"It's over! Finished! Karl, a former wool bag buyer, lay on his bed and chirped, "It's all over!" The government will definitely come and raid my house soon, and it will cut us down, ouch, ouch, it's all the former vicar Woolf, who hooked me up with the remnants of the previous dynasty and made a big mistake, and now that he has voted for the new archbishop, he will bring someone to raid my house soon, ouch, ouch, how is this so good! The new government is going to kill! I'm going to use the knife! The knife is going to hit my neck! Ouch, ouch......"

"My dear, things are not so bad, you have done nothing, you are just whining with your friends, and the benevolent archbishop will not do anything to us because of this......" Mrs. Hattie always tried to comfort her husband in person, no matter how she wiped her tears behind her back. She didn't really know what was going on with her husband "hooking up with the remnants of the former dynasty", because she didn't know about her husband's letter of allegiance to the exiled royal family, but it took several days to learn from her husband the cause of his sudden illness, and she had to reluctantly find some excuses to comfort him.

"No, no, you don't understand, now we're all done, they won't let us go." When the matter came, how could he only discuss with his wife, in the past, those who cursed the new government together, why didn't any of the good friends of Nanwang Wangshi come to visit? Karl is sad, an ignorant little woman like her, knows what a crime it is to "hook up with the remnants of the former dynasty" so far? It was for this crime that the Great Monastery was killed! Even the great monastery of great fame was said to be extinguished, and did not survive for an hour after the order of the new government (as is usually an exaggeration), a small, semi-retired former merchant like him. Can you still turn over the five finger mountains of the Buddha?

"We donate some money to the church so that they will be free from our sins. Isn't it okay, isn't it true that all kinds of sins can be atonement with gold? Compared to life. What is money? ”

"Woo~~~ What you said is reasonable, why didn't I think of it!" This sentence relieved Karl slightly, but then he remembered one more thing, "When the archbishop was the new bishop of Turnest, he refused to take my money, and took back my permission to buy a bag, and he did not accept my gold coins at that time, and now he is more and more elevated, and my idea of wealth." People don't pay attention to it! ”

"Well, the venerable archbishop has received your wool monopoly license, and you can sell it to others at a high price, and he won't take our money this time, what else can he sell to others?"

"Ah, you're saying that I'm confused." So Karl remembered to eat, and Mrs. Hatty asked the kitchen to cook a little milk porridge and stew a young turtledove. Feed him little by little, and he will eat it all, and at the end, he will eat two more boiled eggs. A few nuts and a little wine. In the evening, I had a full dinner with wine and meat, and in the morning I thought about going to church. He ate less, and after the meal he put on a hat and a coat and brought a servant. I went to the government to inquire about the way.

After he left home, Mrs. Hatty also took her faithful maid and a pair of children to the church to pray. She was in a trance-like that day, and the city of Turnest was no worse than before, full of strangers and carriages, and she was almost hit several times, which caused little Hattie to exclaim several times: "Mom! It's all right! ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Mrs. Hatty smiled wryly and said to her daughter that she could not tell her young and ignorant daughter what she was thinking. She always thought that she would be the wife of a wealthy merchant, like her mother and other little women in the family, living a life of no freedom and human rights in the narrow world between the home and the church, but a life of material abundance and stability than most people in this era. Even if her husband lost his job as a contractor, their family business was enough for them to live, in fact, before losing the errand, she still persuaded her husband to accept the business as soon as possible because she felt that her husband was working hard. After losing her errand, life is not as rich as before, but she can also get by, there are carriages and horses to go out, and there are servants at home to serve, which is much stronger than those peasant workers who feel that they have become rich with the light of the new era and even ordinary shopkeepers, she looks forward, and only feels that life is not more difficult than in the past, only the family affairs of the children are more difficult than before, but she should still be able to cope with her own dowry and jewelry, how does she know that her husband will be charged with a big crime because of "hooking up with the remnants of the previous dynasty"?

Earlier, she had been so frightened that she had collapsed on the bed when she heard her husband curse the archbishop, but when the disaster came, she was calmer than her husband, for she had a pair of children to worry about. She is weak and incompetent as a wife, but as a mother, she has her strength: "It's really not good, it's okay to give all the family property!" We can go to Cattelan and go to my sister, and the days under the fence will be sad, but she will not watch us starve, there is always a way......"

Her son Charlie Jr., who was striding in front, didn't know his mother's distress, he was still worrying about his own thoughts, all the friends he knew had joined the army, only he wanted to join the army of the new government because of his family. Needless to say, his father's attitude would stop him with tears because she was afraid of his father's roar.

He had wanted to take advantage of this mobilization to say goodbye without saying goodbye, and he had a happy dream - he could visit friends or hunt so that his parents would not be suspicious for a while, and by the time they realized that something was wrong he was already on board. Now that his father was able to eat and drink, he had nothing to do except talk about the orthodox government (in this sense, he was much more mentally healthy and normal than before he fell ill), and he remembered that he had missed this great opportunity in vain, and his heart secretly stumbled, and now that the opportunity could not be lost, the time would not come, and he could only drag this tall and sturdy body to church with his mother's skirt, how could he not let him regret it?

"Alas, my father's illness was probably to bluff me and tell me not to run away, if I had gone to sea at that time, I might have made war achievements and become an officer! I was stronger than my friends! "There's no training. Little Charlie, who has no experience in following the rules in the factory, will run away from home and join the army this time. will not be selected for the expeditionary force, but it has always been cared for by their parents, carefree young people. It's always on the bright side.

The Karl family, a former wool bag buyer, walked on two opposite paths with four minds.

And at this time, Luo Yi's seasickness has improved a lot, the weather at sea is good, and she is also climbing on the deck to watch the sea like others, and the sea is really worth seeing! The so-called "flat as a mirror" is, of course, an exaggerated statement by the captain who is used to the sea, but even Luo Yi, who has never been to the sea, admits that the wind and waves at sea are indeed not big, but she is a little dizzy when she looks at it......

When she got a little more used to it, she noticed that the boat was very lively. "What are they doing?"

It turns out that the Neustrian navy has inadvertently sailed into the migratory fish, and those who have never seen the migratory fish cannot imagine such a grand occasion, "you can step on the back of the fish from this side of the strait to the other side of the strait" is an exaggeration, but experienced sailors can judge the direction of the fish from the oil splashes on the sea surface from afar (the oily fish will even float on the sea when they pass through the sea), and of course, the seabirds that swoop into the sea from time to time and quack with excitement undoubtedly point out the direction of the fish to the sailors.

This abundant catch was a considerable resource in ancient times, and because the Church prescribed many fasts, aquatic products became a great deal of business. The amount of fish in the river is limited, and some monasteries have their own fish farming, but the largest is the pickled sea fish. Place the small fish in a bucket and spread a layer of salt. Spread another layer of small fish and close the barrel to keep it from rotting for several years. You can cook and eat bread - it was a big business in the Middle Ages. Many once-prosperous cities were built on this small salted fish, which some writers call "the silver of the sea". Although that tastes ...... Luo Yi felt that it was only better than Adair Francis's hometown delicious, and she could still pinch her nose and endure it (not her mouth!). food.

However, today's excitement does not come from the fish, but from the birds in the sky.

"Medium!"

With this shout, I saw a black-winged and red-billed seabird with an arrow shaft and a green onion falling into the gray waves of the sea, and the audience was so excited that they slapped their hands vigorously: "It's amazing, it's amazing!" Another one! ”

"Small!" The amber-eyed former pirate leader turned back to the crowd clapping at him and smiled, the pirates who begged for a living on the sea, fishing and birds were all housekeepers, their longships could hold a month's food, but who would refuse to nibble on dried fish for a fresh snack? Moreover, this kind of archery skill was also the only tactical means in naval warfare at that time, except for impact and jumping gang white-knuckle combat.

"Look at me!" Francis drew his bow and shot, only to see the arrow go away like a meteor, and a seabird with white feathers and yellow beak fluttered its wings and loaded into the sea, "Good! The onlookers also did not hesitate to applaud the beautiful recruitment billboard - if this hand could be filmed and played on the streets, there would be more people supporting the new army, the Great Demon King thought so, but she also knew that it was impossible, but she also thought that the story passed down by word of mouth from the onlookers might be more legendary and exciting......

"I want it too!" While one of the soldiers next to him drew his bow in the excitement, the seabirds were so frightened by the successive losses that they could only pause the sudden game and wait for the forgetful flock to lose its vigilance again, and send itself to the hunters because of its greed for the fish.

"Birds die for food, and the ancients don't deceive me." Luo Yi suddenly came up with such a sentence in his mind, she saw a few sailors put down the boat and went to the sea to catch the downed birds, but suddenly took the javelin prepared on the boat and poked it into the sea, not understanding what was happening, until she saw a large area of blood spread on the sea, and the sailors happily cheered and pulled a fat greedy mouth seal that wanted to eat seabirds onto the boat, "Pick up a big bird, it's a good omen!" ”

This is not a good sign for Luo Yi Great Demon King, but the people on the boat are very happy, not to mention anything else, this accidental hunting competition has harvested hundreds of catties of fresh meat and fat, which is definitely an unexpected harvest. The only fly in the ointment is that some seal meat tastes so-so, but the meat of the seals they hunt is notoriously unpalatable, even if they are used to eating Luo Yi's ancient natives who seem to belong to the level of dark cuisine, they would rather gnaw on their hard and hard bread and meat that God knows how many years it has been stored than to starve to death.

"Pickle them, we'll always have some captives, keep them and feed them." Adair frowned and gave such an order, with his lifestyle, he couldn't think of such a way to use it to fertilize the field for the time being, but Luo Yi felt that feeding the captives sounded better than using it to fertilize the fields, maybe people in later generations would think that the captives of the Great Demon King had been treated quite humanely, "and meat to eat"! (To be continued......)
