"Chen Yao..."
Qiu Yunxi pinched Chenyao's waist.
"ok, ok, I got it."
Chen Yao also clearly saw the change in the expression on the man's face. He probably understood that this job meant a lot to him. He sighed, and Chen Yao stepped forward and patted Si Wen on the shoulder.
"Brother Siwen, come here."
The two walked aside.
"What? You want to help him?! It's a trivial matter for that scoundrel to disobey my military orders, but he actually behaved in such a disgraceful way towards your lover!"
"This is not a big deal to us, brother. But I think this job should be very important to him, so I'll give him a warning and punish him to clean the bathroom for a month or something..."
Chen Yao spread his hands and shrugged.
"Okay...now that you say so."
After the discussion between the two ended, Siwen returned to the queue.
"Brother Chenyao just said that he would forgive Rao Sepei for his shameless behavior towards his lover, and the military order punishment just now will be revoked!"
"Really? That's great! Thank you, Mr. Chenyao, you are such a broad-minded gentleman! And I am very sorry for your lover's rude behavior! I'm sorry! Ms. Qiu Yunxi..."
Rao Sepei bent down and bowed to Qiu Yunxi, and it seemed that he had indeed realized his mistake.
"Okay, the previous punishment of dismissal has been cancelled, but I still need to give you some punishment as a warning!"
"The punishment is changed to: Rouser Pei will be responsible for taking turns to clean the bathroom of the guard unit's residence for a month! And... turn over half a month's salary as military expenses! Do you have any objections?"
"No, no objection! Thank you, captain!"
Although he was still punished, it was much better than losing his job after all, so Rauser Pei naturally accepted it happily.
"Okay, then the punishment will start from tomorrow."
"Now you cut out the goblin's tongue, send it to the Big Bird Tavern, burn the body and then go on duty as usual. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Then take action!"
After receiving the order, a group of guards began to hurriedly dispose of the bodies, while Siwen led Chen Yao and his party into Shenmu Town.
"Let's go. We're new here. I have to do my best to treat you as a landlord and buy you a drink."
"No problem! Ahem! Then... dear, let's go."
Chen Yao puffed up his chest, held one arm behind his back, and signaled Qiu Yunxi to take his arm.
"No problem, honey."
Qiu Yunxi smiled sweetly and took Chen Yao's arm, looking gentle and virtuous.
Wen Xiang was by his side and he heard a nice voice. Chen Yao felt that his life was straight. The moment Qiu Yunxi held his arm, he gritted his teeth and made full preparations.
But... there was no pain as imagined, nor could I feel the cold murderous intention. Until Siwen led a group of people into the town, there was nothing abnormal about Ke Rener beside him. This was the most abnormal and terrifying thing. ! not...
"Wow! Brother Yao, the gate of this town is so big...Wow! The houses here are so beautiful!"
Qiu Yueli and Jiang Hu seemed extremely excited along the way. Qiu Yunxi leaned against Chen Yao, and his beautiful eyes kept wandering.
"Ahem... Lili, keep your voice down, don't disturb others' rest!"
Chen Yao turned to Qiu Yueli with a straight face.
"Oh, got it."
Yue Li lowered her head in disappointment.
"It's okay, honey, it's her first time here too, don't blame her."
Qiu Yunxi persuaded Chen Yao softly, acting like a virtuous wife, but Chen Yao could hardly hold himself any longer, and his face was already a little embarrassed.
A hint of cunning flashed in Yue Li's eyes, and she grabbed Chen Yao's sleeve.
"Eh? Brother Yao, your face is so red? You look very uncomfortable too."
"I..."
"Stupid girl, your brother suffered some injuries on his hand earlier, and it cracked during the battle, so he doesn't feel very comfortable."
Qiu Yunxi flicked Yue Li's smooth forehead, rolled his eyes and said.
"Yes...I didn't take good care of the wound before..."
Chen Yao also walked down the steps.
"Oh~ That's it! But...brother and sister are really good and loving! Hee hee!"
"That... of course..."
The expression on Qiu Yunxi's face finally showed a trace of unnaturalness, but fortunately, the group of people had arrived at their destination.
"Okay, we're here, this is the Big Bird Tavern."
Siwen stopped in front of an ordinary-looking building. A mushroom-shaped wooden sign hung from the edge of the building.
The iron chandeliers on both sides emitted a steady deep orange light, and a strange fragrance came from the gap between the two half-open wooden doors.
"By the way, why is this sign in the shape of a mushroom?"
"Well...because...forget it, it doesn't matter anymore, let's go."
Siwen gave up explaining, turned around and opened the door and entered the tavern, and the group had no choice but to follow.
................................................................. ...
"Hey! Is it Captain Swain? What would you like to drink today?"
As soon as the group stepped through the door, a sturdy man with horns greeted Siwen behind the wooden bar.
"Must, please have three beers and five glasses of secret fruit wine, with a lower alcohol content."
"No problem." Muster responded, turned around and started pouring the wine.
"Oops! I forgot..." Chen Yao slapped his forehead fiercely.
"Oh? What happened?" Siwen turned around and asked after hearing the movement.
"Sariya, do you want... to go home now?"
Chen Yao turned around and asked the girl who had been silent all the way.
"That's right...after all, her parents were looking for her this afternoon. Fortunately, it's okay..."
"No! Mr. Siwen, haven't you noticed that her sister...is not here."
Chen Yao's face suddenly became gloomy.
"Indeed, Sarina has not been seen from the beginning...wait! Could it be?"
Siwen stood up with a loud scream. He read something unusual from the expressions of Chen Yao and the girl.
"Yes, as you can imagine, she's...gone."
"No...no! It shouldn't be like this..."
Siwen sat down slowly, with disbelief written all over his face.
"Sariya, tell Mr. Siwen what happened."
Saria closed her eyes in pain and began to recall her experiences in the afternoon, from when she and her friends were picking wild fruits outside the town, to being discovered and captured by goblins wandering nearby.
Later, when her sister came out to look for them, she was caught together. Chen Yao added what happened after meeting them. During this period, no one made a sound, and everyone had a heavy look on their faces.
"I'm sorry...Sariya, this is my dereliction of duty. It was me who harmed you, it was I who harmed Sarina..."
Siwen closed his eyes in pain and leaned weakly against the bar, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
"Since a month ago, caravans have occasionally mentioned to me that they were attacked by goblins around Shenmu Town. Fortunately, they all brought enough guards and no losses were suffered."
"I just stepped up patrols and didn't take it too seriously..."
"Judging from the number of Goblins attacking you today, there must be one or more Goblin settlements nearby, and they are most likely gathered from elsewhere."
"Maybe... it's too late... Oh Sarina, my poor girl..."
Siwen analyzed calmly at first, and finally collapsed and held his head. His words were full of self-blame. After all, he had led the guards in the town for several years. Everyone respected and loved him, and everyone in the town also They are all like his family.
"I am really incompetent. I failed to protect you. I'm sorry, Saria... I'm sorry..."
Chen Yao felt a lump in his throat when he saw Si Wen in this state, but he couldn't say a word of comfort now.
"No...Uncle Siwen, it's not your fault. Sister...Sister, she shouldn't blame you either."
"In these years, you have protected the town and everyone... It is me who is too weak... and failed to protect myself and my sister..."
Saria comforted her. Seeing Siwen's appearance, she was filled with sadness and couldn't help but feel a little thump in her heart.
Who is Siwen? Captain of the Shenmu Town Guard? No! He is the patron saint of Shenmu Town! He is loved by everyone in Shenmu Town.
In the years since he became the guard captain, there have been almost no vicious security incidents in Shenmu Town, and even ordinary security incidents have been rare. For Sariya, he is a reliable captain and a competent one. elder.
"I hope so...these disgusting monsters! One day, I will kill them all! Let this dirty race disappear from this planet! Forever!"
Siwen took a swig of beer, slammed the table and yelled viciously.
"I agree, but I think the first priority is to find out the nests around the town."
Chen Yao took a sip of the beer handed by Muster and suggested. It was a bit bitter in the mouth at first, and then a fragrance spread in the mouth, and finally it was slightly sweet.
"So, Saria...do you want...to go home now?"
Chen Yao repeated the previous question.
"I'm not ready yet...to face my parents..."
"Okay, let's go with you later, okay? Mr. Siwen will go too, right?"
"Of course! I am responsible for this matter."
"Thank you brother, thank you everyone..."
"Ladies, your fruit wine is ready too. The Totem family's secret fruit wine is sweet and delicious. I hope it can alleviate some of the sadness."
Muster placed five exquisite goblets in front of the girls, with different fruits decorating the edges of each cup.
"Sniff...hmm...it's delicious..."
The girl who had been sleeping soundly in Lili's arms suddenly woke up.
"You won't wake up until you have something delicious to eat, huh?"
Chen Yao rubbed Yiya's head vigorously.
"Hmm...Brother, can you eat this?"
"Okay, but this is for drinking, not eating."
"Not...food?"
The girl tilted her head, a little confused.
"look..."
Chen Yao taught Yi Na step by step to pick up the wine glass, and then put it to her mouth.
"tasty?"
“Delicious...”
"Can this... be eaten?"
Yina pointed at the fruit decoration on the edge of the cup with her fleshy little finger.
"Of course~"
"Hmm... delicious..."
"Suck~Wow! Sister...this wine is so sweet and fragrant! I've never had anything so delicious! Eh? Sister, don't you drink it?"
Qiu Yueli picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then said to her sister with shining eyes.
"Honey, can I drink this?"
Qiu Yunxi gently leaned on Chen Yao's arm and shook it.
"Ahem... Of course, honey, speaking of which, you can let me go. This won't be inconvenient for you, right?"
Chen Yao clenched his fist with one hand and coughed, then secretly glanced at Qiu Yunxi.
"I got it, honey~"
Qiu Yunxi let go of Chen Yao with a resentful look on his face, raised his cheeks and tasted the fruit wine. Then, with a twist of his jade finger, the cherry on the edge of the cup was lifted up, he opened his small mouth, and sucked the cherry into his mouth with a flick of his pink tongue.
She looked like a melancholy beauty who had been left out. Chen Yao was so thirsty and confused that he almost got confused. He had to pick up the wine glass and take a big sip to calm down his anger.
No... I have to distract myself. I can't think of anything else now, Chen Yao thought to himself.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Muster, are you a tauren?"
"Well... your description is very loose. To be precise, the bloodline of half-orcs comes from the shaman god. It's okay to say that I am a tauren, but the most correct name should be half-tauren. .”
Muster smiled awkwardly and politely while wiping the wine glass.
"I see... I'd like to take the liberty to ask you a question..."
"What?"
"Do you, the tauren clan, have a... uh... habit of liking married women?"
Upon hearing the question raised by Chen Yao, Muster's expression instantly stiffened and the movements in his hands stopped abruptly.
Feeling the surprised looks from around him, Chen Yao touched his nose and explained awkwardly.
"Well... I learned about it from a very old book. I'm very sorry, I have never seen a race like yours, so I am a little curious..."
"I can say for sure, no. And the question you asked is very... impolite. I suggest you stop reading that book."
"I'm really sorry..."
