, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the hero who troubles the hero!

The young man who was chased by the wolf down the tree came to Charles and their car, and said a lot of words of thanks.

Then Charles invited the father and son to sit in the back of the carriage, and they stopped by for the next part of the journey.

Diana also came to the car, and she was playing with the young man's son.

"What's your name, little one?" Diana asked.

The child stared at Diana blankly, but did not speak.

Diana poked the child's fat face, and said, "Tell my sister your name, and said that my sister invited you to eat candy."

As a result, the boy still did not speak.

The father of the child sitting across from the truck said a little embarrassedly: "His name is Bush. This child is a little afraid of life. You are the first stranger who hugged him and didn't cry."

Diana just smiled and teased little Bush with a lollipop she bought in Abyss.

She is now in full control of the charm of her Veela physique, and she is only reopening it a little now, otherwise this little Bush would have cried a long time ago.

"Bush" means bush, and little Bush's father is named Butcher, who is a butcher as his name suggests.

It's just that this butcher can kill pigs, and if he faces a few wild wolves, he has to run away.

Butchers are a decent job in the city, just because they can often get the offal, bones and other scraps of those livestock to come back to eat, they can often eat meat, which is enough to make them in the surrounding villages when they marry their wives. The girl chooses at will.

Fortunately, Butcher can eat meat often, so he has a good physique, so he can climb the tree with the child on his back before being overtaken by the wild wolf.

Diana was teaching little Bush how to eat lollipops, and Charles was there chatting with Butcher.

Butcher is different from his son. He is a chatty man. He said a little depressedly: "Today I brought a pair of intestines and wanted to open a meal for my father-in-law's family. Go grab it and follow us."

Charles said with a bit of resentment: "Why didn't you come all the way with the caravan, it's too dangerous."

Butcher said helplessly: "The city has been a little chaotic recently, there are a lot less caravans, and even less meat. I thought that since the business is not good, I'll just take the child to his mother's place to help Lao-in-law's Xia settle the bill. ."

"Fortunately, I met you guys today, otherwise we would have lived in a tree."

Charles continued to complain about him, "Fortunately, you encountered ordinary wild wolves. If it was a monster, you would be in the wolf's belly now."

After complaining, he changed the subject.

During the political turmoil, fewer caravans and adventurers went out, so the beasts and monsters that would have been cleaned up by the adventurers also began to run near the city, which posed a threat to ordinary people like Butcher.

In the afternoon, the carriage came outside the village of Butcher's old man's family.

Outside the village is a large golden rice field, and in the distance is a huge waterwheel. The ears of rice that are about to be harvested are heavy, and a gust of wind blows through like waves.

At this time, the rice fields were very lively, and a group of people were catching fish in the fields.

It has been more than 300 years since Philip brought the techniques of raising fish and ducks in rice fields to the world, and the relevant experience has been extremely mature.

When the rice was about to be harvested, the farmers began to drain the water from the fields, and the fish swam into the fish ditch beside the fields and were caught by the farmers.

On the way into the village, not far from the village, a peasant woman was leading a donkey back to the village. The donkey was carrying two baskets with a lot of fish.

The little Bush that Diana was holding suddenly stood up and shouted to the peasant woman, "Mother! Mama!"

The peasant woman turned her head, and the expression on her face was obviously very surprised.

When she saw Butcher and Little Bush in the carriage waving to her, she hurriedly dropped the donkey and trotted over.

Butcher's wife obviously had a good diet in the past, her figure was much rounder than that of ordinary women, and she was even more swaying when she ran.

The Butcher family hugged little Bush and asked Butcher, "Why did you come here?"

Butcher scratched his head and said, "The business in the city has been bad recently, so I brought my children here to help."

The Butcher family didn't say anything. She would come back to help when the farming was busy, and occasionally her husband would come back. She sat little Bush on the donkey, and invited Charles to their house for the night.

Charles agreed and drove the carriage to the village.

There are twenty or thirty families in this village, and the houses are basically rammed earth houses mixed with some thatched houses. A few of the roofs of these houses are tile roofs, and most of the others are straw roofs.

Not long after entering the village, Charles and Diana discovered something interesting.

There are more or less waxed ducks hanging under the eaves of the house, and there are many drying pots in front of and behind the house.

Charles drove the carriage to the small square in the center of the village, and took out a rattle and shook it there.

Diana couldn't help laughing at the way he was shaking the rattle, and Charles gave her an angry look.

When the villagers in the village heard the sound, they knew that there was a walking merchant coming, and they came out to see what was worth buying.

Charles saw that the time for summer harvest and summer planting was approaching, so he bought a lot of farm tools such as sickles and hoes, all of which were common items commonly used by farmers. In addition to these, there were some daily necessities such as sewing needles and twine.

Today's business is okay, perhaps because there are no traveling merchants recently.

By the time the sun started to go down and the smoke was rising, Charles sold a few sickles and hoes, and Diana sold a few needles and a lot of bobbins. If they didn't feed the horses, they would have made some hard work today. money.

People in the village occasionally do some chores, and some people sell a few pairs of wooden shoes, and Charles accepts them when he sees that the quality and price are good.

Another ten-year-old child asked Charles if he wanted someone to cut the horse grass for him, and Charles gave him two sacks for him to cut the grass.

At this time, an old man in his forties found Charles and the others, and his bare feet were still full of silt.

This is Butcher's old husband, he came to invite Charles and the others to dinner at home.

Butcher's father-in-law's family is not far from the village wall. The entrance is the hall, and behind a wooden wall is the place to put farm tools. There are two wing rooms on the left and right sides, and the kitchen and toilet are at the back of the house.

This layout became more familiar the more Charles looked at it. This was the layout of the earthen houses in his home village in the 1980s and 1990s.

Even in 2019, when a durian went to the countryside for the appraisal of dilapidated houses in June, there were still a few such houses interspersed among the cement houses in the mountain village, and these houses are expected to be completely demolished and rebuilt by 2020.

As the saying goes, if there is a problem, throw it on the head of Philip's ancestors. It is estimated that this kind of house was designed by him.

When Charles and the others followed their husband to the front of the house, they saw Butcher killing fish outside the door.

He cut open the belly of the fish, cleaned the guts and gills, and then used well water to remove the fish's blood.

Little Bush squatted beside him, with a small shovel in his hand, earnestly shoveling the guts of the fish into a small wooden bucket.

Then Butcher's wife scolded Butcher for almost causing his son to be eaten by wolves today, took the fish, then drank the water from the fish, flattened it into a clay pot, and then poured in a little rice to make it of pickled glutinous rice.

It looks like this is to pickle the fish sour.

Butcher's father-in-law's family are all real people. They don't say thank you as much as Butcher. They took a wax duck from under the roof and put it in the rice and cooked it together. After cutting it, they gave each to Charles and Diana. Duck leg and a large piece of meat near the duck leg.

The summer harvest has begun, and the farmers who "drink when they are free and eat dry when they are busy" have also begun to "eat dry when they are busy".

After a dinner, the sky was completely dark~www.wuxiaspot.com~ A group of young patrols from the village passed by the house, and took the fish that Butcher had just killed. Barrel guts.

There are several guard dogs and cats that catch mice in the village, which belong to the property of the whole village. After the internal organs of these fish are cooked, they are fed to the dogs and cats.

Butcher's mother-in-law packed a wing for Charles and Diana to rest tonight, and smoked the mosquitoes with herbs commonly found on the fields.

At this time, the child who helped to cut the horse grass came to Charles with two bags of grass. Charles flipped the weight, looked at the grass that was usually used for horses, and gave him a few coins.

This draught horse is a breed that is not picky, but its strength and endurance are not very strong, and it is cheap. It is the best choice for beginners.

If it were those strong haul horses, the feed money could put a small businessman like Charles out of business.

Charles returned to the room after feeding the horses and saw that Diana had already made the mat.

The agricultural envoy went to bed early in the village, and Charles and the others followed the local customs.
