Chapter 33: The Apprentice Thief
In Randy's stateroom, Sanmao was holding a plate of sauce and meat, and his hands were full of oil.
Ah Hua, who was lying next to her, gave way to the distance and turned around, indicating that I didn't know the person next to me.
This look like I haven't eaten, it's too shameless.
Sanmao really hasn't eaten for two days, and he's grown so big, and he hasn't eaten sauce meat. A plate of meat was eaten up, but Randy didn't give it to him anymore.
"That's pretty much it, it's not good for your stomach to eat, I'll take you to the restaurant at noon and eat slowly." And this thing is Ah Hua's rations, I don't dare to rob it. ”
"Sir, I've never eaten anything so fragrant before. For a while, I had no rice and was so hungry that I had to go to the lake every day to catch hairy crabs to eat. ”
Taking the tissue handed over by Henry and wiping his hands, Sanmao looked at Randy eagerly, "Master, you are such a big person, you don't even have a follower to carry a bag."
This ghost entourage doesn't know how to serve people at first glance, so take me as a follower. I don't need money, I just need to eat and be full. ”
Henry is on fire, and he handed you a tissue in vain, right? "Who's the ghost? I am a serious descendant of Great Xia, my surname is Bai, you know? Randy Boss I followed first, believe me or not, the boss doesn't want you? ”
"Sanmao, I'm not a master, I'm also a poor man, and Henry is not my entourage, but my comrade-in-arms. I'm about to form a team myself, and I can't afford to hire a follower by taking risks and working hard to make money with people. ”
Sanmao touched the high-grade leather decoration on the wall, and stroked Ah Hua again, Ah Hua turned her head in disgust.
"I don't believe that the old man who takes the special cabin to raise the tiger has no money, I have a rotten life, I'm afraid of starvation, let me follow you."
"I'm going to venture to the battlefield in the Western Regions soon, and it's dangerous for you to be a child. Don't wander outside, go home. Where is your home? I can give you a little bit of money. ”
"I didn't have a home since I was a child, and for as long as I can remember, I've been wandering the streets of the city with a group of children, and I've never had enough to eat. I just offended the Green Gang, and I just ran out of the demon city, and I never dared to go back.
Boss, you're going on an adventure, I can help. I can scout, run fast, pick locks, know how to use mechanisms, and can use daggers and crossbows, and I am a qualified trainee thief, and my skills are very useful. ”
"The lie is exposed, right? And said that you haven't stolen anything, so what are you learning to pick locks for? Do you have the ability to eat? Boss, this kid is not honest and can't ask for it. ”
Randy waved his hand at Henry, but he was interested, "A thief is not a thief, this is the name given here to the master of the mechanic and scout skills." Jianqiu also has this major, and when graduates enter the army, they will be able to become scout platoon commanders immediately.
Since you don't have the money, where did you learn this skill? You must know that the probationary thief has to be assessed, not blown by himself. If you were a trainee thief, would you not be able to find a job? ”
Sanmao stood up and pushed the hatch out, "Boss, lock the door from the inside." ”
Seeing that Sanmao opened the locked hatch in less than five seconds and walked in, a wire in his hand flickered, and he didn't know where it was hidden, Randy thought thoughtfully.
Sanmao hurriedly explained, "My ability was taught by Du Yong, the boss of the Green Gang.
Wu Sibao and I begged for food on the streets of the magic city, pushed carts, shined shoes, and did everything, and one day Lin Guisheng, the eldest sister of the Green Gang, recruited us idlers, and we were lucky enough to pass the test, saying that we had the qualifications to become thieves.
The eldest sister asked me and Wu Sibao to follow Mr. Du to learn art during the day, and to do chores in the smoke house opened by Mr. Du at night, and it took two years to study.
In the past two years, I finally have something to eat, although I don't care about being full. The eldest sister said that if you want to eat well, you have to earn it by yourself, so I studied very hard.
Originally, after I finished my studies, I was going to go out on an expedition with the gang's team to find treasure. However, Boss Du said that he had to hand over his name to let us out.
Casting a name is to go to a rich person's house to steal something, and if you have a criminal record, you will not betray the gang. Although I was born as a beggar, I have a conscience. followed Wu Sibao to the scene, and his conscience found that he was unwilling to say anything.
Wu Sibao's ability is not as good as mine, he was caught and recruited me too. As soon as I came out of the bureau, I was arrested by the gang, beaten severely, and locked in the house without food.
It just so happened that Chen Yingshi from the Heaven and Earth Society came to help Libai Wharf, saying that he wanted to join the Green Gang as a person, and the bigwigs went to greet him, so I took the opportunity to pick the lock and run out.
The demon city didn't dare to stay any longer, so I lent someone something and mixed it up on the boat. Jinling couldn't be too close, so I had planned to run a little farther and find an adventurous party to join in. Boss, you are such a good person, isn't it just right to follow you? ”
This kid has a conscience, and would rather starve to death than be a thief, and is very angry with Randy.
And Randy knows that this craft, Jianqiu's classmates have to learn it for four years. Sanmao left the school in two years and became a trainee thief, and good bones are secondary, that is to avoid starvation and learning to play with life.
Children of the poor, facing the danger of starvation, are much more motivated to learn than the rich. Randy himself won the championship twice in the two-handed sword competition because of this, and he felt very empathetic, and his affection for Sanmao immediately increased.
"That's ......"
Henry stopped Randy at once and circled around Sanmao, "Hey, boss, you can't listen to him." In case he steals something while we're asleep and escapes, we won't have anywhere to look for him. ”
Sanmao was anxious, "How is it possible?" Where can I find such a good boss? ”
Randy shook his hand, "When I form a team, I have to go to the mercenary guild under the government to officially register, and it is also convenient to accept the commission."
When the time comes, we have the mercenary token, and I, as the captain, will be able to know the location of each team member, and I don't think this guy will have a problem. ”
"This boss, you have the final say, now when there is no mercenary token, I don't feel at ease. But boss, I have a way to keep this kid in check for you for the time being. ”
Henry looked at Sanmao, showed a malicious smile, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a scalpel appeared in his hand.
Sanmao saw that Henry took out a very sharp knife, and was terrified, what parts of himself was this to unload? He turned around and fled behind Ah Hua.
However, it was not like that, Henry took the knife back with a smile, replaced it with a dragon's blood staff, recited a spell, and a magic mark hit Sanmao's body.
"I'm a surgeon by profession, and the Priesthood of Light is just a side hustle in the family, so ......"
Henry withdrew his staff, shrugged his shoulders at Randy, spread his hands, and explained the reason for his two consecutive misses.
