[Comprehensive] Doudou, you don't understand love

Inner city of Barbard.

On the noisy street, a pair of lightly dressed young men and women nimbly walked through the crowded crowd.

Turning into an alley, the young man took off his starched cloak, revealing a short robe of expensive fabric.Then he took out a ruby ​​necklace and hung it around his neck, rolled up his sleeves and buttoned it up, revealing the expensive gold bracelet on his wrist, and fastened the heavy emerald earrings; The inconspicuous ordinary people have transformed themselves and added a noble air, just like a noble young master.

The girl next to him has already taken off her headscarf, revealing her long hair covered in gold and silver, and she has taken off the cloak to reveal a beautiful and expensive dress. The bell is raised, which is very interesting and cute.

After walking in the direction of the wealthy district for a while, the two turned into a magnificent casino and walked straight to a small room in the outer tavern.There were several fat-headed and big-eared businessmen sitting in the room, and one of them smiled and greeted the two of them: "The young master and miss of the Baierhe family is here."

The young man knocked on the head of the girl who was looking around curiously, whispered something, and then turned to the businessman and asked lazily, "Good day. Is the goods here?"

"It's all here." The man picked up a leather bag on the table and opened it, revealing all kinds of beautifully polished gemstones inside. "Young master, this is a sale at the original price. Afterwards, please speak kindly to your father so that our caravan will not be taxed when passing through the royal city."

The boy didn't answer, took the box and handed it to the girl.The latter picked and picked in the box nonchalantly like playing with a toy, and after a while picked out a gemstone and threw it back on the table with disgust on his face: "I don't want this one, it's too ugly."

Several businessmen looked at each other, they couldn't help but get nervous, and took out their handkerchiefs to wipe their sweat.One of them tremblingly said: "Young master, although the color of this one is not good, it is better than..."

The young man interrupted him: "Since she doesn't want it, you just take it back." Putting the bag of gems away, he unhurriedly took off the emerald ring from his hand and handed it to the man, "There is my family's family on it." When you pass the border, show it to the garrisoned Wang Jun, and they will let you go. When you leave the city, give the ring to the garrison and take it back to my house."

Several men took the ring and looked at it, exchanged glances, then stood up one after another, and said goodbye with gratitude.When the last person stood up, he was suddenly stopped by the girl: "Wait a minute." The tone was full of arrogance from a rich lady.

The businessman turned his head obediently, and the girl pointed to the earring on his right ear, and said to the boy, "I want that."

Before the boy could speak, the businessman took off his earrings and put them on the table.Seeing the boy nodding, he left as if he had been pardoned.

When they all left the room, the young man suddenly changed his gentle and arrogant demeanor, leaned his head on the table with one leg and sneered, picked up a jewel and skillfully turned it around in the sunlight, "You have good eyesight, you The one that was taken out is indeed of poorer quality." She gave the girl another sideways glance, "But the price may not be much different."

The girl took the earring and looked it over, "I know. But if it wasn't for the fact that the gemstone I disliked made them feel guilty and wanted to make amends, he might not be willing to give me this earring. This thing is worth more than half of the gemstones in this box. "

The boy's expression was a little subtle: "These tricks are really quick to learn."

"Get your true biography."

- Xiaodou smiled slightly.

Clap clap applause!It has been more than three months since I got on the thief ship, and now Dou Shen is Kasim's quasi-caring little padded jacket, isn't it?Since becoming an official army after the Zambila caravan incident, Kasim has been teaching her all kinds of tricks and tricks (?), in addition to continuing to attack on the road to the king, there are also various small troubles, such as cheating in the casino Magical skills, distinguishing the clothes of the noble family to find the target, memorizing the patrol route map of the royal army, and being familiar with the various robber forces in the city... Due to his talent and gratifying progress in deceit practice (?), Cosplay the young master of the noble family Miss, cooperating with bluffing and deceiving, Dou is so cool!

Please recall the scene where the Dou Shen dog was tapped by Kasim just now. (←v←)y

Let me add an explanation.This Baierhe, who looked dizzy, was actually a plucking king army commander, in charge of the past trade caravans entering and exiting Barbad City, and the merchants had to look at him and show some filial piety when they passed the customs.Kasim did not know what method he used, but pretended to be his young master and connected with these caravans. Today, he came to connect with these merchants and cheat bribes.

Shortly afterwards, the two left the casino and began to return.On the road, Xiaodou pinched the pendant on her forehead and complained: "It's too heavy, where did it come from? Next time, don't pick such heavy jewelry."

Kasim glanced at her, "I got it from the real Miss Baierhe, it's a family heirloom. I asked you to wear it just in case, those old men have very sharp eyes, as long as you wear this, Even if other jewelry is cheap, they will not doubt your identity."

Xiaodou paused, "Then the ring you gave them just now is also real?"

"Yes." Kasim replied nonchalantly, seeing her stop, turned around strangely: "?"

Xiaodou narrowed her eyes: "...you hooked up with that young lady? She gave you these two things?"

Kasim came back to his senses, and replied lightly: "Well, what's the matter?"

Xiaodou twitched the corners of her mouth: "A token of love again?" Changing into a Kasim tone: "'Miss, I will definitely come back and propose marriage in a dignified manner. My earrings are for you as a token, you see Then it thinks of me.'" Changed into a delicate tone again: "'I, I... Kasim, I will give you my pendant too...ah, yes, I will give you this ring too, you can exchange some money to make it The principal for forming a caravan!'”

She smirked.

"There is also the proprietress of the West City Tavern, it is for the information on the Zambila caravan; Sally's cousin, it is for her to give a discount when she sells ingredients at the morning fair... No wonder I can't sleep at night because of the noise of my broken heart."

Kasim listened to her with half-closed eyes, calmly raised his hand to untie the pendant for her, and gently smoothed her hair that was messed up by the thin chain, smiling slightly. "Don't wear it if it's too heavy." As he spoke, he smoothed out the braids around her ears.

Xiaodou couldn't help but say in his heart that you are a boy!Immediately, she stretched out her hand and slapped his hand away, angrily stuffed the heavy jewelry that had been removed into his arms, turned around and left.

Kasim's helpless voice came from behind: "Where are you going?"

"walk!"

Sighing, "Don't miss dinner."

Xiaodou didn't answer him, and walked away quickly.

(→_→) Cough.Bean Mystery Collection: When the charm is temporarily inferior, go along with the flow and be arrogant, which will help to further loosen the brain hole.Having said that, in this situation, the deciduous teeth can still be equipped with the attribute of "can take care of people" normally, saying "you missed dinner", this scumbag rhythm, God Dou has learned!

……

This wandering went until the sunset.

Xiaodou fumbled out of a small casino while touching the bulging purse, and made a face at the cursing banker behind him.

cough.Will the bean god say that the casinos near the bandit stronghold in the eastern district want to put up a sign saying "Kasim and beans are not allowed to enter"?Fortunately, this is the Southern District, which is outside the sphere of influence of the bandit group... In order to match the girl's play style, [hanging out unhappily all day and returning home at night] must have something!The so-called little tail of a girl's mind is now firmly held by God Bean in his claws! (→3→)

Touching his empty stomach, Xiaodou pondered bitterly that it was indeed time to return to the base camp for dinner.But since it's the character design of a pissed-off girl, it's not good to go back soon... It's also not good to buy food outside. It's unscientific for a girl to think about looking for food when she's upset!Of course, this speed still needs to be mastered. Fortunately, the girl from the slums is still in the stage of "subtle displeasure" with the boss of the thieves, not to the point of staying overnight.

Xiaodou was depressed, when suddenly a somewhat lazy voice came from behind: "Yo."

She was taken aback, and then felt that the braids on the back of her head were pulled gently and gently.As soon as she looked back with her braids on, she saw Kasim standing behind her with a cigarette dangling casually, looking at her with a half smile on her lips.

Xiaodou patted his hand holding her braid away, "Why are you here?"

"I just came here to do business, so I came to you first." Kasim's hand that was slapped away flashed nimbly, then fell on top of her head honestly, and pressed it down.

"How do you know I'm around here?"

"Just ask any of your peers and you will know. But you have been followed by me all the way and you don't realize it. You can't practice well." Kasim replied leisurely while avoiding her reaching out to pat him, " What are you doing here in the South District?"

"Just strolling around... Get out!" Xiaodoumo said.

Kasim leisurely dodged the final blow (?), and then stretched out the other hand that had been behind his back just now, holding a steaming kebab——the boy put the meat on the kebab calmly. Stuffed it into her mouth: "Are you hungry?"

Xiaodou held back for a while, and finally landed happily (?) with a face full of pain (?) biting the meat and chewing (...).

The two walked up the main road side by side.Xiaodou bit the barbecue in his mouth, and looked around: "But this is the first time I have come to the South District, and it always feels different from the North."

"...Well." Kasim's eyes fluttered across the newly-built residential buildings beside the street, "it has indeed changed a lot."

"Sennap said that you used to grow up in the South Side."

"Almost, I have lived here for ten years, and it is also the place where I was born." Kasim's eyes darkened slightly, "However, in the year when the infectious disease broke out, the royal family burned out after the epidemic disappeared. The original building here was rebuilt into what it is today.”

The two had crossed a street and entered a narrow alley while they were talking.

Kasim squinted his eyes and looked around, "It used to be a mountain of rubbish piled up with waste, and it was also the place where we used it as a playground when we were young. ... Now we can't see the original appearance at all."

The ground is paved with neat and clean stone bricks, and there are sporadic sand canopies set up by stall owners who will not be able to collect their stalls in the future. There is no trace of the dilapidation that used to be a slum dump in the past.

The atmosphere was gloomy for a while; Xiaodou didn't answer, and when he walked to the end of the alley with Kasim, he suddenly said: "Isn't there any old building left?"

Kasim answered absent-mindedly, then stopped abruptly, with a look of surprise on his face: "This thing is still there."

Xiaodou followed his gaze, only to find a dilapidated obelisk at the entrance of the alley.Kasim stopped in front of the stele, bent down and looked at the scorched marks on it, "Sure enough, it hasn't been dismantled, I didn't expect this thing to be burnt."

Under the scorched black marks of fire, some crude animal head patterns and some crooked scratches carved by humans can be vaguely seen.Xiaodou brushed away the accumulated dust at the scratch, revealing a line of indistinct and crooked handwriting.She knelt down, identified it carefully, and said with difficulty: "Ma... ryam..."

"Mariam." Kasim lowered his eyes, "It's my sister's name. Senapu told you about her, right?...It is said that this place was a temple earlier, and a few temples were left when it was demolished." This kind of obelisk. Mariam likes the pattern on this thing very much. When we were young, when we were looking for food in the garbage, she used stones to write and draw on it." He bent down and looked at the small words , "How long did it take to carve so deeply... After all, that guy is really easy to understand. Every time he ran out of trouble, he would squat next to this monument and cry non-stop. Wasting time looking for it." His voice became softer, he lowered his eyes and used his fingers to pick the thin ash on the words, and muttered to himself: "...Could it be used to engrave this stuff?"

Xiaodou looked at him, then turned his head again, and continued to wipe the dust below.

Gradually, more crooked patterns were revealed.

Alas, although I did come to the South District to trigger the memory killing incident... But Kasim casually talked about his sister who died of illness early, it was really a bit abusive.

She was silent for a while, then looked up at him, knocked on the stone tablet: "Get up and take it back?"

Kasim sneered, "Don't be stupid." Leaning sideways on the stele, he slowly exhaled smoke, "If you die, you will lose everything. What's the point of doing such a thing?"

As if stating the pros and cons of something common, he spoke slowly in a calm tone.

"If you say that if the king of this country dies, all the citizens must mourn for him, then even if people like us die in a corner where no one is there one day, no one cares about it, no one mourns, we can only live together in the mud People will shed a few tears for you. When Mariam died, I, Senap and Hassan all cried."

In the young man's eyes that were dyed pale gold by the setting sun, there was an evil and indifferent tranquility.

"If we die too, I'm afraid no one will cry for us. So instead of commemorating the dead in different ways, it's better to think about how to let the living continue to live desperately."

Xiaodou was slightly taken aback.

……

Kassim made an appointment with people from the black market to meet in the southern area, so Xiaodou didn't follow him, but waited for him at the tavern where he had agreed to meet, and then returned to the base together.

The people who come and go in this tavern are all "colleagues", thieves, thieves, ghosts and snakes, all of them are big men with hideous faces.Xiaodou was brought in by Kassim, so he was treated quite well, and no one found fault except for being stared at a few times.She was bored and gambled a few times on gold beads with a few familiar black market dealers, but the wallet that was just full was deflated by a third in a short while.

When it was dark, Kasim did not come back, and Xiaodou couldn't wait anymore, so he slipped outside for a stroll.When it was completely dark and returned to the tavern, I heard Kasim's voice as soon as I entered the door: "...have another drink."

Xiaodou looked up and was stunned for a moment - Kasim was sitting at a table in the back of the tavern, but he was not alone, there was another person sitting opposite him.

This is a young man with delicate features. His beautiful and supple blond hair is particularly conspicuous. Although the clothes are not fancy, the fabrics are very good. Looking at the embroidered patterns on the cuffs, he is definitely a little noble from some family.

Just as she cast her eyes on the boy, a line of small golden words floated above the boy's head.

Xiaodou was stunned... I'll go, Alibaba Bacteria, I've known you for a long time!

Wait a minute, what occasion is this today?

——Completely different from his usual lazy and languid appearance, Kasim smiled brightly, as if he was a different person.He pushed a glass of wine to Ali Baba, "Come to have a drink?" Seeing Alibaba's bewildered face, he laughed out loud, "Don't tell me you don't know how to drink."

Alibaba immediately snatched the wine glass with some shame, "Of course I will drink it, don't underestimate people!" He raised his head and took a big gulp.

All the taverns served were spirits, and Ali Baba immediately choked and coughed.Kasim smiled and patted him on the back, "Don't be brave, Ali Baba."

Ali Baba blushed from coughing, and asked after a while, "Qasim, how are you doing? How about everyone in the slums?..."

Xiaodou scratched the wall when he heard the sound of his heart.

Fork, we have reached a turning point in the plot!

She was hesitating whether to go there, but she was shaken by Alibaba's last question——

"Where's Mariam, is she all right?"

Xiaodou paused with her cloaked hands, and subconsciously looked at Kasim.

At that time, Kasim was holding a wine glass to his lips; Hearing this, he just raised his eyes lightly and looked at Ali Baba.Then he raised his head slightly, took a sip of wine, and then put down the glass unhurriedly.

His lips were still smiling.

"Everyone is very good. After the demolition of the South District, most of the former playmates are doing some small businesses, and their lives are still passable."

He put down his wine glass, and laughed more and more happily, his expression was full of fresh and happy youthful spirit.

"It's Mariam... It's a headache. After girls grow up, they will start to become troublesome."

Alibaba opened his eyes wide and said "oh", "I feel envious."

He scratched his cheek, revealing a green smile.

"It's nice to have a sister."

After a short pause.

Kasim shrugged, "Really? I don't think so at all." Then he clinked glasses with Ali Baba lightly, "In short, today's topic is reunion after a long absence, so let's not mention troublesome little girls for now."

He tilted his head and smiled with his chin propped up.

"Continued Cup."

After Ali Baba drank the wine in his glass, Kasim said with a smile again: "Then how are you doing? After you go to the palace, can you come out and walk freely like this from time to time?"

"When... hiccup, of course not." Ali Baba shook his head, "There are so many rules, let alone going out of the palace gate, you can't even walk around in the palace at will..." The young man spoke slowly, Obviously drunk, "But I... I sneaked out this time... Well, I just used that, that—"

He blinked sluggishly, and then continued slowly: "——It's a secret way."
