The early morning sun has just shone in Barb Clay City, and Daddy Blueberry's tavern is already bustling with activity.
Daddy Blueberry's tavern can only be said to be the liveliest in Barclay City, but it is not the most comfortable. People who value themselves never come here to drink. Although they will all admit that the taste of the blueberry tavern's dark beer is actually the best among all the taverns in the King of Barbuckle City.
The people who come to drink at the Blueberry Tavern are usually the workmen of the trade—farmers, gatekeepers, gardeners, tailors, blacksmiths, watchmen, grooms, pig traders, and all kinds of guys from small workshops, etc. Occasionally, you can see two or two lower-level soldiers with meager salaries. Or, the poor students who put their books on the table and whisper to each other.
Almost every table in the tavern was packed to the point where it was difficult to get even one more person in. Apart from the annual Harvest Festival carnival, such noisy scenes can only be seen when the new king ascends the throne.
The protagonist in the tavern today is a tall and burly man. He is talking happily and talking loudly. The drinkers gathered around him.
"Trinville, are you bragging?" A red-nosed blacksmith was holding a glass of beer with a doubtful look on his face.
The man called Trinville was a man with a red face and curly brown hair. He was proudly telling his heroic deeds to the crowd around him, enjoying the respect of the drinkers. He couldn't tolerate anyone doubting what he was saying.
He shouted, "Rabbi, how dare you not believe what I say? Tell me - has anyone in Apodoli ever dared to question my character as you have just done?"
Rabbi the blacksmith laughed. Several people also smiled and said: "Trinville, please don't take it to heart. You know, we have never doubted your character and ability. But what you just said, we really haven't heard anything about it." I don’t have any information about the incident. There is no notice posted at the city hall.”
"I'll let you guys see if I'm bragging soon! I think if you go out now, the news about Barbuckle might have been spread everywhere. Like I just said - from now on, you all You can go out safely and boldly." He said loudly.
"Hartsev, you can go through the woods to the south of Trigg Village or the ferry to the north to see your daughter Sally who just gave birth to your beautiful grandson. You can go however you want! There is nothing to do. Worried. Barnez, don't you also want to visit your brother? I heard you say it a long time ago - according to you, he is doing well. Go, go. You can go however you want. !
And you, my dear brother Humegor! Haven't you long wanted to send your mother-in-law, who has a dark face all day long, back to her own home? Save her from spanking you every morning for being lazy. Haha, only my big guy Vika has the best heart. I just used a few tricks to help you catch those robbers. Send her away quickly. With the same cleverness as your wife, I bet that she will never find a good excuse to stay in your house again - if you are not afraid of your wife acting bad, you can make her Sent away. "
People laughed. The silversmith Humegor's face was as red as a piece of iron freshly taken from the rabbi's furnace.
The silversmith smiled coquettishly, but couldn't help but ask: "Is this true? Did you really catch the horse thieves Stosey Brothers? I want to say, Brother Trinville, you really did something big. What a good thing!”
Someone in the noise was shouting: "I have said before that Trinville is the most capable hunter. Why do you only believe his words when you are drinking?"
Along with the noise of laughter, the silversmith proposed a toast to Trinville. Cheers erupted in the tavern.
"Tell us," someone suggested, "tell us how you caught those bad guys."
At this time, the expression on hunter Trinville's face was quite impressive. He curled his lips, as if he wasn't worthy of their request. However, friends who are familiar with him know that Trinville is just looking forward to making another request more enthusiastically. In fact, he couldn't wait to say it.
So when they winked and begged him again: "Trinville, tell me how you caught those bad guys. Come on, we can't wait to hear it." Trinville laughed. .
"Three!" he said. "Ever since I heard that they came to our country from the eastern port of Tiklise, I made up my mind. If I encounter them, I will teach them that they will come Wrong place! We Apodoli are not a paradise for them to rob and commit mischief. Yes, friends! I will do this even without a reward from the king. You all know what kind of person I am."
"Yes, yes." Many people echoed and raised their glasses.
"But Lord Yogana's menacing security guards failed to catch them. You are just one person, how did you do it?"
Trinville curled his lips disdainfully, showing a look of disdain.
"Please don't compare me with Master Yogana and his security guards. I am just a bounty hunter. Although I am not in the eyes of Master Yogana, I have my own methods. Of course, if I am doing I would be more than happy to do something I enjoy and at the same time earn a small bounty so that I can pay off Blueberry Daddy’s wine money in time.”
"I don't know how happy I am to hear you say that. If you pay me back the money now, I would be even happier." It was the thin and withered Blueberry Daddy who spoke.
"Don't disturb him, let Trinville continue talking. How did he catch those bad guys." The drinkers all said loudly.
"That's three!" Trinville drank up a glass of wine, and immediately someone shouted loudly and the bartender poured him a full glass. His friends all know that if you want to hear the best stories, you must keep the wine glass in front of him full.
He wiped the wine from his short beard and continued: "Like you, I heard about it from travelers coming and going in the tavern. I knew that the Stosey brothers ran into the old woods to the south and robbed those poor passers-by. .Didn’t anyone tell them that there was a hunter named Trinville in King Barbukele City! They dared not to take me seriously, so I had to remind them myself. I asked the blacksmith Rabbi to My armor was scrubbed clean and bright, and my sword was sharpened. Haha, he also told me at the time that it was best not to ask for trouble. Catching those three villains should not be my job. We have public security Officer! Yes, he said, 'We have the Sheriff who can help us!' Haha. Rabbi, is that what you said?"
The drinkers laughed. The blacksmith Rabbi hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother Trinville, everyone can testify, but I have always believed that you are the best hunter in Barbuckle. It is true! Everyone knows that when it comes to catching robbers, Judging from your abilities, all the security soldiers under Master Yogana put together are not as good as you alone! If you don’t believe it, you can ask them!"
Everyone laughed again and rushed to testify for the blacksmith, as if they would become the person who didn't believe the blacksmith's words if they spoke too late.
Trinville curled his lips again, but immediately said with a smile: "Of course, I know. Of course! So, I took my old buddy Thorpi with me. Although he was a bit old, he didn't have much strength when he went into battle. A horse can compete with it. I brought enough dry food and a few bottles of wine. Everything was ready. I searched at the foot of the Kisko Mountains for more than ten days, but I never found any trace of them at first. Think about it, I'm so big Don’t you think it’s strange that little Vika hasn’t come to drink Papa Blueberry’s wine for more than ten days?”
At this time, a younger tailor said with a smile: "But people say that you were seduced by Laili Leidere, who comes from the Eastern country, can sing, and can dance the most beautiful dance. That's what they say. There are so many people. Ever since the beautiful Miss Laili Rider first came to the King of Babklei City, and you listened to her song, you fell in love with that lady who is more beautiful than a fairy. That’s right, Groom Bendik said that he once saw with his own eyes that you had been following the beautiful Miss Riley Rider to the distant city of Scully. He also saw you in front of Riley Rider's theater. You were all courteous around her, but she ignored you. Bendick even said that he even saw you shed tears. That’s what Bendick said, right? I think everyone here heard it?!"
Now everyone in the tavern burst into laughter. Trinville was so angry that he wanted to snatch all the needles from the tailor's shop and sew Bendick's mouth tightly. It would be better if he couldn't even breathe to relieve his hatred. If it weren't for the fact that there was a table across the way, he would really reach out and grab the groom who slandered him and beat him severely.
The groom was a nimble young man. He ran away cleverly, and did not forget to turn around and shout: "Trinville, maybe that person is not you. But I swear, that person really looks like you - maybe he is." Your brother!"
Trinville stamped his feet and beat his chest and shouted: "Damn Bendik, when you were sucking my mother's milk when you were a child, I should have strangled you to death in the cradle! Where do I have other brothers!"
Everyone laughed and tried to persuade him. After laughing for a while, Trinville continued to tell his story. "I have been praying, hoping that I will encounter the three robbers early. In this way, I can come back early to drink with my friends. Just the night before yesterday, I searched the east meadow to the north. I went back to the swamp and returned to the old forest, but found nothing. I was a little discouraged, so I was ready to call it a day and find a place to drink cold wine. You don't know, it was raining lightly at the time, and I was soaked to the skin, cold and hungry. I hate these guys. If they had caught me earlier, I wouldn't have suffered so much. Hey, at this time, I saw a carriage appearing on the dark forest road, about half a mile away from me. mile. I originally wanted to go up and say hello to the people in the carriage, so as to remind them to be careful of bandits. Not many people dared to drive in that forest at night.
Suddenly, several black figures came out. As soon as they got up, they knocked the driver off his horse and drove the carriage deep into the forest. They didn't care how miserable the girl in the carriage was crying! There’s no mistaking it, it must be those scoundrels from Stosey! I was so excited that my heart almost burst out of my chest. I couldn’t help but raise my hands and shed tears of gratitude for God’s care! Even he couldn't bear to see me alone anymore, pouring and drinking pitifully in the light rain of the dark night. I've even begun to think that I can finally have a lively drink with you in Daddy Blueberry's pub. At that time, I couldn't care less about my old friend Thorby. I gave it a hard whip—oh, may it forgive me. I rushed forward..."
"You are so brave, Trinville!" Someone couldn't help but interjected again.
"Don't interrupt!" the others shouted. They were all captivated by Trinville's story.
"...My good Sorbius overtook them, the three scoundrels! I stopped their carriage, and persuaded them in a most amiable manner to surrender. I have always been so kind, as you all know. What a pity, They actually betrayed my good intentions and had the audacity to try to resist. Of course, I must admit that these three guys are not as useless as you think.
But who am I, the big man Vika! I just moved one of my fingers and knocked their boss off his horse. As a result, they became the most docile robbers I have ever seen. They would be as obedient as they wanted. I gave only one order, and they scrambled to tie themselves to the carriage, like grasshoppers on a string that children hold in their hands. Just like that, friends, I caught the three bad guys and also saved the little daughter of Sabuche, the head of Trigg Village. That's it! Ha ha! "
The audience praised Trinville for his bravery.
But Trinville could tell that some people still had doubts. In order to completely dispel their suspicions, he took out something from the pocket beside him.
"I took the three guys to Trige Village and met the village chief of Sabuche who was worried about his daughter. When he saw that I had brought his daughter back safe and sound, he didn't bother to scold her. Listening to his words, Yu Ye took the risk to meet her lover, but the father and daughter hugged each other and cried, leaving me, the big man Vika, who saved his daughter's life and reputation, aside. However, after Mr. Sabuche cried , still thinking of me, his whole family is very grateful to me. They gave this to me to express their gratitude."
Everyone saw that he was holding a piece of bright and clean gold velvet in his hand. He solemnly took out the sword that he had made such a great contribution to and wiped it.
"I couldn't accept even the merest gift of thanks from anyone, but I couldn't refuse their kindness. Besides, it wasn't money, so I accepted it. It also had the mark of Chief Trigg on it. Would anyone recognize it?"
Yes, it's true! What little doubts there were were vanished in an instant. The drinkers poured out all the most beautiful compliments imaginable on Trinville's head without hesitation. Thus, the glory brought to him by Trinville's unparalleled heroic deeds reached its climax at this moment.
Countless wine glasses were raised. Everyone toasted to him noisily. Trinville's red face became even redder.
This is such a beautiful moment, but some people are still cheering without knowing it: "Everyone knows that the three daughters of the village chief of Sabuche are all beauties. Are you looking at those charming faces? Is that why you sent them back?"
Trinville raised his chin, raised his eyes and said harshly: "Ha! My big man Vika has never paid attention to women. If you dare to make fun of me again, I swear to this glass of wine in front of me. —Before it goes into my stomach, I will pour it all into your neck." Everyone laughed.
They liked to joke with Trinville, and they also liked to see Trinville blushing.
The owner of the Blueberry Tavern, the little old man Blueberry, also shouted to Trinville: "Well done, Trinville. I can't even remember the last time I saw such an exciting man. Oh, what you did today is a good one! My child, you can drink as much as you want today, and it’s all mine. But you still have to pay me back the wine money you owed me before.” Drinker They laughed again.
Even if all the happiness comes at the same time, no one will have too much.
