Chapter 50: Before the War
Cowardice, two hateful words. But some people have to accept it www.biquge.info like Monchi, who is now standing on the dock.
Maybe he never thought he would end up with such a description, but he had to admit that he had become more and more closely involved with it. His long hair covered his face, as if he didn't want anyone to see him.
When his life just entered a mess, he even naively thought that he could live with his head held high as before, but on the first day he lived in the donated house, life taught him a good lesson.
I thought that the awakening of the battle spirit was a turning point, but it turned to a more muddy place at this intersection. But until then he had not given in, and he gritted his teeth in the midst of bullying and humiliation, until Aaron appeared, maybe it was not any better, but at least it didn't get worse. Even after such compromise, fate refused to stop his self-righteous jokes.
Aaron fell, and experienced a humiliation that he could not let go of in his life. Then, he had to drag his body that was almost crushed by hunger to Seven Street, nodding at the mage who hated and even hated him in his heart, it was really difficult to do at first, but gradually he found that he had adapted to it, and even he would enjoy the hypocritical thanks of those mages.
This intense sense of shame made him so painful that in the end, he was numb enough to accept it. yes, so be it, admit it to him, he's a coward, and spend the rest of his disgusting life like this. He said this to himself.
But at this time, she appeared again, why could she always see him at his most embarrassed appearance?
No, this may be the last time he struggles in his life, and this time, he really can't compromise.
So he decided to leave this place, the place he once called home, and now, it was nothing more than his nightmare. He had to escape, even if he lived like a worm somewhere else, at least not under her nose.
yes, it's really cowardly to do that, so what?
"When will you board the ship?" said Monchi, the man who had received his two silver coins, and the ticket was already considered cheap.
"Preferably now. The well-dressed man said and walked ahead.
"Okay. Monchi followed.
"Aren't you afraid of water?" the man asked suddenly.
"No, sir. ”
"Yay. ”
After walking for a long time, Monchi still did not see the so-called ship. He sensed something was wrong and asked, "Sir, isn't your ship nearby?"
"Oh, me?" the man pointed to himself, "my boat, are you all right, boy, I'm just a water hauler!"
After realizing that he had been deceived, Meng Qi stopped and glared at the other party: "You!"
"Don't look at me like that," said the waterman, holding on to a barrel, "and I'll let you go inland if I take your money! Come on, get into your cabin. He patted the barrel beside him.
"What?" Monchi relaxed when he heard the promise, but he didn't understand what the other person was saying.
The man pushed the lid of the barrel open, and the inside of the barrel shimmered with water, "Go inside, trust me, it's not as bad as you think, at least you can take a bath." Hold on, you'll get out when you're out at sea. ”
Knowing that this might be the only way to go, Monchi stepped into the bucket and tried to crouch down to let some of the water spill out. His skinny figure was hidden here, and he really didn't feel crowded at all. "Why do we drain the water or find an empty bucket?"
"Fool, you're too light!" said the man, after cutting a small hole in the lid of the barrel with a sharp awl, handed him a wooden straw that he had asked for from the drink shop by the docks. "Do you see this hole? At first, you put up with it, and then breathe with it when there's no one. If the bucket falls down halfway through, remember to cover the hole so it doesn't leak too much water. ”
When Monchi was ready, the man sealed the lid. "Prepare yourself, think about what they will say when they find out that you have stolen aboard, and rest assured, I will find you a kind buyer." None of us are wicked people running to the sea, so we don't have to worry too much about being thrown into the sea. ”
The air in the barrel was indeed a little insufficient, and Monchi found the hole that the man had said, and breathed with a straw that was much smoother.
"Hey, man, do you have any water? Bring me nine buckets. Be the cleanest. A sound came from outside the barrel, and the straw was immediately pressed down by a hand, almost hurting Monchi's tongue.
"What are you talking about? Man, go to the docks and listen to it, who doesn't praise me for the cleanliness of my water?" Most of the merchants who make money are brilliant liars, "Man, it's so late, are you going out to sea to catch rock-shell crabs? That probably won't need so much water, maybe, five buckets will be enough." He asked, carrying the bucket.
"We're going to... Go inland. The guest replied.
"Is it inland?" a hand patted the barrel where Monchi was, "to go inland, then you really need to prepare some water." In this case, you buy one more barrel, buy ten barrels, and I'll give you another barrel. How?"
"Deal. ”
After the money and goods were cleared, the guest and his men carried away eleven buckets of water belonging to them in a cart, as well as a young passenger.
In the distance, the man waved at them, not knowing who he was saying goodbye to.
"Hey, what did you do to my water?!" was an exclamation from behind him.
Oh, so the fat man who sold water is back. He smiled and walked up: "This is the money I sold ten buckets of water just now, and in addition, I also bought one bucket from you." After paying the bill, he turned around and left, leaving the water boss stunned to look at the money in his hand.
It feels good to walk in the sea breeze with his hands behind his back, even though he has always been a liar.
Outside the wealthy area
Saza didn't expect that this red-haired war school student who once led a large group of people to hunt kings was actually the son of the captain of the Red Sea Turtle, and he was really old.
"Boy, so you're the first mage son of my father," Aaron spoke first, "Well, no matter how much you mages look down on someone like me who speaks with his fists, our goal is the same now. What do you think?"
"Uh-huh. Saza raised an eyebrow.
"Very good, now let's go and gather people, if we want to save people from those Aquamen, the two of us are not enough. He pulled out a pocket watch and looked at the time, "It's almost ten o'clock, and we'll meet here at thirty." What's the matter, you're not going to be able to find a helper like this chick, are you?" the redhead tilted his head and looked at the eldest lady beside Saza.
Taking a small step forward, Saza blocked the other party's rude gaze: "I won't wait for you if you're late." The implication is also very clear. After saying that, he took the eldest lady and left.
After walking around a corner, Saza wilted, and his momentum was very strong, but I am afraid that he really won't have a helper. It's not that he doesn't have friends, on the contrary, it's because they are all friends, so he doesn't want to take them to participate in such dangerous actions, how many students are like him who fight and kill every day?
"Saza, the milk tea just now is too strong, you can accompany me to buy a cup of juice. Qi Lier jumped and said.
This time Saza didn't refuse, if it wasn't for this offer, he really didn't know where to go, and there was still half an hour.
"Boss, a glass of honey snow juice!" It seems that the eldest lady has already prepared something to drink.
"Okay, a glass of honey snow juice, 10 copper coins. ”
Saza sat in a chair at the bar, pondering where to go this time. At this time, Qilier poked him with her finger: "Saza, pay." ”
It seemed that he was the only one who was going to pay the bill, and he looked at the price on the price tag and dug it into his pocket, and then grabbed all the coins.
He quickly swept with his eyes, 1, 2, 3...... 10! That's enough! He handed the copper coin to the female boss.
"What about you, little boy, what are you wanting?" she asked.
"No," Saza waved his hand hurriedly, "one cup is enough." Then he realized the ambiguity of this sentence, but the female boss had already left him with an understanding look and turned to squeeze the juice, which made a fuss.
He turned his head and made a silent gesture to stop Qi Li'er, who was about to speak: "Let me be quiet for a while." ”
The eldest lady closed her mouth and sat quietly on the side.
Returning to his contemplation, Saza realized after calming down that this journey may not really be as simple as he thought before, he almost died the last time he met a mountain bandit, what about this time? Okay, go straight to someone's lair, even if they face a group of so-called rabble, what are their chances of winning? Yes, at this time, I have to count the red hair in my own team, and it seems that the red hair saved his life last time.
But don't forget, how much of a blow the bandits dealt to the red hair last time, and what about this time? Who can guarantee that this "campus bully" will bring good goods?
Should he ask someone else for help? Saza asked himself, who could he ask for? Ouya? This incident is definitely related to Luke's situation, if Luke says that it is difficult for him to interfere because of his status as a mentor, then how can he drag Ouya into the water? Well, to be a man, you still have to rely on yourself!
Before she knew it, the juice in her cup had been drunk. So she couldn't help but ask, "Saza, aren't you going to find someone, aren't you quite popular in the class?" unlike me, she added inwardly.
"No!" Saza stretched as if he had made a decision, "you should go home too, there is a class tomorrow." "Speaking of which, he may be absent from school for the first time tomorrow.
"I'm not going back, your father hasn't been rescued yet!" said the eldest lady with a puffed mouth.
I don't know if this eldest lady is pretending to be stupid again, Saza blew and said, "I said eldest miss, this matter is really too dangerous, don't make a mess." Feeling a little heavy, he added, "I know you're kind to me, but, well, I'm kind to you, too." ”
Qilier looked at Saza's dark eyes, why didn't he understand? What she wanted was not a good intention, but an adventure that was good enough to add any color to her world. If she could, her world would have been colorful. She said behind Sazanunu, "It's okay if you want me to go back, you can let them go home and sleep first." ”
As soon as Saza turned his head, several of his classmates led by Avis were already standing there quietly watching him.
The balcony of the Fincent mansion
"Father, you're so clever," Hilton said with a smile, "to deliberately leak the news of the traitor to Mason was to offend two promising newcomers by sacrificing the Red Turtle for the sake of the original combat technique. And just now, the eyeliner has reported that they are gathering men to prepare for a night attack on the pirates. Kill two birds with one stone. ”
"That waste should have been disposed of a long time ago, and I really have to thank the two children this time. The middle-aged man raised his glass and said proudly.
The two clinked glasses and laughed together.
Everyone thinks that they are better at chess, but who can have the last laugh?
