CHAPTER XXI

He recalled that day at Teresa's door, Claude left a sentence: "Boy, this is not over!"

Oh, I can't imagine that the "famous" navigator and richest man in Atlanta, Claude, would be serious about a small character like himself, it seems that he is just a guy who got rich by luck.

Zheng Fei thought so, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and drank.

Seeing that he didn't care, Santiago wondered, "How did you even laugh?

"Because I'm going to take the woman he wants to take, and you keep drinking, I've got to go out and think about what to do. After speaking, Zheng Fei put down his wine glass, left Santiago and left the bar to return to the ship alone, standing on the deck with his arms on the side of the ship, quietly looking at the night sky in the distance, the Big Dipper was shining.

Sometimes, men need to think alone, and it would be better if there was a cigarette.

The next day, early in the morning.

He woke up the sleeping sailors early and told them to set up their guns and keep them on their guard, and if Claude did bring men, it would not be possible not to fear the best artillery in all of Europe.

Once this was arranged, he and Santiago went to the city, and Santiago went to "seek welfare" for the fleet, and he went straight to Teresa's house.

Behind the fence, the yellow roses, which lacked the care of their masters, wilted a lot, and even the weeds seemed to be less green, and he stepped on the gravel path to the door, knocking on the door and calling, "Teresa?"

There was no answer, and ten seconds later he called again, but there was still no answer, and he pushed the door to find that it was locked.

Maybe she'll be back in the afternoon? He pouted, ready to find a place to sit, where to go? The tailor's shop, the tailor's shop of little Columbus's house.

Throughout the leisurely afternoon, he taught the little guy a lot of sailing knowledge, and to be honest, he felt a sense of pride in his heart, after all, he was the enlightenment mentor of a world-renowned navigator!

In the evening, he returned to Teresa's door, and waited until night, when she still did not return.

Santiago had already found two prostitutes and brought them here to assemble, and when he saw that he looked worried, he asked, "What's the matter, buddy?

"Probably something happened, she won't break the contract. Zheng Fei bit his lip and looked up at the position of the moon, estimating that it was already ten o'clock in the middle of the night.

"You've only seen her once, why do you trust her so much?" Santiago was puzzled, thinking that he was fascinated by the woman.

"Because she believed in me, I believed in her. Zheng Fei replied lightly, and then got into the carriage, which was rented to take Teresa back to the dock.

"Man, where are you going?"

"I'm going to find her, you go back to the ship first, and the fleet will be handed over to you while I'm away!"

"Hey, aren't you afraid I'll take the ship away and sail?"

"If you had that ability, you would have run away!" Zheng Fei joked, taking advantage of the faint light of the moon to drive the carriage to the Pars vineyard.

Santiago watched his figure disappear into the night, put his arms around the waist of the beautiful woman beside him, and said, "I don't understand why he did this, just a woman." ”

Zheng Fei also asked himself this question in his heart, and his answer was--for a promise! Since he promised to take her away, he had to do it, if a man couldn't even fulfill his promise, what was the use of getting more?

Regardless of what other people think, that's what he thinks anyway, well.

The eighty-kilometer journey did not arrive until dawn, and he yawned heavily against the morning sun, taking a deep breath, the air in the countryside was fresh.

This is not his first time in the Italian countryside, the last time he was in Naples, and he tasted the most traditional pizza from the villagers, which was a bit unpalatable to be honest.

As far as the eye can see, there is an endless green meadow, which is divided into pieces by a trickling stream, and there are groves of groves on top of it, and the mountains in the distance, perhaps the Alps, can be seen in the distance.

In this scene, there is a sense of immediacy of the Wizard of Oz at a glance, and then at a glance, which is the Wizard of Oz, it is obviously a wonderland!

The Pars vineyard is the largest estate in the area, so he asked a random passer-by about the location, went to its gate, and got out of the car.

Seeing the castle-like buildings in the manor, covering an area of thousands of square meters, he couldn't help but wonder, how rich Teresa's family was before it fell?

There was no one guarding the door, so he pushed the door straight in, looking around to find someone to ask.

"Hey, are you here to buy grapes?" By the window on the top floor of the castle, a pretty face was revealed, which belonged to a blonde beauty, and the smile was very sweet.

"I'm looking for Teresa!" Zheng Fei looked at her, but she was fourteen or fifteen years old, and it would be a scourge if she was a few years older.

"Sister Teresa?" she laughed even more, and then made an unexpected gesture - she threw a piece of hemp rope from the window, slid it down with great skill, and landed peacefully to dust off the dirt from her skirt.

My genius is so skilled, Zheng Fei stared at her and smiled, "Why did you come down like this?"

She pouted and complained, "Don't be surprised, my mother always locked me in the house and wouldn't let me see Burke." ”

"Who's Burke?"

"Our neighbor, the son of the farmer's family. ”

This is probably the hierarchical discrimination in medieval Europe, Zheng Fei smiled knowingly, and then cut to the chase: "Can you take me to see Teresa?"

"Of course you can, but what's in it for me?" she blinked wide, looking at him expectantly.

"Ha~ I can give you this. He pulled a handful of candy out of his pocket.

Sadly, I bought candy twice, once for little Columbus and once for this little girl, and I didn't eat any of it.

She unceremoniously took one and ate one, nodded and pondered, "Are you going to chase Sister Teresa?"

"No, I've already caught up, she didn't go back as scheduled, I'm here to take her away. ”

Hearing this, the little girl was surprised: "You are that person?"

"She told you?"

"Well, I have good news and bad news for you, which one do you want to hear?"

"Bad news. "Zheng Fei is used to hearing bad news first.

"Yi~ I have blocked my words like this!" the little girl looked disgusted.

"That's good news. ”

"Haha, the good news is that Sister Teresa loves you very much and wants to go with you!"

"And what about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that Mom and Dad don't agree and want to marry her to a noble kid, I hate that guy and always like to pretend. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Fei patted his head gently, but he didn't expect the plot in the TV series to be encountered by himself, which is really interesting

In that case, will the old man go? I want to see how old-fashioned this declining aristocracy is.
