Start with the Eye of Sauron

Chapter 3 Little Ciri

The person outside the window was Soros's playmate since he was a child. Knowing that today is Soros' birthday, he specially brought some gifts to visit him.

Unexpectedly, before entering the door, I saw Soros lying on the ground crawling around outside the wooden window, still yelling something vaguely.

"Well, it's nothing, I just know that I am an adult today, so I am happier."

Quickly running forward, Soros opened the door and let Ciri enter.

"You look like this when you're happy?"

Shirley didn't intend to let him go so easily, he put down the things he was carrying, and began to imitate Soros, getting up on all fours, while raising his hands from time to time, hammering on his chest a few times , making a yelling sound.

"Come on, get up, I'll get you something to eat." Soros shook his head with a smile, went to the kitchen to pick up a kitchen knife, cut a few slices off a large rough bread, poured a glass of juice, brought it out.

"You haven't had breakfast this morning, have you?"

Shirley was also polite, and took the coarse bread that Soros had cut for him and gnawed on it. Hearing what Soros said, he shook his head.

"My dad caught some fish last night, and I specially picked a few big ones for you."

Picking up the bamboo basket just brought over, Shirley lifted a grass carp and held it in front of Soros.

"This head is really not small." Soros took the grass carp, which was really heavy.

"That's for sure, the fish my dad catches will always be fat-headed and big-headed!" Shirley put his hips on his hips, with a smug face, he took Soros' hand and added another sentence.

"Come to my house for lunch. My mother knows that it's your birthday, so she specially prepared pork chops and wine."

"Okay, thank you very much." Soros directly agreed. The people in the town usually take care of each other. If there are no officers who are in the fish and meat village all day long, their life is still very nourishing.

The town of Vail is built next to the river, and the wide river has become the main source of income for residents. Originally, people here could live a life full of food and wine just by fishing and planting potatoes.

The mayor of the small town has set up various taxes to exploit the villagers' harvests. The residents who could live a life of food and clothing often live on two meals a day, and sometimes they can't get much. The fish, the family still has to stop cooking.

"Wow, what is this thing in your hand, it's so beautiful!"

Shirley held Soros' hand and looked excitedly at the ring on his hand. He could be regarded as a child of a poor family, and he had never seen a shining gold ring.

"Before my father died, he gave me a small box and told me that this thing was a gift for me as an adult. I opened the box excitedly until early this morning. Unexpectedly, it was this beautiful one. ring."

Soros began to feel a little uneasy. The Lord of the Rings is in the original book of Lord of the Rings, and it belongs to the object that everyone will go crazy when they see it. He doesn't know whether Ciri in front of him will have evil intentions towards him.

"Your father is really kind. You should take good care of it and don't lose it. Don't wear such a valuable item on your hand. It's easy to cause accidents."

What Ciri said made Soros heave a sigh of relief. He nodded seriously and took off the ring.

"Let's go now, I'll take the coarse bread and eat it on the way."

Shirley walked to the dining table, picked up the glass of juice and drank it down, took the rough bread in his hand, pulled Soros and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, I'll do something first."

When he came to the desk beside him, Soros found a beautiful necklace based on his memory, which was the only item passed down from his mother.After thinking about it, he took off the small drill on the necklace, passed the necklace chain through the ring, and put it on his neck.

After tidying up his collar, covering the necklace completely, Soros nodded in satisfaction, and put the small diamond back in its original position. . .

Accompanying Xili on the country road, Soros didn't feel any strangeness in the surrounding environment. It was obviously just the memory he received today, but everything in front of him really looked like he had lived here for more than ten years. .

Breathing the fresh air and feeling the breeze blowing from the big river, Soros narrowed his eyes comfortably.

Shirley's home is at the back of the town, and the town is not big, with less than a hundred families in total.After walking for about 10 minutes, Soros came to the familiar wooden door.

There is a window next to a small wooden door, and a long wooden chair is placed by the window with a kerosene lamp on it. This is Shirley's cozy little home.

"Soros, come in, today is your coming-of-age day, we have to celebrate it."

Before reaching the door, the small wooden door opened, and a wrinkled woman came out, smiled and kissed Soros on the forehead.

"Thank you, aunt, let's go into the house first."

Also tapped on Shirley's mother's forehead, Soros walked into Shirley's home.

Several plates had already been placed on the dining table in the house, and the stove beside it was crackling. After talking to Soros, the woman hurried back to work in the kitchen.

"I'm going to help my mother mash potatoes, you sit here for a while."

"I'm going to help too."

"Sit here honestly, you don't need to do anything today, just wait and eat."

Ciri smiled and patted Soros on the shoulder, and ran quickly towards the kitchen.

Soros sat on the bench, and he was very touched by the warm scene. His previous life was not bad, but it really lacked some fireworks.

"Hey, is anyone here, open the door!"

Not long after sitting down, there was a loud sound of leather boots outside the house, followed by a rude knock on the door.Soros' originally very happy mood sank to the bottom in an instant. He controlled his emotions and opened the dilapidated wooden door.

"You little brat, go aside!"

Pushing Soros away roughly, the officer scratched his neck and shouted loudly.

"The Nicholson family, this month's land tax has not been paid yet!"

The short, fat, bearded officer in front of him stood at the door with a proud face.He twitched his nose slightly and sneered.

"You have a good life, how many meals a day?"

"Shirley, you and Soros go to the back room." Hastily extinguishing the firewood on the stove, the woman ran out and drove Soros and Shirley into the house.

Turning around, the woman put on a flattering smile, and silently bent down.

"Officer Barry..."
