Chapter 7: Did "He" Wake Up Again?

"Cowardly fellow, I warn you, don't go to that hunter's cabin again!"

Peake looked at the notebook at the bedside suspiciously, and the few words seemed to penetrate the paper, and you can imagine how emotional the person who left this warning was at that time.

Don't go to that hunter's cabin again?

What's going on?

Peake looked around, a simple table and chairs, a simple plank bed, and a simple iron stove, and there was nothing but that, and he confirmed once again that this was indeed his home, the home he had lived in for nearly twenty years.

What's going on, how did I get back home, shouldn't I be working at the hunter's?

Peake's dark blue eyes were misty, and he touched his forehead, which was a little hot, and seemed to show signs of fever.

It hurt, he put down his notebook and looked at his left hand, which was wrapped in a thick bandage, and blood seeped out of the bandage and coagulated into a dark purple.

How did I get hurt?

A sense of detachment from reality came over him, and he closed his eyes tightly, trying to remember what had happened.

Snake! Yes, it was a golden python that bit his hand!

And then what happened!

In his mind, he slowly recalled a picture of himself raising an arrow, but he didn't stab it ruthlessly, and then ......

"Pique, Pique, you get out of here!"

Several loud knocks on the door accompanied by shouts interrupted Pique's memories, and Pique could tell that it was the voice of his good friend Ryder.

Ryder was a playmate he had known since childhood, a friend he had known for more than a decade and the only friend he had in the town of Peace.

At this point, Pique's only friend shouted angrily outside the door: "Peek, you come out for me! You must give me an explanation!"

Bang!

Under Ryder's vigorous destruction, the gate valve burst and the sunlight poured in.

Peake's house was small, and Ryder rushed in angrily, rushed in front of Peake in two steps, grabbed Peake by the collar with both hands, and pulled him out of bed.

"Tell me, you stupid boy, why?"

Pique often went up the mountain to chop wood, was very strong, and was not short in height.

But Ryder is two heads taller than Pique, and he's strong enough to fit two Pique.

At this moment, Ryder's two large hands like bear paws clutched Pique's collar. Caught so hard by this, Pique almost fainted.

"Don't play stupid on me!tell me why!" a big face grew, followed by a roar like a bear king, and he only felt his scalp be shaken away. "For the community?"

"Calm down, Ryder, my head hurts right now, and I don't know what's going on?"

"You're still playing stupid with me!

Ryder tugged at Pique's collar and pulled Pique up like a giant carrying a chicken.

Ryder snorted, rushed out of the house in a few steps, and ran out into the yard with Pique.

The yard was large, with a variety of timber in the corners, and it was clear that the owner of the yard was a carpenter.

Pique's house was in the corner of the yard, only one-tenth the size of the yard, and it was a simple wooden house, as if it had been built improvised.

A donkey was gnawing grass in the yard, the summer grass was particularly delicious, and it contained plenty of moisture, just as it squinted its eyes to enjoy, it felt a strong wind blowing over its head, it looked up suspiciously, and found that there was nothing abnormal, so it continued to bury its head and gnaw.

Peake was dragged into the courtyard by Ryder a few steps, and then rushed into another room.

The room was much better than Pique's, with a full roof of bookcases, a wide selection of books, elaborate tables and chairs, and a variety of tea sets on sandalwood-painted tables.

Passing through the bookcase and the table and chairs, there is a staircase leading to the second floor, and above the staircase there is a room, which is a second floor attic.

Soon, Ryder rushed to the attic above with Peake.

The attic was filled with the smell of tobacco, and in the center of the mahogany bed lay an elderly man in his late teens.

The gray beard and withered yellow hair showed his weakness, and at this time one of his eyes showed a purple blue, his mouth grinned, and he kept wailing: "It hurts, it hurts~ It hurts me!"

"Didn't the town doctor put medicine on you? Why are you hurting again?"

"You iron, do you think it's the priest's holy water?

"I'm sorry grandfather! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Ryder got up from the bed apologetically, and when he turned his head, he was already in tears, and this bear-like man actually cried when he said he cried.

"Woo woo hate, hateful Peake! look at what you hurt your grandfather!"

"......" Peake looked at the old man on the bed in astonishment, and said to himself blankly: "I...... Am I hurt?"

"It's you!" the old man hissed as if he had seen the enemy, and his voice was like that of a tanuki whose tail had been stepped on: "It's you!"

The old man shouted two sentences and couldn't help but cry in pain, he murmured and complained: "It really hurts me to death, I have raised you for so many years, I really raised a thing without conscience, if your father were alive, I would have to break your leg when I saw you like this! When I adopted your father, you didn't know where it was, I adopted your father for more than 20 years, and I helped your father adopt you for more than 10 years, you hateful thing, you actually repay me like this, are you a demon? Usually so honest, it turns out that it is all pretended! You see that I'm old, I'm a bully, I'm not alive, I'm not alive!"

As if he had been greatly wronged, the old man continued to scold angrily: "Quick, get out of here! I don't want to see you again, get out of here!"

This bitter complaint made Peake stunned, yes, what the old man said was true, he was adopted, and his father was also adopted, which means that this old man is the adoptive father of his adoptive father, so to speak, his adoptive grandfather...... Of course, this name is strange, Peake has always been called grandfather with Ryder, but his status is still incomparable with Ryder's own grandson, his status in this family is almost no different from a servant, Peake works for his adoptive grandfather every day, goes up the mountain to chop wood, goes down the mountain to make furniture, and then goes out to sell, in exchange for all the proceeds are handed over to his grandfather. Of course, Pique has no complaints in his heart. On the contrary, he cherishes that he has a good brother Ryder who has been playing for more than ten years, and a grandfather who can support him.

Looking at his grandfather's injuries, after a brief period of distraction, Peake seemed to understand something.

He walked over to the bed, and then knelt down on his knees.

"Grandfather, I'm sorry! Peake said with remorse and apologies as he slapped himself hard with his right hand.

Soon, the right side of Pique's face was swollen, and he slapped the corner of his mouth.

Peake slapped himself twice in grief, "Grandfather, forgive me! I will never again! I will go to the church to find a pastor and buy you holy water!"

For a while, the old man lay quietly on the bed, stopped wailing, he looked at the blood torn from the corner of Pique's mouth, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, this is almost the same as Piqué last night! He remembered that Pique kicked open the gate of the courtyard, rushed out and cursed twice, and he was punched several times, and then he fell unconscious.

It's only the next day, so come to kneel down and slap your face to apologize?

The old man began to suspect that it was not Pique who beat him yesterday.

Indeed, although Pique is a little stupid, he has always worked hard, much more diligent than his adoptive father, and there is a craft of making furniture to go out to earn money, and the old man has always been more satisfied with Pique.

"Ryder, I'm sorry, damn me, you can beat me, just like you did when you were a child, beat me up!"

Ryder wiped the tears on his face, and choked up: "When I was a child, you could still withstand a few punches from me, I am so strong now, I can beat you to death with one punch, you have already beaten yourself, I won't beat you!"

Peake was even more apologetic, and he knelt in front of the old man's bed for a long time and was reluctant to get up, until the old man said weakly on the bed: "You just said to buy me the holy water of the church pastor, are you telling the truth?"

Peake swollen half of his face, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said firmly: "I will be grandfather! I will! I will buy it for you now! With the holy water of the church, your injuries will soon be healed!"

After Pique finished speaking, he wanted to get up and go out to buy holy water for his grandfather, but he didn't notice that after kneeling for almost half an hour, his knees had become as stiff as the floor.

Peake's body shook, a sharp soreness came from his knees, his eyes were black and he almost fainted, he stood up with the pain in his body, and he walked out with heavy steps.

Walking out of the house, seeing the black donkey still gnawing grass on the ground, Peake muttered helplessly: "Big Blackfeet, I don't have any money now, if the money is not enough, I can only sell you......"

When the black donkey heard this, he immediately stopped the weeding operation.

Sold yourself?

"Ah~oh~ah~oh~ah~oh!" a few angry donkey barks responded to Pique.

As Pique passed by, it seemed to raise its hind hooves in a hurry.

Peake went back into the house and dug through all the money in his cupboard.

One copper coin, two copper coins...... Five, six...... Nope.

Have six copper coins yourself?

The Church Priest needs at least 3 Credits to sell Holy Water!

Three silver coins are converted into thirty copper coins. No, he obviously saved more than 20 copper coins, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to promise his grandfather to buy holy water.

I remembered that I had been experimenting with wooden carts a few days ago, and it cost more than 20 copper coins to buy materials.

What can I do?

"I know, that's not you, Peake. ”

A voice suddenly came in from outside the room, it was Ryder.

The tall Ryder walked in with his head bowed, dodging the low doorframe.

The sad anger on Ryder's face had vanished, replaced by a worried look.

He looked at Peake and said in a muffled voice, "Is he awake again?"
