Kidnapping All Mankind

Chapter 65: Shame

"... that was the first time I gave the livestock to the steward, and then ... then I became a burdock."

"Ah ..." When I heard this answer suddenly, my son didn't know what to say to express his feelings.

Why did my father never protect himself when he was beaten by his cousins ​​when he was a kid.

Why did my father never point out that they never paid back each time they came to borrow wheat.

Why did my father often lead the cattle to the weeding and fattening of several uncles' homes, but never saw the smiling faces of the uncles.

At this moment, many questions accumulated over the years, these fathers have always been unwilling to answer questions, all have answers.

"At that time ... you couldn't walk yet, your brother was just born ..."

My father continued to tell, "Then ... then ... since the livestock was given to the steward, after being a burdock, for so many years, I have only you and your brother."

"A few of your uncles, hum, and those in the village quietly said that this was the punishment that the Lord gave me ... but I always felt that this was the blessing that the Lord gave me! When you and your brother were away, I I often tell your mother how good it is to have only two children, when I get old, or ... when I die like my father did all of a sudden ... "

"Will not……"

"Dean, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, my father doesn't know, I don't know, you don't know ..."

Raising his hand to stop his son's consolation, Alves continued: "Think about it. When I die, only you and your brother, you two can stay apart, you can stay together as a family. As a burdock, the life can still be as good as it is now ... even if you have a few more years, you have children, eat more mouths, the life may be a bit bitter, but it will definitely survive, at least ... ... at least better than your uncle's house ... "

"... This ... this ..." Speaking of this, Alves turned around unnaturally, blocked his son's sight, quietly raised his elbow and wiped his eyes: "You two brothers, you do n’t need anyone In the middle of the night I ran to deliver livestock to the master. "

Having said that, Alves didn't speak for a while, and beside him, Dean's eyes were red.

"Dean, I didn't want to tell you about these things ... but now it's different. You and your brother have a new way out ... Dean, would you like to let your brother go to the uncle's house?"

"Of course not!" Dean answered without hesitation.

"... Okay, I also know you definitely don't want it ... Master Said, as long as you go to help Akeli, no matter what happens to me in the future, your brother must be Floren's burdock ... Master Pastor also said Now, when Eklido thinks about a way, as long as you learn to control cattle, you will be given an easy job when you come back ... even if you do n’t learn it, you will be allowed to do burdock with your brother. "

"Father, of course I want to learn the skills of cattle management ... but I was only a helper in the past, and no one wants to teach the skills to the helper, unless it is an apprentice ..."

"Then you should be an apprentice!"

"Think of yourself as an apprentice ..." In the hot summer, just thinking about this thought, Dean couldn't help getting cold.

Apprentice!

How terrible is apprenticeship?

Dean clearly remembered that the cooper in the village, the old coward Boris, had accepted two apprentices.

Since the first day, the two apprentices have been living in the barn. Even in the winter, they can only ask for a few more straws, and then they shake with the animals.

In the middle of the night, I had to get up and wait for the livestock of the hoper ’s home to eat grass and drink water. After serving the animals, I had no time to take a breath. I had to get into the dark forest and listen to the wolf calling for some firewood branches and returned. It's time to lay the water and cook it, and wait until the hoop hunk is full to share the rest of the food. The next thing is that the work is not busy all day long. The moon has risen to mid-air to return to the barn. Rest.

Just get up early and get hacked, busy in the commons, in the land, in the hoop maker's house, and occasionally in his own home. After three full years, I can really start to learn a little craftsmanship.

And for the whole three years, and the days to come, apprentices don't say that they offend directly to the hoop maker. Even if the hands and feet are slightly slower when they work on weekdays, they will definitely have scars on their faces the next day.

On the last prayer day, after the church preached, another father, holding his son, asked the villagers and the pastor to testify, and it was even more impressive for Dean, remembering that:

"I, April / Ano, this is my son, Cindy / Ano. My family has a bad harvest and I can't support this son. I am willing to let him go to the plough, Duke / Eden's Four years of apprenticeship. In the past four years, all the work in the plow-handle family and all the work in the land, as long as the plow-handle said something, my son was not allowed to do it. When I was an apprentice, the plow-handle let me My son eats whatever he eats, and he fights as much as he likes. Do n’t tell me. If my son quits or runs home, I will pay two sheaves of wheat for the plow. When my apprentice is sick, if my son is sick, If it ’s dead, or it ’s dead, it has nothing to do with the ploughbar. In the sacred residence of the Lord, ask everyone to remember and ask the pastor to testify. ”

"Relax, don't be so afraid ..."

As if hearing the idea in Dean's mind, Alves comforted: "I asked the Rev. Master. The whole family of Los / Moore has only served two or three cattle. I definitely don't know what to do with herds of cattle. There are many places to take care of you, and you have to learn how to make a real burdock family from you. In addition, our pastor master will also give a message to the pastor master in the village of Akeli, and ask him to take care of you ... so that your life will not be difficult ... "

"But, even then, you must think of yourself as an apprentice, listen to everything from Los / Moore, and you must remember! Do n’t take it seriously because Los is young! Let Whatever you do, eat whatever you want! Even if you hit, you have to hold back! How much pain can a child beat you ... "

"... No, that's wrong! If he hits you, don't let him hit! I'm not afraid of you hurting, I'm afraid he hurts your hand! ... Hey ... so if he wants to hit you , You hurry to kneel yourself, put your face on his wooden shoes, and push hard! Push until he is happy! You know! "

When it comes to this, Alves' tone is extremely harsh.

Dean nodded violently, "Okay, father, I must remember!"

"Hmm ..." After looking at his son for a few times, Alves nodded with satisfaction. "Go to the village of Akeli. Do you know how to teach the art of burdock?"

"Know, when you get there, teach Loos / Moore how to take care of the herd. Loos / Moore teaches whatever he wants to learn. Tell him what he knows, and don't hide anything ..."

"No, no, don't do this ..." Jarvis slowly shook his head. "Unless Loss / Moore wants to learn by himself, you'll be your helper honestly, and don't get lost without anything. Go by--

I also asked the priest to inquire. Los also has three brothers and will have his own children in the future. You, a burdock helper in the village of Floran, will be around the person who can control the cows in the village of Akeli all day. ? Do you want to become another burdock in Acre Village? Want to grab the jobs of the Los Brothers? "

"So ... what am I supposed to do?" Dean felt his head was running out.

"It's easy to do, I want to learn the skills of Roth's cattle management ..." Alves lowered his voice unconsciously: "The solution lies in the brothers of Roth's family. When you get there, you should go to Roth less, more Go and teach his brothers to take care of the livestock. When you teach, you must tell them that you will soon return to Floran Village, you will definitely return to Floran Village, and you will certainly not steal their burdock position ... "

"At that time, if you look at which brother has less eyes, then secretly tell him a few more tips, come here a few more times, and then ask the brother a little bit about how to manage the cow. Is he still sorry to tell you?"

"Oh ..." Dean suddenly realized, and looked suspiciously at his father. For the first time, he knew that his father, who looked so embarrassing, had so much in his stomach ... what?

"Ah ... Actually ..." Alves was a little embarrassed by his son's weird gaze. "This is not the way I think ... This is the priest of our side, worried that the priest of Akeli is not happy. Los / Moore taught you how to manage the cows. I thought about it overnight and told me the next day. "

"Oh ..." Dean took it for granted.

No wonder my father wanted him to be a helper so much. It is no wonder that Arkford led the burdocks in every village to help out.

Isn't it a good thing that the master wants?

Master pastor has to spend all his energy on the craftsmanship, can he not study hard?

"Also, besides you, I heard that there will be a burdock from another village to help Los / Moore. He will eat two more bites and do whatever he wants to do. Do n’t make noise with others, do n’t Trouble the Los family-if the other burdock is good at dealing with you, you can also exchange tips with him to take care of the animals, anyway, it is a different village, and he cannot come to us as a burdock ... "

"Also, there is a younger sister and two scrambled baby boys in the Loss family. Please take care of them when you go ..."

"Also, the messenger will take you to the village of Akeli tomorrow. He will follow his instructions on the road ..."

"and also……"

What he thought of, what the supervisor reminded, what the priest suggested, and his father came one by one.

For the children, for a better future for the family of burdock.

Standing at a fork near home, standing under the big tree where my parents, myself, and children have played, as if I had forgotten that the heavy summer service the next day should continue, this night, my father said a lot .

very many.
