Chapter 4 A Trip to the Town

The foreman tells Jill that he is going to the town to buy something.

Every week, the foreman would go to town, deposit his money with a few reputable merchants, and then come back with something that wasn't available on the site. Generally, the food is bought directly from the warehouse on the construction site, and although it is more expensive than buying it outside, it is sufficient and convenient, and the foreman is not willing to worry about it repeatedly for a dozen dinars.

This time, the foreman was very happy, and Jill's method was very effective, and in just one month, he gave his craftsman a new look. The foreman rewarded Gil with 70 dinars, an amount of money that no other craftsman could have imagined, which could be used to hire a decent maid or buy a horse in the town. Of course, if you know the market, this money can buy some orphans in some underground markets. Jill fulfilled his promise tenfold and returned the line that the foreman had bought for him, and the money was not much, but the foreman appreciated Jill's trustworthiness very much.

Jill said he wanted to go around the town as well, and the foreman thought about it and agreed. Normally, craftsmen are not allowed to enter and leave the construction site casually, but Jill has made a meritorious contribution this time, so he will be treated specially.

The foreman also told Jill, "There are some wives in town who are very tasteful, and I will take you to have some fun." ”

Jill knew something about this and shook her head in refusal. The foreman didn't try to persuade him, he thought that as long as he got to the town and poured a few glasses of wine on Gil, everything would be fine.

The foreman himself had a mistress in the town. The foreman would give the woman a sum of money every month to rent a room in a hotel. Occasionally, when the foreman received the project and was too busy to go to the town to adjust his life, the foreman would send someone to take the woman to the construction site to live for a few days. Every time the women came to the construction site, the foreman would find that the efficiency of the craftsmen had dropped greatly: they were exhausted every day when they went into the workshop to work.

The foreman was amazed at this situation, and one night he quietly got out of bed to take a look, but when he opened the door, he found a black head pressed under the base of the wall: the craftsmen were listening intently to the movement in the room. The foreman was furious, pulled off his belt and began to beat people, and the next day the foreman reluctantly sent his woman back to the town. After that, the work efficiency of the craftsmen slowly returned to normal.

Sometimes the night is long, and the foreman can only restrain and restrain when he is lonely, he knows that the cause is important, and he can't bring the woman to the child, otherwise the craftsmen will come to listen to the wall at night, and they can't drive away.

In order to maintain production, the foreman lived an ascetic life, holding on until the last two days of the month before going to town. In the last days of each month, the craftsmen are afraid to accept the individual summons of the foreman, fearing that something will happen to them. When the foreman returned from the town in high spirits, the craftsmen breathed a sigh of relief and began a month of happy life again.

On this day, when Jill followed the foreman to the town, all the craftsmen frowned and came to see him off, and when Jill stepped into the car, these craftsmen shook Jill's hand with a sad look on their faces.

Jill was a little confused, so he smiled and got into the carriage to the town with the foreman. Before leaving, Jill explained the work of several foremen, and these foremen, after learning that Jill and the foreman were going to the town together, they were all in awe, and their hearts were puzzled: no wonder Jill was so taken care of by the foreman, it turned out that the foreman had been standing firmly behind Jill. From then on, several foremen no longer dared to find Jill's stubble at will.

Coming out of the construction site, the foreman gave Gil a brief introduction to the town called Fenrad, which used to be one of the first Nord settlements, which was burned down by the Swadias during the North Sea War and rebuilt after the war. The demographic composition of the region is complex, with many Swadian immigrants as well as Kugit and Vykia in addition to the Nords. For many years, there have been many restrictions on the work of Swadia people, some of which are very strange: for example, Swadian men are not allowed to work as accountants and blacksmiths, and Swadian women are not allowed to work as tavern hostesses.

These rules were a legacy of the war, and these discriminatory policies were slowly lifted as King Nord decided to bring all his subjects into his administrative system.

However, this great inertia of persecution against the Swadias remained, and few Swadians were able to enter the Nord bureaucracy. Sometimes you can even see a Kuji Grain Officer or a Wiki Inspector, but you will never see a Svadia Gatekeeper.

In Nord, the Swadia people still feared that they would fall victim to a riot--- and the poor Nord often blamed Swadia for their misery, and then plundered it. The Nord government has always turned a blind eye to this situation, and the Swadia people's business talent and saving habits have made them coveted fat sheep.

It is well known that the Nord King was very dissatisfied with the Nords' unwarranted oppression of the Swadians, and with the adjustment of a series of policies of the Nord King, perhaps in a few decades, the Svadias and the Nords will still be able to live together peacefully as in the past.

Jill and the foreman walked for a long time to reach Fenrad, and after dark, the foreman led him into a tavern called "Big Malt", where the owner knew the foreman and invited him to a few free drinks. The foreman was in high spirits, reached out and removed the tavernkeeper's hat, put a few coins in it, and put it back on. The boss's bald head is very sensitive, and he knows how much money the foreman has given him with a slight twist, and the amount seems to make the boss very satisfied. The foreman approached the boss's ear, and watched Jill whisper to the boss with a smile full of conspiracy, and the boss's red face showed a hearty smile, "No problem, you can go with confidence!" ", said the boss.

The foreman was already in the mood for wine at this time, so he came over and patted Jill on the shoulder, "Sell some strength tonight!" Then he happily walked out of the inn to find his woman.

Jill sat alone at the table and wondered, the boss came over and said, "The foreman has paid all the money, you can order whatever you want to eat, and I will greet you after you finish eating", and the boss was busy receiving other guests.

Jill looked around the little inn, glowing red by the fireplace, and then buried his head in eating a plate of grilled fish. After a while, a trotter came and poured a thick and fragrant sauce on the fish, and brought a small piece of ham, two small sausages, and a pickled radish to Jill.

Jill bought himself a liter of Wiki's snow wine, asked for a glass from Rantang, and began to drink it. The wine was spicy, spicy from Jill's tongue to the stomach, making Jill cough for a while. The boss walked over happily, "Don't drink too much, this thing burns strength!" ”

Jill sincerely wanted to get drunk at this time, the first time he was drunk was in the Valley of the White Dove and the old Bianwen, and the second time was in a cellar in Suno. Every time he got drunk, he seemed to change his fate, and Jill couldn't help but pour wine out of his mouth when he thought about the hardships he had come along the way.

With a thud of Jill falling his head on the table, the tavern owner came over, and he commanded the two waiters to carry Jill upstairs, and then gave a few words to a clever little worker, who nodded knowingly and ran out.

In the midst of the chaos, Jill dreams of Elune. At this time, Jill suddenly became very thirsty, and then suddenly woke up.

Jill spotted a strange girl hugging her.

When the woman saw Jill wake up, her expression froze for a moment.

Jill pushed the woman away.

"Who are you?"

The woman sat on the ground, then said with a teasing smile, "Didn't you come for me?" ”

"I didn't look for you".

"But the tavern owner has already paid, let me entertain you."

"I don't know".

"I took the money to serve you, and if you don't come yourself, don't try to get the money back." The woman sat on the ground, her hair sticking to her white face, and Jill looked at it with disgust.

"I don't want your money, you go, I'm going to rest".

"I'm out? Are you stupid for me? I've only been in for a few minutes, and I'm out, and the old man who sells wine hasn't searched for my money? When I come in, I'm going to stay until dawn, and it's your own business if you move or not." With that, the woman stood up with a grin, walked to the edge of the bed and lay down.

"You find somewhere else to sleep, I don't want to lie down with you".

The woman turned her face to look at Jill, "Don't even think about it, I don't move you, and you don't move me."

Jill suddenly opened the woman's hand, "You go to bed."

After saying that, Jill jumped out of bed, spread his futon by the fireplace, and waited for the futon to be heated before Jill fell asleep.

Soon, all that was left in the room was the beeping sound of the fireplace.

"Listen to your accent, you're Swadia too."

“```”。

"What's going on with your legs?"

“```”。

"I've taken the money" ''So, you come up, I'll go down to sleep.''

"Don't say it sooner!" Jill jumped to his feet, a gesture of being about to go to bed.

"You, you! You just sleep there! The old lady won't get out of bed! As he spoke, the sound of the quilt came from the bed. Jill had just paid attention to the woman, sixteen or seventeen years old, not the kind of old prostitute who didn't care about anything anymore, it seemed that she was new to this profession. Jill knew that if she didn't provoke her, she could babble on and on for a night. Jill has a terrible headache now, and just wants to sleep, the aroma of the woman just now also made Jill throb inexplicably, and finally Jill suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, listening to the sound of burning firewood and fell asleep.

The next morning, the woman woke Jill up with a shake on her foot and told Jill that she was leaving. Jill shook her hand impatiently and told the woman to hurry away.

"Go back to bed, let the boss see you sleeping here, he will definitely deduct my money, do me a favor!" Jill looked at this somewhat silly woman, and felt irritated in his heart, so he had to sit up and go to bed again.

"I'll make a cup of tea and put it on the table, and I'll spill it on the sheets before you leave."

Jill put the sheet over her head like a woman the night before, and was silent for a while, when the door opened and closed.

It was almost noon when the foreman, with dark eyes and sunken eye sockets, found Jill, and the two went to lunch together.

At lunchtime, the foreman ate six eggs in a row and almost choked.

Jill handed the foreman a glass of water, "Eat in such a hurry? ”

The foreman looked at Jill with some bitterness, "It's still young and good, it's like a good person to be okay all night, tsk, the spear has to be returned to the furnace after a few battles, so I pointed to this egg and returned to the spear."

Jill nodded thoughtfully and solemnly, indicating that he understood.

After the foreman finished speaking, he suddenly smiled, and even the dark circles under his eyes were smiling with three points of brilliance. The foreman told Jill that his woman had found him a big deal.

"What business?" , Jill asked curiously.

"Haha, a down-and-out aristocratic couple has come to this town, and they want to sell some furniture, which is as cheap as giving it away for free. You'll come with me to see the goods later. My women were so lucky to know them. ”

"Yes, sir".

"Boss, six more eggs".
