Chapter 48: Nicknames

When he was about to go out, One-Eye suddenly called out: "Aha, I figured it out, you are forty-three years old this year." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Mira's mood suddenly improved a lot, and she deeply realized the superiority of her intelligence.

Originally, he was full of ambition to recruit a magician, but he only recruited a liar and a trainee rookie, and Mira's depression can be imagined. On the way back to the hostel, he kept sighing, and Wendell patted him on the shoulder with a sympathetic face: "Young man, life is so full of variables and setbacks, you have to open your mind, since you can't resist, it's better to enjoy yourself." ”

Mira struggled to break free of his embrace, and was about to sneer at him, when suddenly she saw a fast horse rushing from afar, and the horseman on the horse stood in the middle of the street, took out a scroll of notice, and said loudly: "Spread the order of the new sheriff, Lord Conzes, that all the people in the street should be returned to their own places within an hour." After nightfall, the Public Security Bureau will carry out a severe crackdown, killing those who make noise for no reason, killing those who do evil, and killing those who carry out open fire. ”

At this time, the streets were already in chaos, all kinds of prodigals were enjoying their carnival and festivals, and when they heard the words of the cavalry, some men in the uniforms of the city guards shouted: "Don't listen to that guy's bluffing, there is no sheriff in Stilwell City, everyone can rob as much as you want, grab money, grab goods and women, there will be no such shop in this village." The ruffians all cheered, and vented their excess energy even more fiercely.

The herald's cavalry sneered and rode to the next street.

Wendell also sneered: "This Conzes doesn't know where to come from, he doesn't know how to be an official at all, when a new official takes office, there are always various ways to deal with it, and the relationship is dredged everywhere, how can he shout and kill as soon as he comes? I dare to conclude that his sheriff will definitely not be able to do it for long." ”

Not necessarily in a word, he was already dragged by Mira and ran up: "I don't know what his official is doing, but this guy said that if he kills someone, he will definitely let go of the killing, and if we don't run back to the hostel, we will really be cut by him." The old liar was also anxious: "But I still have a lot of things left in the lodging that I have not taken, cough, just personal belongings, Miss Isabel, please withdraw your greedy gaze." "Stupid, it's fate or something that matters now, let's go get it tomorrow." ”

That night, Mira buried her head deep in the quilt and pretended not to hear the screams coming from outside.

Early the next morning, two carriages drove one after the other on the widest street of Stilwell, the sound of hooves ticking to break the unusual silence.

Through the car window, you can see that the bluestone street is as clean as washing, and there are still strange red traces left in many stone crevices. On both sides of the long street, a bamboo pole is inserted every few meters, and at the top of each bamboo pole hangs a hideous human head, which extends neatly forward, and the human head is also endlessly coming, and the mournful ghost roar can be heard on the empty street.

Fast legs seem to be a lot more honest today, driving the carriage quietly, and it took a long time for a long time to burst out of a sentence: "Did Kangzes kill all the men in the city?" One-eye said leisurely from the driver's seat in the back car: "It is impossible to kill them all, but looking at this number, it is estimated that every five families in the city must have one with filial piety." ”

Mira leaned on the cushion, silently looked at the bamboo poles and human heads sliding outside the window, and muttered in her mouth: "Zeguo Jiangshan enters the battle map, and the people are happy to be happy." Relying on the words of the king to seal the marquis, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither. ”

"What are you crazy about early in the morning? What about you, don't you see that we are busy? Isabel didn't seem to be paying any attention to the outside, just feverishly counting the pile of gold coins and jewels at Wendell's feet.

The old liar had now washed off his makeup, revealing an ordinary face, but with a rather sad expression: "These are all mine." "I know, but shouldn't you pay for the carriage?" "But I bought the carriage too." "I know, but without so many of us to protect you, do you dare to drive the carriage out of the city by yourself?" Isabel pulled Tracy to her side: "And we two young and invincible beautiful girls protect you closely, shouldn't you pay a little appearance fee?"

Tracey wanted to hold back, but she couldn't help but smile, she found that she had laughed almost more in the past few days than in the past year, and even her cough seemed to have lessened a lot. Tracey looked at Mira in a daze with some wistfulness, if only he were her own brother.

Wendell's head was full of black lines: "Didn't you come out of the Holy See, why are you still so greedy for money?"

"Hmph, have you ever seen a person from the Holy See who is not greedy for money?"

Wendell thought for a moment, "yes, why didn't I notice it before? Your point of view is very helpful to my acting career, and it seems that I can also break through the acting path in the future and play some priest and other roles." ”

Out of the city gate, the world suddenly became extremely beautiful, and the faint smell of blood could no longer be smelled in the air, and in order to calm down, Mira told everyone to get out of the car and rest for a while.

Wendell jumped up as soon as he got out of the car, and hurriedly found Mila and said, "You're not doing the right thing, Minsk is in the south, how did you get out of the East Gate?

Mira said lightly: "You think too much, we just stopped by to see a friend." ”

The foodie jumped out of the car with a pot of tiger skin and phoenix claws, and the fast-legged probe wanted to catch one first, but was repelled by the foodie with a few spoons: "It's not mixed yet, what are you in a hurry?"

"Meeting?" Mira's nerves began to sensitize again: "What meeting are you going to have? Why don't I know? Is there some illegal thing to hide from me?"

Fast Legs grinned and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Tarun said just now that he doesn't have a nickname, and we're thinking about giving him one." ”

Tarun muttered as he nibbled on the steamed buns, "Why do you have to have a nickname? I think the name Tarun is very good." ”

"It's not bad in your country, but we're going to have to go around on missions in the future, and when you get outside, you'll know that there are not ten thousand but eight thousand people named Talen. For example, One-Eye's name is Lyle, and the day before yesterday I casually called Lyle on the street, and immediately seven or eight people responded, so don't you think it's more kind and convenient for One-Eyed to call?"

"What's more, if we come out to mess around, we will inevitably make enemies and get into trouble, and it will be too dangerous to keep our real names. In case a hairy-faced monk with a thunderous mouth says, "If I call you Talen, do you dare to agree?" Should you or shouldn't? If you do, you may be sucked into the gourd at any time, and it will turn into pus and blood in a while. ”

Tarun opened his mouth wide, "Huh?"

Mira couldn't look at it: "Don't listen to his nonsense, this is a story from Dongfang Huaguo, it is fictional, how can there be such a powerful gourd?"

Tarun said seriously: "Don't say it, there are really very powerful gourds." There is such a story in the village next door to us, there is a family whose gourd is planted very large, and their family wanted to knock one to eat, but it turned out that seven fell at the same time and turned into seven little dolls, and they sang songs in their mouths: gourd baby, gourd baby, seven flowers on a vine. ”

Tracey was fascinated: "What happened to the dolls?"

Tarun scratched the back of his head: "I don't know, it seems that he was taken by a strange snake." ”

Isabel smiled and asked Wendell, "I guess, the one who needs to hide your real name the most here is you, what is your nickname?"

Wendell put on a disdainful expression, and Isabel's eyes immediately aimed at the money bag on his waist, Wendell immediately surrendered: "Okay, I'll recruit, can't I recruit? I just have such a little wife left, don't keep worrying about whether it's okay or not." ”

Isabel wrinkled her good-looking nose: "From your flashing eyes and pompous movements, I can conclude that you are lying to me, you must have something more valuable hidden." But let's leave that alone, what's your nickname?"

"Before I came to Stilwell, they all called me a dramatist. ”

"Drama?" Isabel glanced at him: "**** ruthless, the drama is unjust?"

Wendell immediately retorted: "Isabel doesn't have a nickname yet, do you want me to give you one?"

"No," Isabel said with a smile, "I've thought about it, a young, beautiful, pure and lovely girl like me should be called an angel." ”

"Angel, just you?" said the actor in an exaggerated voice, "If all the angels were like you, I think the tickets to hell would probably be sold out." ”

Isabel's face turned red with anger: "You damn fox, how can you blaspheme the beautiful angel in my heart? No, lose money, I have suffered tons of psychological damage, and you have to lose a lot of money." ”

"It's impossible to lose money, I'll give you a nickname, how about gluttony?

"It's not good," Mira shook her head vigorously: "Such a beautiful girl is called such a fierce nickname, how can she go out to pick up little fresh meat in the future? ”

Ignoring the threat of Isabel jumping to her feet, the crowd quickly implemented this rather auspicious nickname, and by the way, gave the unrebellious Taron the name of a stone. Triss blushed slightly and said: "I don't know mercenary skills, and my body is not suitable for following everyone to do tasks, I will be responsible for the logistics of the regiment in the future, so you don't need to give me a nickname." ”

Except for the beckoning cat, who still pouted high, everyone else happily started the journey again, leaving behind the singing and laughter along the way and the chicken bones in one place. After a while, the fast legs shouted: "Commander, look and see, this is the place where I met the hearse." ”

Mira looked around at the familiar terrain, and the scene of Singh reclining on the carriage and telling the story seemed to be replaying in front of her eyes, and the wrinkled smiling face of the old sa was also like a sound. Mira touched the snail shell given by the old shaman on her chest, sighed and said to Tris: "Not far ahead, is the place where your brother and I fought, I'll take you to see it." ”

Tracey hummed softly and quietly tugged at Mira's sleeve: "Now, you are also my brother." ”
