Volume 2 The Beginning of a Legend Chapter 7 The Mysterious Man Who Awakened

Betty racked her brains and didn't understand what the man meant by the dream words, so she simply gave up thinking and hurried to do something else.

Tending to a man in a coma is indeed an exhausting job, but that's not a reason for Betty to be lazy.

Although Betty's parents asked her to take care of the man before leaving home, Betty was left with no less chores.

Betty left the room, hurriedly washed the spoon and bowl after eating, cleaned the house, the water tank in the house was also bottomed out, there was no water to drink, Betty hurriedly carried the heavy bucket to the well in the middle of the village to fetch water.

"Hey!" Betty struggled to carry the bucket, panting and slowly returning home, but it was not easy, when to have an iron bucket, I heard that the nobles in the nearby town used this kind of bucket.

In this case, I don't know how happy the servants of the noble family are, they should be able to fetch and carry water much easier!

Betty imagined the extravagant life of the aristocracy, holding a bucket in one hand and opening the door in the other.

At this moment, a hand reached out from her side and took the bucket from Betty's hand.

"Let me do it, why is this bucket so heavy!"

"Thank you!" Betty didn't think much of it, she just wanted to sit in her chair and drink a glass of water.

"No, there is no one at home at all, how can someone help her carry a bucket, there will be no thieves in the house!"

Thinking of this, Betty jumped up from her chair and tried to open the door and escape.

At this time, a gentle male voice came, "Don't be nervous, stand here first and see who I am?"

Betty involuntarily looked into the distance, only to notice a man with his back to her, pouring water from a bucket into the water tank at home.

When the man turned around, Betty couldn't help but suddenly realize, "It's you! Why did you wake up?"

It turned out that the person in front of Betty was a mysterious man who was still asleep before.

The man had come to his senses at some point, and was looking at her kindly.

Betty saw that the man woke up so early, and felt genuinely happy, Betty was originally ready to take care of the man for ten days and half a month, but now he can return to normal, Betty is also very happy.

The man looked at Betty and smiled, took out a glass of water from a spoon in the water tank, and handed it to Betty, who wanted to drink it.

Betty couldn't help but be a little flustered, "How is this good, you are a guest at home, and you personally went to the water tank to fetch water for me to drink, I'm really embarrassed." ”

The man still smiled, and forcibly put the water cup in Betty's hand, Betty could not refuse him, as if she were a guest, so she had to hold the water cup in both hands and drink it with some restraint.

Betty covered her face with a water glass, revealing only a pair of eyes to peek at the man sitting in another chair, seeing that the man was still looking at her, Betty immediately felt a little blushing, and hurriedly asked what she thought in her heart,

"By the way, this, this man, what is your name? I never know what to call you!"

"My name is Russell!"

"Oh, your name is Russell, isn't it, it's a really nice name!" Betty suddenly felt a little embarrassed after saying these words, she was really a fool, what was she doing by saying these things, it seemed that she was very stupid.

Russell didn't care about Betty's answer, he had just woken up from his slumber, and he didn't know anything about it here, but these were small things, and the lucky thing was that he was still alive and fell into the spatial turbulence, and then he was able to walk normally, which was a very lucky thing.

Betty saw Russell's silence and immediately stopped talking, after all, she didn't know what to say to Russell in her own heart.

Russell looked around at the environment of the house, it was very simple, and it was very old, and it was a very old house, which confirmed that the owner of the house was also a poor family.

As far as the eye can see, there are holes in the roof of various sizes, and when it rains, the roof must be leaking, and the room is a table and a rickety chair except for the bed, and even Russell's hometown does not have such a poor family.

However, Russell could also sense Betty's concern, and his instincts told him that the diminutive little girl in front of him was the one who rescued him.

However, Russell didn't know anything about this place now, and he had to go out and ask the local chief to find out where he was.

In this way, Russell decided to go out to inquire about the situation, but Russell looked down at the tattered clothes he was wearing, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Betty finally found a topic to talk to Russell, and she immediately jumped up from her chair and assured Russell,

"Russell, you don't have to worry about running out of clothes to wear, I'll go to my father's room and pick out a suitable dress for you. ”

Betty then didn't care whether Russell agreed or not, and immediately ran to her father's room to find clothes suitable for Russell.

After some time, Betty picked out all but the neatest clothes from her father's room, and rushed to Russell to show him the clothes.

"This 。。。。。。 Russell looked at the patched garment in front of him, the collar had faded, and the old style did not dare to compliment.

And the most important thing is that the size of the dress does not match his size at all, and Russell has to force the dress on in order not to dampen Betty's kindness.

It's just that after Russell put it on, he found that he was ridiculously like a child who stole the clothes of adults.

Even Betty sensed that something was wrong, and she stood in place in embarrassment, not knowing how to face Russell who was smiling wryly.

Russell took off the clothes on his body, changed into his original tattered clothes, and comforted Betty with a smile,

"Betty, don't be discouraged, I'm not too strong, it's not your fault! Forget it, I'll wear this costume and go to the village steward to ask him, Betty, do you know where this person is?"

This sentence made Betty have an idea, and she remembered the most important person in the village, isn't he the village chief's grandfather?

Betty just remembered that the village chief's grandfather's house seemed to have a dress that fit Russell's body.

That dress is said to have been specially bought by the village chief's grandfather in order to participate in the birthday of the nobles in the town, and the grandfather is usually reluctant to wear it!

Betty put her father's clothes back and happily suggested to Russell: "Russell, I know where there are clothes that suit you, the village chief's grandfather's house has them, and he is also the most authoritative person in our village!"

Seeing Russell nod in agreement, Betty happily left the house with Russell in tattered clothes.

In fact, the distance between Betty's house and the village chief's house is not far, and it can be completed in a few minutes.

It's just that Russell stopped and stopped along the way, stopping in place from time to time to carefully observe the surrounding environment, and there were words in his mouth, which made Betty feel inexplicable.

It took a quarter of an hour for Betty and Russell to reach the chief's house, where he was sitting in the middle of the yard drying the crops!

"Grandpa the village chief, I'm here. ”

Betty's shout shifted the village chief's attention to Betty and Russell standing in the doorway.

"It's 。。。。。。 The village chief looked at the strange Russell and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Oh, it's the man that Betty carried home yesterday afternoon, right?

At this moment, the village chief did not delay too much, stood up on crutches, and invited the two people at the door to enter the room.

Russell secretly observed the scene in the room, and he found that the situation in the village chief's house was much better than Betty's, and in any case, at least the village chief's house was still neat and clean like that of an ordinary peasant.

When both sides sat down on the chairs, the village chief finally spoke out about his problem,

"What's your name, this guest?"

"Dear village chief, down there is a name for Russell. ”

"Oh, oh, Russell, yes! It's a good name, not quite like a peasant's name, I don't know where you come from, Lord Russell, why are you lying in the woods in the mountains, all black and dusty?"

Russell smiled wryly when he heard this, it was no wonder that the village chief asked him so much, if he met a mysterious person, and he still appeared nearby inexplicably, a normal person would also be strange about this person's identity.

However, Russell didn't know where he was now, and he couldn't know if the forces of the abyss were still around her, so for his own safety, he could only tell a white lie.

"Village Chief, I am a wandering knight from afar, I was struck by lightning in a desperate battle with bandits, and I came to the woods on this mountain for some reason, and you all know the facts after that, in fact, I don't know why I appeared on a strange mountain. ”

The village chief nodded when he heard this, slowly touching his snow-white beard, and the village chief was also thinking about Russell's narration in his heart, and he found that Russell did not pause at all when he spoke, and there was no slight hesitation on his face, which proved that Russell most likely did not lie to him.

It's just that according to his long-term life experience, this mysterious man named Russell should have hidden something from him, but judging by his appearance as a decent gentleman, he should not be a treacherous captive.

Therefore, the village chief touched his snow-white beard and explained to Russell with a smile: "Young man, don't blame the old man for asking you so many questions, now that the world has changed, there are thieves everywhere, and it is my responsibility to protect the villagers in the village as the head of the village." ”

After that, the village chief poured a glass of wine for Russell with a smile, and smiled at the flattered Russell: "Please don't refuse, okay, this is the rule of our village, as long as you drink the wine in our village, it means that you have become a friend of our village!"

Since it was all said and done, Russell no longer shirked, picked up the wine glass and drank it directly, and after drinking, the two laughed and hugged each other like old friends.

It wasn't until the two of them sat down separately that the village chief asked Russell with a smile,

"I don't know Your Excellency Russell, what did you come to me to ask about?"

Russell just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Betty, who was left out in the cold and couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.

"What you say is not as important as what I want to say, what I want to say to the village chief and grandpa is that Russell needs suitable clothes to wear, so can the village chief and grandpa lend you the clothes you wore to the banquet for Russell to wear!"

The village chief heard Betty's request, and his smiling expression immediately stiffened.

"This, this clothes, cough cough cough!"

"Grandpa the village chief, what's wrong with you, why do you cough suddenly, did you catch a cold last night? Grandpa the village chief, you are old now, you should pay attention to your body. ”
