Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

Chapter 38: Letters from the Witch

Chapter 38: Letters from the Witch

During dinner, Haven went to visit Delaire's injury.

Gerette prepared the medicine before she left.When he first met this inconspicuous witch, Hai Wen was still worried about her abilities.Because witches always reminded him of those witches and half-immortals who engaged in feudal superstition in his previous life, which was unreliable.But when Gellite told him about the origin of witches, he was in awe of this profession.

Therefore, he also assuredly handed over the wounded to her care.

In terms of medicine, there are not many medicines Gellette can prepare, but each of them has a significant effect—thanks to her rigorous attitude, all medicines are tested on animals first, and then tested on herself. Wen saw it with his own eyes.The wound medicine given to Dreyer this time is derived from the sap of the mother tree. It is said that Gerrit has diluted it by [-]%. It is said that it can quickly stop bleeding and grow muscles, and the medicine is mild and has no side effects.

Dreyer was recuperating in bed now, so supper was indoors.Haven asked the cook to put two dinners on a tray, and pushed the dining cart to deliver them to him.When he went, he saw Delaire lying on the bed and flipping through files.Seeing him coming, the butler sat up straight and said, "My lord, what are you doing? This is a servant's job."

"I just want to have a meal with you, and talk about the latest things by the way." He pulled out the wooden board in the dining car and put the dinner on it.The food for both of them was very light, mushroom soup, pickles, a little dried fish and some soft bread.Dreyer stared at his every movement, muttering something like "this is not good, it is against the rules".Haiwen ignored him, just divided the meal and placed it in front of the two of them.

"If it's okay for us to talk about superiors and subordinates at work, there's no need for it in private." He took a sip of the mushroom soup, "Try it while it's hot. Boiling together can nourish the blood and strengthen the body."

The butler took a sip and smacked his mouth, "It's pretty good."

So the two began to eat. During the meal, Haven and Delaire talked about what happened this afternoon. He talked about everything from meeting the blue-eyed Fassnut to putting the liar in jail, and then asked the housekeeper for his opinion. .

After the butler heard what happened to Fassnut, he said to Haven, "If this kid is really such a monster, I suggest we kill him."

"Can you come up with any other ideas?" Haiwen stared at him, "If you meet someone you can't handle, you have to kill him?"

The butler said earnestly: "That's not what you said, my lord. A child of the thirteenth and fourteenth years, the fucking talk made you stunned for a while; and the martial arts are superb, and he is handsome, so what... There is a blue eye. Let me tell you that this is a monster. There was a "big disaster" in the bay area, and fierce monsters sprang out from the ground. These monsters ate men and fucked women. The calamity is over. However, although the calamity is peaceful, there are still some bastards of mixed blood. I see... ha ha! My lord, you have also suffered a catastrophe!"

Misfortune, Haiwen remembers that word, which means almost the same as hitting a ghost or bewitching an evil spirit.It's just that it's true, sometimes ghost things happen in this world.

"No matter what the monster is, but I don't think they can have offspring with people, I think..."

"The word 'you think' doesn't work, my lord." The butler said while chewing mushrooms, "This is the rule of the Bayland. The problem is serious. We'd better not stick with each other."

Haiwen put down the spoon and said earnestly: "However, Fasnat is indeed a good seed. He has a great foundation and is very sincere to me..."

"Not necessarily!" said the butler, pointing at him with a spoon.

Haiwen nodded and said, "Let's not talk about sincerity, but we are people with a common goal, and I believe I can win him over." He said that the butler sighed, and then continued to drink soup, while Haiwen Wen continued: "Housekeeper, it's impossible for us to do everything by ourselves, not to mention that we don't understand many things at all. I need to attract talents to do things for us."

The butler put down the soup and said, "But this guy...my lord, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep him down."

"We don't need to subdue him, steward, we have a cooperative relationship with him. If I can establish a common philosophy with him, then we have a win-win relationship. A boy is a boy after all, and he has the sincerity of a young man. I believe I As long as I live up to him, he will serve me loyally."

"But you can't trust him too much, you have to test him slowly. Not only the blue-eyed kid, but also other people. For example, the captain of the inspector team, Jon Olissanda."

Hai Wen said: "I don't think there is anything wrong with him, it's just that he has some bad habits."

"Just a bit of a bad habit?" The butler sneered, "That guy is a despicable villain, a fool, and two-sided! You can't trust him, my lord."

Haiwen recalled Jon's performance at the time, and thought that Dreyer's words were not unreasonable. "I'll keep an eye on him, Steward."

The housekeeper nodded slightly and said, "That's right." Then he continued to drink the soup.

Then they talked about entertaining the farmer, and the steward asked Hai Wen about his future plans and what was going on with the farmer's alliance.But Haiwen kept his mouth shut about this matter. He told the housekeeper, "It's not that I don't trust you, but that the fewer people who know about this matter, the better——Housekeeper, you can go to my brother's place to recuperate in two days. It's too humid, it's not good for wound healing."

The butler smiled and said, "My lord, there are indeed many fools in this house, but I, Dreyer, am not among them. You sent your wife to take refuge first, and now you are here to send me—what are you going to do?" ah?"

"Dreyer, I am your master, you have to listen to me."

"Damn it, use a set to overwhelm me?" Dreyer cursed, and dropped the spoon into the ceramic bowl, and there was a clear sound.He stared at Hai Wen, and smiled with his mouth crooked: "I can tell you, if you die, I will take away all the gold and silver treasures in your house, and you will not keep any of them."

"Who cares about the flood after I die? Now, just be obedient."

After that, the two stopped talking and started to eat in silence.During the meal, Haiwen thought to himself: Not only the butler, I have to think about the future of Fandry and other servants.

So after dinner, he prepared a severance package, and at the same time, he also prepared a sum of money and a guide for Van Drye; he ordered someone to bury him under a willow tree on the outskirts of the city, and made a mark.If Haven really made a fool of himself in the future and the baron came to settle the score, then Vandry would probably be unlucky.The fat man has done a good job these days, he can't treat his servants badly.

He planned to tell him when Van Derry came back.

After doing this, he went back to his room to organize his notes.Since Geliete abducted his "three wives", the house has become much deserted.He was used to his lover's soft words and affection, to Violet's thoughtful care, to Hyacinth's crisp voice and the lively atmosphere when she existed.He flipped through his notes, then fell on the bed.The fragrance of his lover still lingered on the double bed, and her black hair was on the pillow. Lying on it, he felt physically and mentally exhausted.

She's only gone for a day.

At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of a hard object knocking on the window and a very strange "coo" sound. When he looked up, he saw a "pigeon" covered in darkness calling towards him outside the window.

He put the black dove in and took the letter from his lap, hurt the dove with his haste, and was scratched badly.But he didn't care about the pain, he just wanted to read the letter quickly.

The letter read:

"One: My lord, I have sent your three wives to a safe place, and now we are in the wetlands to the south.

Two: We have started investigating the crops and will reply to you in a few days.

Three: A gangster wanted to harass your eldest wife, so I beat you up.

Four: The bread in this place is damp, it tastes like soaked dough.

Five: I want to eat roast chicken.

Six: Raised a super cute dog named Uffin (circular cute smiley face symbol).

Seven: Hyacinth asked me to ask you if you miss her. When she said this, your eldest wife's expression was very subtle.

Eight: I really want to eat grilled chicken. I want it to be sweet, with a little burnt skin.

Nine: I wanted to teach Hyacinth and Violet a little witch knowledge, but it turned out that Hyacinth taught me how to sing. I don't know why. (I really don't know, I'm not kidding.)? ? ? ? ?

Ten: My status seems to be getting lower and lower among the four people. They have girly topics to talk about, but I often can't get in the conversation, and the forest witch is at a loss (the frightened crying face symbol).

Please write back immediately after reading it, your wife misses you so much—I mean shed tears, nothing else.

Me, witch, sweet charred roast chicken.

goodbye. "

Haiwen put the letter away with a delicate expression, and then began to write her a reply:

"My dear witch, everything is fine here, tell them not to worry.

The matter of inspecting crops is important, but your safety is more important.

Remember to teach them cultural lessons for me, don't miss homework.

Thank you for protecting my family and I ask you to protect yourself my friend.

I miss each of you and look forward to seeing you again soon.

When you come back, I will prepare roast chicken with sweet and charred skin, and a meal like never before.

goodbye. "

After he finished writing, he tied the letter to the black pigeon's leg, and held it out of the window.However, the bird didn't go away, but instead pecked at him and flapped its wings at him.Haiwen thought for a while and said, "You wait." Then he went to the kitchen to fetch some corn and fed it to the guy. After the "pigeon" ate a few mouthfuls, he flapped his wings and left.

It's true that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.Unscrupulous witches keep unscrupulous birds, he thought.

Extra Story: About Isrit

Extra Story: About Isrit

Name: Isrit

Age: 16

①The name Estherite means turning from a cocoon into a butterfly, and it was given to her by her mother.

②Isrit's mother was originally the daughter of a bachelor's family. When she was traveling with her father, she met a robber and her parents were killed. Only she survived by hiding in the bushes.Later, a farmer rescued him, and then committed himself to marrying him.When Isrit was five years old, her mother died of illness. The cause of death was long-term malnutrition.

③Isrit has no surname.The nobles of the four principalities only have surnames, and if commoners want to register a surname, they need to pay a "registration fee", so many poor people do not have a surname.

④Isrit met Gerrit when she was nine years old.At that time, Zhe Lite was troubled by the training of "pigeons", and Estherite unintentionally showed her ability to communicate with animals. Zhe Lite was shocked by the heavens, and at first she even wanted to worship Yisrette as her teacher .Later, the two formed a subtle "relationship between Xia Ke Shang master and apprentice".By the way, Gerrit did not learn the correct way to train the pigeons in the end.Goo.

⑤Isrit's father planted an apple orchard in the farmer's house.Just like ordinary sharecroppers, life is very poor.For this reason, Yisruite had to work in a rich family to make money to subsidize the family.

⑥ When she was working as a maid in the Charles family, she was spotted by Master Charles, and the old rich businessman bought her from her father for ten gold coins.But Estelle didn't know about this at first, her father just told her "a happy marriage is prepared for you, and the other party is a very good person".So until she knew the truth, Estherite thought that her father had told her about a serious marriage, and she felt uneasy and had a little expectation.

⑦The poison she used to poison Lord Charles was prepared by herself, but before that, Gerrit did not teach her how to make poison.

⑧There was a short time in the second period, and I was crazy about the stories of knights and rangers, and I was familiar with stories such as "Four Rangers", "Dragon Seekers", and "The Redemption of the Templars".But after meeting the real "Smiling Ranger", the dream was shattered, and the previous Ranger novels were quietly set on fire.

⑨Isrit’s moral outlook was formed partly from her mother’s traditional education, and partly from Gerrit’s precepts and deeds, so this led to her thinking not only the gentleness and obedience of traditional women, but also the freedom and uninhibitedness of witches.

⑩I really want to give Haiwen a boy.Not because of patriarchy, but because she feels that girls are born to suffer.

?Although he is thin and thin, his food intake is much larger than others imagined.I am ashamed of this, so most of the time I choose to eat six or seven full.

?Often worry about the future marriage of Lord Gerrita.Worried that she'd get overwhelmed and end up alone like some witches or marry a cow.

?Not yet a qualified forest witch, because she does not yet have the "ability to endure loneliness", "the ability to entertain herself" and "the ability to tell nasty jokes".

Things about the character "Isrit" outside of this book:

1: The original Estherite was a bento character. In fact, in the first version of the plot, Haven cut her in half with his own hands.But then I felt that writing like this was against readers, and I felt very sorry for this little girl, so I changed her into a heroine w

2: In the beginning, Estherite was positioned as a maid, and she would not become Haven's wife so early.But halfway through the writing, I suddenly felt "this girl is so cute", and then changed the plot.

Ps: In dealing with love scenes, my patience is probably not as good as readers.Oops, it's so troublesome to write romance, wouldn't it be over just to WTMSB?

3: The character prototype of Yisruite comes from Fluttershy of My Little Pony, which is the one below↓

I know you may be confused by this, but it's true, the heroine of this book is actually a magically altered pony.

3.5: Remember that friendship is magic.

4: Originally, I wanted to spend a lot of pen and ink writing about this character's bed scene, but the law does not allow it.

5: I almost forgot to say that the name Yisruite is almost pronounced backwards by Fluttershy.In addition, there are several ponies hidden in the book, waiting for you to discover.

Preview of the next episode: Yemadi's agricultural products are exquisite, so stay tuned.

Chapter 39: The Messenger Doesn't Return

Chapter 39: The Messenger Doesn't Return

The day after tomorrow is the day to entertain the farmer.

Haiwen got up early in the morning as usual, then went to the ditch to wash up, and then went to morning exercises after work.He had told Smiley Cat before that he would go out with the police team, so he went to the Yizhengtang Square after washing up.

When he went, Smiley Cat was directing the team to assemble. The police team was a little loose, but when they saw him coming, they immediately stood up straight.Seeing him coming, the smiling cat said, "My lord, are you here to inspect the team?"

"Well, I want to see how you train soldiers, and I want to train with you."

The smiling face cat said: "I thought you were joking—OK, sir, then you have to run around with the brothers."

"Then let's go." Haiwen said and stood at the front of the line. The police member closest to him was startled, and backed away involuntarily, away from Haiwen.When the smiling cat saw it, he scolded him and said, "Did I make you move?" The man hurried back to his place.Then the smiling cat blew its whistle, and as the whistle sounded, the team began to jog around the field.

Smiley Cat's training is not particularly strong, and Haiwen can keep up.After running for a long time, he broke out in sweat, which reminded him of the days of military training on campus.

But his appearance attracted people's attention.The surrounding residents, members of the guard and even the instructor Smiley Cat are all staring at him,

He couldn't help but feel ashamed.But after thinking about it, there is nothing to be ashamed of, isn't the mayor going out with the police?They just haven't seen it.After we practice for a few more days, everyone will get used to it.

After the run, Smiley Cat asked the people to take a break. As soon as they said to take a break, the team immediately fell to the ground in a mess.Haiwen didn't sit down immediately, but walked slowly on the spot.The smiling cat handed him a towel and asked him, "My lord, why do you have to suffer this?"

Haiwen wiped his sweat with a towel and said, "In order to get along with my team. I don't have the conditions to eat and live with them, but it's okay to train together. Seeing that the mayor of the town comes to exercise every day, I'm afraid these people are not Dare to be lazy." He threw the towel back to the smiling cat.

The smiling cat put the towel on the shelf of the well next to it, and said, "Although that's the case, nobles are mostly lazy, not to mention morning exercises, even waking up early is very difficult."

"I'm not noble."

"What if you become one in the future?" The smile on his face made Haiwen unpredictable.

"Then I'm a hard-working nobleman too—what's the next training?" He changed the subject.

"Basic chopping training."

"Oh, I want to give you some practice."

"You said."

So Haiwen called the police officers to stand up, and then said: "Today, I will add new training exercises, and I will temporarily act as an exercise instructor. These exercises can help you strengthen your body and strengthen specific muscles."

Then he demonstrated a series of basic fitness movements such as push-ups, crunches, squats, and stretching ligaments.Afterwards he talked to Smiley Cat about the equipment. "I'm going to build a horizontal bar and parallel bars here to give them strength training." He gestured at the horizontal bar, "then there will be three-kilometer training, five-kilometer cross-country and other events, and we will take our time in the future."
