Chapter 380: A Week of Freedom
"Sancheng...... It doesn't seem to be very harsh, it seems that the ancestors of Flemming were still enlightened landlords. ”
"Of course, in a bad harvest year, the old lord will even reduce the rent of all farmers, so the people here love him, and this rule has been firmly observed by the current Lord Bolunck, and not only that, but even those farmers who raise livestock also enjoy this treatment."
"Well, that sounds good, it's a blessing that some lords are present in this kind of border area adjacent to other countries, and they will play a good role in appeasing the people."
"Yes, there have been several times when I heard that the Grutu Empire was going to call, and it was the lord who persuaded everyone not to move away and farm with peace of mind."
"I see, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and it is inseparable from the efforts of Bolunck Manor."
Cloud Shadow rode his horse and looked around at the fields of soybeans and peppers, and his heart rose to a new level in his heart about the Flaming family.
"By the way, I just heard you mention the term salt marsh mountains, how big is it?"
Yunying and Jilie had now driven their horses to the junction of the plains and hills, and beyond that was the endless cornfield, and she really wanted to know the exact area of the Bouron Manor in the face of such a large planting base.
"Oh, the salt marsh mountain, the salt marsh is the swamp we passed through before, the mountain is naturally the hilly area ahead, in fact, we haven't measured how big it is, first of all, we can't enter the depths of the swamp, and secondly, the Grutu Empire is on the other side of the hill, and the border between them and the Ania Empire is not clear."
"God, is it the realm of the Flemming family from the swamp? Isn't this a forced hatred of the rich that makes us poor? ”
Yun Ying was shocked, the area of this land was at least the size of Shanghai City, even if it was not an unusable swamp.
"Alas, in principle, it is, but we are not rich, our fields are very salty, and neither the main vegetables nor grains can grow. Every year Lord Flanoming has to find a way to exchange our potatoes, corn and peppers for rice and noodles, and this is not the worst - Miss Yunying, don't look at the weather now, the salt marsh mountains will usher in real winter in half a month, and then there will be a sudden heavy snowfall here, and the knee-high snow layer makes it difficult for us to send things out for trade, although every year the granary of Boulenc Manor has stored grain, but there are still people who have to gnaw corn on the cob for many days. ”
"No, this climate change is too big, no wonder I don't think your crops here are in season."
Yun Ying regretted it, knowing that he should have picked up a coat for free at the "Graceful" ready-to-wear store instead of looking at the good-looking men's suit and taking it away.
"Miss Cloud Shadow. It's noon, do you want to eat some dry food before drinking saliva? ”
"yes, when did you get these things ready?"
Seeing Jilie remove the two water bladders and the burden containing the dried steamed buns from his horse, Yunying was amazed. Anyway, she plans to eat some wild fruits on the roadside at noon to quench her hunger and thirst.
"Heh, as mercenaries, we must have adequate supplies at all times, because no one knows where they will be sent in the next moment, and besides, only when we are well fed can we have more physical strength to fight."
"Uh...... Good professional. ”
Faced with Ji Lie's textbook answer, Yun Ying was embarrassed. She didn't seem to have taken care of her physical state for the past two days, as if she had been completely indulged and crazy by someone who hadn't enjoyed freedom for a long time.
"Jilie, to be honest, I haven't had this easy time in a long time, my heart is very relaxed."
Turning over and dismounting, Yunying, who was sitting on the ground, was gnawing on dry steamed buns and suddenly wanted to find someone to say something. And Jiri is undoubtedly the only option.
"Miss Yunying means that you were very tired before? I've had a similar feeling after a fierce fight. ”
"Yes, that's right, it's something like that. I often feel like I'm in a life-and-death struggle. ”
It's so easy to talk to your peers, and Yunying is glad that she can meet a peer in another world who can talk to her.
"And now, Miss Cloud Shadow likes Boulunck Manor very much?"
"Yes, the air is full of freedom, and life here is simple. No one eavesdropped on my privacy, and no one would tell me what to do and what not to do. The main thing is that everyone here can control me, haha, it's so enjoyable! ”
Cloud Shadow picked up the water bladder and poured it into her mouthful, as if she was drinking a spicy liquor that would cut her throat.
"Miss Cloud Shadow...... It's not easy for you. ”
Listening to Yunying's grumbling, a little sympathy appeared in Ji Yeol's eyes, and this man's mind was unexpectedly thorough.
"Alas, don't say that, it's not easy for everyone to live - Jilie, do you dare to say that you are really the same as you are now? Do you dare to say that your hands have not been stained with the blood of unrelated people? ”
“…… Can't! ”
This time, it was Ji Yeol's turn to pour a sip of water.
"That's right, mercenaries are like this, since you have chosen this profession, you have to abandon yourself to be a murderous knife, an unintentional but sharp knife!"
“…… Miss Cloud Shadow, you seem to know mercenaries very well from your tone? ”
"Ah, I knew a little bit about it a long time ago......"
The tail note of Cloud Shadow disappeared as his eyes cleared, and Ji Lie did not speak again, because he knew that the former was falling into some kind of deep memory, and this wait was more than two hours.
"Yay? Time for lunch? ”
This sentence was the first sentence that Yun Ying asked when he came back to his senses, which made Ji Lie, who was feeding the grass to the two horses, involuntarily show a crying and laughing expression.
"Miss Cloud Shadow, are we going to move on?"
"Oh, not today, I made an appointment with Auntie's housekeeper to go back for dinner."
Cloud Shadow looked around and finally remembered where he was, and lazily stretched out to pick up the water bladder and dry food on the ground and handed it to Jilie - and went home.
After returning to Bolunk Manor, it was natural to eat, eat and go to bed like yesterday to have an emotional liaison meeting with Yin Feng, of course, Arthur still ignored her.
In the next few days, Yunying's life was also very simple, riding out with Jilie every morning to inspect the farmland, returning on time in the evening to have dinner with the Rogge Guard, who had no objections - she lay in bed every night and thought about how good it would be if this life could continue, but unfortunately everyone knew that it was impossible, if it was really so, the novel of the Four Nights Pavilion would have ended directly.
"Miss Yunying, do you want to go to the field today?"
A week later, when Cloud Shadow rode through all the farmlands of Boulunck Manor, Jilie finally couldn't resist making a suggestion.
