Chapter 34: Someone Happens at Times Like This
Bai He had a headache, and he was now walking down an unfamiliar street in a manner similar to that of an escorted prisoner. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the literal meaning suggests, Bai He is now walking on the streets that he has never been to at all, following a team that looks like two men, three women and one beast on the surface, but is actually composed of two men, three women and one beast. Of course, this doesn't include the kidney-deficient skeleton who walked at the front of the line and was talking and laughing with the Locke siblings.
What Bai He's little brown leather boots were trampling on was a 100% dirt road with no traces of construction at all, and there was not a single grass or hair on the road that would be trampled on all year round. However, the townspeople probably felt that the road did not have a single hair, and the ground was full of areas that had been dyed dark brown by water. Wooden buildings with triangular roofs with a distinctly medieval atmosphere are scattered on both sides of the road, stretching more than 100 meters away. It was nearly evening, and some of the houses were already lit up with dim orange candles. If you look closely, you can see that some people who have been captured by curiosity are hiding in the inconspicuous places of the houses, probing their brains into the street in the direction of the young people led by kidney skulls.
Dressed in coarse cloth clothes, the men had full beards, the women had dry hair, and their bodies were dotted with gray spots of dust and skin debris, both young and old, and they looked exactly like the kind of country peasants who had a hard time. The smell of food waste in the air is mixed with the stench of garbage and the vapor of the river not far away, and it smells both strong and fresh.
All in all, it's a small place that feels like countryside. This is not surprising given the living conditions in medieval Europe, and in fact there were quite a few villages in the Autican Kingdom that resembled them.
As mentioned earlier, at the head of the line was the kidney-deficient skeleton, with Locke and Linda talking and laughing beside him. A little further back was Eevee, who was observing his surroundings with a natural movement that would not arouse suspicion, and beside him was Hana, who was pinching her nose and frowning, and it seemed that the eldest lady could not stand the smell. After that, there is Bai He and Mei Ou who follow one after the other at the end of the line, as for who is in front and who is behind, it must not be said much, except when she needs to lead the way, otherwise Mei Ou will not let Bai He walk behind her.
Walking in front of Mei Ou, this is something that Bai He feels scared just thinking about. When he sat in the carriage today, Mei Ou's claws kept pressing against Bai He's flank at an angle that no one else could see, and as long as he moved a little too much, this claw would stab him on the waist mercilessly. So much so that Bai He has maintained a rather stiff posture all the way, coupled with the bumps of the carriage, and now his whole body feels like it is going to fall apart.
was suddenly brought to this town inexplicably, and Bai He's heart was still a little uneasy, but it was only a little uneasy. It's been more than two months since he came to this world, and it's not like he hasn't grown at all, at least now things like this don't scare him.
As it got dark, the group came to a stop about halfway through the village.
"Linda, where are you going to stay when you come back this time?" The Kidney Deficiency Skeleton asked something that sounded like it had been preparing for a long time.
[Oh, yes, Uncle York, I'm going to let my friends stay at my house.] Linda replied.
[It's not impossible to live in your house...... But...... Can you live in your house?] York's tone sounded a little hesitant, as if he had been thinking about these words for a long time.
[Why can't I live in people?Although my house is a little messy, I can still live in people!]
Everyone stopped, looking at the old and the young.
[No, no, no, kid, you misunderstood, I mean, you two have been away for so long, and there must have been a lot of dust in the room that no one has been cleaning for a long time. Everyone is tired from a day's carriage ride (glancing at everyone who stopped), you can't let them .........] York hurriedly explained, and quietly glanced at Linda.
This was a look that almost everyone present could understand, and even Bai He could understand that this kidney deficiency skeleton was reminding Linda that her house was dirty and she couldn't live in it now.
But......
【York ............】
[Yes, yes, our family is indeed a little inconvenient to entertain everyone, I'm sorry. Without waiting for Linda to finish, Locke directly interrupted the sentence, and at the same time smiled at everyone as if he was a little embarrassed.
[So, you might as well come to my house, it just so happens that there are a lot of empty rooms in my house, and you can stay as long as you want. York spoke out his proposal.
[This...... Then bother Uncle York. After a little hesitation, Locke agreed to York's offer without asking for everyone's opinions.
[I'm sorry, my house is suddenly a little inconvenient, I'm really sorry. Locke apologized to Eevee and Hana with an embarrassed face.
[It's okay, we're here anyway... (wink)... Yes, to be honest, it's actually the same everywhere you live. Isn't that right, Miss Hanna?] Eevee still looks so flirtatious, I really don't know what kind of girl will be so attracted to him all the time.
【............ Well, we just need a place to rest. Glancing at Eevee, who had suddenly dropped the conversation to her, Hana spoke, her voice still sounding so impressive. Her backpack, which was equivalent to an ascetic on her back, was forcibly taken away by Eevee after she got out of the car, so she looked and felt much better now.
[I'm really sorry. Locke apologized again, as if he had really done something wrong.
[Don't worry about it. Eevee patted Locke on the shoulder.
[Then we don't have to go any further, this is my home.] At this time, the kidney deficiency skeleton said.
Hearing him say this, everyone noticed the building next to them.
Above the grey stone façade is a triangular roof of the same stone, but unlike the exterior wall, the roof is made of orange bricks. The half-concealed wooden door is lined with transparent glass windows, through which you can see the internal structure and the dim candlelight. Although it was a two-story structure, the house was much larger than Ibrahimovic's cottage in De Yiz, and could have been called a mansion.
It seems that York didn't just say that there were a lot of empty rooms.
Later, the group had a hurried dinner at York's house and went to sleep in their separate rooms.
By the way, Hana, Eevee, and Linda are all in one room alone, and only Mei Ou and Bai He are together. When York asked Ievee if he wanted to divide the two of them, Ievee said so.
"It's just two servants, and it's already a gift to be able to give them a room to sleep in, wouldn't it be a waste of space in the mayor's house to divide the room again?"
In response to Ibrahimovic's answer, York could only respond with a dry smile.
It was late at night, and the cold moonlight shone into the room through the glass windows.
The time had ticked to the first point of the next day.
In the room, Eevee was waiting quietly with his eyes closed.
Waiting......
※
His steps staggered, and he staggered out of the mansion, which made people feel that they must have spent a lot of money.
The alcohol drunk at dinner is absorbed in the stomach and then rushed into the brain, affecting the normal functioning of the body. The drink did a good job of paralyzing the nerves, and his steps were still vain until now.
"******! this ...... ****...... Mayor...... Why repair, repair...... So big, house. Toilets, toilets, ...... All...... Not good...... Look for. ”
The alcohol that rushed into his brain made him let go of the shell he usually acted. Anyway, no one is watching it now, and no one will know what happens to it.
After searching for a long time in a daze and failing to find the target called the toilet, he gave up searching.
He leaned against the wall, unbuckled the belt around his waist, and pulled off his pants.
The comfort of excretion numbed his brain, and the pleasure almost brought the drunkard to heaven.
"Let you ...... It's hard to find! ...... To give...... You. Here you go. ”
This unexpected feeling of comfort made him completely unvigilant, so to speak, but he was not very vigilant in the first place.
So, he didn't notice a black shadow tiptoeing towards him. If it was normal, the black shadow would have been discovered by him before it even approached. But now his head was blurry with alcohol, and he couldn't even notice the dark shadow approaching from behind.
But, perennial experience is there. After the black shadow got closer to a certain distance, he finally noticed something unusual.
I've practiced turning quickly many times. After spotting the dark shadow behind him, before his head could realize what it was, his right hand quickly touched his waist on the left side of his body.
However, there was nothing there, it was empty.
The Shadow's hands were raised in the air, and in those hands was a rectangular, one-sided, sharp lump.
The shadow flashed, and his hands waved.
Smack!
A blow with the sound of wet water sounded, and a life quietly left this world.
He couldn't make a sound.
