Chapter 236: I Can't Tell Anything
Master Aemon's eyes are blind, but his heart is open! He can hear emotions in everyone's voice, and he can dig into their innermost thoughts, even if they deliberately hide them, it is useless. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info plus he is well-informed, knowledgeable, and proficient in human affairs, so Zhao Mai once thought that Master Aemon would have psychic abilities, or the kind of master-level ability to see through people's hearts.
He always had a quiet smile on his face: the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, his eyes were closed into a slit, and the wrinkles on his forehead were stretched. He likes to bask in the sun the most, saying that he likes to feel the hot touch, and it is said that the dragon has such a heat. So, not long after the sun came out, he asked Zhao Mai to move him to the window, bask in the sun, and shake on the chair.
"You can read the books here, but remember to put them back in their places. I can't see with my eyes, and if you mess around, I won't find it. The old man sniffed, then raised his withered hand and waved. "Alas, why is it beet soup today, I haven't seen him improve after eating it for so many years. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Mai put down the book in his hand, took out the purple gold gourd, and poured out a golden pill from it. "Master Aemon, I'll give you a snack, Jelly Bean!"
The old man pointed to his open mouth and let Zhao Mai put it in, not worrying about being poisoned or anything. Jindan melts in the mouth, and the sweet flavor overflows the mouth. The old man let out a long sigh of relief, "Well, that's what it tastes like." ”
"It's good if you're happy. Zhao Mai thought the oil lamp was too dim, so he twisted it with his fingers, then blew into the palm of his hand, and used his psychic ability to create a glowing floating ball. This will not only smoke the eyes, but also make the words in the book more clear.
He was reading a book called "The Beliefs of the Ancestors", which tells the story of the time when the ancestors came to Westeros through a bridge formed by trees under the sea. How they dealt with the children of the forest, how they learned from them the faith, how they learned how to live with nature. What is rare is that the writing of the book is vivid and interesting, and it is not boring to read.
Castle Black has ten times as many books as Eagle's Nest, and many of the books are thousands of years old. The weather here is very cold, and there are no insects and rats. The historic Night's Watch has always lived here, and Castle Black has never been breached, so it won't be hurt by war. The bits and pieces of the generations have come together, so that this place has finally become an ocean of knowledge.
Zhao Mai selected some books from them to read, mainly records of magic, dragons, and runes in ancient times. The text used in it was different from the one used in Westeros today, but with the help of the "readable, audible, and speakable" language literacy tools, he could understand the meaning smoothly. Master Aemon didn't know this, and thought he had been reading the historical records left behind in modern times.
Another major direction of reading is the study of medicine, or the study of the human body. This is not Zhao Mai's profession, he only has some "medical skills" that he hears and reads (mainly on the Internet), which can be used as a topic for chatting, and murder when used to treat diseases...... Master Eamon's medical skills are not as good as modern medical abilities, but there is no problem with them for enlightenment.
Especially in the treatment of trauma, frostbite, and cold, combined with the unique flora, fauna, and minerals of Westeros, some of Master Emon's prescriptions are quite effective. No one's wisdom should be underestimated, even if their food is extremely poor......
"You eat this all day long?" Zhao Mai looked at his bowl of soup, how did he think it was okay. It is said that there are potatoes, beets, mutton, and cheese inside, but Zhao Mai can't tell them apart from the appearance at all. I tasted it, well, not from the taste either. It is said that the highest level of the cafeteria is to fry all the dishes into one taste, but it is not said that it can destroy the basic structure of the substance, and even the shape becomes the same.
"Sam hasn't come back, this one is for Master Aemon, you should hurry up and bring it while it's hot. Gregory, who was chewing tobacco in his mouth, was already immune to everyone's complaints, and waved his hand to drive Zhao Mai away. "Next!" he shouted.
Chef Aemon's dinner is much more exquisite, at least Zhao Mai can see that it is pumpkin and chicken porridge, which looks and tastes good. This shows that they have the ability to cook well, so why do they want to cook it so that they can't see anything and taste nothing?
On the way, he met the chief of general affairs, Bowen Marcy, and Zhao Mai raised the question. Sir Marthy was a little embarrassed, but replied, "Sometimes, supplies are not sufficient, and it is better for people not to know what to eat." ”
Zhao Mai was in awe, the terrible canteen still had such an effect. Marven's face turned red, and he said to Zhao Mai: "I went to see Master Yimeng before, and he praised you very much. He said there was a letter from King's Landing, asking me to ask you for it. ”
"Oh, no problem. Zhao Mai took out the letter he was carrying and handed it to him. "Originally, Master Aemon said that I should wait for the commander-in-chief to come back and hand it over to him. ”
"The situation has changed, and I happened to come to Master Aemon to report this matter before. ”
"Can you tell me?"
Bowen thought for a moment, and then said, "Anyway, you live here, it's almost the same if you're not a night watchman, and sooner or later you'll know, so it's okay to tell you." But no matter what the news is, just listen to it, don't spread it. ”
"I thought I had ears and my mouth froze. Zhao Mai agreed.
"The young man who went to the other side of the Wall to take the oath found the body, belonging to a few of our missing Ranger brothers. About half a year before you came, Chief Ranger Banyan Stark and his eight brothers went north to scout, but never returned. Now it seems that the bodies of three of them have been found, right in the Heart Grove. The commander is to bring people to check the situation. I just received a message from there that the corpse is in a strange state, and I'm going to show it to Master Aemon. ”
"I can take Master Aemon to the other side of the Wall. ”
"How can you let the master trek hard?" Bowen frowned and shook his head: "The commander will bring the body back." ”
"Okay......" Zhao Mai's plan didn't succeed again. "By the way, why don't you read what the letter says?"
"What can it be?" Bowen opened the rolled-up letterhead, and after reading two lines, his whole face was red as if it were hot, and his eyes were wide and round, almost jumping out of his sockets: "I'll it......! I'm going to have to go over there and wait for the Commander-in-Chief, and let him know as soon as possible. ”
"Can I go with you?" Zhao Mai said, "I also want to see the Commander's expression." ”
"Think beautifully!" Bowen pointed to the bowl in Zhao Mai's hand, and said angrily: "Hurry up and send the rice to Master Eamon, don't want to run around!"
"Am I cursed, just don't let me cross the Great Wall...... Zhao Mai held the rice bowl, muttered non-stop, and climbed the wooden stairs step by step, towards the place where Master Yimeng lived. Reserve grain followed him, wagging his tail and licking his mouth, as if he couldn't tell anything about the soup. (To be continued.) )
