"Boss, you drink water." Lu Qi poured Lin Fei a glass of boiled water and placed it in front of him.
The weather outside is so hot. After standing in the sun for a while, I feel really thirsty.
"Thank you." Lin Fei nodded and smiled, picked up the water glass and took a sip of water.
Lu Qi hugged the round plate to her chest and looked at Lin Fei with bright eyes. Lin Fei, who was drinking water, raised his head and looked at her and asked, "What? Do you have something to say?"
"Boss, you were so powerful just now. That person had no power to fight back in front of you," Lu Qi said with excitement on her face.
"It's not bad! The main reason is that that person is too weak. It wouldn't be so easy to deal with someone else who is stronger." Lin Fei said modestly.
"Really? I think that person doesn't look weak. The scene just now was so scary." Lu Qi, who had never seen a practitioner fight before, muttered in doubt.
While Lin Fei and Lu Qi were chatting, dense footsteps came from outside the hall.
The old housekeeper Cha Tu walked into the hall first, followed by Zhang Qiu and a tall elf girl with bruises on her exposed arms.
"Boss, we found the slave the Nan family next door was looking for." Zhang Qiu pointed at the injured elf girl and said.
In the elf world, a society with a feudal system, there are often two types of servants in the homes of rich and powerful people.
One type is servants. They have an employment contract and have an employment relationship with their masters. Although the masters sometimes beat and scold their servants, they dare not take away the lives of their servants at will, as they will be punished by the laws of the kingdom.
The other type is slaves. They have signed a contract of sale and are slaves of their masters. Their lives are not protected by the laws of the kingdom, and their masters can do whatever they want with them without any punishment.
The injured elf girl in front of him was a slave, so it was not surprising for Lin Fei to see her like this.
Under the gaze of everyone present, the injured elf girl's body continued to tremble.
Luci, who was already relatively timid, saw blood oozing out from some parts of the injured arm of this Elf girl. She couldn't bear it and wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
After all, she is just a servant. Her master hasn’t said anything yet, so who should she do? Alas...
Lin Fei heard Lu Qi's sigh. He turned his head and looked at his maid, and saw that she was staring at the other person's arm, her eyes full of sympathy.
He thought for a while, then stood up and walked to the injured elf girl.
"Spare your life, Master. I was wrong. I shouldn't have run into your manor to hide." The injured elf girl knelt down with a plop, kowtowing to Lin Fei and begging for mercy.
Lin Fei originally wanted to help the injured elf girl heal her injuries, but was confused by the other party's sudden action.
Whether it was the Earth in his previous life or the current Blue Star, Lin Fei lived in an era that advocated equality for all. How could there be slaves kneeling down to others and shouting for mercy?
This kind of thing that only appeared in TV dramas actually happened in front of him, and the person being kneeled was himself. This really made Lin Fei a little bit at a loss.
"Get up quickly, don't kneel down, I won't do anything to you." Lin Fei said to the injured elf girl.
Unfortunately, his words had no effect. The injured elf girl lay on the ground but did not dare to get up.
"Oh... is this serious? Do I look evil?" Lin Fei said helplessly.
"The boss is a good person." Luci on the side responded to Lin Fei's words in a low voice.
Lin Fei turned his head and glanced at Luci, then he squatted down in front of the injured elf girl who was lying on the ground shivering, and stretched out his hand to put on her shoulders.
"Master, please spare my life..."
The moment Lin Fei's hand touched the opponent's shoulder, the injured elf girl's body shook even more violently.
The light of life ability was activated, and Lin Fei's palms glowed with warm white light.
The white light spread along the shoulders of the injured elf girl, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped her whole body.
The trembling elf girl's body gradually calmed down and stopped trembling.
"I finally became honest." Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party had become quiet.
At this moment, the injured elf girl felt that her body was wrapped in a warmth she had never felt before, and the parts of her body that were always painful no longer hurt.
Because the injured elf girl's injuries were all superficial injuries, Lin Fei used the light of life ability to treat her, and it only took a few seconds to heal her.
Putting away his powers, Lin Fei stood up and said, "Okay, I've healed your injuries. Get up and talk! I don't like others kneeling."
The old housekeeper Cha Tu and Lu Qi looked shocked as they looked at the injured elf girl who had been treated by Lin Fei.
They did not expect that in addition to the various supernatural powers he had used before, Lin Fei could also treat others. However, when they thought about it the next second, they remembered that Lin Fei had cured the princess's illness. It was not surprising that he knew the treatment methods.
It can only be said that Lin Fei's healing power was so effective that they were so shocked that they didn't react for a while. However, Zhang Qiu, who had seen Lin Fei use the light of life power with his own eyes, seemed very calm.
Although Lin Fei called the Elf girl to stand up in a very gentle tone, he obviously underestimated the inner cowardice of the Elf girl. Seeing this situation, Lin Fei had to turn his head to look at Luci and motion for her to help her.
stand up.
After receiving the signal from Lin Fei's eyes, Luci nodded, immediately came to the girl's side, stretched out her hand to pull her, and said at the same time, "Get up quickly! Our boss is very nice, don't be afraid."
Under Lu Qi's persuasion, the girl stood up. Lin Fei returned to his seat and sat down. Looking at the girl with a dusty face and a little dirty body, he asked, "Tell me about your situation."
What a situation! Why are you running away?
As far as I know, if you are sold into slavery and run away without authorization, if you are caught by your master, the consequences will be very serious, and you may lose your life."
After hesitating for a while, the elf girl said, "I...I accidentally broke the housekeeper's things. I was punished by the housekeeper in the following days. If I don't run away, I will be punished by the housekeeper."
Beaten to death..."
What happened was very simple and did not exceed Lin Fei's expectations. After listening to the elf girl's story, Lin Fei did not speak and became silent.
Old Butler Cha Tu must have seen this kind of thing a lot, so when the elf girl told the reason for the incident, the expression on his face did not change at all.
On the other hand, people like Zhang Qiu and Lu Qi, who came from poor families, felt very sympathetic towards this elf girl.
Especially Luci, who is very timid. When she heard this Elf girl say how many times she had to be beaten a day, her eyes filled with tears. If it hadn't been for the occasion, she might have burst into tears.
Already.
"Tea Butler, what do you think should be done next?" Lin Fei did not express his opinion immediately. He picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, then asked the old butler Cha Tu.
"Boss, every slave is registered with the government. They are the private property of the master. If we keep her, it is equivalent to robbing other people's finances.
If people from the Nan family find out and they go to the government to sue us, then we will not only have to hand him back to the other party, but we will also have to pay a large sum of money." said the old housekeeper Cha Tu.
The old housekeeper Cha Tu said it very directly, and Lin Fei understood after listening to it. He was suggesting that he return the elf girl to him.
Zhang Qiu and Lu Qi also understood the meaning of the old housekeeper Cha Tu's words. They both looked at Lin Fei, and Lin Fei saw their sympathy for the elf girl in their eyes.
"Dong, dong, dong..."
Lin Fei's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and the hall was quiet. The future of this elf girl was now entirely in his hands.
"I had a fight with that man today. He was so humiliated by me. If I hand this Elf girl back to him, I don't need to think about it to know that this Elf girl will definitely end up very miserable."
Lin Fei thought for a moment, and then said, "Luci, take her to get cleaned up. From now on, she will work in our house. If she doesn't understand anything, you can teach her."
"It's the boss." When Lu Qi heard what Lin Fei said, she felt at ease, with a happy smile on her face, and Zhang Qiu on the side also laughed.
The old housekeeper Chatu had just made it clear to Lin Fei that if he did not return the elf girl to the neighbor next door, he might encounter trouble in the future. After hearing Lin Fei's decision, he looked at Lin Fei with eyes full of
admiration.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." After hearing that Lin Fei decided to take her in, the Elf girl quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Fei.
But this time she only kowtowed twice when she realized that she couldn't kowtow anymore. It was as if someone was holding her head down, preventing her from kowtowing any more.
"In my home, don't kneel down and kowtow. Also, just call me boss. Don't call me master. I don't like the title master." After Lin Fei said seriously, he withdrew his pressure on the other person's forehead.
The power of thought.
Luci on the side saw that Lin Fei was a little unhappy, and quickly pulled up the Elf girl who was kneeling on the ground.
"Okay, Luci, take her to take a bath quickly!" Lin Fei waved his hand and Luci nodded, and then left the hall with the grateful Elf girl.
Seeing that the matter was over, Zhang Qiu also resigned to Lin Fei and continued to patrol the manor. When only Lin Fei and the old housekeeper were left in the living room having tea, the old housekeeper who had been in charge of the royal manor for many years spoke.
"Boss, now that we are taking this girl in, we need to think of a way to deal with it being discovered! Otherwise, when the Nan family discovers it, we will be very passive if we don't have a way to deal with it."
Lin Fei picked up the water cup and drank all the water in the cup. After putting down the cup, he said confidently, "This matter is easy to handle, tea steward, don't worry, I will take care of it."
Seeing that Lin Fei was confident, Cha Tu nodded and said nothing more.
…………
In the Nan family manor next to Lin Fei, the injured Nansen was carried home by his servants. His mother burst into tears when she saw her youngest son was injured.
"Son! Why did you get hurt all over your body! Weren't you in good health when you went out? Who is it? Who did it so hard! Wuwu..."
"Mom, please stop crying. It's just a minor injury. It's okay." Nansen was upset by his mother's cries and couldn't lose his temper, so he could only persuade her patiently.
"Is this what you are doing, or is it just a minor injury? Look at all the blisters, oooh..." Nansen's mother cried even harder.
"Oops! These are just minor injuries. The injuries I suffered when I was fighting bandits at the border were much more serious than this. Stop crying and have someone help me get some medicine." Nansen was helpless.
said.
While shedding tears, Nansen's mother ordered her servants to get the medicine for the wound. After a while, she took the ointment from the servant who hurried over with the medicine and wiped it on her little son herself.
"Son! What the hell is going on? How could a good person come back with such a serious burn after going out? Please tell me about it."
When Nansen thought that he had no power to fight back at Lin Fei's hands and was being teased around, how could Nansen tell his mother about this huge humiliation?
Seeing that her youngest son was silent, Nansen's mother turned to the servants waiting on the side and asked, "You have been following the second young master. Now that something big has happened to him, you are still intact. Who's here?"
Drag him down and give him thirty sticks.
"Spare your life, Madam, please spare your life!" When the servants heard that they were going to be beaten with a cane 30 times, their legs became weak from fear, and they knelt down and begged for mercy, crying.
"Drag it down."
"Madam, please spare my life!"
Nansen, who was mobilizing his spiritual energy to absorb the wound medicine, saw his personal servants being dragged away crying, he said, "Mom, my skills are inferior to others this time, it has nothing to do with them."
Seeing her youngest son speaking, Nansen's mother raised her hand to signal her servants to let go of Nansen's personal servants, and then asked, "Did that boy from the Shan family hurt you?"
"It's not him. It has nothing to do with him. With his strength, if he wants to hurt me like this, he is not qualified!" Nansen said disdainfully.
"Then who else is there? Apart from him, no one else of your age can hurt you. Could it be that it was the old guys from the older generation who did this to you?
This is too much! When your father comes back, I will have a good talk with him and let him seek justice for you." Nansen's mother said angrily.
"It's the black-haired neighbor next door to us who just moved here not long ago," Nansen said.
"He? The doctor who cured Her Royal Highness the princess' strange disease, how could he be so powerful?" Nansen's mother was stunned for a moment.
Afterwards, under her questioning, Nansen told his mother what happened today in detail. After listening to his youngest son's story, Nansen's mother became silent, which made Nansen a little strange.
