Time sometimes passes very slowly, but sometimes it feels like it passes very quickly. People often suddenly discover inadvertently, hey, why have so many days passed and I haven’t done any of the things I planned
The same is true for Claude. The past two months since his foot injury has made him feel like he has been living for a long time. Anyone who has a plaster cast on his left foot that cannot land on the ground will feel the same way. Needless to say, there are no more inconveniences in life. Claude really can't stand the stinky feeling on his body when he can't take a bath. What's more, it's summer and he often sweats. He can only spend a long time every day using a large Dip a linen towel in water and slowly wipe your body clean.
I went to the pharmacy four more times, first once every three days, and then once every other week. Every time I went there, I was inevitably caught by the old pharmacist and had his blood taken. It wasn't until the last time that the pain of bloodletting was spared. The old man said that the congestion was gone, and he would be able to be alive and kicking in another month. It's just that the joint bones of the left ankle have just recovered and still need careful maintenance. If you can, don't land on the ground. If you can sit or lie down, don't get up and move around.
So while Claude was recuperating, he stayed in his attic reading and writing. Even though September 10th was the Harvest Festival in honor of the Mother Earth, he just stayed in the attic and watched the parade of people dragging floats through the street in front of the house instead of rushing to join in the fun.
During this period of time, not only was Claude staying at home to recuperate from his injuries, but his three partners also underwent great changes. Verricro has changed the most, only becoming more silent, but he is still a fishing fanatic. During his rest time, he will go to the lakeside alone with a fishing rod and barrel to find fishing places, instead of like before. Invite your friends to go fishing together.
Erikson was busy repairing his fishing boat. He didn't ask his partners to help this time, he was busy all by himself. I bought shipboards of the same size and thickness from the shipyard, dried them on the dock, and removed the damaged sideboards of the fishing boats, and then under the guidance of Uncle Pegg, I silently repaired them alone. . It took more than a month for the fishing boat to be launched again, but this time Erikson no longer asked his friends where to go for a visit. He drove the fishing boat on Lake Beringa for more than an hour and then called it a day. .
Bokoal, who was the most out-of-the-box by nature, changed the most. Perhaps it was the stimulation brought to him by the Niros crocodile auction that made him deeply ashamed. For this reason, he divided the four gold crowns that Sir Fox gave him to buy the crocodile and divided them equally, one for each person. Then he alone borne the cost of Erikson's purchase of ship planks and other repairs, which cost more than three silver thalers. There are also nearly two silver talers’ pharmacy treatment expenses for Claude.
In fact, Bok'ar spent all the gold crown he received on these things. Even if everyone said that the four people should share it together, he would not agree. Because doing this would make him feel better, Bockal said. It was the mistake he made that caused his partners to lose more profits. He could only spend his share of the profits to make up for some of the guilt in his heart, otherwise he would have no face to talk to him again. Partners are together.
The partners originally wanted to share the profit of more than one silver thaler from the sale of game and catch to Bokoal as compensation, but Bokoaar was determined to include the money in the public funds of the four partners. From this point of view, although Bokoal performed extremely badly when facing the Niros giant crocodile, he still distinguishes between public and private matters when it comes to money, and as a financial person he is still highly trusted by his partners.
What surprised Claude was that after he injured his foot and stayed at home, his three friends seemed to have lost interest in going out for a walk. Except for going to and from school every day, the three of them don't usually get together to play. In the past, Bockaar and Eriksson used to think about where they would go to play every Sunday, but now they go back to their homes and are busy with their own things. Even though the Harvest Festival of the Earth Mother is a legal holiday in the kingdom and they have three consecutive days off, Bockar and Ericson didn't bother the three of them to go somewhere to play. They just followed the parade in White Deer Town for a long time.
Verricro answered Claude's question privately. He believed that Bockaar and Ericsson should have been frightened by the Niros crocodile incident and understood how much they weighed. In the past, when I was young, I didn't know how high the sky was, but when I faced a real life-and-death crisis, I realized that I was nothing. If it hadn't been for Claude's last shot, the two of them would have been unable to avoid being killed.
