Succubus' Manor

In an era when entertainment was scarce and people were generally illiterate, rumors and rumors became very common. People sat together and chatted, and the same words had different meanings to different people's ears. After several times of processing, even the person who said this did not know that he said it.

When Chi Yan learned that he suddenly had a "mother", he couldn't laugh or cry.

His seniority was instantly the same as that of the Holy Spirit.

"Say you are the youngest son of Tianmu." Kadi stood aside, he only dared to look at Chi Yan from the corner of his eye, and at the same time he also thought that this statement was not groundless, the adult might really be the youngest son of Tianmu.

Chi Yan didn't expect that the people around him would believe it too. After all, they get along day and night. Every time he goes to the toilet, these servants know how many pieces of paper he brings, but they all believe it.

I really don't know if it's the rumors' brainwashing ability is too strong, or he really doesn't look like a human being?

Seeing Kadi's appearance, Chi Yan couldn't help but ask, "You believe it too?"

Cardi nodded bluntly: "My lord, you know so many things that others don't, you are generous and kind. Without you, we might have died a long time ago, and we wouldn't be able to live today."

Cardi sincerely thinks this way, if the adult is not the son of God, why can the adult budget everything?The head of the Lianshengyuan, who claims to be able to hear the oracle, has never been able to tell when there will be a drought, when there will be an earthquake, and when there will be locusts.

But Cady doesn't think the Holy Spirit doesn't exist—he just thinks the Holy Spirit might not be a favored child of the Heavenly Mother.

After all, there is only one mother, there are so many children, and ten fingers are all different lengths. It is normal for the Heavenly Mother to like another child. In the past, the Heavenly Mother liked the Holy Spirit, but now the Heavenly Mother prefers her own young son, which makes sense.

After Kadi left, Chi Yan glared at Kleist: "Why are you laughing?"

As a result, he didn't hold back after staring, and laughed himself.

In fact, it's not that people are ignorant. People are just used to deifying "someone". They sincerely hope that Chi Yan is the son of God. Only in this way can all disasters and bad luck be far away from them. I desperately hope that the divine power can be reversed.

In addition, Chi Yan is the supreme leader here, and he has indeed made many correct decisions at the same time. It is actually expected and very common for people to "deified" him.

Just like the myths about emperors in ancient China, the uprising of the white snake, or the vision from the sky at birth, although the rumors were probably spread by themselves at the beginning, without the help of the people, these stories are very uncreative The story of the story is not spread for so long, so wide.

Because for the people, believing that a person in power is a true god descended into the world makes them feel more secure than believing that a person in power is an ordinary person.

Since the person in power is a real god and a real dragon, he has no selfishness, no selfish desires, and will think of every ordinary person, so that the people can live a stable life without worrying about natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Deification of those in power is people's hope for future life.

Chi Yan: "It's not a big deal, don't worry about it."

Isn't it just one more mother?Mom is still the goddess who is in charge of everything in the world, so he has nothing to lose.

"Just wait until their excitement passes." Chi Yan ate a wild fruit with Kleist's hand.

This is the fruit of a local shrub. It is very small, but it is very sweet. It is not sour like wild grapes, which makes your teeth hurt. This fruit is a bright warm orange. It is very soft when ripe. Handle lightly, a little more strength will crush it.

The boiled syrup will turn into hard candy as soon as it freezes in the ice cellar. Although it is easy to melt and a little sticky, Chi Yan likes it very much.

He can taste a bit of modern hard candy from this rough hard candy, which is a kind of nostalgia for his hometown.

Although he clearly knew that he would never go back.

The fruit should be eaten with the skin after washing. The skin is very thin and there is a lot of juice inside. Chi Yan subconsciously sucked Kleist's finger when eating the fruit with Kleist's hand.

Chi Yan: "..."

He looked up, looked into Kleist's eyes, and gave Kleist an innocent smile.

Kleist's eyes were deep, and Chi Yan felt bad, and quickly said, "It hasn't rained for more than two months."

He changed the subject too bluntly, Kleist just nodded and didn't answer.

Chi Yan added: "Some people have been walking around the city during this time."

This is a good thing. A lot of newcomers have come to his territory recently. They are all fleeing here. During this period, civilians would not easily leave their hometowns, but those who had no way out would come out to try their luck.

Chi Yan didn't let these people be driven away, but stayed behind.

Anyway, there is a lot of work to be done. The streets in the city need to be compacted, and the small roads outside are the same. To open up wasteland and carry water, everything needs manpower. As for whether there are sneaky people inside, Chi Yan doesn't care, after all, sneaky and slippery It means that there is no income, and if there is no income, you have to go hungry.

Kleist looked at Chi Yan.

Chi Yan said with a serious face: "It's daytime now!"

Kleist looked away regretfully.

Chi Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that he doesn't want it, it's mainly because Kleist is very demanding of fairness - every time he comes out, Chi Yan has to come out as well. Chi Yan feels that his bottle is almost empty. Kidney deficiency.

Is it reasonable to invigorate the kidney before the age of 20?

And Chi Yan still had the idea that he might grow longer.

Obviously Kleist said before that the succubus was as tall as an adult, and he would be that tall all his life, but when Kleist went back, he grew a little taller, which shows that it is not certain whether he will grow tall or not.

The sun was so hot that people didn't want to go out, but Blaise didn't dare to rest. He came here as a refugee, and his family couldn't survive in their hometown, so they had to run out to try their luck, but finally survived and came here It was just him and his eldest sister, who now lived in a small house on the outskirts of the city without paying rent for the first year.

Although they didn't have to pay rent for the first year, they needed money everywhere for food and living. Blaise was young and a man, and he went to open up wasteland every day. According to the size of the land opened up every day, he could get the same amount of food.

He worked from morning to night, until he couldn't see anything clearly and didn't want to leave. After all, the more land he opened, the more food he could get.

People who have been hungry and have seen people being starved to death have a deeper obsession with food.

Even the person in charge persuaded him: "You don't have to do this, it won't be worthwhile if you collapse from exhaustion."

Blaise smiled at the manager. He felt that the manager was a good person. He used to work for the farmer. Even if he worked from morning to night, the master would only dislike him for doing too little.

The manager couldn't persuade him, so he let him go.

Blaise's sister also found a job, because the orphanage had a new batch of children and there was not enough manpower. She looked honest, quick in hands and feet, and was a rare big man, so she managed to get this job.

What I have to do every day is to take care of the children. It sounds easy, but it is not easy to work. The children cry, make noise, and play. There are a lot of things to wash every day, and when they have free time, they also make toys for the children.

These toys are also blueprints drawn by Chi Yan on a whim, for the dwarves to play with when they are bored. They are all cheap things, wooden building blocks, wooden jigsaw puzzles and other educational toys.

Now the sanding technology is not very good, otherwise the children can still play with marbles made of wood.

There are also swings and a seesaw in the orphanage's yard.

This is already a very good children's entertainment facility, and even the staff will play after the children have a rest.

After Blaise finished his work, he went to the manager to collect the food he had earned today.

The food he received was the unique dry biscuit here. It was very thick and looked dry, but after breaking it, the meat inside was white and not dry. , he and his sister also exchanged some of the cakes they had saved for pickles, and it was very delicious to eat with the cakes.

Blaise received five pieces of cake today, and the sack that contained the cake was Blaize's own. After taking the cake, he went home directly.

This house is small, and it doesn't look like much from the outside, but it doesn't leak air or rain, and it doesn't require rent. For the former Blaise, such a residence was unthinkable.

"Sister!" Blaise knocked on the door.

His sister Kath opened the door. Kath was taller than Blaise, and she took the sackcloth bag from Blaze: "Come in, I've boiled the water."

They tore up the dry biscuits, soaked them in hot water, and soaked some pickled vegetables, so that there were soups and meals.

After drinking the last sip of soup, the stomachs of the two siblings were full.

Kath also imitated the women here, wearing reformed sackcloth, showing her arms and waist.

At the beginning, she was not used to it. After all, no one who could afford to wear clothes would show her body anymore. That was the behavior of barbarians.

But after a long time, her awkwardness has long since disappeared.

Everyone is like this, so it doesn't feel barbaric.

When Blaise was working, he only wore a pair of shorts, and when he was not working, he would put on a cardigan. During this period of time, he recovered a little, and he was no longer the scrawny appearance when he first came here. When the wind blows, he is still You can clearly see his strong chest and abdominal muscles.

Sometimes he would go to the orphanage to wait for Kath to get off work and come back with Kath. As a result, Kath has been slapped around by his female colleagues these days, and the purpose is very clear-they want to sleep with her brother.

Blaise soon had a lover, but they didn't think about marriage, because the lover only wanted his body.

Not wanting to be responsible to him, Blaise thinks it's fine not to get married, because getting married requires paying taxes.

The siblings finished their meal, wiped the dishes and went to bed.

I was so tired during the day that I could fall asleep on the bed, but this night Kath suddenly said, "It's really nice here."

Blaise closed his eyes and said, "Yeah, if Mom and Dad could..."

Their parents died on the way here. The siblings had no choice but to dig a hole by the side of the road and bury their parents. Even if they wanted to find a place to bury their parents in the future, the possibility of finding them was very slim.

When it came to parents, the siblings stopped talking.

After a while, Cass said again: "They say that the lord is the child of the Heavenly Mother."

Blaise also heard about Tianmu from the people who worked with him. He never knew there was such a goddess, but those people told him that since they sacrificed to Tianmu last year, the well water has not dropped. Their food can fill their stomachs, even in the coldest winter, they did not freeze to death.

For Blaize, the conversion to the Celestial Mother came naturally.

After all, he used to believe in the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit did not fill their stomachs, nor did they keep their family alive.

For these ordinary believers, faith is not worth a meal.

Blaise: "That adult must be Tianmother's favorite child!"

He has never met adults, but he has heard people say that he has very beautiful eyes and long black hair, that he is gentle and generous, and most importantly—that he is very young, but even if he is still very young , he has already shouldered a heavy responsibility.

Although no one feels that adults are responsible for them.

Blaise said to Kath: "Here, we must live well."

"We earn a little more this year, and we will have to pay the rent of the house next year!" Blaise has already planned to earn more dry biscuits, and then exchange the dry biscuits for copper coins. These copper coins will be used to pay next year's rent, if If there is any leftover, next year he can rent a few pieces of land and cultivate it by himself.

Farming here is very safe, and the adults charge very little rent!And if you plant next year, you don't have to pay tax for two years.

If he has to pay taxes after two years, he will not farm the land.

After all, their family was already crushed by heavy taxes.

But when they can farm, they are still more willing to farm, and they can feel at ease by guarding the fields.

Although it hasn’t rained, life in the city is still going on. When the summer just started, I found the best place for grass and leaves to dig wells. I drilled more than a dozen wells, and only three of them produced water, but it was better than none. , The water that people enter is drawn in the well, and the water for domestic use and watering is the water in the storage tank.

The life in the city is considered affluent, and the minds of the merchants are active—most of them hit a wall in winter, they went out excitedly, and came back disheartened. Now the road is not difficult, and the goods that can be traded It is also ready-made, hard candy is definitely easy to sell, as long as they can find a way, they will definitely not fail again this time.

They still want to get back the face they lost in front of Chi Yan.

Businessmen also value face very much. More importantly, they worry that they are not as good as ordinary people in farming, not as good as slaves in work, not as good as servants in weaving and sewing, and not as good as ten-year-old dolls in cleaning. If they can't prove their worth, they After that, they may live worse than the poor.

"You want to use hard candy to do business?" Chi Yan didn't expect the merchants to recover so quickly. After all, they were hit hard before, and he thought they would be devastated.

The merchants came together, and the leader was Arnold. Arnold stood at the bottom of the steps, lowered his head in a proper manner, and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, since Ashburn can take away the sugar, We can also sell sugar."

"I can also get what you want."

Chi Yan leaned on the seat, and he nodded: "If you have any ideas, just say it."

Arnold and the others have already discussed in private: "Ashborn and the others have a lot of people, we can also learn from them, and we will not separate when we go out this time. We can also form a caravan. I hope to borrow some people from you, my lord." .”

They are not stupid, and they know that the group of extremely ugly people in the territory looks strange, but every time Chi Yan has something important to do or wants to go out, he will definitely bring those people with him, the reason is obvious without thinking carefully, This group of people must be very good at fighting.

Even the lord is assured of entrusting his safety to these people, so of course they dare.

Arnold: "It was because we acted separately before..."

Chi Yan: "Man, you can invite them yourself, as long as they are willing to go with you, you can negotiate the reward in private."

Arnold looked at Chi Yan excitedly, his eyes full of emotion.

Chi Yan: "..."

Did he say anything that moved you to tears?

Not only Arnold, but other businessmen standing behind Arnold almost have this expression.

Does Chi Yan think that his brain circuit is different from theirs?

But Arnold also said that this time they couldn't exchange much for hard candy with Chi Yan, so the first time they went out to sell candy, it was just a consignment, that is to say, they sold the hard candy, and Chi Yan would give it to them again reward.

Chi Yan understood what they meant, they wanted to earn money by running errands for Chi Yan.

"Yes." Chi Yan readily agreed, "When are you going to leave?"

The merchants were overjoyed: "The sooner the better!"

Finally decided to leave in three days.

After the merchants left, Chi Yan asked the housekeeper, "Which thing I just said moved them?"

Chi Yan waited until now to ask, and his endurance was already amazing.

The housekeeper tidied Chi Yan's collar: "If you send the demons to protect them, then you will set the price, and they can keep the reward down by contacting the demons in private."

That is to say, when talking with Chi Yan, they dare not lower the salary too low, but when talking with the demons, they have a lot of leeway to negotiate the salary.

It is of course better to keep the cost lower.

Chi Yan became worried: "Will this be bad? What if they really trap the demons?"

Chi Yan is not worried about the demons, but worried about the merchants. Once the demons find that they have been squeezed too badly, the sky will be high and the emperor will be far away. Can't quench thirst.

The butler said with a serious face, "Your Excellency, don't worry."

Chi Yan frowned slightly: "If they have a conflict outside..."

With so many businessmen, even if they are useless for a while, it does not mean that they will be useless in the future, and the businessmen don't eat Chi Yan's, and they will take money out of their pockets to buy food, which can be regarded as an important role in stimulating domestic demand. If he died, Chi Yan would feel very distressed.

There are few people in the city now, and everyone is a precious asset to Chi Yan.

The butler dusted Chi Yan's clothes, and dusted off the fly ash that didn't exist on it: "As long as you tell Kleist that the demons can't attack the merchants when you go out this time, it's fine to send them back intact." gone."

Chi Yan: "Then what if the businessman made the demons miserable?"

The housekeeper said indifferently: "How can they grow up if they don't suffer? You are not their father. Do they want to be children under your wings for the rest of their lives?"

"My lord, there are no children like them in this world, they are all so old."

Chi Yan: "..."

Makes sense.

Suffering a loss is a blessing, because people have hit a wall and suffered a loss before, and they will not be fooled by the same one again--the exception is too stupid.

If you haven't hit a wall by yourself, no matter how many times you say something else, you can't remember it.

It is true that the demons have not been able to fully integrate into human society.

Being cheated once... can it be regarded as letting the merchants teach them a lesson for free?

Chi Yan told Kleist this plan at night: "What do you think? It's fine if you don't agree. I'll ask Kadi to come forward and negotiate the remuneration with the merchants."

Kleist: "No, let them go by themselves."

Chi Yan: "Aren't you worried that they will be bullied by businessmen?"

Kleist was noncommittal: "Don't they need someone to teach them everything?"

Chi Yan nodded: "Yes, then let them go by themselves this time. If they suffer, you can't intervene."

Kleist: "No."

Chi Yan: "But the demons are sometimes quite honest."

They are not honest, they are stubborn, and they can't understand the winding words at all. What they are asked to do must be broken down and explained clearly, without any side details, so that they can do things well.

Otherwise, it is easy to give up the basics and chase the trivial, and go into the dead end.

Chi Yan coughed lightly: "I made someone burn the bath water, you go and take a bath."

Kleist looked at Chi Yan strangely - he just took a shower in the morning, and it's not time to go to bed yet, why take a shower?

However, Chi Yan insisted: "Go quickly, or you won't be able to go to bed tonight!"

These words were not very deterrent, but Kleist still went with an expression of "I can't do anything with you".

After Kleist left, Chi Yan called Kadi like a thief. Kadi came behind and led a group of people. Some of them were holding baskets filled with brightly colored petals, and some were holding baskets. Quilts and blankets.

The bright red still hasn't been dyed, and the pink is the limit. Chi Yan himself can't wait, so he thinks it's just a matter of time, and it's okay to make it up again when he has the technology.

The servants quickly changed the sheets and blankets, and spread the petals on the bed. Following Chi Yan's instructions, they assembled the petals into a heart shape.

Chi Yan also asked people to rearrange the candlesticks.

Let Anna cook the steak tonight.

In Chi Yan's vision, he and Kleist would have a candlelight dinner tonight—even though they ate like this every night.

Then he led Kleist back to the room.

And then--

He can eat Kleist clean!

The author has something to say: Kleist: "Do you still eat?"

Chi Yan (with teary eyes): "I won't eat, hiccup, I can't eat anymore, hiccup, I'm full."
