Chapter 5 The Covenant

"Isn't that the barbarian captain? Why did he appear here?"

"Who are the two people around you? Why aren't they from other barbarians?"

"One is wearing such shabby clothes, and the other one doesn't even show his face, he must be a criminal."

Although Jie Shi was already used to these people's sarcastic remarks, it seemed that because of the two more people around him, those gossips were obviously twice as loud and annoying.

"Look, Xiaoya, the jewelry is so cute, it must look great with your hair!"

Even though everyone was staring at him, Xiao Yan, whose face was covered by a cloak, didn't seem to notice at all. He chatted happily with Xiaoya, and kept telling that a pile of clothes or jewelry was very suitable for Xiaoya, as if he was trying his best to give Xiaoya The change of clothing is the same.

"No, sister, we are here to keep our bodies warm!"

Fortunately, Xiaoya is very smart, and understands that Xiaoyan's actions are in a state of obsession, and she keeps waving her immature hands to reject Xiaoyan's kindness along the way.

It was also because of this that among the three of them, only Jieshi seemed to notice the gazes of the people around him.

"You guys are so amazing that you can live in your own world like this."

"Huh? Is there something wrong? Or do you want to buy clothes too?"

"elder brother?"

Seeing that both of them showed puzzled expressions, Jie Shi sighed heavily, realizing that the independent world of these two people is really hard and powerful.

"Ah! That is hot ginger soup, which can effectively warm up the body!"

Xiaoyan still seemed to know the purpose in his head, and led Xiaoya to the street vendor, all four eyes were focused on the wooden barrel that was placed on the wooden table emitting hot smoke.

"Well, three bowls of ginger tea, one gold coin is enough?"

These funny words made the shopkeeper's wife look happy when she saw the fat sheep, but in the next second, Jie Shi grabbed Xiao Yan's white right hand that was about to take out the gold coins.

"Wait, I'll just pay the bill. Ma'am, three copper coins should be enough, right?"

"Tsk!"

When this name Cheng Yaojin appeared, especially a barbarian who was guarded and despised by the Magic Kingdom, the proprietress immediately made a loud and displeased sound.

"So that's enough? Or do you need a gold coin for the advanced ingredients in this ginger tea?"

"Enough is enough, pay now."

He stretched out his rough palm impatiently, and his eyes revealed vigilance.

Generally speaking, you only pay when you get the item, but it is obvious that everyone has no trust in the barbarian tribe, and the barbarian must pay before normal transactions.

"Here, your three copper coins."

After getting the copper coins, the proprietress still had displeasure on her face, she seemed unwilling to put the ginger tea in the barrel in a wooden bowl, and put it roughly on the table for Jie Shi and the others to take it by themselves.

"Um?"

Take a sip of hot ginger tea first, a strong heat and irritation from the mouth to the brain, the blood boils like speeding up, and the whole body suddenly produces a high temperature that will not be afraid of the cold.

Only then did Jieshi realize that this was the first time he drank the ginger tea produced in Winter in the Magic Kingdom.

Jie Shi couldn't help having the idea that this wasn't ginger tea at all, but a bowl of terrible potion that forcibly pulled the spirit to the limit.

"Okay, it's spicy! And it's hot!"

As a child, Xiaoya left a lot of sweat just after taking a sip, and her cheeks were even redder. If it wasn't for Jieshi who knew that Xiaoya drank ginger tea, she might have guessed that Xiaoya had a serious illness. .

Forget it, at least it can really resist the cold.

Although Xiaoya looked like she had a fever, it was better than a real cold.

"Well, the taste is a little bit weaker."

"what?"

Because it was covered by the cloak, it was impossible to see exactly what expression was on the face, but just these words were enough to make Jie Shi feel a burst of surprise.

"Compared with the chef at home, it seems to be a little less sweet."

"Your home, oh, yes."

"Is the ginger tea at my sister's house better?"

"Yes, if there is a chance, I will let Xiaoya drink and watch!"

Probably because of that doting and forgetting, it is impossible for Xiaoya to enter the mansions of those nobles, even if she thinks about it, it is impossible.

Before civilians want to enter, [-]% will be blocked by the guards at the door. As for how Xiao Yan escaped from the surveillance, the only possibility is that the mansion where Xiao Yan lives has a private secret passage exclusive to nobles.

"How about Xiaoya, do you want to go somewhere else?"

"Well, I want to visit the park before I go home."

"Okay, then let's go to the nearest park."

I saw Xiao Yan, who was about to move quickly, was held by the hem of his clothes with a small hand by Xiao Ya at his waist.

"Well, I want to go to a special park."

"special?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yan and Jie Shi glanced at each other, and found that they also didn't know which one of the parks in the Magic Kingdom had special facilities.

"Does Xiaoya know the way?"

"Yeah. I know!"

"Okay, then let our genius road boy lead the way!"

The whole city is made of a square design. The reason is that the square is more popular with the nobles of the Magic Kingdom than the circle. Perhaps it is because of the insistence on the aesthetics of the square. Almost every house in the whole city insists on the square shape. , because there will be empty areas around the corners of the capital that cannot be filled.

And these corners are often used as execution grounds, torture chambers, or parks for the people.

"Sister, brother, come quickly, there are so many white pigeons!"

The surroundings can be seen with the naked eye. Most of them are towering and hard city walls. Only a small street can enter this corner. The surrounding walls made of stone bricks show signs of peeling and erosion, obviously no one live near here.

If it weren't for the tree in the middle of the park, it might be suspected of being a gloomy and weird area.

Xiaoya entered this small uninhabited park, ran quickly to the only tree, and stretched out her immature right hand to point to the "birds with white feathers" on several thick branches.

"What kind of bird is that?"

Hearing the question of Jieshi, a foreigner, Xiao Yan looked at Jieshi with his blue eyes, and began to describe the content of the encyclopedia in a proud tone of "I really need my knowledge".

"White pigeons are slightly larger than ordinary birds, almost the same as common birds, but they have thick feathers and heavy body fat, so they cannot fly for a long time, but they can effectively resist the cold. In addition, the whole body is white except for the black eyes, so it is called It is called a white dove, and it belongs to one of the species in the magical country.”

"No wonder the Kingdom of Swords hasn't seen it."

"Look, sister, that bird is pecking its own wings with its beak."

Xiaoya's excitement was unprecedented from the time she came out of the orphanage to the time she bought ginger tea. Not only was she so happy that she stretched out her hands, but she kept dancing, hoping that she could get a little closer to the group of white pigeons.

"No, Xiaoya, that bird is actually cleaning its wings."

"Why do you need to groom?"

"There will always be something dirty when flying, and it needs to be cleaned frequently!"

"Wow, sister is amazing, she knows everything!"

The two were one up and one down, one looked up at the birds with an excited expression, and the other bent his upper body and explained to the children in a gentle and elegant tone.

This warm look makes Jieshi feel that the picture in front of him is indeed a pair of sisters.

At this moment, Jieshi suddenly remembered that the couple in the orphanage seemed to use the name of their parents to face those orphans who had no father or mother.

What if he and Xiao Yan are Xiaoya's parents?

Immediately put away the ridiculous and dangerous unrealistic thoughts, in order to change his mind, he turned his head and stared at the white birds on the branches, and asked Xiao Yan softly.

"I don't know if those birds can get close to us?"

"White pigeons are greedy but highly vigilant birds. Although they will not take the initiative to attack, if they are stimulated, they are likely to fight back."

"It's just that there is no way to make them approach actively?"

"Yes."

With a slight sigh, Jie Shi gave up his original way of thinking, and walked towards the public bench closest to him.

It was a wooden chair that could accommodate two people. The place where it was supported was not only corroded and decayed, but also the surface was thick with dust. It was almost equivalent to an abandoned chair that no one dared to sit on.

But to Jieshi, it was still a chair he could sit on.

"Why doesn't Jieshi play with us?"

Sitting on the cold and hard bench, Xiao Yan's eyes exposed through the cloak showed doubts.

"Ah, I just want to rest, you guys keep playing!"

Just after saying this, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Xiao Ya.

Seeing the interaction between the two, as if exaggerated by the atmosphere, Jie Shi followed with a smile.

He knew very well how much Xiao Yan, a nobleman, cherished this few hours of time.

Sneaking away from the house, concealing one's face, hiding one's identity and entering a poor and lowly orphanage, all these dangerous actions are just for the pleasure of playing with orphans.

Jie made it clear that as the captain of the hostage team, acquiescing to these actions would definitely be regarded as a felony, and normally a report should be made.

It's just that after going through at least ten risks, Jieshi never reported it.

"Xiaoya, look at those white pigeons arranging their wings, they look so cute!"

"Sister, I really hope that I can raise one in the future."

"No problem, Xiaoya is so cute and kind, in the future there will be white pigeons who will discover your sincerity."

Hearing the words of these two sisters, Jieshi smiled again.

"Brother Jieshi."

The small silver head was suddenly imprinted in Jieshi's line of sight, and he originally planned to move his gaze to the sky to enter the empty state, but was interrupted by this sentence.

"What's wrong Xiaoya?"

It took less than five seconds to get here from the state of concentrating on the white dove, that is to say, when Jieshi just looked away from the two people, Xiaoya ran to Jieshi at such a fast pace. .

"Can I promise Xiaoya a request?"

"Okay, what request?"

"Thank you for coming out this time, big brother and big sister. Xiaoya hasn't come out to see the white pigeon for a long time!"

"Really? Then cherish it and go watch it."

"Xiaoya knows that she is headstrong, but I really hope that in the future, I can still come to this park with my elder sister and elder brother to see white pigeons!"

As if venting all the words that were pent up in his heart at once, he put his hands on his chest nervously, bent his upper body after speaking, and made a bowing posture that was not standard at all and looked awkward.

Jie Shi stretched out his hand and scratched his hair, he really couldn't answer for a while, his eyes shifted to Xiao Yan, and the other party kept nodding his head vigorously, urging Jie Shi to agree quickly.

"Well, no problem, as long as there is a chance in the future, the three of us will definitely be able to come again."

"Really!"

"Really, because this is our agreement."

I saw Xiaoya nodded vigorously in satisfaction, and quickly ran to Xiaoyan's side, and the two happily watched the white pigeons on the tree again.

"Is there a chance? Just thinking about such an ultra-small probability is troublesome, let's talk about it in the future."

Jieshi holding "Let's talk tomorrow" looked at the strange scene where the two couldn't play together, and smiled softly.
