Chapter 247 Old Patch Who Eats Melon Seeds

What if it was a strange girl who suddenly pointed at the Odachi behind me and mocked: "Look, there is a fool carrying a flagpole on his back!"

I will definitely choose to ignore her and stay away because I firmly believe that idiots are contagious.

However, when the girl who said this is one of my fiancées, things will change slightly.

With a look of approval on my face, I pinched Barbara's little cheek and said, "What a good eyesight! The first time I saw it, I thought it was a bamboo pole!"

When Barbara heard what I said was even more outrageous than her, she smiled happily, but she still pretended to be angry: "You are so stupid, this doesn't look like a bamboo pole, the bamboo pole is light yellow~"

I quickly gave a thumbs up and said, "You're right!"

Then, he scratched his head with his hand and said with a smile: "I'm so stupid, really."

Suddenly, I suddenly thought of Mrs. Xianglin.

The landlady came out at just this moment, and when she saw Barbara and I being intimate, her face was filled with an expression of 'that's exactly what it should be'.

"Good morning, boss lady!" I said hello.

But I noticed something was wrong with the look on the landlady's face. Her eyes were staring directly behind me, as if she was in a daze and deep in thought.

Following my gaze, I turned my head slightly and saw the Odachi raised high behind me.

"What's the matter, boss lady?" I asked.

The landlady suddenly woke up at this moment, with an unnatural look on her face, she coughed lightly and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Something must be wrong!

I was sure in my heart.

"Boss lady, are you okay? I think you were distracted just now." I asked pretending to be concerned.

"Ah, haha, it's okay." The boss lady's expression returned to its original state, her eyes left the Odachi, and she smiled: "I just think your knife is quite novel."

Then, the landlady asked: "Why did you come back so early today?"

"Hey, don't mention it. I got up in a hurry in the morning and left a lot of things unfinished. It just so happened that I helped someone with some things today." I pointed to the Odachi behind me: "This is the reward. In a moment Send it home, I have other things to do."

"Then go ahead." The landlady nodded, turned around and entered the house. Before entering the house, she said to Barbara: "Barbara, don't delay Xiao Yi's work. Come in quickly, there is still work to do." !”

"Oh~~~ Here we come." Barbara was very reluctant and rubbed her arms hard twice before slowly moving back to the cafe with a look of reluctance. As she approached the gate, she stopped leaving. .

I smiled, waved my hand to her, and lip-synched: "I'll pick you up after you get off work."

She then turned around and entered the cafe.

Carrying the Odachi on my back, I passed by Old Patch's weapons shop again.

Old Patch was moving a small stool and sitting at the door eating melon seeds.

When he saw me coming, he said, "Why are you back so early? The sun is out in the west?"

"Come on, don't look surprised like you're seeing a new species," I replied, "It's not like I didn't come back early."

"Yes." Old Patch nodded and continued to eat melon seeds.

I looked at the pile of scattered melon seed peels at his feet, and said helplessly: "Can't you pay attention to hygiene? This is a public place."

Old Patch rolled his eyes at me and said nothing.

"Come on, it's useless if I don't talk to you anymore." I stopped joking and said seriously: "I came to you today mainly because I have something to ask of you."

"What's the matter?" Old Patch stopped eating melon seeds and looked like a profiteer.

"The sword that was used to chop horses is useless. Please help me get another one."

"Four gold coins," Old Patch said.

"I have the materials."

"Two gold coins."

"It's so expensive, why don't we still be friends?" I shouted, "If you keep asking for such high prices, the boat of friendship will capsize!"

Old Patch looked unconcerned: "Then go find someone else and ask them how much it costs to make a fine steel weapon."

I am speechless.

What Old Patch said was right. Although second-rate and third-rate blacksmiths were cheap, they were unable to forge a satisfactory weapon. However, for someone of Old Patch's level, although his shop was small, his skills and There is nothing to say about the vision.

Under the same circumstances, if you want to build a fine steel weapon, you must spend at least four or five gold coins.

Although he appears to be a greedy goblin, he has never lived a luxurious life. The most luxurious thing in his entire shop is probably the pile of medicines in the innermost room.

"Old expert" I asked: "Is the woman lying in the innermost room your wife?"

Old Patch rolled his eyes at me: "Asking knowingly."

"Isn't all the money you earn used to buy medicine for your wife?"

Old Patch sighed.

"How is her illness? Is she feeling better?" I asked.

There was sadness on his face, and he shook his head slowly.

"What's the disease? What did the doctor say?" I asked again.

"The doctor didn't notice it either." Old Patch sighed again: "Besides, how can we hire famous doctors for poor people like us? The doctors we hired are all newly qualified doctors with little experience, but they are cheap. .”

Seeing Old Pachi getting more and more excited as he talked, I couldn't help but sigh: The doctor-patient relationship has been tense since then.

Although I deeply sympathize with Old Patch's predicament, I am not a doctor after all, so I cannot help him with his medical treatment. And I am not a rich man, so I cannot give generously in terms of money. The only thing I can do is Listen to his complaints, chat with him about household matters, and take more care of his business.

"By the way, there's one more thing." I interrupted Old Patch's babble and said, "What can you make of the ghost-faced spider's legs?"

"Ghost-faced spider legs?" Old Patch thought for a moment and said, "You have to see the goods first. I can't answer you without seeing the goods."

"Okay, then I'll go back and get it first. I'll see you later."

With that said, I quickened my pace and rushed towards home.

After a while, I ran back home.

The door was locked, and I forgot to bring the key. In desperation, I had to climb over the wall and enter.

I turned out of the yard and walked quickly to my room.

Since there are no valuables in Jackson and I's room, we don't have the habit of locking the door easily.

This habit, which was not a very good one at first, has saved me a lot of time and energy at this moment.

When he pushed the door open and walked in, he immediately saw the front legs of the ghost-faced spider displayed on the wall, as well as the zanmatachi twisted into a twist shape.

I placed the Odachi next to my bed, unloaded the packages one by one, and took all the money I had saved with me. With the twist-shaped Zumatachi on my back and the forelimbs of the Ghost-Faced Spider, I hurried towards the old man. Patch's weapons shop.
