Chapter 27: Wait
From late June to mid-July, the entire Westside was busy.
Wherever there are villages and farms, almost all of them are golden, and the peasants wield short scythes in their hands and sweat like rain in the fields.
The carrots that the Arias family had planted were now harvesting as well.
Obviously, the radishes in the field are growing well, but this year's output is quite down compared with previous years.
And this gap is not temporary, but will continue forever, and it is not known when it will be filled.
When Yin Leiya was patrolling several of the family's farms, the expression on her face was always serious.
It wasn't until she heard the news that the Pablo knight had returned, that the girl's expression relaxed a little, and then she hurried back in a carriage at the first time.
Since Alfred took the teacup castle with only three people, the Pablo knights, who were originally responsible for guarding the castle, felt shameless and continued to work, coupled with a personal grudge with Alfred, so he simply went back to concentrate on running his own manor.
However, Yin Leia, the new head of the family, has too few people available at hand, and not long ago, she experienced the escape of the Purple Finchite Knight, which caused the girl to generally distrust those who came with the Purple Finch.
So after thinking about it again, I invited Pablo, an old man who had served the Arias family for many years, to come out again to do things.
Miss Rabbit's first assignment to Pablo was to take someone to Rock Snow City to receive from the Marquis of Cullen the Wettin family exiled to the West.
Pablo set out about twenty days ago, and although he experienced some twists and turns, he finally completed his mission and brought the man back to Greenfield.
Even after several days of driving, Pablo still refused to go into the teacup castle to rest and relax with a glass or two of wine, but just waited outside the city, playing with Alfred on the city walls.
The people around who looked straight at them all sweated for the two of them, for fear that they would suddenly fight.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Yin Leia's carriage to appear at the bottom of the hillside, and Pablo also withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to his sworn enemy, he tidied up the armor on his body, and took the initiative to meet it.
"Miss Yin Leiya, I've already brought it back to you."
"Thank you, Pablo."
Miss Rabbit looked over the knight's shoulder, curiously at the man behind him.
At first glance, they resembled the Bathory family, with small eyes and barely visible ears, except that most of their hair was yellowish-brown.
The animal on the coat of arms of the Wettin family is a sea lion, and their people have also inherited some of the characteristics of sea lions, which are quite recognizable.
The Arias family and the Wettin family are one in the west and the other in the east, and there is an incomparably long distance between them, and Yin Leia has never seen anyone from the Wettin family before.
But the group of people in front of him, except for the basic physical characteristics, it is really difficult for people to associate them with the former imperial giants.
They are all ragged, pale, it seems that they have not seen the sun for a long time, their bodies are generally thinner than normal people, and some of their arms and legs are like hemp rods, but their stomachs are not small, and they look very weird.
But the most memorable thing is the numb expression on their faces, their eyes are empty, their gaze is glazed, like a stone, they have lost their response to external stimuli.
On the way here, Yin Leiya was still thinking about how to set rules for these people.
After all, the other party's family was once a top wealthy family at the top of the imperial hierarchy, compared to the Arias family, which was just a small nobleman on the distant border.
The gap in the identities between the two sides is bigger than the bay outside the crab's feet, how could the people of the Weiting family be honestly at her mercy.
And the reason why the girl is willing to accept such a group of politically sensitive homeless people to settle in the green field is that they can farm the land, not to find another group of nobles for themselves.
This point must be clear at the beginning, so that the two sides can be at peace with each other in the future and no longer add to each other's obstacles.
So before these people came, Yin Leia was already ready.
When they met for the first time, they could be tougher, and if there was an eyeless thorn who dared to contradict her, they would just use it to set an example for him, and he would be punished for paying an extra 20% of the rent every year, plus an extra month of forced labor.
In short, we must establish a majestic image of ourselves.
However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and when she really met the people of the Wertin family, Miss Rabbit only felt that these people looked so pitiful, like the walking dead, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy.
Obviously, the previous rebellion was only planned and participated in by Hilda and a few core members of the family, and as a result, many side branches and bloodlines who were not in the royal capital and were not in the crab feet were also arrested.
Thrown into the dungeon, one level is five years.
Many people died in the dungeon, and those who survived became like this.
Coupled with the fact that Jude's identity was revealed not long ago, even if more than 900 years have passed, the descendants of the Enriquez family still have to hide in the West, try to avoid towns, and wander around in the wilderness with one person and one dog, without a fixed residence.
Once again, the young Lord of Oz felt the cruelty of the power struggle.
The joy of recruiting people to farm the land before also dissipated a lot, and he sighed and said to Fausto, "Take them to the nearby village and settle them first, the grain has also been harvested recently, give them more bread and carrots, and you can wait for two more days to learn how to farm." ”
Fausto nodded, "Yes, Miss." ”
Yin Leia was about to return to the castle after speaking, but a person suddenly rushed out of the crowd, stumbling towards this side, and shouting, "Wait, wait!" ”

"What people?! Dare to attack Miss Yin Leia! Pablo had already drawn his saber from his waist and stopped in front of Miss Rabbit, while looking at the visitor with an unkind expression.
However, the man was not frightened by the long sword shaking in the knight's hand, and still moved forward, and at the same time looked at the girl behind the knight with a look of hope, "You, you are the lord of this place!" Please save my sister!
! ”
Yin Leia patted Pablo on the back, signaling the knight not to be nervous, and then looked at the young man in front of him, "What's wrong with your sister?" ”
"About two days ago, my sister suddenly started vomiting and diarrhea, couldn't eat anything, and had a high fever, and then she could barely walk, and I and several other people took turns carrying her to get here, but her condition did not improve, and she had to be treated immediately."
