There was a stream that meandered through the forest, and beside it, where the water was babbling, was built a rough water mill.

Near the water mill stood a series of simple houses made of mud and wood, covered with dense yellowing thatch.

A winding stone path connects these humble houses.

Beyond these humble houses is a pig barn, a chicken pen and a kennel, where the stench of different livestock mixes together like a chemical bomb that lingers in the area.

In front of these dwellings are low, shack-like houses, which are so dilapidated that they leak almost on all sides.

If the humble houses next to the water mill could be called country houses, then these shacks would be slums, refugee slums!

The slum dwellings are further down with walls of wood!

With the water mill as the center and the two ends of the creek as the starting point, the semicircular wall enclosed with timber is the whole picture of this small village next to the forest!

As night approached, the whole village was plunged into darkness, and if it weren't for the moon's stinginess of its brilliance, the whole village could be said to be out of reach.

The village is full of poor families, and few families are willing to light something as expensive as an oil candle!

There was only one exception, a two-row "luxury" house three meters from the water mill, where the dim light peeked through the cracks in the room.

This is Robert's home.

Robert's family is a well-known rich family in the village, with many fields, because they can't grow it themselves, and choose to rent it to other landless poor people in the village, and their family is famous in the village!

However, in addition to the fact that the villagers talked about their wealthy family, the fact that the Robert family had no children was also a long-standing topic for the villagers to talk about.

Behind the vulgar chatter of the villagers, there are hungry eyes.

The villagers are waiting, when will the Robert family, who have no children to inherit the family property, not be able to keep their property?

Of course not now, Robert is in the prime of life, and Mrs. Robert has a cylindrical figure rarely seen in the village, and those wild men in the village don't dare to fight their ideas at all!

But it's all temporary.

Because whether it is the villagers or the Robert family, they all understand that people will always grow old.

Robert and his wife are no longer young, and they will not be able to keep this inheritance forever.

Of course, that's for later.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

At this time, in the dimly lit room, Mrs. Robert, who was like a fat Russian aunt, was glaring angrily at the middle-aged man in front of her, who was her husband, Mr. Robert, and the first person William met this time, the villager who brought food to the lettuce girl!

And William stood beside the villager, the so-called Robert, with his lips pursed and his expression flat, and even Mrs. Robert's fat fingers pointed at him, without any sense of annoyance.

"Robert, are you crazy? You take him to that tower, and you take him home? Do you think there is too much food at home? Even if I use it to raise donkeys, it's better than wasting it on your stupid pig!" Mrs. Robert was angry and angrily pointed at William and scolded her husband.

Because he was too excited and his body was too fat, after scolding these words in one breath, he was a little out of breath, looking out of breath and having difficulty breathing.

Frightened, Robert rushed to Mrs. Robert's side and patted her on the back to give her a soothing, and it took a while for Mrs. Robert to recover.

As soon as she recovered, Mrs. Robert slapped Mr. Robert's hand away angrily and looked at him hatefully.

Mr. Robert smiled bitterly, and then changed his face to a smiling face, and said to Mrs. Robert, "Martha, listen to me!" ”

Mrs. Robert turned around and said she didn't listen.

Undeterred, Mr. Robert trotted to the side where Mrs. Robert had turned.

Mrs. Robert turned around angrily again, and Mr. Robert chased after him.

This was repeated several times, and when William was tired of watching it, and could not help feeling sleepy, Mrs. Robert's anger barely subsided a little, and she was willing to listen to Mr. Robert's explanation.

"Martha, I brought him back for a reason." ‘

"Oh, you're trying to tell me he's your illegitimate son, aren't you?" Mrs. Robert said coldly and sarcastically, of course, she also knew that this was impossible.

"Oh, Holy Light, Martha, my love for you is God-tested. How could I have done something to betray you! Mr. Robert swore at once.

"Humph!" Mrs. Robert snorted coldly, but knowing that her husband was telling the truth, she did not continue to be sarcastic, but looked at Mr. Robert coldly.

Mr. Robert exhaled and considered his words before he said cautiously, "Martha, don't you think the two of us are a little lonely, maybe we can take in some new members......"

When Mrs. Robert heard this, her face was like a dark cloud before the storm, "Are you disgusted that I can't have children?" ”

As a result of that incident more than ten years ago, Mrs. Robert could no longer have children, and no matter how hard Mr. Robert worked hard, Mrs. Robert was like a parched field, unable to grow ears of rice again.

This once made Mrs. Robert despair, and over time, she also became Mrs. Robert's backscale.

The occasional misword of Mr. Robert would have aroused the wrath of Mrs. Robert.

And now, Mr. Robert's words are tantamount to igniting the fire of anger in Mrs. Robert's heart.

Mr. Robert's heart was terrified, and he shouted quickly, "Martha, he is a fool!" ”

This sentence stunned William, who was bored next to him, and also made Mrs. Robert temporarily suppress her anger, "Robert, what do you mean by that?" ”

"Martha, this guy who doesn't know where he came from is a fool, he's still a mute! He is God's gift to us! ”

"The one in the forest won't let Lettuce recognize our own parents. She will only give us money, she will only send us! But, you see, my legs and feet are getting the same, and your panting is getting more and more frequent, and we need someone who can help us, if nothing else! ”

"And this guy, I think it's pretty good! He is not from the village, a homeless man, he may have been born into a wealthy family, he was either abandoned by his family, or he was accidentally separated, he is no threat to us, and he has no bad intentions! ”

Mr. Robert was well aware of the undercurrents in the village, and his heartfelt words silenced Mrs. Robert.

After a long time, Mrs. Robert said in a low tone, "How do you know if he's a fool or a dumb man?" ”

"Hehe," Mr. Robert smiled, "isn't that easy?" You see he's been here for so long, have you ever seen him say a word? ”

"Martha, let me tell you, even if I took him to the tower and let him see so many magical things, he didn't react at all, didn't say a word, isn't this dumb what is?"

"As for fools? Hey, hey, did you see that I didn't want the silver coins I gave him, but you still wanted to give me the gold coins? ”

"Gold coins......" exclaimed Mrs. Robert.
