Chapter Fifty-Six: Gath, Galen, ...... Cover in lid
When I entered the town, I found that the prosperity inside was much higher than what I saw outside.
The streets are not wide, lined with shops of all kinds, tailor shops, inns, restaurants, and ...... The streets are filled with shouting hawkers and caravans carrying goods, and in the distance, under a large tree, a bard with wavy hair is telling a group of children stories he has heard from nowhere, or perhaps made up himself. In the streets and alleys, the whole town of Ross is immersed in the bustle and hustle and bustle.
Lan Lan opened her eyes wide and looked around, her mouth let out bursts of exclamations from time to time, and the rice balls above her head also kept looking around with her small eyes, and even Miko, who had always been shy, raised her head and carefully looked at the world around her, and covered her mouth in shock when she saw something new.
Not to mention these two little girls, even Solo frequently exclaimed. Having grown up in the village, he has seen the most lively scene when the bard from afar occasionally arrives in the village, and the children of the village revolve around him.
Sawo had only heard those poets describe such a prosperous scene in Rosstown, and it was the first time he had actually seen it with his own eyes. However, the more prosperous Ross Town became, the more confused Soo became.
"Haven't the dragons invaded here?" The idea crossed Tho's mind.
"Hey, big brother and big sister, how about it, we're pretty good in Ross Town. The little fat man said to the two of them proudly, "If you want to go to Doha Nikz City or to the Boundless Forest, you have to pass through our town, which is why our town of Ross is so lively, in addition to these shops, we have a lot of fun here, I will take you to see it." The little fat man was smiling, and Solo and Miranda couldn't refuse.
After going around and around through countless alleys, So'ou and his team came to a dead end under the guidance of Gate.
"Get, that's what you're talking about fun?"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, second and third, come out, the fat sheep is here. Gate, who was walking in front, burst out with a wicked laugh.
Soon, two little boys about the same age as Gate, one blonde and the other chestnut-haired, appeared at the mouth of the alley behind them, and the three of them surrounded Solo and the others in a triangle.
"Hey, I said don't call me the second child, it's easy to misunderstand. The blonde boy snarled in displeasure at Get.
"Hey, hey, got it, dick. Git smiled, "Let's take care of what's in front of us first." ”
The little fat man said, taking out a handful of ...... in his hand Fruit knife, the other two also took out a fruit knife and held it in their hands.
"Hmph, rob !!" The little fat man tried to make a look that he thought was fierce, and the fruit knife pointed at Solo and Miranda and said viciously.
Sawo couldn't help but take a step back, what kind of place is this, he was still playing with mud with other children at the entrance of the village when he was ten years old, and the children here have already begun to work on their own at this age?
"Five copper coins for adults, three copper coins for children, and pets...... A copper coin is good. Gat's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the rice ball on Lan Lan's head, if Lan Lan hadn't pulled it, our Beastmaster would have rushed out to teach this little fat man who didn't know the height of the sky. It's the beast king who commands all beasts, so it's not a pet...... Even if it's a pet, a copper coin or something is too cheap, at least two copper coins have to start.
"Hey, big brother, this is different from what we discussed, didn't we say that good pets don't charge money?" The little boy with chestnut hair couldn't help but ask.
"Don't bother me, don't you see that I'm settling accounts. Ignoring the little boy's questioning, Getter counted his fingers to calculate how much money he should charge, and it was obvious that his fingers were not enough, and the little fat man suddenly fell into a predicament.
"Stupid, it's 17 copper coins. The blonde boy couldn't stand it anymore and said loudly to Get.
"Oh, is that so? Wait a minute. ”
Gatt crouched on the ground, put the fruit knife aside, took a small piece of charcoal from his pocket and began to write and draw on the ground.
"Aha, it's really 17 copper coins, second child, your head is really useful. Verified the authenticity of the blonde boy's words, Getter couldn't help but praise.
"It's all said, don't call me the second !!"
"Hey, hey, got it, dick. ”
......
"Minnie, we seem to be being treated like fat sheep by these little kids. ”
"You can do it yourself, you know the consequences of my action. Miranda stared at her fingernails and said casually.
"I'd better do it. "With Soo's understanding of Miranda, if she makes a move, these three children will probably have to shed their skin today.
"Children, do you know that you came out to rob your family?" Sawn asked Gater with a smile.
"Cut, don't be verbose, hurry up and pay the money, the knife in my hand is very sharp, I was scratched by it just a few days ago. As if to prove that he was not lying, the little fat man stretched out his left hand, and there was indeed a very faint, faint wound on it that was about to disappear.
"Well, it's a very sharp knife, but what should I do if I don't have any money, brother?" Solo was telling the truth, he really didn't have a copper coin on him, and there was no concept of currency in the village before.
"Don't deceive people, look at your dress doesn't look like a poor person, pay the money quickly, a total of 17 copper coins, otherwise ......"
"Or what about you?"
"Or I'...... I'll take a knife and shave your hair and make you a big bald head, what's the matter, I'm afraid. Hahaha" It seems that it is a terrible thing for the little fat man to shave his head, so he thinks that Solo will definitely pay obediently under this terrible threat.
"Alas~, I can see it, Gat, it's the first time you've come out to rob, right?" Solo looked at Gater helplessly.
"How do you know...... No, no, our three Ross brothers are notoriously bad in Ross Town, we have been grabbing girls' pigtails and snatching other people's lollipops since we were kids...... It's not right, how can I tell you this, anyway, this is the first time we have come out to rob, hurry up and pay the money!!" After the little fat man was exposed, he first looked at his toes with a weak heart, and then immediately raised his head and took a step forward, putting on a vicious look.
"Oh, don't you compare the strength of the two sides before you rob?" Solo smiled and strained slightly.
"Click"
Countless cracks suddenly appeared in the ground, extending all the way to the feet of the little fat man.
"Goo~" Gate, looking at the crack under his feet, swallowed hard, and his little face turned pale.
"Wow, the idea is prickly, let's withdraw from the second and third children!!" The little fat man who reacted got under Soo's armpit and immediately spread his feet and ran for his life.
......
......
Ten seconds later, the three little boys hugged each other tightly and looked at Miranda like a ghost. They didn't even know what was going on, but they were caught back like chicks by this beautiful big sister with nails.
"If you run away again, I don't mind having three more imps in my hands. Randa blew her fingernails, and the cold look in her eyes made the three little ones shiver.
"I prove that this big sister always does what she says. "Soy made up for it.
"Ah, big brothers and sisters, don't worry, we will never run away, it is a puppy to deceive people. Gatt said tremblingly.
"Very well, we don't embarrass you, if you answer me honestly a few questions, then I'll let you go, how about it?" Solo looked at the three boys on the ground who were pale with fright, stifled a smile, and said with a tense face.
"Ask whatever you know, and answer honestly. Git hurriedly agreed.
"Well, first question: what's your name? ”
"My name is Get. "From the little fat man.
"My name is Galen. "Little chestnut-haired boy.
"I, I'm ......" the little blonde boy hesitated without saying his name.
"Second brother, what are you hesitating about, big brother, his name is Gai Zhonggai. The little fat man hurriedly replied for the blonde boy, for fear that a female demon would accidentally upset the female devil and take their lives.
"Poof~"
"Poof~"
"Hahahaha......"
As soon as they heard this name, Solo and Miranda's deliberately tense faces couldn't hold back, and they both held their stomachs and laughed.
"Look, big brother, I knew it was going to be like this. The blonde boy yelled at Gate, blushing.
Gate patted him on the shoulder and said in an old-fashioned tone, "Second brother, everyone in the town knows your name, and it doesn't matter how many big brothers and sisters there are." Say a name to save us, and you'll make a lot of money. ”
"It's all said, don't call me dick. The blonde boy was completely furious.
"Got it, dict. ”
......
"Dad, what's wrong? What are you and sister laughing at?" Lan Lan looked at Soou suspiciously, she really couldn't understand why her father and sister couldn't stop laughing when they heard the name "Gai Zhonggai".
"Lan Lan, you are still young, you don't understand. Gaizhonggai is a kind of medicine, you look at Grandpa Claude in the village, he is so old and in good health because he has eaten Gaizhonggai. Solo explained with a smile.
"That's right. Lan Lan nodded in understanding.
"Okay, okay, I know your names, so let's ask the second thing. Solo laughed enough and then asked, "I don't think this town has any guarding power at all, and now is really the time when the dragons are raging, what are you doing to resist the invasion of the dragons?"
"Dragons?" Three boys, you look at me, I look at you, my eyes full of doubt.
