Chapter 37 For the sake of [prospective father-in-law]
"Tiantianhua? I haven't heard of it... Maybe you can try to clean up the gravel piles on the roadside, maybe you can find it."
Mr. Assass said thank you and left.
Except for bat guano and sweet flowers, the other materials are not too troublesome... The materials that have been found are currently put into the bag he brought out.
If you still can't find Tiantianhua in the village, you may have to look outside the village depending on the situation.
It's just that the sky is getting dark... Mr. Asaches is hesitating whether to leave the village at all.
At this time, he even thought that the search team ordered by Mr. Jacques in the morning might have returned. Should he go and inquire about the search team?
Treating Ludik and the others is important, but finding the missing Durand and Livar is equally important.
"Sir, I heard that you are looking for Tiantianhua?" A young man from the village came to Mr. Asaches at this time.
"You know?" Mr. Azashes looked a little happy.
"Well, I know where it is." The young man smiled slightly and said: "Although it is not a particularly rare thing, it still has some requirements for the growing environment. If you want to go, I can take you there.
"
"I'm really grateful." Mr. Asaches nodded.
"It's nothing." The young man said, "I heard about your heroic deeds last night, sir, so I feel very honored to be able to do something for you."
Come, come, I pushed the wooden train to rescue Mr. Jacques and the militia regardless of the danger, and the effect of increasing the favorability of Remy Village was finally achieved!
"Shall we leave now?" asked Mr. Asaches.
"Of course." The young man smiled and said: "Otherwise, I won't be able to come back before dinner, and my family will be worried. Moreover, the Burgundy cavalry has been eliminated by [Saint Joan of Arc], and now it should be outside
safe."
"Okay, let's go right away."
…
The sky is getting dark, and orange-red fire clouds have formed in the sky.
The villagers of Donremi Village are still busy - busy dealing with post-war matters.
The Burgundian cavalry was indeed wiped out, but the sword of [Saint Jeanne d'Arc] that summoned the angel did destroy a lot of houses... In addition, there were also those caused by the Burgundian cavalry when they rushed into the village.
of destruction.
The villagers have been busy all day, and they have only cleaned up a small part of the area. As for reconstruction, it will take longer.
"Take a break."
A villager put down his tools, wiped his sweat, and then sat down next to a dry well.
At this time, the companion also put down his tools, took out his water bag, and prepared to rest.
The two chatted casually.
"Speaking of which, when did this well dry up?"
"It's been about ten years, right? Maybe longer?"
At this time, the companion suddenly stood up, bent down and looked at the dry well, and said with a smile: "Do you think someone accidentally threw their wallet inside?"
Another companion rolled his eyes and said: "If you can dig out something, then it must be the treasure buried by my grandma's grandma?"
"Huh? It seems like there's really something down there!"
"Is there something?"
The two of them bent down together and carefully observed the bottom of the dry well - but the light had dimmed at this time, not to mention that there was nothing visible at the bottom of the dark dry well.
"Are you too tired and your eyes are dazzled?"
"Maybe..." The companion was not sure.
He just saw a flash of orange-red light, but when he looked carefully, he could see nothing, and he couldn't help but feel doubtful.
"Forget it, stop looking, let's go and dig for treasures at your house." The companion said with a smile: "I don't know if your grandma's grandma buried the treasures, but I know that you must have hidden it from your mother-in-law.
Your baby is drunk."
They turned around and were about to pack up their tools and leave when suddenly a pair of arms stretched out from the dry well.
The two of them did not react and were instantly dragged into the dry well.
…
…
…
…
The old doctor was pounding some leaves in the room, slowly.
Clary was dozing out of boredom.
Boss Azashes went out to look for medicine, and she was left to take care of Principal Ludick and his male assistant.
Clary felt that she had been particularly sleepy since last night.
She even fell asleep without realizing it last night, and she didn't even wake up from something as big as the village being attacked by Burgundian cavalry.
Maybe it’s just because I’m too tired... Mainly because I feel so tired?
At this moment, the old doctor came to Clary's side holding a small bowl, "I see that you are not in good spirits. This is the medicinal soup I just made, which can relieve physical fatigue."
The maid couldn't help blinking her eyes at this moment - she looked at the green liquid in the small bowl, and instantly felt a bitter taste starting to come out of her mouth.
"Drink it, it's very effective. Everyone in the village drinks this."
The maid lady didn't know what to do.
This feeling is like the elders in the family bringing a bowl of folk remedies from who knows where, then looking at you with kind eyes and full of hope and saying: Drink, kid, I have been suffering for a long time...
Since this doctor has been practicing medicine for so long and it was Mr. Jacques who hired him... there should be no problem, right?
Unable to resist the old doctor's kind gaze, Clary had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink the medicinal soup - she didn't know whether this thing could relieve fatigue, but the simple bitter taste was enough to cheer her up.
She instantly brightened up, stuck out her tongue and said, "I feel like I've woken up!"
"That's good." The old doctor smiled slightly, then sat back and continued to pound other medicines.
The sound of pounding the pestle sounded rhythmically. As the maid listened, her eyelids gradually became a little heavy... She seemed to suddenly be unable to open her eyes.
Boom——!
Clary suddenly fell to the floor.
The old doctor smiled slightly and said: "In fact, the best way to eliminate fatigue is to have a good sleep and then wake up."
The door of the room was slightly opened at this time, and standing outside the door was Mr. Jacques.
There was no unnecessary expression on his face. He held the door handle but did not open the door completely. He just looked in without saying a word.
The old doctor looked up.
The door then closed.
…
…
The stairs must be in a state of disrepair... Even the floor in the corridor will make a slight squeaking sound when walking.
At the end of the corridor, Mr. Jacques was leaning next to the window at the end... When he heard the sound, he turned around.
The maid lady was holding a plate in both hands and walked slowly over.
It was agreed between them that the treatment of Lady Isabel would begin before dinner - but at the same time the treatment needed to be kept confidential.
The reason given by Mr. Jacques is that he does not want to have too high hopes, but only wants to receive the results calmly, no matter good or bad - this sounds like a very good reason.
"Ready, Miss Youye." Mr. Jacques looked at the plate... and found that there weren't many things on it. "Is it enough to just use these things?"
The maid smiled at this time and said: "Diseases have tortured mankind for countless years, and during these countless years, mankind has also found a lot of ways to eliminate these diseases. In the years when the two sides have been fighting each other, we will find that in fact, as long as we master
Pathology, after finding the best treatment method, the disease that once made people despair is actually an ordinary enemy that can be easily defeated."
"You gave me confidence." Mr. Jacques breathed out slowly.
He unlocked the door to the room... Apart from him, no other person in this house would have the key to open the door.
"By the way, didn't you tell Luo that you were coming over?" Mr. Jacques asked casually.
"I want to give my master a surprise." The maid looked quite casual, "My master prefers surprises and the unknown."
"You know him very well?" Mr. Jacques said, "You have been following him for a long time."
The maid said: "I will always follow the master."
Seems to be different answers and questions.
Mr. Jacques took a serious look at the maid, nodded silently, and then opened the door to the room - it was approaching dinner time, the sun had set, and the room seemed unusually dark.
The curtains were not opened here, and there was not even a flow of air... The curtains and bed curtains were shaking slightly at this time, still due to the change in airflow caused by opening the door.
But vaguely, one could still see a figure sitting on the bed tent.
Mr. Jacques closed the door to the room immediately after the maid entered the room... The maid didn't seem to care, holding the plate in her hand and walking to the table beside her, putting the things down.
She put her hands on her lower abdomen, bent down slightly and said, "Mr. Jacques, maybe you need to avoid it."
Mr. Jacques asked curiously: "Why do I need to avoid it? Isabel and I are husband and wife, and there is no need for any avoidance."
The maid didn't say anything.
She took out various things from the plate and seemed to be mixing some medicinal powder or something like that, then mixed it into the water and stirred it gently.
Monsieur Jacques looked on silently.
After a while, the maid lady walked to the edge of the bed with the bowl in her hand... She looked back at Mr. Jacques, and when he saw Mr. Jacques nodded, she opened the bed curtain and looked in.
There is indeed a person sitting in the bed tent... She is wearing gorgeous clothes, and all the workmanship is of the best.
The maid looked at the woman on the bed - the woman also looked at her unblinkingly.
The reason why the woman's eyes don't move is... this is a completely dried corpse!
At the same time, a black shadow appeared behind the maid lady - and then, a heavy blow hit the back of the maid lady's head.
Bang-dang——!
The small bowl containing the potion fell to the ground.
The maid lady also arrived at the edge of the bed at the same time.
I only heard Mr. Jacques whisper: "I'm sorry to disturb you, Isabel..."
Mr. Jacques leaned down and lifted up the maid who had fallen on the ground... He helped her sit on a chair nearby, and finally opened her lips and poured some strange powder into them.
After doing all this, Mr. Jacques began to wait quietly.
He waited until the servant came to the door, knocked on the door and said that dinner was ready.
…
…
Ding--!
Spoon, tap gently on the cup.
The food on the dinner table is extremely rich...this is the food that girls like.
Then there were not many people at the dinner table.
Apart from Mr. Jacques and Miss Jeanne, who are the hosts, there is only one foreigner guest in Luoqiu at this time.
"Why are you the only one?" The girl couldn't help but frowned.
Boss Luo said casually: "Miss Nan has already said before that she wants to return to the mansion to pick up some things... I think it may be dark and she cannot walk through the forest alone. Maybe she will come back tomorrow. As for Asaches
Sir, he went out to find some medicinal materials that the doctor needs, and I think he will be back later."
"Then... where is your maid?" The girl blinked and said, "By the way, so is Miss Cleary."
"Miss Clary was taking care of her companion. She seemed to be tired and fell asleep, so I didn't disturb her..." Mr. Jacques said at this time: "As for Miss Youye, she is currently treating your mother."
"What?!" The girl's eyes widened in disbelief, and she even stood up, "Why didn't anyone tell me about such a big thing?!"
"I hope what you can hear is a definite good news." Mr. Jacques said softly: "I'm not sure whether the treatment will work, so I don't want to tell you in advance... But now it seems that the miracle is not only blessing you.
, and at the same time, I am also taking care of your mother."
"Father! What do you mean..." The girl's eyes gradually changed... and became ecstatic.
"Yes." Mr. Jacques said with a smile: "The treatment went quite smoothly. It is said that this disease can be completely cured in Miss Youye's hometown. Although she is not a doctor, she knows how to treat it... Perhaps, after waiting
In a few days, you will be able to meet and interact with you now."
"I can't wait, I want to see my mother now!" The girl suddenly left her seat.
Mr. Jacques said: "It is not suitable for your mother to contact anyone now. Jeanne, please sit down first."
"Why?"
"This is the most important link in the treatment, and it is also the last link." Mr. Jacques said: "If you want to say why, I also want to know... But, for the sake of Isabel's upcoming recovery, I will
Be patient with you, my child.”
The girl bit her tongue and said, "So, can I talk to my mother after dinner... I mean, as usual, I can do it through the door of the room!"
"Of course." Mr. Jacques said softly, "I will be with you."
"Great!" The girl smiled and seemed impatient.
She felt everything was getting better.
"This is going to be a wonderful evening, everyone." Mr. Jacques tapped the cup gently with his spoon again, and then raised the cup: "Let us have a drink together for this wonderful evening... Let's
Na, don’t you plan to propose a toast to the brave Luo?”
The girl lowered her head and muttered something, but she still lifted the cup obediently and drank it without saying anything... absently.
"Don't worry, this child is more willful." Mr. Jacques looked at Luo Qiu apologetically, "I hope you can tolerate her more... As I said, don't worry, if you take care of her more, you will be pleasantly surprised.
.”
"Father!" The girl lowered her voice and shouted dissatisfied.
Mr. Jacques suddenly laughed heartily, "Why don't we enjoy these delicacies now?"
As he said this, Mr. Jacques cut a piece of roasted chicken with his own hands and put it on Boss Luo's plate, saying that this was a traditional method in Donremi Village and could not be found elsewhere.
Boss Luo took a few bites and felt that it tasted really good.
"master!"
It was the voice of Bertrand, the long-term worker in Mr. Jacques's house... This young man was standing outside the door at this time.
"You continue." Mr. Jacques stood up and left his seat. "Bertrand should be reporting to me about the work on the farm. This is also his daily job. I will be back soon."
The girl didn't pay attention...it was obvious that Bertrand did this work every day.
Unconsciously, only the girl and Boss Luo were left at the dining table... The girl looked at Luo Qiu and asked softly: "Treat my mother...is that what you want?"
There was even a twinkle in her eyes.
Boss Luo shook his head and said: "I have no similar request, and I don't even know about it."
The girl couldn't help but be startled and said subconsciously: "So... it was your maid's idea? She... why did she do this?"
Boss Luo smiled and said: "Maybe she wants to have a better relationship with you, Miss Jeanne.
——Is it convenient to serve you together?
The girl suddenly came up with such an idea.
But then she quickly lowered her head and pretended to enjoy the food to cover up her thoughts at this time, "This grilled fish also tastes very good. My father likes to use the dead branches and leaves of rose flowers to bake it, so it will have a special flavor."
You should also taste the fragrance."
After thinking about it, the girl took the initiative, cut a piece of grilled fish with a knife and fork, stood up, and wanted to deliver it to Boss Luo's plate... But just as she stood up, she suddenly sat down again
.
"Is something wrong?" Boss Luo asked.
"I don't know..." the girl shook her head, "I feel a little tired... and a little sleepy. I'm usually very energetic at this time, but I don't know why today..."
The sound faded, and the girl unconsciously yawned, then lay down on the table, and fell asleep hazily.
"It tastes like grilled fish...it really does look like it."
At this time, Boss Luo wiped his lips with a napkin, then picked up the cup, and slowly loosened his fingers... The cup instantly fell to the ground.
broken.
"Then, for the sake of [prospective father-in-law], I will also..."
…
A few seconds after the sound of the cup breaking, Mr. Jacques led Bertrand into the dining room.
He looked at his daughter who was sleeping on the table, and then at the young man who was leaning on the chair with his head lowered. He nodded slowly and said softly: "Bertrand, what happens next is...
