Chapter 338 (1/2)
Old grandmother's tavern, a corner of the table, big Ivan angrily sat there, gulping beer.
As he drank, he murmured to Marcos, who was sitting beside him.
”I don't look like a good man?”
”Of course, why should I look like a good man?”
”In Lucia, you're pretty, you have a little white face, you look like a good man It means that you will be beaten, exploited, robbed, or even Hey, you know that
”My appearance is hard, strong, rough and fierce, just like basalt on frozen land. This is what a good man of Lucia should look like Girls, daughters in law, widows, and A lot of noble women like me
Big Ivan curled his lips and glanced at the old lady Mary sitting opposite Joe: ”old woman, don't know how to appreciate the beauty of pure men!”
With a big spoon of potato in his left hand, Joe was holding a big spoon from the soup pot.
So he didn't hear what Ivan was saying.
Therefore, he did not notice that old lady Mary's wrinkled face twitched, her ears slightly picked, and she cast an extremely fierce look at big Ivan.
As fast as lightning, Ivan and Marcos, as well as the brothers of Hibiscus syriacus and Platycodon grandiflorum, all failed to notice the change of old lady Mary's eyes.
”Joe, eat more Poor boy, so you've solved all your troubles now? ” Old lady Mary's kind eyes were over Joe. With a kind smile, she gently told Joe not to be polite and let go.
Joe swallowed the delicious brisket in his mouth and let out a puff of satisfaction. He looked up, looked at old lady Mary and nodded: ”it's all solved, and I'm lucky to meet her highness Salian Tut, he is a good man, he helped me solve these problems Well, there is an old highness named Mata XIII, who is also a good man
Just as Joe was eating and drinking, he talked about his experiences these days.
For fear of the old lady's worry, Joe scooped out a big spoon of potato and beef brisket and put it into his mouth. While chewing, he murmured vaguely: ”please don't worry. I've made a lot of money as well as no trouble No, no, I went from a police officer to an imperial soldier I wanted to be an imperial soldier since I was a child, but I never wanted to be a policeman. ”
Joe shook his head and murmured a few complaints, such as ”the cruel old man” and ”the unfortunate suitor.”.
Old lady Mary looked at Joe with a smile: ”you just said that you use meritorious service to wash away the crime Your merits are due to your offering to his highness Salian A lot of good things? ”
”Joe, I'm really curious about the good things that can help such a big empire. You It's hard to get it? ”
Old Mary looked at Joe tenderly.
Joe was stunned. He put down his spoon and sighed heavily. His white and round face twitched violently: ”isn't it Well, it cost me a lot of money. Damn it, it's a good thing that I spent a lot of money on. ”
Shaking his head and sighing deeply again, Joe murmured, ”but I didn't lose money. Those damned junks, they still gave me enough compensation These things should be given to the Empire. ”
Joe looked through the window at the clouded northwest. ”With those good things, gorkin would be safer on the front line, right? Besides, he must be able to beat those bastards to scream... ”
Mary's eyes became more gentle and warm.
Joe shook his head, grabbed the spoon, and scooped himself another big spoon of meat.
He chewed the delicious food wantonly and looked at old Mary anxiously: ”but you don't seem to be in a good mood? It was a bit scary when you rushed in. Are you in trouble? ”
With his left hand slapping his chest hard, Joe pointed to Ivan, who was sitting in the corner of the pub: ”see this guy? Da Ivan, he's a Lucian, you know, lucians, all born thugs
”If you have any trouble, he can definitely help you out If he can't help you out of trouble, he can at least help you out of the trouble Joe bared his teeth and grinned at the old lady Mary: ”you see, I'm in the imperial capital now, which is a little powerful. If you give me two roast lamb legs...”
Old Mary laughed and scolded, then shook her head.
She squinted at big Ivan and snorted, ”Joe, you're a good boy. Don't follow this bad guy. You have to remember that you can keep a dog or a group of dogs to bite you, but you Don't be spoiled by a vicious dog. Let yourself become a vicious dog
Joe looked at old Mary in surprise: ”what do you say It's very philosophical. It's just Wait a minute. Let me write it down. I can keep a vicious dog to help me bite, but I can't become a vicious dog myself That's very reasonable! ”Joe said it over and over.
Big Ivan slapped the table hard and smashed a heavy wooden square table. He stood up at once and pointed to old lady Mary and swore at her He was compared to a vicious dog? Asshole, is there a big dog like him in the world?
But as soon as he got up, Marcos slapped him on the shoulder.
