caged robin

What rushed towards him was the picture of cloud and blood desolation that occupied a whole page, densely packed with cloud and blood flowers like dots of blood, and Abner couldn't help being frightened when he thought of going to this ghostly place tomorrow, and hurriedly turned over to read the text.

I thought I could see some amazing myths and legends, but the introduction was very simple. Except for some well-known things, the book said that cloud blood flower is actually a kind of beneficial flower, which can be used as medicine. What herbs can have what function...

"It's so powerful..." Abner was surprised to find that cloud blood flower paired with mint can actually aphrodisiac!

He raised his eyebrows and turned to the next page.On this page, a flower with black leaves and stems is drawn, and the description is very similar to the empusae mentioned by Orreas.He hurriedly read the explanation: it grows at the bottom of the lake in the center of Cloud Blood Desolation. It is highly poisonous. After taking it, hallucinations will appear, accompanied by madness, dementia, self-mutilation and other behaviors. This flower has not been found outside Cloud Blood Desolation yet.

"..." Abner was surprised. Is this thing so scary? The book didn't even mention the name of the flower.

At this moment, there was a slight friction sound of fur, and Abner turned his head, and saw that Sean was in a restless sleep, moving around, muttering something, and the wool blanket fell to the ground.

Abner put the book back and helped Sean cover it again.Suddenly Sean grabbed his hand, and he lowered his head, thinking that Sean had woken up, but Sean closed his eyes tightly and muttered something.He moved closer to Sean's lips and listened carefully.

"Chirp... Chirp..." Xiao En muttered.

"Chirp? Chirping?" Abner sat beside him, and saw Sean frowning, biting his lips, and holding Abner's hand more and more firmly.

"Jiujiu..." Sean muttered.

"..." Is there any side effect of being possessed by a ghost?

Abner sighed softly, and patted Sean on the back. Sean seemed to feel relieved, and his brows slowly relaxed.

"Uncle..." Sean said softly.

What?uncle?Is it the dead Nero? Duke Margeri?

"Uncle... Chirp..." Sean's voice was choked with sobs, and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

Abner was flustered for a moment, he had never seen Sean shed tears since he moved into Duolun Palace, so suddenly, he was caught off guard.He groped his pockets up and down, and the lord had a white handkerchief in his pocket, but he could only take out a cloth bag containing broken bread.In desperation, he reached for Sean's pocket under the wool blanket, which he believed Sean must have.

Suddenly Abner felt a huge pressure behind him, with his hands still in Sean's pockets, he turned around awkwardly, and saw Oreas coming in at some point, his eyes were cold on Abner's strange arm scan.For some reason, Abner suddenly felt guilty. He quickly took out his handkerchief, waved at Aureas again, then turned around stiffly, and wiped away tears for Sean.

"I don't know why Sean cried when he fell asleep, and I don't have a handkerchief... so I asked him..." Abner took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of Sean's eyes repeatedly until there was no trace of water. He is still rubbing.

Oreas sat across from Abner, stared at Abner closely without saying anything.

Abner: "..."

Abner was holding the handkerchief in one hand, while the other hand was still in Sean's.He struggled a little to break free, and Sean frowned.After a while, he sighed softly, leaned his face on the table, and muttered: "Sean, you should let go, I'm so tired and thirsty..."

Suddenly Aureas stood up, turned and left.

"Aureas! Hey! Where are you going! Aureas!" Abner yelled at Aureas's back, but Aureas quickly disappeared in front of his eyes.

Not long after, Oreas came over with a cup and put it in front of Abner.Abner was taken aback, looking at the clear water inside, "Where are the cups and water?"

Oreas turned away, and Abner saw a maid outside the door bowing respectfully towards him.Not only did he learn languages ​​quickly, but he was also self-taught in this area, Abner thought.

As soon as Abner picked up the cup and took a sip, Oreas came over and picked him up, and after Oreas sat down, he put Abner on his lap.

Abner: "..." Although this movement is strange, it is quite comfortable.

He took another sip of water, turned to Aureas and said, "I'm so bored, help me get a book, there is a book called "Five Hundred Kinds of Folk Songs" on the shelf over there."

Aureas rubbed his head and went to get him a book.

Abner felt that these days were quite comfortable, no wonder nobles wanted a personal servant... No no, this is my brother.

Oreas brought him the book, and Abner continued to sit on the comfortable lap, moving his buttocks several times, trying to find the best comfort point.Finally, Oreas narrowed his eyes and slapped his ass, and Abner settled down.

Abner took another sip of water, smacked his lips, thinking that it would be more perfect if it was mint tea.He put down his glass and turned to the first page.

"Huh? It seems to be different from the one just now." The first page is blank, not the one with the horror catalog just now.

He flipped the page back again, and spouted a mouthful of water, which wet the pages.It turned out to be full of dirty pictures!

"I didn't expect Bai Hanlou to buy a little pornographic book from a vendor, hahahahaha..."

Without turning his head, Abner turned his arm behind his back and patted Oreas on the shoulder, "Hey, Oreas, do you have..."

Suddenly Abner's hand was caught, he turned his head in a daze, and met Oreas' ashen face.

"My lords...brother, why are you so serious? You don't know about this kind of thing, do you? Don't stare at me...you make me very guilty..."

Oreas stretched out his hand, closed the book, and said deeply: "You are still young, so read less."

"I'm not young anymore, I'm going to have my coming-of-age ceremony next month," Abner hurriedly opened the book to the page that was just wet, and put his cloth bag on it to absorb water, "Don't make it too bad , when the time comes to ask me to pay for this book, my father will definitely break my leg."

"As long as you know," Oreas said.

Abner twitched the corner of his mouth, patted Oreas' chest, and said, "Why do I feel that I treat you as a brother, but you treat me as a son?"

Oreas was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he rubbed his head and said, "You're just a child."

Abner: "..."

Then she turned around silently, blotted the water off the painting, and closed the book.

He was silent for a long time, then he turned around and said: "Oreas, promise me, don't treat me like a son, we are still good buddies. My lords, my father wants to fight every day. Break one of my legs, if you break my other leg again, I won't even have a chance to climb..."

"Lance." Oreas frowned, interrupting Abner's words.

"The only one?" Abner wondered, "Why did you say this all of a sudden?"

Oreas said softly: "No matter what you do, I will not break your leg, Lance."

For some reason, Abner felt hot behind his ears. He cleared his throat, "Brother, I am very happy to hear what you said, but why do you always add the word 'only'? Are you emphasizing this sentence?"

Oreas was silent, looked at Abner, and nodded.

On the boulevard outside Duolun Palace, four men gathered. They looked at the bronze gate of the palace, waiting for their companions to appear.

"Captain, are you sure that delicate young master will come? Shouldn't you be crying while hugging the horse's head?" Rich asked, his tone full of doubts.

"What Abner promised will be done, and I will remind you of the last sentence, Rich," Wins glared at Rich, "Shut your crow's mouth later, if you keep talking , I promise the kings that your beard will be separated from your face!"

Rich shut up obediently. The Monferrato family he belongs to is proud of a beard. If a man doesn't have a beard, he will be ashamed to see his ancestors.

"Captain, Sir Rich, put out the fire and drink some water." A soft voice came.

"Thank you, Keener." Wins took the water bag Keener handed over, "Rich, can you learn from Keener and see how stable this kid is."

It was only last night that Wins told Keener and Tommen about Abner's noble status, but Keener just smiled and said "I see".

Tommen crouched in the corner with his head in his arms, and thought to himself for a long time, "My God, I actually said and did such disrespectful things to the noble young master... Shanna, what should I do, I'm afraid I can't Live to see you..."

Rich originally looked down on Robin and Master Abner, but now that they are one, he raised his eyebrows, "Wonderful."

At this moment, Rich snorted, "I don't want water, I want to drink! Wine!"

"Sir Richie, I have beer here!" Tommen quickly handed over the wine bag, and Richie took a big gulp, smacking his mouth.

Wen Si glanced at Rich and sighed softly. If it wasn't because Rich was familiar with that desolate land, even if the kings begged him, he wouldn't take this violent bear with him.He looked at the bronze door and frowned.

Wins remembered that when he first met Abner, his attitude towards Abner was even worse than Rich.At that time, he was just a gatekeeper, and it was difficult for him to even have food and clothing with a few copper coins.He was asked to search every person and every carriage at the gate of the city that day, because Silverbow City was quite unstable in those days.

"Hell, don't you want me to offend people?" Wen Si sighed and stood at the gate of the city, sternly facing everyone who passed by.

Suddenly a carriage that was not slow was driving towards the city gate, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, "Please cooperate with the inspection."

He glanced at the polished oak and the gleaming golden metal edges, and felt a lump in his heart, then walked straight to the curtain with his face still straightened.Fortunately, the owner of the carriage didn't make things difficult for him. He lifted the curtain and let Wens get on the carriage to check.

As soon as Wen Si raised his head, he almost exclaimed. In front of him was a handsome and elegant young lord and a young lady who was so beautiful that people couldn't take his eyes off him. Instead of looking at Wen Si, he rested his chin in one hand, opened the yellow silk curtain with the other, and looked out the window, bored and extremely arrogant.

Wen Si cleared his throat with some embarrassment: "Please get up, my honorable lady."

Little Abner still didn't look at Wen Si, but looked out the window and said flatly, "It's the young master."

Wins: "..."

"Please stand up, honorable young master."

Little Abner lazily stood up and checked Wen Si.

After checking, Wen Si ran out of the carriage as if fleeing.The luxurious carriage sped past, Wen Si raised his head, and saw the beautiful young master smiling arrogantly at something, waved his slender hand, and the yellow silk curtain fell down.The hasty horse's hooves rolled up the dead leaves on the ground and hit Wen Si's trouser legs.

Wens, who was still very poor, was greatly shocked: "It's really arrogant..."

Afterwards, every time Wens mentioned this matter to Abner, Abner would give him a supercilious look, "That's your own opinion. At that time, I just saw a bird outside that I had never seen before, and I was fascinated by it." .”

Later, he changed his opinion of Abner for the first time in a fencing match.At that time, he was already an honorary knight, and he was not far from becoming the captain of the sword-clad knight.He often came and went to Duolun Palace, and often came into contact with activities held by nobles.It was a relatively important fencing competition, specially prepared for young masters. As long as they can get a place in that competition, their reputation will spread throughout Silver Bow City, and at the same time, they will be included in the list of noble ladies who can be considered. on the engagement list.

He noticed the little Abner at a glance, because the little Abner had cut off his long hair at some point, and his arms were wrapped in gauze. His neat short hair made him look slender and straight as a child, but the most attractive His little Abner held the sword in a very standard posture, with his legs spread out steadily, and he looked very smart.

He squinted his eyes, feeling that this beautiful young master had two hands.

But the opponent was a clumsy little young master who held the wooden sword as if he had never touched a sword before.He turned around bored, already knowing the ending.

But only heard a sigh, he turned around, and the wooden sword of little Abner was chopped out.The young master who had won looked at his hands in disbelief.

"Stupid," Vince whispered.

He exited the school grounds, and suddenly saw little Abner sitting on the stone steps outside, playing with the wooden sword in his hand for a while, and then put it aside, looking out into the sky.

"Master, with all due respect, you lost on purpose," Wens said.

Little Abner glanced at him, but did not answer.

Wins felt that little Abner had an aura that his peers didn't have, so he became interested, and sat beside him, "Master, you are full of sympathy, do you want to be a 'bread rabbit'?" Bread rabbits who mainly live in the mountains , once caught by the villagers, there must be a few bread rabbits who will let their companions escape even if they are beaten to death by the villagers.

"No, it's just that everyone takes what they need." Little Abner began to play with the wooden sword again.

"Oh?"

"He needs to win, I need to lose, that's all." Little Abner smiled lightly, grabbed the wooden sword and threw it forward, and the wooden sword disappeared into the green forest.
