C3 Sir Do You Want to Buy Salted Fish

Solomon brought the caravan down from the mountain and slowly walked towards the west on the desolate sand.

He looked around and pretended to be concerned. He turned around and called out to them from time to time, checking the color of the names of the people behind him.

Most of the people's names did not change after that. The green ones were still green, the yellow ones were still yellow. The only change was Joab, who was standing beside Adonijah.

Solomon clearly saw Joab's name change from light green to bright red a few minutes ago. He immediately had an idea.

"Now Adonijah can tell him what happened."

He nodded his head in satisfaction.

He could tell that Joab and Adonijah were on the same side.

That was why he suddenly changed the topic when those people were trying to argue with him.

Although he had lied to Joab just now, Adonijah would tell him the truth sooner or later. And to Solomon, who could see through other people's hostility towards him, it would be better for them to discuss in secret.

For example, if Adonijah told Joab the truth in front of him just now, if that boor got angry and came over, he would definitely beat Solomon up badly.

That would be f * cking stupid.

Solomon had already asked Benaiah, the servant who looked like a potato, indirectly. Joab was King David's nephew, his brother in terms of seniority, and also the current general of Israel. Although the way he called it was different, it was enough to roughly understand it.

In short, Joab was the highest military officer in Israel. Moreover, in this era, 80% of those who could become marshal had good martial arts skills.

As a young child of King David, Adonijah had prestige. In addition, King David trusted General Joab, and Adonijah wanted Solomon to find a priest, "Abiah."

It could be said that Adonijah had almost controlled the entire upper echelons of the Israel's military and administrative world.

The reason he asked Adonijah to take off his clothes and make a soft stretcher was to see if he could make Adonijah's injuries worsen on the way. The only thing he wanted to do was to bring him back to the city, and let Adonijah, who was lying on the stretcher half-naked and weak, walk around the city.

If that was the case, people's impression of Adonijah as a "brave warrior" and "good at fighting would be somewhat diluted." And when the distance between them was shortened, the fear would be reduced a little.

"Hmm?"

Solomon, who was thinking about where to break out of this situation, looked at a horse carriage that had turned from the other side of the mountain range and was slightly startled.

There was someone?

An old man sitting on the side of the carriage was slightly shocked when he saw Solomon and the others in luxurious clothes. He then drove the sheep over enthusiastically.

"Master! Do you need help?"

The old man with messy hair and a fishy smell shouted at Solomon.

Solomon originally did not want to talk to him, but he thought about it...

This might be a chance.

So Solomon waved at him and asked loudly, "Are you a doctor?"

"Me? I am not a doctor, my lord. "

The old man grinned and said, "But my daughter is a doctor. She cured many people in the village. "

" Oh?"

Solomon's eyes lit up when he heard that.

He shouted behind him, "Stop! There's a doctor here!"

Hearing this, the people behind him stopped one after another.

The two people carrying the stretcher subconsciously stopped. Adonijah, who was on the simple stretcher, instantly turned pale. He let out a soft moan in pain, and his body could not help but tremble.

However, he did not cry out in pain. His pride and the current situation did not allow him to do so.

Anyway, it was only a light injury. It would not be any big deal.

Adonijah thought.

He took a deep breath and said to the people who were carrying him, "You guys carry me to the front... and Joab, you can come with me."

"Okay."

Joab nodded. He took the stretcher from the person in front of him and ran with Adonijah.

As the two of them were running, Adonijah's body was shaking violently on the soft stretcher. Adonijah's face turned pale.

So, so painful...

Did these two brutes have sh * t in their brains? And that damn Solomon...

Solomon glanced at Adonijah, whose name seemed to have turned a little red again, and solemnly announced to the two of them, "I am Solomon, King David's son. The one who was injured was also King David's son."

Solomon rode on his horse and asked the old man, "Who are you? Where are you going?"

When the old man heard this, he was also shocked. A hesitant and terrified expression immediately appeared on his face.

So he immediately got out of the car, bowed randomly, and said in a low and stuttering voice, "My name is Nome. My daughter's name is Abigail. She will go with me to Jerusalem to sell salted fish. We sell salted fish. "

"Hello, Nome."

Their names matched... and there was no fake name. Moreover, it was light green. It should be an honest person who did not have any hostility.

Solomon made a judgment.

He nodded gently at the old man. "Your daughter knows about herbs?"

"Uh... She doesn't know about herbs. But she did cure a lot of people in the village... "

Nome lowered his head in fear. His voice was a little weaker." It will be cured soon. She only needs to touch for a while to be cured. "

"I believe it. I believe you, Nome."

Solomon smiled and said in a gentle and clear voice, "Please accept your daughter as well. Do you need help? "

"Thank you, thank you. But no need to trouble me, Your Highness Solomon. No need... "

Nome became nervous. His tongue was going to knot again.

He turned around and helped the delicate and pretty girl off the other side of the car. The two of them bowed to Solomon together.

The girl called Abigail had long, dark brown curly hair, and her skin was the kind of unhealthy paleness that rarely received light.

From the ID on top of her head, it could be seen that she was only sixteen years old, and her face was generally delicate and pretty.

But the most eye-catching thing about Abigail was her crystal clear pupils - this was not the exaggerated praise of a poet. It was indeed, really like an organic brown crystal eyeball.

It looked like a doll. Although that eye looked very beautiful, Solomon always felt that the more he looked at it, the stranger it became.

The eyeball looked like it was not human.

Is this child a blind girl?

Solomon lowered his head and looked at her curiously.

He keenly noticed that after Abigail got off the car, her head did not move left and right. Even after she and her father bowed to him, they did not look at anyone.

Noticing that Solomon's gaze had been fixed on Abigail's eyes for a long time, her father, Nome, somewhat panicked.

"Greetings to His Highness Solomon, Abigail."

"Hello. Master."

Abigail greeted Solomon in a soft voice.

Solomon smiled and replied gently, "Hello. Please cure him, my brother, Adonijah. I will reward you. "

" No, no, no, no need. Treating King David's son is a reward for us! "

Nome shook his hand and bowed to Solomon. He kept looking at Abigail, who was beside him. He looked at Solomon with a begging look.

Fortunately, the others did not notice Nome's panic because Solomon was standing in front of them on his horse.

... "No, I said I would give you a reward, so I will definitely give you a reward."

He paused and repeated calmly.

His words seemed to have some kind of infectious power. It was clearly just an empty promise, but it made Nome's mood slowly calm down.

"Then, do you know where there is a place suitable for treating injuries, Nome?"

Solomon asked.

Nome replied with a stutter, "This is the place..."

"No. I think we still need a quiet and clean place."

Solomon interrupted him. : "You don't want your daughter's treatment method to be learned by others, do you, Nome? If everyone knows it, how will your daughter make a living in the future?"

"... " You are a generous and wise man!"

Nome understood Solomon's hint and bowed deeply to him.
