Chapter 192 Fish, What a Big Fish

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the ground, Pea got up early.

The first thing she had to do was to fetch water from the little square at the corner of "Knight Street".

"Knight Street" is one of the earliest built blocks in the territory. It is said that it is also the site of the former barracks of the soldiers when the pioneering leader first camped. It was originally a continuous and neat military tent and several stacking platforms for stacking military supplies. After that, there were two neat rows of brick houses and a square at the end of the street.

Most of the Cecil soldiers with families lived in this area. One side of the block was the new barracks area, and the other side was the lord's mansion and the offices of several major departments, so "Knight Street" can also be used. It is regarded as the innermost defense line of Cecil's territory.

To live in this place seems to be the dream of many young people in the territory.

This means that they have the most respectable status, and they can also wear mighty enchanted armor, use the legendary powerful heat ray gun, and are already qualified to make their family into the ranks of "citizens".

Pea came to the territory halfway through the renovation of the brick house on Knight Street, and she witnessed how the workers on the land removed tents and wooden sheds with amazing efficiency, and then covered them neatly and sturdily. The brick houses and the magic-powered magic spar lamps installed in front of each house turned it into a beautiful place brighter and brighter than the wealthiest neighborhood in Tanzania. She lived in one of the first brick houses built on Knight Street with her adoptive father, Byron, the chief knight on the territory. Now she is the daughter of the chief knight and the "Mummy Miss" in Knights Street. .

But for Pea, these life changes didn't seem to affect her too much - or other people couldn't figure out what the mute woman was thinking. She can't speak, and this kind of "silence" is often the reason for other people's unreasonable speculation, so she is used to working silently, silently completing the things that others have told her, not being curious, not trying to communicate, and not being able to There will be trouble on the upper body, this is the life wisdom that Pea has accumulated in the past days, even if it is moved to a strange place and lived in a big sturdy house.

It's just that as she lived here longer and longer, she also realized that this place is indeed very different from the environment she used to know.

After closing the door, Pea took a bucket and walked on the way to the small square. On both sides of the road, you can see neat double-storey brick houses. This kind of house combines the classical style of Ansu and the "pragmatism" style of Grand Duke Cecil. She can't be seen in other places, at least the houses in other places can't be so extravagant that every gate is inlaid with magic spar lamps; and on the streets between houses, there are basically no men. , only the women are working in front of the door while pulling home.

Most of the men on Knight Street are soldiers led by Cecil, and even if they are not soldiers, they are also workers in factories. Therefore, what you can see on the streets during this time period are basically female relatives.

The peas were seen by Mrs. McLean, who was drying the fish by the door. The plump lady was one of the few who had survived from the old Cecil. Her husband was a veteran, and she herself was here. Prestigious on the street. Seeing the peas that came out with the bucket, the prestigious lady immediately greeted with a loud voice: "Pea, fetch some water? Would you like to help?"

What makes Cecil Land different from other towns: there will be someone to help you.

Pea made an "ahhh" sound and shook her head at Mrs. Mai Lin, indicating that she could do it.

"What a nice girl," Mrs. McLean was a chatterer--a penchant so strong that she could even chat with a mute for a long time, "Isn't Byron Knight back yet? out again?"

Pea carrying the bucket, thought for a long time and didn't know how to answer this complicated question, so he could only shake his head apologetically.

However, Mrs. Mai Lin didn't care whether Peadou answered or not, she just said it herself: "Hey, I heard that he was exploring the ruins in the mountains. My family went with him before, but he didn't tell me anything when he came back, tsk tsk, Men always have secrets... Pea, are you going to the castle to find Miss Betty?"

Although Duke Cecil did not build a "castle" in the traditional sense, it is clear that people are still used to calling the place where the lord lives by "castle": in their simple concept, the lord must live in a castle. .

At the mention of Betty, Pea finally laughed and nodded happily.

Cecil's territory is different from other towns: even the chief maid living in the lord's castle can talk very well, and even take a newcomer to visit the territory, and distribute the candy that the lord gave her to her eat.

Although the Lord seems to have only one maid...

Then Mrs. McLean talked about a lot of things, from the weather after the winter to the rumbling construction site on the territory, and from those magical machines to the extraordinarily good harvest this year, but fortunately she still remembered the peas. To fetch water, so she stopped decisively after extending the topic to just how big Viscount Rebecca's fireball could grow: "Hey, I can't stop when I say it at the beginning - hurry up and fetch water! Come back to my house for dinner!"

So Pea bowed to Mrs. Mai Lin and walked quickly towards the small square with the bucket in hand.

She was greeted frequently along the way. Most people called her by her first name "Pea", while a few called her "The Byron Girl" or "Miss Kirk", which was derived from Byron. Kirk's last name. Pea will respond to every greeting very seriously, and a slightly brisk smile gradually emerges on her face.

What makes Cecil Land different from other towns is that people here call her by her name instead of calling her "dumb" or "trash".

At first, Pea thought it was because of her "identity" that people had to respect a little mute because she had an adoptive father who was the chief knight, but she soon discovered that this attitude pervaded the whole territory, people and people This was the case in between - and after a while, she heard a sentence from Duke Cecil from her adoptive father:

The vast majority of vices and bad rules stem from a lack of food, and when people have enough to eat, they begin to think about morality. It's not absolute, but it's mostly the case.

Pea didn't quite understand the lord's wisdom, but she vaguely felt that this sentence made sense - she also had petty theft when she was hungry, and was whipped by the sheriff for stealing a piece of bread, She was publicly declared by the sheriff to have a "natural, blood-derived stealing habit", but now, her first reaction when she picks up something that doesn't belong to her is to hand it over to the soldiers and gentlemen on patrol.

She also believed that the soldiers would not swallow up the things that they handed over to her - because her adoptive father had told her more than once how strict the lord's management of the army was, and she trusted her adoptive father very much.

Pea came to the square with a bucket. The small square is very quiet at the moment. You can see that there is a construction site opposite the square that is doing the preparatory work before the start of the construction. There is a new residential area. The homeless people were carrying materials and distributing tools under the supervision of soldiers and overseers. They still had some blank and numb expressions on their faces. They didn't seem to understand the fact that they still had to work in winter, but Pea knew that these people would soon It's going to be hot -- when they understand the "Cecil Housing System" the soldiers read out, and understand that what they're building is the house they're going to live in.

Pea came to the well in the center of the square. The water in this well is actually directly drained from the Baishui River. Although the lord said something about the concept of "water supply into the house", everyone did not understand what that meant. , Everyone in the block draws water from this well, which is already very convenient for Peas.

She put her own water bucket aside, then opened the catch on the reel of the well, and threw the wooden bucket tied to the rope into the well—

There was a strange "banging" sound from the well, and Pea couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but then she heard the normal sound of water being poured into a wooden bucket, so she felt relieved.

Maybe it hit the well wall just now?

She grabbed the handle of the wheel with both hands and pushed hard to try to roll the bucket up.

Yet it didn't move.

Pea tilted her head and tried to push again, but she still didn't move.

The little girl became confused. She had never encountered such a situation before. Although she was only a child, she had always been very strong because of her work since she was a child. In addition, she had been able to keep up with her nutrition and maintained a good body recently. Her strength was even stronger than before, and it wouldn't be so laborious to draw a bucket of water from the well.

Pea approached the wellhead, carefully holding the bracket probe of the reel next to it and glanced inside, but it was dark inside and couldn't see anything at all.

At this moment, a voice came from the side: "Isn't this a girl from the Byron family... What's the matter?"

Peadou turned his head and glanced, and saw that it was a carpenter he knew. He was probably passing by, and saw himself staring at the well beside the well, so he came to ask, and the carpenter followed his two apprentices.

"Ah-ahh!" Peadou made a vague sound as he stretched out his hand at the mouth of the well, indicating that something was stuck in the bucket inside. The carpenter and the two apprentices looked at each other and quickly understood. what she meant.

"Watch by the side, we help you get the bucket up."

Pea obediently stepped aside, watching the three big men turn the handle hard together, the sturdy iron pole and the reel made of hardwood made a creaking sound, as if there was a big giant hanging from the rope. It was like a living person, but anyway, the rope finally started to rise.

"Come up, come up! Don't relax!"

The carpenter spoke loudly, and at the moment when his voice fell, Pea suddenly heard a loud sound of water coming from the well.

Whoa!

A figure with a splash of water suddenly rushed out of the well, and you could vaguely see the upper body of a human being and the tail of a fish...

Pea looked at this figure with dazed eyes.

Cecil Land is different from other towns: fish will pop out of the well here, and it's a big fish...
