Chapter 012: The Farm

After a while, the boss brought two fragrant roast lamb legs to Xue Huan and Ron. Xue Huan, who hadn't eaten meat for a few days, couldn't resist this temptation, and he didn't care about any image and politeness, and after saying thank you to Ron, he picked up a leg of mutton and gnawed it deadly. Looking at Xue Huan's eating appearance, the corners of Ron's mouth twitched, and he silently put down the half-raised cup, and picked up another leg of mutton to taste.

After a long while, Xue Huan, who had been full of wine and food, collapsed on the chair. Wiping his mouth, Xue Huan felt for the first time that even roast lamb shanks were so delicious.

Seeing Xue Huan so satisfied, Ron shook his head and smiled. Looking out the window, it was already getting late, Ron said to Xue Huan: "It will be night in a while, hurry up and go back to the room to get ready to rest, we have to hurry up tomorrow morning." ”

Also.

Xue Huan hurriedly got up and prepared to return to his room, and when he went upstairs, Xue Huan subconsciously looked at the corner of the hotel, but the young man who was drinking there had already left at some point.

"Good night, and have a good night. Ron smiled at Xue Huan and walked into his room.

"You too. Xue Huan also smiled.

Opening the door and entering his room, Xue Huan couldn't wait to lie on the bed. Looking at the humble environment around him, there were no TVs, computers, or mobile phones, but Xue Huan still felt very satisfied. With the precarious days of the past few days, Xue Huan now feels that being able to sleep peacefully in bed is a valuable asset. Thinking about it, Xue Huan, who didn't even take off his clothes, fell asleep deeply......

late at night

Clutching his chest, Xue Huan was once again awakened by the pain in his heart. I don't know when this pain will end completely, and Xue Huan, who was sweating profusely, had to grit his teeth so that he would not make any sound.

Before I knew it, some time passed, and the pain seemed to fade away. Xue Huan wiped his forehead with his hand, Xue Huan thought to himself: If you give yourself this hand every night, then if you want to live, you have to make yourself have a nervous breakdown!

Xue Huan got up and sat by the window, took off his cloth clothes, and carefully studied his chest through the moonlight. But after watching it for a long time, Xue Huan really couldn't see anything unusual. Now Xue Huan wondered, could it be an "internal injury" such as a heart attack?

Startled by this sudden thought, Xue Huan quickly shook his head and denied his thoughts. After all, I have been checked every year before, and if there were these diseases, the doctor would have told my parents a long time ago. Could it be that some kind of spell has been cast on your heart? This is a certain possibility, after all, in this world full of magical elements, anything can happen. And this situation of my own only started after the "resurrection from the dead", so this possibility is the greatest.

But in the current situation, Xue Huan really has no good way, so he can only choose to grit his teeth and persevere. Fortunately, this situation only happens once a day, and as long as the pain is over, it will not happen again that day.

"When I work for a while and save some money, I'll go to Dalaran to have a look. Xue Huan thought to himself.

Xue Huan always believed that everything that happened to him at the moment should be related to magic, and only by going to the Magic Kingdom to find the senior named Antonidas could he solve his doubts.

Xue Huan, who had made up his mind, sat back on the bed and opened the package that Joss had given him, Xue Huan wanted to see what Joss had prepared for himself.

A gold coin, a few dough cakes, and a short dagger, that's all there is to the package. Wait, what a familiar dagger, isn't this the same dagger he used to defend himself when he ran away? It seems that he should have brought it back with him when Jos found it at that time. There was also a gold coin, and I remember Joss telling himself that the currency exchange rate in this world is 1:100. That is, one gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins.

Judging from Ron's consumption just now, one silver coin can eat a good meal, so this money should be enough for his own consumption for a few months. In addition, if you plan to work as a coolie on Knorr Farm for a while, you can save some money, which should be enough for you to go to Dalaran.

The plan is set. As for other things, since they can't be solved with their current abilities, they can only recuperate.

Early the next morning, Xue Huan got up early to pack his package. When he went downstairs, he found Ron already waiting for him at the door. After greeting each other, Xue Huan said to Ron, "Brother Ron, we should be able to reach Knoll Farm today." Although he was a little worried at first, Xue Huan was also a little excited at the same time. After all, Xue Huan, who is both timid and likes novelties, is inevitably nervous and mixed with a trace of anticipation.

"Yes, we should be able to reach Knoll Farm this morning. Originally, at my speed, if I had hurried up, I should have been able to arrive last night. But considering that you may be a little tired, I chose to rest for the night. "I have to say that Ron is a very enthusiastic person who knows how to take care of others.

Glancing at Ron gratefully, Xue Huan turned over and got on the horse. Compared with yesterday, Xue Huan's posture on the horse today is obviously much more fluent.

"Don't waste any more time, let's hurry. Ron said to Xue Huan.

"Good!"

With a shout of rage, the two rode towards Knoll Farm to the east.

Knorr's Farm is located on the eastern border of Stratholme, and due to its remote location, it is unattended all year round, and even the lord of Stratholme doesn't bother to care about this place where birds don't. The previous farmer also seemed to see that the place was not profitable, so he simply sold it to Austin for its low price. But who would have thought that Austen was a very business-minded person and ruthless. He hired a strong man named Simon to go to the sparsely populated east to hunt an animal called the Cracked Leopard, process their skins into luxurious clothing, and send them back to Lordaeron to be sold.

In the long run, this costume was loved by the upper class because it would sparkle at night. With this hand, Austin successfully earned the first fortune in his life, and only then did he have today's Knoll Farm. But the man he found named Simon had been arrested for torturing and killing others. After coming out, he still seems to be dead......

In the Knoll Farm, the workers are working in an orderly manner, but when they look closely, they are very tired and indifferent.

"Hurry up, if this wood can't be processed today, then everyone won't want to eat tonight. A tall, sturdy overseer was waving his whip and supervising the workers' work.

Eventually, a worker carrying timber collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion, but no one came to help him. When the tall overseer saw this, he hurried over and screamed angrily as he beat the unconscious worker, "Get up, waste. Dare to pretend to be unconscious!" The workers working on the side seemed to be familiar with what was happening, and no one stopped their work.

After a while, I saw that it didn't seem to have any effect. The tall overseer spat on the ground, and then said, "It's really bad luck, come and carry him aside, don't let him delay our work." ”

Apparently a little thirsty, the tall overseer took a sip of the water that had been set aside, and immediately felt refreshed. But watching the workers on the farm work slowly, Kem was angry. It's been nearly a week, and the house that was planned to be built is only about a third of the way through. Thinking of Simon's angry expression, Kem couldn't help but feel a pang of horror.

Kemben is a ruffian hooligan in Stratholme who befriends the newly released Simon at the Tavern. Could he not have known who Simon was? Stratholme had killed several ruffians in a row, all by himself. But don't think he's doing it for some bullshit justice, just because of the women who flirted with him.

Thinking of this, Kem adored him. So when Simon suggested that he needed a few people to help him take care of Knoll Farm, Kem volunteered. Now Kem thinks of what he was like at that time, and he really wants to kill himself with a stick.

"Kem, Mistress Simon has asked me to deliver a message, he's waiting in the hall for you to report on the situation. Another overseer's voice sounded from a short distance, interrupting Kem's thoughts. I was really afraid of something, how could I deal with it now? No matter what, Kem clenched the whip in his hand, called the workers next to him, and after a few orders, he strode towards the hall.
