Chapter 50: A Young Man Named Henry

A sudden farewell completely disrupted the established deployment, John was confused for a while, and even the food in front of him seemed to have lost its taste.

And after this incident, he suddenly realized that he had fallen into a terrible predicament. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He has no roots, none at all.

In this more than 7,000-acre middle finger courtyard, he is not familiar with the low-level hired laborers, idle hooligans, or middle-level manor managers and rulers, and he doesn't even know who does what work.

This also led to the loss of Renault, the head snake, John couldn't find the power point at all, and he had no clue what to do, just like an emperor who was set up by powerful ministers, and could only sit on the dragon chair all day long.

No, we can't go on like this, we have to find a breakthrough!

John muttered to himself, his eyes half-narrowed, lost in thought.

Time passed slowly, and at some point, a sneaky young man appeared in the grass outside the garden.

The young man was a little more than 1.7 meters tall, very thin, habitually shrunk his head, and looked like a plucked monkey from a distance.

The young man was very bold, and kept looking inside by the fence of the garden, and when he found that there were no other outsiders in the garden, he carefully touched in, walked quickly to five meters in front of John, and whispered,

"I'm Henry Lind, and I've met Master John."

"Oh! By the way, it was Renault who asked me to come over. ”

The young man's tone of voice was steady, but the left hand pinching the corner of his clothes and the constantly rolling eyes still leaked out the tension in his heart.

John took a sip of red wine, casually glanced at the immature young man, and asked in a flat tone,

"Renault asked you to come, why?"

"He said you needed a helper, so I just... I'm just... It's coming. ”

John shook his head speechlessly, thinking that Renault guy was crazy, and actually found such a guy, and said, "Go back, I don't need a young man who is not yet eighteen years old." ”

Henry was suddenly anxious, and while thinking about what Cousin Renault had ordered, he said in a quick tone,

"Don't, young master, don't look at me as tender, in fact, I'm 20 years old, not young, and I know a lot of people, not only can I help you do recruitment, but also help you find out the news, even... and even help you deal with the second young master. ”

Hearing the last sentence, John's face changed instantly, he put down his wine glass, looked at him sternly, and asked in a cold voice,

"What's your relationship with Renault?"

The sudden change in tone frightened Henry into nervousness, and he said incoherently, "He's my cousin, and my mother is his aunt." ”

"So, you're cousins."

"Yes!"

Henry said dryly, suddenly remembered something, patted his brain, and said with chagrin,

"Look at my memory, forget all this."

As he spoke, he took a silver pocket watch from his pocket and placed it on the stone table.

Seeing this familiar Longines pocket watch, John was silent for a moment, his expression was a little complicated, and the feelings hidden in his memory could not be erased by erasing, he pointed to the chair opposite and said

"Since you are a relative of Renault, then you are also my relative, sit down!"

Henry answered, and sat down carefully in his chair, his little thief's eyes wide, and even though he sat under John's nose, he glanced at the fine food on the table from time to time.

Treacherous little guy!

John pushed the plate of bacon rolls to his side and said,

"This plate of food hasn't been touched yet, I'll leave it to you."

"Great, thank you, young master."

Henry was overjoyed, and was not polite, picked up the bacon roll and stuffed it into his mouth, as if he had not eaten for a long time.

John picked up the wine on the table again, and did not speak, but looked at him quietly.

The face is yellow and thin, the lips are dry, the hair is messy and greasy, there are holes in the heart of the jacket, three buttons are missing, there is a palm-sized hole in the thigh of the pants, the neck is black, and there is a strange smell on the body.

From these places, it can be inferred that his current life is very bad, and there are either no relatives at home, or his relatives ignore him.

However, judging by his wild way of doing things, it should be the former.

A bold, unconcerned, and thick-skinned little clever ghost.

Maybe you can use it!

John pondered, and when he had finished the bacon rolls on his plate, he said,

"Henry Linde, I'll call you Henry from now on, and you want to help me, so I'm going to ask, what can you do?"

"I'll do whatever you tell me to do?"

Henry hiccuped and said with a grin, with a maturity in his eyes that didn't match his age.

"Good!"

John nodded, satisfied with this answer, pointed to the half bottle of red wine next to him, motioned for him to enjoy it himself, and asked,

"If I let you fight the wolf, will you go too?"

"Yes!" Henry took a sip of red wine and said without hesitation,

"Why?"

"My mother died early, my father also left the year before last, the family is very poor, I don't want to live a hard life anymore."

"That's it!"

"Yes!"

Despite perceiving the sarcasm in John's tone, the young man nodded firmly, for two years, he had had enough of the white eyes of others, and as long as he could get rid of that kind of life under the fence, no matter how hard and tired he was, even at the cost of his life, he didn't care.

John shook the wine glass in his hand, the corner of his eye stayed on the young man, his gaze was resolute, and there was a hint of desperate madness, this little man really wanted to be himself.

"One more question!"

"Why don't you go to my brother Blake, you know, he obviously has a greater advantage in terms of heirs."

Hearing this, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on Henry's face, and his eyes fluttered,

"I can't go to him!"

"Why?"

"Because... Because—" said Henry, dodgingly, finally telling the truth, "I was so hungry that I stole something from him. ”

"What did you steal?"

"A foal!"

John raised his eyebrows, he seemed to have some influence on the matter, and after remembering it for a moment, he suddenly said,

"It turns out that you stole the Dutch horse that was consigned from Venegia a year ago."

Henry lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at John again, he was a little frightened and a little scared, when the thief's matter was discovered, would the eldest young master still use himself?

If he doesn't use himself, what will I do in the future? Will you be able to stay at Condon Plantation? Where do you go if you're not here?

Countless thoughts came out of his heart, Henry's heart was beating rapidly, and his malnourished face was covered with sweat unconsciously.

"I can give you a chance to change your life!"

A sentence was like rain falling from the desert, Henry immediately raised his head and said in surprise,

"Young Master, what you said is true."

"Of course, but you need to do one thing to prove yourself."

"You said, no matter what, I will definitely do it for you."

John hooked his hand at him, and when he came up, he whispered in his ear, and despite his shocked face, he took out two one-dollar bills from his bosom and slapped them on him, saying,

"Take these two dollars, think about what to do, don't be reckless, and don't expose yourself,

If you do it, you will stay with me in the future;

If you can't do it, leave before it's too late. ”
