The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

In the northwest corner of Andorra la Vella, in a dilapidated small room, the flame on the oil lamp is not the size of a match head.

The flame is jumping around, and it looks like it will go out at any time.

Under the almost negligible light, a woman was sitting by the bed, holding a bowl, and was feeding the thin rice porridge water into her son's mouth.

The horrible to see welt on her son's body was covered with herbs given by the neighbor. Now he has scarred, but he has been in a coma for three days and still hasn't woken up.

Fortunately, this young man still has the instinct to swallow, and he can hang his life by relying on porridge and water.

It's just that there is no rice in their house.

The young man used to run errands in the Silver Narcissus Chamber of Commerce, but it has been a long time since there was no pay, otherwise he would not follow his neighbors to the dock to move things.

It's just that he walked out in the morning. He thought he could buy rice to go home after he got paid in the evening, but he was returned by the neighbor at noon.

The rice in the bowl was stuffed by the neighbor secretly through the hole in the kitchen wall with herbs the night before.

Only that day after the neighbor brought the young man back, he was targeted by the Feiyuhui people. They didn't arrange work for him in the past two days, and their family was also in trouble.

It's not that the woman doesn't want to find a priest in the temple to treat her son, but there are several Feiyuhui people guarding the house, and she will be beaten back as soon as she goes out.

Three days ago, Feiyu would suffer a huge loss. Now they need to kill a few people to regain their prestige, and this young man and his neighbor who did not follow the rules that day are ready-made examples.

After feeding the rice porridge water to her son, the woman looked at the small handful of rice grains at the bottom of the bowl, and decided to add water tomorrow, grind it, boil it, and add some light vegetable oil. Eat for another day.

Just when the woman stood up and was about to put the bowl on the table, she was shocked and dizzy.

She has hardly eaten for the past three days. If she is not afraid that she will starve to death and no one will take care of her son, she will only feed the rest of the house to his son.

The woman realized that her eyes were dark and her hands were weak, she put the bowl firmly on the bed with the last bit of strength, and then fell to the ground. A little wind blew out the oil lamp on a side table.

Next to their house, the cry of women and children has not stopped since sunset.

The middle-aged porter who carried the young man back on his back sat on the bed with his head bowed, and looked towards the kitchen knife beside the stove from time to time.

The situation in his family is also very difficult. If he hadn't caught a mouse and cooked it, there would be nothing to eat at home tonight.

The moon is shining outside the door, and you can see two or three dark shadows dangling on the road. Those are the people that Flying Fish will send to look at their house.

All the neighbors in the neighborhood have closed their doors and windows for fear of misfortune.

The sound of the footsteps of the city defense army patrolling the night came from afar, and then left far away. They seemed to have forgotten this place.

This group of city defense forces leaned on the moonlight to pass through the residential area and came to the brightly lit central square.

Tonight, there are luxurious carriages parked on the street in front of the theater, and the theater is a sea of ​​joy.

Silver Narcissus Chamber of Commerce has fallen, and the property they used as mortgage will be auctioned tonight.

Businessmen of all sizes in Andorra are waiting for this day. The mortgage can find suitable buyers from slaves, carriages to real estate.

It's just a pity that Jenny Eldest Young Lady, who was also used as collateral, was manipulated in the dark and did not appear in the auction catalog.

The president of Silver Narcissus Chamber of Commerce has many slaves, many of them are artisans who can only sell as slaves after they owe usury and cannot repay the money. The bosses of many workshops are aimed at They came.

Only a dark horse appeared on the auction tonight, a lot of coins were thrown round all the slaves, even the forty-fifty-year-old cook did not let it go.

Several paintings of the Grand Duke of Andorra were interspersed during the auction. At this time, Auctioneer hit the stage with a hammer and shouted: "Congratulations to Count Megadon. I took it with two hundred and fifty gold coins. "The Girl Bathing Under the Waterfall"!"

Polite and warm applause suddenly sounded in the auction room.

In the most luxurious box in the theater, a middle age person wearing a silk robe laughed and said to Charles sitting on another sofa next to him: "I really appreciate Charles' love."

p>

His happy appearance seems to others that he painted this painting, not that the painter he hired would sign it after he painted it.

Charles said with a faint smile: "The main reason is that this painting is well painted. I didn't expect a painting that can perfectly combine the beauty of realism and the beauty of haziness."

At this time, someone moved a tall oil painting. The picture shows a young girl standing under a waterfall, allowing water to flow through her body. The girl’s head and face where there is no water flowing through are used realistically. The painting method is very real, but the place where the water flows is hazy underwater, people can't wait to reach out and cut off the obstructive stream.

Charles put his arms around Diana's waist, smiling and explaining to her the techniques of painting, just like those hedonistic sons of rich parents who show off knowledge.

This painting does have its merits in this era. It can be sold for fifty Andorran gold coins at a normal price.

The gold coin of Andorra is very small. The Ole gold coin of Northlands can be exchanged for about two thousand spirit essence, while the Andorra gold coin can only be exchanged for two hundred spirit essence.

As for the painter, he can get ten to fifteen Andorran gold coins.

Since Charles bought the painting of the Grand Duke of Andorra at a high price, then we must go to the topic next.

The Grand Duke of Andorra is also waiting for Charles to make a move.

The day he learned that Charles had chopped off the Flying Fish Club, he had nodded pain, but he soon had a choice. The Flying Fish Club is over and there is a Salted Fish Club. It's better to sell it to Charles.

So the Flying Fish Club was abandoned by the Grand Duke of Andorra at first.

Charles came to visit this morning. He didn't talk about the Flying Fish Club with the Grand Duke of Andorra. He just remembered the little things when Father passed through Andorra before his death.

And Charles gave himself a sum of money through auction tonight, and the Grand Duke of Andorra praised Charles for his ability to do things and understand the rules.

At this time, Charles asked people to take the oil paintings and pack them. After taking a sip of tea, he said casually, "Grand Duke, there are a lot of rats in this city. My restaurant was stolen by these rats. I ate a lot."

The Grand Duke of Andorra leaned on the back of the sofa and said nonchalantly: "That fish-like mouse will just trample it to death."

Charles I picked up a small jewel-cored silver flower in the tray on the coffee table, which was inserted in Jenny's braid that day, and he bought it during the auction just now.

While looking at the little flower carefully, he said, "But there are four mice like that. How about 20%?"

The Grand Duke of Andorra is frowned, looked. Towards Charles' gaze suddenly became uncomfortable.

It was one thing for him to throw out a dog to give Charles a meal of dog meat to relieve his anger, but it was another thing for Charles to kill his dog and reach out.

Charles continued to say nonchalantly: "Money is not important to me. The important thing is that I am not comfortable in my heart. If I am not comfortable, I can't make those mice comfortable."

" I won’t stay here for too long. I’m leaving in two days."

"I think Brando’s big brother is a nice guy, very honest."

The Grand Duke of Andorra laughed out loud with a "pu 呲", this is what it is, you brat swept all the gangs for peace of mind, and finally asked the dean of an orphanage to form the gang, and He also gave him money for filial piety, which was 20% more than the filial piety of the gang before.

Grand Duke shook the head with a smile, he didn't understand the world of the tyrant.

But this is not a problem for him. Brando is a native, he knows. This person is honest and honest, has no scheming, and doesn't like fighting. It is estimated that he ran back to the orphanage in a few days.

As long as the money is in place, he doesn't care who sits in that position. At worst, he can help others to drive Brando away. This is not the position in the city hall.

So the Grand Duke of Andorra said: "50%."

Charles shook the head and said: "At most two and a half."

After he finished speaking Then no longer paid attention to the Grand Duke of Andorra. Instead, he stood up and pulled Altria, who was standing behind the sofa as a guard, onto the sofa and sat down, and then inserted the small silver flowers with gem cores one by one. Altria's hair curled up on the back of her head.

The Grand Duke of Andorra thought for a while, then made a decision he regretted most in his life, and said: "Deal."

Charles laughed and walked towards moved towards The Grand Duke of Andorra stretched out his right hand and said: "Thank you."

The Grand Duke of Andorra also smiled and extended the hand to shake hands with him.
