"Rosen, what happened last night?!" When Irene checked the children the next day, she found Rosen sleeping soundly on the bed, and there was a scary blood flower on his clothes.
Rosen opened his eyes in the haze, still a little sleepy, and could only blurt out the speech he had prepared last night: "There were mosquitoes at night. I don't know why they all came to bite me. I killed one of them.
One more one, and that’s it.”
Mosquitoes? How many mosquitoes must be swatted to death to squeeze out so much blood?
Mosquitoes in this world are very fat. The largest belly is about the size of a thumb. However, a large group of these fat mosquitoes must suck enough blood to squeeze out this amount of blood. Erin checked Rosen and found that there was no wound.
Finally, I chose to believe his lies.
Rosen continued to lie in bed to catch up on his sleep. The other children had already gotten up. Johnson and Ada went outside to chop wood, while Jenny carefully folded their quilts neatly. Rosen suspected that Jenny had obsessive-compulsive disorder and did
He is meticulous in everything and is more elegant than the daughter of a nobleman.
Zeno didn't stay in bed. He came outside and grabbed the ax from Johnson's hand and started working with him. This was to show his ability in front of Irene. After chopping wood for a while, Zeno took the initiative to send the wood to
Go to the kitchen and repair the broken window in the kitchen while Irene is cooking.
Rosen felt that he had almost recovered from his sleep, so he got up from the bed and saw Jenny sitting at the table, shuffling the tarot cards on the table. Her shuffling movements were elegant and skillful, giving people a sense of beauty.
Jenny raised her eyes to look at Rosen, and said in a squeaky voice: "Want to come and draw a group of pies?"
"Are your calculations accurate?" Rosen walked over, sat opposite Jenny, and asked.
"Whether it's accurate or not, it doesn't matter what I say, it's the guidance of fate."
"Fate's guidance? Okay, let's get started." Rosen often saw the three children playing, and I don't know if it's true or not, but it looked interesting. Of course, he found it interesting, and his predecessor had no involvement in it.
nature.
Then Jenny pulled out three sets of tarot cards and placed them neatly on the table in front of Rosen. Each set had three cards.
Jenny raised her right hand to signal him to draw a group: "You only have one chance to choose, please choose a group of cards."
Given the opportunity to choose one of three, Rosen chose the group closest to him without hesitation: "Just these three."
"Okay." Jenny spread out the tarot cards chosen by Rosen.
"This is the result of your choice. Let me make it clear first that this is not a ceremony, but purely for entertainment, so if I say something bad later, don't take it to heart." Jenny declared in advance.
"Is it necessary to be so serious?" Rosen said with a rare smile.
"The first picture is a chariot, which represents efforts to overcome obstacles and achieve success. It means that your future may be difficult, but as long as you overcome it bravely, you can achieve success. Well, this is a good sign."
"The second card is Hermit. This card... you should be a person with a secret. Although I didn't see it, Hermit means that you may have something on your mind, or a hidden special identity." He said.
While doing so, Jenny secretly glanced at the corner of Rosen's mouth, but she didn't see the sharp fangs she imagined.
Her eyes finally fell on the third card on the table. When she saw the card content, Jenny breathed a sigh of relief: "The last card is justice. Even if you have some secrets, you still stick to justice in your heart, so you
The secret may not be a threat to people in the same camp, which may be a good thing, but judging from the first card, sticking to justice will also bring you some setbacks..."
"What I said may not be very good, but generally speaking, your future is bright." Jenny finally added.
"I'd like to lend you some good words!" Rosen smiled gratefully.
This was the first time that the two of them had such a close conversation, and it was in the form of playing games. In the memory of his predecessor, Rosen was only close to Johnson. As for Ada, it was Ada who took the initiative to tease him every time.
As for Ni, it is usually difficult to talk to the silent Rosen.
"You have changed a bit." Jenny pondered for a moment, moved her red lips, and said with a smile: "You have become more approachable."
Hearing this, Rosen touched his chin thoughtfully, wondering if his soul was too cool and had some attraction to girls?
At this moment, Irene climbed the wooden ladder upstairs and said, "Rosen, Jenny, it's time to eat."
…
On the dinner table.
There are five dishes and one soup, all of which are vegetarian. The soup is also clear soup with a few cabbages in it. In the past, only three dishes and one soup were enough to feed the family, but because Zeno was eating rice, Irene made two more dishes.
The dishes fried in lard are very fragrant, Rosen doesn't dislike them, and Irene's cooking skills are so good that even if she eats vegetarian dishes for the rest of her life, she won't get tired of it.
Zeno was able to taste the food cooked by Irene, which was rare, and he happily praised it. Irene was thin-skinned, and her cheeks turned slightly red after being praised.
"Stop praising me. You can tell me what I discussed with you just now." Eileen couldn't resist and changed the subject.
"Ahem, I almost forgot." Zeno pretended to have a bad memory, and said after thinking for a moment: "The children are almost old enough to participate in the selection of the village guard team. Joining the guard team can increase the family's extra income.
, each person gets a salary of about one gold coin per month, and the four of you add up to four gold coins, which is enough to make our family rich."
When Rosen heard this, why did he feel like the children were being sold?
But it’s not a problem if you think about it. After all, Irene has to support a family by herself, which is a lot of pressure. Her job is to occasionally collect dirty clothes from the escort team for washing in exchange for payment, and her monthly income is only more than 300 silver coins.
Just barely providing them with food and clothing.
If the children can successfully join the guard, even if they only hit one, they will have a monthly income of one gold coin, and the family's total monthly income will be doubled several times!
"Of course, you can't force this matter. Irene and I have discussed it. From now on, the heavy work at home will be left to me. Johnson's quality will definitely enable him to join the escort. The remaining three of you, just let it happen." Zeno nodded slowly and said.
"It is also my wish to join the Guards. I heard that every new member can be trained until they can defeat the Minotaur and then graduate!" Johnson said with longing.
Glancing at Johnson, Rosen looked at the table and pondered for a moment. To be honest, he also had the idea of joining the escort, because then he would have a legitimate reason to sleep during the day and travel at night, which would allow him to pour blood at night.
The bats were released to help suck blood and replenish his vitality.
On the other hand, from the original point of view, he can also contribute his share to the family. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone.
The food on the table was quickly plated, and Zeno took the initiative to put away the plates and go into the kitchen to clean them, and asked the children to register at the guard office early.
Rosen always felt that Zeno wanted to create an opportunity to be alone with Irene, and thought to himself: "Zeno, this lsp, should be more careful."
Secretly release the blood bat and let the little guy hide on the beam. If Zeno dares to mess with Irene, let the blood bat appear and scare him away.
Rosen, Jenny, and Ada, led by Johnson, left the house and walked towards the village guard management office.
"Hey, you four, what are you doing?!" A shout came from not far away on the street.
Following the sound, a group of children about the same age as them, all thirteen or fourteen years old, came towards them. There were seven people in total. The boy in the head was fat, with a round figure. He was wearing beautiful silk and satin, neat and clean. Not to mention his figure and appearance, he is the most handsome boy in the village because of his clothing. He looks like he comes from a wealthy family.
In fact, this is also true.
This fat guy's name is Meide, and he is the son of a wealthy businessman in the village, Bo De. In his early years, Bo De was the first person in the village to make a fortune. Later, he got the opportunity to get close to the mayor, and took advantage of the express train of connections to expand his business to the town. But. What he did were all unscrupulous things, and his son also inherited his insidiousness and cunning. He usually bullied men and dominated women, and did all kinds of evil, so he was nicknamed "No Virtue".
"You guys, come here!" Mede pointed at them and shouted before they reached Rosen and the others.
"Come here if you can?" Ada didn't pamper him. She raised her middle finger and made a provocative move.
Med gave Ada a cold look, greeted the six followers behind him, and swaggered towards Rosen and others.
Rosen didn't pay attention to the fights among the children.
When Mede and others appeared in front of Rosen and the others, they pointed their fingers and said: "This street has been bought by my father. I will be the owner of this street from now on. You must obey my arrangements when you pass by. I will make you kneel down." If you are standing, you must kneel down!"
In my impression, Mede's stupid behavior has happened not once or twice.
As expected, someone will take action to punish him.
Johnson's thick palms pressed hard on Med's shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "You can't bear to let me kneel down. Are you itchy? Do you want to try to be lifted up by me again?"
"You can try it. If you do this, I will tell my father when I get home!" Mede took a step back with a wary look on his face, but his shoulder was firmly grasped.
"You can go back and file a complaint again. Anyway, I didn't get you hurt. You have no evidence. So what can your father do no matter how powerful he is?" Johnson looked like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, which just restrained Med's dandy temper. .
The followers Mede brought, even if he brought a few more, could not threaten Johnson. Even an adult, as long as he was not a strong man, Johnson would not look down upon.
This is Johnson, a muscular man of thirteen or fourteen years old!
"I want you to apologize to me. As long as you apologize, I will let you go. Apologize quickly!" Mede did not give in because of this.
Until that familiar feeling of weightlessness appeared again, Mede panicked.
The feeling of weightlessness is thrilling and uncomfortable. Although you won't be injured, you will feel dizzy and unable to stand up.
"Johnson, stop it, Mr. Bird won't allow you to do this!" Med's followers said.
"It's okay to tell Johnson to stop. Get out of here and don't trouble us again!" Ada took a step forward and pushed one of the followers. The follower staggered back two steps and almost fell down.
"Looking for a fight?!" The follower was not a vegetarian either. He took two steps forward and was about to fight back.
Ada hurriedly retreated behind Johnson, grimacing and saying: "Come on, come on, take another step forward if you have the guts!"
The follower was about to come up. Johnson pushed Med in his hand towards the follower, but the follower only had time to catch it. The fat man, who weighed more than 100 kilograms, almost crushed him. The other followers felt that the situation was not good, so they continued to wait and see.
Ada was so powerful that she mocked the person opposite: "As long as you take one more step forward, do you believe Johnson will slap you in the face? You are not Med, you don't have a powerful father, you have the courage.
Just come up?"
"Why, why don't you come over? Believe it or not, if you come over, I will beat the shit out of you?!" the followers were furious and yelled.
"I'm coming up, what's up?" Ada jumped forward and made a face.
Before the followers could catch him, Ada jumped back behind Johnson and said sarcastically: "I jumped back again, what can you do to me?"
Ada simply took advantage of Johnson's advantages to the extreme. No matter how many times he jumped horizontally, he could not force the followers to successfully catch him.
The followers were also fooled by Ada into losing their temper, and in the end they could only watch these people walking past on the street.
Rosen didn't pay too much attention to this kind of sideshow. To him, it was just a child's trick. He just watched a joke the whole time.
"Boss, let's let them go like this? Isn't this the street your father bought?"
"If you encounter such a ruffian, you will be ruined for eight lifetimes!" Med said angrily.
His face quickly turned cold. He looked at the bottle of lavender potion he took out of his pocket, and said with a cold smile: "It doesn't matter, just wait and see. Anyway, after finding Zeno this time, everything in the past will be different."
They will repay all the humiliation!"
"Let's go!" Mede's face was gloomy as he led the six followers and walked towards Eileen's house.
