35 Ox

After finishing the evening prayer and saying goodbye to little Andre, Wu Qingchen walked out of the church and glanced at the sun at the side door of the church, Wu Qingchen did not go home immediately as usual, at this time, the sky had begun to darken, but the wooden houses on both sides of the road did not begin to emit bursts of smoke as usual. On the day of summer service, most housewives have their own work, and from this day on, dinner is postponed a lot throughout the village of Akrya.

Taking advantage of his free time, Wu Qingchen once again went into his secret kitchen, and after more than an hour, it was not until the village bell rang that the end of the labor was that Wu Qingchen left the woods and walked onto the path.

Back at the cabin, old William, Jacqueline, and the two brothers had not yet arrived at home, and there were only two little ones rolling around and little Nina preparing dinner in the cabin.

It was already the time to go to bed on weekdays, Wu Qingchen felt a little tired, and quickly climbed onto the hay bed and gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, shaking slightly, Wu Qingchen opened his eyes, and in front of the hay bed, his mother Jacquelin was looking at him with concern.

"Rose, wake up, it's time to eat."

"Huh? …… Kindness. ”

Wu Qingchen got up and rubbed his eyes, his father and brother had already gone home, sitting around the dark wooden table a few meters away, and little Nina was putting the last big bowl full of green paste.

"Awake?"

Father William Sr.'s voice was obviously a little hoarse, and next to the wooden table, seeing Wu Qingchen, Idra and Grace only raised their eyelids slightly, and quickly lowered their heads again, their eyes half-closed and gasping for breath, and the arms and calves of the three of them trembled slightly from time to time.

There is no need to see more, Wu Qingchen has already understood that the farm work of summer service is indeed very heavy.

It was still the mother who distributed the food, and similar to the first meal at noon, William and Idra quickly put twice as many peas, green soup, mush, a piece of cheese and a hard-boiled egg in front of them, and Grace had twice as much as the usual food and a smaller piece of cheese.

The mother quickly walked in front of Wu Qingchen.

Hey?

Half a minute later, Wu Qingchen screamed in surprise.

Next to the same double peas, green soup, and paste, there was a considerable piece of cheese in front of Wu Qingchen......

And a steaming egg.

"Mother?"

Wu Qingchen raised his head suspiciously.

"Eat, you're working hard today." Jacqueline's response was a gentle smile.

Is this thanks to the face of the priest? Or is it a reward for the rest of the work left to the east of the village?

Wu Qingchen was still skeptical.

However, it doesn't really matter what the reason is.

Looking at the steaming green soup and eggs in front of him, Wu Qingchen couldn't help but touch his stomach.

This action has nothing to do with appetite.

Before going home, when he ran to the wooden bridge in the village and went into the second secret kitchen to sort out the materials, Wu Qingchen caught a rabbit and three fat fish by the way, and his stomach was already full, and now he had no desire to eat at all.

I'll you......

I finally came across a snack ......

After sitting in a daze for half a minute, glancing at his father and brother on both sides gobbling up, Wu Qingchen had a sad face, gritted his teeth, and finally eliminated the peas and green soup in front of him.

As for the remaining wizard mush, unsightly cheese, eggs without a hint of salt.

Wu Qingchen tilted his head slightly, and his eyes naturally looked at Xiao Nina, who had already solved his share of poor food, and began to concentrate on drooling.

"Nina ......"

"Brother Los!" As soon as Wu Qingchen spoke, little Nina immediately smiled, and instantly rushed to Wu Qingchen's side.

"Ahem...... Eat these, for you......" Wu Qingchen pointed to the remaining food in front of him...... Or the burden......

"Yes! Thank you, brother......" Little Nina nodded quickly, and her right hand had already grabbed the egg in front of Wu Qingchen.

"Loos, you ......"

Seeing all this, the father frowned, his lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything, just sighed slightly.

"It's okay, father, I'm full." Touching his stomach, Wu Qingchen stood up.

After entering the medieval world for more than twenty days, Wu Qingchen had already understood that once his family's food was distributed, it seemed to become a personal belonging. Parents and brothers will not interfere with whether it is eating, leftovers, or delivering, and the next time the food is distributed, the situation of the previous meal is not taken into account at all, and it is completely determined by the degree of fatigue of the farm work that day.

Similarly, for more than ten days, the mushy in front of Wu Qingchen, although almost every time he gave way to Little Nina. However, every time she eats, her mother always serves Wu Qingchen a standard half bowl, and no matter how much saliva Little Nina sheds and how much she looks forward to it, she never takes away the rest of the food in front of Wu Qingchen before Wu Qingchen makes a clear signal.

Call......

Waiting for little Nina to finish eating quickly, Wu Qingchen habitually washed his small wooden bowl, then climbed onto the tattered wooden bed covered with hay, straw, fleas and bed bugs, and fell asleep again.

……

In the next two or three days, in the medieval world, Wu Qingchen's life was quite regular.

Get up when the sky is slightly bright, rush to some part of the east or west and work tirelessly for seven or eight hours, and call it a day when the bell of the second summer service rings.

After returning home and eating the first meal of the day, my parents and brothers rushed to work in the lord's commons, either to rest a little, or to finish the last little work left over from the field, or to go directly to the church to listen to the teachings of the pastor.

At the end of the day, slip to the secret kitchen for a hearty meal, go home for a nap, and wait for your mother to wake up.

Third day of summer service, Medieval World, 0001-01-27.

In the No. 3 secret kitchen, looking at the dozen or so wooden planks spread out in front of him, Wu Qingchen showed a somewhat satisfied smile. After three days of hard work, with the help of the sharp knives lent by the priest, Wu Qingchen had already painted the wooden planks in front of him neatly, and they had all been coated with oil wax made of animal fat, and only the last few quite simple processes were needed to build the first artificial beehive in the medieval world.

One step closer to the nutrition and health care that the staff committee has repeatedly emphasized, and he can finally eat sweets in the medieval world, Wu Qingchen rechecked the materials and tools, confirmed that there were no mistakes, and the smile on his face became thicker.

After packing up the materials and tools and looking at the sky, Wu Qingchen frowned slightly, left the woods, and hurriedly stepped on the path home.

There were too many materials to be processed on this day, the storage room was delayed for a long time, the bell rang for a long time, Wu Qing Qing left the woods, and when he finally walked into the village, the sky was already dark, the village was full of smoke, and most of the villagers had already gone home to start the dinner on the summer service day.

After crossing two streams and turning a few small bends, the home of the medieval world appeared in front of Wu Qingchen's eyes.

Kindness?

As soon as he saw the wooden house, Wu Qingchen frowned.

At this time, turning the corner, Wu Qingchen must have seen the little Nina happily coming up at first sight.

However, on this day, there was no little girl at the door, and Wu Qingchen was greeted by a faint noise and a few suppressed whimpering.

What happened?

Wu Qingchen picked up his pace and almost trotted into the wooden house.

Stepping into the wooden house, a few steps away, the dark wooden table was already full of steaming food, but there was no one next to the wooden table, only a few empty chairs.

Don't you even eat?

Wu Qingchen was startled, and quickly turned his gaze, and soon saw the huddled family members on the left side of the wooden house.

Hearing the movement at the door, the family also turned around, and in an instant, the uneasiness in Wu Qingchen's heart immediately became heavier.

Because, the few people who turned around, Idra looked angry, Grace clenched his teeth, old William was full of sorrow, his mother Jacqueline and sister Little Nina stood in the corner, and a few clear tears could be seen on their faces.

"It's ...... What's wrong? ”

As soon as Wu Qingchen asked this, the slightly quieter wooden house suddenly erupted into noise again.

Wu Qingchen's ears were instantly filled with the voices of his parents and brothers talking at the same time, these voices were either excited, or angry, or sad, plus the two children in the wooden house, unwilling to be lonely, contributed a cry, Wu Qingchen quickly became dizzy, and it took a long time to finally understand what was happening.

It's actually quite simple.

The family's cow, the only big livestock, was injured on both sides of her back, dragging out several bloody wounds.

The process of discovery was also very simple: due to the summer ploughing, all the large livestock in the village of Akri were concentrated in the lord's commons for a few days. Wu Qingchen's cow is no exception, and has been working hard in the lord's commons. In the past few days, Wu Qingchen's family didn't touch it, until it was time to start plowing their own land, and old William took his own cow, and only then did he know that the cow was so seriously injured.

The process of injury is also very simple.

There were no secrets in the medieval world at all, and it only took a short time to find the plough handle and a few neighbors, and the old William quickly understood the truth:

The day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, my own cows were very normal, the work in the old man's field was not heavy, the plow and handlebar were also very experienced, and the cows have been taken care of very well; The time of the cow's wound must have been this morning, and the location is unknown, but the plough handlebar, the handlebar type, and several neighbors said that the village cowherd's share of land had miraculously completed all the ploughing work in only one morning; In addition, although only Wu Qingchen's cow was injured, several villagers said that their livestock had been listless that afternoon.
