Chapter 244 Blame the chariot for being too attractive
"You actually took your sister to the garbage dump to challenge the Giant Rat King?"
Standing under the giant rat's corpse, the tavern owner stepped on the giant rat king's face with one foot and scolded Zhang Wei's nose with his fingers.
"You actually took your sister to the garbage dump to challenge the Giant Rat King!"
As soon as Zhang Weigang said "hmm", he was slapped in the face with a glove.
The tavern owner who took the glove in his hand was so angry that the scar on his face shook, and he looked really angry.
But Gu Huai knew that most of this anger was directed at him.
He pretended to persuade: "Forget it, kid."
Except for Gu Muxi, everyone looked back at him as if they had seen a ghost.
Gu Huai thought it was understandable. After all, the original owner was a lunatic, and he was not. He could understand how difficult it was for the tavern owner to raise two children.
Especially among these two children, no one is smart.
Seeing that Gu Huai really had no intention of pursuing the matter further, the tavern owner gave Zhang Wei a look and told him to get out of here. Zhang Wei hurriedly pulled the other two people away.
Gu Muxi stood far away, like a robot that had run out of power.
The tavern owner took out two cigars from his pocket and handed one to Gu Huai.
Gu Huai refused, and the tavern owner didn't force him. He put away his cigars, lit one himself and squatted next to the giant rat's corpse.
"Zhang Wei was probably just over three years old when I picked them two up from the orphanage."
The tavern owner took a puff of his cigar and blew out the smoke: "At that time, he was holding his sister and squatting on top of the ruins of the orphanage, surrounded by the bodies of other people.
They are the only two still alive."
Gu Huai squatted next to him, looking at the giant rat's corpse in a daze.
"I walked up to Zhang Wei and squatted next to him, and he bit her in one bite, still protecting his sister tightly in his hand." The tavern owner said, "At that time, I felt that this little wolf cub could be raised.
like me."
The tavern owner, who was lost in memories, smiled bitterly: "Unfortunately, they were the only two children who survived in that battle."
He rambled on, talking about a lot of things from the past, and turned to look at Gu Huai, who was still in a daze looking at the giant rat.
"Crazy Gu?" The tavern owner pushed Gu Huai, "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Huai said: "How about roasting this giant rat? It would be a waste to leave it here."
Tavern owner:......
After co-writing him for a long time, Gu Huai didn't listen to a word, he was thinking about something else entirely?
His stomach rumbled twice, and the tavern owner cursed in his mind, "Don't tell me, I'm really damn hungry!"
Gu Muxi's super execution ability has been fully utilized.
According to Huai Huai's statement, she dismembered the giant rat and gave the meat to Zhang Wei and several others, asking them to light a fire and barbecue in the yard behind the tavern.
Zhang Wei swallowed his saliva and asked, "Is this thing really edible?"
He has never eaten a rat in a garbage dump. If he can really eat it, he must keep this secret to death. If others know that giant rats can still be eaten, the giant rats must be eaten until they are extinct.
"Wouldn't you know after you taste it first?" Li San said.
After saying that, he regretted it. Smelling the aroma of meat in the air, he felt that it was worth eating to death.
But the tavern owner stood beside them, watching Gu Huai who was instructing Gu Muxi to play with the giant rat bones.
He asked Gu Muxi to cut the bones into various shapes and assemble them. He couldn't help but wonder: "What is this?"
Gu Huai smiled: "Nothing, just something for children to play with."
The chariot made of giant rat bones was shoveled, and a wall of the tavern collapsed.
Tavern owner:???
Is this what children play with? Their children play with this?
The meat in Zhang Wei's hand fell to the ground. He thought the giant rat bone chariot was so cool that the meat in his hand no longer tasted good.
Zhang Tan was already standing under the giant rat chariot: "Sister Mu Xi, I want to play too, please take me with you."
The tavern owner walked up to Gu Huai and wanted to discuss with him whether he could go up there and experience it. When he heard Zhang Tan calling, he suddenly didn't want to try.
It seemed like he had never seen the market before.
"If we can get energy, we can be stronger." Gu Huai said to him intentionally or unintentionally.
The tavern does not doubt Gu Huai's statement.
This man is a scientific lunatic. He can lie to people about anything, but it is impossible to do this. He said that if there is energy, it will be stronger, that is, it will be stronger.
But energy is not so easy to obtain.
The energy source Gu Huai mentioned is a type of magic, but magic is prohibited in the lower city.
This is not a deliberate method used by the people in the upper city, but the lower city has not been able to use magic since its existence. It is as if they were cursed, and they were born inferior.
If the people in the lower city want to obtain energy, they either need a lot of money or a lot of lives.
It's a pity that they have nothing.
"I'm going to try the Lower City area at night. You can help me get a pass."
The tavern owner's eyes widened: "Are you crazy? Even I don't dare to touch Yexia City, and you are going up to seek death? Who do you think you are? You are just a pile of broken bones. If you take it away, others will have to tear it apart.
Your bones!”
The tavern owner didn't lie.
He has a high status in the wealthy area of Downtown, but not by wealth, but by risking his life.
After the wealthy areas are closed at night, Night City will be opened. This is the place where the power of the lower city is most concentrated, and many people from the upper city sometimes come to look for excitement.
Regardless of identity or status here, everyone is equal as long as they enter.
In other words, anyone can die suddenly at any time.
In Yexia City, it is possible to get rich overnight, go bankrupt overnight, become famous overnight, or die suddenly overnight.
"It doesn't matter." Gu Huai said. "You just need to help me get a pass."
The tavern owner spat at him, but still agreed with him: "Here, how many do you want?"
Gu Huai: "Two or four."
The tavern owner agreed without asking too many questions. He also didn't ask Gu Huai for money. He only had one request:
He wants Gu Huai's bone chariot.
Gu Huai told him not to dream.
The tavern owner took a step back: "Then get some small ones and get me a chariot."
Gu Huai concluded the deal.
The tavern owner turned around and grabbed meat from the oven rack, muttering to himself.
Madman Gu has never been very popular. Even if he takes Gu Muxi with him, he only needs two tickets. Why would he need four? Who are the other two tickets for? Could it be that he has other crushes?
"Oh, by the way." Gu Huai took a bite of the giant rat meat and thought it tasted pretty good. "You pack up tonight and come with me."
Tavern owner:???
Are you crazy? When did he say he wanted to go with Gu Huai?
"Just now." Gu Huai said slowly, "I added the conditions when you asked for the chariot, and you happily sold yourself to me."
The tavern owner swore to God that he never did this. Gu Huai forced him to do it. He glanced at the chariot secretly and swallowed.
