Chapter 250: The Little Girl of a Fallen Noble Family
His thoughts were confused, and the cold wind blew the fallen leaves past his ears, bringing a chill that made him wake up from that thought. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He looked at the prince.
"Where's the thing?"
"This, I have to wait for the lord of the manor to come back to know, I entrusted the token to him. ā
Zheng Fei didn't ask any more, he didn't think that the prince still had the ability to set a trap for himself, even if it was a trap, a small town army like Pars, with the strength of the fleet, was enough to overthrow it.
Respectfully led by the manor guards, the group came to the castle.
The guard gently pushed open the half-hidden castle gate, stood by the door and bent slightly, he raised his foot and was about to enter, but he couldn't help but stop, paused for a moment, and looked back at the small scene of the withered manor.
Something came to mind.
"Santiago Hans, take the guys in and sit down, I'll take a walk outside for a while. ā
Thoughtfully, he strolled to the left side of the castle, where there was a window upstairs.
It was a room with a view, and if you were to put your arms on the window edge in the spring, you would see a sea of flowers all over the mountains, and a flower farmer who made a living from growing flowers, and Pars was rich in violets.
After thinking about it for a while, he picked up a lump of dirt and smashed it at the window, and with a snap, the originally dusty window instantly became dirty.
"Hey!"
A brutal and angry female voice sounded, but in a few seconds, the window slammed open, revealing a small head with two braids, eccentric.
She is Teresa's sister, and Zheng Fei told her stories.
The little girl recognized him, grinned in surprise, and then, as she had met for the first time, threw the rope out of the window, and slid down it, with a movement so swift that she did not look like a girl at all.
"You, you, why haven't you come back until now?"
The little girl pouted in a questioning tone.
Looking at her clear and translucent eyes, Zheng Fei couldn't help but show a sincere smile.
He liked the little girl, of course, not that way.
At some point, he felt that he should have a daughter, hold her in the warm palm of his hand, and let her be the happiest little princess.
He sat down leisurely on the bench and crossed Erlang's legs.
"I told you a story last time, but this time it's you, tell me how your sister got married. ā
"You know everything?"
The little girl sat down sadly, took out two sweets, and looked pitiful as if to comfort him.
"Do you want to eat it, it's sweet. ā
Seeing her expectant look, Zheng Fei smiled happily.
"Okay. ā
This is the first time he has eaten sugar since he came into this world.
The little girl smiled, and stuffed a candy in her mouth, which was delicious.
Then, the story begins.
"Our family, though in decline, still retains the old aristocracy, and they forced my sister to marry the wealthiest man in Pars in exchange for a larger vineyard. ā
The sister reminded them not to forget the two-year appointment with you, and they said very pitifully: Don't dream, that poor boy can't come back with 100,000 silver coins in two years. ā
Speaking of this, the little girl chewed the sugar in her mouth and swallowed it, turned her head to look at his side face, and her innocent eyes bloomed with a strange brilliance.
"But now that you've been back for only half a year, what are you going to do?"
"I remember being on the edge of a cliff and I said I'd flatten Pals Manor, which is kind of ridiculous when I think about it now. He really laughed.
"Hmm, I found that there are a lot of guards here, can't you deal with it?"
"No, I suddenly feel disdainful to do it. ā
He rubbed the lid of the flask open with his thumb, took a sip, and looked up at the blue sky that is rarely seen in winter, and the rows of pigeons fluttering their wings into the distance.
Little girl, do you know what the man sitting in front of you has experienced in half a year?
In the Mediterranean, he commanded a naval battle, killed sperm whales, and obtained a batch of treasures.
In Lisbon, the westernmost part of the European continent, he was arrested and imprisoned, and planned a vigorous escape, leading thousands of his subordinates to fight against the Royal Knight Legion and rush out of Lisbon!
In the Azores, he wiped out the elite units of the Royal Portuguese Navy.
......
With such a legendary career, how could he take those dozens of manor guards in his eyes, and how could he be disdainful of being angry with them?
Zheng Fei put his elbows on his thighs and held his cheeks thoughtfully.
The little girl coughed twice and shook her hand in front of his eyes, drawing attention.
Like an old child, she sighed.
"Actually, I would like you to punish my so-called father, uncle, and brothers, and preferably catch them in a tower without stairs, so that they will never get out. ā
"What does this mean?" Zheng Fei couldn't help but be speechless for her strange thoughts.
"I've been locked up in this castle since I was born, they didn't allow me to come down to meet people, they didn't let me communicate with people, and the last time Jack brought me grilled fish to eat, I was caught outside the fence and broke my leg alive. ā
The little girl clenched her fists, pursed her lips tightly, and expressed her long-suppressed heart.
"I hate them!"
I hate them, this is her real impression of her loved ones.
"In their minds, only men are considered children, and as for girls, they are at best just a bargaining chip for money after they are raised, and now my sister has been taken to change, and in a few years, I will too. ā
The meaning of sadness but helplessness opened more and more from her eyes, in the withered manor, in the field of people's hearts.
The feudal aristocracy of the Middle Ages, especially the declining aristocracy, in order to regain the original wealth and glory, girls carry an invisible halo from the moment they are born, which is called profit.
They are like a group of prisoners, who are glamorous on the surface and have no worries about food and clothing, but in fact, they are drawn as prisons wherever they go.
Involuntarily, Zheng Fei touched her head.
"Take it easy, your suffering will be over. He laughs.
"Huh?" she pouted, not knowing why.
"You'll know by night, now go back to the house and stay well, I don't want to tell a story today, haha. ā
"I said, Sister Teresa is married, you are not sad or angry?"
Ponder for a moment.
"No, I just feel a little lost. ā
He got up from the bench and stretched out comfortably.
Then he took a notebook from his bosom and handed it to her.
"If you're really bored, just check this out, you'll love it. ā
It was his nautical diary, which recorded half a year's adventure, and it was said that men were born to be adventurous, and in fact, many girls were too.
It is human nature to be curious about new things.
The little girl took her notebook, stuck out her tongue, and trotted into the castle gates, and the housekeeper on the watchtower saw her, smiled wryly and shook his head.
"It's really pitiful, locked in the house all day, climbing the window to get out, and being beaten at night when the master finds the door open. ā
Zheng Fei walked around the manor for a few minutes, then entered the castle to meet the guys and discuss the next arrangements.
Evening, coming. (To be continued.) )
