Book 757 Wounded Snake Bird
Snake Bird.!x. The name of the girl Zhou Shu exchanged for a pack of pistachios is Snake Bird, which is as strange as the names of other civilians on this continent. She is a girl who looks pleasing to the eye in Zhou Shu, and her freckles are also very cute. Zhou Shu felt that he was probably born to like small things, of course, there are some aspects that he also likes big things, but he is not exclusive to small things.
In the face of the snake bird, who had eaten a lot of pistachios and finally seemed to have some strength, he also took the initiative to bully it, forced it against the wall, and lifted one of her legs.
Just when he wanted to complete the transaction between the two parties, the sixth sense suddenly called the police and scared him away.
"It's weird, it's weird again......"
The sixth sense of the warrior seems to have always gone wrong after arriving in this country, and he had a premonition of 'an important woman in his life', which will inexplicably erupt into an inexplicable heavy alarm. Glancing at the Book of Summoning, there was nothing around, the only pseudo-divine envoy was a monkey guardian spirit left behind in his own army, Zhou Shu had not seen this guy yet.
"No, I have to go, I always feel like it's not safe here. β
The snake bird looked around in a panic, "There may be some little hooligans here occasionally, but some are not very safe." She was looking for this place, and she would be very apologetic, "Yes, I'm sorry, I messed it up......"
"It's fine. Zhou Shu rarely blames such a weak girl, "Anyway, you gave me the address, I'll come to you again tomorrow." I owe it today, and you will pay it back to me tomorrow. β
Snake Bird didn't seem to have been in the health care industry for long, and when she heard this, she lowered her head shyly, which was in stark contrast to the neat Cheng dΓΉ of her dress.
Zhou Shu felt a little itchy when he looked at such a girl, but the alarm was still there, so he had to leave temporarily.
For the little rascals, he has always stayed away. This physique, which is easily attracted to the little rascals, has caused him a lot of trouble. Recently, it seems that some properties have been developed that have made slave traders unlucky.
The next morning, Mr. Zhou was worried about the girl he bought with pistachios, and after eating some breakfast, he came out, holding a paper bag in his hand, which was a scone made in the kitchen, and the taste was very delicate. It's delicious.
Yesterday, the place agreed by the snake bird was a car dealership in Xicheng District, and now there is no one. The original owner of the car dealership left a few servants behind and fled before the city was broken. The servants were taken by the slave traders, and they were not known where to be sold.
Zhou Shu used a small packet of jerky as a price to find an idler to help him lead the way, but he was not late. Looking at the empty and intact car dealership, he sighed a little. It is really incomprehensible that such a good shop has been reduced to a place that can be used as a private meeting between men and women, and can only be explained as the ruthlessness of the war.
The snake bird will be in the hall behind the entrance of the car dealership. The hall floor was paved with stone slabs, and it was empty all around, and there were not even chairs. A girl stands in a light dress, giving the illusion of a girl singer who is about to give a voice on stage.
"Yo, here we go. Let's sing a song. β
Zhou Shu couldn't help but ridicule when he saw her fluttering long skirt.
The snake bird hurriedly waved his hand in a panic, "I can't sing, and I can't hum a tune." Really!!"
"Then I'll hum. Master Zhou was in a good mood and put the food in his hand on the ground casually. Humming the tune of the wedding march in his mouth, he stuck to the side of the snake bird with hairy hands and feet, and easily pulled off her clothes to make her naked.
As a result, as soon as the clothes fell to the ground, Zhou Shu heard something above his head. When I looked up, a large piece of the ceiling fell off and slapped down on the two of them.
Zhou Shu grabbed the snake bird and flashed. Unfortunately, he wasn't hit himself, but the snake bird hurt his arm. Scratched, bleeding a little.
"Hey. We seem to be a bit of a backlash. β
Zhou Shu helped the snake bird put on clothes and placed her in the corner without saying a word. She seemed frightened.
This little injury, it's not worth exposing the power of using jelly beans, mainly to explain that this thing is too troublesome. He only had a transactional relationship with the girl in front of him, and he didn't plan to be too considerate. Facing the wound, Zhou Shu untied the kettle around his waist, helped clean it, and then tore off one of his shirts and bandaged it simply, which was considered to be a good job.
The snake bird has red eyes and looks like it wants to cry.
"Sorry...... I messed up again......" Apparently, she felt that she was responsible for the fact that the ceiling was smashed.
"Why, you're just out of luck. Probably the passing year is not good. "When he saw the girl crying, he also lost the mind of the master, although the 'money' had already been paid. "Let's have something to eat. Don't cry just yet. β
The two ate scones a little and chatted a little, but in fact, Zhou Shu unilaterally asked about the situation of the snake bird, which was considered to be speechless.
The snake bird's passing years don't seem to be very good, and on the day the city of Sunshine City broke, she was insulted by the soldiers, and it was a one-to-many one. When talking about this, Zhou Shu listened with interest and did not sympathize with him at all. In his opinion, it can be regarded as a great fate for this girl to live afterwards.
Not long after that, several elderly people in the snake bird family became ill. Their family members did not dare to speak out, fearing that the patient would be taken away by the army due to infectious diseases, so they have been secretly raising them at home.
The sick elderly were unable to receive their daily food, so their families had to bring back their modest rations for the sick to eat. The unlucky snake bird was snatched of food on the way home with food yesterday, so she didn't dare to go home, wandering on the road, and saw that Zhou Shu had extra food for the children, so she chased after her.
"You're the first time...... Do this kind of transaction?" Zhou Shu was a little happy, and his mood was like finding that the things he bought had only been used once when he was shopping for second-hand goods.
The snake bird nodded shyly, grabbed the hand of the man next to him, and touched his lower body.
"You've done it for the first time. Please start, I really want those ...... to eat."
Master Zhou looked at the girl's pitiful appearance, as well as her bleeding arm, and didn't intend to touch her at all. Although he is already very unrestrained in this regard, he still has a little bottom, for example, he has reached the bottom now.
"Oh, don't be full of lustful thoughts. Keep owing, and I'll make up for it when the injury on your arm heals. β
And just like that, the contact with the snake bird on the second day ended. Zhou Shu is a person who is not willing to suffer, although the comparison between real swords and real guns is not good. There are still hairy hands and feet. The slight resistance that Snake Bird looked at was very attractive, and it also proved that what she said was true, and she really didn't do these things with anyone else.
Two days later, Master Zhou went to see the snake bird again, only to find that she was limping. The injury on the arm was not healed, and the ankle was inexplicably sprained.
Check it out for her. It's not too strict, but it's hard to fully recover without half a month of rest, and walking doesn't delay anything, and the posture is ugly.
"Otherwise, don't wander around these days, and take care of your foot injury. β
When Zhou Shu said this, he was pinching the snake bird's feet in his hand, which was regarded as helping her massage her feet. This girl doesn't seem to be in good shape, and many reflex areas will make her feel pain. Every time she pinched the sore spot, the expression on her face would be very subtle. Slightly frowning look.
For his mention, the snake bird was naturally not happy, "I...... Need your help...... Food ......"
"Okay, okay, then you can do it. The trading is still the same as before these days...... I owe it first. β
In this way, what seemed to be a very efficient transaction turned into a long-lasting unilateral funding. Zhou Shu is not in a hurry to treat other girls as well, and now she has to flirt, and she can watch and pinch casually. It's satisfying.
Soon after returning home, the snail kite, which had cured the waterfowl, was invited back by the members of the Justice Society. As a guest of honor, he set up a banquet and stayed overnight, and stayed for several days. However, she didn't know the identity of these guys who were eager to repay her, and thought it was a simple big family with a large population.
Plains Justice Enforcement Society, this organization still has some reputation in Sunshine City. Although there has been chaos during the reign of the duke, it occasionally gives money to the poor, and it has a very popular base. Nor did they get their money by robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Most of them come from running a mercenary business. They want to fight with enemy countries that have a common hatred and want to contribute to the country. In the country of Tono, there are many young people who have the same thoughts as them.
The Justice Society secretly manipulates several large local mercenary groups to send these young people who want to serve the country to the battlefield to make a profit.
After the capture of Nikko City. The mercenary trade was no longer possible, but the young people were still as easy to incite as ever, so they began to find ways to get the people of the West from the area.
They believed that as long as their side continued to kill soldiers, one day all enemy soldiers would become afraid to appear on the Sword Plain, and then they would succeed in retaking their homeland.
The snail kite has been eating and drinking well these days, the food is excellent, the bread and meat are very sufficient, and there are desserts to eat. On top of that, the bed was so comfortable that she didn't want to leave, and the blanket was as light as if it weren't there. At this time, she also discovered the necessity of a large airy room in the summer, even if the weather was hot, as long as the windows at both ends of the house were opened, a cool wind would blow.
The property tax in Higashinokuni is based on the method of calculating windows, which is also known as the window tax. A large house with more windows pays more taxes and less taxes if it has less. There are many windows in rich homes, and there can only be one like a snail kite, and you don't need to pay for one window and one door.
She was now lying in a large pavilion in the courtyard of a deep house, rolling on the carpeted floor, and the cool wind was constantly blowing over her, and the whole person was very happy.
The waterfowl that she saved her life had finally gotten better after a week's rest, and although his throat still hurt a little, it was fine. She has already made the kite her 'savior' and freed herself from her misery.
Justice will invite Snail Kite, mainly interested in the metal beetle on her body. Although they had seen the little thing exert strange powers many times, they still found it strange and wondered if it would be possible to use it.
The waterfowl would sit down next to the savior lying on her head and staring at the ceiling with a plate of baked biscuits, and with a smile she would grab a biscuit and put it on her lips, and the biscuit would be placed on it.
The lips of the snail kite are very full, like berries full of moisture, there is no fruit stored in Nikko City now, after all, the military control, and it is a very strict kind, no one will be allowed to leave Xicheng District, so many materials cannot be replenished, such as fruits. The Society of Justice had sugar and wheat in their secret cellars in the city, which they could make zuΓ² biscuits, the only snacks they could get their hands on right now.
Snail Kite grows its mouth with a smile and lets the biscuit on its lips fall into its mouth. Gulping and chewing, the waterfowl stared at their 'savior' with a smile on their faces, their expressions sweet.
All along, Snail Kite felt that he might not marry anyone in his life, but who he would marry back. She is now very satisfied with this sick name called water bird, well-behaved and obedient and always gives herself food. She is a perfect woman.
When the waterfowl saw that there were crumbs of biscuits on the snail kite's face, they also blushed and pinched it with their white fingertips and put it in their mouths.
"You can eat large pieces if you want to eat them, and I didn't say I wanted to have them exclusively. "The snail kite said this very 'generously'. The water fowl kept its head down, blushing and not speaking.
Outside the house, the three young men who had originally invited the snail kite were squatting on the ground in a pile, and their brains were a little bent.
"You say...... The woman who snails the kite...... Is it really a woman? It can't be a mistake, right?"
"I think it's weird, too, but it's right to be a woman......
"Yes, I asked the maid who served her life. She took a shower and undressed, revealing indeed a woman's body. β
The three young men wondered what was going on. They were puzzled by the fact that the waterfowl were sticking to the snail kite, and their eyebrows were full of spring.
There wasn't much time left for them to chat in the yard next door to the girl, and before they could discuss more about the situation, they were called away, saying that there was another action in the organization. Plans for implementation are being discussed.
The plaything lost his mind, after getting to know the snake bird. Zhou Shu was busy making fun of this silly girl, and he didn't do anything serious, and even the Dinglan cultivation of the young eagle was missed by him.
It's been a week since the cute snake bird appeared, and she has already owed Zhou Shu six transactions, one of which Zhou Shu was busy going home to deal with Lu Xiaoshuang and Tiddlelem and didn't run out to find her. In the past two days, her ankle sprain has improved slightly. Zhou Shu decided to take her around, which was considered to be a rehabilitation training. The snake bird was very resistant, but was still forcibly pulled out of the empty car dealership.
It's almost September, and the Plains of the Sword Blade won't cool down until the end of October. Walking on the street, Zhou Shu's mobile phone rang. It's a call from the sick princess.
Normally, the sick princess would not call at this time.
Removing the translator, Zhou Shu hugged the snake bird with one hand, and grabbed the phone with the other hand and talked to the sick princess with a big grin. He is still an outsider in this country, and the same is true in his dress, and it is normal to speak a foreign language, but it is a little strange to say it to the air.
The snake bird looked up at the man next to her with a curious expression, she was sure that she heard the woman's voice, the volume was small but real.
The sick princess actually came to share Xile, she just received a message from the Border Defeated City, saying that the magicians' cannons were ready for mass production. This means that the ability of the defeated city to defend the city will get a qualitative leap.
The country of the forest has been moving a lot lately, but compared to the big event of tearing up the treaty with them for a short time, the mess they caused on the border is really nothing.
Princess Fuhu has now gone to the battlefield, but she took the initiative to attack the enemy, and the enemy naturally had no choice but to retreat.
With the exception of the cannons powered by magic arrays, the glassmakers were finally able to make glass that was in line with the standard. The sick princess has not thought about anything else for more than a year, and has always wanted to make glass a mass commodity, and now she is finally about to succeed.
And she also followed Zhou Shu's bad idea, scattering the glass making method to the people, not competing with the people.
Regarding the good news of the sick princess, Zhou Shu expressed a lack of interest, but he understood the reason why she was so happy. Putting aside the matter of artillery for the time being, as far as the glass problem is concerned, the new home of the Gray Palace can finally be replaced with glass windows, and it will become brighter. Say goodbye to the smell of candles.
The snake bird watched Zhou Shu talk to the side, and then watched him put a strange shiny board back into his pocket, not hiding his curious gaze at all.
Zhou Shu looked at this little girl who didn't know her, patted her back, and found a shade to rest. Rehabilitation training is not a race walking competition, just take two steps.
After a few days of contact, Zhou Shu was sure that Snake Bird was not a person who liked to ask questions, and Snake Bird didn't ask too much about the food he took out and the face of his exotic person.
Today's snake bird seems to be a little different, Zhou Shu found that she kept looking at the place where she had her mobile phone, and she had pockets in her clothes. I look very interested.
He didn't mind giving her his phone to play with, the two had become very familiar with each other for a few days, and the well-behaved nature of the snake bird was still very reassuring.
took out the phone and put on a tune, pure music, Zhou Shu saw the snake bird staring at the board that made a sound with bright eyes.
The snake bird did not speak. Didn't make a sound, and even held his breath not to let the sound of breathing disturb the music.
Zhou Shu didn't know what the Maozi music that came with this mobile phone was, and he didn't hear the piano, so it was probably a symphony of a non-piano concerto and a piano sonata.
He only knew a little bit about classical music in some novels, such as a certain old Japanese writer who kept adding high-pressure classical music to his new novels at the request of the editor. Zhou Shu really checked the niche music mentioned in the novel, and it was really very high, so high that he, a music layman, could not find the corresponding tune when he knew the name.
After listening to the song, the snake bird directly plunged into Zhou Shu's arms. Said he still wanted to hear it. This move was somewhat surprising.
In the 'transaction' of the snake bird, except for the bold removal of the dress when they first met, and successfully attracted Zhou Shu and his food, most of the time they resisted the contact between men and women, and rarely took the initiative to attack.
At the request, Master Zhou casually put another song, anyway, it was all in Russian, and he didn't know which one was which. Feel free to click on it.
This time it's a song sung by Mao Mei. Zhou Shu likes Mao Mei very much, and he also likes the voice of Mao Mei who sings this song. It seems that the same goes for snake birds. After listening to a few paragraphs, she hummed along.
"Isn't that a nice hum? Why do you still say that you sing out of tune. Zhou Shu smiled and hugged the girl's waist.
The two returned to the empty car dealership at lunchtime, and then listened to music all afternoon around their phones. Zhou Shu tried to get the snake bird to pay the bill, but she resisted and kicked her injured ankle around. Master Zhou was worried that she would hurt herself again, so he decisively followed her. Continue to owe.
In fact, he had already discovered that the snake bird should have seen that he was easy to talk and bully, so he deliberately sprained his foot, wanting to get food while keeping his innocence.
Zhou Shu said that it didn't matter, even if she hurt herself after the sprain was healed. Zhou Shu will still accommodate her. The reason is very simple, the military management will end after two days, and then others can find ways to make a living, and she, a little bird, will stay with Zhou Shu to pay off the debts of the past few days. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't escape, after all, a deal is a deal.
It was another big night before returning to the castle, and they were quite angry at Zhou Shu, the city lord, who couldn't see people all day, Baiyu and the local officers.
The officer sent by Tiddlele to assist Count Zhoushu had been waiting in the castle all day, and he had brought some news.
"Listen, hurry up, I'll have something to do in a while. β
Zhou Shu came back from the snake bird and wanted to play with Nati.
"Lord Earl, it seems that we should finish off the officers later, or at least further break up the rebels." β
In this regard, Zhou Shu waved his hand and said that there was no need.
"Keeping the rebels in prison with a bunch of disgruntled civilians will only strengthen them. Civilians can be converted into rebels, but we should focus on civilians and prevent them from being converted. β
"How?" the officer clawed his head, curious.
"Give them money quilts. If you have money, your life is good, and there is hope, who is idle and has nothing to do to be a soldier and cannon fodder for others?"
"Money?" the officer was tempted to dig out his empty pockets, indicating that he was already on the verge of reversing poverty. There was no oil or water to be fished in this shabby place of Sunshine City, and the Earl did not allow them to trade slaves and horses without permission, so they did not make any money at all.
In this regard, Master Zhou has already paid some attention, and is now waiting for Baiyu's work. She has been very busy these days, and she has been preparing for the situation after the end of the military administration.
The officer realized that he could not understand the wise Earl, so he moved on to another topic.
"Lord Earl, we have received news that the rebels are preparing to organize a new attack. β
"Huh, how do you know?"
"We have spies infiltrating us, people from the original town defenders. Due to the recent sudden and inexplicable disappearance of the top leaders of the rebel group, the status of the spies has been improved, and they have more or less access to the information about the attack in advance. β
Zhou Shu nodded, indicating that he understood. He doesn't bother to care about this kind of thing, just let the soldiers defend themselves, he can't protect those troops. For the rebels who don't know each other, Zhou Shu really wants to eradicate them, and the existence of these guys will destroy the business environment of Sunshine City, which he doesn't want to see. (To be continued......)
