Lord Chronicle

Chapter 77 Kress Spring

The next day, the enthusiastic Reed began preparations for heading to the frozen plateau, while Thor talked to Manson and others separately, indicating that the construction of the territory had temporarily stopped.

Manson readily agreed. Anyway, Lovell is short of manpower, and road construction and other projects are intermittent when funds are sufficient.His current main job is to repair the destroyed houses at the entrance of the town, and use the good iron that Reed bought back to create suitable equipment for the recruits.

Unknowingly, as the autumn harvest approached, Jessica also became busy.In addition to handling daily affairs for the lazy Saul, she also organized the townspeople to rush to harvest grain and store it in storage for the coming of winter.

And every year around this time, the activities of Warcraft would intensify, and Kress also began to organize the defense team to dig traps and patrol up the mountain.The large-scale invasion of Warcraft last year is still vivid, and no one dares to be careless.

After going back and forth like this, everyone in the territory performed their own duties and was busy, which once again showed Sol, a guy who had nothing to do.

For trivial matters, he ignored Jessica's protest and pushed them to his steward.And recently it was a rare period of leisure, and nothing major happened.So when everyone in the territory is busy with their hands and feet, our lord is flustered with idleness.

After waking up early in the morning, he and Mira rushed to finish the breakfast delivered by Julie, and Sol began to wander around in what he dubbed "inspection".In fact, the content is also simple. For example, I usually bask in the sun in the yard in the morning. If Jessica is in a hurry, I will hide by the Yile River and go fishing.

He showed up on time at noon and had lunch. In the afternoon, he either went to the hospital to chat with Marlene, or wandered around the town, or went to Aunt Maisie's for afternoon tea, or went to see the Hitches Fried Research Laboratory with great interest. It was not until dinner that we returned to the Lord's Mansion again.

"Our lord? I've never seen him appear near the field." Uncle Lu Ya shook his head.

"My lord usually eats a lot of snacks for afternoon tea." This is the testimony of Aunt Maisie.

"The young master has been visiting me every day recently." Marlene said happily.

"Damn Saul, don't even come to chat with me." Kafir's face was very ugly.

"Where did that guy hide and be lazy?" Jessica usually gritted her teeth.

……

"Ah... this is the happy life of the lord I yearn for." In the past few days, Sol said with emotion more than once.

It's a pity that this is Lovell after all, and the reality is still far from Saul's ideal.After a few days of hiding with Jessica, our lord was sadly betrayed by his own people.

Early morning, by the River Ire.The sun is shining brightly and the breeze is gentle.

"Huh..." Thor opened his mouth wide and yawned, squeezing a tear from the corner of his eye.

The fishing rod in his hand shook slightly, and the buoys on the river surface also shook. Solyan lifted his hand, and with a soft sound of waves, a live fish had been thrown to the bank by him.

"The harvest is good." At this moment, someone said from behind.

Sol, who was removing the hook from the fish's mouth, replied without thinking: "It's okay, not as much as yesterday...Huh?"

Turning around suddenly, he saw that Jessica was standing behind her, staring at him with a half-smile.

"Jessica, you, how could you..." Thor stammered back two steps.

Jessica walked over with her hands behind her back, smiling: "Our lord is really kind, if Mr. Gary hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were hiding here every day."

Behind Jessica, Gary, the mill supervisor, guiltily avoided Sol's gaze.Sol hides here to fish these days, and he provides the fishing rod and bait.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, people's hearts..." Saul stumbled and sighed, he was too careless, forgetting that Jessica was Lovell's real boss.

I really failed as a lord, I was betrayed by my own people in just a few days.

Jessica raised a hand and threw a stack of documents: "Since you have had enough rest, shouldn't the lord start working? First, sign these documents. In addition, Mr. Manson asked me to send you to his workshop for a visit." trip."

After finishing speaking, ignoring Sol's "too much regret", she turned around and left after saying a word: "Also, Marlene was discharged from the hospital this afternoon. If you are free, go pick her up. The little girl will be very happy."

Seeing Jessica's back disappearing around the corner in astonishment, Sol looked at the fish that were still alive and kicking, then at the documents in his hand, sighed, and dropped the fishing rod.

Alas, when will the truly happy days come...

After Jessica left, Sol immediately looked at Gary with unkind eyes.

The two looked at each other.

Thor: "..., traitor."

Gary fell to his knees, hugging Sol's thigh and screaming: "I don't want to, my lord. Miss Jessica threatened me. If you don't tell me your whereabouts, you won't find me a replacement after the autumn harvest." Workers, you must know that I have to grind so much grain into flour by myself, and I won’t die from exhaustion.”

Secretly, he was so courageous that he dared to betray his immediate boss.Saul flipped through the documents, and said lightly: "Really? Congratulations. But these days, I found that the mills are a bit old. In case you are incompetent, I order you to clean every mill within two days." Clean, no dust allowed."

"What, what!?" Gary was shocked: "It's impossible for me to clean it by myself."

"See, I'm the lord, and I have to work hard. Do you think you can escape?" Sol shook the document in his hand.

After finishing speaking, he ignored Gary who was stunned, and turned to leave.

Soon, his wailing came from behind: "I regret it, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't be an informer, woo woo woo..."

************************************************** ************************
Although I was upset, but since I was caught by Jessica, I still had to deal with business.After Saul signed the documents, he came to the north of the town, Manson's workshop at the foot of Mount Mallorous.

It's always a busy scene here.The fire in the blacksmith shop was brightly lit, and a rush of heat could be felt from afar. The sound of tinkling and knocking could be heard endlessly, and thick smoke billowed into the air.

This is the headquarters of the Lovell Technology Department, the General Armament Department, and the Engineering Department. It is also the place where Lovell has the most workers besides the farmland, and Manson is fully responsible.

These very cool names are all taken by Saul.However, in fact, most of the work of the technical department and the engineering department includes repairing damaged houses and stables for the residents of the territory, dredging the sewers, and even helping the garrison to jointly deal with trivial matters such as fire accidents.And most of the products of the General Armament Department are pots and pans and farm tools.

Therefore, when Sol expanded these three departments to the scale that fit their names, they also had another nickname, which was called the "Four Money-burning Holes" together with Hitches' magic research room.

There is no way, before the products can be turned into economic benefits, all these places need Sol's continuous investment.This is also the reason why tens of thousands of gold coins were enough in the past, but now there are hundreds of thousands of Reeds who are crying poor.

Many blacksmiths here are refugees from Lulin. They brought the excellent iron-making technology of the military empire, and many apprentices followed Manson to learn the blacksmithing skills of the dwarves.Now, except for the raw materials that need to be purchased from outside, all the equipment and tools in the territory are self-sufficient.

Seeing Sol, the busy blacksmiths all saluted him respectfully. In the hearts of these Lulin refugees, Sol was a great hero who saved their loved ones.

Sol smiled and greeted these greasy and sweaty men. They are all valuable talents for the future development of the territory.Passing through the blacksmith shop full of scrap metal slag, he came to Manson's workshop.

Before entering the door, I heard the rough voice of the dwarf coming from inside: "Maloney, this is the list of damaged agricultural tools sent by Miss Jessica. You take a few people and fix them as soon as possible."

"Tell Sauron and the others to hurry up and build the house at the entrance of the town. Many people are waiting to live in it. In addition, I also need to free up manpower to make the weapons for the recruits."

"What, that Hitches blew up the laboratory again? Damn it, Kabir, you take your assistant to solve it, remember, just build a straw shed."

"Barger, you draw up a list and give it to Reed to ask him to purchase a batch of raw materials..."

Following Manson's orders, blacksmiths kept rushing out of his workshop.Although the dwarves are all fanatical forgers, Manson, who has rich experience as a businessman, also possesses strong organizational skills. Under his vigorous and resolute leadership, the three departments are operating with extremely high efficiency.

Seeing Thor, Manson immediately greeted him: "My lord, the blueprint you gave me last time has been made."

Seeing that the recruits were still using primitive tools when building roads, Sol drew drawings of a pickaxe shovel and a wheelbarrow and threw them to Manson, asking him to make a prototype as soon as possible, but he did not expect it to be done so quickly.

These two things are simple in structure, but they are the most basic and effective tools for civil construction.In particular, the wheelbarrow can transport sand and soil in large quantities conveniently and quickly, and it is also applicable in small places.

Under the leadership of Manson, Saul came to an open space next to the workshop, a wheelbarrow was leaning against a tree, and a pickaxe shovel was placed beside it.Manson went over to dig a few times on the ground with a shovel, and praised: "The design of the lord is really amazing. Using this tool makes digging much more convenient. If it is used to dig mines, the efficiency will be improved a lot. It's just that Why does the car only have one wheel, won't it be unstable?"

Sol said: "This is for the convenience of using it in narrow places. As long as you hold on to the armrests on both sides, it will be very stable, like this..." As he said, he gave Manson a drill.

Manson looked at Saul with admiration: "You can design such an ingenious tool, the lord is really a genius craftsman."

Saul could only accept these praises well-deservedly, and he couldn't explain it to Manson anyway, so he might as well be a shameless pirate.

Manson stepped forward and looked at the wheelbarrow fondly: "If you use this kind of wheelbarrow, one person can transport hundreds of kilograms of things, especially in narrow and difficult mountainous areas."

Hearing what he said, Sol tentatively asked: "What do you think if these things are mass-produced and sold?"

Manson said without hesitation: "It will definitely make a lot of money. These tools are very useful, not only for humans, but I think the dwarves of Pangradin will definitely be more interested."

For those pure dwarves, the meaning of life is mining and forging. If there are these two things that can greatly improve efficiency, it is no wonder that they are not popular.

Saul was overjoyed, and immediately had the idea of ​​mass production.This thing can not only make money, maybe you can use it to build relationships with those forging madmen, and it will definitely benefit a lot.

In the past, because of insufficient funds, Sol could only hand over businesses such as water trucks.Now he heard that the Bahraini leader had sold the waterwheel to the whole of Dinard and made an unknown amount of money, and the businessmen who made folding chairs also made a lot of money, and he regretted it in private.Now that there are new inventions, of course they must be grasped.

But Manson said worriedly: "But making these requires a lot of workers, especially iron, which needs to be purchased in large quantities from outside, so it may be difficult to mass-produce."

Saul was dumbfounded as soon as he heard it. What Lovell lacked the most was manpower. How could he forget this?But this is not the most troublesome thing, workers can go to other places to hire.The iron ore cannot be self-produced, which is the most terrible thing.

If all raw materials need to be imported from outside, let alone the trouble, the production cost will increase linearly, and the supply may be cut off by the other party at any time, which is controlled by others.

Lovell has a lot of wood, but with such a large mountain range, is it true that there is no iron ore at all?Thinking of this, Sol couldn't help turning his eyes to the stretching Mallor Mountains.

It seems that Manson will have to go to the mountains to explore the ore veins in the future.

But even if they can find iron ore, they have to wait for Reed to earn enough money back, and there is no rush, so Sol decides to leave it alone for the time being.He said to Manson: "Then you can lead people to make enough for us first."

Manson nodded: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Discussed some things with Manson again, and saw that it was approaching noon, and Saul said goodbye and left.

He ate lunch at Aunt Maisie's in town, then wandered around in a few shops, picked out a pretty scarf, and hurried off to the hospital.

In the afternoon, at the gate of the hospital, Kaffir sent the cured Marlene to the gate.

"You have just recuperated, you must pay more attention to rest." She told Marlene.

Marlene said obediently: "I see, Sister Kafir, I am grateful for your care these days."

As soon as she turned around, Marlene heard a strange cry: "My little Marlene, you have finally been discharged from the hospital." Immediately, her body lightened, and someone hugged her.

"Master." Looking at Sol who was hugging her, she smiled happily.

"How are you, are you okay?" Saul put her down.

"Well, I'm fine." Marlene nodded, trying to make an "I'm healthy" posture.

"Haha, then I'm relieved. Here, this is a gift to congratulate you on being discharged from the hospital." Sol patted her little head, took out a scarf from his pocket, and tied it for Marlene.

As Jessica said, Marlene was so happy when Saul came to pick her up and leave the hospital.Seeing the gift that Saul gave her, her little face almost died of laughter.

"Thank you, young master, I will definitely keep it well." Marlene said seriously.

"Then let's go back." Saul pulled Marlene and was about to leave.

"Sol—" came a drawn-out call suddenly from behind him.

Surprised, Sol turned his head in embarrassment, but Kafir, who was full of anger, was staring at him fiercely.

"Ahaha, Kafir, how are you?" Sol bit the bullet and greeted.

"It's not good at all, because I haven't seen someone for a long time." Kafir snorted.

"Uh...how could it be, someone must be too busy recently and have no time to see you." Sol smiled wryly.

Kafir said angrily: "Then why did you just ignore me?"

Saul was at a loss for words, and for a while he looked away guilty: "I don't know..."

"You..." Enraged by his rogue behavior, Kafir habitually touched his waist, only to realize that he didn't have the mace on him.

Seeing that she was going to get mad, Sol didn't dare to stay, and ran away with Marlene.

"Sol, come back to me!" Kafir was furious.

"I'll go and ask that so-and-so for you, and I'll answer you later." Sol's voice came from far away.

Pulling Marlene back to the lord's mansion, the two of them sat down on the steps in front of the door, gasping for breath.

"Master, why did you run away when you saw Sister Kafir?" Marlene asked strangely.

If you don't run in secret, do you want to open a hole in your head?Sol smiled wryly, "Because she's too fierce."

Marlene didn't believe it: "Why? Sister Kafir is very kind and treats me very well."

That's the real face of this woman you haven't seen before, Sol secretly slandered.He laughed dryly: "Stop talking about this, come on, let's enter the room first, and introduce another friend to you."

"Is that the girl named Mira?" Marlene asked.

Sol was surprised: "You know her?"

Marlene nodded: "Many people have mentioned her when they came to visit the sick. Brother Kress said that this is the only person he can't eat; sister Julie said that she can bury food like a fox; and Jie Sister Sika said..."

"Wow, stop! Stop!" Saul hurriedly called to stop.Make no mistake, to feed Marlene these weird ideas, like I'm raising monsters.

After opening the door and Marlene walked into the room, Sol yelled twice: "Mira, Mira, where are you?"

The room was silent, and there was no response.Saul muttered, "Run out again?"

"It's okay, anyway, sister Jessica said that as soon as it's time for dinner, you will definitely see the young master and her. It's getting late, I'll go prepare dinner first." Marlene rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the kitchen. It can be seen that this little girl still cares about Sol's sentence "I like to eat the food you cook the most".

Sol felt very depressed, what does this mean?Am I the same as that girl Mira...

Unexpectedly, after only a moment, Marlene's scream came from the kitchen.

"Marlene, what's the matter?" Saul rushed in three steps at a time.

"Master, a black shadow snatched the sausage from me just now." Marlene looked terrified.

Saul covered his face with a snap, and needless to say, he knew who it was.

"Mira, come out for me." He said with a straight face.

Hearing a hee hee, something suddenly hangs down from the ceiling, hanging in the air, it is Mira.With the sausage in her mouth, she hung upside down on the beam, proudly looking at Marlene who was still in shock.

"You are Mira?" Marlene looked at the dirty girl dangling in the air.

With a hook of both feet, Mira flexibly rolled over in mid-air and landed.With a sausage in her mouth and her hands behind her back, she kept circling around Marlene as if looking at something interesting.

"That's the material for dinner, give it back to me." Marlene reached out to grab it.

Mila stepped back a few meters away, swallowed the sausage in two bites, and then picked up a tomato from the vegetable basket in a demonstration, and gnawed her face with juice.

Marlene was really angry, she said angrily: "The kitchen is my place, you are not allowed to mess around." Then she rushed over.

Strange to say, Mira, who was fearless, turned around and ran away.So the two girls chased from the kitchen to the living room, and then ran out of the yard.

Listening to the noisy noise from outside, Sol couldn't help sighing: It's quite lively now.

************************************************** *******************************
After Marlene came back, she firmly regained control of the kitchen, and did not allow Mira to do whatever she wanted.What is surprising is that, wondering if it was Marlene's excellent cooking skills that captured the girl, Mira actually acquiesced that Marlene occupied her most important source of food.

The two little girls hit it off quite well, and they were often tired of being together. Mira continued to live in Marlene's room, but every night when she took a bath, Marlene would chase her all over the house.Now apart from Saul, Mira only listens to Marlene, not even Jessica, which makes people wonder.

The days are spent day by day in this full of lively calm, until one day...

"What, the Autumn Harvest Festival?" Sol raised his head in surprise.

"Yeah, you won't forget, right?" Jessica asked strangely.

Sol was silent for a moment, it turned out that it has been a year since he came to this world.

A year ago, when he had just taken over the territory, he encountered the Lulin refugee invasion.After that, he used the name of the Autumn Harvest Festival to bridge the gap between the Lowell people and the Lulin refugees.

In the year after that, too many things happened, before Sol realized that the second autumn harvest festival had come quietly.

"This year's autumn harvest festival, we still plan to hold a garden party like last year, and everyone is looking forward to it. What do you think?" Jessica asked again.

Although the undead invasion occurred not long ago, people have gradually forgotten the disaster.Coupled with the abundant grain harvest this year, and Reid's caravan bringing sufficient supplies to the territory, people's enthusiasm is extremely high.

Of course Saul would not refuse: "Let's do it then. Don't be polite if you need anything, even if you let Reed do the shopping, everyone has worked hard for a year, just take a break."

Five days later, under Jessica's careful arrangement, Lovell's annual autumn harvest festival and the second garden party began on a night when the full moon was high.

This time, the meeting place was set at the south side of the town, in an open space near the River Ire.At that time, the sky was illuminated by moonlight and the breeze was blowing. The red lanterns made by Manson were arranged in the garden venue, creating a festive atmosphere.The Yire River reflected the red broken shadows of the lanterns, as if there were countless river lanterns floating.

Different from last year, this year the people of Lovell, who have no worries about food and clothing, are trying their best to show off their talents at the garden fair.Parents and children walked slowly among the criss-crossing booths in festive costumes, and cheerful noises came from everywhere from time to time.

Sol's idea this year is to sell paper masks. He borrowed a few skilled craftsmen from Manson and designed the mask patterns himself.From the Monkey King in Peking Opera facial makeup, to Ultraman Superman, and even Sailor Moon, as long as it is popular with children in memory, he will never refuse it.

This move was really popular. Although I don’t know what the mask painting is, it is clear that the aesthetics of children in the two worlds are similar. Sol’s mask stand is booming, far surpassing Manson’s stand of hand-carved wooden dolls. trend.

Marlene took over his business from last year, fishing for small goldfish.The little girl seemed to be very interested in this activity. Different from Sol’s laziness, she arranged the stalls beautifully with girl’s special care, and all kinds of small fish were also colorful, which was very popular among children.

The only trouble is that she has to stop her voracious collaborator from time to time.

"Don't put your head in the water, Mira, those fish are not for you."

"Come on, come on, fresh and hot barbecue, grilled on a strong fire, tastes great." At another stall, Lesta's rough voice came out.

Originally Sol's plan was to set up a stage for Kafir and the snake demon Xiaomei to perform a "human-snake sexy show" together, but he was almost beaten into a pig's head.In desperation, the three brothers and sisters took the next best thing and started selling Lesta's best barbecue.

The delicious little fragrant pig hunted by Dylan himself is now being skinned and washed, and skewered on the blazing grill.Lesta put a chef's hat on his head, revealing his strong muscles. He roasted the fresh and tender pork into a charming golden color, and the strong aroma spread throughout the venue.

But the most attractive thing is Kafir. Under Lesta's insistence, the beautiful girl is dressed in cool clothes and holds a knife to sell meat, attracting a large group of young people in the town.

But some people are happy, and naturally some people are depressed.

In front of the garrison's stall, the recruit who had just carried a fat man on his back asked Kress out of breath, "Captain, why are we running around with these kids on our backs?"

Vice-captain Boqi reprimanded: "Stop talking nonsense, this is the tradition of our defense team."

The recruit couldn't help wailing: "Is there any mistake? The garden party is only held for the second time. Where do we have such a tradition?"

With this group of rookies, this year's business naturally does not require veterans to play in person.They leisurely take on duties such as selling tickets, and push the most difficult "backing people" to these poor recruits.

A veteran grabbed a handful of silver coins and slapped him on the back of the head honestly and bluntly: "There are so many complaints, this is also a kind of exercise. Business is here, work quickly."

"Oh my God." The recruit screamed, had no choice but to carry the expectant child on his back, and started running around the venue again.

But obviously, Lesta is a bit out of shape today.In times like this before, his interest was higher than anyone else's, but tonight he was a little absent-minded.

Our garrison captain, a rare first-class swordsman, is wearing formal attire. The "iron mound" that never leaves his body is shiny, and his hair is carefully combed.What is particularly suspicious is that there is a large bouquet of carefully tied flowers behind Kress's back, as if he is going to give it to someone.This is unusual for him who is always sloppy.

It's a pity that our guards were immersed in the cheerful atmosphere of the garden party and didn't realize this.Kress' eyes had been patrolling the venue, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he stood up abruptly.

"It must be successful, it must be successful!" He murmured, with an extremely serious expression, as if he was about to participate in a difficult duel.

As if making up his mind, Kress patted his chest, and said to Boqi, "Boqi, I have something to leave for a while, please take care of me."

Boqi hummed, and continued to discuss tonight's profit with another defensive player. He didn't notice that his captain quietly picked up the bouquet of flowers, and mixed into the crowd with a flushed face.

Not long after, a recruit finished his work and returned to the stall.He asked Pochi strangely: "Vice Captain, does Captain Kress have a date tonight?"

"Dating?" Boqi was taken aback, "Why do you ask that?"

The recruit said: "Just now I saw the captain in the crowd, holding a large bouquet of flowers in his hand, and followed a girl there."

"What?" "You read that right, right?" "Our captain will chase after girls?"...

In an instant, all the guards around surrounded him with gossipy faces.

"Are you serious?" Pochi also looked in disbelief.

The recruit swore, "Of course it's true. It's just because I'm the captain that I took a second look."

"Speaking of which, the captain is indeed a bit strange today."

"And it's so neatly dressed, it doesn't look like him."

The defensive players on the side immediately started a chattering discussion.

"It's weird." Pochi's eyes flashed brightly.

After thinking for a while, he quickly ordered: "Veterans follow me, and the others stay behind."

"What?" "We want to go too." "Vice Captain, you're too biased." The recruits protested.

Boqi took out the authority of the vice-captain: "Stop talking nonsense, rookies are not qualified to protest."

After saying that, ignoring the pitiful eyes of the recruits, a group of guards rushed out.

Squatting on the ground, Pochi used his ability to track monsters in the deep mountains, picked up a pinch of soil and smelled it, and then sprinkled it into the air: "According to the traces, the captain went to the forest for no more than 10 minutes. "

"Vice-Captain, isn't it good for us to follow?" Lance the defensive player hesitated.

Poqi took it for granted: "What's this called? I'm concerned about the captain's life. Don't you want to find out who he's after?"

A group of people nodded their heads without hesitation.

"That's right." Boqi stood up and gave a smirk: "Well, you captain, you actually picked up girls without telling us. How can it be so easy to get rid of the brothers and go it alone?"

After saying that, he waved his hand with pride: "Follow me!" You should go first.

************************************************** ***********************************
"Master, have you seen Mira?" Marlene came to Sol's stall.

"No, what's the matter?" Saul asked strangely.

Marlene held up a finger: "She suddenly disappeared just now, and she didn't know where she went."

"It's nothing, she must be too bored and wandered elsewhere." Sol said indifferently.

Suddenly he came back to his senses: "No, the food for tonight's banquet is stored in the warehouse in the woods over there. Could this girl sneak past after smelling it?"

With Mira's appetite, she can definitely eat up all those foods, so what else will she use for the dinner party?You know, for this meal, many people didn't even eat dinner.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, Sol couldn't sit still.He said to Marlene, "I'll go find it, and you continue to set up a stall."

Marlene nodded and walked to her stall.Sol asked a craftsman to take care of him, and he was about to go to the woods.After taking two steps, he turned back and grabbed a few masks.

That girl is very obsessed with food, she needs something to divert her attention.

At the same time, in front of the barbecue stand of the three brothers and sisters in the dead group.

"Huh..." Kafir raised his wrist and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The business was very good tonight, and she was exhausted.

Just when Kafir was thinking about whether to send some barbecue to Sol, she suddenly saw Sol leaving his stall in a hurry and running towards the woods.Kafir's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fist: "Good opportunity!"
It had been a long time since the two of them had seen each other alone because Sol was always avoiding her, and she had been morose about it.Although I don't know what he is going to do, isn't it a great opportunity to be alone and in the woods with no one at this moment?
Throwing down the knife, Kafir said to Lesta: "Brother, I have something to leave for a while."

"Sister, business is so busy, where are you going?" Lesta was in a hurry, and just as he was about to stop him, Kafir had already run away.

"This girl is real." Lesta shook her head depressedly, and had no choice but to walk to Kafir's position covered in oil and sweat: "Now I will serve everyone, please welcome."

"Cut—" Unexpectedly, there was a burst of boos in return.

"Let's go." In front of the stall that was still full of people just now, a group of young people dispersed one after another.

"Tsk, a bunch of brats..." Kress thrust the knife into the chopping board viciously.

At this time, in front of Aunt Maisie's stall.

"Huh, it's really lively." The old manager Vince, who hadn't shown up for a long time, looked at the garden party with people coming and going with a smile.

Sitting next to him is Jessica, who, as this year's organizer, did not participate in any of the programs.After finally being free, I chatted with my grandfather here.

"It's all thanks to Miss Jessica." The village chief Albert, who was sitting opposite, laughed.

Jessica said embarrassingly: "This is what I should do. Thanks to everyone's efforts this year, so many things happened in the territory, and nothing happened in the end. If the village chief Albert thanked him, he would thank the lord , if it weren't for him, how could the territory have the current development."

Vince couldn't help laughing: "Usually you always complain in front of me, why did you say something nice for the young master today?"

Jessica was ashamed: "Grandpa, I'm just telling the truth."

Speaking of Saul, several people couldn't help looking at his stall.Albert also said: "The lord really has a lot of strange ideas. I don't even know what the masks he made, but they are very popular with children."

Vince looked proud: "I watched the young master grow up, and no one is smarter than him."

"Hey, where's the person?" It was Jessica who was surprised to see no one in front of the booth.

Albert twirled his beard: "Just now I saw that the lord was so yearning to go to the woods."

"What is he doing in the woods?" Jessica pricked up her ears.

At this moment, she saw Kafir also hurried to the woods.

Vince narrowed his eyes: "Isn't that Kafir, why did she run to the woods?"

"Hmph, who knows." Jessica snorted pretending not to care.

Her girl's thoughts could not be hidden from these two spirits, Albert and Vince smiled at each other.

"Then, let's sit with us two old men, okay?" Albert smiled.

"Of, of course." Jessica was still talking hard, but her eyes couldn't help but drift to that side.

"Maisie, another bottle of cider." Vince raised his hand.

Maisie walked over wiping her hands with an apron, with a sorry face on her face: "I'm really sorry, the business is so good tonight, the wine is sold out. But I asked Julie to go to the warehouse in the woods to get it, and I'll be back soon."

Seeing that Kafir had already run into the woods, Jessica couldn't sit still anymore.She stood up at once: "Grandpa, I, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I need to leave."

"Hehe, let's go." Vince waved his hand in understanding.

Knowing that she had been spotted, Jessica blushed with shame, but now that the matter was urgent, she didn't care too much. She bowed to the two old people, and she also hurriedly left.

"Oh, it's nice to be young." Looking at his granddaughter's back, Vince sighed with emotion.

"Yeah." Albert leaned back in the chair and sighed.
