Chapter 21 Jī Egg

The next morning, it was Tom who woke me up

Tom laughed and stood next to the stable, looking at me, "I said, boy, I was wondering if you were in a better position than I was last night, and I thought Alexei was going to take you away, but it really made you the little brother of the stable?" Hehe, yes, yes, we have to talk about Tom the Scythe and Victor, the little brother of the stable, in the future."

"Phew" I lay on top of the straw bunk, "Alexei said, let me be his shì servant in a few days, and then I won't live here"

"How did I hear that the Romanov family had to be a knight's apprentice?"

"What is a Knight Apprentice?"

"It's a young man who can ride a horse, can dance a sword and play a sword, and can sleep with a girl, of course, he can't be too humble at birth, for example, the little brother of the stable, or something, he may not be able to be a knight apprentice for the rest of his life"

"Impossible, many knights are made up of commoners, and it doesn't say that the little brother of the stables can't become a knight."

"Yes, civilians can be canonized, but have you heard of that servant being canonized? You're just a servant of the lord, just help him watch the horses and shepherd the sheep all your life, don't want to be a knight."

"You too, you're just a farmer for the lord, just help him farm and mow the grass for the rest of your life, don't think about dreaming"

Tom smiled and threw me two jī eggs, saying that a young maid had secretly stuffed them into him, and that he had asked me to eat one for myself and feed the rest to Amy at noon

"You're not afraid I'll eat it all?"

"I'm afraid," Tom put his straw hat on his head, and then put the sickle into his waist, "so I'm going to entrust it to you, if someone else eats, who will I go to?" Give it to you, if you can't keep your mouth shut, I'll come back at night and beat you up, so it's still safe for you."

"I don't eat your jī eggs" I shoved the jī eggs into the straw, "I went to Amy at noon and gave him all the jī eggs, but I told you, there are three soul accounts that always haunt me, if the jī eggs are snatched by them, don't blame me"

"Then I don't care," said Tom as he walked away, "I'll look for you when I come back in the evening if my little Amy is hungry."

After Tom left, there was no one in the yard again

I looked around the yard, it was very depressed, except for a large tank full of water, there were only a few mulberry trees left, Christopher said, where there are no purple shirt trees, mulberry trees are the best raw materials for bowmaking, and generally the bow maker's house will be surrounded by mulberry trees, which are useful for almost all parts except the leaves, and if the leaves of the mulberry tree can be of any use, then the mulberry tree is the best crop

The leaves of the mulberry tree were shining brightly in the sun, and I had not known this tree for long, but when Christopher was around Kudan, Christopher pointed out to me that I had heard that the mulberry tree should have mulberries on it, and it was a delicious fruit, but I could not find it, either it was taken away and eaten by the three soul eggs, or it had not yet grown

I don't know what time it is, although every once in a while in the manor there are people ringing the bell, but I don't know what time it is, because they only ring three times at a time, not like the people outside, I heard three or four times, and I guess it was ten or eleven o'clock, because I saw some of the wood-planing craftsmen leaving the workshop and going to the kitchen to wait for the meal, and the craftsmen were sitting at the base of the wall waiting for their food, and someone came to give them bread and onion rolls, and of course, wine, for these people, Baron Kalinin does not seem to skimp on alcohol

I saw a carpenter sitting alone with us, trying to talk to the craftsmen who had come earlier, but no one paid any attention to him, probably because everyone was disgusted with him when they knew his story, and I wanted to go and talk to him, after all, when I was on the way, he taught me to play the leaf flute when I was in a good mood

As I was about to walk over, the old man in the stable, beckoned me from afar, and several of Alexei's cousins had returned on horseback, their horses were half starved to death, and now someone needed extra forage for them

The old man said to me, "Add a handful of oats and a handful of soybeans to each horse, mix them and feed them to remember, and let them smell your hands before feeding them"

I had to walk back and push a small wheelbarrow to the hay warehouse to get the hay

A middle-aged man chewing raw fat is in charge of the forage storehouse, he is a Kujiit, very familiar with the forage, it is said that just by looking at a glance you know how many horses can be fed by a large pile of grass, and how long they can eat, some people say that he is a Kugit deserter, because he always loves to chew fat, people say that this is a habit formed by having nothing to eat on the battlefield, but only eating dead horses and dead people

The man just looked at me, heard me say what he wanted, and pointed out a small pile of hay for me to move, and he himself took out a cloth bag and turned around to carry the oats and soybeans, which were mixed with salt, and it was said that if the horse did not eat it, he would be weak

The forage in the warehouse is cut back by the farmers who go to the field every day, when the crops are not harvested, the farmers need to go to the field to find the thatch or other forage to bring back, and now it is much more convenient to harvest in the autumn

As I pushed the cart back, a man tapped me on the shoulder

I looked back and it was Herman, and I immediately got out of the car and turned to stare at him

"Your name is Victor" he took a step back, "I know your name"

"Your name is Herman, and I know," I followed his words, "are you here to fight?" ”

"No," he shook his head, "but I'm almost here to fight."

"Appointment?"

"Yes" he nodded solemnly, he was the fattest of the three yesterday, although he still looked a little malnourished, he had a straw horsewhip on his belt, the left sleeve was longer than the right sleeve, and the right sleeve was pulled off by Hyde yesterday, "Yesterday you violated the dueling style, outsiders are not allowed to do it, but you found a big foreign aid, it's not fair"

"Is it fair that the three of you hit me one?"

He shook his head, "The three of us weren't going to hit you, and you did the first blow yesterday, so you should have the impression that you threw the glass out and smashed it on top of Jack's head."

"I remember"

"Yes, we never take our word for it"

"Then Jack said you and Hyde drowned the boy"

"Well, we'll talk about this later, you violated our interests yesterday, so the three of us want to beat you, but we discussed for a night, and now it's not fair for you to find foreign aid, and it's not fair for the three of us to beat you up, so we decided to make a fair appointment with you, you don't look for the one who is a soldier, and we don't go together, we decided to beat you one by one, we chose six places for you, all of them are open and uninhabited, you can have a good time, and you won't invite others, and"

"I don't want to fight you," I turned and picked up the car, ready to leave

"Then you should come according to the rules and give us back the bread and wine that belong to us"

"I won't give it either," I began to walk on

Herman blushed, "Why are you so unreasonable?" Jack ate Hyde's bread and drank Hyde's wine; Later, Jack and Hyde ate my bread and drank my wine together, and now that you are here, why don't you let me eat your bread and drink your wine? ”

"You yourself let them eat your things, be angry with them, and do whatever I do"

"No," Herman shook his head, "you're going to have to fight us"

"I don't want to fight and go back again, if you want to fight, come like yesterday, you go back and tell Jack, whether you hit me or Hyde beat me, I'll only go to Jack No matter which of you beat me, I'll only hit Jack and you tell him that"

"I hit you, won't you fight back?"

"Why don't you try? You'd better think about it, if you punch me, I'll give Jack two punches in return, and say that you made me do this."

"Herman didn't let you do that" beads of sweat ran down his forehead, he didn't wear a straw hat, the sun was shining on his face

"Then get out of the way," I yelled, Hermancer winced, and I took the opportunity to push the cart away

When he walked to the stable, a shì was brushing the horse's back with a coarse brush, and he was carrying a bucket of water, which was already muddy

When he saw me coming, he threw the brush to me, "Brush the horse's back, and if I come back in the afternoon and see a piece of dirt on the horse's back, you will wait for the ass to bloom and you will not drown?" Your name is Pinker? ”

"I'm not Pinker," I know my ex is called Pinker, "Pinker drowned, I'm taking his place now"

"Oh, whatever, but if you change this skin and wear the clothes of a dead man, he will drag you in when you pass by the river."

"Really?" I asked him with wide eyes

"What did I lie to you, when I came back, I rode across the river, and Pinker grabbed me by the leg and tried to drag me down, and I told him that I wasn't wearing his clothes, and he let me go, and he said he would wait by all the rivers to steal his clothes."

I was a little scared and asked him suspiciously, "Won't you scare me?" ”

"Really, I don't believe you can try it by the river yourself," he said with a malicious smile

"Then I'll give the kùzi to someone else to wear, and it should be fine."

shì never expected me to ask, "It should be, who cares, okay, don't talk about it, brush the horse well, feed the horse well, and I'll teach you to ride a horse."

"I can ride a horse," I said, and I was actually carried to my horse by Christopher, who tied my feet to the saddle and told me to hold on to the reins and not let go

"I'll check your equestrianism" He turned and walked away, halfway through, he turned back and said: "My name is Kinov, you can remember me if one day you are taken by Pinker, tell him, Kinov greets him"

I started brushing the horses, Kinov was almost done, and I was done in a while

I put down the bucket, led the horse to the stable, and began to sprinkle hay into the trough I suddenly remembered something, I tightened my pockets, and a horse waiting to chew the grass turned its face to the side, and looked at me with big eyes and puzzled

I pointed to its nose and held out my hand for it to smell

I let the horses smell my hands before they eat all the forage

After cooking a few horses, I was hungry and panicked, and the old man asked me to go to the kitchen to find food by myself at noon, "Don't pick, you can eat whatever you want, the stinky young master's temper has to be changed!"

I was on the fence of the stable, and was about to follow the road to the kitchen, when I suddenly remembered Tom's two jī eggs, and Amy

I don't really like Tom very much, because Kaja doesn't like him, but I like Amy, because Amy likes Kaja, I turned around and went into the stable, and took out two boiled jī eggs from the straw shop, blew off the straw on them, took the jī eggs into my arms, and walked to the backyard Amy lives with a washerwoman, I am not very familiar with the road, but it is not very difficult to find it

I walked through a low wall and walked to the edge of the backyard, and when I saw that there was no one around, I pulled out the kùzi and sprinkled niào on a poplar tree

When I was done, I suddenly heard three voices coming over

"What? He really said that, why would he beat me up? ”

"I don't know, he also said that if Hyde beat him, he will beat you too"

"Herman, is that kid having a problem with his head, why did we both beat him up, and he wanted to beat Jack?"

The three of you walked out with one look at me

And then Hyde was the first to show me, "Jack, that's the kid."

All three of them watched me finish throwing niào at the poplar tree, and I was wearing kùzi

Jack crossed his waist and sneered, "Okay! Dead boy, it's fun to hide and play dick"

Hyde and Herman laughed

I was furious, "What's wrong with me touching you, can't you care about you?" ”

Jack froze, then his face turned red, and Hyde and Herman reacted in turn, they held back their laughter, and they both turned to look at Jack

There was nothing more to say, Jack picked up his shoes and threw them at me, and they hit me on the arm, and I picked them up and threw them into the stinking ditch, and then rushed over and fought with Jack

This time we were holding each other's waists, neither of us could hold up their fists, and he arched his knees to push my stomach, but I pinned him away so that he could not move casually

The last washerwoman who passed by scooped two scoops of water in a bucket and splashed it on our backs before we parted

Jack scolded me all the time, but I didn't learn much about swearing, so I could only stare at him and look at the washerwoman, so I concluded that Jack was in trouble, so I went over and grabbed his ear, slapped him on the ass, and drove him away

Jack turned around and scolded me and the washerwoman for being a dog man and a woman, and the three of them sang the choreographer's tune together for a long time, and then dispersed

The washerwoman heard that I was here to bring food to little Amy, and her attitude towards me was good, and I walked to the yard with her one after the other, and my clothes were torn, and she asked me to take them off and help me sew them

At this time, I realized that the two jī eggs in my arms were broken, the yolks of the egg whites were blurred together, and there were eggshells inside

When Amy jumped out and called out to my brother, I had to bite the bullet and feed her jī eggs, she hated egg yolks and liked tender egg whites, so I picked out the egg whites and stuffed them into her mouth, and swallowed the egg yolk in my mouth

Amy said she and Tom had gone to explore the closet today, but then Tom got scared and they came back together

I said, "Oh."

The washerwoman bit off a thread and sewed up the tears in my blouse, I have a few bruises on my body, I don't know when the swelling will go down, I must be very ugly now, I feel very sore in my nose, as if my nose is bleeding again

Amy ate and ate, and the saliva would stay, and I slipped out the jī egg that I had just eaten, and I put my fingers in for her, and she stuck out her tongue to add it, like a docile cat

Amy's eyes widened suddenly, "Sister? ”

When I turned around, I saw Kaja standing behind me
