Chapter 760 Dragon Horn Flute(1/2)
The girl was awakened by the awakened Green Algae Head, but her first reaction after opening her eyes was not to ask about the origin of Green Algae Head, but to quickly check whether she was dressing properly.
Seeing that her clothes were not messy, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, but her face soon turned red. At this time, Green Algae Head also looked at the girl in a daze, with three eyes facing each other, and there was a strange atmosphere.
However, compared to the girl's redder face, the green algae head's face was becoming more and more confused, and the girl who had been staring for too long subconsciously lowered her head.
Seeing the girl suddenly move, Green Algae suddenly became nervous. He quickly looked around and saw the sword placed beside him. He grabbed it instantly and looked at the girl vigilantly.
However, when holding a knife, the green algae head always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't say it if it was inappropriate, just felt very strange.
Seeing that Green Algae Head reacted so much, the girl was sitting quickly, and then said timidly: "Sir Samurai, my name is Xingyulong, just call me Along."
"Aaron?"
Hearing this name, Green Algae frowned slightly, and had never heard of it, but he did not delve into it, but just shook his head and said negatively: "I am not a warrior."
When she heard Green Algae Head say that she was not a warrior, Aaron's body was no longer so tense, but relaxed, and his sitting position slowly changed from sitting directly to sitting horizontally. She looked at Green Algae Head and asked:
"Then are you from Wano Country? Or are you a pirate from overseas?"
Thinking of this possibility, Aaron's body suddenly became tense again. She originally saved the strange man in front of her because she thought he was a warrior, but if it was the rumored pirate.
"Pirate? It doesn't seem to be."
Green Algae scratched the uneven hair on his forehead. It was obvious that there was a piece of scalp, which was shorter than other hairs, and it seemed that there were scars when touched.
When Aaron heard Green Algae denied that he was a pirate, his body relaxed again, and then asked, "What about your name and surname?"
Green Algae shook his head and said, "I don't remember, where did you find me? Where are my companions?"
"Your companion? Who are your companions?"
"I don't remember."
Hearing Green Algae Head's answer, several black lines appeared on Aaron's face, but he said patiently: "Think about it carefully? All information is good. I asked Uncle Sakamoto to inquire when he went out to sea.
It is best if you can remember where you live, or your last name and name, so that you can be sure whether you are from home or abroad."
"Subject name of life" Green Algae head scratching her head for a long time, and said tentatively: "Semo Shiki?"
"Frost Moon?" Aaron also thought for a while, but had never heard of this surname. However, she still said, "It sounds like our country of Wano."
"Wano Country? Am I from Wano Country?"
Green Algae scratched his head, but was still very confused. Aaron nodded and said, "It should be, what about your name? I heard that many warriors will leave clues related to themselves in their sword stems, why don't you take a look?"
Hearing this, Green Algae looked at the knife in his hand. After shedding, he looked at the blade pattern on it and fell into deep thought. After a while, he suddenly spit out a word: "Dragon Horse!"
"If you need it, of course you need it. A pound of soba noodles costs seventy yuan. You have to eat at least five pounds of a meal. Adding to the tomb bone soup, it costs about five hundred yuan per meal. Two meals a day, it is almost one silver.
This is just the least. After all, you have eaten so many Mingmen rolls. I originally only prepared the ones used in the store. Now, with you, it will definitely not be enough to eat them. Then I can only buy fish, which will cost more money."
Along was seriously calculating the accounts with Longma, but Longma stared out the window. When Along finally took a breath, Longma pointed out the window and said:
"That house is made of gold, so it can definitely be exchanged for a lot of money, right?"
Looking along Longma's fingers, Along's brows jumped, suppressed his anger and said, "That's my room! Where can I sleep if you demolished it?!
Also, gold is the most valuable thing. It is heavy and soft. No one wants it to be made into farm tools. It will be deformed and useless in a few days after making it into kitchen utensils. Who would want that kind of thing?"
Hearing Ah Long's roar, Longma took out his itchy ears and felt a little confused. He always felt that the shiny gold should be very expensive. Did he remember it wrong? Forget it, he couldn't remember anything anyway.
But didn’t Aaron sleep with him? She has her own room? Then why do you still sleep with her? I really don’t understand.
"So Is there anything else I can do?"
Longma asked sincerely. After all, eating for free is not a good thing. He suddenly remembered something that someone had told him. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"So, you hit me in the head so I don't have to pay."
"."
Aaron looked at Longma like an idiot, but when she thought of this being a patient with a head injury and obviously having serious sequelae, she had nothing to blame, just looked outside the door and said:
"In this way, you can help me chop wood. Your swordsmanship should be able to chop wood, right?"
Hearing this, Longma patted his chest and said, "Stop chopping wood, even steel, I can cut it off!"
“Haha~”
Ah Long rolled his eyes on Longma and cut off the steel. If this man could really cut off the steel, he would have become a retainer in the Daming Mansion long ago. How could he not even be a warrior?
"Then you come with me first and see how fast you chop wood."
Along brought Longma to the yard. The messy wood piled in the yard was also neat and had much more regular shapes. It was obviously chopped firewood. Along pointed to the chopped firewood and said:
"Just cut these for me like that."
“How many cuts?”
Longma asked seriously, so serious that Aaron felt a little confused. She waved her hand and said, "You cut it first. It will take quite a while to ask for information or find other business for you.
If you can cut as much as you can, you can cut me as much as you can. I'm going to open a shop. I'll come here to deliver food to you at noon."
Aaron obviously didn't have much hope. After all, these woods were accumulated over the years, especially in winter and early spring. Many of the frozen trees were dragged home by her.
If she had cut down herself, it would probably take a month or even longer. Even if Longma, a poor swordsman, has talent in cutting trees, it would take at least half a month, right?
In half a month, whether it is asking someone to find the news of "Frost Moon Dragon Horse" or helping Long Horse find a job, it is more than enough. What's more, Long Horse, who has just recovered, may not be as fast as hers!
After all, everyone needs firewood, and she can save so much because she cuts fast. Ordinary people cut one, but she can cut two. In winter, many families without young and strong labor will ask her to help cut trees and collect firewood.
This is also an additional source of income for Aaron. Of course, this money needs to be used to buy fish in winter. After all, she does not know how to fish under the ice, so she can only buy it.
"I understand, I will cut it for you as much as possible!"
Longma nodded solemnly. Seeing that Longma had such a positive attitude, Along finally smiled. At least this person had a very good attitude, and she was not saving a ungrateful wolf.
Along went to open a store, but the restaurant is actually connected to the home. Therefore, even when he was cooking, Along could hear the sound of cutting trees from the backyard.
Along was very satisfied when he heard that Longma had been working hard, but when it was almost noon, the sound of cutting trees stopped. However, it was the time to be busy, so Along didn't care, just thought that Longma was tired.
It was not until afternoon that Ah Long made ten bowls of noodles and planned to reward Longma, but after cooking the noodles, she returned to the backyard to ask Longma to eat noodles, but she was stunned.
Because there are no large pieces of wood or whole tree stumps in the backyard, they are all turned into regular wooden strips and piled up in the small yard.
The neat arrangement saved a lot of space in the originally crowded backyard, making it look much more spacious. Longma was stunned at this time when he was watching a test stand.
Seeing the worn-out test cutting platform, she was originally surprised that Longma cut all the wood into pieces in the morning and was stunned, but soon, she shook her head, walked to Longma and said:
"Let's go, I'm going to lunch."
"Are you a swordsman?"
Ryuma turned his head, curious and happy in his one-eyed eyes, but Aaron shook his head and said, "No, this is my brother's, but he has been away from Wano Country for many years."
As Ah Long said, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously. Obviously, her younger brother made her feel proud. Longma continued to ask, "Where has he been?"
"He went overseas to find a very powerful samurai. He heard that the samurai had repelled the flying dragon. He told me that when he was twenty years old, he would come back and become a samurai, so that I would not have to open a store."
Aaron said, his smile could no longer be hidden, but Longma frowned and murmured: "Repel the flying dragon"
"What's wrong? Have you heard of that warrior?"
Along asked curiously, Longma shook his head and said, "I don't know the warrior who repels the flying dragon, but I seem to have seen someone cut off the giant dragon."
"Is that true? But Wano Country does not seem to have such a powerful samurai. I really hope Wano Country also has such a samurai protection."
Along was not serious, nor did he think what Longma said was true. After all, with Longma’s current memory, he said that he was a cut off giant dragon, so Along would not find it strange.
"My brother should be back soon. I'll introduce you to you then! Let's go for lunch now. After lunch, I'll measure your height and make you a piece of clothing."
Aaron said to Longma with a smile. Longma nodded. In fact, he also smelled his clothes, which were very strong, just like jealous kombu.
Moreover, the clothes were as hard as cardboard, and there were many gaps. I just moved a little, and the clothes were torn several times. I couldn't do it if I didn't change them.
As for the fact that Aaron has to spend another expense? The debt is too high and he will not suppress himself. Then he can find a way to compensate.
In the days that followed, Longma lived in Along's house. After the clothes were made, Longma often ran from the backyard to the front store. According to what he said, he was looking for the toilet and took the wrong path.
The old diners also went from surprise at the beginning, to teasing later, to calm acceptance in the end.
Aaron did not ask about the "Frost Moon Dragon Horse" from the diners coming and going, and found a few jobs for Long Horse, but either he was deported if he was too poor in his skills, or he was fired for several days after he got lost.
After a few times, Aaron no longer had the idea of finding a job for Longma, but let Longma stay at home and occasionally asked him to help the restaurant serve.
Although Longma always delivers the wrong table, there are not many options available in the restaurant, and few diners will complain. At most, complain about Longma does not consider coming first and then arriving, and serving the later diners first.
And the dragon horse gradually stopped wearing its own sword. After all, it was not available. With the long sword on the waist, it was inconvenient to work. Once you turn around in a narrow store, you might overturn the diner's dishes.
Moreover, during the time when they crossed the sword, ronin often came to cause trouble in the store. After all, for those ronin, swords are rare. They imitated the shape of warriors, and the one they lacked the most was a sword.
Of course, what is even more lacking is the practice of warriors, not only in terms of force, but also in terms of spirituality. The ronin did not succeed, and the dragon horse threw them into the sea with one hand.
But every time a ronin causes trouble, Aaron will lose half a day or even more business. After all, Longma is not afraid, and others are not that brave.
Although Along had never told Longma, there was a large part of the reason why Longma removed his knife, which was that he did not want to cause trouble for Along's store.
After removing the knife, the ronin group came to look for him, and Longma directly blamed the other ronin gangs, saying that they had been stolen. After a few times, the ronin gang fought many times and had no intention of finding Longma.
Longma will only maintain his sword in the backyard at night or early morning, or swing a few swords at the test-slashing platform, and even don’t buy the straw mat. After all, Ah Long has no money, and Longma has no money.
A few months later, the weather in Wano Country began to get colder, and occasionally snow and rain would be mixed. Aaron bought an axe to allow Ryuma to swing his knife in public.
During the day, the two worked in the store, and at night they went outside the city to cut trees and resold them to those in the city who needed firewood. They didn't make much money, so they could only fill the extra expenses after Longma arrived.
