Heimarian Odyssey

When Locke was done, Lady Boss came out with 2 plates of food. She first put the food on a table, then went back to the bar and took out a candle that had burned to the size of a thumb. After lighting it, the pub The inside is a little brighter. Xia Qian noticed the re-wrapped package on the bar counter and the slightly clean floor, and understood something, with a moving expression on her face. “Come and eat, sir.” Xia Qian greeted Locke.

“Um… I said you just cook something casually? Let’s have this for dinner?” Locke pointed to the 2 plates of black paste on the table in surprise. Locke knows that this is baked potato mash. When she was a child, the harvest at home was not good or is life. She often ate this when she encountered difficulties in her life.

“This… This is the only food I have here. I’m sorry, my lord.” Xia Qian blushed and said in a low voice, perhaps because she thought of something and felt like she was crying again.

“Forget it, I haven’t eaten mashed potatoes for a long time, just as the aftertaste has passed.” Seeing that this beautiful and alluring Lady Boss has a tendency to cry again, she quickly changed her words. To be honest, Locke is now a carnivorous creature that can eat meat all at once. It is really embarrassing for him to let him go back and eat roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes sprinkled with a little salt. Locke is very curious about what this woman is experiencing now. You know, the small thumb-sized candle on the table now can be replaced by Locke in the barracks, and you can get a delicious meal with meat. Candles are high-end items. Most of them are used by nobles. Because of their complicated craftsmanship, their prices are very high. They are rarely used by the people. That’s all, that’s all used by rich peasants and merchants with small assets. Uncle Yoshk’s military tents are used for lighting. They are only oil lamps. As for Locke’s military account, they can only rely on torch lighting to play cards and entertain the night time.

“I’m just curious, you are a very famous bar Lady Boss, you eat this every meal.” Locke said to the weeping Lady Boss jokingly, not waiting for Lady Boss to say anything, picking up the mashed potatoes When he got up, he was really hungry. He drank a lot of wine in the afternoon and didn’t eat anything, his stomach was burning up till now.

Lady Boss heard, wanted to say something, and saw Locke’s crude eating style at this time, so she swallowed what she wanted to say. Different from Locke’s rough eating style with a plate, Xia Qian eats with a spoon, spoon after spoon, as if she is enjoying something delicious, very elegant. Although the share that Xia Qian gave to Locke was twice as much as hers, Locke resolved the battle very quickly, and she still had a lot of meaning.

“Eat fast…” Xia Qian murmured, “Hey, I can’t eat anyway, you can help me eat some more.” After all, Xia Qian transferred half of the food on her plate to Locke’s plate. Locke did not have enough to eat, watching the beautiful and alluring Lady Boss give him his meal, without saying anything, picked up the plate and started fighting.

After Xia Qian put the last bit of mashed potatoes in her mouth, she looked up and found that Locke had already cocked her legs and looked at him with a smile in her eyes. Xia Qian couldn’t bear the man’s gaze a little, and quickly got up and put away the clean plates of the two people, and walked to the back kitchen.

When Xia Qian came back again, the two people sat on the second side of the table and fell silent again. Only the short candle in the center of the table was still swaying. “Let’s talk, why is life so bleak? According to your situation, it shouldn’t be like this.” Locke broke the calmness and asked first.

Seeing this man who intends to help herself, Xia Qian resisted the excitement in her heart and told the truth, “Although my tavern can make roughly 30 copper thalers a day, it can even reach 50 copper thalers when business is good, but The money almost didn’t belong to me in the end.” Xia Qian said with her head down.

“Snatched by those local gangsters? Like today?” Locke asked.

“En…” Xia Qian whispered, as if thinking of something bad again, the beautiful and alluring Lady Boss’s face showed distressing sadness again.

“How is it possible, just these gangsters? They don’t know that this tavern serves soldiers in the barracks? What about your husband? Isn’t he catching up with the high-level camp, he just has to say something to the high-level camp, I believe this Someone will solve the problem for you.” Locke asked in surprise.

“When people are hungry to a certain realm, they don’t think too much. These bastards are poor people who can’t survive. Now in this small town, only me and the group of women behind the tavern can receive money.” Xia Xia Akane explained the reason, and added a terrifying sentence, “Also, my husband didn’t want me…”

“En? Why?” Locke was really curious this time. This beautiful and alluring Lady Boss was abandoned by her husband. That person was kicked by a donkey? Don’t want such a beautiful wife.

“Since he got on your army, he has become the most powerful person in Giza town. Everyone in this town and refugees from other places have to flatter him. Now he lacks women.” Xia Qian smiled miserably, and then said, “Now the women behind the tavern who do skin and flesh trades are under his control, let alone my scumbag.”

“Perhaps it is to make up for me, he gave me the tavern.” Xia Qian brushed her hair and said, “Those gangsters were afraid of his reputation and the soldiers who drank here at first, but then they just don’t care if they are starving. Yes, every time my shop ran out of people, they came to grab money, and the more often they found out that my husband actually didn’t care about this tavern, and those bastards became more and more sophisticated.”

“Why don’t you ask for help from a soldier who is drinking here? If you ask for help from someone like me, someone should help you. After all, we still have to drink here.” Locke asked.

“Even if you can help, it’s only for a while. Those scumbags won’t let me go…” Xia Qian said sadly, “Now the ale in the tavern is saved before, because the money earned is robbed. With the skyrocketing prices, I haven’t brewed new wine for a long time, and it is estimated that it will be sold out in less than a week. I may be living out like the group of women behind the tavern…” The beautiful and alluring Lady Boss has a sad look on her face. .

“Do you want me to protect you all the time, instead of just teaching the gangsters once?” Locke changed directions and asked her with his legs upright.

Locke saw what was going on, Lady Boss’s sad cheeks flushed, and she bit her white teeth slightly nodded.

“Let’s not talk about me, I’m just a small Captain. I’m full of 10 people, and there are training in the camp. There are not enough people to stay here to protect you. Besides, I’m sure I’ll go to war again someday. , Even if I protect you now, what will happen after I leave?” Although Locke is willing to help her, it is the fact that Locke is not a person who can be easily tempted by beauty, she rationally rejected beautiful and alluring Lady Boss.

Xia Qian paled when she heard Locke’s refusal, and her eyes showed a desperate expression. The candle on the table had already burned to the bottom, and the faint flame on the verge of collapse finally went out after the last ray of white smoke burned out. , The tavern plunged into darkness again. The moonlight was good tonight. It came in persistently through the cracks in the window. The faint moonlight shone on the two people, who were like motionless stone sculptures painted in white wax.

“Woo…Woo…” The beautiful and alluring Lady Boss let out a whispered cry again. This bitter woman may be the most tearful in a year. She doesn’t know where her future is. She was confused and helpless. Locke is also helpless about this. This World is like this. There is no love for no reason, and no hate for no reason. Everyone has his own way of living. He can’t even guarantee to survive the war, let alone the ability to do so. Take care of someone you don’t know each other.

“Hey… the past few days I will let a few people come and watch the tavern. You can do business for a few days, and then take the money you earn to the Peters leader in the occupied area or go to your relatives.” or Moved by the cry of Lady Boss, Locke decided to help this beautiful woman as much as she could and showed her a way out. “I can only do this.” After that, Locke got up and prepared to leave. It was getting late and the camp was about to be closed.

After hearing Locke’s words, Lady Boss cried louder. The tears made the woman’s face stained, but she still cried, as if helpless to the fate.

Locke slowly walked towards the entrance of the tavern. He stopped persuading him. If you want to cry, just cry. Only after experiencing it can people become stronger. Lady Boss’s cries gradually lowered, and as Locke walked to the entrance of the tavern and was about to move the wooden plank in the entrance to leave, a warm body hugged him.

“You can’t let you help me in vain.” Lady Boss said hoarsely, “I have nothing but this tavern and a few barrels of wine left. Except for myself, I can’t think of a way to repay you.” Locke could hear this. The beautiful and alluring Lady Boss, in addition to repaying his thoughts, also has the emotion of grief to the extreme.

“You don’t have to be like this, we are actually…” Before Locke finished speaking, a fiery tongue blocked his mouth. Beautiful and alluring Lady Boss Xia Xi embraced Locke’s strong chest and kissed him wantonly, blocking him. Something to say.

Locke is not someone who can stand this situation. He hasn’t touched a woman for almost a month. Being kissed so passionately by Xia Qian made dry wood meet a raging fire, and he began to respond roughly to Xia. Qian, turned around and hugged her, ready to solve this charming fairy right here. “Don’t, don’t be here, go upstairs…” Xia Qian was also stunned by Locke’s fiery kiss, but she was still sober and urged Locke to go upstairs.
