God, you are our true life, knowing you to have life, serving you to be free, enjoying you to enter your kingdom, praising you is the joy of the soul. I praise you, I praise you, I worship you, I glorify you, I thank you for your great glory. I humbly plead with you to live in me, to rule over me, to build my heart into a holy temple fit for your holy greatness to dwell.

- Augustine (Roman Empire Catholic thinker, saint and teacher)

At dawn the next day, Oscar got up early; After all, this is the first time Oscar has invited Mary to go out, and it can be regarded as Oscar's first date with a beautiful woman in two worlds, of course, it is not sloppy at all. However, the brutal truth soon proves that Oscar is not a man who is suitable for packing.

Although Oscar woke up an hour earlier than usual, Oscar had no idea what he was supposed to do; Since it is not to go fishing for cavalry, then there is naturally no need to prepare horse harness and fishing gear. In addition, the accommodation has already been arranged, and things like tents do not need to be considered; Oscar felt that the only thing he could do was pack two clothes and that was it.

Even with such a simple way of packing up, Oscar still failed to do it; Because Oscar always wears Roman clothes under the service of others, Oscar himself does not organize these things at all. In short, Oscar wasted a full two hours and then spent himself in a daze in the room with nothing.

In Oscar's opinion, Mary still had to go to the barracks in the morning to explain some affairs, so naturally it was impossible to come back too early; So he felt he had plenty of time to prepare. And he was in a daze in the room with nothing to do. Pity. Things aren't what Oscar imagined; At a time when Oscar was fantasizing about a "happy" life with Mary. Mary suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

When a person is found by someone else when he is crooked, he will always be more flustered, if the person who finds it is still his crooked object; That's not just panic, it's a panic! This is Oscar's current state, when Mary, dressed as a village girl, appears in front of Oscar's eyes; Oscar's first reaction turned out to be not appreciation, but fright!

Mary watched Oscar, who looked panicked, get up from the bedroom stool with a blushing face, and of course knew that Oscar must not have thought of anything good just now; But Mary doesn't turn around and walk away because of these little things. Mary ignored the overwhelmed Oscar and went straight to Oscar's bedside. Begin to sort out the laundry that Oscar has casually thrown on the bed.

Oscar watched as Mary folded her clothes one by one and put them away; I couldn't help but be embarrassed: "Mary, aren't you going to the barracks this morning to make arrangements?" Why did you come back so early, I thought you wouldn't be back until noon. ”

Oscar's ability to change the subject, Mary simply scoffed; However, while continuing to pack and tidy up her clothes, Mary patiently explained: "I originally planned to go to the barracks to arrange things in person, but then I thought about it and didn't go; Because the captains in the barracks were already proficient in leading the army, I just sent a herald over to talk about it. ”

"Oh, then why did you come to me all of a sudden; Aren't you supposed to pack up in your room. Have you packed all your stuff? It's unlikely, you girls are packing up or something. Doesn't it take a long time, how can you be so fast? Oscar's embarrassment eased for a while, and then continued to find a topic.

However, Oscar's problems were exchanged for a big roll of Mary's eyes; Mary replied to Oscar in a slightly mocking tone: "The girls you are talking about are the ladies and ladies of your aristocratic circle, and we civilians born in the countryside don't have so much attention!" ”

Now Oscar is embarrassed again; However, Mary's "attack" is not over. After picking up all the folded clothes at hand, Mary put them in the cupboard in the bedroom, and continued to taunt Oscar: "Also, we are going to the ordinary country, not to the noble banquet of your Romans; You don't need to bring these clothes at all.

These garments of yours are either silk garments of great value or toga typical of the Roman aristocracy; If you go to the countryside in these clothes, no one will dare to talk to you. You have to wear ordinary country clothes like me to really fit into the life of the villagers, otherwise, they won't treat us as their own.

Of course, I already knew that you, a noble young master born in Rome's top family, would not understand this, so I have already prepared the clothes you are going to wear in the morning. There were three sets of each of us, all of which were the most ordinary Sardinian peasant clothes; So that we can really live the country life I want! ”

Mary's words directly made Oscar kneel, and the previous Oscar was not so particular; It was only later that these things came into being produced as I got used to being served. It seems that this person is really easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift! It's a pity that these inner monologues of Oscar can't be known to Mary; Because Mary was already fluttering out again.

The bad mornings were quickly forgotten by Oscar, who, after changing into the coarse cloth clothes of an ordinary peasant man, left the Doge's palace with Mary through the back door of the Doge's Palace. The peasant couple chosen by Vipsani were well placed in a restaurant in Callaris by Vipsani, and their ox cart belonged to Oscar and Mary.

In this way, Oscar and Mary took a few clothes and got into this tattered ox cart; Of course, there were several other ox carts with them. Originally, several families from a village had come to the market, and Vipsani had bribed one of their families to create an opportunity for Oscar and Mary; Now it was naturally Oscar and the two of them returning to the countryside together.

It may be that the previous couple had already greeted these fellow villagers, and everyone greeted Oscar and Mary very warmly and introduced themselves; Of course, Oscar also needs to introduce himself and Mary to them. However, when Oscar said that he and Mary were a newlywed couple, Mary's claws still raged on Oscar's waist!

It takes about four or five hours to get from Callaris to the country village of Sassari; With those fellow villagers leading the way, Oscar and Mary naturally won't worry about getting lost. However, the biggest problem is that Oscar doesn't know how to drive an oxcart at all; In the past, Oscar couldn't even ride a horse, but later he learned to control a war horse skillfully by using the foundation of this body and studying hard.

However, whether it is Bai Feng in his previous life or the Oscar in reality; Or maybe the real Oscar, no one has ever had the experience of driving an ox cart! If anyone dares to say that cows are docile animals in front of Oscar now, then Oscar will definitely draw his sword against him; Have you ever seen a cow with a whip that doesn't even take a step?

Originally, Oscar was going to change Mary's opinion of himself by driving an ox cart, but now it seems that this is just a greater tragedy; This old scalper who didn't know where to find it didn't cooperate with Oscar at all, and it could even be said that he was trampling on Oscar's self-confidence! Mary, who was sitting on the straw behind the bullock cart, watched Oscar fight with an old ox for ten minutes......

In the end, it was Mary who solved the farce, and after pushing Oscar away, Mary grabbed the rope that tied the cow's nose; Then with a slight shake, the old scalper began to walk forward. This result made all the fellows present laugh happily, but Oscar, who was full of depression, sat helplessly on the oxcart straw that originally belonged to Mary.

The open-top ox cart was certainly not as comfortable as the elaborate carriages of the Roman aristocracy, but the rickety bumps gave Oscar a completely different feeling; Looking at Mary, who was sitting in front of the ox cart and driving the ox cart, Oscar was unconsciously stupid. A woman's sixth sense is always keen, and Oscar's burning eyes naturally can't hide from Mary; Gradually, Mary's face also crept into a flush.

The bumps of four or five hours along the way are not long, but they are definitely not short; Mary, who has lived in the countryside since she was a child, naturally doesn't feel anything wrong, but Oscar fell asleep in such a bump. Under the light of the rising sun, a group of slowly moving ox carts gradually drifted away from the fields; The beautiful girl drove the ox cart, while the handsome man was asleep, which was also a unique sight.

By mid-afternoon, the ox-cart procession had finally arrived at their village; The village children, who had heard the sound from afar, gathered happily around their parents' ox carts, looking forward to the gifts their parents had brought back from the bustling city. The noise of the children naturally woke up the sleeping Oscar, and also made Mary, who was driving the ox cart, show a look of envy.

Oscar doesn't know if Mary is envious that these children can be around their parents, or that these parents can have children of their own; However, this did not affect Oscar in the slightest and said to Mary cheaply: "Mary, are you envious that these people have their own children, they are very cute?" Actually, I envy them too! Otherwise, the two of us ......"

Then all the giggling children and smiling parents were shocked by a terrible scream, and saw Oscar, who was sitting on the straw behind the ox cart, slowly get up from the ground and explain to the people who looked at him in embarrassment: "Sorry, sorry; I fell asleep just now and accidentally rolled down in a dream, disturbing everyone; Go on. ”

Oscar's funny performance made everyone happy, and the children also reported innocent discussions; The happiness between them, watching Mary on the oxcart and Oscar on the ground, is once again a little stupid.
