"Ike, are you going to go fishing on the lake with Vero tonight?" Claude asked Ericson when he arrived at school the next day.

It was already the end of October, but the merchant fleet led by Captain Otruny still had not returned to White Deer Town. Ericson became a little anxious. He said that he often had insomnia and couldn't sleep, so he often asked Verricro to drive a fishing boat to the lake for night fishing, which made him exhausted before he could sleep for a few hours.

"Well, now I can only fall asleep lying on the fishing boat. If I were in bed at home, I would definitely have nightmares about shipwrecks," Erikson replied listlessly.

"It's okay. I think your father will be back in a few days, and then you won't have any nightmares anymore." Claude could only comfort him like this.

"Now that Boa is busy with his family's business, and you have to take care of the forest farm, the days for the four of us to get together are becoming less and less. In about twenty days, we will graduate, and by then everyone will We went our separate ways, and I didn’t know if we would be able to get together again in the future. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, we have grown up."

Erikson muttered sadly.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Everyone will grow up, but I believe we will still have time to get together in the future. Well, I'll see if I have time tonight, and if I can spare it, I'll accompany you. Go fishing at night on the lake. If I haven’t arrived at your dock by eight o’clock, you don’t have to wait for me,” Claude said.

Erikson nodded: "Okay, we'll wait for you until eight o'clock. If you don't come after eight o'clock, it means you won't come, right?"

"Well, the forest farm has been a bit unsettled at night these past two days. Sioli said that the chicken farm in the forest was missing several chickens, and he didn't know what took them away. During the day, he checked the fences of the chicken farm. It's good. It seems that the situation happened at night. So I decided to set some traps around the chicken farm in the evening. If it's still early, I'll go find you. If it's too late, I won't go." Claude explained road.

Erikson didn't answer, just stretched out his thumb and then lay down on the desk. Now, like Claude before, he was catching up on sleep in the morning class.

Viricero on the other side had already slept soundly. He was different from Ericson. Ericson went fishing on the lake at night because he couldn't sleep and had insomnia, but he became energetic when he fished. According to Erickson, Viricero was in the best spirits when he was night fishing on the lake and could bear to stay up all night, but he just started dozing off as soon as he returned to school in the morning.

"Hey, Claude, what's wrong with your forest farm?" Bockaar asked curiously.

Claude shrugged: "It's nothing. Several chickens raised by Xioli have disappeared in the past two days. I suspect that foxes, wolverines or night owls are eyeing this chicken farm in the forest. So this It will take two days to prepare some traps. If the traps don’t work, I will lie in wait for two nights to figure out what’s going on.”

"It's a pity that I don't have much time now, otherwise I would go to your place to help." Bockaar said reluctantly: "My father gave me a lot of work, and I was so busy when I went back after school every day. I have always been I never thought that one day I would look forward to going to school, because only in school do I have leisure time. I really want to play with you."

"Haha" Claude smiled bitterly: "We are about to graduate. After the New Year, we will be considered eighteen years old and have become adults. We will no longer be carefree students. In the future, everyone will have their own things to be busy with. You are just Just take the first step. Your father has given you so many things to do, and he just hopes that you will become talented and be able to take charge of your own affairs as soon as possible. "

Bockaar stopped talking. Everyone knew the truth, but when it was really his turn, he couldn't stand the restraint. In the past, Bockal hoped to graduate early and become a successful businessman. But what he didn't expect was that being a businessman required learning and understanding so much knowledge, as well as the worldly ways his father taught him, which were never mentioned in books.

{} Claude found the black iron dagger and inserted it into his boot to fix it. He took two steps and jumped a few times and felt that it was not in the way, so he decided that this was enough.

After going out to the stable, he pulled out the big black horse Jamie and hitched it to the carriage. He gently waved his whip and drove him out of the forest farm along the mountain.
