Count of Monte Cristo

Lin Ke is in pain and joy!

Now he learns horseback riding in the morning and marksmanship in the afternoon.After a few days of study, his equestrian skills are already very good. Now it is not a problem to race horses with others. Of course, he will not lose to others. He can only finish the race steadily.

As for marksmanship, it can be described in four words, that is appalling.right!It's just horrible.Everyone who saw Lin Ke shooting thought so.Even Lin Ke himself was a little discouraged, but Edmund continued to teach him as always.He was serious and didn't despise or hit Lin Ke at all, he just taught him over and over again.

Edmund stood behind Lin Ke, he held Lin Ke's right hand with both hands, and then helped Lin Ke steer clear of the direction, and whispered in his ear, "Don't close your eyes, look carefully at the target, keep your hands steady, Don't shake, be good." The gun in his hand was invented by the American Derringer in 1825, and it adopted the flash-mercury firing cap device, which greatly improved its performance.

Lin Ke hummed and pulled the trigger.

With a strain on his arm, he took a step back and stepped on Edmond's foot.

"Don't be nervous, I'm fine." Edmund could see that Linko was a little tired, and his frustration was obvious due to his poor performance.

"It's okay... you go to rest first, and I'll practice for a while." Lin Ke said in a low voice, he was wiping the butt of his gun, his head lowered and he couldn't see his expression clearly.Edmund took his gun and turned it around his shoulder. "Go, go back and make cheese. This time I will make it for you."

Lin Ke's voice was muffled, "What you cook will taste terrible."

Edmund pressed his head into his arms, and said with a smile, "You have to eat it if it's unpalatable..."

Lin Ke thought for a while, then nodded, and reluctantly said: "Okay. But I need to practice for a while." He had calmed down now, looked at the target in the distance, and was eager to try again.

Edmund gave him the gun and stepped aside. Lin Ke was very fast this time. Raise the gun, aim, and fire!

Of course, he still missed. He fired a few more shots, and when he heard the bang bang, his mood suddenly improved.

"Let's go! Go home and eat cheese!" He threw the gun to Edmund, and then walked away without looking back. He took big steps and walked very gracefully.

Dinner was to be expected... terrible.It seems that there are things that Edmund can't handle. Lin Ke frowned while swallowing the cheese while making complaints.

Edmund noticed it himself, so he put down the table after two mouthfuls.Lin Ke also put it down, "I'd better make another one, is the noodle soup okay?"

"No, we should go to the Earl of Mansfield's house. His ball is about to begin."

Lin Ke suddenly realized, "I almost forgot."

Mansfield was a baron in Florence, well known there.Edmund came here to call on him once, and two days ago he sent an invitation to a ball he gave.

Lin Ke muttered: "Then I'm going to have a good meal! The baron's house should have a lot of food, right?"

Edmund didn't eat casually at other people's houses, and Lin Ke had already noticed him a little bit.He subconsciously didn't ask why.The Avengers didn't eat the food from the enemy's house, neither did Edmund.This person is very wary. Although he is polite and personable when facing strangers, making people feel his charm, he never let go of his guard. Lin Ke can always find the indifference in his eyes when talking with others And the sneer at the corner of the mouth.

There is a small road to go to Baron Mansfield's house. Edmond and Linke rode their horses and walked slowly on the road. Linke also took a detour on the way. While walking, he found that they were lost...Let's go When I arrived at a cemetery, I saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old shepherd boy crying there.The shepherd boy has yellow hair and big eyes.

Lin Ke wanted to ask for directions, but he got off his horse but did not go to the side of the shepherd boy, and asked loudly, "Partner, what's wrong with you?"

Edmund frowned and dismounted too.The shepherd boy whispered something, and Lin Ke understood that his friend ignored him and got angry.So the shepherd boy was very sad and didn't know how to comfort his little friend, a little girl who loves to cry and loves beauty.

Lin Ke smiled and conjured a flower.Edmund watched him show off his magic skills again, and without disturbing him, he handed over this simple magic trick to the shepherd boy.The shepherd boy is very clever and learns quickly.

"As long as you give her a beautiful flower, she will forgive you." Lin Ke said, "I will give this flower to you." It was a tulip carved out of wood.The shepherd boy laughed through his tears, "Then what can I help you with?"

Edmond said: "We are lost, can you tell me how to get to Baron Mansfield's farm?"

"Are you going to the baron's house? I am his shepherd boy. I will take you there." The shepherd boy looked very happy. He took the cattle and sheep to the cemetery, and then went on the road with them. At this time, Lin Cole and Edmund did not ride horses, but walked.Because the shepherd boy said that there was a short path leading to the baron's house, which was not suitable for riding a horse, so they put the horse in the cemetery.

The three walked together.On the small road, several people started talking, mainly Lin Ke was talking to the shepherd boy. Lin Ke just felt that the little shepherd boy was a bit like a foreign child star he had seen on TV before, so he asked a few more questions.Unexpectedly, this shepherd boy is a talker. He probably thinks that Lin Ke is very powerful. After all, the magic just now is the legendary magic, and he admires it very much.That's how Lin Ke got to know his name, his name is Wampa.His father was a shepherd with a small flock of sheep and bought wool and milk for a living.When he was only seven years old, he asked a priest to teach him to read and write.Lin Ke was surprised to know that he was 14 now, because he looked so malnourished.He has a little friend, that little girl who loves to cry, her name is Theresa, she is very lively, very happy, loves to be coquettish, and also loves beauty.

Sure enough, as the shepherd boy said, they arrived at Mansfield's farm in ten minutes.

That evening the dance went so-so, Edmond socialized with others, and Lin Ke was in charge of eating and drinking.

But an interesting thing happened at the ball.That is, the little shepherd boy and his good friend also attended the ball, but he sneaked in. Lin Ke saw Vampa doing magic to the beautiful girl and made her grin.He was also very happy, but halfway through the dance, a row of cabins behind the baron's farm caught fire. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but it still cast a shadow on the dance.When Edmund came back, he looked thoughtful.It was late at night when the two of them came back.Lin Ke was so full and sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes anymore, and it was Edmond who carried him back to his room.The two rode back together, and Lin Ke didn't wake up after bumping and bumping on the horse for half a night.Edmund sometimes admired his ability to sleep when he felt like it.

Lin Ke got up very early the next day, but it wasn't because he woke up, but because he had a stomachache... He has run to the toilet three times since morning.He lay on the bed as if exhausted, and joked, "It seems that this dinner party cannot be eaten casually."

"Don't talk nonsense, drink some water." Edmund helped him up and handed him a glass of water.

Lin Ke took a few sips of water, his lips moistened.

Edmund had already shown it to him. It was just that his stomach was damaged by eating, and he would be fine on an empty stomach for a day.

Lin Ke had no choice but to accept this result. He could only lie in bed and read those hateful art theories today, and his Latin courses had been pulled down a lot. Edmund bought him two more volumes of Latin poetry, and Lin Ke could only read them. Sleep for a while.He drank water, did not eat, and had no appetite.Edmund stayed with him all morning, and he went out in the afternoon when he had something to do.Lin Ke himself was bored, and he had recovered a little strength, so he wanted to go out for a walk.He remembered that he made an appointment with the little shepherd boy Vampa today, and he promised to give him another little magic trick.Lin Ke flipped through the collection of poems, recited two simple poems by himself and prepared to deal with Edmund when he came back, and then went out.They met at the cemetery that day. Lin Ke didn't ride a horse, he walked. When he walked to the street, he suddenly remembered that there were rumors that the robbers really came. There were people discussing it at the ball yesterday. Lin Ke thought for a while and walked into a cafe, then took out a gold coin to the waiter, told him the appearance and characteristics of the shepherd boy, and asked Vampa to meet here.Unexpectedly, this shepherd boy was quite famous. As soon as Lin Ke described it, the waiter understood that there was no need for Lin Ke to tell him the address. He quickly smiled and said that he would definitely find Wampa.

The waiter told Lin Ke to wait here with peace of mind.By the way, he also popularized Wampa's heroic deeds to Lin Ke.

One evening, a wolf came out of the pine forest, and Vampa killed the wolf with an old shotgun.Satisfied with his achievement, Vampa returned to the farm with the dead wolf on his shoulders, so that Vampa became famous around the baron's farm.

Lin Ke didn't expect the little luotou he met yesterday to be so powerful, and he heard from the waiter that his marksmanship is also very good.He was said to be able to hit the mossy olive trees that grew on Shaping Hill, the foxes that burrowed to feed, and the eagles that soared above their heads.He fired projectiles at will, with such accuracy that the target was as close as a few feet.

Lin Ke wanted to make friends with him even more, maybe he could also help him practice marksmanship well.

Lin Ke sat down and drank a glass of water. The waiter came back soon, but there was no Vampa behind him.He told Lin Ke that Wampa was not there, and he seemed to be leading the way for others.And he found a note that Wampa had left for Lin Ke, saying that he would meet him in the woods at three o'clock in the afternoon, and that there was a surprise waiting for him.

Lin Ke was surprised, but at the same time curious.So he decided to go there by himself. Anyway, the grove is very close to the hotel. It only takes 10 minutes to come back after seeing the surprise. He happily said goodbye to the waiter, then walked back to the hotel, took another afternoon nap, and then got up to go up the grove.

But unexpectedly, something happened to him.

He was caught by robbers.That notorious gang of bandits, Kukumetto's Bandit Gang.
