When Sanchez talked with the Baker brothers who chased out of the door again, his son, Kent, stood beside him with a very disturbed expression.
After much difficulty, when Baker and Green finished chatting, Sanchez helped them back to the hut with concern.
The "door" of the hut was closed again, blocking Baker and Green's eyes full of longing, hope, and pleading. Kent immediately grabbed Sanchez's arm tightly: "Father, these things..."
"Hush!" Sanchez yanked away from his son and covered his mouth with force.
Maintaining this posture, Sanchez dragged Kent all the way, walked out dozens of steps quickly, and walked around a large bush before letting go of his arms.
"Father! These things..."
"Shh! Don't talk yet..." Sanchez raised a hand, stopped his son's words, then turned around, quietly poked his head out of the bushes, and looked in the direction of the grass shed.
For a long time, there was no movement over there, and Sanchez let go, and hurried forward with his son: "Okay, come with me now, you can say anything."
Kent held back his words twice, and finally spit it out: "Father, we can't do these things! Absolutely not!"
"What are you panicking about? I didn't promise them to set fire to the barn." Sanchez shook his head slightly.
"No fire?"
Even on Earth in the 21st century, arson is a serious crime.
In the medieval world where the development of civilization is even more backward, as long as an act like arson is even a little bit suspicious, the steward and the pastor will never be stingy with their stern eyes and more cruel methods to find out what may be concealed. the truth.
There is no doubt that the Brown family is the most likely to be listed as the key suspects.
At the same time, Kent is not optimistic about Baker and Green's ability to keep secrets. Maybe his family has been confessed before the stick falls on these two brothers.
Just thinking about what will happen next, Kent shuddered, and quickly said: "Father, even if you mess with the forage!"
In the same way, cattle are such an important labor force, and if something happens, it will affect the hearts of the entire Aikeli village, and it will definitely attract the eyes of the old men.
This is the case with setting fire, the same with handling fodder, and the same with other methods of making trouble.
The key is not the method, as long as the cattle are involved, no hidden tricks can be foolproof, and they are very likely to be targeted by the masters!
"No, no!" The more Kent thought about it, the more anxious he became, and his voice urged his father eagerly, "Nothing can be done! This... this... this is simply..."
"It's just that I don't want to live a good life. I'm in a hurry..."
Saying that, Sanchez pointed his finger in the direction of the hut behind him: "Hurry up to live with them in this kind of place! Isn't it?"
"That's right! That's right!" Kent nodded quickly: "So you know everything, father!"
"Of course I understand such an obvious truth." Sanchez replied with a wry smile: "Baker and Green, oh..."
"They are crazy!"
"It's not crazy. I just think too much about myself and too little about others... Kent..." Sanchez shook his head heavily: "Actually, before I came here tonight, I thought they might ask me to help... But, I I didn't expect them to ask me to help me like this!"
"Father, let me tell you..." Kent said bitterly, "Actually, we shouldn't have come here at all!"
"Oh!" Sanchez sighed deeply—this night, probably the night that Sanchez sighed the most in the first half of his life—he looked deeply at his son: "Kent, you are still too young. You don't have to do it."
"why?"
Kent really can't figure it out, it's just whether he can come to this shabby hut, this is not the master's order, why would he have to do such a trivial matter even if he doesn't want to
How should I explain this to my son
Sanchez looked deeply at his son.
Being a human is difficult!
As the younger brother of the previous cowherd, Sanchez is naturally in a place of suspicion, as long as it is related to Brown/Rodriguez or Los/Moore, or anyone and anything related to the position of cowherd However, no matter what decision Sanchez makes, it is much more difficult than other villagers.
Hurry up and show courteousness to the old William's family, it is easy to be suspected of having ulterior motives...
Hurry up and draw a clear line with the Brown family, it is easy to be regarded as mean and ruthless—that’s fine—and it may be interpreted as a strong man who cuts his wrists and recklessly suffers...
If you don't say a word, it can be understood as having ulterior motives...
Explain it everywhere, and it will be considered timid again...
If you complain, it will be even more obvious that you are impatient!
"Ugh… "
Listening to his father's detailed explanation of the twists and turns, Kent also gradually understood the feeling of grievance. Following his father's deep sigh, Kent suddenly realized a certain point: "By the way, father... since you said It’s troublesome not to come, why are we here now? Is there no trouble anymore?”
"No, it's not that there is no more trouble..." Sanchez shook his head heavily: "It's to avoid bigger troubles!"
"Why?" The blood on Kent's face lost a little in an instant.
"Hey, it's not Beck and Green!" Sanchez walked forward, pointing in a certain direction of the village: "Did you think that the two brothers only found us? Don't you remember what your Uncle Brown said just now? Except us, Beck He and Green probably found a lot of people! At least, Brown's old neighbor, Wright must have been here too!"
"What?" Kent's eyes widened. "Green didn't tell Uncle Wright about the arson, did he?"
"Who knows?" Sanchez's tone was quite helpless: "However, even if I didn't say it, it wouldn't be much better! In the afternoon, I saw Wright at the Three Trees... I was just about to say hello, but I didn't expect him to come right away. Turn around and leave - this old man must know something, I'm afraid I'll discuss something with him!"
"Ah!" Hearing this, Kent's blood-stained face instantly turned pale!
"What's wrong? Kent!" Sanchez asked quickly.
"Today... today... on... morning..."
On the ground, a fallen branch knocked the stone next to it "Dang Dang Dang..." because Kent, who had stopped for a moment, was shaking violently on the leg that happened to step on it.
This morning, the sun had not risen too high, and Kent had just finished working from one piece of land to another. When passing a certain bridge on the way, Kent saw Mario, another old neighbor of Uncle Brown, Carter's Son - also just when he was about to say hello, Mario actually slid down the slope quickly, scrambling and scrambling, and ran away without a trace along the stream.
Thinking about it now, Mario's performance is obviously worried that others will see him meeting him! ——I couldn't even turn around and run away, so I hurriedly dived into the ditch hidden by the bank of the stream, trying my best to ensure that when something happened in the future, his family would not be drawn into it.
"My God! Carter knows it too! He told his son!"
After listening to Kent's description, Sanchez kicked several stones and branches away in anger, "These two bastards, these bastards! What a mess! What a fool!"
"Green, and Brother Baker, they weren't like this before! How could they do such a stupid thing!"
There are so many people talking about the truth, even Kent understands it very well, and really can't figure out the behavior of these two cousins.
"Oh, it's my fault too... and Wright, Carter, can't escape..."
Sanchez said helplessly: "In the beginning, I helped build the hay shed, and when delivering food a while ago, your uncle and your two cousins would always ask about the cattle in the village, and the newcomer Luo Si The matter of the cowherd... Alas, in order to reassure them, we may have said a little bit more, exaggerated their craftsmanship a little bit, and said that Luo Si's craftsmanship was a little worse, so they will remember it! I can’t forget it! I came up with a way to set fire to tamper with the pasture!”
"What now?"
Turning around anxiously, after taking a few deep breaths, Kent suddenly stood still, and was about to say something, but hesitated again: "Either...or..."
"Say!"
"How about... father, let's go find... the master in charge!"
"What!" As if he didn't recognize him, Sanchez looked at his son in great surprise: "Kent, why do you think so?"
"I... I..." Kent bowed his head in shame.
yes! How can you think so
In any case, Brown was his own uncle, the closest bloodline outside of the family...
In any case, Baker, Green, is his cousin, how many happy times he spent with him when he was a child...
"I'm sorry, Father." Kent's voice was full of confession.
"It's good that you know! Did I tell you for nothing just now?"
Sanchez said bitterly: "Such a thing, can we report it to the steward? Is it suitable for us to report such a thing? What if the steward or the pastor thinks that we are trying to prevent Brown from making a real mistake? What if the old William's family, as well as Ross, think that we are deliberately helping Brown and the others leave a way out?"
"Why are you so stupid!" Speaking of anger, Sanchez slapped his son on the head several times: "Since so many people know about it, do you have to worry about no one reporting it? Do you need to worry about no one willing to curry favor with Ross? "
"You know, this is the current cowherd, the future master!" Sanchez's words were full of deep envy: "Oh, if it wasn't so inconvenient, I would have waited at the door of Ross's house! "
"Then uncle and the others..."
"Hmph! Brown! Brown! If it wasn't for my father's partiality... If I were a cowherd, how could there be so many troubles?" Sanchez became more and more angry: "Huh! If I were a cowherd, a child as smart as Ross , I will definitely take good care of it, I must have been currying favors long ago, how could the craft of cattle treatment fall into the hands of foreigners!"
"Then... Father, what should we do now?"
"Come on, come with me..." Sanchez came to the front again: "Go to the master's barn..."
"Huh? What are you doing there?"
"Do you still need to think about it?" Sanchez's legs were moving fast: "Although there will definitely be someone to report to the lords, but what if someone's brain is broken? If there is someone, really go and let it go." fire, or tamper with the fodder, wouldn’t we be out of luck?”
"Oh..." Kent suddenly realized, and then thought of another place: "Father, there are still beehives! What if someone with a broken brain dare not go to the barn and destroys the beehives? ?”
"Here, the honeycomb is also very important. This is the work Ross helped the pastor..." Sanchez stopped suddenly, "Yes, son, you are right, I brought you here tonight, it finally came in handy .”
"This way..." After thinking for a few seconds, Sanchez made a decision: "I'll go and keep an eye on the barn, and you go and catch the beehive!"
"Okay! I'll go right away..." Kent nodded vigorously, turned around, and prepared to walk towards his own wooden house, which is also the direction where the honeycomb lot is located.
"Be sure to watch carefully!" Holding his son, Sanchez solemnly explained: "Call your two brothers, and your mother, and you take turns to watch, and you must guard the beehive!"
"Ah, does the whole family take turns guarding, how long will this be?"
"Huh? Do you still need to ask?" Sanchez looked at his son strangely: "Of course it's the whole night! Didn't Green say that? Ross will lead the helpers and serfs back to the barn after finishing the beehive... I can then Come back, let’s watch the beehive together... In short, we must take good care of the beehive until no one reports, and we must not give Ross a chance to get angry!"
"Then what if no one goes to report tomorrow?"
"Then stay until tomorrow night tomorrow!" Sanchez's tone was firm.
