Chapter 57: Baron Barney's horse is dead

Early the next morning.

Chen Lun left the small manor without breakfast.

- because last night's food hasn't been digested yet.

"It feels good to go to work in a horse-drawn carriage."

Chen Lun sighed in the carriage.

The roads in the inner city are paved and don't bump into each other, making it feel much better than riding in a horse-drawn carriage before.

Soon the carriage arrived at the gates of the Pompeii estate.

Chen Lun instructed the coachman to come back and wait here at night.

The coachman nodded, bowed, and drove away.

There was a maid at the door who had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw Chen Lun get out of the carriage, she opened the door a little distance for him to enter.

The door was too heavy, and it was a bit difficult for the maid to open it all.

"Mr. Jack, Viscount Pompeii is having breakfast. He said you can come with him if you come early. ”

Walking to the door of the villa, Binoz said to Chen Lun.

"No, I've eaten it. Thank you for my kindness, Lord Viscount, Steward of Binoz. ”

Chen Lun nodded and replied politely.

"Then please wait in the living room for a moment, Miss Rebecca's nature class will begin at ten o'clock."

Binoz led Chen Lun to sit on the sofa in the living room, and then said hello and left.

Watching the old housekeeper's back disappear into the corner of the living room, Chen Lun looked at the environment here boredly.

There are many framed paintings, mostly oil paintings, hanging on the walls.

I don't know if it's because people like it in this era, or because of Viscount Pompey's own preferences.

As soon as the time was just after nine o'clock, Chen Lun heard the sound of rapid wheels rolling.

Rebecca pushed her wheelchair alone and came to him.

"Whew...... Good morning! Mr. Jack! ”

She looked excited, and her dress and makeup seemed to have been deliberately dressed, and she looked better than she had been yesterday.

"Good morning, Miss Rebecca."

Chen Lun got up, took off his top hat and prepared to salute.

saw Rebecca take off her white lace gloves first, and handed her hand over with a whoosh.

He was slightly stunned, and then saw Rebecca blushing and looking at him expectantly.

"You're beautiful today, but this dress may not be appropriate for my nature lesson."

Chen Lun took Rebecca's small hand and kissed the back of her finger.

Rebecca didn't hear him.

He kissed me!

Did he smell the perfume I deliberately sprayed on my hands today?

Wouldn't it be too pungent?

"Ahem!"

Madame Pompeii coughed twice and strode over.

"Good morning, Madame Pompeii."

"Good morning, Mr. Jack."

After greeting each other in a friendly manner, Madame Pompey said to Chen Lun:

"Hearing your arrival, Rebecca didn't finish her breakfast and came in her wheelchair."

As he spoke, he squinted at Rebecca.

Rebecca was not afraid, and glared back.

"Ah, I'm sorry about that, it seems that Miss Rebecca is too eager to learn."

Chen Lun pretended to apologize, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"In that case, can we start today's lesson?"

"Uh-huh!"

Rebecca nodded, pushing her wheelchair and running out of her wheelchair, despite her mother's staring.

Seeing this, the old butler of Binoz hurriedly followed, worried that she would tripped over the steps when she went out of the door.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Lun sat on a chair under the parasol and told Rebecca about his views on nature.

To be honest, he actually has a lot of feelings about this aspect.

Whether it's the experience of exploring the map alone in the past, or the understanding after becoming an animal tamer.

“…… Animals are an integral part of nature, you look at this snake. ”

He pointed to a poisonous snake on the table and talked eloquently.

Rebecca's face was pale with fright, and she shrunk back in her chair, not daring to move.

The green scales shone in the sunlight, and the tiny body was coiled together, raising its little head to stare at her.

"It'...... It's staring at me! ”

Rebecca said in a trembling voice.

"Oh no, it's just a fake snake, as I said, prop."

Chen Lun grabbed the poisonous snake and put it in the palm of his hand.

"You see, it doesn't bite. Don't be afraid, Miss Rebecca, come and feel it. ”

"Ahh

Chen Lun grabbed Rebecca's hand and gently put it on the poisonous snake.

Cool and textured.

Rebecca slowly opened her eyes, a look of surprise on her face.

"Really...... But it's so realistic, it's amazing. ”

The Viscount of Pompeii, who was not far away, glanced at his wife beside him uneasily.

"Is that really a fake snake?"

"Yes, Binoz has already checked."

Pompey explained.

"And Mr. Jack is a scholar, not a madman, and no one will put a viper in his pocket."

As she spoke, she turned her attention to Chen Lun again.

The brunette youth has a charm when he lectures, and it's no wonder that his daughter, Rebecca, likes him.

Chen Lun finished talking about each part of the poisonous snake's body one by one, as well as its habits and origins.

Rebecca looked abrupt and adoring.

She had never taken a class so seriously, although she didn't like this knowledge, but after Chen Lun's mouth said it, she kept it firmly in her heart.

It's just that what she didn't see was that when Chen Lun stuffed the "fake snake" into his pocket without a trace, it "accidentally" fell onto the lawn.

It was like a drop of green water that fell into a sea of green and disappeared without a trace.

This scene was also unnoticed by Binoz and the Viscountess Pompeii.

"Let's let it check out the backyard first......"

Chen Lun thought to himself.

"Hey! Be careful!! ”

Suddenly a shout was heard.

Chen Lun looked up, and a brown horse rushed out from the other side of the garden.

It ran wildly, rampage, and was followed by a valet who was desperately chasing.

"Ahh

Rebecca screamed.

The Viscounts of Pompeii and the Butler of Binoz were both surprised.

Because they saw that the horse rushed directly towards the place where the parasol was! If she gets hit, Rebecca's life is definitely in danger!

"Stop it!"

Viscount Pompeii roared.

But it's too late.

With a loud ping-pong bang, the horses knocked over tables and chairs, knocked over parasols, and then crashed into Rebecca.

Boom!!

After a muffled sound, there was a dead silence.

"Rebecca!"

The Pompeys hurriedly ran over.

The fallen parasol blocked their view and way, so they had to spare a circle to the back.

The hearts of the two were beating wildly, for fear of seeing their daughter's bloody and miserable situation.

But what caught my eye was Mr. Jack standing with Rebecca on his feet, and the corpse of a bloody horse was lying on the ground.

"Oh, thank goodness Rebecca you're okay."

Madame Pompeii nervously stepped forward and hugged Rebecca.

"Thank you for the protection of the sun."

"No, Mom, you should thank Mr. Jack for saving me."

Rebecca was surprisingly unfazed and calmly said to Madame Pompey.

Her words were also heard by Viscount Pompeii and Steward Binoz, and everyone looked at Chen Lun with a look of surprise.

A "thin" young man subdued a runaway steed?

Are you kidding!

They just thought that Chen Lun pulled Rebecca to avoid the collision at the critical moment, and the horse happened to die violently and collapsed.

Only then can it be explained.

"The horse was given something strange, causing it to go insane and eventually die of a broken heart."

Chen Lun crouched down and examined the horse's corpse before explaining, which made them more convinced of their guess.

Only Rebecca knows that it was indeed Mr. Jack who subdued Crazy Horse and saved her.

At that moment, her eyes widened in fear, and she saw with her own eyes that Mr. Jack stepped forward and stood in front of her.

Only one hand was stretched out, like a fly, and the Crazy Horse was swatted to the ground.

When she came to her senses, she couldn't believe it.

Is he an angel?

No!

He's my knight!

Chen Lun quietly made a boo gesture to Rebecca, who blinked knowingly.

Don't worry, Mr. Jack!

It's a secret for both of us!

"What's the matter with this horse!?"

Viscount Pompeii had a calm face and questioned the long-overdue valet.

"Lord Viscount, I ...... I don't know very well. ”

Looking at Viscount Pompeii's dangerous eyes, the valet swallowed.

"Actually, it went on a rampage some time ago, but I don't know the specific reason."

"When?"

The valet glanced at Rebecca.

"The last time Miss Rebecca secretly rode it to school......"

Viscount Pompeii frowned.

The last time Rebecca broke her leg, was it because the horse went crazy?

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, Rebecca just broke her leg last time.

Viscount Pompeii suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be right for him, but he didn't care too much.

Then he asked with a straight face:

"Where did this horse come from?"

"Yes, you brought it back from Baron Barney's house, Lord Viscount!"

Viscount Pompeii's face froze.

He remembered that he had asked for the horse from his friend Barney.

Damn it!
