Achilles finally understood what it meant to hear someone shouting, "Don't touch the water."

The bread made by Aunt Philo was indeed delicious and smelled good, and little Pat was beaten on the first day of his arrival in Thesalia.

"But where is your bread?" Achilles looked at little Pat's dirty clothes and empty hands, but he didn't see the bread at all.

"They snatched it. Little Pat said nonchalantly.

Achilles immediately stopped, and pulled little Pat to go back.

"Eh, Achilles, what are you going to do?"

"I guess they haven't left yet, we're going to come back. ”

"Forget it, it's just a loaf of bread. Little Pat waved his hand, "Just give it to them." ”

"Ah, you can't be scared by them, are you?" Achilles stared at little Pat, a suspicious expression.

"Not really!"

Little Pat jumped up like a kitten with its tail stepped on.

"Then why don't you go back?"

Little Pat rolled his eyes, "That's because ...... Because, if you think about it, you beat them so badly, if an adult comes to ask, we can say that they rob us of our bread. If we go back and take it, they'll say they didn't take our bread, right?"

"Huh, when did you become so smart?" Achilles glanced at little Pat in surprise, he hadn't seen him for a few days, how did he feel as if he didn't know little Pat anymore.

"Hehe, I've always been pretty smart. Little Pat smiled and touched the back of his head, secretly crying out in his heart.

"By the way, Patroclus, you haven't eaten lunch, aren't you hungry?"

"I'm a little hungry. Little Pat pinched his stomach, and then he heard the sound of "Goo~~~".

"Let's go, go to my house first, and change your clothes by the way, otherwise you will be beaten again when you go home." ”

If little Pat went back to see Philomena covered in mud, he would be scolded if he wasn't beaten.

Achilles and little Pat were walking on their way home, and the sky, which had been gloomy after the rain, became brighter and brighter, and after two more steps, the sun actually shone down.

Fortunately, the house of the Macaon family is really conspicuous enough, otherwise Achilles would not have guaranteed that he would be able to come back smoothly.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Prince had returned, the guards outside the courtyard immediately opened the courtyard door and let him in, although it was a little strange why His Royal Highness the Prince brought a little beggar back, but the guards still didn't ask.

"Mom, I'm back. ”

Achilles shouted as he pushed open the door, but there was no one in the living room, and Thetis was not there.

"Huh, my mother isn't at home?"

"Isn't Aunt Thetis at home?"

"Sort of. ”

Just as the two of them were wondering, there was a sudden noise on the stairs, and then Achilles and little Pat saw Thetis in her nightdress yawning and walking down.

"Achilles, why did you come back so early?"

"Mom, I met little Pat on the road. Seeing that her mother's eyes didn't open, Achilles hurriedly reminded her that little Pat was beside her.

"Hello Aunt Thetis. ”

Although he was dirty, little Pat still said hello to Theseis seriously.

Thetis, who was a little dizzy from sleep, immediately woke up, but who was this mud monkey in front of her?

Titis was stunned for a moment before she reacted, "Little Pat, why is he so dirty?"

"I just fell on the road. Before little Pat could answer, Achilles hurriedly spoke.

Little Pat was stunned for a moment, "Oh...... yes, I just accidentally fell. ”

"Let's go take a shower, Achilles, and get little Pat some clothes. Thetis nodded in realization, as if she hadn't found anything.

"Thank you, Auntie. ”

Little Pat said politely, and Achilles immediately led him to the bathroom, and then went upstairs to his room to find a dress about the size of his dress.

Although little Pat is a year older than him, fortunately, the two of them are about the same size, and they don't worry about whether they can wear it.

Going downstairs with her clothes, Thetis was sitting at the huge table in the hall, and when she saw Achilles coming down, she immediately beckoned him to come over.

"What's the matter? Mom. ”

Thetis squinted her eyes, and there was a hint of a smile on her face, "Achilles, what the hell did little Pat get on him?"

As soon as Thetis opened her eyes just now, she felt that something was wrong, although little Pat's body was very dirty, but the shoe prints were very clear.

Achilles' heart jumped, "Yes......"

Originally, he wanted to say that he really fell, but suddenly remembered the lesson he had learned to himself at the Milmidon Ranch a few months ago.

The last of these is – never cheat on your mom!

"Yes...... I just ...... with someone There was a fight. After a little inner struggle, Achilles still stubbornly told the truth.

"I'll just say it. Surprisingly, Thetis was not angry.

There's not a trace of expression on Thetis's face, "You're going to bully people?"

"No, no, no. Achilles hurriedly waved his hand to show his innocence.

Thetis's eyebrows rose suddenly, "You've been bullied?!!"

"Well, not really. Achilles was stunned for a moment, Mom's tone seemed to be a little, a little wrong?

"That's fine. Thetis shook her head slightly, her long, wavy blue hair swaying like a wave.

"I'll go up to bed first, and you and little Pat will play at home. ”

"Oh...... Oh good. ”

Achilles breathed a sigh of relief. Although I don't know why Theses let him go so lightly, it's a good thing that he wasn't beaten.

Achilles walked towards the bathroom with his clothes, where little Pat had taken off his dirty coat and was hesitating to take a shower with cold water in a bucket.

"Patroclus, what are you doing?"

Little Pat glanced back at Achilles, took the clothes from his hand, and asked, "Achilles, is there hot water, the cold water seems to be a little too cold." ”

"Hot water?" thought about it, and it seemed that the weather was quite cold now, but Achilles always bathed in cold water.

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen and cook some for you. "After thinking about it, I still have to boil some hot water.

"Is there any lunch left in the kitchen?" said the word kitchen, and little Pat's stomach began to crow again.

"I guess there is. Achilles was also a little unsure if there was any.

"Then let's go eat first, I'm so hungry. ”

Achilles went to the kitchen with little Pat, but fortunately there was still a lot left for lunch, after all, Thetis did not have much appetite.

Little Pat gobbled up the fish and the meat, it was already afternoon, but he was starving.

Achilles went to the bathroom to bring a few buckets of water to boil, while little Pat stood by and worked hard to "fight".

"Patroclus, where do you and Aunt Philo live now?"

Little Pat stopped, tried to swallow the food in his mouth, and after a long pause, he said, "It's at the back of the thatched hut, the first one." ”

"You still want to live in a thatched house?" Achilleston was a little surprised, how could Menotio say that he was also one of the high-ranking members of the kingdom, and Makaon actually didn't arrange a better house for him.

"Yes, some people said that they wanted to change rooms and live in the tribe, but my father said that the conditions here are very poor, so I won't bother them. ”

So that's the case, Achilles nodded in realization. He remembered that in the morning Macaon said that he was going to arrange a house for Little Pat's family, and if it was a thatched house, there was no need to make special arrangements.

After eating and bathing, little Pat soaked his dirty clothes in the water, picked them up and prepared to go home.

It's still early to get dark in spring, don't look at the sun outside now, it may not be dark in a while.

"You go back with a blue nose and a swollen face, Aunt Philo won't be angry, right?" Achilles was still a little worried, "or I'll go back with you." ”

"No, I'll just say I was beaten and I didn't fight. Little Pat said indifferently, completely forgetting the punch he had made.

Achilles accompanied little Pat out and said to the guards outside the courtyard, "This is my friend Patroclus, don't stop him if he comes to me in the future." ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince. The guards responded in unison.

"Achilles, I'll go back first. ”

Seeing little Pat go out, Achilles was thinking about the group of manic children, who didn't learn well at a young age, and it seemed necessary to ask Makaang.

When it was time for dinner in the evening, Peleus and Macaon came back together.

While Thetis was still sleeping, Peleus went up to see her, but did not wake her.

Fortunately, there was no need for Thetis to cook, and the maid of the Macaon family had already brought dinner, and went to the kitchen to remove the rest of the lunch at noon.

"Macaon, I said you don't have to waste it so much, do you?" looked at the large table of dishes, Peleston was a little confused, "It's just a meal, not a sacrifice." ”

"That's as it should be, as it should be. Makaon stole a glance at the floor with his gray beard, then quickly withdrew his gaze.

Peleston realized that for Macaon, there was Thetis, and every meal was a sacrifice.

"It's said you don't have to, Thetis doesn't value it. Peleus said a little helplessly.

Macaon also knew that Peleus was telling the truth, but years of habit had made him cautious and unwilling to make mistakes.

"Don't talk about that. Macaon waved his hand to indicate that he did not want to continue the topic, "Peleus, as for the plan I told you earlier to break up the tribe, you need to prepare as soon as possible. ”

"I understand that when the construction of the city begins, I will immediately have people mobilize residents from all over the country. Peleus nodded, indicating that he knew what to do.

"Uh...... What does it mean to break up the tribe?"

After hesitating for a moment, Achilles, who was sitting next to him to eat, still asked.
