Chapter 762: Crocodile Tears

In the evening, in Aaron's restaurant, Aaron, Dunbingwei, and Cyrano were talking, talking about Dunbingwei's experience in the past few years, and some past deeds of Cyrano.

Aaron was very happy to hear it, but also worried. After all, which sister would rest assured that her brother was fighting vicious pirates outside? However, Dunbingwei always emphasized that he was not injured, which made Aaron feel relieved.

However, at the dinner table, there was one person who did not participate in the discussion, and that was Ryoma. He couldn't recall his past, but...

Whether it was Dunbingwei's experience in the past few years or Cyrano's past achievements, Ryoma felt that there was nothing new, and even felt very boring. The topic was not as attractive to him as the barbecue in front of him.

The three of them didn't seem to have much appetite. Because of the reunion, the siblings had a lot to say, so they were not in the mood to eat. Cyrano seemed to be suffering from seasickness.

"Mr. Ryoma, since you are a swordsman, why don't you wear a sword?"

Suddenly, Dunbingwei asked Ryoma. Aaron looked at Ryoma whose cheeks were swollen like a hamster, and was about to explain to him, but Ryoma swallowed the food in his mouth directly, and then calmly showed arrogance. said:

"Without enemies, there is no sword."

"Oh? No enemies? It seems Mr. Ryoma is very confident in his sword skills!"

Cyrano, who was eating vinegar kelp, looked at Ryoma, his eyes seemed to be shimmering, and the Dunbingwei also looked at Ryoma in astonishment. Could it be that his sister really found a great swordsman?

This tone of voice, and the unstoppable arrogance of a great swordsman with a greasy face, this is a temperament that even his teacher does not possess!

"What, he is serving tea and pouring water in my shop every day. Where can he meet enemies? It's inconvenient to work with a knife."

Aaron waved his hand. In her perception, Ryoma is a third-rate swordsman who can't become a samurai. Moreover, Ryoma's speech is very strange, but now it is misunderstood by others.

Dunbingwei looked at Ryoma with some doubts, and Ryoma nodded, indicating that Aaron was right. As for his posture, he didn't know his posture at all.

But Cyrano seemed a little unwilling, and asked, "Can I borrow Mr. Ryoma's saber to have a look? I have my own opinions on swordsmen's sabers, and I'm happy to do so. I hope Mr. Ryoma will agree."

"sure!"

Ryoma nodded without hesitation, stood up and was about to get his saber, but Aaron stopped him, pointed to his hands covered with oil and meat sauce, and said, "Let me get it for you." .”

After finishing speaking, Aaron stood up and walked towards the backyard. After a while, Aaron returned to the small restaurant with Ryoma's saber in his arms, and Cyrano also looked over it immediately.

When he saw this saber outfit, Cyrano directly gave this saber a failing grade in his heart. This saber outfit is completely at the level of an apprentice, and the fit is probably a big problem.

Generally, a better sword will not be equipped with such a hip-pull sword outfit, and judging by the wear and tear of the sword outfit, it is obvious that Ryoma has also used it for a period of time, and even experienced battles.

However, Cyrano still took Ryoma's saber from Aaron with a smile, sat a little further away, and slowly unsheathed it. The cramped feeling of pulling out the saber made Cyrano's evaluation of this saber even lower in his heart. point.

When the long knife was out of its sheath, Cyrano felt the weight, center of gravity and shape of the long knife. There was no major problem, but it was a bit thicker, but this did not explain anything, after all, maybe there is a template for comparison.

Taking a closer look at the blade pattern, Cyrano frowned. He couldn't recognize what kind of blade pattern it was. In his impression, no famous knife, or a master knife forger, could make such a style of blade pattern. .

Maybe some apprentice made it randomly, and seeing the gray body of the sword, the blade is not white, the ground is not black, and the pick is not bright, the evaluation in his heart will drop again.

He placed the long knife on the ground again and pressed it a little, wanting to feel the toughness and straightness of the blade, but Cyrano soon found that the long knife was not bent at all.

This made Cyrano couldn't help curling his lips, how could there be such a knife? It's almost like an iron ruler, no! An iron ruler is tougher than this knife.

Cyrano even doubted that if this knife was really used for battle, would it burst directly when it collided?

After watching this knife, Cyrano's evaluation of the knife and Ryoma, the knife holder, dropped to the lowest. Obviously, Ryoma is just a stronger ordinary person, and he has extremely poor eyesight, and he can't even choose a knife. ,

But Cyrano didn't show it, but slowly put the long knife back into its sheath, handed it back to Aaron, and said: "Only Mr. Longma's burly body can control such a strange long knife, I don't know What is this knife called?"

"Autumn water."

Ryoma didn't notice Cyrano's abnormality, but replied calmly, Cyrano's eyelids twitched, such a gray and colorless knife, it's actually called Qiushui, what a waste of the name.

However, Cyrano still maintained his elegant demeanor, and said: "Haha~ I really look forward to seeing Mr. Ryoma's fighting demeanor, it must be very unique."

"Are you inviting a battle?! I will accompany you anytime!"

Longma's one-eyed suddenly lit up, and he reached out to grab Qiushui, which Aaron was holding in his arms, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Aaron patted it with his backhand.

Looking at the oil stains in his hands, Aaron said with disgust and helplessness: "I said Ryoma, you should be a little more polite, right? It's too rude to say that!"

Ryoma didn't see the weirdness on Cyrano's face just now, but Aaron could see it clearly, but it was all within her expectations. What kind of famous sword can Ryoma, a third-rate swordsman, be equipped with?

And Aaron also heard that Cyrano was just talking about the scene, of course she had to stop Ryoma, otherwise what if Ryoma really couldn't think about fighting Cyrano?

"is that so?"

Longma was a little ignorant, but he still withdrew his hand. He didn't understand why Aaron wanted to stop him. After all, isn't it a normal thing to fight between swordsmen?

Is it because he is afraid that he will lose? impossible! How do you know who wins and who loses before the competition?

But under the offensive of Aaron's eyes, Ryoma still gave up this idea, continued to grab a large piece of barbecue and ate it, completely forgetting this little episode.

Dunbingwei felt a little relieved when he saw that Ryoma was easily controlled by his sister. He was most afraid that his sister would find an unreliable man, but now it seems that Ryoma is somewhat disabled and his brain is not very good, but he is very obedient.

In this way, if the two really get together in the future, Dunbingwei doesn't have to worry about his sister being bullied by this man. All right.

Although Danbei has decided that he will not go to sea again after returning to Wano Country this time, it is impossible to take care of his sister all the time, and his sister's age. If she doesn't marry, she will be gossiped by others.

From the current point of view, although Ryoma is not the most perfect one, it is also very suitable for his sister.

Seeing his younger brother's eyes of "I know the truth" appeared again, Aaron quickly looked at Cyrano, changed the subject and said:

"Mr. Cyrano, can you explain in detail what you said about the dragon horn flute and the flying dragon this afternoon?"

Cyrano nodded and said: "Of course, even if you don't ask, you will learn from him in a few days that the purpose of my trip is to help Wano country repel the flying dragons that may come.

This dragon horn flute is said to be the dragon horn of an ancient dragon. After it died, someone took off his dragon horn and made a mysterious musical instrument, which can call flying dragons.

Ten years ago, I traveled across the sea. When I passed an island named Shandora, someone called the flying dragon with a dragon horn flute. During that battle, I also clearly felt the power of the flying dragon.

It also allowed me to discover the traces of the dragon horn flute and the characteristics of the flying dragon. "

In Cyrano's few words, Aaron, who was not very knowledgeable, showed a curious look. Although it was not the first time for Dunbingwei to hear this story, he was still very excited.

Cyrano paused for a moment, and after arousing the curiosity of the two, he still looked at Ryoma unwillingly, but Ryoma's face was calm, as if he was not interested in Feilong.

Frowning, Cyrano did not stop his narration, but continued: "It is not unconditional for the dragon horn flute to call the flying dragon, only in places where there is a lot of food for the flying dragon, can the flying dragon be called.

And the food of flying dragons is gold! Ten years ago, I first met Feilong. Due to lack of experience, Shandora lost a lot of gold. By the way, Shandora, like your Wano country, is a place rich in gold. "

"Then our Wano country isn't it?"

Aaron opened his mouth slightly, with a look of worry in his eyes, Cyrano nodded and said, "Yes, Wano Country is very dangerous.

When I learned that the dragon horn flute might appear in Wano country half a year ago, I started to set off and prepared to come to Wano country. Fortunately, I was not too late. "

"half year ago?"

Aaron glanced at Ryoma who was feasting. Ryoma was rescued by her half a year ago. Could Ryoma have something to do with the dragon horn flute?

But this idea just flashed through Aaron's mind, and he denied it. After all, Longma was saved by her, and she couldn't understand it better.

Apart from the current knife, Ryoma only had tattered clothes, and during the period when Ryoma was unconscious, Aaron touched and wiped Ryoma's body more than once, and did not carry anything else.

Moreover, how could such a terrifying existence of flying dragon have anything to do with Ryoma?

Cyrano continued: "Now that the disaster has not happened, the best thing is to prevent the disaster from happening. Tomorrow I plan to visit the general of Wano country and let him start a search of Wano country.

Try to catch the criminals who have fled here before the dragon horn flute is used! "

Hearing Cyrano's upright words, Aaron nodded and said, "Then please, Mr. Cyrano."

Cyrano waved his hand, and said modestly: "I'm just doing my best for the sea, and I really can't bear to see people burn to death."

Aaron patted the dragon horse who was feasting, and said, "Have you heard that, this is the bearing that a swordsman should have, not like you, who think about being brave and fierce every day."

Ryoma didn't refute, after all, this is what he thinks a swordsman should have, beheading for the world! He seems to have seen such a swordsman before, but he can't remember it.

That night, Aaron arranged the beds for Cyrano and Dunbingwei, and when he stood in front of his door, he didn't push the door directly to enter, after all, Ryoma was in her room.

After making a lot of mental preparations in his heart, and even thinking about how much he should give in, Aaron pushed the door and walked in, but this guy Longma had already brought a piece of wood and slept by the door.

Seeing Ryoma, who was resting on the wood and holding his saber, and had already started to sleep, Aaron sighed. Sure enough, he couldn't look at Ryoma the way he looked at other men.

Back on her bed, Aaron couldn't fall asleep anyway, the dim candles flickered on and off, she didn't know how many times she wanted Long Ma to sleep on the bed.

After all, it's winter now, so Ryoma just sleeps on the ground without a quilt, what if he gets sick?

In this way, Aaron didn't fall asleep until dawn, and he didn't know how to wake up Ryoma, but when she couldn't help falling asleep at dawn, she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

She quickly sat up and looked at Ryoma, but Ryoma was holding the wood in one hand and his saber in the other, and opened the door awkwardly.

"Are you awake?"

Ryoma nodded and said, "Well, it's very comfortable to sleep after eating meat!"

Aaron's face darkened, looking at the energetic Ryoma, and thinking about how she couldn't sleep all night, she suddenly felt ashamed, so she directly covered her head with the quilt, ignoring this annoying guy.

As soon as she covered her head, Aaron fell asleep. When she woke up, she found that it was already noon. Looking at the bright winter sun, Aaron suddenly panicked.

After all, noon is the time when her restaurant has the most customers. If she misses it, including the expenses, it will be a loss today!

Regardless of the swelling and pain in his head, Aaron quickly got up from the bed, changed his clothes, and went to the shop in front, only to find that Longma, who was always just serving tea and water, was actually working in the back kitchen with a decent appearance. Work.

Although he always took the wrong side dishes, Ryoma seemed to be extraordinarily serious, and the diners outside seemed to be looking at the meat today, and didn't pursue it, or in the past six months, they gradually got used to not being able to eat their own food. order.

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't ask anything, but naturally came to the back kitchen and helped Longma cook together. Longma never asked Aaron why he slept so late today.

In the evening, Cyrano and Dunbingwei had just returned from the snowstorm. During the conversation, Aaron learned that General Wano Kun attached great importance to this matter and had informed the daimyos to start the search.

And two days later, the news also began to circulate in the streets of Wano Country, and for a while, some people panicked.

Just half a year ago, Long Ma, who had only appeared in Aaron's shop and couldn't tell where his hometown was, had also been searched more than once.

Of course, for the sake of Cyrano, the attitude of the warriors is not bad, they are just performing their duties, searched several times, and after Aaron's house was turned upside down, the warriors finally ruled out Ryoma. suspected.

However, this also made the business in Aaron's shop very poor. Except for a few lonely old neighbors who couldn't cook for themselves, there were no other customers every day.

Although the samurai adults have ruled out the suspicion of Ryoma, what if Ryoma slips through the net? Are there any delicacies in Aaron's house? It's just a cheap meal replacement, so there's no need to risk yourself.

The loss for several days in a row also made Aaron extremely distressed, praying that the warriors would find the criminal as soon as possible, so that Ryoma would be innocent and the business of their store would recover as soon as possible.

In the next few days, the business in the store became worse and worse, but this time it was not because of Ryoma's suspicious identity, but because the rumors became more and more terrifying. Many people chose to leave and go outside the city where there was no gold. , Refuge in the woods.

There were even many nobles and wealthy families who moved out of the city. Cyrano also persuaded Aaron to let her leave the city with Ryoma and Dunbingwei, but Aaron refused.

After all, this small restaurant is her ancestral property and her only property. After leaving here, she doesn't even know where to go.

The Dunbingwei also insisted on staying with Cyrano, saying that he wanted to hunt down the enemy with his teacher, or fight against the flying dragon. After repeated persuasion to no avail, Cyrano stopped persuading him.

Aaron's face became more and more sad every day. In a few days, the surplus food and meat in the family would be eaten up, and she had no money on her, so she didn't know how to continue living.

"Can you build a house?"

In the small restaurant, because there was no one there, it was rare for Ryoma who stayed in the store with Qiushui in his arms. He suddenly asked Aaron. Aaron froze for a moment, then shook his head helplessly. Ryoma thought for a while, and said:

"I heard in the morning that a large number of carpenters are needed outside the city. I don't understand the work of carpenters, but I can cut trees for them. Even if I can't get the full wages, I can exchange some food."

Hearing Ryoma's words, Aaron suddenly felt a strange emotion rise in his heart, as if the feeling of being dependent was pulled away a little bit.

This feeling is like the feeling that Danbingwei felt when his parents died when he was young, and he grew up slowly until he left his hometown.

She looked at Ryoma, at the man who even needed her to feed him half a year ago, and now he was going to replace her, considering the family's income, she pursed her lips, speechless for a while.

Suddenly, there was a shouting sound outside the door. After listening carefully, Aaron panicked instantly, because people were saying that the dragon horn flute had been found, but it had already been blown.

This means that the flying dragon is coming!

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Ryoma, only to find that Ryoma was drinking the cold tea soup, and she asked a little dumbfounded, "Ryoma, aren't you afraid?"

Ryoma raised his head, looked at Aaron with one eye, then shook his head, and said, "Don't be afraid, I have forgotten all the things I did before, and I have nothing to worry about. Among the people I know now, you are the most important. If you don't want to leave, I won't leave." Walk."

Listening to Ryoma's words, Aaron covered his mouth and nose, with tears in his eyes. After a long time, she put down her hands, smiled, and said, "If I don't leave, do you want to die with me?"

Long Ma looked at Aaron quietly without answering, but Aaron seemed to understand something, bit his lower lip, and walked towards the kitchen. found a bottle of wine.

"This is the wine my father learned from a businessman from the Kingdom of Flowers to make wine. He said that when I got married, I would have a drink with my husband. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance.

I'm afraid there will never be a better time. Would you like a drink? "

Putting the wine and meat on the table, Aaron looked at Longma and asked. Put it in front of the dragon horse.

"Have you ever had a drink?"

Aaron, who picked up the wine glass, asked Ryoma curiously. Ryoma nodded and said, "It should have been drunk."

"tasty?"

"It's delicious."

Hearing Ryoma's answer, Aaron raised his glass, touched Ryoma's cup, and drank it down. But the next second, her face turned red. Looking at Ryoma, she said angrily, "You lied to me!"

With a confused expression on his face, Long Ma drank the wine in the glass and said, "It's a very good wine."

"That's all for you to drink!"

Aaron pushed the wine jar towards Ryoma, and then began to pick up a few pieces of meat that were not as big as a finger, and began to chew them, alleviating the strange spicy taste.

"Sister! Sister!"

Suddenly, the anxious Dunbingwei pushed the door and entered, seeing that the two were still eating and drinking, he said angrily, "Sister! The flying dragon is coming soon, let's go!"

"I won't go!" Aaron said stubbornly: "Father only told me two things, taking care of you growing up, and running this restaurant. I can't go."

"Ryoma! You persuade my sister."

The Dunbingwei looked at Ryoma with pleading eyes, Ryoma didn't answer, but Aaron said: "He won't go, he said, even if he dies, he will die with me!"

"you."

Looking at the two of them, Dunbingwei waved his hands and was so angry that he didn't know what to say. At this time, Cyrano also came outside the store. Hearing this conversation, he looked at his student and said:

"Dunbingwei, you are here, take care of your sister, Feilong is here, as long as I'm here."

"But."

"No but!"

Cyrano pushed the Dunbing Guard into the restaurant, and then closed the door. At this time, there were faint hissing and roaring from outside the sky.

Through the small window of the restaurant, one could faintly see some unknown object dancing in the sky, but it was too far away to see the whole picture clearly.

Dunbingwei instantly understood that the flying dragon was coming, he kept pacing anxiously in the shop, listening to the sound of people running and shouting outside the door, he became more and more anxious.

But in the blink of an eye, he saw his sister and that man, eating meat and drinking, which made Dunbingwei feel absurd. Don't they know what a flying dragon is? !

As time passed, the sound of running and shouting became less and less, not because it was safe, but because all the people who could run had run away, and the roar of the flying dragon became louder and closer.

The lights and shadows in the room kept flickering, as if something in the sky was always blocking the view, finally, Dunbingwei couldn't help but said: "No! I'm going to help the teacher!"

Speaking, Dunbingwei ignored the teacher's order and his own sister, and rushed out the door. Aaron was startled, and quickly got up, chasing the door, but when she came to the door, she froze. in place.

Ryoma also got up from the table and walked to the door. In front of his eyes, the people on the big merchant ship that came to Wano country before were carrying huge boxes, wantonly destroying people's houses and collecting gold.

In the middle of the road, Cyrano slowly pulled out the knife in his hand from the Dunbingwei. He looked at the Dunbingwei who fell on the ground, touched the tears in the corner of his eyes, and said, "I don't want to kill you!" , my dear student."
