Watermelon shop.

Since Xigua's store opened, it has only had a few customers occasionally. The store's income can still make a little money without losing money. Although the previous advertising was very strong, after all, the location of the store

It's relatively remote, so it's quite satisfactory to be able to achieve such a profit. However, there seem to be a lot of customers today.

When Xie Feng and others avoided several customers who had just left the store and walked into the store, Cromwell was busy, calculating accounts and talking to a customer. There were also a bunch of things waiting to be put on the shelves next to them.

goods. In addition, during the year there were several customers casually looking at the goods on the shelves.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Cromwell immediately shouted: "Welcome, please take a look...ah? Is this your lord?"

Xie Feng smiled and nodded, and said: "It's not bad. It turns out that the store can be busy as long as you are alone. Now I can fire Eric and save a lot of money."

Before Eric could complain, Cromwell smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, please stop joking with me, I'm so busy... Miss Cecilia, please take over this account and calculate it; Eric

Gram, please help replenish the stock - Hey, customer, the wool you just mentioned you want is not available in our store yet. If you are not in a hurry, I can help you contact the traveling caravan, and it will arrive in about a week. Please leave a message

Please enter your address and we will have someone deliver the items to your door..."

The guest nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left.

Cecilia, who was checking the accounts, looked at the account book and suddenly said in surprise: "Ah! In the past few days when I was away, my income seemed to be as much as the previous half month."

Cromwell smiled, and then said: "It's okay. After you all left, I asked Dante to advertise for us in the tavern and also spread the news: our store will randomly select some products for sale every day.

, and those discounted products are basically sold at a price slightly higher than the cost. In this way, many more people will naturally come to take a look every day. If they happen to encounter a discounted product that is exactly what they need, most of them will

Will buy it, and it also drives the sale of other non-discounted products.”

Xie Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, isn't this a marketing method that will only be used by supermarkets a few hundred years from now? I don't see that you have some talent in business."

Cromwell scratched his head in embarrassment and said modestly: "I'm just applying some of the psychological skills I learned when I was studying... Ah! That's right!" Cromwell suddenly said seriously:

"Last night when it was about to close, a dark and thin old man came to the store. He was seriously injured and covered in blood. He said he was looking for Miss Cecilia."

"Ah!" Cecilia screamed and said, "Could it be his adoptive father?"

Xie Feng quickly asked: "Where is the person now?"

Cromwell said: "I said I would call a doctor for him, but he refused, so I could only apply some medicine on him and simply bandage the wound, then helped him to rest on Eric's bed."

Upon hearing this, Cecilia immediately rushed into the staff dormitory located inside the store.

As soon as he opened the door, a foul smell of blood hit his nostrils, and he saw Li Wu lying weakly on Eric's bed. As Cromwell said, the blood all over his body was gone. It was probably because his body had been cleaned.

At this time, Li Wu closed his eyes tightly, frowned, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans continued to appear on his body.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Li Wu seemed to wake up and said with difficulty: "Is it...Cecilia...?"

Cecilia's eyes suddenly turned red, and she immediately rushed forward, shouting urgently: "Father, it's me... What's wrong with you?"

Xie Feng stepped forward and pulled away the quilt from Li Wu. He looked at the dense wounds on Li Wu's exposed upper body and frowned, "They were wounds caused by sharp weapons such as swords." Strange,

Li Wu, whose body was as good as his own, could be so seriously injured, and those wounds seemed to be caused by the same weapon, which meant that it was the same person who caused such injuries to Li Wu.

At this time, Cromwell shouted: "Miss Cecilia, no matter what, give him treatment first? It seems that he has started to have a high fever."

Cecilia immediately woke up after hearing this and ran out of the room.

An hour later, Li Wu's condition had improved a lot. Although he was still weak, he could at least open his eyes and speak fluently.

Xie Feng first asked: "Old man, who hurt you so badly?"

Li Wu sighed softly and said, "It has nothing to do with you."

Xie Feng said: "If you are an enemy, please tell me, maybe I can still help."

Cromwell asked curiously: "My lord, are you not..."

Eric explained: "The boss is actually very skilled in martial arts. His appearance before was actually just an act."

When Li Wu heard this, he was slightly surprised and said: "Your body..."

Xie Feng coughed twice, and then said: "That's what happened anyway... Tell me, who made you suffer such a serious injury? Although I usually don't think much of you, but after all, you are kind to me and know your kindness.

I still understand the principle of retribution."

Li Wu shook his head and said, "It's useless. You'd better not know some things."

Xie Feng frowned and said, "Could it be that the person who hurt you is so powerful in martial arts that even me... ahem, even ordinary people can't afford to offend him?"

Li Wu sighed, and then said: "You'd better not ask, there are some things you'd better not know - at least I think you still don't know now."

…

In Weiyeha Castle, a Swadian soldier hurriedly came to the door of the master's room in the castle and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are ready and can attack Sharez at any time."

Seeing the silence in the room, the soldier asked again: "Your Majesty?"

"Well..." Charlotte's voice came from the room: "Tell them that the attack time will be changed to tomorrow."

The soldier was stunned and said: "Your Majesty! The soldiers are already gearing up to prepare for the siege. If the battle is rescheduled, it may have a negative impact on morale, which will make the soldiers' fighting spirit lower next time...

"

Charlotte said impatiently: "I said it would be clear tomorrow...ah!" Suddenly, Charlotte let out a painful howl.

The soldier was shocked when he heard this, and immediately opened the door and rushed in.

I saw Charlotte sitting on the bed with her upper body naked, her skin as white and tender as snow was covered with many bright red scars. Most of those scars had begun to form bruises, but there were still several particularly deep scars, which were still there.

Blood was constantly coming out. And a maid next to Charlotte was working hard to apply medicine on these wounds to stop the bleeding.

I don't know whether it was because he saw Charlotte's naked body or the shocking scars on Charlotte's body. The soldier was stunned and stammered: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Charlotte suddenly became furious and shouted: "Who let you in!" Then she suddenly reached out and dug at the edge of the bed. Charlotte actually tore off a piece of the bed frame made of hard red oak.

Charlotte waved her hand, and a "whoosh" sound broke through the air. The piece of red oak that had been buckled was nailed to the soldier's forehead. The soldier didn't even have time to scream.

The whole person collapsed to the ground.

Charlotte said coldly to the maid beside her: "Throw the body out and lock the door!"

The maid quickly responded when she heard this, then put down the medicine bottle and stepped forward to move the soldier's body.

Charlotte looked down at the deep and shallow scars on her body, and said to herself: "That old man is very skilled in martial arts. If he hadn't hidden it well enough, I'm afraid he would have killed me on the spot last night...

…Who the hell is he?”

…

After Li Wu was settled, all members of Xigua's shop gathered together and held a short meeting.

"That's what happened." Xie Feng said: "I will leave for the Rodok Kingdom tomorrow, so I will be away for a while."

"Brother Feng Xie." Cecilia shouted first: "I want to go with you."

Xie Feng smiled and said: "Silly girl, what are you going to do with me? There may be a lot of dangers along the way, so you should just wait here for me to come back."

Cecilia shook her head and said: "It is precisely because there may be danger that I want to go with you. If there is a battle, whether it is participating in the battle or taking care of the wounded, my role will not be small, right?"

"

Xie Feng said: "Don't Old Man Li Wu still need your care?"

Cecilia said: "My adoptive father has suffered some external injuries. Now that he has applied the medicine, he will be fine as long as he takes a good rest for a month or two. The treatment can end here."

Xie Feng said: "But you..."

Cecilia hurriedly said: "Besides, I have stayed in Salander for so long. It is a rare opportunity for me to visit other countries... Do you want me to stay in this desert for the rest of my life?"

I seem to be going somewhere else to have fun..." As he said that, he looked at Xie Feng pitifully.

Xie Feng sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, you can follow me, but you must be obedient on the way."

Cecilia quickly smiled and said, "When did you ever disobey me?"

Hey! Character: Cecilia, I am willing to follow you and become your companion, do you accept it?

yes!

Then Xie Feng turned to look at Eric and said, "What about you?"

Eric was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Me? What am I?"

Xie Feng said: "Do you want to go to Rodok with me?"

Eric said inexplicably: "Why do you suddenly ask me if I want to follow you? What does it have to do with me?"

Xie Feng smiled and said: "I remember you said you were from Rhodok, right? You don't want to go home and have a look?"

Eric scratched his head, then smiled and said: "It's rare to go out and make a living, and you haven't achieved anything famous yet. Why are you so embarrassed to go back like this?"

Xie Feng shook his head and said softly: "Actually, you didn't just come out to make a living, but you came out to seek refuge, right?"

Eric was stunned again, then smiled and said: "Boss, what are you talking about?"

Xie Feng patted Eric on the shoulder and said, "During Shiba Zumo's living dead incident last time, you seemed to have accidentally revealed some secret about your life experience, right?"

After Eric thought about it carefully, he sighed deeply.

Xie Feng smiled and said, "Would you like to tell us about your embarrassing past? If you still treat me as a companion, maybe I can help you."

Eric's eyes suddenly became a little moist and he said: "Boss..."
