Doomsday Bandits and Tramps

========================

The two came to the restaurant, food was prepared on the table, and a middle-aged man was already seated.

Murray introduced the pair: "This is my father."

"Hello, uncle."

Xiu nodded his head in greeting, Seth looked around the decoration of the restaurant, turned a deaf ear to Murray's introduction, Xiu smiled awkwardly, nudged him with his elbow, and Seth nodded slightly at the man.

"Come on, sit down."

Murray enthusiastically helped the two of them open the chair, Seth sat down, stretched out his hand to pinch a large piece of meat, and put it in his mouth.

At the dining table, Murray and his son stared at Seth who was devouring, and kicked him under the table to fix his shame.

"Why," Seth reluctantly handed over the half-bitten meat, "Do you want to eat it?"

Xiu glared at him, and lowered his voice to remind: "This is in someone's house, not in a dark alley, so behave yourself."

"Heaven and earth conscience, am I still unruly?" Seth leaned into Xiu's ear and whispered with an innocent face, "I haven't taken a single thing since I entered the door."

"You're awesome," Xiu squeezed a smile at him, and then muttered coldly, "Why don't you eat the whole pot of meat?"

"I'm hungry."

"Hahaha, it's okay," Murray's father smiled generously, and pushed the meat bowl in front of the two of them, "It's like coming to your own home, you can eat whatever you want."

Thanks to Xiu Dao, Seth immediately let go of his stomach when he heard about it, and ate Hesai like a hungry wolf, without any intention of leaving it for others.

Xiu resisted the urge to kick people out in person, and explained to Murray's father, "Sorry, my friend is too hungry."

"Hey, I said it's the same as my own home, so you don't have to look outside like this."

Murray's father took a piece of bread, accompanied by fresh vegetables, smoked meat slices, and spread butter, brought it to his mouth and took a bite. He didn't forget to wipe the corners of his mouth that were stuck with gravy: "Listen to my son, yesterday was I don't know how to thank you for saving the convoy from gangsters."

"No thanks, just give us..."

Seth interjected, and Xiu stomped on him hard. Before he could yell out, Xiu stared back with a cannibalistic expression.

"It's a matter of little effort," settled Seth, and picked a piece of bread like Murray's father. After trying a few times, it felt particularly awkward, "Murray saved me first, and I was just paying him back."

"Hehe, don't be modest. That kid is a stupefied young man. After traveling for so long, he still can't take charge of the business route alone. If this continues, let alone this family, whether he can save his own life is a problem."

"Where," Xiu complimented, "Murray is so young, he is already excellent at dealing with the mercenary team and the bandits. And if it wasn't for him, I would be the one who will lose his life now."

"Hehe, you're overrated."

Murray's father said so, but he still had a smile on his face when he heard his son being praised.

"By the way, since you two are here, I must treat you well."

Murray's father leaned on a cane by the table, got up and went to the kitchen,

"Your father's leg?"

Murray shook his head and said in a low voice: "A few years ago, my father was injured when he was running a business road. The doctor asked him to rest in bed for a month. When it’s raining, it’s so painful that I can’t even stand up, let alone run a business route.”

"Then your mother, why didn't she come to eat?"

"She went out to do some shopping and told them not to wait for her before she left."

Murray ate the bread as fastidiously as his father, and said, "I really want to thank you last night. Now that the war is tense, the military has blocked the commercial roads, and the chamber of commerce has also suspended operations. Thanks to you, we can keep the remaining Goods, otherwise we may not be able to survive the unblocking of the trade roads."

"Hey, then do we have to charge you a thank you fee?"

Hugh grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed Seth's mouth, then said to Murray, "He's joking, ignore him."

"Xiu, you two have a good relationship." Murray didn't care, and asked curiously while chewing bread. "Didn't you say you were a homeless man in the car yesterday? He is your friend?"

"We are a couple." Seth poured down the bread with a sip of water, enthusiastically draped Xiu's shoulders, and pulled him into his arms, "How about it, it's a good match!"

Xiu felt struck by lightning, and with a black face, he wanted to tear his mouth open, and Seth triumphantly gave him a wink,

"Really?!" Murray blinked at the two, with an expression of listening to gossip: "Then who of you will go up and down?"

Xiu felt struck by lightning again.

Murray looked honest, but what was on his mind.

"Don't listen to his fart, we just met by chance."

Seth raised his hand and hooked his fingers cooperatively: "Yes, we just met 'by chance'."

Murray understood, and nodded towards Satisfy with an expression of "I understand".

"..."

"Don't talk about anything, laugh so happily."

"It's nothing to talk about." Xiu was unable to complain, and concentrated on eating.

Murray's father held a bottle of wine as a treasure, and asked the servants to bring wine glasses, and poured them himself: "This is the wine brought back from Covinion City, you must try it."

"Covinian?"

Murray explained: "It's a human fortress located on the west coast across the continent. It's a city at the end of the trade road. It's as prosperous as Tinis City. Unfortunately, it's too far away. It takes half a month for the convoy to go back and forth. We rarely go either.”

"I must taste the wine brought back from the other side of the mainland all the way."

Seth couldn't wait to take the wine glass, the crystal clear wine exudes a light fruity aroma, the taste is delicate but not heavy, refreshing and sweet.

"taste good."

"As long as you like it."

The people in the restaurant were eating and drinking, the door suddenly opened, and the woman hummed a ditty and entered the restaurant with big bags and small bags.

"I'm back, have you had lunch yet?"

"Oh, I just went out to eat something casually, huh? Are there any guests at home?"

Murray's mother swept the dining table, and the moment she saw Xiu, she backed away in panic: "He, why is he here!"

"Mom," Murray immediately stepped forward to comfort his mother, "He is Xiu, do you remember, he helped us yesterday."

"oh oh......"

Murray saw his mother calm down a little, took the things in her hands and put them into the kitchen.

Murray's mother was still a little apprehensive. She leaned against the wall, walked to Murray's father in a few steps, and whispered something.

"It seems that you are not well received by others."

Xiu glanced at Seth, got up quickly and said, "Uncle, thank you for your hospitality, we have something to leave first."

"Ah, are you leaving now?"

Murray hurried out of the kitchen when he heard this: "Dad, what did you promise me?"

Murray's father patted Murray on the face, and said to Xiu: "Mr. Xiu, I heard that you live all over the world and have no fixed place. Maybe you are used to this kind of life, maybe you have other reasons. But we want you to stay."

"Dad..."

Murray's mother was a little excited, but Murray's father interrupted her with a raised hand: "This is Murray's idea. Of course, I also sincerely hope that you can stay. Our caravan needs talents like you."

"Yes, Xiu, our caravan is really short of manpower, stay here, we won't treat you badly."

Seth was listening, and couldn't help snickering: "I take back what I said just now, you are quite popular."

"To shut up."

Xiu glared at Seth, and looked at the Murray family of three, with three different expressions: "Murray, uncle, I..."

"You don't have to rush to answer," Murray's father said, "you can give us an answer at any time before the trade road is unblocked."

"I'm sorry," Seth wiped his mouth, got up and hugged Xiu, and interrupted forcefully, "He is my man, wherever I go, he will go."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense!"

Murray's father was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hehe, it seems that your boyfriend is worried about us."

"Uncle, don't listen to his nonsense, I just met him."

"I understand, I understand everything."

You know a hammer! ! !

"Since your friends don't trust you, you can all stay. Although our family has no family background, we can use two pairs of chopsticks to persist until the business road is unsealed."

"Oh, then you are really emotional."

"Xiu is a nice young man, and he is my son's lifesaver. Naturally, I can't treat him badly. You are his friend, and I also believe in your character and strength."

Seth smiled coldly, and took off his cowboy hat, revealing his conspicuous red hair, his eyes were suddenly stained with undisguised greed: "Even so, are you willing to believe me?"

Murray's mother stared at Seth and exclaimed, "It's red, a red-tailed scorpion!"

"Yes, it's me."

Seth pulled the chair away, put his feet on the table, and made the three of Murray tremble: "Xiu is mine, I can't let him go to your caravan. However, it depends on your sincerity." Come on, we can make a deal."

Murray's father stood in front of the mother and son, seemingly calm, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed the fear in his heart: "What, what deal?"

"You all know what happened yesterday. Those mercenaries look tall and powerful, but they are actually strong outsiders and hard workers. It's too unreliable. Why don't you invite me to ensure the safety of your convoy? You pay me a certain amount of money on a regular basis. How about this number?"

Seth spread his five fingers and doubled back and forth.

"One, one hundred gold coins?"

"A hundred gold bars," said Seth, "a hundred gold bars every month."

Before Seth asked for the price, Xiu thought he was joking, but it was not until he quoted the price that Xiu realized that he was serious.Seth's eyes were full of insatiable greed, and it was the vicious and vicious red-tailed scorpion on the arrest warrant that was fake.

For him, Seth put away his pliers and poisonous needle; for ordinary people, he is a frightening bandit.

No, maybe Seth didn't put away the pliers and the poisonous needle from the beginning to the end, he just hid it, waiting for the moment to strike at any time.

He is a bandit.

He shouldn't trust a bandit who does all kinds of evil.

"What are you talking about! Get out of here!"

Xiu pulled Seth up, but Seth didn't resist, and let him drag him obediently, and even winked at him quietly.

Xiu didn't know what trick he was trying to play again, and grabbed his collar to apologize to the Murray family: "I'm sorry, we're leaving now."

"Xiu," Murray stopped him, "are you really with the red-tailed scorpion?"

Xiu looked back at Murray without much explanation: "Don't worry, we won't show up again."

However, as soon as he took a step, his vision began to blur.

Xiu fell to the ground, beside Seth who also fainted.
