At night, Shiluhe lay on the hotel bed and fell asleep soundly, but Ye Ze was not sleepy at all, wandering blindly on the street under the starlight.
Relying on the ability of the immortal body, he not only survived in the deciduous swamp for two years, but his strength also increased by leaps and bounds. However, in the past two years, Ye Ze always felt that something was wrong. Especially after the immortal body came into effect many times, he felt uneasy
The feeling is getting stronger, but I don’t know what it is.
When Ye Ze, who had been thinking so wildly, came to his senses, his brows furrowed even more tightly because Ye Ze realized that he seemed to be lost.
Malti Fort is a military fortress. Although there are civilians living there, there is a curfew at night. It is not yet the curfew time, but the streets and alleys are basically empty. Even if you want to find someone to ask for directions, you can't. If it continues like this
If you wander around for a while, you will be arrested by the city guards.
Yeze was not afraid of those soldiers, but Xiluhe kept emphasizing safety first to Yeze, which annoyed Yeze. Even if the old man was less nagging, Yeze did not want to conflict with the city guards.
When Ye Ze was wondering whether he should run to the roof to find a way, the door of a house on the left front was suddenly pushed halfway, and a small head poked out from inside, looked around, and then rushed towards Ye Ze
shouted softly:
"Hey, hello...outsider..."
Yeze was stunned for a moment, pointed to his nose, and asked, "Call me?"
Although the light was relatively dim, Ye Ze could see clearly that she was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. Why was a little girl calling a bearded uncle this late at night?
The little girl nodded vigorously and continued: "Hurry, come in quickly. There will be a curfew soon, and you will be in trouble if the guards see you."
Ye Ze suddenly realized and felt a warmth in his heart. He ran over and ducked into the house on his side.
………………
After Ye Ze entered the house, he first smelled a strong smell of medicine.
In front of the stove, a bowl of dark medicinal liquid was boiling on a simple small stove. With the faint light of the fire, Ye Ze looked around.
The room is not big, only about five or six square meters. It has a stove, a rice vat, a dilapidated cupboard, a lame table against the corner, and three simple stools. That's everything in the room. In the room
There was a cubicle on one side of the room, with a half-open curtain. It was dark inside, and it was hard to see anything. But Ye Ze could feel that someone was resting in the room, and judging from the rhythm of his breathing, the bowl of medicine was probably for
The people in the house suffered.
"Uncle, are you a foreigner?" The little girl with long curly hair asked Ye Ze with wide eyes.
Yeze looked at this little girl who looked like a porcelain doll, and laughed dumbly, saying, "Yes, I just entered the city today and accidentally got lost."
"You are indeed too careless." The little girl said: "There is a curfew here at night, and those who violate it will be arrested. You can stay here for the night and leave tomorrow morning when the curfew is lifted."
"Thank you..." Ye Ze acted very gentlemanly.
"You're welcome." The little girl stretched out her hand and said, "Two swords."
"Ah?" Yeze was stunned for a moment.
"Ah what?" the little girl said matter-of-factly: "I let you hide in with good intentions, but you must be too embarrassed not to give me a knife."
Ye Ze was stunned for a moment with his mouth open, then subconsciously touched his pocket, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, the money is all on my companions. On me..."
The little girl looked Ye Ze up and down, retracted her little hand, and said calmly: "As long as you don't default on the bill, you can send it to me tomorrow. You should be a gentleman, and you should not be so ungraceful. You owe me a
Madam’s money.”
Yeze could only nodded speechlessly and accepted the gentleman's evaluation.
The little girl turned around and walked into the house, took a blanket and came out again.
"Uncle, we don't have extra beds here, only the table." The little girl handed the blanket to Yeze, and then pointed to the table in the corner: "The table is very clean, I usually sleep there. But you are too tall
It was so high that I couldn't lie down, so I had to sleep on my stomach. By the way, the usage fee for the blanket is a knife."
"..."
Yeze looked at the lame table and asked, "But what will you do if I sleep there?"
The little girl smiled sweetly: "I still have to make medicine, because I can't sleep at night."
"The medicine won't last all night..." Ye Ze shook his head, looked around, and walked straight to the woodpile next to the stove. After tidying up a little, he sat down and leaned against the woodpile.
, said: "I think this is better than the table, I'll sleep here."
The little girl seemed to be hesitant, bit her finger, and then said: "Then... well, I'll give you one less knife."
"Susan..."
Before Ye Ze could speak, a weak voice suddenly came from the room.
"coming……"
The little girl used a cloth to cushion the medicine bowl, and very skillfully took the medicine bowl off the fire, and then poured it into another bowl. Then she took out a candle and carefully carried the medicine bowl into the back room.
"Uncle Hill, you're awake, drink the medicine quickly..."
"Hey, you kid, you brought a stranger into your home again. What if..."
"That bearded uncle is not a bad person. I have been observing him for a long time. Besides, Uncle Carter is next door, and there are so many patrols outside..."
"Ahem...it's all my fault."
"Okay, okay, it won't happen next time, please drink the medicine..."
………………
Hearing the conversation in the room, Ye Ze suddenly felt his nose was a little sore.
There are no relatives in this world, but the warmth in the bones is still there. After the faces of his parents and sister flashed, Uncle Feng also flashed in Yeze's mind.
"Haha, why do you think of this old guy..." Yeze smiled mockingly, but the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
"You haven't slept yet." The little girl named Susan walked out of the room.
"Oh, right away." Yeze yawned as if to hide it, turned his back and curled up with the blanket.
Although the blanket was a little worn, it was washed very clean, and there was a faint girly scent on it. It was probably what Susan usually used to sleep on, but now it was given to Ye Ze.
Susan looked at Yeze, which seemed a little strange, but she was indeed very tired. She packed her things, stretched out and lay on the table, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Yeze stood up slowly, quietly walked over and covered little Susan with a blanket, and then tiptoed back.
Ye Ze leaned against the wall, silently looking at the sleeping little girl who was obsessed with money, and secretly wondered in his heart.
When I go back in the morning, I will dig some money out of the hands of the old miser Shiruch. Just treat it as an advance salary...
Early the next morning, before little Susan woke up, Yeze quietly opened the door and left. At this time, there was no one on the street. When he reached the street, he saw a fat man in rich clothes and four servants.
people are coming towards me.
"Don't get it wrong. If you get it wrong, the young master will blame you. I don't know how many layers of skin you have... Walk faster, you are dragging your feet, everyone is like a pig..." The fat man gave a strange lesson as he walked.
With servants.
Ye Ze originally wanted to say hello to the fat man and ask him how to get to the hotel. Seeing the guy's arrogant look, he gave up on this stupid idea.
Except for the fat man, Ye Ze met other residents of Maltiburg who were very enthusiastic. Under the guidance along the way, Ye Ze quickly returned to the hotel where he stayed yesterday. At this time, Shiluhe had not yet woken up.
Ye Ze thought for a while and gave up the plan of waking up the dean. Instead, he used his skills honed in the fallen leaf swamp to steal the dean's wallet quietly.
The common currency of the continent of Zerbister is the Daur, a very strong coin.
On top of the knife are silver coins, gold coins, silver cards, gold cards, and diamond cards. One silver card is equivalent to one million dollars, ten silver cards are equal to one gold card, and ten gold cards are equal to one diamond card.
Yeze thought about it, since Shiruch is the dean, even if he doesn't have diamond cards, gold cards, and silver cards, he should have a few. At least, there should be a few gold coins.
But when he finished looking through Xiluhe's wallet, Ye Ze had a look of contempt on his face. No wonder he was so picky, he was too poor. Not to mention whether the card was stuck or not, even if the knife was very few, he could not surpass it even if he counted it.
Two thousand knives. If it weren't for the beast demon who could travel on his behalf, this little money wouldn't be enough to cover the journey.
Ye Ze thought for a moment and took out more than half, which was about fifteen hundred dollars. This was not a lot of money, but it was not too little for an ordinary civilian family.
When returning to the hotel, Ye Ze was extra cautious and specifically asked for the name of the street where Susan lived. Otherwise, Ye Ze, a road nut, would not have been able to find his way back.
But when Ye Ze ran to his destination, he was still confused. Did he go the wrong way? Why were there so many people?
When Ye Ze walked, he remembered clearly that this place is called a street, but it is actually a road between the back doors of two rows of shops. The road is very narrow. The so-called houses are simple warehouses built next to those shops. Most of the houses are used to store sundries.
There were only a few houses where poor people like Susan lived.
But now, the narrow alley was crowded with people. When Ye Ze stepped up and looked around, they were all filled with human heads.
What are you doing? Going to the market?
Ye Ze looked around, wondering if he could find another way. If he wasn't afraid of causing any commotion, Ye Ze would have really wanted to step on someone's head.
"Today is also strange. It was just a fight. The city guards didn't come, but the guards of the general's palace did. It's been so long, why haven't they come out yet..."
The murmurs of the onlookers made Ye Ze's heart skip a beat.
Xiluhe was afraid that Yeze would cause trouble, so he told Yeze a lot of things to pay attention to after entering the city. The guards of the General's Mansion are different from the city guards. They are all close associates of the General, and their combat power is far beyond that of ordinary soldiers. They are all elites.
The elite among.
Since they are elites, they don't have to go out for an ordinary fight. Could something have happened?
Ye Ze suddenly felt worried about little Susan.
Although the little girl is a little obsessed with money, she is kind-hearted, and her obsession with money is also for the sick elders in the family.
If there are really evil people inside, little Susan's situation is not good. What if she is taken as a hostage...
Ye Ze has watched too many bloody blockbusters, and a little girl like Susan is the perfect choice for a hostage.
Yeze took a few steps back to see that no one was paying attention to him. He stamped his feet on the ground and jumped up to the house next to him. After that, Yeze ducked and jumped over several houses in a row.
I saw what was going on inside.
The guards were divided into two groups. One group blocked the onlookers on the outside, while the other group occupied both sides of the alleyway inside, confronting a young warrior in the middle. There was a fat man stepping on the warrior's feet, and a sharp long sword was placed on the fat man's neck.
The alleyway is very long and somewhat curved, so the guards and onlookers outside cannot see what is going on inside.
The guards inside were obviously trying to scare away the enemy. They only waved their weapons to intimidate, but they did not dare to take action easily.
Eh? Isn’t that Hickory?
Ye Zeki has always been a very loyal person, and Hickory in particular left a deep impression on him.
Dogmatic character, good courage, excellent archery...
Hickli stood at the door of a house. The door had been broken into pieces, and a small head was looming inside, watching Hickli nervously.
Little Susan!?
Ye Ze was a little dazed. What kind of drama was this? A hero saving a beauty? However, these two little guys seemed to be a good match...
While Ye Ze was thinking wildly, a man who looked like an army officer walked out of the crowd and stood still in front of Hickli.
Hickory snapped: "Back off!"
The officer said solemnly: "You'd better let Mr. Sangxi go, otherwise..."
"Pfft..." Without blinking, Hickory cut off one of the fat man's ears with a sword.
Amid the pitiful howl like a slaughtering pig, Hickory raised his eyelids and said, "Back off!"
"You..." The officer was stunned and furious.
But as Hickly moved the sword to the fat man's other ear, the officer could only stamp his feet angrily and retreated back to the soldiers.
Ye Ze secretly stretched out his thumb, he has the guts!
