After listening to his father's description, the first reaction in Wu Qingchen's mind blurted out: "In this case, let's go to the cowherd."
How could it not be found
Sensing the cow's injury, Old William immediately found Idra and Grace quickly, and the three of them split up and asked around.
After learning from the villagers that all the signs pointed to the cowherd, without the slightest hesitation, the father and son ran towards the cowherd's house anxiously.
Along the way, the three people, who were in a hurry and restless, saw from both sides of the village road that the land of the cowherd's family had basically been plowed. Moreover, as soon as he walked to the door of the cowherd's house, Idra saw a large bundle of straw ropes from the corner of the wooden house. The top two bundles of these straw ropes also had a lot of blood that hadn't completely dried up.
There is simply no need to ask!
The three of them rushed into the wooden house immediately. However, facing the angry questioning of old William, the cowherd who seemed to have been prepared for a long time was very calm, and did not admit that the cow's injury had anything to do with him.
As for the bloody rope that Idra pointed out, and his miraculous half-day plowing of all the land, the cowherd said that this had nothing to do with Old William, and he was not even interested in making up explanations.
"and then?"
Then... Old William and the three returned home.
"This… "
Such a serious injury, such obvious evidence, in exchange for such a result, is too amazing...
Wu Qingchen frowned deeply, "This... this is too... It's over if you don't admit it? Is there nothing you can do if you don't reason?"
Method
After listening to Wu Qingchen's words, Idra's face flushed red.
When I was still at the Cowherd’s house, after a half-hour quarrel, the Cowherd excused the dinner and pushed the three of William and his son towards the door. Idra’s blood welled up, and he rushed up in an instant, ready to use his tightly clenched fists , the grass rope picked up by the side, and the cowherd had a "reasoning" that went deep into the soul.
However, like the previous impulses, Idra's move was once again stopped by Old William.
This is helpless, but also reality.
Knowing from the villagers and the handlebars that the cow was injured, Old William actually understood that there was probably nothing he could do about it.
Unbearably angry for a while, Old William still led his sons to find the cowherd, and the final result was exactly what Old William had expected.
Seeing the anger of the old William and the others, he directly denied that the cow's injury had anything to do with him, and he didn't even bother to fabricate an explanation for the evidence that Idra found. All this was because the cowherd had nothing to fear.
The cowherd does have the qualification to be confident.
In the village of Akeli, the most powerful person is of course the owner of the entire village, the owner of everything that can be seen with the naked eye, Baron John/Ackford, the Lord Lord.
However, this lofty lord has no direct connection with the villagers' daily lives. Most of the time, he also lives in his equally lofty and strong castle, using thick stones and vigilant guards to block everything. Looking up, adoring, curious, peeping, coveting, etc... no matter benevolent or malicious eyes.
Of course, the lord is hard to see. If the villagers of Akeli are lucky and have good eyesight, they can occasionally see the agricultural officer and the forest officer, who lead several servants, patrolling back and forth, and are directly appointed by the baron.
As for the masters that the villagers can really get in touch with in normal days, there are only two giants in the village of Akeli, Ifrit/Staff Fair who is in charge of the village affairs, and the religious leader of the village, John/Praia / Reverend Ackford.
These two, one was recommended by the castle steward and approved by the lord, and the other was a relative of the baron, appointed by the parish church, both were well-deserved lords, the top of the village food chain.
Under these two people, in the village of Akeli, Espier, the police officer in charge of public security, O'Connor, the head of the village in charge of organizing the labor force, Thor, the rare clerk who can keep accounts and write, and the future pastor, Little Ander Lie is also a figure with a head and a face, and everyone in the villagers is in awe of him.
Most of the rest are old William, Richard, and Freeman, who are struggling to eat, are tired of farm work, and have almost no future and hope in their lives. There are even lower status farmers who, due to crimes or captives, From dawn to dusk, from changing status to working until death, but never naked, hungry, without explicit permission, stepping out of the village is a slave who will be destroyed.
And among the free farmers in the village, there is also a small rank, which is the person in charge of specific affairs such as wine tasters, messengers, plow handles, handle handles, bakers, millers, swineherds, and cowherds.
Regardless of whether they are wine tasters or messengers, it can be seen from these titles that these villagers have their own abilities. In addition to taking good care of their own land on weekdays, they can also obtain an additional income by virtue of their skills.
Obviously, compared with Wu Qingchen's family, the family situation of Niu Sheung's family is obviously much better.
You only need to look at the cattleman’s house, most of the land is concentrated on both sides of the road of his own house, and the plowing is basically completed in just half a day, replaced by Wu Qingchen’s family, or other ordinary villagers, whose land is scattered in all directions of the village. Countless hours were wasted just traveling. Even with twice as many cattle, horses and livestock, it would not take three or five days to complete the same amount of work.
----Of course, in front of Wu Qingchen from the earth, the natives of the medieval world, even kings, are not worthy of mentioning "family status".
Old William's concerns are not the reason for this.
Fertilizers were scarce in the medieval world. No matter the rotting straw, the mud in the river at the edge of the forest, or the ashes of burning vegetation, they were all inferior to the manure produced by livestock.
Of course, the most important resource is given priority to be enjoyed by the lord—ahem, use——so, in the medieval world, except when the villagers themselves need to use animal power, at other times, large animals such as cattle and horses must Hand it over to the cowherd, accept unified care, arrange to graze and grow in the public land where the master takes turns, so as to prevent the cows and horses from eating the crops, and at the same time, put the manure of the livestock into the master's mouth in a logical way—ahem, the public land.
Under such circumstances, even if the livestock were stolen, even if the cows were injured, even if they were wronged in every possible way, Old William still had to choose to swallow his anger in the face of the cowherd who controlled his cows almost every day.
"This... what to do now?"
After listening to the chatter of his parents and elder brother, mixed with anger and excitement, mixed with moaning and sighing, and also mixed with sobbing and suffocating explanations, Wu Qingchen gradually became depressed and sighed silently.
How to do…
Helpless and gloomy, he gently stroked both sides of the cow's wound. Old William's eyes were flushed and his arms trembled slightly. In the medieval world, if a family had two pillars, one of them was an adult man, and the other must be a large livestock. The status of the two was almost the same, and they even lived together in the same wooden house.
And now, one pillar has been damaged.
Ugh…
Next to the cow wagging its tail restlessly and panting heavily, Old William's distress became more obvious, Idra became more angry, Grace clenched her fists tightly, and stood in the corner, mother Jacqueline and sister Xiaoni The tear stains on Na's face became more and more clear.
Listening to the cow mooing softly from time to time, and the youngest sibling crying in the cabin, Wu Qingchen sighed heavily.
"Now...how...how?"
Mother Jacqueline wept and sobbed, and almost every syllable revealed deep misfortune and sadness: "...the cow suffered... such an injury... no matter... no matter what... it must rest for more than ten days ...the plowing will be done tomorrow...the plowing must not be delayed any longer...we still have...the summer service...this...now...how...what to do?"
How to do
Old William's eyes froze, Idra straightened her back vigorously, and the veins in Grace's arm burst out.
At the same time, the six eyes of the three men shot out a fierce light at the same time.
