422 Lao Mai's sweat medicine
Inside the small restaurant, the atmosphere becomes eerie.
After the initial surprise, Alex had a slight smile on his face.
Sure enough, things gather like and people are grouped. Mixed up with a guy like Illo, he is also a black shop owner who is good at abducting and deceiving everything.
She put down her knife and fork gracefully, gently stroked the silk scarf on her wrist, and repeated with a smile, "One thousand two hundred and six gold coins?"
Illo finally reacted, glaring at his boss. Unexpectedly, he didn't pay attention to it at all, slapped the recipe on the table, and hummed, "The price is clearly marked, I don't believe you can read it yourself." โ
On the smudged menu, the number "1206" is indeed written. It is connected to the dish "Honey Sauce Swift Dragon Ribs" in a crooked curve, and it is impossible to see it unless you distinguish it carefully.
"It's pretty professional," Alex nodded with a smile, turned to look at the half-elf sitting across from him, and asked softly, "That's what you call a pretty good restaurant?"
There is no doubt that this boss and Illo are definitely complicit in trying to knock themselves again. Angry in her chest, she had already made up her mind to teach the wolf bรจi a lesson.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding," Illo hurriedly stood up, waved his hand again and again to signal her to wait for a moment, and then pulled the little old man who was still a little dazed, and scolded in a low voice, "Old Mai, what are you doing!"
"Fat sheep," replied Lao Mai as a matter of course, as if he was a little puzzled, "Didn't you bring it?"
"Take your head," the half-elf glanced at Alex, who was about to have a seizure, and shook his head helplessly, "This time." I'm really here to invite someone to dinner. โ
"Good boy," Lao Mai was stunned for a moment, and then snorted dissatisfiedly, "Then what happened to that bag of gems just now...... Could it be that you've gotten enough out of her, and you don't care if your brother lives or dies?"
As a retired bandit leader, Lao Mai opened this small shop. The original intention is indeed to provide for the elderly. But not long after arriving in the valley, he met the half-elf Illo by mistake. Both of them are characters who itch their hands without committing crimes, and they can be called sympathetic, hitting it off, often having a drink, and exchanging experiences or ideas that are not humane.
Since half a year ago, the two have finally stopped being satisfied with paper and began to put a series of ideas into action. You hold hands and I lead the sheep, and the cooperation is very pleasant. So today Illo led Alex through the door. Lao Mai was secretly paying attention to him, and when he heard the charming collision of gems, he couldn't hold back anymore and came up attentively.
"Don't worry, your ...... is absolutely indispensable," Illo reassured his accomplices and tried to maintain the revolutionary friendship between them, "but today's business, let's forget it for now." I have more important things to do. โ
"What is this......" Hearing that there was a share of the spoils, Lao Mai's angry expression suddenly softened. But there was still a hint of hesitation on his face.
Alex next to him snorted, if this old man still didn't know the current affairs, she wouldn't mind loosening her muscles. But at this moment, an inexplicable sleepiness swept over, which made her yawn involuntarily.
"Old Mai, you're not interesting enough. Illo patted the little old man on the shoulder and frowned, "Don't give this face?"
"Brother, how can you not give face," Lao Mai glanced at the sleepy Alex. A little embarrassed to laugh, "But you didn't say it earlier...... I'm ...... all this medicine."
In the quiet little restaurant, all that was left was the crackling of firewood burning in the fireplace, and the soft snoring.
Illo and Lao Mai, you look at me, I look at you, and they are speechless for a while.
In front of them, Alex had fallen headlong on the wooden table, and fell into a deep sleep, with a golden ponytail on the back of his head, playfully cocked, swaying slightly, looking quiet and beautiful.
But it is conceivable that when she wakes up, she will definitely not be able to get rid of it in a few words. The two sides may have to fight, and it will really outweigh the losses.
"Really, just do her?" Old Mai groaned for a moment, reaching out and gesturing at Alex's neck.
"Don't, don't," Illo hurriedly stopped him, admonishing, "the most out of the ordinary we have ever done is to strip each other naked and throw them into the wilderness, and if we do die, it will be contrary to our original purpose." โ
"But she looks quite fat," Muttered to the old Mai, and asked, "what do you say?"
"You bring the antidote first, I'll try to explain it to her......" Illo muttered, looking a little embarrassed, he had experienced firsthand that Alex's personality was far more violent than his appearance.
"Is there an antidote...... It's not easy to find, so you can wait a minute. Lao Mai left in a hurry, and the sound of rummaging through the cabinets suddenly sounded. They don't have much money to buy and sell like this, and there are not many opportunities to use the antidote.
Illo scratched his head in annoyance, stared at the sleeping Alex, and then hesitantly bent down. It always feels a little inappropriate to let a good-looking girl use her face to get in close contact with the table. He carefully placed his hands between them, which also served as a cushion.
"What are you doing, Illo?"
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. Allegri leaned his umbrella aside, pushed the door in, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Uh......" Illo was startled, hurriedly stood up straight, and asked a little nervously, "Why are you here?"
"I just called you upstairs, and if you didn't agree, I'll follow you to have a look. Allegri smiled, shook the raindrops off his robes, and stepped closer. His curious gaze swept over the sleeping Alex, and he immediately turned to the half-elf ranger vigilantly and asked, "You guy, you can't be trying to abduct women, right?"
"No way," Illo explained, casually, with a "I don't understand what you're talking about," "she's just a little sleepy, so she's just taking a nap." โ
"Do you think I don't know, is this a restaurant or a hotel?" Allegri scoffed, and the tips of his ears trembled slightly when the half-elf lied, a detail he remembered clearly.
"Illo, I've found the antidote," Illo was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Lao Mai held a small medicine bottle high and rushed back, still showing off loudly in his mouth, "Fortunately, my brother I took precautions, and when I asked them to order sweat medicine, I prepared it in advance-"
"Forehead......" His voice stopped abruptly, and after looking at Allegri, he finally recognized it, and the hand holding the medicine bottle slowly retracted, and then quietly hid behind him. (To be continued......)
