Alan was disappointed not to get the news, and when he returned home, he happened to run into Cornell, who was supposed to be looking for him.

"Oops!" "Alan, where did you go, I almost thought you were captured." Mother Cornell angrily stepped forward and grabbed Alan's ear and said.

After all, there have been cases in the town where children have been taken and sold by slave traders.

So in the face of his angry mother and his sore ears, Alan decided not to defend himself, and just admit his mistake obediently and sincerely, which should be fine.

After all, it was his own child, looking at Allen, who had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes and nothing had happened, Cornell quickly forgave Allen after a moment of anger and warned that this should not be the case in the future.

Alan knew that his mother was going to forgive him, and nodded hurriedly to indicate that he knew.

Forgiven, Alan rubbed his ears and ran into the house, where he saw his father sitting at the dinner table.

"It's good to be back, let's eat quickly. Father Abt said flatly, but his red hand had already exposed his inner unpeace.

Alan sat down at the table when he heard this, and the dinner was not very rich, but as one of the only two meals, Alan still devoured it for a while, and the dinner ended quickly, and there was no nightlife in this ancient life. (There was no breakfast at home before, but Alan brought it up, and then the two villains in the family had an extra bowl of wild vegetable soup in the morning.) ）

As an ancient person without electricity, Alan finally knew how the ancients spent their nights, it was simply sleeping as soon as it was dark, and it was amazing, lying down on the pit and talking.

Of course, this is the night of the poor family, and the nobles still have oil lamps in their homes, this kind of luxury, anyway, Alan has not seen it when he comes to this world.

The couple looked at the two children, and after they all fell asleep, (in fact, Alan didn't sleep, he was a night owl in his previous life, no matter how used to it, it was impossible for him to go to bed so early) also started today's chat, or complained?

His father, Abt, and his mother, Cornell, also talked about today's tax announcement.

"You said that this lord doesn't want us to live, this tax was added before, and now it is added, what a way to live!" said Mother Cornell with some indignation.

"Shhhh Father Abt said anxiously.

"It's a big night, my lord, he can still come to our door and listen to us!" Although he said so, his mother Cornell's voice was still weak, and he added honorifics.

"But also, what kind of tax is this, everything in any territory belongs to the lord, and you have to pay taxes for using anything in any territory, and even say that even if you pick up a stone, you have to pay thirty percent. Father Abt also followed.

"No, he also said that it is not allowed to catch fish in the river and birds in the sky without permission...... Isn't it nonsense to say that because it is the property of the lord, the fish still swam from someone else's territory, how can it be said that it is his, alas! Mother Cornell said indignantly.

"Don't say it, don't say it, it's sad to say it, go to bed early. Father said reluctantly.

I see, I said that the people in the town are so worried today, this lord is too ruthless, and Zhou Papi can't compare.

And my father and mother don't have a lot of respect for the lord, at most they are afraid.

I really don't have the ability and courage to resist, otherwise those noble lords would have been torn apart a long time ago.

If I can canonize a nobleman, and then pull in these commoners who dare to be angry and dare not speak, tsk......

Soon Alan fell asleep in his fantasy, and when he woke up the next day, he found that there was still a lot of saliva at the corners of his mouth.

It's really a shame to be dead, and I'm still drooling when I sleep, it seems that I thought too beautiful yesterday, and I actually dreamed that I became the king of this kingdom with the support of the people.

......

Time is always fast, and two years have passed like this.

Alan's family has improved a little, but it is because Abt agrees with Alan's plan to fertilize.

Last year's field production increased by ten percent, although it was not much, but it also attracted the attention of the lord, who pushed this method to the entire territory, and even rewarded Allen's family with a bag of white flour.

Alan, who has never eaten white flour since he came to this world, is truly grateful to the miserly Baron Al.

Yes, the miserly baron, after all, increasing the production of the entire territory by ten percent is already a big increase, but only getting a bag of white flour.

However, it's good to have it, it's better than nothing.

Abt, who received white flour, initially planned to buy the flour in exchange for more black flour to relieve the pressure on his family.

However, at Cornell's insistence, he left half a bag of white flour to eat for himself.

In this way, Alan ate his first bite of white bread after coming to this world, which was so fragrant and soft, so nostalgic.

Alan even thought that when he grew up, he must find a way to become a knight, so that he could eat white bread for every meal.

Well, I admit that this ambition is a bit small, but in this exploited and oppressed place, it is probably the dream of most civilians to be able to eat white bread every day.

Including Allen, at least in the current Allen, he has never considered himself extraordinary and his nostrils are facing the sky just because he is a traverser, which will only die faster.

Alan's wish is simple, it is better to become a knight, so that at least he is separated from the commoners. But at this time, Alan didn't know that the selection of knights would only choose nobles, and commoners would have no chance unless they received the king's favor.

Yes, although the king's rights were divided among the nobles, just like the Warring States in ancient China, there were still some rights in name, but it was still easy to change a person's identity.

Although there is a reward from the lord, it does not change the work of the Allen family.

It's already May, and it's been a long time since it rained in Hill.

It also means that crops wither, food production declines, and even the survival of civilians is threatened.

But this is not a magical world, there are no magicians coming to perform magical rain, there are no gods, and the prayers of the church are not answered.

This also means that if it doesn't rain again, the civilians of Hill Territory may be threatened with starvation.

Maybe the prayer was answered by God, but that's what the church said.

It rained, albeit small, but it also brought hope.

There is a saying that hope is followed not by disappointment, but by despair.

Perhaps the gods thought that people had not experienced despair, but disaster had come.

That's what the church says......
