Last Totem Novel - Chapter 64
Chapter 64 Posterior Approach
No matter how poor a place was, it would still be a bit rich. Luoyan Town was no exception. There were three ancient manors at the foot of the mountain in the east. Blue brick glazed tiles, marble enclosure is the Ling Family’s “Lin Hai Manor”, ancient European-style stone houses, masonry enclosure is the Horton Villa of the Horton Family, red brick white tiles, black iron fence is the Sima Family’s “Drinking Horse Red Building”.
These three families had been in Luoyan Town for hundreds of years. The Ling Family built ships, the Huodun Family was a shipping merchant, and the Sima Family was a scholarly family with a large number of talents.
After leaving the shipyard, Captain Xia Yihan brought Accountant Wu from the clouds to the path outside Horton Villa. It was noon now, and the sun shone through the sparse cedar trees and shattered the towering walls of Horton Villa. The walls were covered with withered yellow vines, giving the entire path an ancient and tranquil feeling.
The captain walked in front of him, stopping from time to time to touch the wall. Accountant looked a little strange and asked, “Boss, what are you doing?”
Instead of answering, the captain asked him, “How long have you been with me?”
Accountant was stunned for a moment, then replied expectantly, “Almost ten years.”
“It’s not an increase in wages.” The captain hurriedly explained.
The accountant immediately went into a daze and said weakly, “Then why are you asking?”
“I mean, how much have you learned after following me for so long? Do you know what is most important to us pirates?” Said the captain.
“Fierce, vicious!” Accountant said angrily, but the captain shook his head. “Strength, armor!” The captain continued to shake his head. “Power, gold coins!” The captain shook his head.
“Could it be picking up girls?” Asked Accountant, and the captain shook his head.
‘”Domineering,” “Scud,” “murderous eyes,” “shameless souls,” “rogue hearts,” “thick-skinned people,” “capable of speaking,” “capable of swimming three kilometers,” “sleeping and snoring,” Accountant said a series of things, but the captain still shook his head. Finally, Accountant spread out his hand and said, “That’s all. I don’t know anything else.”
“Yes” The captain pondered for a moment before suddenly stopping. He grabbed a vine-covered brick on the outer wall with his fingers. He exerted all of his strength and pulled out the entire brick. Then, he raised the brick in his hand and said with an imposing manner, “Back!”
There was a small bag of money and a pistol wrapped in oil paper in the hole in the wall. The captain took out his money bag and opened it. There were five gold coins in it. Wherever he went, as long as he had enough money, he would hide some money and weapons for a rainy day. As the pirate leader, he had to be prepared to flee for his life at all times. After withdrawing the money, the captain restored the scene. If he didn’t look carefully, he wouldn’t be able to see anything unusual.
“Boss, you can’t believe you hid the money in the wall of the Horton Clan.” Accountant sighed.
The captain laughed and said, “This place is good. Normal people won’t come over if they have nothing to do.”
After taking these 5 gold coins, he now had 107 gold coins. He was getting closer and closer to his target. Next, the captain brought Accountant to the Sima Clan’s Drinking Horse Red Building.
“You also hid money here?” Looking at the Sima Clan’s high iron fence, Accountant could not imagine where the pirate leader would hide the money.
“Learn from me.” The captain smiled mysteriously and led Accountant around to the back of the Red House. Through the pitch black iron fence, one could see a small door at the side of the building. This small door leads to the kitchen and is a common passage for servants.
At this time, the vestibule garden of the Red Drinking Horse Building was covered in snow and was completely silent. No one wants to be outdoors at this time of year unless it is necessary.
Outside the fence was a half-man tall boulder. The captain crouched down in the leeward and stared fixedly at the small door. This squat lasted for half an hour. The accountant beside him was so cold that his entire body trembled. He said in a trembling voice, “Boss, it’s so … so cold. What … what are you waiting for?”
“Shh” The captain made a silent gesture.
At this moment, the small door opened and a fat aunt squeezed out with a basin in her hand. The captain hurriedly helped the stone up. He was so cold that he couldn’t stand up straight.
‘”Hey” The captain shouted in a low voice as he waved to the fat aunt to signal her to come over.
“Boss, I … I really … I admire you so much, even … I won’t let Auntie off …”
When the fat aunt approached, the captain leaned against the iron fence and smiled foolishly, “Auntie, it’s so … so cold …”
The fat aunt frowned, crossed her waist, and shouted in a rough voice, “Go home if you’re cold! What are you sneakily hiding here for!”
“Auntie, can you … can you give me some hot water to drink? Drink … I’ll leave after drinking. You … look at me … I can’t even walk anymore.”
“Sneaky! You can tell at a glance that it’s not a good thing!” After the fat aunt finished cursing, the bucket twisted its waist and went back …
Looking at the figure disappearing from the small door, Wu Congyun couldn’t help but ask, “Boss … Boss, what are you waiting for? If we wait any longer, we’ll all freeze to death.”
“It’s fine.” The captain waved his hand and said, “When she comes back, she’ll talk to someone and say, ‘There are two sneaky beggars outside.'”
“We are bandits, not beggars!” Accountant shouted.
“Bullshit, you’re still a bandit. Is there a bandit as cold-blooded as you?”
‘”Yes, yes” Accountant nodded, but he muttered in his heart, “Aren’t you afraid of the cold?”
After a while, the small door opened again. This time, it was a 13-year-old or 14-year-old girl. Her facial features were very delicate, and she looked like a little sister next door.
The girl looked around as if she was looking for something. Seeing this, the captain’s eyes lit up as he stood up and waved excitedly at the girl.
Accountant muttered in a low voice, “He’s really not a human being. He won’t even let go of a little girl …”
The captain turned around and asked him, “What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”
“No … I’m fine, it’s too cold. Beat … Tremble.” Accountant hurriedly explained.
“Be careful.” The captain threatened.
In the blink of an eye, the girl ran over and grabbed the iron fence with both hands, shouting excitedly, “Uncle ~ Uncle ~”
“So good.” The captain touched the girl’s head through the fence and said, “It’s growing so fast. I haven’t seen her for months. She’s getting prettier. She’ll be a big beauty in a few years.”
“Really?” The girl asked, and the captain nodded. The girl jumped up happily.
“Where’s Miss Sima?” The captain changed the subject and asked another question.
The girl was immediately unhappy. She pouted and said, “I knew it, Eldest Young Miss.”
“Look what I brought you?” After saying that, the captain scratched his entire body for a long time under the girl’s expectant gaze. Finally, he took out a hairpin that emitted a faint blue light from his inner pocket.
Seeing the hairpin, Accountant’s eyes went straight. This hairpin was made from the teeth of the Deep Sea King Serrated Tiger Shark. Its hardness was comparable to diamonds, and it had to be polished repeatedly with a high-concentration laser before it could be formed. It was also embedded with seven immeasurably valuable dark blue pearls of varying sizes.
“Heavens, the Deepblue Pearl, what is he doing?” Accountant shouted in his heart, almost wanting to reach out and snatch it back. However, it was already too late. The girl put on an exquisite hairpin and jumped back with a sweet smile.
At this moment, the accountant’s heart also pounded with the girl, disappearing into the small wooden door …
He stared blankly at the small wooden door, forgetting the flow of time, forgetting the cold of winter. Only when the snowflakes covered his shoulders did he regain his senses blankly.
There was another girl in front of him.
The girl was in her early twenties and was very beautiful. Her shoulders were wider than the average girl’s, her figure was round and she wore a pair of large round-rimmed glasses. There was a mature charm and a dense scroll aura, and his entire body emitted a kind of intellectual beauty. His movements were graceful and graceful, indifferent without losing any temperature, and steady without losing any energy.
The overall feeling was that his heart was still like water, and his heart was intelligent and orchid-like.
Accountant had been with the captain for almost ten years. For so many years, he didn’t like the women around the captain. Only today, although he didn’t like it, he couldn’t find anything wrong with it.
“Student Xia Yihan, good afternoon.”
Her voice was gentle and gentle, and her pronunciation was very clear. It sounded very comfortable.
“I’m sick” said the captain pitifully. The girl in front of him was called Sima Ren, the eldest young miss of the Sima Clan.
The girl smiled and asked softly, “When will she die?”
“Almost” The captain said weakly, as if he would die at any moment.
Looking at the boss pretending, Accountant tilted his body and almost lost his balance. Therefore, he made a very important decision, that is, to stand further away, not seeing is clear, not hearing is clear, this is good for everyone.
After Accountant left, Sima Ren asked softly, “What are your wishes before you die?”
“Many wishes” At this moment, the captain was pondering how to bring the topic to gold coins. His logic was very simple. Since he was sick, he needed money to treat his illness.
“Another shot?” When he asked, Sima Ren’s expression was very serious, without the slightest temptation. His tone was also very calm, as if he was engaged in an academic discussion. However, this huge contrast was like a fuse that ignited explosives, causing him to almost lose control in an instant.
Fortunately, he had eaten the Fire Reducing Spiritual Medicine from Ling Zhenyu just now. Otherwise, he would definitely be like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep, his head blank, and he would have no worries about anything else.
“I want money.” The captain straightened his heart and said the purpose directly. Facing this girl whose heart was as bright as a mirror and who was as clever as a clumsy girl, twisting and turning around was simply an insult to her intelligence.
Just as he finished speaking, Sima Ren raised his hand and threw something over the iron fence. As soon as the captain picked it up, he grabbed it heavily, accompanied by a “crash” sound. He didn’t need to look at it to know that it was gold coins. The captain was puzzled. It was impossible for a young miss to carry money with her. Moreover, she was at her own house. How could she guess that he was here to ask for money?
“How did you …”
Sima Ren interrupted him, “What else can you do besides ask for money if you come to see me at this time?” The captain broke out in cold sweat. This girl looked at him like she was looking at transparent glass. She could see everything clearly. How terrifying.
“If you have something to do, you can go do it. Anyway, you have nothing to do now.” Sima Ren continued. This was another sentence with a pun. With a slightly lower IQ, it was impossible to have a pleasant conversation.
“Alright, then … then I’ll go.” “En, be careful on the way.”
Just as the captain was about to turn around, Sima Ren stopped him and reminded him, “I’m twenty-two this year.”
“Mm, very good, very young. Look at me, I’m already in my thirties.”
“You still have two years.” “Ah?” “I am a student of chemical engineering. I can dispense 136 kinds of deadly poisons.”
“So powerful!” The captain gave a thumbs up.
“Anyway, if I marry someone else, I’ll have to poison you to death.” Sima Ren said casually.
“As for it?” The captain asked pitifully.
“As for.” Sima Ren smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I will die with you.”
“As for it?” Repeated the captain.
“As for the power of one million.” Sima Ren said word by word.
“Not the only one. This is the bottom line.” The captain took a back seat.
“I don’t care about that. It’s up to you.” Sima Ren replied straightforwardly. Just as the captain was about to say yes, her voice sounded again, “Fifteen times a month, regardless of whether you can do it or not!”
The captain was speechless for a moment and could not think of a way to get the most out of it. By the time he thought of it, the Iranian had already walked far away, leaving behind only a faint figure …
