Chapter Eighty-Seven: An Invitation to a Duel
After ten days of br> and with Zhang Zhengfan's intelligence, after the little girl taught Zhang Zhengfan the rules of pronunciation of the language, Zhang Zhengfan finally mastered the Mooran language with the help of the books robbed in the bookstore. At least I can already have a normal conversation with the little girl.
In the past ten days, the friendship between the little girl and Zhang Zhengfan has become stronger and stronger. It's strange to say that the little girl doesn't think Zhang Zhengfan is a bad person. What kind of thinking is this? Zhang Zhengfan did not understand. But the little girl is very good to him, so he is also very good to the little girl. This is Zhang Zhengfan's simple philosophy of life.
The little girl's mother never went to the rooftop. But Zhang Zhengfan knew that this Moorian woman knew that she existed.
Because these days, the little girl will come up with a small basket. In the morning, there is breakfast in the basket, and in the evening, there is dinner in the basket. Occasionally, there is still some fruit in the basket.
Since the Mooran woman didn't dare to come up, Zhang Zhengfan naturally wouldn't be stupid and went down to chat with someone.
Therefore, in addition to playing with the little girl and talking together, Zhang Zhengfan is reading, anyway, he grabbed a lot of books, and the purpose of robbing it was not to learn more about the social situation of Mor'an?
The search of the Moors seemed to be over, which made Zhang Zhengfan very strange and didn't know why this was happening.
The heavily armed soldiers and security officers in the streets were withdrawn, and the fortifications built at the street corners were demolished. The Moors have shown great efficiency in this regard, and even facilities such as shops, which were previously almost completely closed, are now fully open.
Aren't the Morians afraid to rob them again?
At noon that day, Zhang Zhengfan sat in a backlit corner of the rooftop wall, looking at the streets and cities that had gradually recovered their popularity under his feet, and suddenly remembered a sentence that he had never understood in his previous life: "No matter how deep the wounds of war are, people can always get rid of the shadows and resume their lives as quickly as possible." ”
Although one's own actions cannot be called war, is his destructive power really so worthless?
Just when Zhang Zhengfan was thinking wildly, a rush of footsteps came.
Zhang Zhengfan frowned, because this was obviously not the footsteps of the little girl, and it seemed to be a ...... to listen to the movement My lord.
And at this time, the little girl should go to class. The school was closed because of his presence, but it has returned to normal three days ago. So, who is the one who will come to the top floor at this time?
The iron door of the rooftop was pushed open, and it was the beautiful Moorian woman who came.
The Moorian woman clutched her chest, panting, but her eyes were already anxiously searching the rooftop.
"Are you looking for me?" Zhang Zhengfan came out of the shadows, if he wanted to hide, ordinary Moorians would not even want to find him.
The Mooran woman, looking at Zhang Zhengfan, opened her mouth with an extremely anxious expression and said, "They took Mary away." ”
"Who?" Zhang Zhengfan frowned: "Who took Mary away, and why did you take her?"
"Thurinka's fox friends, they went to Mary's school and took Mary away!" the beautiful woman's sad eyes filled with tears: "They told me to go to the bar to find them." ”
Zhang Zhengfan nodded, and handed the beautiful woman a handkerchief, which he had snatched a lot of in the clothing store.
"Thank you!" the beautiful woman bowed her head and wiped her tears: "I am not afraid to go to them, but I am afraid that if I go to them, I will not be able to save Mary." They...... They're a bunch of villains!"
"Rest assured, no one can hurt Mary. Zhang Zhengfan smiled slightly, and then asked, "Where is the bar?"
"Hahahaha!" Not far from the skyscraper where Zhang Zhengfan was, there was a deserted speakeasy, and at this time, seven or eight strong men with red and white tattoos were drinking and making noise in the bar. Apart from a few of them, there were no customers in the bar, not even a bartender.
"Boss, can you let me have a taste when Heixi comes?" said a big man to the one-eyed dragon sitting at the bar.
"Get out!" the one-eyed dragon spat hard. Spat at the feet of the big man: "Lao Tzu has been greedy for a long time, none of you have a share!" looked around coldly, even if he only had one eye left, the rest of the big man involuntarily lowered their heads.
Mary was tied hand and foot, half-leaning and half-reclining on a shabby couch. Her mouth had been gagged with a rag, and she looked angrily at the villain's father's fox friends and dogs, struggling with her hands and feet.
"Little girl, don't worry!" A big man with a bad mouthful, while taking a big sip of wine, reached out and stroked Little Mary's legs, and smiled extremely obscenely: "Wait a while, the boss will play with your mother, and we will play with you!"
"Why hasn't Peter's stinky boy come yet?
"Hmph!" Sure enough, when the one-eyed dragon heard this, he slammed his glass, scattering the broken glass all over the ground.
"Gollum!" rolled something in from the gap under the bar's dilapidated barricade door, and rolled straight down the bar floor in front of a few people.
"Peter?!" several big men couldn't help but exclaim after seeing this thing clearly.
A human head, Peter's head.
Before their screams could stop, the door shook suddenly, and then fanned back and forth, making a "creaking, creaking" sound.
"Poof!" the rotten man who had been sitting next to little Mary gushed a fountain of blood from his neck, and his head flew over the bar.
"Smack!" The man with the ring of lips suddenly froze, and then his body slowly parted from the middle, and he fell to the ground.
At this time, little Mary, who was originally on the dilapidated sofa, was gone.
"Who?" the one-eyed dragon looked frightened and took a defensive posture, while the remaining big men were already crawling out of the bar.
"Puff, puff、......" The sound of chopping melons and vegetables, the strong men who were only a few steps away from the door of the bar, were all frozen. Their heads fluttered in the sky, and they couldn't seem to understand why their bodies were so far away from them.
The rain of blood rained down in the bar, and soon a large area of thick monkey plasma formed on the ground.
The one-eyed man has been stained with the blood of his companions. He looked around vigilantly, "Who's coming out!, sneaky, not a good man!" The one-eyed dragon hissed and roared with all his might, but did not dare to move a single step.
"Smack!" a broken glass of a wine glass appeared in the other eye of the cyclops.
The one-eyed dragon let out a heart-rending wail, and then ......, "No more."
Black Cloak ...... Zhang Zhengfan, who covered his face in a shadow with a huge hood, took Little Mary's hand and walked on the way home. Of course, even their hands held together...... It's all tightly covered by cloaks.
Although passers-by occasionally gave them a puzzled look, no one bothered them.
Little Mary's face was very pale, but her eyes were bright! Biting her lip, she would look at the figure hidden in the darkness from time to time.
"Don't look around when you walk, you'll fall. Zhang Zhengfan took Little Mary's hand and said lightly.
Turning a corner, they were not far from the building where they lived, and the street was much more deserted...... At least now they are around...... No one has a job
"I heard from my classmates today...... The Lord's Mansion raised the red duel flag ten days ago. Little Mary bit her lip and said softly.
"The duel flag, which represents a signal that one party invites the other to a duel. It was a legal means for the nobility to deal with disputes. There are blue, black, red trio colors. They represent point to point, serious injury and death. Zhang Zhengfan thought for a while, and then began to endorse. The source seems to be a book called "The Encyclopedia of Morian Traditional Etiquette".
"Who are you leaders going to duel with?" Zhang Zhengfan asked curiously, after finishing his book.
"If your classmates weren't lying, it should be you!" Little Mary showed maturity beyond her peers: "Because since the duel flag was raised in the Lord's Palace, all searches for you have been lifted. It seems that the lord has also issued a notice to tell everyone to stay calm and not to use force against you. Little Mary tilted her shoulders: "It's just that I don't have an information screen at home, so we don't know." ”
"Oh. Zhang Zhengfan nodded and didn't say anything.
"I wanted to go home and tell you the news...... Little Mary said, "So I ran home before class ended." But on the way, I saw the bad guys. A few of them had been in the house when that bastard dad was around. I remember having that one-eyed villain. ”
Zhang Zhengfan was silent for a long time...... Puzzled, he asked, "How did your mother marry your father?"
Little Mary looked at Zhang Zhengfan and shook her head: "I don't know!"
Zhang Zhengfan immediately scolded himself for being an idiot, when Mary's mother married Mary's father, there was no Mary, how could she know.
Smiling self-deprecatingly, Zhang Zhengfan looked at the building in front of him, and then let go of Little Mary's hand: "Go up by yourself, your mother is waiting for you at home." ”
"What about you?" Little Mary seemed to think of something, and her little hand tightly grasped Zhang Zhengfan's cloak: "I don't allow you to duel with the lord." ”
"Then why did you tell me the news?" Zhang Zhengfan looked at no one on the left and right, squatted down, looked at little Mary and asked.
"Because mom says good children should be honest. If I don't tell you the news, I'm not honest...... Little Mary shook her head.
"Then why don't you let me go to a duel. Zhang Zhengfan touched Mary's head: "I'm very good, I won't lose." ”
"I know...... Little Mary nodded again and again, and then said, "But the lord is a good person, and my mother said that if there was no lord, we would not even have to eat." Brother Fan, you are a good person, and the lord is also a good person, so I don't allow you to duel. ”
Zhang Zhengfan looked at Little Mary, who was holding on to her cloak with a serious face, and suddenly felt a little at a loss.
It stands to reason that he shouldn't have had anything to do with the Morians. But the appearance of Little Mary made himself a little stressed. It seems that the Morians are not all wicked people who deserve to die. There are also good people among them.
This is very contradictory to the mentality, he hates the Moorians, but now it is a fact that he has accepted the help of little Mary. Isn't little Mary a Moorian?
What a mess this is!
