"That's called thatch root, which is very sweet."

At that time, I saw a thatch root growing in the courtyard. The thatch root was also called "little sugar cane" in his previous home. When he was a child digging crickets, he would squat on the ridge of the field and start digging the thatch root. The sweet juice It can be said to be full of fragrance.

At that time, he happened to see a thatch root growing in the courtyard, so he secretly dug a few and ate there, but he managed to survive being seen by Sana.

After that, Rowling talked about it all night. What's worse, he suddenly had a terrible stomachache in the middle of the night. He couldn't help but wonder if the thatch roots in this world are poisonous?

Sana said earnestly.

"Master, I can't follow this time. If there is anything, you must tell John and the others."

"Got it, then I'm leaving."

Du Wei waved his hand, and led his dog legs into the teleportation circle.

The light of the teleportation circle flashed, and the group of them arrived at the territory of the Manel family.

This time it was no longer the warm and cordial Mrs. Manel, but the reticent and steady Earl Manel who greeted them this time.

Earl Manel led Emily and a group of family knights looking at them with strange expressions.

"What's wrong? We shouldn't have left anything behind, right?"

Du Wei checked himself while talking.

Finally Emily spoke up.

"That...Master Du Wei, are you going to go hunting in winter dressed like this?"

"Is it weird that we wear this? Every winter hunting, my family wears this when going out."

Du Wei looked at the family knights he brought in a daze, and the five knights also looked at their outfits and felt that there was nothing wrong.

Wear black armor, ride a white horse, and wear black clothes.This is the standard equipment of his Faerwen family, and it is also the impression the world has of the Faerwen family. Otherwise, how can it be called the Black Feather Knight.

Emily said after considering her words.

"Master Du Wei, we are going hunting. If we dress so conspicuously, we may be spotted by the prey in no time."

So it was referring to this matter, Du Wei waved his hand indifferently.

"It doesn't matter, the prey will definitely move after finding us, and our Black Feather Knights are best at chasing and hunting, which also saves us the effort of tracking the prey's tracks."

The rhythm of their family's winter hunting every year is basically to run around in the forest first, and then when they find any movement, they will raise their heads to the sky and roar, and other knights will go to round up when they hear the sound.

Although this hyena-like hunting method has no aesthetic feeling or any technology at all, it is extremely efficient.

And don't think that two-legged humans can't catch up with four-legged beasts. The footsteps of these knights who have been wearing plate armor for a long time after taking off their armor can be said to be very amazing.

Not to mention that there are acceleration skills such as 'Charge' that can be used. Ordinary wild boars and deer basically cannot escape the pursuit of these black feather knights.

Earl Manel twitched his lips speechlessly, and finally said as if giving up.

"Forget it, let's go."

While the opponent was looking at them, Du Wei was also looking at the team of Man Aier's family.

Different from the high-profile flamboyant bags of the Farwin family, the people of the Man Aier family are completely dressed as Orions. If it weren't for the unique family crest of the Man Aier family engraved on the leather armor, they would be riding a horse that was completely identical to the identity of the Orion. A tall army horse that doesn't match, otherwise, who would have known that this taciturn uncle was actually an earl.

In contrast, Du Wei's father, whether it's winter hunting or other activities, always waits until the whole world knows he's here. For him, life is all about showing off, whether it's showing off wealth or power. Hyun'er, Hyun's wife, etc., Hyun is his attitude towards life.

This time Manel's family has the same number of people as his family, with six people riding five horses. Du Wei let John carry it, and Emily let her father carry it. After all, they couldn't ride miniature horses. Participate, but now he is too tall to control a tall military horse.

After leaving the Manel Mansion, Du Wei immediately asked curiously.

"Uncle Manel, are we going to camp in the wild this time?"

Whether it was this life or the previous life, he had never camped in the wild, at most he spent a few nights in a dilapidated farmhouse in the field.

Earl Manel just nodded and stopped talking. It's really difficult to talk. I really don't understand what Mrs. Manel is interested in the Earl. As the best friend of the eldest princess, she should be able to marry with better conditions. people?

Although the earl is already a high-ranking official in the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of the duke, he is actually not much different from the viscount, that is, the territory is only a little bigger, and the political power has not increased much.

If you want to participate in major national policies, you must be at least a marquis to be eligible to attend the palace meeting.

Having said that, I am not looking down on Earl Suster, but I am very curious about Earl Suster.

The earl, who looks silent and stable on the outside, gives people the impression of being rigid and inflexible, but this kind of father has always supported his daughter's knight dream.

Although the term "Miss Qianjin" sounds nice, these aristocratic women are actually just commodities with family logos. For them, marrying someone who is beneficial to the development of the family is a kind of responsibility. Even his mother who is the eldest princess No exception.

If it hadn't been for the fact that Mei Ye fell in love at first sight with the heir of the grand duke at that time, it would be hard to say whether Du Wei would have been born.

Therefore, Emily, who gave up her family responsibilities for her own dream, is an outlier in this aristocratic circle, an outlier that is not accepted by any rich group.

They couldn't understand why Emily would abandon her responsibilities to the family.

They couldn't accept why only Emily could not be responsible for the family.

So Emily was completely ignored, or rather envied, in Missy's circle.

It is impossible for Earl Manel not to understand Emily's situation, but he still chose to support his daughter silently. You must know that he, the son of the grand duke at that time, did not know Emily yet.

Even with his grand duke's son and fiancé as his backer now, Du Wei still has never seen Emily play with the daughters of other families. Although the situation of ignorance has slowed down a lot, it is only a nodding acquaintance.

The only people who have a deep friendship with Emily are probably Karina and Xiao Jin.

While he was thinking about things, Count Manel spoke.

"Here we are, dismount and set up camp."

After regaining his senses, Du Wei looked around, and there were still woods around, but there was such an open space in the woods.

"Hey? The camp is so close? Is it possible to catch prey like this?"

Du Wei took out his pocket watch and counted the time. It has only been more than two hours since he left Manel Mansion.

During the winter hunting, his family went out of the house and ran for a whole morning before starting hunting.

Earl Manel did not respond to Du Wei, because he was doing his best to help build the camp.

Emily, who accompanied him, explained.

"Our Manel Territory is not like the Falvey Territory, where there are many patrols patrolling around, so as long as you leave the Earl's Mansion, you can bump into a lot of wild animals."

"Oh I got it."

In addition to the guard camp with hundreds of people in his family, there is also a Knights' camp not far away, so the surroundings of Falville Mansion are very safe, and the scale of the Manel family's troops is naturally impossible to compare with his family.

"Then shall we go hunting after setting up camp?"

He and Emily sat on the sidelines boredly and watched the adults busy. It wasn't that they didn't want to help, but that they built a larger military tent, and it was just adding to the mess when they two dwarfs got together.

"How about we pick wild fruits?" Du Wei suggested.

Emily grabbed him and shook her head violently.

"No, Master Du Wei will definitely pick up and eat, and it's too dangerous to leave the camp without authorization."

What is picking up and eating indiscriminately? In other people's impression, he is the kind of child who can eat indiscriminately?He wanted to say that he would pick it up first and ask if he could eat it.

But it is indeed better not to leave the camp, so what else can they do?Have!

"Then let's help pick up the dead wood on the ground as firewood."

Picking firewood is always no problem.

Emily nodded after thinking for a while, but then she ran to report to Earl Manel, she is really an honest child.

After obtaining the earl's consent, they picked up dead wood around, but suddenly Du Wei heard some sounds, which were the sound of buzzing insects flapping their wings.

After shaking his head and looking around, he found the source of the humming Weng's sound. There was a large beehive on a tree not far from the camp, and it was obvious that the sound came from there.

Looking at the hive, Du Wei swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

Honey, this is a very expensive food, only aristocrats like them can afford it.

The reason why it is so expensive is that there are almost no beekeepers in this world. It is even more difficult to keep bees in this world than in previous lives. You must know that not only humans like honey, but even animals and even monsters are crazy about the charming honey fragrance. .

And it is impossible to keep beehives in villages, so protecting the safety of beehives has become a big problem.

Only some big businessmen have the capital to try beekeeping, but the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce, which is as large as the Luoka family, has also stumbled in beekeeping. The honey cultivated by spending a lot of money and manpower is far behind in terms of yield and quality. It is far less than the honey picked by hunters in the wild.

After several attempts but no growth, the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce simply admitted the compensation and stopped the loss in time to close the transaction.

.

The reason the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce failed was because their beehives were only fixed in one location.

In fact, the work of a beekeeper is very similar to that of a nomadic farmer who lives by water and grass. The difference is that the beekeeper lives by flowers. Wherever the flowers bloom, the beekeeper has to move the beehives there, or he has to take care of the work himself. flower farmer.

But being a flower farmer is another skill, not to mention that there are many things that need to be paid attention to when combining the two.

Du Wei only knew some theoretical knowledge roughly, but he really didn't know the specific details, so after asking Karina to convey his conjecture to the Chamber of Commerce, the Maple Leaf Flower Chamber of Commerce immediately gave up its heart for beekeeping.

After all, it takes so much effort to get good-quality honey, so it's better to buy it from hunters, loggers and other people who often run in the wild.

"Emily, look at the beehives on the side."

Emily, who was picking up dead wood, heard his call and immediately came over and exclaimed.

"What a big hive!"

A beehive as big as Du Wei's half body hung on top of their heads like this.

Du Wei couldn't help but licked his lips. There is a lot of honey in such a big hive!

In the past, Sana told him that a small bottle of honey was more expensive than a calf. Even if he was the son of a duke, he was only allowed to enjoy a small pot of honey for a week. The amount is really very small.

Now that there is a lot of honey in front of Du Wei, he will not let it go.

Yet Emily clung to his hand the whole time.

"...Master Du Wei, please put down the stone in your hand."

"Don't worry, I'm not throwing the hive, I'm just throwing it next to the hive."

He just threw stones to arouse the movement of bees and to see what kind of bees were inside. As long as he didn't throw stones at the hive, and the distance was far enough, he would rarely be directly attacked by bee swarms.

Of course, there will be occasional times of bad luck and overturning, but he has the magic scroll 'shield technique' given by Rowling to protect him and Emily from being stung by bee swarms.

As for John and the Earl... Anyway, they have thick skins and he thinks they can't be stung.

However, Emily grabbed me and refused to let go, so she finally had to call the earl and the knights over.

"This... is really big."

Even the taciturn Lord Earl was rarely surprised when he saw this large beehive.

His dogleg John frowned and suggested.

"My lord, this beehive is a bit close to our camp, should we move to another place?"

Earl Manel shook his head.

"No, although the hive looks a bit scary, this bee species is a sweet bee with a gentle personality. As long as they don't make trouble, they won't be attacked."

"Uh, but..."

John hesitated to speak and glanced at Du Wei.

"Ahem, Uncle Manel, let's pick it off and eat it."

honeycomb!How long has it been since he had honey from the honeycomb? Now that the honeycomb is in front of him, how could he give up.

"I knew it."

John sighed.

count"......"

Emily pulled him hastily.

"My lord father said just now, don't provoke them."

Du Wei patted Emily's hand to signal her not to worry.

"Don't worry, I have a safe way to deal with it!"

Earl Manel frowned and asked.

"what way?"

"Smoke!"

This method is not uncommon, as long as the bees are smoked, the aggressiveness of the bees will be greatly reduced, and if they smoke for a long time, they will directly abandon the nest and migrate away.

John looked puzzled.
