under the field

Scarlett

The moon was already up, and it was two big men who accompanied me back to the "front room".

Although I was mentally prepared, after confirming that the money at the bottom of the box was really missing, I couldn't help but looked up at the two figures at the door, and reported in frustration: "They even took the jewelry I put upside down in my clothes. I took it away, I clearly hid it."

"Smart girls, they're smarter than you," Otis comforted.I know I can't go downstairs and start a fight with the hotel owner at this moment, they might give me back the jewelry and the money, and then turn me around and give me to Earl Reggie for something worth several times more than that. bounty.

I held back my breath and stuffed the ripped and tattered clothes back into the box, stood up silently, and the two of them left through the door.

They had a room for me in the "Chameleon", right next to the corner room.

I didn't care whether it was simple or not, I hugged my knees and sat on the table, facing the lights outside the window.Someone knocked on the door behind me, I didn't look back, and the door opened after the sound.Reflected through the glass of the window, I looked at the tall figure without speaking. He was standing by the door with a plate of bread (again bread).

"Can I come in?" He was so gentle for the first time in a long time, and I thought there must be some sympathy in it.I nodded, brushed my hair behind my ears and turned to look at Colin.

"Most of them attack rich people from other places. I should remind you to keep your money safe."

I sighed, "It's my lack of defense. I shouldn't have left so much money in the hotel."

He put down the milk and bread and explained his purpose: "Next, Otis and I can arrange a place for you. At least during this period, you can stay there without being caught."

"where?"

"New Sierre, it's not under Reggie's jurisdiction. I have a friend who runs a medical clinic there, and you can stay there as a helper, and he will take care of everything for you. Someday you avoid If you want to go home after being in the limelight, he can also arrange it for you."

I can't express how I feel in my heart, but I still agree, maybe I shouldn't cause any more trouble.

"We'll be on our way out of Warwick tomorrow morning."

go to bed early.He said this to me after I thanked him and closed the door for me.

Yesterday, I was also grateful for the abundance of wealth in my body.In a blink of an eye, I am as stupid as I am and as poor as I am.Not to mention that there is still a hunted knife hanging on my head, and I have to pester two men with important affairs to lead me to escape.

While thinking wildly, I remember falling asleep with a sense of exhaustion rising spontaneously.

"Did you not sleep well last night?" The next morning, I came to yesterday's tavern again to eat satisfying Mahakam potato soup again.Otis asked, looking at my face across from me.

After so many nights of insomnia, all my anxiety seemed to leave me in an instant last night. Not only did I not sleep well, on the contrary, I was even reluctant to get up in the morning, so that Colin didn’t have the patience to wait for me to freshen up and let me pack up and go to the opposite pub to meet They meet for breakfast.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Colin having a heated fight with the lady who delivered the food. Her eyes longed to stick to the man in front of her. No, her hands had already stuck to the front of Colin's clothes.Still with that teasing look on his face, his standing there is enough to make all the ladies stop.

Otis saw me first, and called me over who was also "stopping" by the door.

"That's how I think you're a girl." I didn't let my hair down today. Seeing that I was confused, he pointed to my face and said, "Your eyes, you can tell that you are a girl." Also through the sunlight I noticed that his hair color was different from Colin's dark black, and Otis' hair color was almost a bright reddish brown.

"What do you do?" Today's chicken is relatively tender, mixed with thick soup, perfectly embedding the tempting taste.

"What do you think?"

"I have no idea." It's okay if he doesn't want to say more, after all, I am grateful that they are willing to take me for a while and help me settle.

Two officers and soldiers walked into the tavern suddenly, so scared that I almost dropped the spoon, "Easy, easy..." Otis hurriedly comforted me, "Don't look back." He whispered.

Soon he and Colin met eyes, and everyone in the tavern looked at him.The woman next to Colin hurriedly picked up two glasses of beer and came forward to say hello with a smile, "My lords, would you like some wine?" She took the paper from the officers and soldiers, and one of the officers and soldiers swallowed a big gulp of beer and confessed: "Please post, Earl Reggie's missing person notice."

I think it was Reggie giving the Hastings a face by using a missing person notice instead of a straight up wanted warrant, even though there is no difference between the two in my opinion.

"A reward of 500 pounds!" Then he yelled, and someone behind him yelled, the amount was enough to arouse everyone's eager interest and discussion.

Colin walked over, Otis stood up, and teased him with a smile: "Soon her bounty will be doubled and catch up with yours."

"Why are you also being offered a reward?" I looked at him, he lifted the box at my feet, stretched out his hand and pressed down the brim of my hat, "It's a secret." He leaned over and whispered in my ear.

He was still very happy to see me pissed off again, his big white teeth were even more dazzling than Otis's hair color: "Ready to hit the road, kid."

Under the cover of Otis and Colin's left and right bows, we walked out of the gate smoothly.There were two horses waiting, and Colin tossed the purse to the horseman, while Otis took the bag and tied it to the other horse.Colin was stroking a white steed and talking to it in a low voice, then turned to look at me who was standing aside, motioned for me to get on the horse, and did not forget to tease: "Do you need help?"

Ignoring his teasing, I stepped forward and passed him to touch the saddle. The horse was really tall, and I barely stepped on the stirrups. Then someone helped me from behind and sat on it steadily.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Colin flipping onto the horse lightly, and sitting right behind me, he walked around my arm and took the rein calmly.

"Small Scar!" Otis called me heartlessly at this moment. He was sitting on another black horse, and when he saw him approaching, he asked me mysteriously: "Did you see the message on the revelation just now?" portrait?"

"Yes, it's ugly." I answered honestly.

"Yeah, I think so too!" He laughed loudly, "They won't be able to find someone like this!" Then he walked away with his ass pouted, and I looked at the crumbling suitcase behind him and shouted He: "Be careful not to jump off the luggage!"

Colin was also laughing behind him, and I could feel his trembling chest not far from my back, making my heart tremble and beat.

I gently twisted the horse hair in front of me, pretending that I didn't smell his breath, and I was glad that he was sitting behind me at this moment, so he didn't see my already flushed face.
