The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

A brook meanders by the edge of the forest, and beside the brook, where the water babbles, a rough water mill is built.

Close to the water mill, there are random houses built of mixed mud and wood, and the houses are covered with dense yellow thatch.

A winding stone path connects these humble houses in series.

Going around these shabby houses, there is a pig house, a chicken coop and a kennel. The stench produced by different livestock is mixed together, like a chemical chemical bomb, which lingers in this area for a long time .

In front of these livestock dwellings, there are low shack-like houses. These shacks are dilapidated and almost leak from all sides.

If the humble houses next to the water mill can be called country houses, then these shacks are poor houses, refugee slums!

Beyond the slums is a wall surrounded by wood!

With the water mill as the center and the two ends of the stream as the starting point, the semicircular wall surrounded by wood is the whole picture of this small village next to the forest!

As night approached, the whole village was plunged into darkness. If it wasn't for the moon not being stingy with its brilliance, the whole village could be said to be completely invisible.

The village is full of poor families, and few families are willing to light such expensive things as oil candles!

There is only one exception, a double-row "luxury" house located three meters away from the water mill, with dim lights shining through the gaps in the house.

This is Robert's home.

Robert's family is a well-known rich family in the village. They have a lot of land. Because they can't grow it by themselves, they choose to rent it out to other poor people in the village who don't have land. Their family is well-known in the village!

However, in addition to the fact that the family is well-off, which makes the villagers talk about it, the fact that Robert's family has no children is also an enduring topic in the villagers' chats.

Behind the vulgar chatter of the villagers, there are pairs of hungry eyes hidden.

The villagers are all waiting, when will the Robert family, who have no children to inherit their property, be unable to keep their property?

Of course not now, Robert is in his prime, and Mrs. Robert has a cylindrical figure that is rarely seen in the village, and the wild men in the village dare not think of them at all!

But this is all temporary.

Because whether it is the villagers or the Robert family, they all understand that people will always grow old.

Robert and his wife are not young anymore, and they cannot keep this inheritance forever.

Of course, that's for later.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …

At this time, in the room with dim lights, Mrs. Robert, who looks like a fat Russian aunt, is glaring angrily at the middle-aged man in front of her. The first person to arrive, the villager who delivers food to Rapunzel!

And William was standing next to this villager, the so-called Robert, with pursed lips and a flat expression. Even Mrs. Robert pointed with a finger like a fat intestine, showing no sign of anger.

"Robert, are you crazy? It's fine if you take him to that tower, and you take him home? Don't you think there's too much food at home? It's better for me to raise a donkey than to give you this What a waste of a stupid pig!" Mrs. Robert was in a hurry, pointing at William angrily and scolding her husband.

Because I was too excited and my body was too fat, after cursing these words in one breath, I was a little out of breath, as if I was out of breath and had difficulty breathing.

Robert was terrified, and rushed to Mrs. Robert's side, patted her on the back to comfort her, and it took a while for Mrs. Robert to recover.

As soon as she recovered, Mrs. Robert clapped Mr. Robert's hand away angrily, and looked at him bitterly.

Mr. Robert smiled wryly, and immediately changed into an apologetic smile,

Turning to Mrs. Robert, he said disgustingly, "Martha, listen to me!"

Mrs. Robert turned her back and refused to listen.

Undaunted, Mr. Robert trotted to the side where Mrs. Robert turned.

Mrs. Robert turned around angrily again, and Mr. Robert chased him again.

After repeating this several times, when William was tired of watching and couldn't help but feel sleepy, Mrs. Robert's anger barely subsided, and she was willing to listen to Mr. Robert's explanation.

"Martha, I brought him back for a reason."'

"Oh, you want to tell me that he is your illegitimate child, right?" Mrs. Robert sarcastically said, of course, she also knew that this was impossible.

"Oh, by the Holy Light, Martha, my love for you has been verified by God. How could I do something to betray you!" Mr. Robert immediately vowed.

"Hmph!" Mrs. Robert snorted coldly, but knowing that her husband was telling the truth, she stopped being sarcastic and looked at Mr. Robert coldly.

Mr. Robert breathed a sigh of relief, considered his words carefully, and then said carefully, "Martha, don't you think that the two of us are a bit lonely, maybe we can accept some new members..."

When Mrs. Robert heard this, her face was like dark clouds before a storm, "Are you disliking me for being infertile?"

The incident more than ten years ago made Mrs. Robert unable to bear children anymore. No matter how hard Mr. Robert worked, Mrs. Robert was like a dry field that could no longer grow ears of rice.

This once made Mrs. Robert despair, and as time passed, she became Mrs. Robert's backlash.

Mr. Robert's occasional wrong word will arouse Mrs. Robert's anger.

But now, Mr. Robert's words are equivalent to igniting the fire of anger in Mrs. Robert's heart.

Mr. Robert was frightened, and said quickly, "Martha, he's a fool!"

This sentence stunned William, who was bored next to him, and made Mrs. Robert temporarily suppress her anger. "Robert, what do you mean by that?"

"Martha, this guy who doesn't know where he came from is a fool, he is still dumb! He is a gift from God to us!"

"The one in the forest won't let Rapunzel recognize us as our real parents. She will only give us money, and only send us! But, you see, my legs and feet are getting more and more unchanged, and your panting It's getting more and more frequent, even if we don't think about anything else, we still need someone who can help us!"

"As for this guy, I think he's pretty good! He's not from the village, he's a homeless man, he may have been born into a wealthy family, he was either abandoned by his family, or got separated by accident, he has no threat to us, and he has no bad intentions !"

Mr. Robert is quite clear about the undercurrent in the village, and his words from the bottom of his heart silenced Mrs. Robert.

After a long time, Mrs. Robert said in a low voice, "How do you know if he is a fool or a mute?"

"Hehe," Mr. Robert smiled, "Isn't this simple? You see he has been here for so long, have you ever seen him say a word?"

"Martha, let me tell you, even if I took him to the tower and let him see so many miraculous things, he didn't respond at all, and didn't say a word. Isn't this dumb?"

"As for the fool? Hehehe, have you seen that I don't want the silver coins I gave him, and you still want to give me gold coins?"

"Gold coins..." Mrs. Robert exclaimed.
