Chapter 23: The Story of Soros (I)

early morning

Soros, as usual, got up and put on his uniform while the others were still asleep, opened the drawer on the table next to the bed in the bedroom, took out a bag of bulging cowhide bags from the drawer, and then opened the bedroom door and walked out.

Soros came to the training ground next to the castle, walked to the bench next to him, untied the cowhide bag in his hand with a cold face, put it on the bench, and then turned around and walked into the stable, he still has a lot to do today, such as now he needs to go to the South End of London to buy food for the entire castle for the next week.

After Soros turned to leave the training ground, more than a dozen pigeons suddenly fluttered their wings from the sky and landed on the bench, they crowded and buried their heads in the cowhide pockets, perhaps because their movements were too big, the cowhide bags fell under the benches, and the pockets fell to the ground, spilling out a lot of white bread that had been carefully broken into small pieces, the pigeons huddled together and flapped their wings and flew under the benches to eat, and the white bread on the ground even attracted several other pigeons in the sky, they also flapped their wings and flew to grab food.

Soros drove his carriage to the South London Trade Market, where he parked it at the Hippodrome outside the market. He expressionlessly handed the reins to the horse boy who stepped forward, and at the same time took out two pennies from his bosom and put them on the carriage: "One of the pennies is yours, and the storage time may not be enough, not enough for me to come back and make up for it later." ”

Ma Tong held the reins in surprise and bowed slightly to Soros: "Thank you, generous gentleman!"

Soros didn't reply, just nodded stiffly, and turned to walk towards the market.

Soros passed by an alley before walking into the market, and there was a faint cry of "meow~" at the entrance of the alley

Soros glanced at the alley and walked over to himself, ignoring it.

The market was crowded with people and noisy. The market is divided into a vegetable area, a fish, poultry and egg area, and a commodity area. Soros followed the crowd into the vegetable market. I saw that the vegetables and fruits inside were fresh and rich, and they were dazzling. The vegetable stall has green vegetables, white and green radish, bright celery, ruddy tomatoes, green cucumbers, and all kinds of agricultural and sideline products. At the stalls, people can choose their favorite fresh vegetables.

Soros walked into a hut with a shopping list in hand that said wholesale grain.

Soros walked into the hut and handed the shopping list to the man standing at the counter, who took the list and looked at it carefully: "Hmm... You have so many items on your list that it's hard to find them at one of the market's food stores. ”

The man blinked as he spoke, "However, you're lucky! We happen to be able to get together the things on your manifest here!

Soros looked at the man expressionlessly, didn't say a word, just nodded stiffly, and the man picked his cheek in embarrassment: "It seems that there is a shy customer in our store, let me do the math...... Ha, it takes a total of 4 shillings and 1 penny, I think you can just give me 4 shillings, as the first customer of our store today, this is a benefit for you in the store!"

Soros took out the money bag from his arms, took out four shillings and put them on the counter, looking at the plate of small dried fish on the counter, he raised his head and looked at the man: "Can you give me a few small dried fish......

The man was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, took out a cowhide bag from under the counter, then reached out and picked up the plate containing the small dried fish, poured all the dried fish into the cowhide bag, and handed it to Soros: "Of course no problem, I just fried this thing myself as a snack." Is your carriage parked at the racecourse? We provide personnel to move the goods free of charge, of course, only to your carriage, if you have to unload the goods you need to pay separately. ”

Soros nodded, handed the small sign that the horse boy had given him earlier, and the man recorded the code on the sign, and then handed the sign to Soros: "Okay, then our staff will move the goods to your carriage, you can now choose to continue browsing the market, or go back to your carriage first." ”

Soros said softly: "Thank you." Then he turned and left the grocery store.

Soros passed by the alleyway again, and the same cat meow came from the alleyway, but it seemed to be fine.

Soros walked into the alley with a blank face, looking at a brown and white kitten in the corner of the alley, it was covered with injuries, lying weakly in the dark corner of the alley, and the mouth was weak and weakly made a slight sound: "Meow~".

Soros gently picked up the kitten, the kitten seemed to be frightened, the sharp claws in the paw pad sinked into Soros's arm, but Soros didn't even frown, he didn't care about the blood slowly oozing from his arm, he lifted the kitten up, carefully observing the kitten's wound.

Soros put his face on the ground and gently put the kitten on the ground: "It's all flesh wounds, it should just be hungry......" After speaking, Soros poured the small dried fish in the cowhide pocket on the ground in front of the kitten, and then silently turned around and left the alley.

evening

Soros sat at a round table in the castle's huge dining room eating dinner, listening to the argument between the fried Meghan and Arnold, who was silently eating his own dinner, not participating in the pointless argument.

"I don't need your trickster to teach me! you should study your so-called magic in the castle towers, not at the table you call Muggles!"

Soros looked at Meghan who slapped the table and left, Henry who apologized on the side, and Donner who was screaming and wiping his eyes, he didn't make a sound, finished the food on his plate, and left the restaurant silently.

Soros came to the training ground, bent down to pick up the cowhide bag that had fallen on the ground, and at the same time saw Meghan sulking on one of the benches in the training ground.

Soros silently walked into the training ground, violently flicked his Hidden Blade, and trained on the dummy on the training ground.

Megan looked at Soros, who didn't pay attention to him, but began to train silently: "Hey, Soris!"

Soros stopped the training in his hand and looked back at Megan: "Soros!"

Meghan was stunned, as if she didn't figure out why Soros would say this: "What, what?"

Soros looked at Meghan expressionlessly: "My name, Soros, is not Soris." ”

Meghan smiled awkwardly: "Aha, I'm called Soros, I think you must have heard it wrong!"

Soros ignored Meghan and went back to training.
