36 Fierce

After listening to his father's description, Wu Qingchen blurted out his first reaction: "Since that's the case, go find the cowherd."

How could it be that I didn't look for it?

Seeing the cow's injury, Old William immediately quickly found Idra and Grace, and the three of them went around to inquire.

After learning from the villagers that all the signs were pointed at the cowherd, the father and son ran to the direction of the cowherd's house without any hesitation.

Along the way, three people, who were in a hurry and restless, saw from both sides of the village road, that the land of the cowherd's house had indeed been basically overturned. Moreover, as soon as they reached the door of the cowherd's house, Idra saw a large stall of straw ropes from the corner of the wooden house. The two bundles of these straw ropes also brought many blood stains that were not completely dried up.

This is simply no need to ask!

The three of them rushed into the wooden house immediately, but in the face of old William's angry and excited questioning, the cowherd, who had been prepared, seemed very calm and did not admit that the cow's injury was related to him at all.

As for the bloody ropes pointed out by Idra, and his miraculously plowing all the land in half a day, the cowherd said that this had nothing to do with Old William, and even had no interest in making up explanations.

"Then what?"

Then... Old William and the other two returned home.

"this……"

Such a serious injury and such obvious evidence would be too amazing to get such a result...

Wu Qingchen's brows frowned deeply, "This...this is too...it's over if you don't admit it? Is there no way to be unreasonable?"

way?

After listening to Wu Qingchen's words, Idra's face turned red.

When they were still at the cowherd's house, after arguing for half an hour, the cowherd pushed William and his son into the door on the excuse of having dinner. Idra's blood surged upwards and rushed up instantly, preparing to use his tightly pinched fist, and the straw ropes he picked up next to him, and had a deep "reasoning" with the cowherd.

However, like the previous few impulses, Idra's actions were once again stopped by Old William.

This is helplessness and reality.

From the villagers and the handlebar, Old William actually understood that he had no choice but to do anything about this matter.

He was so angry that Old William still led his sons to the cowherd, and the final result was actually as expected by Old William.

I could not see the anger of the old William and the other two. I spoke directly and denied that the cow's injury was related to him, and I was too lazy to fabricate and explain the evidence Idra had found. All this was because the cowherd was fearless about all this.

The cowherd does have this fearless qualification.

The one who has the most power in Akerry Village is of course the owner of the entire village, the owner of everything that can be seen with the naked eye, John/Barl Arkford, Lord Lord.

However, this noble lord, who is above the top, has no direct connection with the villagers' lives. Most of the time, he lives in a solid castle that is also above the top. He uses thick stones and vigilant guards to block all look up, worship, curiosity, peeping, coveting, etc.... Whether it is good or malicious, gaze.

Of course, it is hard to see the lord. If the villagers of Akerlie are lucky and have good fortune, they can still see the agricultural officials, the forest officials who lead several servants to patrol back and forth, and are directly appointed by the Baron Master.

As for the masters that villagers can really come into contact with in their daily lives, there are only two giants in Akerley’s village, the Everett/Ferre who is in charge of village affairs, as well as the leader of village religion, John/Playa/Akford.

These two, one is recommended by the castle manager, recognized by the lord, and the other is a relative of the baron. They are both well-deserved masters and the top floor of the village food chain.

Below these two people, in the village of Akerley, the police officer Espier, who is responsible for public security, the head of the Zhuangtou O'Connor, who is responsible for organizing laborers, the rare clerk Thor who can keep accounts and write books, and the future pastor Andre, who are also well-known and respected by all the villagers.

Most of the remaining ones are farmers like William, Richard, and Freeman who barely fill their stomachs, who live a tired farm life, and have almost no future or hope in life, and have a lower status. Due to crime or prisoners, they work from dawn to darkness, from changing their identities to death, but they never cover up their clothes and eat without clear permission. One step out of the village is a slave to the devastating disaster.

Among the free farmers in the village, there is a small rank, namely the person in charge of specific affairs such as wine tasters, letter senders, plow handles, handlebars, bakers, grinders, swineherds, cowherds, etc.

Whether it is a taster or a sender, it can be seen from these titles that these villagers have their own abilities. In addition to taking good care of their own place on weekdays, they can also obtain additional benefits with their own skills.

Obviously, compared with Wu Qingchen's family, the family background of the cowherd's family is significantly better.

You only need to look at the cowherd's house. Most of the land is concentrated on both sides of their own houses and roads. The land was basically completed in just half a day. If it were Wu Qingchen's house or other ordinary villagers, the land they own was scattered in all directions of the village. It was wasted countless time just by rushing on the road every day. Even if you give twice the cattle, horses and livestock, you would not have to spend three or five days to complete the same amount of work.

----Of course, in front of Wu Qingchen from Earth, the indigenous people of the Middle Ages, even kings, were not worthy of mentioning their "family background".

Old William's concerns are not the reason for this.

The Middle Ages lack of fertilizer, and no matter the rotten straw, the mud in the rivers on the edge of forests, and the burning ash of plants and trees, they are not as good as the manure produced by livestock.

Of course, the most important resources are preferred by the master - cough, use - so, in the medieval world, except when villagers need to use animal power, large animals such as cows and horses must be handed over to the cowherds, and receive unified care. They are arranged to go to the common where the master takes a long time to eat grass and glance, so as to avoid the cows and horses from eating crops, and at the same time, the livestock manure is naturally put into the master's mouth - cough, common.

In this case, even if the livestock is stolen, even if the cow is injured, even if he suffers a lot of grievances, facing the cowherd who controls his own cows almost every day, Old William still has to swallow his anger.

"What should I do now?"

After hearing the parents and brothers talked, mixed with anger and excitement, sighs and explanations of sobs and infarctions. Gradually, Wu Qingchen's mind was depressed and sighed silently.

what to do……

At a loss, he was sad and misty, gently stroked both sides of the cow's wound, Old William's eyes were red and his arms trembled slightly. In the medieval world, if a family had two pillars, one of which was an adult man in the family, the other must be a large livestock, the two had almost the same status, and they even lived in the same wooden house together.

And now, a pillar has been damaged.

well……

Next to the cow who was shaking his tail restlessly and gasping heavily, the old William was more sad, and Idra was even more angry. Grace clenched his fist tightly and stood in the corner. The tears on his faces of his mother Jacquelin and his sister Little Nina became clearer.

Listening to the cow's soft mooing from time to time, the crying of the youngest brother and sister on the wooden house, Wu Qingchen sighed heavily.

"What to do now...what...what do?"

My mother Jacquelin was crying and sobbing, and almost every syllable showed a strong sense of misfortune and sadness: "...The cow was injured... no matter what... no matter what, I would have to rest for more than ten days... I will have to plow tomorrow... I will definitely not be able to drag the plow again... We still have to... and we have to... and take the summer service... What should I do now?"

what to do?

Old William's eyes froze, Idra pushed his waist hard, and the veins from Grace's arm burst out.

At the same time, the three men's six eyes shot out fierce light at the same time.
