sleep forever

What the old woman said made Chen Xiansong's heart start to feel cold. He tried to struggle, but his body was so limp that he couldn't use any strength at all.This is the first time he has been so seriously ill. In the past, whenever he had the slightest sign of getting sick, Sister Bai would take him to the hospital for treatment to prevent problems before they happen.

In the past, when he read it, it was written that certain characters were sick, and the description was as uncomfortable as life or death. He always felt that it was a bit exaggerated, but now he tried it, and it really is only when he is sick that he knows the value of health.What made him even more unacceptable was that the old woman in front of him obviously had bad intentions, but he didn't have any ability to resist.

"Old woman, this is not very good." The old man couldn't bear it: "This lord is a good man, he gave us money, so we don't want to take away his armor when he is sick."

"Old man, don't you want your son to be famous? You know how to be a good person!" The old woman twisted the old man's ear and said angrily, "Do you know how much a set of armor costs outside? At least ten gold coins, Since my son became a mercenary, he definitely wanted to get a set of armor. You can’t get a single gold coin in your life, and now someone specially gave us a set of armor, but you don’t want it, is there something wrong with your head?”

"I'm afraid of problems." The old man slapped the old woman's hand and said flatteringly.

"What could go wrong!" The old woman snorted, pointed at Chen Xiansong and said, "Look at him, he is obviously not from our Kate Kingdom, his face is paler than a woman's, and he doesn't have any muscles. He doesn't look like a servant at all. Bing, on the contrary, looks like a flower boy. I heard that Zhendan is rich in flower boys, maybe he is."

When Chen Xiansong heard this, his body suddenly lost his strength. He lay back on the bed and said in a hoarse voice: "I am not a flower boy. I am a soul thinker. If you want armor, you can take it, but please Help me grab some fever-reducing medicine and come back."

"You still want to grab the medicine when you have fever." The old woman screamed in a sharp voice, "Without two gold coins, the doctors in the city would never give you the medicine for fever... People in our village who have fever , You can only get through it, and if you can’t get over it, you will die. I’ve seen this too much, boy. You have delicate skin and tender flesh, and you can’t resist disease at first glance. Don’t worry, we’ll dig a hole for you at worst. Bury you so that your body will not be bitten to pieces by wild beasts."

Chen Xiansong smiled wryly.Close your eyes, out of sight is out of mind.

Seeing him, the old woman seemed to accept her fate.Hehe laughed twice.She reached out to grab Chen Xiansong's sacred Odin coat, but just as she touched the armor, she withdrew her hand with an ah.The old man was startled by her voice, walked over to have a look, and found that there were several blisters on his old wife's right hand, as if it had been scorched by fire.

Odin's holy clothes.Except for Chen Xiansong, only Bai Min can take it freely for the time being.Usually this set of armor is kept by her.

"This thing is a bit evil." The old woman turned her head and asked Chen Xiansong: "Boy with a white face, what's the name of your armor? It's so hot. How did you wear it on your body?"

Chen Xiansong opened his eyes, and said with difficulty: "Only I can wear this set of armor. It's useless if you give it to your son."

But the old woman didn't believe it: "Baby-faced boy, don't try to lie to me, just now you said that you are a soul thinker, hehe, who doesn't know how honorable a soul thinker is, when there are not hundreds of people protecting it, how can you be so powerful?" It's embarrassing, besides, soul thinkers can't learn any martial arts and elemental skills, they don't know how to wear armor at all, if you want to lie to me, it's still 100 years earlier."

"Old man, go find a sack and a stick. I can't carry it. I can always pack it with something." The old woman snorted, "It must be armor that only mercenaries can wear. Since you can wear it, my son can definitely wear it too." .You flower boy, wearing such a mighty and gorgeous armor is too wasteful."

"What is a flower boy?" Chen Xiansong asked in a murmur.

"It's a man who sells his ass to the nobles." The old woman looked contemptuous: "You have the most variety of men in the Cathay Kingdom."

Chen Xiansong could only smile wryly, or because he was in a bad mood, he felt his body getting hotter and weaker, and his vision became more and more blurred. After a while, he fell asleep. Before he closed his eyes, he saw the old woman holding Holding a stick, he poked his Odin sacred garment into a large cloth bag.

Seeing that Chen Xiansong seemed to have passed out, the old man patted the old wife who was packing the armor lightly, and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do with this man? I remember he still has a few silver coins on him."

"Then don't bring it here!" The old woman shouted: "You are too old to know how to do things."

The old man snorted, and passed the small purse on Chen Xiansong's body.Because the little guy is usually very gluttonous and always likes to eat snacks, Chen Xiansong has developed the habit of preparing some small money with him at all times.The money bag fell into the hands of two old people. When they opened it, they were pleasantly surprised. There were several gold coins and several silver coins inside.

"He's really a rich flamboyant." The old woman stretched out her withered hand and stroked Chen Xiansong's pale face a few times: "And he's pretty pretty too, old lady, if I'm 40 years younger Years old, if you meet such a man, maybe you will post it to him, what a pity, what a pity."

The old man was about to go back to his room with the money bag and put it away, but he suddenly said: "Old woman, is the traveling merchant Jedra coming to our village to collect furs in the afternoon... I heard that he buys and sells beautiful women. No charge."

"It should be taken... old man, you have a good idea." The old woman looked at Chen Xiansong who was so sick and fell asleep, and smiled wickedly: "Let's hide the armor first, and give it to the son when he comes back. Then sell this guy , I think it should be sold for three or four silver coins, plus the money I found just now, it is enough to buy the daughter of Mary, the widow from the next village, to our son."

The old man nodded again and again, he was overjoyed, looked at Chen Xiansong on the bed, and sighed silently.

Jedla, a traveling merchant, is a commoner born in a big town nearby. He is now middle-aged. His family has been in business for generations. He inherited his father's business. He spends more than half a year wandering around the world, trading, and looking for business opportunities.Today he came to Marisu Village to buy furs as a routine, but was taken to her home by an old woman, where he saw a sick young man from Sindan sleeping on the bed.

"Jedla, let's see how much this flowery boy is worth."

flower boy?Jedra observed Chen Xiansong for a while, and then agreed with the old woman.The flower boys in the Kingdom of Zhendan are very famous, and there is quite a masculinity there, and then this trend has spread to other countries somehow.Over time, the nobles of other countries also began to cultivate flower boys, but in any case, the flower boys in the Kingdom of Cathay are the most flavorful.

If there is something good, there must be demand, and the Kingdom of Cathay exported a lot of flower boys to other countries.These flower boys who are specially trained never do heavy work, they have thin skin and tender flesh, and most importantly, they are also quite handsome.Chen Xiansong, who was sleeping on the bed, undoubtedly fully fit these characteristics.

In the Kate Kingdom, it is not unusual to see a flower boy from the Cathay Kingdom, but a lost flower boy is relatively rare.He checked Chen Xiansong's hair, teeth, and hands, and asked, "Old woman, you actually tied up a seriously ill flower boy. I don't know whether to say you are lucky or not. Are you going to sell him?" How much?"

"This number!" The old woman raised her hand.

"Five silver coins?" Jedra shook his head: "This man has a fever, and I don't know if he can survive it. Five silver coins are too expensive. If he dies, wouldn't it be a big loss for me? I don’t want to do business that is too loss-making.”

"Then how much did you say?"

"One silver coin at most." Jedra said with an expression that if you disagree with me, I will leave immediately.

"Okay, one coin is better than nothing." The old woman waved her hand: "As long as you give me the money, I can take the person away immediately."

Jedla called the men accompanying him in, carried Chen Xiansong out, and threw him onto a flatbed cart.Accompanying him was a teenager in his teens, with dark skin and lackluster eyes, but his body was quite strong, and his face was quite naive. He saw that Chen Xiansong was only wearing underwear, hugging him even in a coma. With his arms curled up and trembling, he carried some of the furs they bought and piled them on Chen Xiansong.

After paying, Jedra just came out of the house. Seeing this scene, she asked with a smile, "Molly, why did you give the goods so well."

"He's sick." The boy named Molly hesitated for a moment, and continued: "If he dies, it will no longer be a commodity, and we will lose money in that case. Guaranteeing the effective value of the commodity is the most basic thing for us traveling merchants." literacy."

"Very good, you remember very well." Jedra nodded with satisfaction. Molly is his youngest son. He has three sons in total. The eldest son and the second son are already in charge of their own affairs, and now they are able to lead a caravan on their own. There are back and forth transactions between countries, and the younger son was born a little slow, so he decided to keep him with him for a few more years and educate him well.

"But it's not enough." Jedra said slowly: "This man has a fever, just covering him with fur won't do much, you go to the foot of the mountain to gather some yellow vine grass, pound it into a paste, and then make it Rinse some water and give him to drink, although the prescription is far inferior to the medicine prescribed by the doctor, it still has some effect."

Hearing his father's order, Molly immediately ran to the foot of the mountain and came back after picking two-clawed yellow grass.He smashed the herbal medicine and threw it into a clay bowl, then flushed some water into it with the water bag he carried with him, finally walked up to Chen Xiansong, pried open the latter's mouth forcefully, and poured out a bowl with a strange smell. The green thick liquid was poured in.

The action was very rude and cruel, and Chen Xiansong was almost choked to death. (To be continued..)
