Chapter 2 Stink

Just when Tufu was thinking more and more, the old man suddenly said: "I am just saying this to remind you that this country is far from as peaceful as it appears. As for the guy who controls the shadow of the kingdom... She is the princess of this country.”

"Woman" Tufu said doubtfully: "A woman has controlled all the evil deeds in this country... This sounds a bit too ridiculous. Could it be that you are mistaken? The princess you are talking about is just in the dark. The illusion created by the monarch”

The old man shook his head, and then did not want to talk about this matter anymore. He led the topic in another direction: "I will leave this country today. Although there are still many accidents, today is indeed the most lax in this kingdom." At that time, as long as I successfully arrived at the pier, no one could stop me. But... I didn't expect to meet this silly girl halfway. I was worried about what to do, but since you are here to save her, then I’ll leave her to you, old man, my ship is almost ready to depart, so I won’t chat with you any more.”

As he spoke, the old man reached out and grabbed the little girl's wrist, and then pulled her forward. Looking at the little girl's expression that was about to cry, the old man said expressionlessly: "I'm already too old to look good. , I can’t provide you with any help at all. I heard it just now outside the door... You want to continue to stay in this country... don’t you? In this case, there is no way we can walk together. On the road, follow this man. He will take you to a peaceful country and give you a better life."

Tufu touched his nose in embarrassment when he heard this, and then thought to himself: "Why does this sound so like the tone of an old man marrying his daughter? I haven't expressed any opinions yet, why has it been arranged for me?"

Tufu took a careful look at the little girl. Although her face was dirty, the face hidden under the dust was not ugly. It could even be said to be of average appearance. And this was exactly the face that was hidden under the dust. The reason why the rich old man is eyeing her, however, is not that her beautiful appearance and somewhat childish appearance cannot arouse the slightest protection from Tufu.

But for some reason, Tufu nodded obediently, and then said confidently: "Don't worry, leave this girl to me. I will definitely ensure her safety and never let those with ulterior motives touch her." Not a hair on her head"

Hearing the words, the old man couldn't help but nodded reassuringly, and the wrinkles on his face like dead bark stretched out. Immediately afterwards, the old man seemed to have thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and then put the musket on his waist again. He pulled it out and handed it to Tuf.

"Although this gun has been with me for a long time, it has also saved me many times in the past few decades, and it can be regarded as fulfilling its duty. However, the time of separation has finally come, and I am almost too old to walk. It's gone, and naturally I can't use it properly anymore. Just like just now, after I dodged your fist, I should have shot you in the head again, but this body can't do anything about it. If you do it again... In this case, I might as well give you this gun, it would be better than if I die and this gun is used by children as a toy..."

Tuf could see from the old man's eyes that he indeed had a deep affection for this pistol. For some special reasons, Tuf agreed and took the gun, then stuffed it into the little girl's hand. In his hand, Tufu then said: "If that's the case, I won't stop you anymore, but... can you walk to the pier alone? My punch just now didn't make any difference, even if You were not hit directly, but with your current body I am afraid you will have to suffer a lot. How about... I will help you find your boat."

The old man smiled and shook his head and said: "Old man, although I am about to die, I was not a weak young man when I was young. You don't have to worry about this bad old man like me. It's only half the distance from the royal city. I'll tell you later. You can just walk over.”

Tufu nodded when he heard this, and then said as if he believed it: "In this case, I can only wish you a good journey. I will take good care of this little girl. By the way, does this place have anything for you? You see the deeper meaning... I am penniless now. If I want to support the two of us, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money. I think the decoration here is pretty good. I'm afraid there should be a lot of money hidden somewhere. .”

Hearing this, the smile on the old man's face subsided. He stared firmly into Tuf's eyes, trying to judge whether Tuf was a money-grubbing guy, but Tuf's words just now were not for himself. Therefore, this old man with vicissitudes of life didn't see anything worth noting in Tuf's eyes.

The old man limped to the package he dropped on the ground, and then bent down to pick it up. However, Tufu even heard the "clicking" sound coming from the old man's body, but the old man He was quite a tough guy and didn't even let out a muffled groan. The old man opened the package with his back to Tufu, then reached out and fumbled around for a while, and took out a scroll.

Afterwards, the old man put the package back on his back, then turned around and waved to Tuf, Tuf saw this and walked over, then the old man handed the scroll to Tuf, Tuf opened the scroll in doubt, What appeared in front of his eyes was a map, and there was a key on the map. Tuf picked up the key, and then carefully looked at the map. He saw a place on it marked with a bright red dye. , and there is a picture of a key.

Tufu's face twitched twice, then he pointed at the mark on the map with the key in his hand and said: "This...could it be the legendary...treasure map?"

The old man nodded, then didn't seem to notice the expression on Tufu's face that seemed to be asking are you kidding me again, and said to himself: "I have lived in this country for decades, and I have witnessed This country has experienced various turmoils, but since all the patron saints of this country disappeared, this country has undergone earth-shaking changes. Although there were places like sewers here in the past, there was a lack of discipline and there was no one to look for. Those guys who didn't even have enough to eat came to do things for themselves, but everything has changed... since the first ships came here from the sea..."

The old man stopped here, then shook his head as if mocking himself, and continued: "That place on the map contains the country's most valuable wealth, and even the king's treasure room cannot compare to that place, but , that place is heavily guarded by special troops, so an old man like me will definitely not be able to get it, but with your strength, it is very easy to get that large sum of wealth."

Afterwards, the old man turned around and walked towards the exit without saying anything else to Tufu. However, as an attribute that the old man must bring, he couldn't help but said in the end: "Whether you live or die, I have nothing to do with you." We don't have any friendship, so if you don't believe me, then do whatever you want. But I still hope that I didn't misjudge the person... and give that girl a good ending... "
