- "call¡¡"
Old Hank let out a long breath, patted the dust on his hands, and gently beat his old waist while checking whether all the wooden boards were installed.
This is the last board. As long as the door of the food stall is closed, today's work will be over.
Old Hank came to Reykjavik more than 20 years ago, and he was called Old Hank. It was not because of his age, but because he had experienced more than ten years of mercenary career. He left too many traces of time, so everyone called him Old Hank.
Now, more than 20 years later, Old Hank has really become Old Hank.
He gently hit his waist and shook his hips slightly.
The movement range is not large, but this is the result of Old Hank doing his best.
Old Hank smiled bitterly. After more than twenty years of hard work day and night, the body that was once able to travel with the mercenary group slowly became decayed.
In the eyes of others, Old Hank's life is not that easy. His wife is fierce and his children are naughty. At such an old age, he still has to work from dawn to dusk to run this food stall. It is really far from the words "happiness" and "comfort". far away.
But old Hank is very satisfied with this life.
Standing at the door of his food stall, listening to his mother-in-law lecturing his son, in the quiet night, Old Hank listened to the curses, which felt so beautiful and real.
What¡¯s wrong with living like this! ?
¡°If I were still the mercenary with low fighting spirit and no future, whether I could survive to this day is still a question. Not to mention the cold-faced but warm-hearted wife, the naughty but filial child, and this food stall that is very famous among the common people of Reykjavik.
????????????????????????? However, working from morning to night all day long has made it too much for Old Hank¡¯s increasingly aging body, so Old Hank plans to take advantage of this rare curfew to close the shop early and have a good rest.
It¡¯s strange to say that according to the information Old Hank knows, today at the Charles Palace, the meritorious soldiers who resisted Louis¡¯ invasion should be celebrated today. The whole city should celebrate together, but I don¡¯t know why the city hall issued a curfew order.
However, as a commoner, Old Hank didn't care about things he couldn't figure out. Who knows what trouble the Rochester family in power might have.
?? Let¡¯s just have a curfew, or go to bed early.
Old Hank raised his head and took a look at his food stall. The floor had been cleaned, the wine glasses and plates on the table had also been put away, and all the chairs had been turned over on the table, except for the one in the corner.
There are two old guys still holding the table.
Facing old Hank was Johnny. It is said that when he was young, he had been serving as a soldier in the frontier army of the Charles Empire. Now that he is old and has no heirs or relatives, he found various trust relationships with the military and worked in Reykjah. Unexpectedly, he found a job as a pensioner at Beidamen.
The one with his back to Old Hank is called Greer. Speaking of him, Old Hank doesn't have a good temper. When this guy was young, he was a gangster on this street. He lived by deceiving and bullying honest people every day. He didn't know what. At that time, he suddenly repented and started to make a serious living. Otherwise, Old Hank's food stall would not welcome him.
What surprised Old Hank was how these two unrelated guys could drink together and stay up so late.
"Hey, old Hank, come here, it's just the two of us, don't be busy, get a glass of wine, I'll treat you today"
Johnny had sharp eyes, and when he saw Old Hank constantly looking over here, he invited him to come over and drink together.
"Forget it, Johnny, you still owe me one silver coin and three copper coins I don't need you to treat me, you can just replace the outstanding debt Let's make a deal first, I won't treat you today"
Old Hank muttered, but still poured a cup of the cheapest ale and walked over.
"Okay, old money fan, my salary will be paid in a few days, and I'll give it to you then. I've been drinking at your food stall for ten years, and I only have such a small amount of money. How dare you talk about it every day? "
They were all regular customers, and Old Hank was not polite to Johnny. He put his wine glass on the table and sat down with a straight face.
"Why didn't you tell me how much you drank in the past ten years!? Let's first agree that today is the curfew. After drinking this drink, everyone will go home. I don't want to get into trouble"
Seeing that both of them were disapproving, Old Hank knew that these two drunkards would be useless no matter what they said, so he had to change the topic.
"How did you get together? What are you talking about?"
"Let's talk about An'an a few days ago.Regarding General Drew's troops entering the city," it was Greer who spoke. Although this guy was a gangster in the past, he was born with a good appearance and a magnetic and pleasant voice. "I happened to be out of the city on business that day and came back, and old Johnny also We happened to be on duty, and we all saw the grand occasion of General Andrew entering the city"
Old Hank was reluctant to pay attention to this Greer, but when General Andrew entered the city, he was taking care of the food stalls and did not see the majesty of the royal private army. He has always been very regretful, even though he heard many things from the guests in the food stalls. times, but old Hank couldn't get enough of it.
"Really? Really? Say it quickly, say it quickly"
Under the urging of Old Hank, Greer recounted the grand occasion of that day again.
"Every bastard must have something unique about him, either ruthless or eloquent.
Greer¡¯s narration, coupled with Old Johnny adding fuel to the fire, said that when Mulder gave the order to break in, Old Hank¡¯s blood boiled and he wished he could have been there at that time.
"I was still cheering at that time. Even though I, Greer, used to be a gangster, I have always admired heroes and heroes all my life! No one else dared to say anything, but I dared! Such warriors fighting against the invasion are not worthy of cheering. Who else is? cheer!?"
"good!"
Old Hank shouted, applauding Greer¡¯s bold words!
"Come on, Greer, Old Hank wants to toast you! Just what you said just now, I'm determined to be your friend!"
Or else, alcohol is a bridge of friendship between men. The three people's wine glasses crashed together. The three old guys, who combined were over 150 years old, actually drank a burst of youthful heroism and passion.
"That General Mulder you are talking abouthow come I have never heard of it"
Old Hank put down his wine glass and couldn¡¯t wait to start asking about all the gossip about Bingjia¡¯s entry into the city a few days ago.
"How come you don't know? You've also met General Mulder" Old Johnny looked at the confused old Hank and had to speak more clearly, "Do you remember that twenty days ago, I didn't lead Did you bring an officer to your place for dinner!? That¡¯s General Mulder"
"Really?" Old Johnny looked in disbelief, "Is it that veteran officer? Didn't you say that he came to the Imperial Capital from Bielsa City to ask for help?"
"It's not him!"
Under the influence of alcohol, Johnny couldn't stand others talking to him in a questioning tone.
"When I was young, I was a soldier in Bielsa City! Now whoever is here in Bielsa City, no matter how old he is, doesn't he have to come to my place to take a look!? Even if General Mulder is General Wells The adjutant must also take a look at this old guy like me!"
Seeing the two people, they were still shocked. Most of them didn¡¯t believe it, especially Johnny.
"Believe it or not! This is the tradition of our city of Bielsa. No matter where the veterans arrive, the recruits must visit them! What is Paoze? This is called Paoze! Besides"
Although Johnny had drunk too much, he still lowered his voice as much as possible and said mysteriously:
"General Mulder went to Claude's Marquis Mansion for help, and I was the one who led the way Moreover, if I hadn't secretly opened the city gate for him in the end, he might not have been able to escape Reykjavik"
After confirming that everything Old Qiao Ni said was true, naturally there was another chaos of inquiring and bragging, gossiping and drinking.
After everything calmed down, Old Hank, who had a tendency to drink more and more, took a big gulp of wine and spoke out what was in his heart while spitting out the alcohol.
"It's not that the Feng family contributed the most in this battle. Why - what is it called? Oh, by the way - the Thorn Flower Knights didn't come back together. Could it be that the royal private army who resisted Louis' invasion was a hero and a hero? Isn¡¯t it the Feng family!?¡±
Old Hank¡¯s words immediately silenced the busy table.
¡°I don¡¯t know if it was the effect of alcohol or something else, but old Johnny and Greer¡¯s eyes were red.
"Kuang"
Greer slammed the table.
"I get angry when I mention this. How good the Feng family was to us commoners back then. The capital for my serious business was lent to me by the Feng family. Three gold coins and six silver coins. No interest. It was agreed upon for one year. It's who should I give it to now"
Speaking of this, this majestic man in his forties actually lay on the table and cried loudly!
"Who says it's not"
Old Hank let out a long sigh.
"The capital of my food stall was also borrowed by the Feng family. During the most difficult time, if Lord Arman hadn't brought him with me every dayIf you come here and have a glass of wine, my old Hank will be out of Reykjavik already"
"It's not just good for the common people"
Johnny¡¯s eyes were red, staring blankly at the wine glass in his hand, as if talking in sleep.
"If Lord Arman hadn't personally written the order because I was a veteran of Bielsa City, who would have wanted me as an old and useless veteran"
The atmosphere on the table suddenly fell into stasis.
No one thought that three old drunkards with different experiences and identities would all receive favors from the Feng family, and this kind of favor could change their lives.
The relationship between the three people has become closer. In the eyes of mutual recognition and encouragement, we can see a lot of regrets, a lot of unwillingness, a lot of aggrieved
"Let's go insidehave a good drink today"
Old Hank wants to let Johnny and Greer into the house. The three old drunkards are going to have a good chat today.
But I didn¡¯t expect that the expressions of the three people would change drastically at the same time!
¡°Rumble¡¡±
The sound of horse hooves roars!
On a night under curfew in Reykjavik, in the silent streets, war horses roared towards us!
Groups of knights passed in front of the three old Hanks.
In shock, Old Hank only saw a pair of cold eyes and a flag that rolled in the wind.
Standing lion!
