Chapter 64: The combination of the toad and the girl
"Quack. ”
At this time, the duke was not enjoying it, and was lying lazily on the counter, with a ha dripping from the corner of his mouth from time to time, and the little girl Longyi was kneading it, but the technique looked a little strange, and people who did not know it would think that it was animal cruelty.
"Quack, quack. ”
Roque looked at this picture dumbfounded, his mind went blank for an instant, and he clearly felt that the Duke was in a very good mood at this time.
"Isn't she at Martha's house, how can she be here?"
When he came to the tavern before, Roque was so preoccupied with praying for the girl that he completely ignored Longyi's existence, and now when he saw such a picture, he was puzzled.
"Lord Roque. ”
At this time, Barbara walked over slowly, with a look of hesitation on her face.
"Is there something wrong? Barbara. ”
Roque had some time to spare, he asked, slightly curious.
"Master, Lang Yi wants to stay in the manor, she has no home, and her relatives are all dead, blame the poor, can the master keep her?"
After getting along for a while, Barbara felt that this little girl was very good, well-behaved and obedient, but it was more that the other party's experience made her sympathetic.
"It's the first time I've seen someone who can get along with the Duke like this, so tell Barbara, come over for a moment. As he said this, Roque's gaze returned to the counter.
"Yes, sir. ”
Barbara's face instantly became happy, and she knew that Roque would probably not refuse.
"Quack. ”
"Big toad, the master is calling me, I have to go first. ”
Leaving a word, Longy nervously came to Roque and knelt directly on the ground.
"Hello sir. ”
"What's your name. ”
"Longyi, sir, my name is Longyi. ”
"I remember, get up, don't be nervous, sit down, I have something to ask you. ”
Barbara on the side patted Lang Yidi on the shoulder and encouraged: "Don't worry, little baby, Master Roque is a good person, you stay here first, I have to go to work." ”
After Barbara left, Longe sat down nervously, she didn't dare to look at Roque at all, and kept her head down.
Roque looked at her for a moment, then took the initiative to ask, "Longey, can you tell me what you just did at the counter?"
Hearing the other party's inquiry, Longyi's face changed, and his whole body trembled.
"Master, I was wrong, spare me this time, I won't dare again. As he spoke, Longyi hurriedly stood up, and was about to kneel down again.
"Sit down! You didn't do anything wrong. Roque shouted sternly.
This sentence was really effective, and Longyi honestly sat back in her seat, but her heart could no longer be calm, and she secretly swore that she would never do such rude things in the future.
"Alright, Ronnie can tell me now, what were you doing at the counter?" Roque softened his tone and repeated the question.
"Sir, I, I sensed that the big toad was angry, so I walked over without any assertions, sir, I didn't mean to offend your pet. Longy's voice was thin and trembling as he replied.
"So, you were appeasing that big toad just now?" After listening to Longyi's words, Roque understood and felt shocked in his heart, and couldn't wait to ask.
"Yes, yes, sir. Longy's hands clenched tightly and nodded stiffly.
"Rangie tell me, have you done anything like this before?" Roque was a little agitated, he had to make sure again.
"Yes, sir, yes, I used to take care of the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep raised at home, they like me very much and are willing to listen to me. As Longe said this, he gave Roque a cautious look.
"Longy, are you sure what you say is true?"
"Yes, sir, I really didn't lie, my father, my mother, my brother, and the people in the village can prove it to me, but they are all dead. Longy's voice was close to a stalk, hoarse.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't save them, Rangie, would you like to stay at the manor?" Roque made a formal invitation.
A person who can feel the emotions of animals and appease them, such a person deserves to be taken seriously by Roque, and as for how much he can get in return, he will not care for the time being.
"Sir, I am willing, I am willing to stay in the manor. Longi snorted and nodded desperately.
"Welcome to the Black Thorn Manor, Longy, you can start your new life again, let those sad things pass, I am sure that your loved ones will always bless you from heaven. ”
Roque was comforted, he could see that Longe had stepped out of the shadow in his heart, and he had to admire the other party, he had a strong heart at such a young age.
Maybe it has something to do with her talent, Roque thinks.
"Thank you, sir, I'm fine, my parents, and my brother have always lived with me. Rangyi's eyes were shining with tears, but a smile appeared on her face, and she reached out and pressed it lightly on her chest, silently blessing.
The girl who prayed was found, and the little girl who was accidentally saved had a strong talent, which made Roque have to think that he was not the son of Lady Luck, otherwise his luck would not have been so good.
"Roque, this little girl is good, I want it. ”
Hearing the duke's words, Roque smiled, this mercenary goods, he had long been used to it.
"Yes. ”
"Mm-hmm, that's pretty much it, it's not in vain that I'm helping you like this. The Duke said with satisfaction.
Ignoring the other party, Roque whispered something to Longy, all about the big toad.
"Yes, yes, sir, I see. Longy's chick nodded like a peck of rice.
"Remember, how did you raise chickens, ducks and geese before, just do it like that, just let this big toad obediently listen to you. Roque finally gave a serious admonition.
Things in the tavern can be over for the time being, Roark has to leave first so that he can cooperate with Mirel in his plan, and the others have to continue to fight for coffee, so no one goes with him, not even the duke.
After spending some time in the kitchen to appease Hera and Dancy, the struggling sisters, Roque left the tavern and sat back in the carriage, with Murdain still working as a coachman.
Before leaving Miral, Roque went to Doggs's house and didn't see him, and after chatting with Martha for a while, he learned something big.
Randolph is finally about to do it, and the idle days of the hooligans are over, and I am afraid that they will have to keep an eye on the civilians every day, and if anyone dares to resist or fail to pay their taxes, they should go and talk to each other.
"What kind of surprise can the combination of a toad and a girl bring me? Roque, who was sitting in the carriage, returned his mind to Longy and the Duke, and his face smiled involuntarily.
