Volume 1 The Caged Bird Chapter 36 Blood and Flowers (9) Under the High Wall

From here, you can already see the walls towering in the distance.

Under a towering tree, a strange creature was tied to it, this creature had a pair of huge horns on its head, and the hair on its body was like the aerial roots hanging from the tree, like a cow but not a cow.

Xia Ming and Rant were dressed in the costumes of the Qiutu Clan, with gray turbans around their heads, and the clothes on their bodies were long and wrinkled, so that they could be used as quilts. In addition, on both of Xia Ming's lips, brown and yellow corn silk was glued, and the whole person looked weird. From time to time, he touched his lips with his fingers to prevent the fake beard from being accidentally blown away by the wind.

This outfit was taken care of by the two executors, especially the two mustaches, which are their masterpieces. This was originally for them to use, but Xia Ming had a lot of mouths, and accidentally reminded them that there was no girl with a beard. So Xia Ming naturally grew two big beards.

The point is that he leaned over in front of a water tank, and the shadow was completely the appearance of a middle-aged uncle. This uncle is weird, he is also Rand, but he looks handsome and mature, as long as the turban is removed, someone can still recognize him.

By noon, the weather had become warmer, but it was extremely hot for Xia Ming and the others.

Shadows under the walls slanted in the territory, and in winter, sunlight could not reach the roots of the walls. The huge transparent force field that rose from each wall stack also greatly weakened the sunlight, and Xia Ming stepped on a layer of dim sunlight under his feet.

Each ranch is fenced off by its own owner, but this one, under a high wall in the southwestern part of the territory, has only a symbolic fence.

In other words, Xia Ming and Rand have entered a private place at this moment.

A few peasants dressed as slaves walked towards them, and according to the pre-agreement, Rand first spoke to them in the language of the Qiutu tribe, "We are the travelers of the Qiutu tribe, we have been lost in this beautiful plain for more than ten days, I hope that the honorable master will take us in, we are willing to help with all the work, please give us a bite to eat." ”

The servants had apparently come to fetch them, and one of them was carrying a heavy cloth wrapped in food, and it seemed that they had experienced the same situation as they had come to the door to beg.

A dark-skinned maid didn't understand him or not, and said straightforwardly, "I'm very sorry, but our master is not at home, so you should leave early after eating the leavened bread." ”

Rand's eyes lit up and he was about to take the package, but Xia Ming was busy coughing behind his back, and Rand remembered that they weren't really here to beg for food.

Rand stretched out his hand, and suddenly fell to his knees at this moment, grabbed the maid's hand with tears in his eyes, and said in the unified language of the territory: "Please let us stay and help work, we are separated from our relatives, my grandfather is over seventy years old, what should I do if I can't find him..."

The maid was very sympathetic and said, "I'm really sorry, two friends, we want to help you too, but..."

"You two just stay. ”

It is a very beautiful sound, and its owner must be as beautiful as the voice. Xia Ming and Rand both pretended to be in a low mood and lowered their heads, so they didn't see this beautiful woman approaching.

"Miss Green. The servants were all respectfully addressed.

"Give them the food, Sarah. Miss Grimne said.

"No, we have to work before we can get your food, we're running out of money." ”

Seeing that Rand was resolute, Miss Grime said, "In that case, Sarah should arrange it for them." ”

The maid said, "Yes, Miss." Come with me, but get the food first. ”

Charming and Rand followed behind the maid, and were able to gain unhindered access to the interior of the ranch. When no one noticed, Xia Ming stretched out his dragging sleeves and gave a thumbs up. Rand smiled quietly. It was the maid who suddenly turned around, and the two hurriedly put away their small movements.

Sarah said, "This Bohan sheepfold is just short of manpower, so you can work here." ”

Behind her was a large shed, from which did not come the sound of sheep.

"Although the young lady asked you to stay, you are not servants, so if you want to stay, you can only live with the peasants. The maid pointed to the adjoining huts beside the shed. "In addition, farmers are not allowed to go near the owner's house at night or during the day. Unless there are special circumstances. ”

"Thank you so much. We must follow the rules. Rand bent down.

"Why is there no one here?" Xia Ming finally spoke, and he asked in the language of the unified territory.

Sarah looked at him and explained, "Not all peasants live here, and there is not always a need for peasants here, and we servants can do a lot. ”

Xia Ming nodded, he could hear that the maid was lying, however, this also showed that there was really a problem here, and they were not looking for the wrong place.

"Thank you. Xia Ming said, "It's really too troublesome for you, and when we find our relatives, we will make them appreciate you." ”

The maid smiled brightly, and although her skin was dark and her features were rough, she was probably not very old. "It's all Mademoiselle's tolerance. ”

"Since there is not always a need for farmers here, what can we do to help?" ”

The maid said, "You can simply take care of this shed, for the work here requires only the collection of six buckets of fresh goat's milk every morning, and the punctual release of the sheep at eight o'clock in the morning and five in the afternoon, and the return of them before it gets hot and dark." ”

"This kind of work can be done by one person. She said like she was explaining something.

Then she said, "You don't have much work right now, so you might as well have something to eat and get some sleep in the afternoon." ”

Rand said firmly, "This is absolutely not possible, we must not take other people's food for nothing." ”

"Then you can watch and take care of this place, I'm going to leave first. There are still things to keep busy in the host's house. ”

Xia Ming and Rand hurriedly thanked her.

After the maid left, Xia Minglan looked at each other, and Lante said, "Boss, everyone is gone, we might as well move." ”

That wall seemed close, but it was on the horizon, and the refraction of light led to the illusion. They had walked in that direction all morning, and their bellies were already empty.

Xia Ming said: "No, go to work." His eyes never took off the package in his hand.

"I don't know what happened to them. ”

Xia Ming said: "Don't worry, those two little girls are the predecessors of the executors, how can the academy treat them badly, so if you follow them with a dead face, you will definitely not starve to death." ”

He said, "Work, there's a lot to do here, do you smell those?"

"Hey, why are you guys so unhygienic, this and that. Rand said, carrying a shovel with something in one hand, and pointing to the graceful and beautiful creatures in the other.

The silky blue hair, looking at the docile Bohan sheep, pointed at him, and snapped the top of the wooden fence with its long sharp horns, so frightened that Rand thought it was about to break through the fence and come out, so he threw down his shovel and ran.

Those smelly things splashed Xia Ming's body all over at once.

Afterwards, Xia Ming asked, "Rand, are you still hungry now?"

Rand said, "I'm not hungry, I can fill my stomach when I work.."

A black line stood up in Xia Ming's head.

Thankfully, they did their duty according to the rules of the Mounds, and while they were cleaning their sheds, a maid in the distance was watching their every move.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun began to gentle, and the maid came and knocked on their door.

The maid Sarah and another manservant came over, and Salad said, "The daylight hours will get shorter and shorter after winter, and you should remember to put the sheep out to forage for free every day. Be sure to rush them back before dark, as the nighttime temperatures can get chilly. We're going to do it all over today, and tomorrow you're going to do it the way we did. This is the servant Garci the Chief. ”

Gao Jun, the head of the male servant, may be because of his position, and his face is also majestic.

When Xia Ming greeted him, he also turned his face up.

The sheep were more disciplined than expected, and they cautiously walked out of the hut as if they were afraid of something, and then foraged freely in a sunny place not far from the shed, and when the flock had almost eaten up the vegetation in the area, they would move to another shed. New shoots emerge almost every day, and when the plants reach the right height, the sheep are moved back again.

When he is not working, Xia Ming can sit on the smooth rocks and look at the towering walls outside the simple fence. Even though Snowstone Town was close to the southern wall, it was not like at this moment, where you could directly see the vines spreading at the base of the wall. He is separated from the outside world by only a wall at the moment. He can even climb up at any time, even if it's dangerous when he doesn't have a crossbow.

While Xia Ming lay comfortably on the rocks basking in the last sunset, Miss Grime came to them in a beautiful sky-blue dress.

She smiled and said, "I don't know what to call the two gentlemen?"

As for the name, of course, the original name should not be used, which was discussed as early as the time on the train. His name is Amin Herrick, and Rand is called Rand Herrick.

Miss Greon said, "My name is Eudo Green, don't call me Miss, just call me Eudo." Well, Mr. Herrick, I have come to invite you to the manor tonight for a supper with you. ”

Xia Ming stood up and thanked him, "I've caused trouble to Miss You Duo again." ”

Yudo finished speaking, smiled and jumped away. The sky-blue skirt shimmered in the setting sun, and those seemingly docile but actually eccentric and irascible Bohan sheep were also caressed by her. Xia Ming looked at her back and felt that she was like a princess who came out of a fairy tale. Yes, the princess in the fairy tale, a little unreal.

Then the chief servant came and said, "You are very lucky, and we servants only eat in our own kitchens." No one has ever been blessed to go to the manor to eat. ”

Xia Ming smiled and said: "It seems that Miss Greon regards us as friends, and we are also grateful people, and when we find our relatives, I am willing to be her servant for ten years." ”

The chief servant did not speak, and it was difficult to see any change in his face, which was frozen in pride.
