Spreading his hands to his mouth, Gu Bai took a deep breath:
"To call brother—"
Then he raised his head and watched the pigeons fly past startled by the sound.
-------------------------------------
It was noon when we returned to the Knights again.
Several acquaintances who are going to visit have already seen it, and revisited several places by the way.
It was said before that things are right and people are wrong, but this time even things are not.
Those frequented shops were destroyed, destroyed, closed, standing in the empty streets, which made people feel even more embarrassing.
In the past, when he was worried, he liked to sit on the bench next to the fountain and watch the scenes of people coming and going in the steam. However, now the fountain has been buried by gravel, and the clean and tidy stone road is full of people. Cracked, just stood for a while and then walked away.
It has become a matter of right and wrong.
For him, if the concept of the first pot of gold really exists, it should be that in the past, he took a lot of things with empty gloves along the way from the blacksmith shop to the cattail tavern.
There are Mora, iron swords, grilled fish, and after doing all of these, I went to the Adventurer's Association to pick up a commission and received potato cakes from a family of children who were learning swords.
He simply walked along this route. Many adventurers surrounded the front desk of the Adventurers Association, including Bennett whom he met yesterday, and a girl known as the ace scout, with a black-purple bird floating on her shoulder. It sounds like a normal negotiation about going out of the city for investigation.
The blacksmith's shop was also full of people, and the blacksmith named Wagner was hammering on the iron billets while briefly dealing with the business, but Schutz, who was an apprentice, was very busy.
He waited for a while, and went to say hello when he was free. The other party already knew about his deeds.
"I heard that you shot an arrow through the wing of the Wind Demon Dragon on the city wall last night?"
"How can I say so powerfully, it's just a fluke, but it's really me."
"Isn't it the crossbow I gave you a few days ago?"
"Really, it was a great help, here."
As he spoke, he took out the hand crossbow that had been polished to a metallic luster.
Schutz wiped his sweat and grinned, "It's good if I can help. Do you still remember the first time I gave you the iron sword? Not long after, you came back from outside the city and told me Thanks to that sword."
Gu Bai thought for a while, and it turned out that he was talking about the time he met an abyss mage with a sharp mouth in the ruins, and he smashed the opponent's shield with elemental combat skills.
"Yes." Thinking of this, he nodded, and he came here with the mood of recalling the past, so he took the opportunity to chat with Schutz, "At that time, I didn't have anything on me, and a sword was the most valuable thing. Otherwise, you can only wave your fists."
"Ha, it seems that both times happened to help you in an emergency, which is quite a coincidence."
"It's a coincidence... um..." His expression became complicated when he said this, "Wait, why do I think, in other words, every time you give me something, something will always happen to you?"
So the conversation came to an end. It wasn't that the two had a conflict, but they went back to do their own things with heavy hearts, and didn't dare to have too much contact.
Next is the Cattail Bar, with a temporarily closed sign hanging in front of the door.
"Meow~"
A soft cry sounded from the back of the tavern, and he walked over quietly, but that sound was not a cat meowing, but a human being.
A girl named Diona was squatting on the ground to feed the cat.
The tavern was closed, and the kitten inside had to be taken care of, so I had to make a special trip to feed it.
When the cats gradually walked away, licking their paws contentedly, he saw Diona facing the tavern, with the corners of her mouth crazily raised, and after a while she shook her head desperately, showing that the inner struggle was fierce.
In a sense, Mond Winery was also temporarily destroyed.
I went to a few other places, but the only ones worth mentioning are the above. After inquiring all the way, I also learned the whereabouts of Lisa and Ying. After there was no abnormal reaction, Lisa returned home and should be in the library at this time;
And Ying also stayed with her all night, and was catching up on sleep in the Knights at this time, so she hadn't seen her all morning.
Walking down the second floor, Gu Bai stopped in front of Ying's room, thought for a while and didn't wake her up immediately.
The time will be a little earlier than the agreed time, so come up and call her when everyone is here.
This time it was just a small-scale meeting, and all the people present were acquaintances, so it didn't have to be too formal.
Thinking of this, Gu Bai continued to walk downstairs.
Now he is standing on the stairs, as usual every time, when he comes to the corner, he will walk lightly, with different moods.
All the way to the office door, he knocked on the door without hesitation.
"Please come in."
When I walked in, I saw Qin, and at the same time, Qin saw herself. She was sitting at the table, holding a pen in her hand as if she was reviewing documents.
"And they haven't arrived yet?"
Gu Bai turned his head and looked around.
"Kaya came here once, but left because of something on the way."
"Oh." He nodded to show he understood, "Then he's pretty busy during this time."
He had only met once last night, so the conversation wouldn't be too blunt at this time, but likewise, without Barbara here, he also didn't know what to say.
"Wait a minute, I'm a little bit closer here..."
As Qin lowered his head, he stopped talking when he saw this, and walked to the sofa and sat down.
To be honest, it's quite novel that he didn't put down what he was doing and stood up immediately.
But I don’t have any more ideas other than novelty. Leaving aside the complicated relationship itself, I’ve known each other for so long. If I really do that, I won’t get used to it;
It's better to come up first and be polite before doing anything.
Since you have something to do, get busy first, there is no need to put it down, and spend extra effort to chat, and rack your brains to say unnutritious words, why bother.
Moreover, a large part of the reason is that neither of them knew what to say.
Since you don't know what to say, then naturally you should say less.
Thinking like this, he thought that he had made a comprehensive summary, and then suddenly realized that he had made up his mind not long ago, and he should try to think about these things as little as possible in the future.
So Gu Bai stopped his thoughts and tried to empty his head.
I have to say that occasionally it feels good to have an empty head, shaking his head as if half a catty of water can be spilled, and even the sound of the piano startled him when he heard the sound of the piano.
Meeting his jerky eyes, Qin's eyes were a little puzzled.
"Do you feel sick?"
"No, I was stunned when I posted it just now." He explained casually, "Are you done?"
"Well, I'm sorry, just now I was dealing with the list of areas that need to be rebuilt." Qin said and put down her pen, "Lisa and the others should be coming soon, I'll get a glass of water."
Well, it seems that what should come will always come, but in a different order.
He watched Qin get busy and opened his mouth, but he didn't think of saying anything in the end.
No need, I'm not thirsty?
But he was a little thirsty.
Or should I do it myself?
But she had already dug out a spoonful of coffee powder and poured it into the cup, so it was impossible for her to grab it and pour it again.
In the end, he just thanked him and enjoyed the personal service of the head of the acting group with peace of mind.
After taking a sip of the coffee, the taste is always stable. He refers to the sweetness, because he doesn’t like sweetness, so he will put less in the coffee, and there will always be a hint of sweetness hidden in it. It will cover the aroma of the coffee itself, but it will not be too bitter to enter the throat.
Qin also sat on the sofa, and the two nodded at each other and looked away, which was regarded as a formal greeting.
"By the way, where's Miss Barbara?"
Barbara, the eternal talking point.
"I originally wanted her to rest for the morning, but she insisted on going to church early in the morning."
Qin stirred gently with a spoon, and said helplessly, "She, she won't leave until she sees that I have eaten breakfast."
Pretty good, it's long overdue.
Gu Bai said in his heart.
"By the way, it seems that you haven't seen Ying since last night?"
"She's catching up on sleep, go and call her later."
……
"Almost forgot, what did Lisa tell you?"
"In her words, it only takes a few days of rest to recover, but I..." Qin frowned, not without worry, "but I always feel that this is an excuse that doesn't want me to worry. She will get used to it Talk positively about the optimistic situation."
"That's what she said to me. Let's wait and see for a while. I think that if it is not necessary, she is still a person who loves life very much. There is no need to hide anything from us."
……
"I haven't come yet... won't it delay the next thing?"
"I try to spare noon time as much as possible, if you have something urgent..."
"I'm fine today."
Basically, it was a question-and-answer conversation. After a few words, maybe I felt that I had exhausted what I could say, or maybe I felt too uncomfortable sitting here. Qin stood up and looked at the thick documents on the table. , apologized, "Suddenly remembered that there are still things to do..."
I can just think about nothing, but she can't.
It's better to put down the work in hand and take time to sit down and drink a cup of coffee, which is already the limit of what she can do.
"Just go and do your work." Gu Bai signaled Qin not to worry about himself, and picked up a newspaper casually, not knowing who put it here.
He flicked the newspaper and didn't say much, anyway, the other party could understand whether he said it or not.
Qin then apologized again, and walked towards the desk, probably because she had been sitting for too long, Gu Bai saw her subconsciously put her hands behind her and rubbed her sore waist.
It suddenly occurred to him that there were still a few chairs in the system space, which he had forgotten to take out.
When the Songs Sound: Chapter 224 Little Girls Don't Know How to Cherish Theirselfs
Oh, my back hurts.
I had suspected her backache a long time ago, who could bear it after sitting for so long every day, this time I finally caught it.
Gu Bai couldn't help thinking that Qin is only about 20 years old this year, if this continues, after another ten years or so, will all the diseases like lumbar muscle strain and frozen shoulder come back.
Barbara, your sister is dangerous.
Speaking of this, he remembered one thing, that is, he still doesn't know how old Qin is.
I only know that she must be an adult, and older than 19 years old, but a little younger than myself.
The reason why I bring it up is because I often forget this point - when getting along with Qin, there is always an illusion of facing peers, but in fact she is indeed a little younger than herself.
But it happened to be such a young girl, decades ago, she could even call out her brother's existence with confidence; but now when she sees her, she is always speechless.
Therefore, occasionally the idea of "what's there to hesitate, isn't it just a little girl?" Although it doesn't help in itself, it seems to add courage.
When people face someone younger than themselves, they always feel that they can use this to gain more dominance, but this is a naive idea.
At least Gu Bai felt that he was quite naive.What's the use of being smaller than yourself, what should be or what should be.
It took just a dozen seconds, but at the same time he made a conclusion on the random thoughts in his mind, Qin also returned to the table, turned and sat down;
His eyes moved away from her waist just right, otherwise he would be discovered, and he might be misunderstood as looking at something else.
"Just call me if you have anything to do." Qin explained again, and after he nodded, he lowered his head and focused on the document in front of him.
Gu Bai opened the newspaper in his hand and browsed casually.
After reading the first line, probably only memorized the page title and date, he raised his eyes again and looked at Qin's chair.
An ordinary wooden chair, I remember that there was a layer of cushion covering it, which was blocked by Qin's body at this time, but it didn't prevent him from recalling that the cushion was almost as thin as a finger.
No wonder it hurts my butt... oh no, it's why my back hurts.
And the style of the chair is the kind that can be seen everywhere in the Knights.
Since most of the day is spent on this table and chair, I don't know how to change it to something more comfortable.He couldn't help but slander like this.
Sometimes he felt that Qin didn't cherish himself very much, and it was only at this time that he could paradoxically see her "little girl".
To be able to see an unworldly side from this deputy leader is amazing enough.
This kind of ignorance of the world does not mean that there is anything lacking in dealing with people, but specifically refers to how she treats herself.
