4. The first encounter
Neil sat at the dining table and bit a chicken leg, and after the food in his mouth was swallowed, Neil looked over and asked strangely, "Uncle, who sent you a letter, pick such a time?"
Baker immediately opened the letter and quickly read the contents of the letter, and after reading it, Baker couldn't help but be stunned, and didn't notice Neil's problem. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Uncle!"
"Uncle!!!Did you hear me?"
Baker subconsciously smiled, and a ray of joy flashed in his eyes, and after he reacted, he felt puzzled and puzzled.
"Uncle!!"
Neil rolled his eyes, Baker ignored his words, he was about to bang the table with the bowl.
"I heard, you eat this meal yourself, I'm going out for a while, stay here honestly until I come back, don't mess around, I'll tell you what's going on when I come back." Baker hurriedly instructed Neil and then went upstairs to his room to get a coat, and put it on before he came downstairs, after all, it was still very cold outside.
Baker walked to the door and opened the door and went out, Baker's anxious look left Neil scratching his head.
Neil stuck out his tongue, "Cut, rush like that, and tell me not to leave until he returns?" I must follow, I won't be found before he returns." ”
Neil bit down on the remaining half of a chicken leg and grabbed one with his right hand, following Baker after he left.
When Neil came out into the street, his eyes widened in bewilderment, and as soon as he came out, he saw Baker find a carriage to sit in.
"Oh no! I didn't expect my uncle to come by in a carriage. ”
“……”
"It's also best to choose a carriage at a time like this. ”
After Neil finished gnawing the chicken legs, his hands were very greasy, "Good oil......" He touched his pocket and took out the money inside, "No, it's only two copper coins? Uncle is so stingy, I put so little pocket money in my clothes!"
"I have to go back...... Neil turned around in frustration and went home.
Neil returned home, ate the leftovers, cleaned up the table, and took all the utensils to the kitchen to wash.
There was a basin of clean water on the kitchen floor, and Neil used it to clean the things he had brought in.
"It's so cold!" Neil wiped his hands dry, putting his hands to his mouth and exhaling hot air, trying to warm his cold hands.
Neil walked out to the hall that had been decorated as a drugstore, and he was bored, so he simply tested his memory, and recognized the various goods on the shelves in the hall, which made Baker happy, and took the opportunity to ask for a little more pocket money.
With this idea in mind, Neil came back and looked at it in front of each shelf.
"Am I exaggerating myself? These two herbs are very similar in appearance, what are they called? It is too easy to confuse those with similar appearances!" Originally, Neil was very confident, and there were some of them that he was not good at dealing with, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.
"The herb encyclopedia in the uncle's room is so thick, it's too troublesome to find it page by page!"
"Uncle can memorize the entire book that is so troublesome, and he can even tell what herbs are on which page with his eyes closed, this is not something ordinary people can do......"
Neil sighed heavily, thinking about what he was going to do next, when the door to the hall opened from the outside.
The boy walked over and complained to Baker, "Why did Uncle come back so late?" I have nothing to do and read all the herbs on the shelves, several of them are too similar for me to recognize. ”
Baker walked over to Neil and rubbed Neil's head, "That's good, no wasted time, I'll teach you when I'm free." ”
"Come back?"
Baker didn't answer, and turned sideways slightly, allowing Neil to see that there was another person behind Baker.
"It's you!" Neil cried out in surprise, leaving the other man confused.
"Huh?"
The girl standing next to Baker in front of her was dressed in an aristocratic dress, a blue dress, short blue hair, and even blue eyes.
This morning, Neil and his neighbor's Travis made an appointment to go out together, and at half past ten, they met a few other friends on the street, and they discussed where to play. After discussion, everyone decided to go to a flower field on the flat land near the mountain behind the harbor, and on the way over, everyone saw a gorgeous aristocratic carriage and couldn't help but stop.
"Neil, that carriage is so beautiful, it must be a carriage owned by the nobles that the adults once mentioned, right?"
"I envy that the nobles are so rich that even the appearance of the carriage is decorated with precious stones. ”
"Everyone, I have an idea. Neil said to the others, "Let's wait for the carriage to stop, wait for the people inside to come out, and go in and have a look!"
"That's not good, nobles......"
"You're so timid, you're like a rabbit!
"Hey, don't say that about me, I'm just cautious, cautious. You've heard the complaints of the adults, the nobles are always on top and look down on the commoners, and if we are found out, we will be angry, and he will definitely arrest us!"
"So you're cowardly, Neil's proposal is good, as long as we act quietly!"
"Do you approve of it too?"
"What a rare opportunity!"
"I haven't seen a noble carriage on the street for a few years. ”
"I don't know what it's going to be like inside, it's beautiful and comfortable!"
Everyone was talking about it, Neil touched his nose and couldn't help but smile, every time he came up with an idea, everyone would always adopt it at the first time, just like a leader, Neil's mood would be inexplicably better.
Everyone was talking about it with great interest, and Neil continued to stare at the carriage, only to see the curtain of the carriage open, and Neil saw a blue-haired girl.
Neil thought about one thing and muttered in his heart, "That girl has blue hair and blue eyes, it should be the Water Tribe, the Water Tribesmen will disappear for a while when they come to the land, it's so strange, why do the Water Tribesmen sit in the noble carriage?"
Travis, who was walking in front, didn't hear Neil's voice, Travis turned his head and found that Neil was a few meters behind, so he urged, "Neil, why don't you leave?"
"Ah, come on!"
Then they ran, chasing the carriage, and the man was not as fast as the horse, and after a while he could not find it, and then everyone discussed and went their separate ways, including Neil and Travis, who were the real natives of the deep seaport, not the aquarists from the sea. Moreover, they are extremely familiar with the whole harbor, unlike the aquarists, who have come to live on land and are not very comfortable walking on two feet.
Aqua is a very unique race, Aqua live in the sea and can freely shuttle in the sea, unlike the Terrans who will be subject to some restrictions after entering the water. For a long time, the Aquatic Race and the Terrans on land did not interact with each other, and in recent decades, the Rodi Pava Empire has achieved formal diplomacy with the Aquatic Tribe.
The empire chose the Shenge Harbor and sent several nobles to the Shenge Harbor to take the initiative to reach friendly relations with the Water Tribe, after all, this place is close to the sea.
However, some nobles were not very optimistic about this matter, and in the eyes of those nobles, the water tribe was a fishy and smelly race, even if the water tribe came from the vast and magnificent deep blue ocean.
Incidentally, Baker's friend Kuy was one of the ones who was sent to the deep grid.
After that, it took some time to find the carriage, and it stopped in a noble mansion, and several children looked at the wall of the noble mansion, and the matter of climbing over the wall could not be done for this group of children, but fortunately there were a few trees nearby, and they discussed climbing into the tree, and climbed to the tree to find a good place to jump over.
Everyone managed to get in, and found the carriage at the first time, and knew what was going on inside the nobleman's carriage as they wished.
When we returned, we could not use the old method, so we discussed and decided to leave through the gate, where there were several trees to cover up. Everyone quietly approached the guard uncle from behind the tree, and sent Travis, who was the best at running, to rush over to scare the guard uncle, and while the guard was defenseless for a while, they directly opened the gate from the inside, and waited for Travis to run over and go out from the door together.
Everyone was able to get out smoothly, really thanks to Travis, and another partner, that partner's father was a locksmith, and he had all kinds of research on the gate, and since he was a child, that partner stared at it for a short time to know whether the iron door was locked or not.
Here I will say that there are two kinds of iron doors commonly used by nobles, one is that the position of the lock is very hidden, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find, and the second is that the door can only be opened from the person who stays inside, and cannot be opened from the outside.
In short, they came out smoothly, and when they ran out, they could still hear the roar of the guard uncle.
Presumably, the uncle will report this to the nobleman who is the master, but in any case, it has nothing to do with them.
After they came out, they were in high spirits, and according to the original agreement, they went to see the flower field, which had a kind of flower that could be eaten directly, and the nectar was also very sweet.
At lunchtime, Neil didn't dare to tell Baker about what he had done in the morning, otherwise Baker would have been verbose for a long time, and he might have been angry.
Seeing the blue-haired girl again at this time, Neil couldn't help but be surprised.
Baker turned to the girl and said, "Let me introduce you, this is my adopted son, his name is Neil, Neil Van Timothy. ”
"Neil, this is my friend's daughter, her name is Charlie Aget, and she will be staying here for some time now. ”
"Huh?" Neil reacted in surprise, Baker frowned slightly, and said to Charlie, "You wait here, I have something to say to my adopted son." ”
"She's an aquarry?"
"No, Terran, it's a hybrid of Terran and Shui Clan, you have to take good care of her, because she is not in good health, and she usually gets out of breath when she says a few words, and she is born with a disease. ”
"Is it that serious?"
"It's that serious. ”
"I'm a doctor, I'll take good care of her situation, anyway, I'm asked for the time being. ”
"Uncle, the friend you are talking about is the one who sent you the letter? I always feel a little strange, the letter was received at noon, and I saw her at half past ten. ”
"It's not surprising that the letter was sent from another country, and it happened that they came back here early. ”
"Oh, that's right. ”
"Leave complicated things to me, an adult, smart is smart, sometimes don't think too much. ”
"I didn't think much of it!"
