Episode 1 Martial Arts Master Chapter 07 I'm Not a Child
The fishmonger had to escape the danger, and he walked over timidly and said with a smile: "Sir, you are such a good person. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be able to go home." This was sincere gratitude, which was different from the snobbery just now.
.
Shen Zhimo put away the money bag and turned to leave. The fishmonger followed up and said: "Sir, wait a minute, I have nothing to thank you for. Just keep this little money. The people from the Tiger Mercenary Group will definitely come back for revenge. Do more."
It's better to be on guard." He took out a handful of scattered copper coins and forced them into his hand, and then said: "The mercenary group has made the market a mess, and most of my income in the past few years has gone into their pockets. You
His behavior is like the coming of the Holy Light, which gives us a big sigh of relief." Suddenly I remembered that Shen Zhimo had united with the mercenaries to take a deep revenge, and he clearly showed his kindness to the enemies of the mercenary group, and he didn't know how much cruel revenge he would have to endure in the future, and he couldn't help but blush.
Big changes.
The people nearby had nothing to do. They were all predicting how Shen Zhimo would die in the future. Some even planned to report to the mercenary group headquarters. Rosacea said: "I dare say he is dead. Hey, do you remember last year?"
The kobold Hogg? That guy is vicious and vicious. He gathered more than a dozen men under his command and occupied a long street. In the end, he was hanged by a mercenary group in the market?" The merchant shuddered and said: "
We'd better leave quickly, otherwise the consequences will be serious if others see us."
Shen Zhimo took the copper coins and suddenly had an uncontrollable thought: "Since the so-called mercenary group can collect money here, why can't I replace it? Listen to what they said first, whoever has a strong fist can rule the market, but the lord can't
He just opens his eyes and closes his eyes. As long as the monthly filial piety money is enough, he won't meddle too much."
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, and they bought some daily necessities and food and returned to the blacksmith shop. After treatment, Hamal was able to get up and move around. When he saw a large pile of bread, ham, new clothes, barbecue, and ale in his hand, he couldn't help but jump to his feet and said: "
Why did you buy so many goods? What will we eat in the next few days if we run out of money? The deposit given by the Lord must be reserved for purchasing raw materials and cannot be used randomly!"
Shen Zhimo put the money bag on the table and said calmly: "The money has not been used, but there is still money to be made."
"What...what? Did someone lose their wallet and let you pick it up? Saga, this is not good. The owner dropped a huge amount of money out of thin air. I believe he must be desperate. If you don't return the money to others, how can you still get it?
Use it indiscriminately? If it were us, we would be so anxious that we would hang ourselves."
Shen Zhimo secretly lamented the simplicity of the local residents and said, "I didn't pick it up. Someone from the Tiger Mercenary Group kindly gave it to me. It was a man named Simon. He was very generous."
Hamar couldn't believe it at all: "Knight Simon will give you money? An illusion, it must be an illusion. Saga, can you tell me where the money comes from?"
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door. Shen Zhimo said: "Good guy, here you go to die again." He picked up a kitchen knife, inserted it into his back, and opened the door.
There was a middle-aged woman standing outside the door, and next to her were two half-year-old children of sixteen or seventeen years old. The woman had wavy chestnut hair, a high nose and deep eyes, wrinkles on her face, and she wore an apron around her waist.
, also holding some dried fish in his hand, she is an extremely common type of housewife. Both children have beautiful blond hair, and there is a hint of uneasiness in their eyes.
Hammar originally thought that Chibman had come to seek revenge, so he breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that he was a neighbor in the same alley. He stepped forward and asked, "Mrs. Luo Lin, what can I do?" Luo Lin specializes in making shoes.
He is a man, and his wife is kind and has good relations with the neighbors.
"Mr. Hammar." Mrs. Luo Lin looked a little embarrassed.
"Come in and sit down. Saga, could you please pour Madam a drink?"
After drinking the boiling water, Mrs. Luo Lin became more natural. She put the dried fish on the table and said, "Mr. Hamar, my husband injured his right hand a few days ago. His business is bleak, and the two children are fine.
I want to be sent to you as an apprentice..."
"Oh..." Hammar felt troubled. His life was not at the level where he could hire an apprentice. With Saga to speak, he was even more stretched. How could he dare to raise two more growing children? But when he saw Mrs. Luo Lin,
With a cautious look on his face, he couldn't say any words of rejection.
When Mrs. Luo Lin saw that he was silent, she felt anxious and said: "Mr. Hammar, Tang En and Eden are very capable. You don't need to worry too much. They can't eat much for three meals a day. They can also help you.
Just accept it. We really can’t open the door to anything else at home.”
Hamar pondered: "But... the situation here is not necessarily much better than yours."
When Mrs. Luo Lin saw a lot of fresh and rich food on the table, she didn't believe what he said. She said anxiously: "Mr. Hammar, didn't you just get the Lord's business? I think there must be a need for manpower. Two children can't do it."
It’s causing trouble. As for the apprenticeship fee, I can think of another way.”
Before Hamal could say anything, Shen Zhimo stretched out his hand and pushed him out three or four meters away. He sat on a chair in the middle of the room and said, "Madam, let the child come over and show me." This meant that he wanted to make the decision himself.
Hamal's eyes widened: Are you the master here or am I the master? He just remembered that the barbarian had made a lot of money with his help in the past few days, and also took care of Chebman. His ability was beyond his imagination, so he kept silent.
Mrs. Rolling hesitated: "Mr. Hammar?"
Hamar quickly said: "Saga is my aunt's son. He came to help in the past few months. It is up to him to decide."
Shen Zhimo glanced at the two boys who were bowing their heads in silence. They had sallow faces and thin muscles, thick knuckles, and a kind of inferiority and cowardice born from poor people on their faces. They just had low eyebrows, which was pleasing to the eye, and said: "Mrs. Luo Lin,
You don't need an apprenticeship fee, so you can rest assured. You can work in the blacksmith shop for ten silver coins a month, but you must obey my orders completely and must not disobey. The apprenticeship period is one year, and every month if you are willing to stay after one year.
One hundred silver coins, you can go back if you don't want to." This was the longest sentence Shen Zhimo said in half a year. Samur's English was not fluent, so he thought about the vocabulary in his mind for a long time before he said it word by word.
Mrs. Rolling was overjoyed and asked: "Mr. Hammar, is it true?"
Hamar secretly complained that Shen Zhimo was talking nonsense. Where could he find money to pay the two boys? He was receiving business from the Lord, but that was not a long-term solution. He thought that it would be better to find an inappropriate excuse for blacksmithing in a month.
They went home and said, "Mrs. Luo Lin, blacksmithing is very hard. If the children can't persist, I will terminate their apprenticeship and send them home."
Luo Lin hurriedly pulled the child over and said: "Call the master quickly. From now on, you must be obedient and obedient when you follow Mr. Hamar. I plan to go back to the countryside with your father and visit you once a month in the future."
The two children were not stupid, so they nodded in agreement.
After sending Mrs. Luo Lin away, Shen Zhimo asked the two children to sit down and talk: "What are your names? How old are you this year?"
The taller one is called Tang En, who is seventeen this year, and the shorter one is called Eden, who has just turned sixteen. They both have freckles and acne on their faces and look childish. They lower their heads and secretly look at Hamal and Shen Zhimo. They probably understand family.
Although I was reluctant to leave my mother, I quickly adjusted my mood.
"There is a small room at the back. Go and clean it up yourself. Have you brought a change of clothes?"
The two children shook their heads. Their clothes were dirty and tattered. They had not been washed for an unknown number of days and emitted a stench. When they heard Shen Zhimo's question, they couldn't help but look coy.
Shen Zhimo found two newly bought shirts and threw them to them, saying, "There is a well in the backyard. You can fetch water and take a bath yourself. Don't be nervous. Mr. Hamar never abducts children."
Tang En blushed and said, "Mr. Saga, I am not a child."
Hamar shouted: "What are you talking about? Go take a shower, there is a lot of work to do later!"
The two children quickly agreed, took their clothes and ran away.
Hamar sighed and said to Shen Zhimo: "Why did you agree without authorization? We don't have much money anymore. If we can't feed our two children, won't we hurt them?"
"You don't have to worry."
"By the way, where did the money come from?"
Shen Zhimo ignored it, wiped off his sweat with a towel, pointed at the food on the table and said, "Please tidy it up, prepare lunch and call me."
The instructions were given very naturally, as if people like him were born to give orders. Hammar didn't think there was anything wrong and just went to the kitchen to do the work.
Shen Zhimo put on some clothes, took a dozen silver coins and headed towards the Snow Night Tavern.
