caged robin

Haidongqing turned back into a cub before flying to the ground. Abner spat out the grass and hurried up and said, "I've never seen such a black Costin."

The cub was stunned for a moment, eyes full of complex emotions, and said slowly: "Actually, I was originally white, but..."

Abner quickly stopped the cub's desire to tell, "I understand, I understand, the black ones are good, and the black ones look thinner."

cub:"……"

The cub asked sincerely, "Am I fat?"

Abner took a deep breath and smiled slightly: "You are not fat, by gods, you are so strong that people are enviable."

The face of the cub glows.

Abner asked: "What was your original name? Now that it's out, forget about the ridiculous name 'Cub'."

"Christopherglennherbert. (Christopherglennherbert)"

Abner: "..." The name really is as long as his crap.

Abner scratched his head and said the name again, it was too difficult to remember, "Can you say it again?"

"Christopher Glenn Herbert."

Abner: "..." His face showed embarrassment.

The cub patiently said the third time, "Christopher..."

"Stop," Abner's temple was throbbing, "you don't have a nickname? Something easy to remember."

The cub was taken aback, lowered its head, and whispered, "Little cripple."

Abner: "..."

Then he coughed twice and said, "I heard that the end of your name looks like 'Herbert', so I'll call you 'Herbert', okay?"

The cub nodded.

Abner patted him on the back, "Let's go, Herbert."

"Where are you going?" asked Herbert.

"I'll find you a hotel in the city first, and have a good rest tonight. We'll find you tomorrow."

"Can't I be with you?" Herbert looked hurt.

Abner also replied sincerely: "You have stayed in Lange for so long, I am afraid that someone in Duolun Palace will recognize you, and it will be very troublesome..."

The three of them walked for a while before reaching the avenue, where there was an endless stream of pedestrians, carriages and horses.Herbert suddenly hesitated, turned around frequently, and looked at the narrow path behind him, the dust was flying.

"What's wrong?" Abner asked.

Herbert sighed softly, "Is it not good for me to leave like this? After all, I have been taken in for so long..."

Abner stared wide-eyed, "Don't you know that you were dragged into a brothel?!"

"What is a brothel?"

Abner felt that someone was strangling his neck, and he couldn't catch his breath for a long time. He tried to take a deep breath, and turned to Oreas, "You explain it!"

Aureas thought for a while, and explained to Herbert for a long time in their language.During this period, Herbert's expressions were full of expressions, shock, horror, anger... In the end, he seemed to have eaten too sticky stewed beans, stuck in his throat and unable to swallow, his face was black and red.He found a tree stump and sat down in a daze, lowering his head silently.

Oreas frowned at him.

Abner whispered to Oreas, "Leave him alone."

After a long time, Herbert raised his head, his complexion improved a lot, and he said slowly, "This place is really scary."

Abner shrugged, "Gods, I don't know what it's like in your place, but don't you have anything like a brothel?"

Herbert said seriously: "No, we only have one partner for life, and we will never betray each other."

This time it was Abner's turn to be shocked, "Everyone?"

"Yes."

"If one of them dies, what about the other?"

"I said, each person only has one partner, what does it have to do with death?" Herbert said indifferently, as if answering a boring question, "And after this round of physical death, the soul will soon enter In the next round, as long as the soul stays alive, we will meet again sooner or later, why worry?"

Abner trembled, and wanted to question Aureas, but Aureas nodded seriously.Abner swallowed deeply, his throat was still very dry, an unknown fire was burning from the top of his head down to the bottom of his feet, and he didn't know why he was so hot, he said in a deep voice, "You guys, really good."

Next, it was Abner's turn to be silent, until he arrived in the city, the noisy environment eased his dryness a lot.He went to the hotel where the horses were hitched, gave Herbert a room, and ordered the proprietor to get some suitable clothes for Herbert.

It was getting late, and Abner and Aureas rode back to the Duolun Palace.Along the way, Abner didn't say a word, his face was solemn, Oreas slowed down, freed up a hand to stroke his back, and asked worriedly: "What's the matter? Do you want to stop and rest for a while?" Son?"

Abner shook his head, "It's okay, I just remembered a person who can't even remember his face."

Oreas paused, "Who?"

"My mother," Abner said slowly, "I have been separated from her since birth, but she passed away before I could remember."

Aureas stroked the broken hair on his forehead and continued to listen to him: "I was thinking, if our place is the same as yours, my father has only one partner in his life, what will happen to him after my mother dies?" To spend this life? He will not marry Rhea, and it is very likely that he will not be Wang Fu. We will always live in the family manor and spend this life. Thinking about it this way, it may be good. But, Aurea Si, many things are not that simple. I clearly remember that my grandfather was not as opposed to my father's marriage as the rumors said, and my father did love my mother, but in the end he still became Yin The subject that bards love: the life-and-death love affair between commoners and nobles. No, Aurelias, that's really not the case."

Oreas listened carefully to Abner's words and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but Abner liked this state. He didn't ask the other party to give the answer when he asked the question, he just wanted to talk, so happy He has been holding back for a long time to vent.

Abner grabbed Oreas' hand holding the rein, and said seriously: "I dare to believe that you don't have so many complicated concerns, should they be pure?"

Oreas narrowed his eyes, "No, as long as there are people, there will be no purity."

Oreas hugged Abner tightly, rode his horse, and left in a hurry.

When they returned to Doron Palace, Wen Si and his men were having dinner.The long table was crowded with people, with Vince sitting in the middle, and the rest talking and laughing, their loud voices rattling the wooden floor, while the waiter next to him was busy filling glasses of beer.

Wen Si said hello to Abner: "If you don't mind, let's eat here before leaving?"

Abner smiled, "I am very happy." His father was not at home, so he was not sure that he would quarrel with Rhea at the table.

Wens asked for two more tableware, the servant hung up Abner's coat, and put the wooden box on the storage table.

Sir Adolph Capet and Sir Bento Davies on Wens' side offered to make room for Abner and Aureas to sit next to Wens.After the two sat down, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and everyone stopped talking, and even the sound of smacking beer was much quieter.Not to mention that after Abner glanced around the long table indifferently, everyone couldn't help lowering their heads, like a light on their backs.

Abner turned sideways and asked Wens in a low voice, "Did I make them nervous by being here?"

Wen Si coughed lightly, "Don't worry too much about it."

Abner raised his eyebrows lightly, straightened up, took the towel handed by the servant, wiped his hands, and asked Wen Si casually in a normal voice: "Where is Sir Rich? Monferrato? Did you see him?"

Everyone was stunned and started discussing in low voices. They thought this spoiled young master was only going around the captain, but they didn't expect to be able to name an ordinary knight and even care about his dinner.

It was the first time Wins heard Abner address Rich as "Sir", and almost choked on the beer he had just downed. "Rich is still staying in the old house and will be back in two days."

"That's right, you've been bothered by the haunting a lot these days, and many of you haven't been home for a long time," Abner said, picking up a small piece of bacon, "Let me guess, Sir Rich hasn't been home for a long time. , as soon as he entered the house, he was greeted by his mother's kiss, and his mother hurriedly asked him to prepare his favorite pudding and Bordeaux wine, and after eating and drinking, he lay down on the bed that had already been made... This is probably the feeling of home."

Everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of "home" created by Abner. They thought that a young nobleman's mind was full of delicacies and rich nectar, but they didn't expect the imagination of home to be so close to public opinion, and everyone clicked their tongues secretly , there seems to be the outline of a home in front of you.

Wen Si covered his hands and coughed lightly, turned sideways and whispered to Abner: "It's almost enough to adjust the atmosphere. If I continue, I'm afraid they will all go home crying to find their mother."

"Of course, this is also my second home, surrounded by good brothers who are rare to see." Abner added with a smile.

Vince gulped out the wine, smiled apologetically, and took off the towel on his right shoulder to wipe his hands and mouth.But the atmosphere at the table suddenly became active, and everyone continued to talk loudly, talking and laughing, and drinking beer loudly.

At this time, a plate of roasted yak meat was served, and Abner poked the oil juice on the meat with a spoon, the juice sizzled, and the outer skin was roasted crispy and crispy, and the corners of his lips curled up in satisfaction.Wen Si glanced at Abner, raised his wine glass to touch Abner's plate, and said in a low voice, "You are a showman that even the kings are afraid of."

Abner raised his glass and responded, "To each other."

Wen Si drank it in one gulp, "For life."

Abner responded, "For this plate of yak meat."

Wen Si laughed, and Abner twitched the corners of his mouth, "Don't laugh, I've been thinking about this plate of meat for a long time, and I finally managed to eat it once. I can't let me eat it under the gnashing of teeth of a group of people, right? Then It affects how I taste the texture of the meat."

"Lord Wang Fu won't even eat yak meat?"

"Master Wang Fu and his wife don't like to eat it, and Mr. Alvin also said that eating it is easy to get angry, so there is no room for me to speak."

Wen Si raised his eyebrows and said to the servant, "Give another one to Master Abner."

Abner smiled, "I blamed you wrongly, so you are so generous."

"Anyway, the king pays, you can eat as much as you want," Wen Si smiled faintly, "Eat quickly, it will be unpalatable when it gets cold."

The corner of Abner's mouth twitched, and he lowered his head, only to see Aureas handing his share in front of him.

Abner was taken aback for a moment, and glanced at the clean plates, knives and forks in front of Oreas, and he didn't eat anything.

"Why don't you eat?" Abner asked.

Oreas smiled faintly, "You can eat."

Abner frowned, and poked at Wen Si, "Look at you, even Oreas went on a hunger strike."

Wins glanced at Aureas, and whispered to Abner: "Gods, he hasn't eaten here. I'm also very surprised."

Abner was startled, and suddenly remembered that Oreas hadn't eaten anything when he went to the Cloud Blood Desert. He quickly cut off a piece of yak meat and brought it to Oreas' mouth, "Aren't you hungry?"

Aureas glanced at the piece of meat, smiled faintly, took the knife, picked up the cherry jam on the table, and spread some on the meat.

Abner was taken aback, turned around and said to Wen Si: "It turns out that Oreas has such a unique taste." As soon as he finished speaking, Oreas brought the piece of meat with sauce to his mouth.

Abner: "..."

The hand of Wen Si holding the wine glass trembled, and everyone else looked up at this scene.

Abner, however, carefully smelled the meat on the knife. He liked cherry jam the most, and he didn't think it smelled so strange, so he bit the meat, and the sweet and sour aroma of the jam mixed with the crispy aroma of the meat filled his mouth.

"It tastes really good." He nodded in surprise, then glanced around and paused, everyone was looking at him with obscure eyes.

"Cough cough...cough cough..." Suddenly, Wen Si beside him was choked by the wine and couldn't help coughing, and everyone's eyes were attracted to Wen Si.The servant hurried forward to pass the towel, Wen Si wiped the wine, his face was flushed, and his voice was hoarse, "I'm sorry, sorry, I suddenly remembered that His Majesty has a new order, everyone eat quickly, and we will have a simple meeting after eating."
