Kidnapping All Mankind
Chapter 64: Send sheep
Baron Acford, 17 degrees northwest of Acre Village, 35 kilometers, Floran Village.
The sun's rays gradually faded. During the summer campaign, the muddy roads frequently trampled by humans and animals became more muddy, and it became more difficult to find hard ground.
Compared to the vast majority of rough and muddy mud legs in the village, the grandparents are burdocks, Alves / Antoine, and his son Dean / Antoine are a bit more educated, and it is not as good as the residence of the master After a few steps, I stopped and stood squarely where the lower class should stand, without setting foot on the land that should not be settled.
Because of this, Baird / Balun, the master of the Florentine village, just after eating a hearty dinner with two bowls of slush and three eggs, which the villagers could not imagine, there was no exception. There was no dark beer, and he stood up kindly.
"master."
"master."
The master steward appeared at the door, and Alves and his son Dean took off the hood and saluted deeply.
"Well, get up ..." Frowning at the mud-stained wooden shoes of the grandfather and son, the steward slowly walked to the side of the road: "Yalves, wait a long time ... as soon as the messenger enters the village, you will find Come here. Staring so tightly, why are you afraid that the sheep you brought over a few days ago gave away? "
"No, no, how dare ... who in the village does not know that the master never lied to him ..." Alves raised his head, and the flattery that he tried to squeeze out on his face was so sincere.
As Alves talked, he pulled the rope vigorously, and the two goats were strangled to protest immediately. "I just want to send the other two beasts earlier too. Master, you know, there are more days. One day, the two beasts would eat another day of forage. "
"Hahaha ..." The manager laughed, "Okay, Alves, you sly scumbag, don't have to be so careful about guessing what I'm talking about! I've been talking to the farmer about your business Master said! Master already knows! Your son ... "
Speaking of which, Lord Baird / Ballon looked down at the granddad's eldest son in the Floran village: "Your son, little Dion! When the brightest star in the sky disappears tomorrow, lucky little Dion You can go to the village of Akeli. "
"Ah ..." This time, the surprise smile on Alves' face was no longer in disguise. He quickly patted his son's back with a rough palm: "Thank you very much! Hurry ... Thank you, Master. ! "
"Well, it's okay ..." He waved his hand to stop the burdock and burdock's sons from stooping to thank him, and Baird sighed suddenly, pointing at the two goats held by Alves: "The two Go back, goat. "
"Ah ... how can this be! This ... this is the gratitude of our family! Master you must accept it!"
"Hey, don't think so good! I didn't say I didn't!"
Baird sighed again: "... alas, Alves, a sly Alves, alas Alves, this time you are really fooled!"
"Know how many people have helped the burdock helpers in the village of Akeli this time. How many people have found a farmer? Thirteen villages! Thirteen villages! Well, I know you do n’t know how to count, so I will tell you Thirteen villages, meaning all the villages of Lord Akford, all the villages, and each village, want their burdock to go to Los / Moore to help them! "
"Ah ..." Jarvis opened his eyes wide and frowned.
"What's your two sheep?" Bairds pouted. "To help the workers ... um, in fact, to get the skills of cattle control, Dalcy Village doesn't know where to get three pots of honey, Bazaire Village. Even willing to produce a cow!
"Ah ..." Alves' eyes narrowed even more.
"Fortunately, Master Balles ... Well, it is fair that Master Farming is fair, knowing that I usually do not lie, and knowing that your house is really good at caring for animals, little Dean is lucky! This time, let your family Go, but ... "
Baird also pointed to two goats: "Master Farm Officer is fair, that is the kindness of the master! We can't just pretend to know nothing about these two goats! You must take them back first ... wait for the autumn tax, then Take it to the farmer ’s home ... well ... and the two goats that I have left, and we ’ll keep them with you first, so you do n’t have to remember my forage all day long! "
"what……"
"Well ... Alves, you don't seem happy ..."
"No, no, I'm happy! I'm willing! Like the big sun at noon! Lord, rest assured, you and the farmer's goat, I must be fed every day!"
"Well ... Alves, do it well, you do it with care, so I said to the master of the farmer ... well, Dean, you also do it well. When you come to the village of Akeli, you have to listen to Los / Moore's words, Florentine Village is counting on you ... "
"Yes ... yes, thank you, Master, you must listen to Master's orders." Alves hurriedly bowed and thanked his son.
"Well ... so be it." Baird waved his hand, kindly letting the inferiors in front of him do his work.
"Thank you, Master." Holding his son and holding the goat, Alves bent down deeply again, and walked away to put on the hood again with his son.
————————
The sun fell behind the mountain, the thick night covered the earth, and the tall and spacious house of the master also fell far behind.
"Master's two goats, Master of Agriculture's two goats, and two goats that have been delivered a few days ago. There are so few livestock in the family, and there will be much less cheese this winter." As he crossed the stream, Little Dean suddenly said so.
"Um." Father nodded and responded vaguely.
"The summer battle is still a few days away, and the autumn work is also very heavy. If I leave, the work will be even harder." As he walked past the old Cole's place, Little Dion spoke again.
"Um." Father nodded and responded vaguely.
"The wasteland on the mountain hasn't even been leveled yet, and the ditch in front of the house is also very deep. Father, you still have a lot of work left for me ..." When he passed the thorny thorns near the carpenter's house, Xiaodi En has a new question.
"Um." Father nodded and responded vaguely.
"Do you really want to do this?" His house was already dimly visible, and time was tight. Dean gave up his plan to knock on the side: "Father, I don't understand ... why should I go to Aikeli Village? Is it good? With so little wheat saved at home, I can get it back in the summer ... "
This time, my father didn't even answer "um".
Silently, I walked for a long time, walked through the long ridges of my homeland, and stood at the fork in the home. The father suddenly said, "This is the second time I send sheep to the supervisor ..."
"Huh?" Dean had never heard of it.
"When I first delivered the sheep ..." The father stopped and looked up and down his son: "I am about the same age as you."
"For the first time?" Dean looked at his father doubtfully. "Father has delivered sheep before? Why did they deliver them?"
"Why ..." Father sighed deeply, instead of answering his son's question directly, but pointed to a wooden house not far away: "Did you see that wooden house? Do you know who it is?"
"Of course I know." The village is only so big, and every family in the village knows Dean.
What's more, the position the father is pointing at right now is Dine's relatives: "This is my uncle's house, what happened to your father?"
"Yeah ... it's your uncle's house ..." Father patted the big tree next to him, and suddenly his left hand grabbed quickly into the air. When he opened it again after a while, a tail suddenly turned on and off. The fireflies twirled in his palm.
"When I was younger and your uncle was younger, at this time of summer evening, we would come here and catch a lot of these bugs and put them in a small straw cage until the mother shouted I go home many times. "
Dean smiled involuntarily.
As the son of the Niu Dai family, Dean and Dean's brother are the very few children in the village who can have "play" time as a child. The situation described by his father at the moment is exactly what Dean and his brother once enjoyed game.
The father said, "How happy at that time, I always wanted to keep playing ... I always felt that good days would go on like this, day by day until ... until-Dean, your uncle's house is like this now, you said he had Is it alright? "
"Uh ... compared to other free people, can you still live?"
"Yeah, it's affordable! It's OK, even better than other freelancers!" The smile on Alves' face was bitter: "How many people can't get enough of all the wheat planted, and you Uncle ... and two other uncles' homes, they can make room for peas and cabbages, and occasionally make pumpkin leaves ... "
Speaking of which, Alves pointed to his wooden house, "What about us? Look at our family. After the tax payment of the master every year, we can always keep a few geese. When we are lucky, we can even leave a sheep. Not to mention wheat, you and your brother have never been hungry ... Do you know why this is so? "
"... Because your father is a burdock ..."
"Your uncle will raise cattle, so will your other uncles. Why am I a burdock? They are not?"
"This ..." The son never thought about the question carefully, or in other words, never got the answer from his father.
"Because, father ... the night my father suddenly fell into the water and died, when your uncles were crying, arguing, and fighting for agricultural tools, my eldest son, who was the earliest separation, Immediately took all the animals in the family-three sheep, two geese, and a few chickens-all to the steward ...
... that was the first time I gave livestock to the steward, and then ... then I became a burdock. "
