The small town widow is thin and small, and her face is fairer than that of ordinary women, but she is already a beauty in the eyes of the townspeople. She is in her twenties and has two young children. When she sees Zhou Qingfeng, she immediately falls in love with her.
Kneel down and dare not make a sound.
Riding a war horse, being tall, carrying weapons, and servants, this showed Zhou Qingfeng's identity. When people in the town saw his appearance, they either retreated to both sides of the road, or nodded and bowed to please him.
This is an unbridgeable gap between nobles and commoners. Anyone who dares to cross will suffer painful punishment. Zhou Qingfeng is neither happy nor resisting this. Looking at his master's expression, Rubio can't tell whether he likes it or dislikes it.
like.
"Get up, we want to find a place to live, and we will pay for it." Zhou Qingfeng walked into the unfamiliar house and looked around casually. Rubio brought the horses and mules in and ordered the widow to prepare dinner and ask for the best.
The widow was timid and did not resist at all. She obediently gave up her house to provide services to the foreign master. She also pushed the two frightened children into the woodshed and locked them deliberately to prevent them from coming out.
Rubio followed him into the kitchen and stared at the widow as she took out the best ingredients in the house. Adrian checked the front and back of the house, and finally said with satisfaction: "This place is much better than the pub."
"It's much better." Zhou Qingfeng said casually, "Do all the nobles who come to this town live here?"
"Probably." Adrian said with a playful smile, "Basically every village or town has one or two families like this. Usually the head of the household has a pretty wife and daughter. When the noble master moves in, they have to sleep with him.
"
Zhou Qingfeng's face sank, and his mood suddenly deteriorated.
Dinner consisted of a basket of toasted bread and a plate of fried bacon. An oil lamp was placed on the shabby dining table to provide some light.
Rubio came to treat Zhou Qingfeng to a meal, and specially wiped the table and chairs with his clothes. It was the first time for him to travel with the host, so he was extra attentive. But there was only one chair in front of the dining table, not to mention the widow and her family who were cooking.
Rubio could only watch first.
"What the hell." Zhou Qingfeng sat down. The chair creaked, which made people feel even worse. He thought about it, grabbed a piece of black bread and stuffed it into his mouth, but he felt it was dry and hard to swallow. "This is for people to eat.
?How many people in the town can eat it?"
Rubio whispered from behind: "Master, be patient, a small place like this is naturally not as good as the Harmony Village you rule. I make sure that the widow is not hiding anything, but she can only supply these things. Bigger cities can
There are better ones.”
Zhou Qingfeng ate half of the bread and put it in his mouth. The rough bread crumbs cut his throat and he couldn't swallow it. He could only give up the experience of poor people's food and asked again: "Is there no hot water?"
Harmony Village has dedicated personnel to heat and supply hot water. This is a great benefit in the village, but it is not so convenient when traveling. Rubio was stunned and quickly turned to the kitchen, "I will ask the widow to heat hot water right away."
"Heat the hot water and let the widow and her child come out together. No need to hide, let's have dinner together." Zhou Qingfeng shouted. He opened the space-time door himself and brought 20 kilograms of food and drink from the real world.
supply.
Rubio was very hesitant and hesitated: "I'm afraid the widow doesn't dare to come."
"Why? Am I terrible?" Zhou Qingfeng said coldly: "If you ask her to come, just say that I have something to ask. If she doesn't come, I will be unhappy."
Rubio went to the kitchen and came back with a clay pot filled with hot water. The widow hid behind Rubio's shadow and did not dare to show her head. When Zhou Qingfeng saw her, she asked: "Where are the two children?
"
The widow's face immediately showed a look of horror, and she kept waving her hands and shaking her head, as if she was begging for something.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't understand why she was so scared but couldn't force her. He just grabbed the basket of food and handed it out, "Feed your children first, they should be hungry long ago. I'm not a bad person, you don't have to be so afraid of me."
In the basket were meat buns, with thin skin and big fillings, and they were still steaming hot. Rubio was drooling as he watched. He knew that his master often brought some very good food. White flour, refined meat, salt, these are all common in other worlds.
Noble food.
The widow stared, not daring to move. Seeing that the master kept stretching out his hand, he hesitated for a long time before grabbing a meat bun. Zhou Qingfeng shook the basket and ordered angrily: "Catch more, I don't want to play the role of a bully."
The widow grabbed another one and didn't dare to take any more. In the end, Rubio couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed several buns and forced them into the widow's hands... As a result, the widow knelt down again and returned
Thinking that I have done something wrong and should be punished.
Oh my God!
Reality dealt a heavy blow to Zhou Qingfeng. He wanted to get angry but didn't know who to direct his anger at. He was not a calm character, and at this moment he wanted to curse, but who could he curse? He said in a deep voice again: "Let's eat dinner together."
Rubio was also embarrassed and reminded in a low voice: "Master, she is a commoner and a woman. She is not qualified to talk to you, let alone eat with you. Even I have to wait until you finish eating before I can eat any leftovers.
Down."
"When I finish eating, you are still eating shit!" Zhou Qingfeng was really angry, "What the hell is this world? There are more rules than in the Black Forest."
In the Black Forest, the jungle is strong and the weak are the losers who can't survive outside. No one is nobler than anyone else. As long as you are strong enough, it doesn't matter. No one will blame you. But you can leave the Black Forest and enter any town...
....
Zhou Qingfeng felt a heavy shackle put on everyone's neck, even on his neck, so that he couldn't breathe. He had to shout evilly: "I give the order now, eat. You guys
Don’t you understand?”
Realizing that Zhou Qingfeng was really angry, Adrian quickly went to the woodshed and took out the two children. He also moved a chair and pushed the widow's family to the dining table. He and Rubio also sat down at the table.
....
Then everyone looked at Zhou Qingfeng with big eyes and small eyes.
"Eat." Zhou Qingfeng shouted angrily: "Obey the orders and follow the instructions, and eat everything for me. If you don't eat, the meal will be cold."
There are rice and vegetables on the table, which are fragrant and very rich.
Adrian immediately started eating, and even invited the widow's family to eat. Rubio didn't hesitate for too long, and silently grabbed a bun. Only the widow's family didn't know what was going on, and she didn't do anything until the two children screamed in a low voice when they were hungry for food.
.
It was such a dull meal. Zhou Qingfeng usually had a huge appetite, but tonight he couldn't eat anything after half-full meal. As soon as he stopped, others stopped too. When he glared, they forced the people at the table to eat all the food.
Eat them all.
The entire dinner was silent, and the widow was even more nervous. Zhou Qingfeng originally wanted to ask about the living conditions in the town, but now he lost interest. He felt very blocked.
Staying overnight, the widow took her two children to the woodshed and gave up the master bedroom to Zhou Qingfeng. Adrian guarded the door. Rubio set up a wooden board in the dining room. Before going to bed, he came to ask again, "Master,
Do you need the widow to come to bed with you?"
Zhou Qingfeng sat on the edge of the bed with a sullen face, not knowing what he was thinking, and only shook his head slightly.
Rubio waited for a while and then said coquettishly: "Master, can I go find the widow?"
Zhou Qingfeng felt a little angry, but it was quickly overwhelmed by the great sadness. He asked back: "Will you give me money?"
"Give me a little bit. This kind of woman makes a living by doing some flesh business." Rubio hesitated: "This is the rule in this small town."
Zhou Qingfeng took out a gold coin from his pocket and flicked it to Rubio, "I'll pay you. Don't mess with others."
Rubio took the gold coin and looked down, "Master, this is a bit too much, at most one silver coin is enough. Other nobles passing by may not even give a copper coin, so they eat for free."
Zhou Qingfeng was silent and his eyes were sharp.
Rubio quickly replied: "Of course, sir, you are different from other nobles." After saying that, he turned away and ran away.
Nothing happened all night, and we were on the road the next day.
Zhou Qingfeng got on his horse with a heavy heart and was about to leave the town. He turned back to the widow and her family who were walking out the door and said, "My name is Victor Hugo, and I'm really not a bad person."
Rubio also winked at the widow and whispered to Zhou Qingfeng: "The widow's eyes sparkled when she saw the gold coins you gave her. You are so generous."
"Generous? I'm not generous at all." Zhou Qingfeng suddenly turned his head, looked at the gloomy sky in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "I have my ideals and ambitions, and I don't want to fight but live a life I hate."
