Chapter 659 Just scriptures
  Eden tried to find the old man, but couldn't find him.

I don’t know where the old man who picked up the crumbs of his own cake went. Eden asked several people, but no one knew clearly. The people here didn’t care about the whereabouts of this mentally disturbed old man. According to their words: This crazy old man, go Anywhere is possible.

After he couldn't find it, Eden stopped looking. Anyway, he was just a passerby. Even if he found it, what would happen.

It was getting late, and he returned to the farmer's house where he stayed. The farmer's family warmly entertained the wealthy bachelor. They not only made his bed, but also served him broth to comfort him for his hard work on the journey.

"Phew...it's time to use the unlucky coin."

After confirming that he was settled in this town, Eden took out the unlucky coin from his pocket.

The best time to use unlucky coins is to use them in a stable environment. In that case, no matter how bad your luck is, it won't be too bad.

Thinking like this, Eden let his spirituality flow into the misfortune coin, established a connection with it, and then tossed it casually and put it back in his pocket.

After doing this, Eden closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

………………

"Get up, maester...get up."

In the middle of the night, when Eden opened his eyes in a daze, he found the farmer shaking his shoulders.

"what happened?"

Eden slowly got up from the bed and saw the farmer put a money bag in his hand with an apologetic look on his face.

The priest looked at it and saw that it was the cost of his stay.

"Sorry, maester, we can't stay here any longer. My two sons are back."

The farmer's voice was urgent and his throat was trembling.

"I can't stay overnight, what's going on?"

Eden said in shock.

How could it be so good that this farmer turned his back on the farmer?

"I really can't stay overnight. My two sons are back and they want to sleep there. There are no beds!"

The farmers persisted in driving Eden away.

"There's no bed... couldn't you put some weeds on the ground and make a temporary bed? Even if you really want to drive me away, why would you wake me up in the middle of the night?"

There was a hint of sullenness in Eden's tone.

The farmer froze, seemingly speechless. After a moment, he muttered:

"You really want to leave, my two sons are back..."

"What on earth... happened? What does this have to do with your two sons coming back?"

Eden wondered. He remembered that the farmer's two sons worked at the lord's house.

The farmer raised his head and said with a trembling voice:
  "They committed a crime."

Eden's eyes widened, then realization dawned on him.

No wonder the farmer wanted to drive him away in a hurry. His two sons must have committed an offense and ran back to seek refuge.

"Okay... okay, let me pack my things."

Eden didn’t ask much.

The farmer hurriedly added:
  "It's not a big deal... it's just an affair or adultery. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare let them in. You must never tell anyone about it."

He seemed to be afraid that Eden might mistake it for a serious crime such as murder.

"Anyway, maester, best wishes to you, goodbye."

After packing his things, Eden walked out of the farmer's house, rubbed his face, and tried to wake himself up.

Unexpectedly, I would be kicked out after sleeping most of the night.

It so happened that the two sons of the farmer were wanted for cheating and adultery, so they chose to go home to take refuge...

"Damn bad luck coin."

Eden muttered and touched the coins in his pocket.

I originally chose a stable environment to use the unlucky coins, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen. Looking around the town, the whole town was completely dark, the moon was sparse, and it was almost midnight. Eden could hardly see his hands and fingers. After being kicked out of the farmer's house, Eden didn't know where to go.

There are no hotels in this town, only taverns, and the taverns have long been closed. Even without the strict supervision of guards, people here work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Unlike Deschanel's bustling cities, people don't Where to stay up all night.

"We'll just have to wait until morning."

Eden found a place under a tree and waited helplessly for the passage of time.

The sun rises in the east, and the morning of the next day comes quickly. Some busy figures have already appeared in the farmland. The first to get up are women. They feed various livestock early in the morning, including barley, rye, chestnuts, and acorns. There's also a mix of various grains mixed with bits of grass, leaf fragments, and dung. Then the young and strong men got up, and they began to work in the fields, busy for their own livelihood.

Since the taverns in this town did not allow people to stay overnight, Eden could only look for a place to stay overnight in local people's homes.

Eden kept yawning, and he wanted to find a good place to sleep.

However, it backfired.

The people he found couldn't let him stay overnight due to various reasons.

For example, there is no one at home or only one person, and it is uneasy for a stranger to stay overnight. Or, the wife is pregnant and is about to give birth, and cannot be allowed to stay. Or, it was originally said to be fine, but the family suddenly objects and does not allow it. Eden is staying the night...

The hare ran in the fields, and the birds flew over the sky, returning to their nests on the eaves. They walked through most of the town, but Eden didn't even have a roof over his head.

Can't be found anywhere.

"Unlucky coin..."

Scratching his head in distress, Eden muttered, he didn't expect that his luck could be so bad.

He had reached the edge of the town, and there was a row of houses standing in front of him. Eden knocked on the door without any hope.

There was no response for a long time.

Eden sighed and was about to turn around and leave.

The door suddenly opened a crack.

Eden stopped and saw an old man walking out.

That was the mute old man who picked up the crumbs of his own cake.

"May you be blessed...can I...stay here for the night?"

Eden asked tentatively.

A dull stench kept coming from the house.

If you really stay here, then...do you want to stay in such a house with such an old man for several days? This is the power of the unlucky coin...the luck is really bad.

Eden couldn't help but think in his mind.

Waves of sleepiness swept through him, and Eden couldn't care less. He just wanted to sleep, so he took out his wallet from his bag.

wow.

The mute old man suddenly closed the door.

Eden was stunned for a moment, and then sighed helplessly.

"It seems...not possible."

After scratching his head and yawning, Eden looked around to see if there was anyone else who hadn't asked yet.

The door opened again suddenly.

Eden turned around and saw the mute old man standing by the door, pushing open Eden's purse and handing over a scripture with a moldy cover and yellowing pages.

He held it with one hand, pointed at the scripture with the other hand, and then pointed at his mouth.

"You want me to...read the scriptures inside to you?"

Eden guessed based on his gestures.

The mute old man nodded solemnly, then turned sideways to make way for Eden to enter the back room.

The old man didn't want the priest's money, as long as the priest read the scriptures to him.
