Chapter 56: Death Queen Island
Seeing that Ma Xiaoming didn't continue to move, the straw hat man's courage grew again: "Then, so what, I saved your life, shouldn't you repay me?"
Ma Xiaoming's head was big in an instant, with his physical fitness, even if no one saved him, he would inevitably wake up within a few days, and now he really had no choice but to say: "Forget it, don't worry about you, how do you want me to repay." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Afraid that he opened his mouth, he waved his fist again, "Hey, you want to talk about it clearly, there is an old saying in my hometown, called 'En Da becomes an enemy'." ”
However, in the end, he underestimated the shamelessness of the straw hat man, and saw him say shamelessly: "Well, I will save your life, you have to become my slave and work for me for ten years." ”
A cold light shot out of Ma Xiaoming's eyes: "Then I'm sorry, do you have any evidence to prove that you saved me?"
"Hey, what are you going to do, ouch, it hurts......"
"Six years, no less ......"
......
After a series of "peaceful" negotiations, the straw hat man "happily" accepted Ma Xiaoming's agreement to repay the favor for a year's farm work.
――――――
"Hey, Esme, how long have you been on Death Queen Island?" Ma Xiaoming was doing farm work with the blonde girl, leaving the little girl with the work of feeding the fodder, and picking up the hoe and turning the ground himself.
"It's been more than half a year. "The little girl is diligent and diligent, not lazy at all, tired and sweaty, but still does not rest. It's like Ma Xiaoming, who took a break from doing farm work for a while, but after all, his physical fitness was there, and after half a day, all the land was turned over.
"Brother Ming, how did you faint on the beach?" After feeding the cows, after a while, the little girl sat on a stone next to Ma Xiaoming.
"Well, I heard that I could become a Saint Seiya here, so I came by boat, and when I was about to arrive, I was shipwrecked, and then I fell into the sea, and then I was rescued by you. Ma Xiaoming casually made up a reason, but it was always a little uneasy to deceive the little girl.
"Brother, why do you want to become a Saint Seiya?" The blonde girl had heard the legend of the Saint Seiya, but she didn't know the specifics.
Ma Xiaoming smiled: "Because you can have great power." Just like Esme, if you have great power, you can control your own destiny. ”
The little girl was a little lost: "Then it must be very difficult to become a Saint Seiya, only a strong person like Big Brother can become a Saint Seiya." "In the eyes of the little girl, being able to defeat the rich straw hat man is probably the strongest.
Ma Xiaoming comforted: "Esmei, the strength of a truly powerful person lies in the inside, not the strength of the external body, and you are also a strong person." ”
The blonde girl was happy all of a sudden: "Although I know that Brother Ming is comforting me, I am still very happy in my heart." ”
Through chatting, Ma Xiaoming learned about the background of Esmeralda, a poor little girl from a poor family on a small island near Death Queen Island, and as soon as she was seven years old, she was sold to Death Queen Island for the price of three bags of wheat flour.
Looking at the little girl's bright smile, Ma Xiaoming's mood also improved.
But soon this good mood was ruined.
"Esmeralda, you slacker, have you fed the pigs again, have you given the cows good water? The cows and pigs are worth more than you! Don't forget, you are only a slave I bought with three sacks of cereal, slave!" the disgusting voice of the straw hat sounded.
"Hey, I've fed it. The little girl's smile vanished, and she lowered her head and whispered in defense.
"You, do you still dare to talk back, these are done, you can go to the farmland, there is still so much wasteland on the island?" Apparently he didn't expect Esmei to dare to fight back, the straw hat man was furious, and the whip in his hand was about to be waved down again.
Ma Xiaoming immediately stood in front of the little girl and reprimanded: "Old man, you are enough, from today onwards, Esmei is no longer your slave, and this piece of gold is enough to redeem her." The palm of his hand was spread out, revealing the gold that had been secretly taken out of the spatial baggage before. The size of a golden bird's egg, the straw hat man saw the golden light in his eyes, and he didn't know that saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth.
finally woke up, and said again and again: "Enough, enough, it is naturally enough to redeem her, and you don't have to repay the favor." After speaking, he suddenly came to his senses, felt that he had suffered a loss, and immediately continued: "Well, well, this piece of gold is just enough to redeem Esmeralda...... You take out another piece, and you don't have to repay the favor. ”
Ma Xiaoming sneered: "If the gold is gone, there is a pair of fists, do you want it?" After speaking, he smashed a stone on the edge of the field with one punch.
The straw hat man was bluffed, and he snorted: "Hmm, don't want it, don't want it...... and hurriedly walk away.
The blonde girl next to her had a complicated expression on her face at this time, and Ma Xiaoming smiled and said, "Aismei, you will be free from today onwards, do you want me to send you home and go back to reunite with your family!"
The little girl whispered: "If you go home, you will be sold again soon......" Ma Xiaoming knew that what Esmei said was likely to come true, and was silent for a while.
Suddenly, the little girl looked up at him and said hopefully, "Brother, let me follow you, I will marry you as a bride when I grow up." ”
Ma Xiaoming smiled bitterly: "My brother has something very important to do, it's very dangerous, I can't take you with me." The little girl lowered her head in disappointment, and after a while there seemed to be a choked voice.
Ouch, how did you make the little girl cry, Ma Xiaoming instantly felt that his head was bigger, coaxed her repeatedly, and finally promised that she would not leave her before giving up.
――――――
On this day, a child named Ikki came to Death Queen Island, he came from Dongying and went to Death Queen Island to receive Saint Seiya training. At the same time, Ma Xiaoming's main quest was finally announced.
Main Quest: Saint Seiya Training
Content: Complete the Death Queen's Island training.
Reward: Break the barrier of the strong.
Seeing this task, Ma Xiaoming felt a little entangled. It seems that the main god did not arrange for him to join the training, such as a Saint Seiya candidate or something, which means that he has to find a way to join by himself.
――――――
"Alas, the woman is not staying. It's only been a year, and Ichiki is already having a good time with the little blonde girl.
"Obviously, I said before that I would marry ...... when I grow up" Ma Xiaoming shook his head violently, and swam out of the whirlpool of sister control with difficulty.
However, seeing the heartfelt smile on Esmei's face, Ma Xiaoming felt a lot more cheerful, and couldn't help but sigh: "Pure feelings...... What a wonder......"
