Section 7 The wayward little girl
Dama looked for a while on the stone slab and said: "The most of our people in Minsk City are low-level mercenaries and low-level regiments, so low-level tasks are also the most sought-after, and they are immediately robbed as soon as they come out." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But fortunately most people went out of the city to kill lions today, but I picked up a leak for you, what do you think of this?"
Several people came together, only to see a task displayed on the stone slab: "Wayward Girl: Escort Alice, the youngest daughter of Hitchcock, a building materials merchant, to Willow Shore Village in Sweedy City within five days, and the task rewards three gold coins." Hint: Little Alice has been spoiled since she was a child, she is rude and willful, you must be fully mentally prepared. ”
Mira said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle Dama, I am also a lion slayer brave, even if I can't find a task worthy of my identity, you don't need to ask me to be the little girl's nanny." ”
Diga immediately clapped his hands and said: "This task is good, I like it, Stilwell City is not far away, and I haven't heard of any robber monsters on the road, safety first, safety first." ”
Dama rolled her eyes and said, "That's the only task you can take now, why don't you consider finding cucumbers for the widow's tailor?" Mira reluctantly said, "Okay, just take this, otherwise when those guys come back after killing the lion, they won't even have this." ”
The autumn wind blows across the earth, like a sympathetic hand caressing the beginning, on the golden field, the refreshing fragrance of rice wafts everywhere, the old farmers sit in groups on the ridges of the field, make half a pot of strong tea, light a long cigarette, and their faces are filled with the joy of harvest.
Mira is in a bad mood now, he has a vague feeling that he has been framed by Dama again, this Alice is not only spoiled, but already very bad. After walking more than three miles from the city to now, the little girl had smashed seven cups, scolded Mira eleven times, spat at passers-by three times, and lit a chariot once, and Mira now understood why the building materials merchant had secretly stuffed herself with the hard money of a gold coin.
The eleven or twelve-year-old girl, who is still as fat as a ball, is not it just a few stinky money in the family, what is so good? One will cry and laugh, one will sleep and one will make trouble, Mira will find a rope to tie her up fiercely, and then stuff a sock in her mouth. But looking at the two coachmen and a wet nurse accompanying her, Mira sanguinly let go of this thought.
Mira turned her head and asked Lyle, "One-eyed, doesn't the information say that you are an intermediate swordsman, how did you become a swordsman?"
The one-eyed Lyle shook his head stinkily: "Master, there is no need to explain. ”
The little sparrow Yuxia immediately said: "I know that I know that One-Eye was indeed a swordsman in the army before, but then his eye injury affected the speed and balance of the sword, so he was demoted." ”
"Cut," a sneer came from his ear, and when he looked at the voice, he saw Alice lying on the car window and looking at him with disdain: "I thought that the old man had invited some kind of master, it turned out that he was just a swordsman, and even the servants who poured the toilet in my grandmother's house were swordsmen." In order to accentuate her tone, she also wrinkled her fat face and made a strange expression, as if a steaming meat bun had opened all its folds.
The one-eyed froze suddenly, and Mira could almost clearly see a trace of cold air emanating from his body, and Lyle sneered: "Little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky, since the adults in your family haven't taught you how to respect the strong, then I don't mind teaching you a little lesson." With that, he flicked his wrist, and the sheathed sword was lit out like lightning, as if he must knock off a few of Alice's front teeth.
As soon as it was too late, Alice quickly stretched out a finger behind her and pointed it on the one-eyed scabbard, and the long sword was suddenly broken in two, and the tip of the sword fell on the grass with a click. Alice's nurse leaned her face out of the car window and said expressionlessly: "Tong Yan Wuji, is your sword specially used to scare children?"
Alice smiled and looked at the earth-colored one-eyed, and said in a fluttering voice, "I forgot to tell you, my grandmother, everyone else calls her the Bright Moon Sword Saint." The few people who followed me were all her disciples. ”
In the following time, One-Eye was sullen, and Mira didn't dare to provoke him again, but said to the big man beside him: "Sorin, have your wife and children settled down?" The big man hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you for the salary of the head of the regiment on time, I have already bought black bread and dried radishes for the two of them." ”
The little sparrow chirped: "Your child is growing up, can eating only black bread and dried radishes be nutritious? If you want me to say, you always have to show the child some flesh for ten days and half a month, and your wife, who used to be a very good-looking girl, is now thin, you really don't hurt people." ”
The big man laughed a few times, a trace of sadness obviously flashed in his eyes, Mira saw it in his eyes, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Poverty is only temporary, as long as we work together, work together to complete the task, and build the mercenary group well, we will definitely be able to meet a bright future, and when the time comes, you can eat whatever you want, and you can play wherever you want, what a happy life." ”
A smile appeared at the corner of the big man's mouth: "Captain, you don't need so much delicious food, as long as you can manage our whole family to eat, I will be satisfied." The foodie Swo immediately raised his hand and said: "Commander, I believe you, it is said that there is a dish in China called Manchu Han Quanxi, which sounds very good, when can you invite us to eat?"
As he was talking, a carriage came on the official road, and a young man with a pale face sat in the driver's seat, shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, I want to enter the city." ”
At this time, the sun was empty, and there were really a lot of pedestrians coming and going on the official road, and when they saw the menacing carriage, they all avoided it, and at the place where the carriage came, there was a billowing of smoke and dust, and a voice shouted: "The people in front stop them, don't let the thieves go." ”
The crowd was stunned, and the carriage ran forward a little further, and the young man looked like he was crazy, and shook the whip with red eyes. Seeing that he was about to pass Alice's carriage, Alice suddenly threw an embroidered pier out of the window, which happened to be on the wheels. The carriage suddenly overturned on its side, and the wooden carriage was scattered to the ground.
Before Mira could understand what was going on, a girl with a sad face crawled out of the scattered planks, ran to the young man who had been thrown out of the distance in a few steps, hugged him and said, "Rand, how are you? ”
After such a delay, more than a dozen cavalrymen behind had already caught up, and a fat man led by him sneered and said, "Run, you should run again." Bastards, even if you run to the edge of the sky, you won't be able to escape my Five Finger Mountain. He scolded and whipped hard, and soon the man and woman were covered in blood and hugged each other and wept silently.
The people who watched the excitement soon gathered in a large circle, and through the little sparrow inquired about the news, everyone knew that the girl was a slave girl in Sir Justin's manor, because she fell in love with the wandering bard, the two stole the carriage of the old man's house and eloped, but they were intercepted here. People's hearts are sympathetic to the weak, and everyone's eyes are immediately full of disgust when they look at Alice, if it weren't for the little girl's ghost, these two hard-working lovers might be able to fly away and live happily ever after.
Alice puffed out her cheeks and listened to the comments of passers-by, got out of the carriage with a calm face, and walked to the fat man who was being tortured. The dozen or so horsemen dismounted and saluted her, and they had long seen that Alice's carriage was much more beautiful than that of her lord, and that she must have had a great deal to do, and that she had just helped her, so they all came forward and nodded their heads in thanks.
Who knew that Alice's first sentence made them all stunned: "You guys have fought enough, let them go." ”
The fat man was stunned for a while before he said: "No, this woman is the slave girl of Lord Justin, and she is worth at least ten gold coins, and this bastard abducted the master's private property, and she will be caught and broken for a week." Honorable Miss, we thank you for your help just now, but ......"
Before he finished speaking, a money bag was smashed on his face, and suddenly his nose bleeded, and Alice shouted: "Here are a hundred gold coins, I want to redeem them for me, you guys get out of here." ”
More than a dozen cavalrymen held down the hilt of their swords, and the fat man said with a blue face: "My lord's title is also earned from a knife and a shot on the battlefield, not the kind of wine bag and rice bag who is greedy for money and afraid of death, noble miss, please don't insult us with money again." According to the laws of the Empire, we have absolute right to dispose of the female slaves on the estate, and even if His Majesty the Emperor comes in person, we will not hand over these two. ”
Alice's eyes burst into flames of anger and shouted, "Nurse, these people bullied me and killed them for me." ”
In full view of everyone, the nurse got out of the carriage with a blank face, lifted Alice upside down with one hand, and walked back to the carriage in silence. Alice scolded while struggling, and suddenly pointed at Mira and said, "You have received money to protect me, give it to me quickly, and hack those miscellaneous pieces to death." Mira was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, but the cavalrymen saw that there was no movement, and they did not want to be watched on the official road any longer, so they saluted the crowd around them, and rode back with the two fugitives.
