Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]

"Master?" Jia Dou looked at the person standing on the boulder in surprise.

It was just after noon, and the sun was at its most vicious.

The sky is very blue, and the sun is dazzling. In the southeast sky, there is a planet with a huge outline and ring lines that can be vaguely seen. There is a small crescent moon in front of this huge planet.

This is a completely different celestial phenomenon from the earth.

Tang Bo held his head up and looked at the sky. The hem of his white linen dress fluttered in the wind. The palm-wide belt tied his lean waist. The open-toed animal skin sandals were only enjoyed by nobles.

"Master, what are you doing here? You are not in good health, so it's not suitable for you to come out to bask in the sun at this time." Jia Dou offered courteously.

Tang Bo turned his back to him, still looking at the sky and the distance.

Jia Dou scratched his scalp: In such a vicious sun, what if the young master passes out due to the heat?

Seeing the young master's concentration, Jia Dou couldn't help but look around.

Nothing out of the ordinary?

Everything is still the same, the yellow land, the drooping crops, the vegetation is not lush, there are a dozen villages around the farmland, and everyone in the village is so poor that the whole family only has one pair of trousers, and the bottom of the field is bare, and the houses are all yellow. The mud houses made of mud must be repaired after the rainy season, otherwise they will collapse in winter.

Jia Dou stood by the boulder and looked further away.

The White Deer Collar is just stuck in the transitional position between the hills and the plains, half of which are relatively gentle hills and half of which are plains.

There is little water here, and there are no big rivers and lakes. The water source all year round depends on the rainy season.

The Tang family's lord's mansion was built on top of a gentle hill about twenty meters high.

Coming down from the Lord's Mansion is a long slope, with the Lord's Mansion as the center, and within a radius of [-] miles, it belongs to the territory of the Tang family.

It's a pity that there is really nothing good in this land. None of the dozen or so rolling hills has lush forests, and when they are dug down, they are all gray-white stones.

These gray and white stones are of no great use other than building houses, but they are hard and difficult to mine. Except for the Lord's Mansion, other people simply don't have the ability and financial resources to cut the stones into stone bricks of suitable size to build houses.

It is said that Bailuling used to be a good place with rich soil and water. There was a white deer here. It was discovered by the ancestors of the Tang family at that time, and the white deer was dedicated to the Luma Grand Duke at that time.

The Tang family's third-class baronet title came from this.

After the white deer was captured, the water and soil here deteriorated every year. The locals secretly said that the white deer was the spirit of the land here. The ancestors of the Tang family captured the white deer, which was equivalent to giving the spirit of the land here to others. .

But no one dared to say this to the lord face to face, unless he wanted to die.

Jia Dou felt that the Tang family should all know this legend, because he heard from his ancestors that the lords of the Tang family were looking for a new white deer—his ancestors were also the bodyguards of the Tang family, and their family has been the bodyguards of the Tang family for generations. The mud legs of the whole White Deer collar are envious of a good job that they can't even envy.

Jia Dou didn't want to lose this job, even if the job wasn't as glamorous as it looked on the surface, the danger they faced was no less than those mud-legged ones, but it was only for the face of being guards and famine, they could still eat their fill. At this point, he hopes that his son, his grandson... his descendants and grandchildren can inherit this job.

"Young master, it's too hot, you should go back." Jia Dou was so hot that he stood there for a short while, and the sackcloth on his body was drenched with sweat.

The young master ignored him and stood for a while before getting down from the boulder.

After Tang Bo got down, he sat down on the big stone behind him.

The surface of the boulder was scorched by the sun, and Tang Bo jumped up as soon as he sat down.

"Master?" Jia Dou asked tentatively.

Tang Bo found a shady place and ordered the guards: "You, go to my bedroom, fish out the Demon God's Eye from the toilet, wash it and bring it here. Quick!"

Jia Dou: "...Yes."

【Congratulations!The guard Jia Dou has hatred for the transformed person, and the transformed person's character value is -0.1.The total character value of the transformed person is +0.1, -30.1. 】

The guard Jia Dou was full of reluctance, but he had no choice but to go back and fish out the Demon God's Eye from the toilet, clean it again and again, and then send it to Tang Bo.

"Take it." Tang Bo was full of disgust.

Jia Dou also disliked him, but who made him a slave.

【Congratulations!The guard Jia Dou has hatred for the transformed person, the character value of the transformed person is -0.1, the total character value of the transformed person is +0.1, -30.2.Note that positive and negative character values ​​cannot cancel each other out. 】

"Let's go." Tang Bo stood up.

Jia Dou hurriedly followed with the Demon God's Eye in his hands.

Tang Bo walked down the long slope to the nearest village.Now that he has passed through here and has become the son of a lord, he must understand his territory.

The original body doesn't seem to be interested in the life of the people in the territory, and doesn't take much care of the affairs of the territory. So far, the affairs of the territory seem to be handled by the housekeeper.

Tang Bo didn't mind giving up power, but he had to understand his own territory, and he didn't want to be fooled.

The weather was so hot that the air was streaked, and the cicada-like insects could be heard constantly screaming on the road.The biological evolution here is very similar to that of the earth, probably related to the similarity of the environment?

Seeing Tang Bo's leaders on the road, they all pressed their right hands to their chests and bent over to salute. Most of these people were naked and their skin was tanned.

The villagers were very nervous. What did this young master want to do by suddenly patrolling the village at noon?

Flutter.

When passing a low bush, Tang Bo suddenly turned his head to look at the side of the road.

Jia Dou followed and looked over: "Master?"

Tang Bo didn't speak, just paused for a moment, and then walked forward.

Jia Dou even went closer to the bush to look around, but found nothing.

When Tang Bo entered the village, the villagers didn't fawn over him, but avoided him from a distance. Only a few courageous ones secretly and nervously stared at him.

Flutter.

There is an obvious sound of shrubs shaking, something is moving through the shrubs.

Tang Bo turned his head again.

Jia Dou followed immediately, but there was nothing behind him, only the silent sparse bushes.

Jia Dou became vigilant, but no matter how careful he was along the way, he still found nothing.

When Tang Bo walked around the village, he wanted to talk to the villagers here, but seeing that the villagers were so frightened that they hid in their homes, he didn't want to bother with it.

It's really poor here, poor and dirty.

The houses are all made of yellow mud, small and low, not like houses for people, but more like pigsty.Oh, there are no pigs here, he didn't even see a pig, nor did he see poultry such as cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks.

Children and old people are completely naked. Only the main labor force in the family will wrap a piece of cloth around the waist, and the upper body of the woman will be covered with a piece of cloth around the chest. Some are cloth, and some simply use straw curtains made of hay.Nobody was ashamed of it, and nobody was staring at anyone, it was all the same, so it wasn't surprising.

Regardless of men, women or children, they defecate anywhere, and there are countless flies sticking to the feces on the side of the road. As soon as you approach, dozens of flies will fly over and circle you, so the smell is not to mention.

Tang Bo drove away the flies as he walked.

There is no nearby river, no well water, and the people here seem to have to bring water back from a small river at least one kilometer away. He saw someone walking home with a small stone jar on his head and shoulders.

Poor, dirty, lacking everything, more water.It seems that what the people have the most is the fear of the lord's family.

Tang Bo walked for more than two hours, his feet and clothes were stained with loess, and he was extremely thirsty, so he returned home.He must bring water with him next time he goes out. The guard Jia Dou is also superficially clever, and he didn't even bring a water bottle.

Who knows the life without running water.Apart from the small river, he must find a new source of water, otherwise he would rather move, or give up his identity as the son of the lord and leave here.

Jia Dou was drenched in sweat after following him, wishing he could stick out his tongue and pant like a dog.I don't understand how the young master, who is just recovering from a serious illness, is so energetic.

When passing through a bush, Tang Bo turned his head and said, "You follow me all the way, what do you want?"

Jia Dou immediately pulled out his iron sword vigilantly - this is a rare treasure in the lord's mansion, and guards who are not particularly trusted are only worthy of bone stabs with stone knives.

Tang Bo stood still and waited patiently.It was a little guy, he was sure.His mental strength allowed him to "see" it.

"Who, come out!" Jia Dou shouted.

Tang Bo pushed Jia Dou away with a slap, touched his pocket, but found nothing, and waved to the bushes like a puppy: "Don't be afraid, come out."

After a while, a small black furry head finally poked out from the bushes.

There is a little green in the middle of the dark eyes, and the whites of the eyes are blue. This child has a pair of very beautiful eyes, but his face is messy with green and black grass juice.

What attracted Tang Bo was not the child's double pupils and his little face painted like camouflage, but the scar between his brows.

The scar looked deep at first glance, as if a piece of flesh had been dug out, leaving only a sunken gap.

Jia Dou frowned, and leaned closer to Tang Bo and whispered: "Master, this brat might be a runaway slave. Some slaves will be branded between the eyebrows by the master. He may have dug out the brand between the eyebrows."

Tang Bo looked at the linen clothes and straw sandals on the child, and beckoned to the child again, "Come here."

The child hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly emerged from the bushes.Even the bare limbs of the child were painted with green and black grass juice.

Jia Dou stood in front of Tang Bo, not allowing the children to approach.

Tang Bo pushed Jia Dou away again and asked the child, "Are you hungry?"

The camouflage child tilted his head, as if he was thinking about whether the two were good or bad. When Tang Bo asked him the second time, the child rolled his eyes and nodded in confusion.

Tang Bo then told Jia Dou, "Take him."

Jia Dou: "..." Okay, you are the young master, you have the final say.

The child refused Jia Dou to carry him on his back, and followed the two of them not too far away.

Tang Bo took a shower before entering the bedroom, and then went to the dining room to eat a few slices of bread, a few slices of slightly smelly bacon, and a bowl of soup with a salty taste.

The bread is too thick to taste, the soup is sticky and sticky to the throat, and the cured meat is even more horrible, and it stinks!

He didn't want to eat, but he was very hungry.

Tang Bo didn't notice that the servants around him were drooling at the white bread and bacon, including his bodyguard Jia Dou.

Jia Dou approached Tang Bo with the Demon God's Eye in his hands, but he didn't speak yet.

Tang Bo said coldly: "Take it away, it stinks to me."

Jia Dou: "..."

system:【……】

The child followed suit with a little food, but he didn't eat much. A piece of thick bread and half a bowl of mush was enough, and he didn't even eat any meat.

After driving Jia Dou away, Tang Bo didn't say another word, even the child he brought back, he didn't look at it much, and went back to the bedroom directly.

The kid was also weird, no one asked him, and he didn't speak, just ate and drank in silence.

Jia Dou observed secretly, and began to doubt his own judgment.Slaves don't have the courage to sit at the same table with their masters to eat, and the child doesn't show any shyness or fear, as if this kind of eating environment and tablemates are commonplace.

The housekeeper called Jia Dou aside and asked the young master why he went out suddenly.

Jia Dou was also confused, and only said that the young master walked around the nearest village.

"Are there any beautiful women in that village?" the steward asked.

Jia Dou shook his head: "Master, you don't like those dirty and smelly mud legs."

"What's the matter with that kid?" the housekeeper asked again.

Jia Dou looked helpless: "The young master picked it up on the road."

You ass me?The butler had question marks all over his face.When will their young master be kind enough to pick up someone on the road and give him white bread that only the master can eat and wheat flour paste without wheat bran?

"Then did the young master say how to arrange for this child?"

Jia Dou shook his head again, "The young master didn't say anything."

The butler had no choice but to ask himself.

But when he got to the young master's bedroom, he found that the young master had already gone to bed and slept soundly.And the sleeping posture is very correct, the horns are pulled to the chest, and the hands are interlaced on the abdomen. People who don't know may think... Cough!

Everyone in the mansion knew that the young master had a terrible aura of getting up, no one dared to wake him up when he was fast asleep, not even the housekeeper.

The child seemed to want to stay in Tang Bo's bedroom, but the responsible housekeeper would not let a stranger stay in his master's bedroom, even if it was a little boy who looked only four or five years old.

The butler put the Devil's Eye that Jia Dou gave him on the table by the window, and brought the child out of the bedroom, intending to ask the young master when he woke up.As for the kid, let him share a room with Jia Dou Tian Min for the time being.

The housekeeper has more knowledge than the guard Jia Dou, he doesn't think this kid who can afford fine linen clothes and is very calm is a slave, according to his guess, he suspects that this kid should be from a wealthy family, so he ran here, Either he escaped after being trafficked, or he accidentally got separated from his family and lost his way.

In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, everyone in the entire Lord's Mansion was fast asleep.

The gate of the Lord's Mansion was suddenly opened, and a figure appeared.

This figure was carrying a hoe, and rushed to the field quickly. He seemed to have found the target, digging here and there, and soon dug himself into a clay figurine.

Water, he wants to find a new water source, he can sense where there is more water vapor.If you dig a lot, you will be able to dig it out.

A smaller figure followed behind. He thought he was about to pry into a big secret, but in the end he became more and more confused.
