Chapter 69: Why is it here again?
The name of the village is kind of interesting.
For no reason, Alvin felt a sense of eerieness.
Alvin hesitated and asked Jack, "Have you been here before?" ”
Jack shook his head: "No, but this place is so close to the road, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?" Maybe it's just a little weird, right? ”
Although Janice is a woman, she is not small, which makes Alvin admire very much, which is a typical representative of the so-called "not big ability, not small temper".
"It's chaotic and unsafe here, but there will be no man-eating monsters! Let's go inside. ”
Janice was ahead of the curve.
Jack glanced at Alvin helplessly and followed.
Alvin shook his head and sighed: "We are just ordinary people who are powerless, don't you want to be so arrogant and low-key?" Then he saw that he was the only one left, and he quickly chased after him.
Although it is a small village, it is also walled, and although it is wooden, it is very well built, at least it looks like this.
The guards at the gate were still very conscientious, and interrogated the three men, but under Jack's reply with a silver coin, he was obviously very satisfied with the answer of the three men, and waved them away. But for the guards of more than a dozen people, Alvin still smelled a hint of difference from other places, you know, although the town he passed through in front of him was much larger than here, but the strength and vigilance of the guards were obviously not as good as here. It seems that it is not very safe here.
When I entered the village, I found that although it was a little more desolate than the town I encountered a few days ago, the sparrows were small and full of organs. There are grocery stores, pubs, inns and even a post house.
At this time, the smoke of cooking rose from every house in the village, the children were running around in the streets, the farmers were returning home from their day's work, and the housewives were calling for their children at the door of their homes.
After opening two rooms in the hotel, the three of them went to the tavern to inquire about the news and have some drinks by the way.
Alvin wasn't originally a drinker, but when he followed Jack and Janice, a dog man and woman, if he didn't drink some alcohol at night, the ghost crying wolf next door would keep him awake all night, and he finally knew why Janice's voice was always low and hoarse - it was completely self-inflicted!
Second, the days of riding horses for several days made Alvin feel deeply tired, especially the fact that the road ahead is long, but there is nowhere to be his hometown, so that Alvin always has an unreal feeling, being in a foreign land, insecure, and the resulting prodigal son mentality, so that he is slowly accustomed to comforting himself with honey.
The village here is small, and the taverns don't have any names, but a few barrels are placed at the door to make signs.
However, when I entered the inside, I found that it was still very clean, but there were already a lot of people. It seems that there are many drunkards everywhere. As soon as the three of them entered, the tavern suddenly quieted down from the originally noisy atmosphere, and after a few seconds, it was clear that strangers did not come here often.
The three of them found a table in the corner, and the bartender came over and asked what they needed before leaving. Soon, the wine and food that the three of them asked for were delivered.
Janice looked around and saw that a few vulgar fellows were casting wild glances at her, and she glared back, causing a burst of laughter.
Jack sighed helplessly and said: "Dear baby, although I am willing to give everything, even my life, for you, but I really don't want to fight in the bar anymore, along the way, I have cleaned up too many perverts and drunkards, I just want to have a good drink today." ”
Alvin knew that Jack was telling the truth, but he was in the mood to watch the excitement, and he was not afraid that things would get bigger, after all, Jack's skills were there, and ordinary farmers, ten people tied together, were not Jack's opponents.
Janice played with the long hair hanging down her cheeks, raised her eyebrows and teased Jack: "People can't help it, sweetheart, those perverts will make people very uncomfortable if they stare at people so viciously!" ”
Jack looked at Janice's seductive charm and couldn't wait to finish her drink and take her back to her room to clean up.
Jack thought for a moment and pulled a copper coin out of his bosom.
As soon as Alvin saw it, he immediately quickly filled the food into his mouth, he knew what Jack wanted to do, and he also knew that Jack's move would sometimes have the opposite effect, once the fight started, he would not be able to eat quietly, and he was really hungry today, and now he just wanted to eat well, as for the excitement, he could watch it with honey wine for a while.
One of the coarse drunkards shouted rudely, "That man, if you have no money, you can scrape together some money for you to buy another glass of wine, but you must let your beautiful coquettish lady come and have a drink with them." ”
Alvin's cowardice of bowing his head to eat allowed them to automatically filter this beautiful young man who looked harmless to humans and animals, especially when he heard their provocation, the young man ate faster, as if he hadn't eaten in days.
Seeing that the men had already stood up and wanted to go this way, Jack smiled and pinched the copper coin vertically with his right index finger and thumb to show them.
With a "click", as Jack's two fingers squeezed hard, the copper coin instantly bent and became two halves stacked together.
The bodies of the drunkards stopped suddenly, as if they had been immobilized, and the expressions on their faces were so wonderful and wonderful.
There were also idlers watching the excitement next to him, laughing loudly, and some people applauded Jack.
Jack clasped the copper coin with his thumb and flicked it at several people, and with a "snap", the copper coin drew a parabola, which happened to fall into the arms of the drunk who had just said that he wanted Janice to drink with them. And this hand caused a round of applause from the people around him.
The drunkard was so frightened by Jack's hand that his mind immediately cleared up.
With a trembling voice, he took out the copper coin in his arms and put it in front of his eyes.
I saw that the two sides of the copper coin were pressed tightly together.
Oh, my God! What a lot of strength this man has to have!
Several people looked at each other, turned around, took out the money from their bodies, and without counting them, threw it on the table, and ran out of the tavern in disarray.
Everyone around laughed good-naturedly. It seems that the actions of a few people have also aroused the dissatisfaction of the people in the same village.
Alvin put down his glass in disappointment, the scene he had hoped for did not appear, it seems that the people here are still not as tough as the people in the previous towns, at least there are still good men who dare to call out to their faces after seeing Jack's hand, but those good men are all bad without exception, and I don't know if they finally found all their teeth on the ground.
After drinking and eating, the three paid and left.
At the time of checkout, the bartender kindly reminded: "Stranger, if there is nothing else, stay in the village for one night and leave on the road, although those people just now have no ability, they have dealings with some thieves outside the village, but they don't harm the people of the village." I'm doing it for your own good, and you'd better listen to me. ”
Janice smiled charmingly at the bartender and said, "Thank you, boss." Good intentions, I'll remember it here. As he spoke, he pointed to his heart with a slender note.
The bartender was red-faced and stammered speechless, but was viciously grabbed by the big-shouldered and round-waisted proprietress on the side and pulled aside.
Facing the angry boss lady, Janice didn't care, put her arm around Jack, and left together.
There was nothing to say all night, but it was amorous.
Alvin had a hard night in the midst of the shaking of the earth and the howling of ghosts and wolves.
The next morning, Alvin, who had two dark circles under his eyes, looked at the energetic and refreshed two, and couldn't see that the pair had worked hard all night, and scolded with hatred: "Dog man and woman! ”
After replenishing their provisions, the three rode out of the village, but not long after they walked, Alvin smiled.
I saw a dozen bandits on horseback blocking the way in front, and there were a few people inside, looking familiar, as if they had drunk honey together last night.
Jack lowered his head: "What...... Why is it here again, it's still endless......"
