At dawn, before the restaurant closed, Bane didn't come back.
It was in the afternoon of the second day that Bain and Waitrick came to the restaurant at the same time.
Although it has been well treated, the bruises on Baine's face have not completely disappeared, especially the bruises on the corners of his mouth and eye sockets, which are extremely obvious.
Even if you put on a serious look, you can't be serious no matter what.
At least, Amy couldn't help laughing when she saw it.
"You won't have a boyfriend like this!"
Bain looked at Amy and said seriously.
"What qualifications does a single dog have to say about others?"
Amy pouted dismissively.
Immediately, Baine trembled as if he had been hit hard.
Facts are always irrefutable.
Didn't he want to be single
Isn't it that the girl he likes doesn't like him, and the girl who likes him doesn't like him
"I am single for freedom!"
"Right, Teddy?"
Bain turned his head to look at the silent Teddy, hoping that there would be a strong helper in his camp.
"I have a girlfriend."
After Teddy hesitated for a moment, he spoke the truth.
"What?!"
Not only Bain, but Amy, Waitrek and Kieran standing at the bar all looked at Teddy in surprise.
Everyone couldn't imagine that Teddy, who was busy with cases all day long and lived in the police station, would have a girlfriend.
"Is it weird?"
"Can't a policeman have a girlfriend?"
Everyone's weird eyes made Teddy yell in displeasure.
Especially Bain's gaze made Teddy want to punch him.
"Put away the filth in your heart!"
"Not watered, not inflated!"
"I never go to nightclubs, let alone a VIP card!"
After Teddy finished speaking to Bain, he strode towards Waitrek. He didn't speak immediately, but looked at Qin Ran. When Qin Ran made a gesture of please, he turned to Waitrek. Said: "Mr. Whitrick, what are the requirements to join the herdsmen?"
Facing Teddy's question, Waitrick smiled.
"For others, it may be difficult."
"But for you, no."
Whitrick said.
"Can I keep my police job?"
Teddy continued.
"It's not a conflict."
"In fact, more than a third of herders do not work full-time."
"Except for the persons in charge of each district, most of us are usually busy with our own business, and will stand up when needed."
Whitrick explained.
"Then can I become a herdsman now?"
Teddy asked happily.
"Of course not."
"You just joined us now."
"However, it's not considered a herdsman. It can only be the lowest level of 'Villites'. At least you need to have a veteran to guide you for 10-15 weeks."
"Then, you need to pass an exam before you can be considered a real herdsman."
"If you don't mind, I hope to be your guide and teach you about the mysterious side."
Waitrek looked at Teddy expectantly as he spoke.
Teddy's qualifications are beyond doubt.
At least it is the level of 'Ektis'.
After a little teaching, you can grow into a master on your own.
Of course, even so, Teddy didn't need Waitrek to teach him.
But after learning from Bain, Waitrek is really worried, he has already lost Li Jiajia, and if he loses another Teddy, Waitrek will be heartbroken to death.
Thinking of this, Waitrek couldn't help but glared at Baine.
Bain, who was shrinking in the corner, doubting his life suddenly trembled, his whole body was chilled.
What's wrong
do i have a cold
Alas, a cold is a cold.
Even if I have a cold, I have no one to take care of me.
Even Teddy has a girlfriend and I don't.
life is boring...
Bain retreated back to the corner while thinking.
Seeing this appearance, Waitrek's blood pressure rose for a while, and he really wanted to whip Bain again.
What happened to being single
I've been single for 55 years, have I talked to anyone
Waitrek snorted coldly in his heart, and withdrew his gaze.
He wasn't going to look at Bane any more.
It is really infuriating.
"Really?"
"That's great!"
Teddy breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really worried just now that Whitrick would say something like make Bane your guide.
He sincerely wanted to become a herdsman, but that didn't mean he would be willing to have Baine become his guide.
Although there is a proverb in the East that "the master leads the door and the practice is in the individual", Teddy knows how important a reliable master is.
And Bane
The words complete and reliable have nothing to do with each other.
Not only is he delicious and lazy, he is also greedy for money, loves to take advantage of small things, and chatters.
Such a person becomes a direct guide, and Teddy feels that life is gloomy when he thinks about it.
Fortunately not.
"Teacher, I'll wait for you at the door."
As Teddy said, he walked to the door of the restaurant on his own.
He knew that Waitrek and Kieran had important matters to discuss.
Waitrek looked at Teddy with satisfaction.
Teacher, it has a special meaning among herdsmen.
He didn't correct Teddy's title, though.
Maybe he really needs an heir
Waitrek, who was in a good mood, turned around.
"The herdsmen desperately need fresh blood."
Waitrek made such an exclamation, but Qin Ran didn't reply, he knew exactly why Waitrek made such a sigh.
The other party wanted him to join the herdsmen.
However, Qin Ran never thought about this matter.
His relationship with each other has always been simple: cooperation.
He does not intend to change such a relationship.
After all, the herdsman is not the old man in front of him who has the final say, and the other party is just a person in charge of the eastern district of Ai City.
And in the eastern district of Ai City, there are 11 people in charge like the other party, not to mention the entire Ai City, or the entire state!
There is no doubt that the Grazers are a massive force!
In this kind of great power, even if it claims to be very free, how much real freedom is there
You can guess with a little thought.
Very limited!
Qin Ran didn't want to be exhausted by order after order.
He prefers to take the initiative.
Seeing Qin Ran who didn't answer, Waitrek sighed helplessly, and took out a cloth bag from his pocket.
"This is our compensation."
Whitrick said so.
He really hoped that Qin Ran could join the herdsmen, but he would not force Qin Ran. He knew the character of the other party too well.
If you really want to force it, I am afraid that even the current friendly relationship will be gone.
"Um."
Qin Ran nodded and took the bag.
Silver crossing coins, 10 pieces.
Pour it out and put it in the money bag that was given by the previous one.
At this moment, Qin Ran has a total of 20 silver coins. However, Qin Ran does not plan to use them in this way. He hopes to save them and exchange them for gold coins before using them.
Waitrek waited for Qin Ran to finish all this before continuing to speak.
"This 'Winter Night War' has changed a lot, and all parties have responded."
"The four districts of Ai City are discussing whether to form a team."
"It should be a similar situation in other regions."
"besides… "
Speaking of this, Waitrek lowered his voice, and said in a voice that only Qin Ran and he could hear: "It is said that the winner of this time will not only get 100 gold crosses which is 5 times the amount of gold crosses in previous years." In addition to the money, you can also get a fragment of the 'Sage's Stone'!"
Shards of the Philosopher's Stone? !
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.
He didn't wipe the [Sage's Stone (Fragment)] in his arms, but vigilance and suspicion surged in his heart.
As soon as a piece of [Sage's Stone (Fragment)] appeared in the northern district of Ai City, the reward items of the 'Winter Night Battle' became pieces of the Philosopher's Stone.
Is it such a coincidence
"What else? Be more specific."
Qin Ran asked calmly.
"In addition to winning the Philosopher's Stone fragments for the final victory, it is rumored that there are various rewards for this 'Winter Night Battle'."
"Not issued after the end of the 'Winter Night War', but placed in the 'Winter Night War'!"
Whitrick continued.
"Putting it in the 'Winter Night War'?"
Suspicions welled up in Qin Ran's heart.
Post-battle settlement and battle acquisition are two completely different concepts.
The simplest thing is, if you get a good item in the battle, many people or weirdos are very likely to give up this 'Winter Night Battle' and hang on until the end of the 'Winter Night Battle'.
Seven days is really nothing to them.
Of course, it is very likely that they will be attacked by groups.
Every man is innocent and conceives his crime!
"This 'Winter Night Battle' is much more interesting than expected."
Qin Ran said so.
"That's not what worries me the most."
"What worries me the most is that this time 'Winter Night' isn't picking a place from before, it's a whole new place."
"That is to say, no one knows where it will be."
"Previous experience is completely useless. We want to help you, but we can't."
Waitrek couldn't help but wryly smiled.
"You don't know."
"Anyone else, or might Weird know?"
Qin Ran asked.
"impossible!"
"The man who hosts 'Winter's Night' knows everything, but he won't reveal it."
"His impartiality and fairness are known to all the world."
Whitrick said with certainty.
Qin Ran didn't say much.
Without personal experience, he would never make any inferences, and would only maintain due vigilance.
"So, when are we going to leave?"
"Is it far from Ai City?"
Qin Ran asked.
"This may be the only good news."
"It's not far from Ai City, about a three-hour drive."
"So, let's set off a day earlier."
"In the past two days, Luo Yan, you adjust your status, and we will ensure that you will not be disturbed in any way."
Whitreck promised.
"good."
Qin Ran nodded.
Afterwards, after a brief conversation between the two, Waitrek got up and said goodbye.
The old herdsman walked to the corner and picked up Bain and walked out. Teddy, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted Kieran and followed.
After the herdsmen left, the kitchen curtain was turned over, and Mimosa came out.
"elder brother."
Mimosa stretched out her hand, tugged at Qin Ran's sleeve, and pointed in the direction of the kitchen.
Qin Ran immediately winked at the elite 'Vicious Dog' knowingly, and walked into the kitchen.
"dangerous!"
"That voice told me that this 'Winter Night' is dangerous!"
As soon as Qin Ran walked into the kitchen, Li Jiajia, who was wearing an apron, said hastily.
"Specifically?"
Qin Ran asked.
"Blood, death."
"Flame, destruction."
"The voice kept telling me this, but when I wanted to ask for details, the voice became silent."
Li Jiajia answered truthfully.
Of course she didn't want anything to happen to Qin Ran.
It wasn't that she cared much about Qin Ran, it was just because Qin Ran was her master's elder brother.
If something unexpected happened to Qin Ran, her master would definitely be sad.
When a person is sad, it is easy to lose all hope.
Once she really loses all hope, her fledgling career as a chef will be ruined!
"Have you asked where that voice is safe?"
Qin Ran asked after pondering for a while.
"I asked!"
"It's safest to stay away from 'Winter Night'!"
"The farther away the better!"
Li Jiajia nodded immediately.
"is that so?"
Qin Ran whispered to himself.
"Are you ready to give up on 'Winter Night'?"
Li Jiajia looked at Qin Ran expectantly.
"No!"
"I'm looking forward to it even more!"
Qin Ran said with a smile, his gaze was on Mimosa, Mimosa who was also smiling at the corner of his mouth obviously guessed what Qin Ran was thinking and was not surprised at all.
Instead, there was support in his eyes.
In other words, as long as it was something Qin Ran wanted to do, Mimosa would support it.
It would be dangerous to do that though.
But what is not dangerous
People who are afraid of danger will not live long in a huge city.
Fearless, there is a chance of survival!
If you retreat once, there will be a second time, and a third time. When you have no way to retreat, you will find that you have already entered a desperate situation.
This is the case with the previous mimosa.
The only good news is that Mimosa met Qin Ran.
Mimosa herself knew very well that it was Kieran's actions that allowed her to continue to live.
otherwise…
Wronged souls in a huge city can't even howl.
Therefore, even though Mimosa was still timid, she chose to face it.
Not wanting to be in a desperate situation again is Mimosa's truest thought.
certainly!
It was also because Qin Ran standing beside her was a person who made Mimosa feel at ease and gave constant encouragement.
"Master, you must persuade your brother, he..."
"Go."
"I'll wait here for your return."
Mimosa smiled and interrupted Li Jiajia's words by waving her hands, turned her head and looked directly at Qin Ran with her beautiful eyes, and made a solemn promise.
Qin Ran raised his hand and touched Mimosa's forehead.
"rest assured."
"I'll be fully prepared."
After speaking, Qin Ran walked out of the kitchen.
When the kitchen curtains were lowered, Mimosa turned around with a reddish face, thinking while preparing today's food.
"Seven days, I don't know what the environment is like, the food will easily spoil."
"Beef jerky should handle most situations."
"Dehydrated vegetables are fine too."
"But it's not fresh enough."
"Canned food is not nutritious."
"What should I do?"
…
Li Jiajia stood aside and looked at the mimosa who was thinking and preparing today's food, her eyes couldn't help but glisten.
Because, even in a state of trance, her teacher didn't make any mistakes.
The knife skills still dazzled her.
The seasoning is still making her salivate.
Even, that little white flower appeared again.
However, Li Jiajia has long been used to it.
Here, nothing strange happened to her.
Not to mention Xiaobaihua, even if she turns into a piranha, her face will not change.
Li Jiajia stared at every step of Mimosa cooking with wide eyes.
But in the depths of the southern villa area, Songshi couldn't help but drop the plate.
"Unpalatable!"
"It's unpalatable!"
"Is this pot water?"
"Dogs won't eat it!"
Song Shi roared angrily, and then, without even thinking about it, he prepared to change his clothes and head to the 'Leaf Restaurant'.
"Miss, wait a minute, in order to prepare for the 'Winter Night Battle', the herders in the Eastern District have stated that please do not disturb Luo Yan for the last two days..."
"Who cares about that refrigerator?"
"I'm looking for Luo Ye!"
Song Shi emphasized.
"That's not okay, Luo Ye is also in the restaurant, not to mention Luo Ye is Luo Yan's younger brother, so you..."
"What's wrong?!"
"Luo Ye is Luo Yan's younger brother, but Luo Ye is still my future husband-in-law!"
"I went to see my future husband-in-law, what does it have to do with those guys?"
Songshi interrupted Fangyi's words, picked up his coat and ran out, while running, Songshi turned his head and shouted at Fangyi who was stunned.
"Tell them it's a chore!"
"Let them mind their own business!"
