Chapter 493: The Fox Steals the Chicken
The blind cat didn't expect to be able to run into a dead mouse, and when she brought the bird to Rudolph, the knights around her looked surprised. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Rudolph took the bird from her mouth and looked at it: "Thin, but alive, then count it as two copper coins." β
He handed the bird to a man: "Bring some bread crumbs and feed them." β
Two copper coins are equivalent to a meal, and I feel that I am happy, at least the meal I ate at noon has been earned. She turned and went out again, amusing everyone.
In the afternoon, I went around in the woods for half a day, and no birds were hungry anymore, and if I went down, it was getting dark, and I had to go back.
After becoming human, she went downstairs for dinner. I only felt that my legs were still a little numb, and the soles of my feet and palms were a little sore, because I was hungry after running for an afternoon. The speed should be fast, there are many men here, and the speed of eating is extremely fast, so you have to grab the good ones first. She stood up, picked up her knife and cut the flesh, then tore off a pheasant's thigh.
Rudolph sat on the throne and smiled wryly: "It seems that you have to eat back to your old book, you can only eat here, and you are not allowed to pack it." β
Cheng Qianxun didn't pay attention to it at all, and ate unceremoniously.
Although tired today, at least Rudolph will not come to bother. After eating, she went to get two wooden swords and drew them in the courtyard. Thinking about how to make the sword fast, the other party is difficult to parry, but the face is the person who has been licking the blood from the knife, just relying on hard work can only be for a while, really encounter the big man with great strength and extraordinary strength, and split down with a sword and directly chop to death.
Seeing her practicing swords, some knights went to the door and watched with a smile, with her swordsmanship is indeed very layman, even a sword flower will fall, and the two swords often bump into each other in their hands.
I've been practicing for an hour, and I feel at least a little better than before, and as long as I keep going, I'm sure I'll become a swordsman. She took the wooden sword and went to sleep.
When she woke up the next day, Rudolph opened the door for her, and she went down to lunch with her.
During the meal, Rudolph looked at her with a bit of a joke: "After eating, you are going to catch birds?" β
She raised her head, nodded stubbornly, and continued to eat with her head down. Maybe talking to people isn't that funny, but talking to a fox is fun. The snow fox nodded in reply, and the knights turned to their own pets or seeing intelligent animals.
After eating, Cheng Qianxun walked to the door, and Rudolph's advice came from behind him: "Don't go too far, be careful of the skin on your body." β
Although it sounded a little weird, Cheng Qianxun still stopped, turned his head to Rudolph and cracked his mouth, and smiled.
When I came to the woods, I thought that it was not a good idea to just rely on the hungry birds all over the world yesterday, and the most important thing was to hunt. Isn't there a rabbit, then catch a rabbit, a serf can be counted as five copper coins if he sends a dead rabbit, if he can catch a live one, isn't the price higher?
Finding a rabbit hole, she looks left and right for other holes. After some holes were blocked with snow, they stayed next to the hole, lying on their stomachs and waiting. Rabbits feel that there is not enough air and will come out to breathe.
Lying on your stomach and waiting is much better than turning around in the woods. Yesterday afternoon, I was half tired to death, and I didn't catch a single bird feather.
Wait, wait, wait, and finally saw the rabbit show its twitching three-petaled lips, she was very happy, and continued to wait patiently, this rabbit will definitely come out, and pull out the snow from several other holes.
Seeing that the rabbit felt no danger and was about to come out, suddenly the sound of footsteps "creaking" on the snow came. The rabbit's mouth retracted.
This made Cheng Qianxun angry, and he was about to go crazy, when he suddenly heard someone talking softly.
It should be several people, all of whom lowered their voices as if discussing something. She pricked up her ears and listened:
"I didn't expect this guy to buy this place, he is also a knight, why can't we be masters?" "Kill him...
Cheng Qianxun was shocked, he must be talking about Rudolph. She lay motionless in the snow, her fur the best protective color, blending in with the snow around her.
"Kill him, and a new nobleman will come." "If we don't say, who knows? It's a big deal to find someone to pretend to be him, and I'll pretend to be fine, and everyone will share the money. No one outside knew that he had been slaughtered by us. β
"It's easier said than done to kill him. It's not like you've never seen his strength, and besides, there are eight more people around him. "Eight men are nothing, if all of them are agitated, there are twenty-four in the city. They must be willing, and know how much the tax is here every year. β
After being silent for a while, someone gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then do it, when will you do it?" β
"If you want to do it quickly, when he recruits more knights in the spring of next year, it will be difficult for us to start." "Okay, let's do it tonight...
Cheng Qianxun listened to their chat, and patiently waited until they turned around and left, they had already walked about ten steps, and they should not look back, then they got up and secretly prepared to slip away.
"Hey, why is my purse missing?" A person's voice came from a long distance behind her, Cheng Qianxun knew that it was not good, she quickly fell down again, lying in the snowdrift and not moving.
A man went and returned, but when he picked up the money bag, he seemed to see something.
"Hey, aren't you leaving?" His accomplice shouted.
He stood in place, his eyes attracted by the footprints on the snow: "Why are there fox footprints here?" I don't remember coming in time. β
"You're mistaken, besides, it's not like there's no fox and weasel here." His accomplices hurried back to prepare.
"That's not right!" His eyes continued to follow the footprints all the way: "I'm afraid that someone has specially seen it on the ground, there will be weasels here, but there will be no foxes... β
When he saw Cheng Qianxun, he shouted violently: "It's the snow fox, the snow fox is here, I saw it!" β
This man's eyesight is too good, and his mind is unusually thoughtful. was discovered, Cheng Qianxun immediately jumped up, turned his head and fled to the castle.
"Catch it!" Suddenly the footsteps on the snow behind him shouted: "This guy is very cunning, hurry up and catch it." β
Hurry up, escape... Cheng Qianxun spread his four legs and fled violently, the speed of the fox should be faster than that of people, and he can get rid of these guys by saying anything.
"Whoosh... The arrows and long and short swords that were thrown made her secretly scream, whether these guys are here to talk secretly or hunt, why do they still carry arrows! Quickly rely on the shelter of the trees and flee for your life in a circle.
"Whoosh~" A sword grazed her hind legs and stuck on the ground, scratching her skin.
It hurts, but it hurts to escape, and when they kill the fox and skin her, it will hurt even more. She lifted her cramping hind legs, and with three legs, limped towards the castle gate, and had escaped from the woods, and the closer they got to the gate, the less daring they dared to pursue.
It's a pity that after the injury to her hind leg, her movement slowed down a lot, and a person pounced on her and grabbed her waist. She turned her head to the other person's ear and bit it hard!
"Ah~" The other party screamed, let go of his hand, and covered his bitten ear: "This beast bit my ear." β
She continued to flee forward, and there was chaos behind her: "Bite it, bite it, grab it." β
There were as many as five people in the secret conversation, and she was injured in her hind leg, and she was finally caught again... She was grabbed by the hind legs and lifted upside down.
Looking at the gate that was still some distance away, she screamed loudly, hoping that someone there would hear it and come out to save her.
"Hurry up and cut it." A guy grinded his teeth and whispered to his accomplice, who still had a sword in his hand.
was about to kill her, Cheng Qianxun's screams became louder and more poignant.
"Well, isn't this Lord Rudolph's pet?" A voice rang out.
Cheng Qianxun looked sideways, it was the three knights beside Rudolph, they may have come out to run errands, or they may have come out to walk together, just passing by, she hurriedly shouted at each other.
Seeing that the other party was holding a sword, a person immediately drew his sword and stepped forward to block: "Don't kill it, it's an adult's pet, if you kill it, you're not afraid of adults getting angry?" β
The man with the sword rolled his eyes: "It stole the chicken and bit one of us, if the adult is angry, just look for me, you get out of the way." β
You just stole chickens, are foxes specialized in stealing chickens? Cheng Qianxun screamed angrily, and then made a "woo woo" cry for help at the knight who was trying to save her.
If you kill him, you will kill him, and you don't care about him. But think about it, this snow fox is not only Rudolph's pet, but also the favorite of the unmarried lady, and yesterday he also caught a live finch for his fiancΓ© to make money, making everyone happy, so there are very few psychic snow foxes.
Since he also has two companions, his swordsmanship is not much worse, and the other original knights here, even if they don't sell their face, they should also sell the face of the new master. So the knight came forward and snatched the snow fox: "It's just stealing chickens, Lord Rudolph doesn't give it meat every day, what do you have to lose, just ask your lordship, why kill it?" β
After saying that, he turned around and left with the snow fox, Cheng Qianxun cautiously looked at the five conspirators behind him, although they hesitated, but in the end they still didn't make a move. Because the swords of three of them were still stuck in the original forest for throwing them, and she was just a fox, no matter how clever she was, she would not speak, and she would not denounce them. Instead, he killed her, and Rudolph knew that it would ruin tonight's big event.
Back at the castle, Rudolph saw that she had been carried back and had a strained wound on her hind leg, and hurriedly bandaged her.
While bandaging, I listened to the knight's story. After listening, Rudolph asked her, "You steal chickens?" β
Cheng Qianxun looked at Rudolph and shook his head, opening his mouth to speak, but he only made a "whoop" sound.
After a while, the five conspirators, one of whom had bitten his ear, came with one of them to ask for compensation. He also brought two dead chickens, saying that they had been bitten to death.
Looking at the chicken that was "bitten to death", Cheng Qianxun really couldn't cry or laugh.
Rudolph looked at the dead chickens on the ground, and the man put down the hand covering his ears, revealing his ears that were still bleeding, and nodded: "It should be compensated." β
"Butler!" Rudolph cried out, "Go and give them the forty dollars." β
Forty dollars, Cheng Qianxun rolled his eyes, no matter how fat a chicken is, it is only worth ten dollars, and it is too generous, right? Is it going to be the money on her head then? (To be continued.) )
