Strange Bow

Chapter 26 Beggar Schaub (recommended for collection)

After finishing all this, it was already evening, and the night fell again. The town is naturally different from the village, and it is much more lively.Although some NPCs have been arranged to leave work, there are still scattered shops open, including of course the mercenary union.

Just taking advantage of the dark night when there were few players, Xiao Fan planned to continue his mission and spend the rest of the day.

Looking at the task list posted in the trade union, the task of killing the leader of the bandits and mercenaries is no longer there. The task I did last time has rich rewards. In addition to equipment, there are also a lot of experience and mercenary experience.

It seems that some tasks in the trade union are hard to come by. After checking the map, Xiao Fan began to choose the tasks he thought he was satisfied with.

Compared with before, the current mercenary union is much more lively. Some people come to apply to become a mercenary, and some people have already worn the logo of being a mercenary on their chests, and choose their own tasks in the mercenary hall.

After completing the task he had planned, Xiao Fan walked out of the hall, habitually took out a few copper coins and put them in the beggar's bowl at the door, but today's beggars are not the same as Xiao Fan encountered before.

It is still tattered clothes and disheveled hair, but it is much better mentally, not as sickly as before, maybe it is the improvement of living conditions.

Now he was gnawing on a large piece of meat, with a jar of fine wine beside him, living a life of abundance, and putting the copper coins in the bowl, Xiao Fan also sat down, ready to chat for a few words.

A player next to him ran over and pulled Xiao Fan away.

"Dude, don't think about any hidden missions. Recently, many players have thrown money there, trying to get some missions from there."

"Task?" Xiao Fan was puzzled.

"Yeah, since there was a post on the forum, because this and that player got a piece of golden equipment, which is a hidden mission that a player accidentally received, this game has disliked all the people looking for hidden missions upsurge."

Seeing Xiao Fan looking at him suspiciously, it seemed that the other party really didn't know.

"You don't know, I'm one of them, but many people throw money into the beggar's bowl. I'm one of them, but I get nothing, but his life has improved. I drank wine and gnawed meat without watching it, poor me still gnawing steamed stuffed buns, I would have used that money to buy a piece of meat to bid farewell to the gaming steamed stuffed bun clan." While talking about this friend, his face was distressed.

"Game bun family?"

"Why don't you understand anything? It's just the players who have been eating steamed buns since the beginning of the game, the little steamed stuffed bun clan."

The beggar laughed beside him. "I'm a beggar, I can have something to draw, these are all what you want, and now I regret it, haha..."

The man was even angrier when he heard that. "You say it's annoying, forget it, I'm telling you, I have to do the task, let's go, don't be fooled again."

Hearing this, the beggar laughed even more, finally stopped laughing, and shrugged his shoulders at Xiao Fan.

"Um, I don't have any plans, just now I just wanted to beg for a drink." Xiao Fan replied, if other people heard it, they would be surprised by Xiao Fan's idea, even the beggar was stunned when he heard this .

"Haha, if you don't dislike my mess, what do I care about? Come, come..." After speaking, he took out a bowl and poured it for Xiao Fan.

It seems that the NPCs in the game are not simple, at least everyone has the ability to juggle, but think about whether the player also has a storage bar, maybe the NPCs in the game also have them.

Xiao Fan also simply sat down, took out two grilled fish and gave one to the other party.

This time, the nearby players were surprised. The beggar also received attention for a while because of the hidden mission. This was the first time I saw someone eating and drinking with him.

With the help of the magic lamp near the mercenary union, people who observed carefully saw the unique wind pattern on Xiao Fan's face, and the players thought that Xiao Fan was an NPC, maybe it was from an old friend of the beggar, but they didn't Interested to continue to inquire.

The game was in a hurry, and it was still night, so no one really noticed that the person who was drinking with the beggar at the entrance of the union was the person who had received the task in the union before.

And the two drank wine enthusiastically, as if they were happy, the old beggar didn't say anything, he continued to toast, and after a while they almost drank the jar of wine, Xiao Fan took out his own storage The bag of kumiss in the bar.

"You boy... that's not interesting. I've got some wine... I'm here to ask for a drink, haha..." The beggar's tongue was already disobedient.

"Isn't this sharing? I haven't tasted this wine, so I'll give you a sip first." After speaking, he handed over the leather bag, and Xiao Fan also drank to his heart's content, but drinking in the game is nothing. .

Now Xiao Fan is already a little dizzy, but he still speaks sharply, not to the extent of a beggar.

"Haha, good wine... It's been a long time... I haven't had such a good drink, it's really good."

"It's really good, it's the first time I drink like this."

In fact, today is Uncle Feng's birthday. In the past, on this day, Uncle Feng would always take Xiao Fan to drink some wine to celebrate his birthday, and every year this time he would get himself drunk.

Usually, Xiao Fan would persuade him to drink less, and Uncle Feng only had a few drinks, except for this day, and on this day every year, Xiao Fan would just stay quietly by the side, because today Uncle Feng would not listen to himself. of.

Because today is his birthday, he must have the final say on everything, so he wants to have a drink to vent his depression and troubles in life.

I don't know if it's Uncle Feng's excuse, if so, it must be a bad excuse, because Xiao Fan can feel the sadness in it, he really wants to know, but it's useless for him to ask about the things that Uncle Feng doesn't want to say.

Perhaps what Uncle Feng needs most is to be quiet on the sidelines, and when Uncle Feng is drunk and unconscious, carry him back to his room.

Every year Xiao Fan is very uncomfortable today, how much he hopes that Uncle Feng can be like himself, and pour all the unhappy things to the other party.

Or it would be better to get drunk with Uncle Feng, but he can’t, that would make Uncle Feng even more sad, so he had to sit quietly at one side of the dining table and listen to every sound from Uncle Feng on the other side of the table. a voice.

Today Xiao Fan had the idea of ​​going offline to have a good drink, usually he only heard people talk about how he felt after being drunk, and what everyone said was quite different, but he wanted to see how he felt when he was drunk.

As soon as he left the mercenary union, he saw the beggar drinking, so the next scene happened.

When the last drop of wine was gone, the beggar was so drunk that he shook off the leather bag and stood up unsteadily.

But Xiao Fan's head was only a little more dizzy, and he was still relatively awake. It can be seen from the fact that he would remember to pick up the leather bag and put it back in the package for the next time.

Now that there is no more wine, let's buy some more wine and help the beggar who is messy and dizzy.

"I haven't had enough, how can I buy wine?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Haha... I didn't drink enough, don't look at me... dangling, I'm not drunk... not drunk, haha, I'll take you to buy wine, you...you pay, haha... . " After speaking, he put Xiao Fan's shoulders on his shoulders and led the way leisurely.

Borrowing a few scattered lights in the small town at night, the two of them staggered back and forth, dragging out two shadows like claws and claws, one is a person who is not drunk but wants to get drunk, and the other is a person who is already drunk and still wants to be drunk .

I don't know how many detours they took, but the two finally found a place that sells wine, and Xiao Fan's wine seemed to be a little sober.

Carrying two jars of wine, the beggar continued to drag Xiao Fan to walk, but soon arrived at the place the beggar wanted to go, a nice house.

The old beggar opened the door and went in. Xiao Fan was wondering if the beggar was so drunk that he walked into other people's houses. Fortunately, no one seemed to be in the house.

The old beggar directly pushed into a room, Xiao Fan had no choice but to light the torch and the oil lamp in the room first, the room looked simpler, with a bed, a table and two stools and nothing else, but it was tidy at last. It seems that the owner cleans this room frequently.

"It's a good place, at night...the grassland is cold outside, let's continue to drink...drink." After speaking, I still forgot to conjure up two bowls and pat them on the table.

After drinking all of it, Xiao Fan's head became very dizzy, and the beggar who only drank from the altar could only lie on the table, talking happily from time to time, in a daze. Xiao Fan couldn't hear clearly, not to mention that he didn't seem to be much better.

Xiao Fan unsteadily helped the beggar to the only bed in the room, picked up the remaining half jar of wine, Xiao Fan went to the yard outside the house and found a more comfortable place to rely on and continued to drink.

Xiao Fan now feels that the world is spinning, and he is the center of the rotation, he is the rotation, and all other things are revolving around him, and he is like a lonely individual.

Before he finished drinking the wine in the wine jar, Xiao Fan was already very dizzy. At this time, he heard the system prompt sound like ghosts inseparable in the game.

"Congratulations to player Mo Fan, you successfully got drunk. Please pay attention to your body. If you want to drink too much, please come to the game "Wild World". It can not only simulate the effect of drunkenness, but also ensure that the player's health will not be harmed. I wish you After being drunk, I have a happy mood again."

"..." It seems that there are still many benefits in the game, which is really strange, and it is thanks to the game company to figure it out.

there is nothing you can not do, only something you can not think of.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan began to feel that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep holding the wine jar after a while, and then his body gradually became transparent, which is what happens when he goes offline.

Xiao Fan took off the helmet and touched the watch on his hand. In reality, it was already past five in the morning when Xiao Fan woke up.

There are no headaches and other symptoms that would appear after drinking, just like waking up from sleep, stretching, Xiao Fan started what he must do every morning.

It was already seven o'clock when it went online, and when it went online again, Xiao Fan appeared in the yard last night, with a little wine jar still standing at Xiao Fan's feet.

Picking up the jar, Xiao Fan walked towards the room where he drank yesterday, but the beggar just got up too, and couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiao Fan coming in with the wine.

"I still want to drink, I still have a bad headache this time."

Xiao Fan lifted the jar on the handle, put the jar away, shook his head and said, "Just bring it in, and let's see how drunk you are."

"This body is not as good as it was back then. I think back then..."

"Come on, don't think about the past, hurry up and leave, don't be seen by the owner of the house." Saying that, Xiao Fan dragged the beggar and was about to leave.

"Boy, this house is mine. Are you wondering why I'm a beggar? Well, I'll give myself a vacation today, just wait." After finishing speaking, he went to clean himself up.

After more than ten minutes, when the beggar reappeared in front of Xiao Fan, he had already changed his appearance. His disheveled hair and beard had been cleaned up, and his clothes were changed into a simple cloth shirt. He didn't look so old anymore. .

Seeing Xiao Fan's sizing up, the beggar couldn't help laughing. "Is it old and strong? I'm still a little curious."

"It's a little bit, why don't you trim off your beard, so that you look more energetic." After watching for a while, Xiao Fan expressed his thoughts.

"Then do I have to go to work again? I'm not as strong as you guys now, haha..."

"Go to work?" Xiao Fan remembered the other party's identity as a beggar, but he was curious about the other party's actions.

After some conversation, Xiao Fan knew the reason of the incident, the beggar's name was Shaobu, the owner of a hotel in the town was a bartender, but because the town in the grassland was not popular, he opened a small hotel , at last the business is good, and he is considered to be a relatively wealthy person in the town.

The beggar's son was the mayor of Mad Wolf Town, but what made him sad was that his son was not a good mayor, blinded by power and interests.

It caused great harm to the townspeople. At that time, the town of Dire Wolf was almost full of complaints, and knowing the situation, I had no choice but to sever the relationship between father and son.

Knowing this situation, the imperial city dispatched an incorruptible envoy to punish him, and the current mayor's father was killed by his son.

I, who was supposed to be relatively affluent, was naturally affected by the remaining anger of the townspeople, the most abominable of which was the current mayor, who secretly instigated and fueled the flames, and Schaub ended up where he is now.

In the end, I was ransacked and only my house was left. The shop was smashed, the house was also ransacked, but I was penniless, and I was attacked by unknown people, and it was even difficult to survive. question.

But he doesn't hate these people. The so-called father's debt is paid by the son. He thinks that he needs to hide and exchange what his son owes to everyone. This is also a kind of compensation. It also slowly ended.

A person who was originally rich, now his own life has become a problem. Later, something happened, so he begged in front of the mercenary union to make a living.

Originally, the mercenary union did not allow beggars to beg. One of the times, the tired Schaub sat at the entrance of the mercenary union to take a breather, but the mayor happened to see him passing by.

The mayor handed him a bowl, and then threw a copper coin into the bowl. During those days of the devil, there were quite a few people who received his favor. Although most of them still hated each other, most of them had calmed down.

"If you become a beggar, I am very happy to allow you to beg at the gate of the mercenary union." This is what the mayor said to him at that time.

Thinking that he really no longer had the chance to be self-reliant, Schaub simply accepted the bowl, and began to use it to beg at the door of the mercenary union.

Over time, people in the town no longer mentioned this matter, but some villagers who had fun made up a song about it, and it is still sung by children to this day.

Beggars of the mercenary union,

There is a broken bowl.

That is the porcelain bowl of the current mayor,

A copper plate containing a beggar.

The mayor's bowl holds copper coins,
Let the beggar no longer worry about food and drink.

After talking, the beggar and Xiao Fan looked at each other and laughed. The beggar picked up the remaining wine and planned to continue drinking, but was stopped by Xiao Fan.

"Drinking after a hangover is not good. If you don't have to worry about food and drink, you have to keep healthy. I'm so angry with the mayor, haha."

The huge house was empty like this, which made Xiao Fan think of his own tobacco leaves, it seems that he has a place to make tobacco.

After discussing with Shaobu, it became a place for Xiao Fan to dry his cigarettes, and Shaobu helped him watch it. As for Xiao Fan, he only needed to bring jars of wine when smoking.
