Why said, Roy gawked, he should not think that I...... reveal an ugly expression that immediately ate fly, „I am not buys the herbal medicine...... I call Roy, just came shortly after Aldersberg, wants to look for a work, heard that the rural fair is short of manpower very much, asks.” 痔疮和肛瘘？为什么这么说,罗伊愣了一下,他该不是以为我……顿时露出一副吃了苍蝇似的难看表情,“我不是来买草药的……我叫罗伊,刚来艾德斯伯格不久,想找份工作,听说集市这边很缺人,就过来问问。” „This...... Roy,” merchant nods, both hands link chest, the carefully examined vision took a look at him again, „you look insufficiently strong, first removes most physical strengths to live. Will you keep a promise? learn to read? Also has other what merit and strong point, said that looks.” “这样啊……罗伊,”商人点点头,双手环胸,审视的目光重新将他打量了一遍,“你看起来不够强壮,先排除掉大部分体力活。你会算数吗？识字吗？还有什么别的优点和长处,说说看。” „Arithmetic does not have the issue, but I will not use in common the writing,” the Roy vision swept on the merchant shelf, dozens herbal medicine Observation a cleanness, the corners of the mouth revealed to smile faintly, „in addition, I am very familiar with the herbal medicine, for example I know, your excellency shelf last year longest herbal medicine is in the mandara roots of that midpoint checks, five years. The mandara root, and gasping and coughing curative effect is very good to the rheumatism and malignant ulcer.” “算术没问题,但我不会通用文字,”罗伊目光在商人货架上扫了一遍,把几十种草药都观测了个干净,嘴角露出一丝浅笑,“此外,我对草药很熟悉,比如我知道,阁下的货架上年份最久的草药是那根正中央格子里、五年份的曼陀罗根。曼陀罗根对风湿、恶疮、和喘咳疗效很好。” Merchant hears word looks the surprise, he has not thought that this young youngster eyesight is so at present poisonous, exactly right that said. „You take a look again carefully, what herbal medicine is this?” The merchants are pointing at left the mandara root in the check, brown, the root tuber of cone. 商人闻言面露诧异,他没想到眼前这个年纪不大的少年眼力这么毒,说的分毫不差。“你再仔细瞧瞧,这是什么草药？”商人指着曼陀罗根左边格子里,一个土黄色的、圆锥形的块根。 „This is monkshood,” Roy blinks to the shop owner, „probably three years, mainly treat......, have the effect on the sexual impotence.” “这是乌头,”罗伊冲店主眨了眨眼睛,“大概有三年份,主治……嗯,对阳痿有奇效。” The merchant non- one breath asked herbal medicines on his more than ten types of shelf, Roy all gives answers readily, 商人不一口气问了他十几种货架上的草药,罗伊全都对答如流, „Can the flower of this beggar-tick also recognize? The little brother really experiences uncommonly, „ shop owner puts out a hand toward him approvingly, „ Roy is right? Called my Tross on the line. I in rural fair operation grass medicine shop more than ten years, no matter oneself am the shop reputation am good, must consider that helps me work? Listens to your voice obviously is not the Aldersberg person, is not so easy getting along with except for me and other stalls the peddlers.” “这株鬼针草的花也能认出来？小兄弟果然见识不凡,“店主赞叹地朝他伸出了手,“罗伊对吧？叫我特罗斯就行。我在集市经营草药铺十几年,不管本人还是店铺都口碑良好,要不要考虑帮我做事？听你的口音明显不是艾德斯伯格的人,除了我、其他摊位的贩子不那么好相处。” „It can be said that is more concrete?” The Roy heart relaxes, asked calmly, „for example work content and pay......” “能说具体些吗？”罗伊心头松了口气,冷静地问,“比如工作内容和薪资……” „ Little brother, I this year was 43 years old, to operate this shop, but must daily early morning 45 o'clock crawl to get out of bed, is blowing the cold wind inventory and setting up a stall that freezes to death the person, this day suffer the person, perhaps will unable to endure 50 -year-old I dead a violent death. I want to look for partner to help me go against this time, most good of familiar herbal medicine learned arithmetic, memory also well. „ “小兄弟,我今年已经四十三岁,为了经营这个铺子,还得每天凌晨四五点钟爬起床,吹着冻死人的冷风进货、摆摊,这种日子太折磨人,说不定熬不到五十岁我就会暴毙。我想找个伙计帮我把这个时间段顶过去,熟悉草药学会算术的最好,记性也得不错。“ „Mainly defends from 4 : 00 am to eight points, when I relay. If no problems, weekly salary 5 Crown 50 copper coin.” “主要是从每天早晨四点守到八点,等我来替班。要是不出问题,周薪五克朗50铜币。” Every day before 4 : 00 , gets out of bed is not difficult to Roy. After Meditation replaces the sleep thoroughly, he every night only need rest for five hours. But weekly salary 5.5 Crown, one month 22 Crown, but also the house rent outside insufficient city. 每天四点前起床对罗伊而言不难。用冥想彻底代替睡眠之后,他每晚只需休息五个小时。但周薪5.5克朗,一个月才22克朗,还不够城外的房租。 „Uncle Tross cannot, because I am young, is people from other place deceives me......” the Roy pursed lip, „weekly salary 10 Crown...... I can begin now.” “特罗斯大叔不能因为我年纪小,是个外地人就糊弄我……”罗伊抿了抿嘴唇,“周薪十克朗……我现在就可以开工。” „Little brother, you cannot everywhere initial price. Like my 13 or 14-year-old that little while, work oneself to death one month could not make so many.” Tross eyes shrank a seam, an tone road for grain shipment, „such how? The weekly salary to 7 Crown, wraps your food again, in nearby barbecue booth. I can guarantee, other place cannot give a better treatment.” “小兄弟,你不能漫天开价。像我十三四岁那会儿,累死累活一个月也挣不了这么多。”特罗斯眼睛缩成了一条缝,语气一转道,“这么着如何？周薪给到七克朗,再包你一顿饭,就在旁边的烤肉摊儿。我敢保证,别的地方给不出更好的待遇。” Roy is staring at the eyes of merchant, crossed long time, when the opposite party soon loses the patience, nods, „Uncle Tross, today how then starts to calculate the day? Told that me how should do specifically? What quotation now is the herbal medicine?” 罗伊盯着商人的眼睛,过了良久,在对方快要失去耐心时,点了点头,“特罗斯大叔,那么今天就开始计算日子如何？跟我说说具体该怎么做?现在草药都是什么行情？” ...... …… Roy consumed a morning in the herbal medicine booth, ascertains the price of each type of herbal medicine. 罗伊在草药摊上耗了一个上午,问清楚每种草药的价格。 The herbal medicine price fluctuates frequently, therefore Tross latest information record on the shelf kraft paper, will refer to and remembers for him every morning.

Several days later the operation stability, he will find a place to take advanced courses. 更重要的是有了立脚之处,就算不依靠猎魔人的救济,也能在这座大城市活下去。过几天工作稳定下来,他就去找个地方进修。 ...... …… Trod the setting sun afterglow, Roy was returning to the flavor front surface of water mill, soil outside, green grass and falling gently leaf city throws, whole person finally from the stink of poultry excrement slow vigor, corners of the mouth slightly curved, the mood became joyful. 踏着夕阳的余晖,罗伊返回了城外的水磨坊、泥土、青草和飘落树叶的味道迎面扑来,整个人终于从家禽粪便的臭味中缓过了劲儿,嘴角微弯,心情变得愉悦。 From the mill 100 outside, Roy stops the footsteps late suddenly, is sizing up the distant place curiously. 距离磨坊一百迟外,罗伊突然停下脚步,好奇地打量着远处。 Outside that worn-out wooden warehouse, is piling the place of hay and fuel gathers round one group of boy and girl, their face upper-class reveal with unkind that the age does not tally, to the encirclement ring, sits pours directs in the petite form of place, satire non-stop. 那间破旧的木仓库外,堆着干草和柴火的地方围着一群男孩和女孩,他们脸上流露出与年纪不相符的刻薄,冲着包围圈中,坐倒在地的一道娇小身影指指点点,讽刺个不停。 „Your disfigured, is long somersault camel...... does not hide in the house to hide honestly, but also dares to run to run back and forth in confusion, sees you, is really an appetite does not have, but how also to eat meal?!” “你个丑八怪,长得跟头骆驼似的……不老老实实躲房子藏好,还敢跑出来乱晃,看到你,真是一点胃口都没有,还怎么吃饭？！” The thin and tall stature, on the face the crowded freckle boy, is not stopping using the index finger to poke that person of hair steadily, the mouth is spitting the virulent words, 瘦瘦高高的个儿,脸上长着密集雀斑的男孩,不停用食指戳着那人的头发,嘴里吐着恶毒的话语, „Snort!

Should ask Witcher to come her to process...... Mutant to cope with freak.” “她是个老妖婆,一种怪胎,书里面就是这么说的,她每天都在诅咒别人,释放邪恶的巫术。应该找猎魔人来把她处理掉……变种人才能对付怪胎。” „Wū wū......” middle that person sobbed suddenly. “呜呜……”中间的那人突然抽噎了一下。 „Disfigured and freak, but also has a face to cry...... to think that we are bullying you!” The freckle boy slapped a palm toward her back of the head on fiercely, „our is the action of justice, like revolutionary army, but she, is Baron that side scoundrel! Hits her!” “丑八怪、怪胎,还有脸哭……觉得我们在欺负你！”雀斑男孩猛地往她后脑勺上抽了一巴掌,“我们这是正义之举,就像革命军,而她,是属于男爵那边的坏种！打她！” Some children entrain her hair, some beat her back, some people pound with the branch strong drive, with the pebble and mud. 有的孩子拽她的头发,有的拳打脚踢她的后背,也有人用树枝猛抽、用石子和泥巴砸。 „Hey! Do one group of young bastards, do? Has not stopped to me!” “喂！一群小混蛋,干啥呢？还不给我住手！” Does not transmit one to yell suddenly, the doing evil child had a scare by the sound, then looks, has not managed to see clearly, cannot choose the exact way because of flurry four run away. Suddenly, is only left over that to hold in the arms the girl of knee with both hands stubbornly. 不远突然传来一阵大叫,正在作恶的小孩被声音吓了一跳,回头一望,也没管看没看清,慌不择路地四下逃窜。眨眼间,只剩下那个用双手死死搂住膝盖的女孩儿。 On she neat clean white apron stains the footprint and mud, under the brown hair, the reveal on outside neck can see that the one after another blue and purple and silt swell. 她整洁干净的白色围裙上沾满脚印和泥巴,棕色的头发下,露在外面的脖子上能看到一块块青紫和淤肿。 „Your name were, right, the daughter of mill main family. How feels, did that group of young bastards injure to you?” Roy arrives around squatting down body, puts out a hand toward her. “你叫托娅,对吧,磨坊主家的女儿。感觉怎么样,那群小混蛋伤到你了吗？”罗伊走到旁边蹲下身体,朝她伸出了手。 The humpbacked girl has turned away toward him looked at one, the look is timid and vigilant. 驼背女孩只是转过脸朝他看了一眼,眼神怯懦而警惕。 On her fair and clear small face had/left two red close to to be in charge, seemed toward a fine oil painting, poured two barrels of dirty paint. The palm holding down ground that girl two cover entirely the frostbite and callus, haunches that silently by the huge humpbacked pressure the rickets, the skin and bones body, enters the warehouse and closing lamely. 她白净小脸上多出了两道通红的巴掌印,就好似往一副精致的油画里,泼上了两桶肮脏的油漆。女孩儿两只布满冻疮和老茧的手掌按住地面,默不作声地撑起那被巨大的驼背压得佝偻的、瘦骨嶙峋的身体,一瘸一拐地进仓库、关门。 Roy is unable to imagine the opposite party to cross is what day, will show such expression......, but he thought that should do anything for the opposite party, therefore takes out the pot marigold that processed from the space, was good to put out of the door with the cloth wrapper, „, I kept an herbal medicine outside to you, later chewed wiped on wound the line...... to believe me, the effect was very good.” 罗伊无法想象对方过得都是什么日子,才会露出那样的表情……但他觉得该为对方做点什么,于是从空间取出了处理好的金盏花,用布包好放到了门外,“托娅,我在外面给你留了点草药,待会嚼碎了抹伤口上就行……相信我,效果很好的。” ...... …… Late before the table, the Roy tone raised this matter to the mill Lord couple angrily , 晚餐桌前,罗伊语气愤慨地向磨坊主夫妻提起了这桩事情,, „I saw that one crowd of smelly Boy are bullying, 56 surround her, pulls her hair, pulls out her with the stick, is swollen her face fan, no matter you also manages?” “我看到有一群臭小鬼在欺负托娅,五六个围住她一个人,拉扯她的头发,用棍子抽她,把她脸都扇肿了,你们也不管管吗？” „Aiya, the little brother, you do not know, his scalp coarse meat is thick, hits several superficial, but can also make her work honestly.” Mana gnaws the greasy fat, on the face of too fat to move is showing a comfortab expression. “哎呀,小兄弟,你是不知道,那丫头皮糙肉厚的,打几下不痛不痒,还能让她老老实实地干活。”玛娜啃着油腻的肥肉,臃肿的脸上露出一副习以为常的表情。 Roy attracted an cold air/Qi, without a doubt, this fat woman definitely is a stepmother. 罗伊吸了口冷气,毫无疑问,这胖妇人肯定是个后妈。 „I understand that you are the good intention.” Hank also backed up in the one side, „, but my ordinary family, cannot, when Princess same did protect? This way of the world, without means. By this deputy chief, which to will not wag the tongue, idle talk? Many was selected the setback and suffering and many are selected crime to go on living. Several years crossed, the girl now is very strong.” “我明白你是好心。”亨克也在一旁帮腔道,“但咱家就普普通通家庭,总不能把托娅当公主一样保护起来？这个世道,没办法的。以她这副长相,到哪儿不会被嚼舌头,闲言碎语？多受点挫折和委屈、多遭点罪过托娅才能活下去。十几年都过了,那丫头现在很坚强。” A point suffering with setback? 一点委屈和挫折？ Roy was understood, this to the person of table dinner not Gentot, without regarded the daughter her from the start, probably was one, no matter what dozen Ren Ma free labor force? 罗伊算是明白了,这对连晚饭都不让托娅上桌的人,压根没把她当成女儿,大概就是一个任打任骂的免费劳动力？ „Does not raise that girl. The little brother, you treat for quite a while in the city today, found the work?” Mana asked curiously, to this issue, the ratio is interested. “不提那个丫头。小兄弟,你今天在城里面待了大半天,找到工作了吗？”玛娜好奇地问,对这个问题,比对托娅更感兴趣。 „Found......” “找到了……” In two couple eyes had the happy expression, the operation stability, that this boy had money to continue the room to rent...... 两夫妻眼中均有喜色,工作稳定了,那这小子就有钱继续把房间租下去…… After the dinner, Roy looked at one to the warehouse out especially, has not seen that pot marigold, when he relaxes, returns to the room, in the bucket before broadminded discovery gate were many freshly, cleans the clean apple, under is fronting the blue cloth of that package herbal medicine. 晚饭后,罗伊特地到仓库门外看了一眼,没见到那份金盏花,他松了口气,返回房间时,却豁然发现门前的水桶上多了一个新鲜的、擦拭得干干净净的苹果,底下垫着那张包裹草药的蓝布。 „Is this returns a courtesy?” “这算是回礼吗？” He as if found one type with the method that the girl exchanges. 他似乎找到了一种和女孩儿交流的方法。
