell, the distance between me and her was instantly narrowed by her pace, and the parasol hit my arm. If she had used a sword, I would have lost an arm!"
Zhou Shu knew that Ou Na was a parallel commodity and had no combat effectiveness.
"Alright, now the puzzle is solved. He looked at Sparrow on the side, and the two were still talking about why the mad bride had been able to live unprotected until now. It turns out that she herself is a powerful fighting force, and ordinary thieves can't help her at all.
Quexi also reasoned very well: "That's why the maid needs to make sweet sleeping grass, she wants to make the crazy bride unconscious." This also explains why she hid our letters. She is in a gang with several robbers she encounters, lurking in the house to take the trust of the mad bride. Plotting her wealth!"
Zhou Shu finally fulfilled his detective dream today, although he himself is not interested in detective novels, at most he just follows Yang Xi to casually watch some Japanese reasoning, classical reasoning and golden age things, and his understanding only stays at Cheng dΓΉ, who matches the title of the book with the author. However, he is still very interested in the profession of detective, which seems to be a free and exciting job, and it is very compulsive.
Ou Na, who was beaten, escaped by her own running speed, and the bride was wearing a cumbersome wedding dress, so she couldn't run fast at all. And Ou Na Yan zhΓ²ng suspicion. If the woman was given lighter clothes, she could break her arm directly with an umbrella.
Ou Na was injured in her left hand, because the mad bride's dominant hand was her right hand. Ou Na's dominant hand is also her right hand, so her combat effectiveness with the sword is not impaired.
"We'll be back in the evening!"
Ou Na said this, looking unwilling.
She had already decided to protect the mad bride who had taken her a beating, and said that she would not be harmed by anyone.
After Ou Na said this, Que Xi and Zhou Shu looked at her with an appreciative look at her at the same time, "Ou Na, you are really a good person, you have to help others when you are beaten." And it's someone I've never met. β
Ouna shrugged her shoulders, "There aren't many good people anymore, so please cherish me." Actually, I went for the face of the silver coin. If only that rich madman would be willing to pay for my rescue. β
As soon as these words came out, Master Zhou chuckled in his heart. He felt a sense of crisis, and if this was the case, then he would probably be excluded from the journey as a patron, which he definitely didn't want to see.
But after thinking about it, Zhou Shu suddenly found that he didn't seem to need to go all the way with these two women at all, he just needed to give them enough money and let them hurry up and find the king quickly. You don't have to hang out with them.
Ou Na glanced at Zhou Shu, who was stunned, and stabbed him with a sword.
"Hey. Missionary. You're a man, so come with me tonight to take up arms and protect that terrible bride. β
Zhou Shu nodded. said that there was no problem, but Ou Na changed her words.
"Forget it, look at the few steps you ran just now, you haven't run as fast as Quexi, Bai has grown such a big figure, it's useless at all. I'll go alone!"
Zhou Shu blinked, it was the first time he had been so underestimated.
"I'm very good, don't underestimate me. β
Ou Na smiled and kicked a stick on the side of the road and threw it into Zhou Shu's hand, "Then you can prove it to me, if you can beat me, I will give it to you tonight." β
Quexi really couldn't hear such words, and kicked Ou Na hard, "Can you stop making jokes like this all the time!"
"I'm serious. Ou Na pointed at Zhou Shu with her chin, "You see the way he holds a stick, he doesn't know how to use a sword at all." β
"I don't understand. Zhou Shu threw the stick on the ground and stared at the female swordsman in front of him with a smile.
He was still hesitating just now, whether to simply withdraw from these two women, and now after being teased by Ou Na, he also made up his mind to follow them whatever he said.
It's not the first time Ou Na has teased Zhou Shu, either she wants to eat and drink or get some money. For this woman who is good at using her natural resources, Master Zhou decided to find a chance to teach her a lesson and add some content to her unlucky 'experience' -
Ou Na decided to act on her own at night, not letting Zhou Shu and Qixi, the two guys who were dragging their feet, follow.
The opponents are four strong men, who may carry weapons. She had seen these people before, and she was sure that these guys had no combat effectiveness, they were just a bunch of idlers, and she was very sure that she could handle it.
Zhou Shu and Quexi were quite uneasy about her, and Quexi had no other good way but to go with her. As for Zhou Shu......
"Since you insist on going, then I can only pray to my God for you. He said this in the tone of a missionary, and then lied that he had something to do, and asked the two girls to go back to the Traveler's Guild first. Said that he would go back later. With that, he threw out another silver coin seized from the little rascal and told the two girls to buy some snacks on the way.
Ou Na is very happy to have something to eat. Quexi also didn't like to have a man by her side, so the two waved goodbye to Zhou Shu very happily.
Master Zhou has now decided that he wants to go on the road with these two women. It's a rare waywardness. To get there, he has to make sure that Ouna doesn't make money from the mad bride, and he needs to make those two women poor.
So, he turned a corner in the alley and disappeared, and a few minutes later appeared in the mad bride's mansion, broke open a wooden window and got in.
He was going to settle things before Ou Na showed up, so he just came in.
The house looked wolf-like from the outside, crawling with vines for food. No one has fixed the yard, and it's almost time to raise rabbits.
Master Zhou casually conjured up more than a dozen rabbits, both male and female, with different breeds, and threw them into the yard to see if they could breed, and then crept around the big house, trying to find the maid first.
His ears soon heard the sound of kitchen knives cutting on the cutting board, someone in the kitchen cooking, presumably a maid.
The kitchen is naturally on the first floor, and Zhou Shu tried very hard to confirm it with his ears. The mad bride seemed to be pacing back and forth in a room on the second floor, and there was no one else in the room, so he slipped generously to the kitchen. Appeared in front of the bad maid.
"Hello and good afternoon. β
Zhou Shu smiled at the maid and waved his hand, looking like a friend who met by chance on the side of the road.
The maid saw a strange-looking man standing behind her, and shouted without saying a word, and the screaming decibel startled Zhou Shudu.
"You want to call your unlucky master?" Zhou Shu pointed to the food that was being baked in the oven, "Aren't you afraid that she will find out about the sweet sleeping grass?"
As soon as these words came out, the maid immediately shut up and looked frightened.
It was too late for her to shut up. The voice of the crazy bride's platform shoes had already come, and Zhou Shu could hear it.
"You. What do you want to do!" The maid grabbed the kitchen knife and gestured to Zhou Shu, and the person shrank into the corner very weakly.
Master Zhou pursed his lips. "Take out the letter you withheld, and tell me that you had conspired with a stranger to murder your poor master, and I will make sure that you leave this house safely. β
"I, I don't know what you're talking about! You'd better get out of here! Wait for my mistress to come and you'll be beaten away!"
Zhou Shu smiled bitterly, it seems that all women today are looking down on themselves. He didn't prove his combat prowess to Ou Na, but it was still necessary for the maid in front of him to let her know about the situation.
Grabbing a frying pan in the kitchen, Zhou Shu gently kneaded the pan into pieces of broken iron and threw it on the ground.
"Don't worry, I'm not only strong, but I'm also so fast that it's absolutely impossible to be hurt by your poor master, so it's better for you to listen to me obediently. β
As soon as he finished saying this, Zhou Shu heard the footsteps of the crazy bride and was already very close to him. The maid's expression changed at this time, and she smiled at him, "Oh? I want to see if what you say is true." After saying this, she directly squatted on the ground with her head in her hands.
Master Zhou was still wondering, and suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing from the back of his neck, which made him turn around in a hurry, and he saw the crazy bride who was holding a parasol and flying over to chop over.
The woman's appearance was extremely terrifying, and her skills were as sensitive as a martial artist, and the most important thing was that she was full of momentum, Zhou Shu was shocked by her fierce eyes, her body stagnated slightly, and her head was hit by a solid parasol.
"Mistress, this man is a robber, run him away!!"
The maid held her head on the side and the wicked man sued first, and the mad bride saw that the blow failed to subdue the enemy, and decided not to leave her hand to stab the throat of the strange man in front of her.
Master Zhou was sobered up by this stick, and it was the first time he had met such a scary woman. Facing the tip of the parasol that stabbed him, he directly took it with the palm of his hand, and directly pinched the umbrella in his hand and snatched it away.
The mad bride has sword skills, but she doesn't have much strength. Zhou Shu could see that she probably had no way to use a real sword to perform such a skill, and could only use a relatively light parasol as a weapon.
In the face of such a madman, he didn't know how to subdue him. By this time, the mad bride had already thrown away her parasol and stabbed a fork in the kitchen to the eye of the man in front of her from the bottom up.
Zhou Shu's martial arts alarm sounded, and the scale was not small, which made him feel shocked, and he hurriedly dodged with all his strength and attacked with all his might. He was really worried that the gutter would capsize and be injured by the crazy bride. If the crazy bride in the novel, Miss Havisham, had this skill, Dickens who wrote "Great Expectations" would have an additional 'martial arts' label in the genre.
Zhou Shu dodged his attack, and his own attack also hit. Naturally, he would not use his fist against a woman, and the so-called attack was actually a gentle push against her. This push was also not well controlled, and he raised his hand and tore off a large piece of the breast of the crazy bride's wedding dress.
The wedding dress was also a little fragile, but a small piece of fabric fell off, and as a result, the whole dress was scattered all over the ground, and the bride with a fierce face became smooth in an instant, and the only fabric on her body was the white silk on her legs and the veil on her head.
There are no panties under the wedding dress of the East no Country.
Zhou Shu slapped himself on the head, this was the first time he had played with a woman to tear clothes, but the opponent was such a terrifying guy, and it was the wedding dress that was torn off......
It's too complicated. (To be continued)
