Chapter 2 Old Peasants
It is said to be winter. Because it is close to the seaside, the Altlan Mountains in the north intercept the cold air in the north, so the climate in Hillsbrad Hills is just a bit wet and cold, not the dry and cold in winter. The hilly area is still green, and ordinary people just add some clothes. The second-stage professionals are even the same as usual.
The changes in weather have not had a huge impact on them. Of course, the changes in the entire Azeroth season are actually not too obvious. This is not to say that there are no seasonal changes. But for some reason, the Titans have the opportunity to make them call themselves a system. The vast majority of areas have towering mountains around the clouds, creating their own climate.
Adventurers and merchants who are adventurous generally prepare corresponding supplies based on the places they are going to and the special climate of the place. However, this is very far away for ordinary people, while more ordinary people live very ordinary days. They rise and rest at sunset. They are ordinary farmers, who live in their own land for generations. They live hard and simple.
Old John is an ordinary member of this. He lives in hilly plains and owns his own small farm. Although he is not rich, he is at least a well-off family and relies on his own small farm. Old John lived happily for decades.
Old John became excited just now when his wife was nagging, and amid the nagging that his wife had repeatedly told him, Old John put on more than a dozen carriages in the backyard. The rear of the car was obviously filled with goods, and the car was covered with thick hay. I couldn't see what was inside.
Shortly afterwards, a group of very simple-looking young people came to the backyard.
One of the young men who led the lead said excitedly: "Uncle John, you are so early. We are still thinking about getting up early to help, but we didn't expect you to be ready. I'm so embarrassed."
Old John laughed and scolded the young man, patted his shoulder and said, "This is your help, how can you make you too tired? Besides, I'm so excited that I didn't sleep well all night."
"Haha, uncle, don't make fun of us. We haven't gone far away yet when we grow up so old, especially when we can go to Jade Collar this time. I know that you are willing to take us there. We really haven't had a good sleep for several days." Another young man said.
"Young people, I was like this when I was old." Old John said, patting his forehead and said, "Look at my memory, have you used breakfast so early? If it's useless, I'll let my wife prepare some."
The young man who led the lead quickly said, "Uncle, don't have to worry. Let's go quickly, we can't wait. I also want to go to the Jade Collar to see what the dragon looks like."
"And I, I want to go to the amusement park to play. One of my cousins said that it was fun over there. I showed off in front of me all day, which made me very embarrassed."
"And I. I heard that the stadium led by Jasper is open for free, so I have long wanted to play football myself." said a small boy.
"Tsk, just the bad skills we kicked with straw balls, I don't want to embarrass you. I just want to see the championships every quarter of Jasper Leader. I heard that the losing team is very shameless. And they will do the most dangerous and shameless things, and they will kill them every time. So their skills are also the best. I have wanted to learn a few moves long ago."
"I just heard that the motorcycle with Jade-haired is very fun. I heard that it can be used for free, I..."
"Tsk, you are really useless. My only purpose is to go to the lord's mansion to see it. Maybe we can see the marshal. He is my idol. When I grow up, I will join the army."
The young man's words immediately attracted a burst of ridicule: "Little monkey, you can't help but betray you, you're still a soldier. Forget it, you can't even use your anger until now."
"That's right, little monkey, being a soldier is really not suitable for you."
"Little monkey, you have to think about it. You have to fight to join the army."
The little monkey's face turned red and said, "You look down on me, wait. Even if I can't become a big hero when I grow up, I will at least become a general."
Uncle John sighed and said, "Little Monkey, I advise you to give up this idea."
"Why, uncle, do you even look down on me?" The little monkey's face suddenly became a little uneasy, and tears also rolled.
Uncle John said earnestly: "Little Monkey, your idea is good, but things are not as simple as you think. You must know that not every territory meets a good lord like a Jade Corner, and there is only one marshal in the entire alliance. Just say that you are in the army, it is not as simple as you think. Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's say on the road, now let's hurry up, Porter and the little monkey help me drive this big car, and everyone else drives a small car, let's set off."
The leading cart was actually very huge, wide and long, but there were two batches of horses pulling the cart, and the cart on them was four or five times that of the small cart behind them. The uncle shouted and drove the big cart to the outside of the village. The little monkey and Porter were next to Uncle John. Although the teenagers behind were not old, they grew up on the farm. Hunting a cart was a survival instinct for them, driving the cart one by one. The small convoy formed a small long dragon and slowly marched along the low-lying and uneven dirt road towards the outside of the town.
When leaving the town, an old farmer walked out with a cart pulled by an old horse. When he saw John, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes: "Boy John, you are going to go to Jasper Collar in person."
"Uncle? What are you doing?" John said in confusion: "Peter said not long ago that you would not let you dare to work farming anymore, so that you can cultivate well at home."
"Oh, don't blame Peter, I do it all on my own." The old farmer sighed and said, "Originally, we were good this year, but who knew that Peter had a serious illness and we knew what we were doing. Apart from the taxes given to the Lord, what else can we have left. Peter's illness, the farm's crops must be taken care of, otherwise we will not be able to pass next year."
Old John slapped the shaft hard and said loudly: "Uncle, you don't treat me as your family. I don't know what happened so big, and I blame me for being confused this time and haven't visited you for so long."
The old man quickly shook his head and said, "How can you blame you? You are very capable and have the best ability to grow crops in the whole town. This time, the Marshal and his subordinates came to our town to buy qualified fruits and vegetables for the festival, and only the things you grow were taken aback. You don't know that our town is following the glory, maybe the Marshal and his elders can eat the vegetables you have. It is only your duty to stay on the farm all day, but if you neglect, the people in our town will not let you go."
"Oh, uncle, wait for me to come back." John also said with tears in his words and lined up his chest: "The Jasper Collar is very kind, and the price of the goods is three times that of normal. When I come back, I will be more than enough. I will be able to take Peter to the city. Oh no, look at my memory. Uncle, we will quickly carry Peter into the car and I will take him to the Jasper Collar church for treatment."
"John, you don't need to say anything. I know your thoughts, but we can't accept it. It's not easy for anyone to know that you are. Your boy is so determined to go to Jade Leader to go to school. It's all money. There is also a archbishop who has stayed in Jade Leadership. Can we get in? Even if we can get in, we can't afford the cost of not eating or drinking for two years."
John was so amused and said, "My uncle, what did you hear about these? Who told you that my boy would have to spend money on Jade to get to school?"
The old farmer shook his head firmly and said, "Don't hide it from me. Don't look at me as old, but I don't know anything. It is said that our lord's young master spent hundreds of gold coins just for admission. I heard that it was just the beginning. What tuition fees, book fees, tuition fees, etc. will be charged in the future. I don't understand anyway, but it will take more than one hundred gold coins in half a year..."
"Uncle, please take it down." As John said, he looked around, and saw that there was no one around, and said, "You don't know what kind of virtue the lord's son is. He didn't pass the assessment at all. The lord's wife used to know Mayor Morgana. She walked several trips to Jade Leader to do it, but she still had to pay for money. My kid was selected by his ability, and there was no one in everyone. He didn't need any money to go to school at all, and he didn't need any fees. He even had clothes to collect every quarter. Not long ago, my kid wrote to tell me what scholarship he received and he still had money to get. Last time, Jade Leader said I would send a car to receive goods. I was thinking about how to bother others, and I also wanted to go there to see my kid and give some things by the way. I heard that he was selected to participate in any training and I can't come back this year."
The old farmer nodded in a vague way, but said, "You can't go to the church led by Jasper. We poor families don't have so much attention. Just spend money to ask the pastor to see it."
"Uncle, I'm talking so much." John said with a smile: "The Jade Collar is different from the place you said. It is a real holy land, a place where the Holy Light shines. If you give money, I promise you can't find a pastor to help you heal. How can that place of holy light be polluted by money? Don't worry, you don't have money there."
"There is such a beautiful place in the world. I'm not dreaming. We are poor people. People can let us in..." The old man still didn't believe it.
"Uncle, you'd better hurry up. It's important to see a doctor. Potter, monkey comes with me and help me."
At this moment, a young man came over. There was a black bird on his shoulder. The bird's feathers were as dark as ink, and there were still a flash of electric arcs on his body.
"I'll ask, I heard there are patients here?"...
PS: Kavin, I re-planned the outline and finally got smooth.
Finally, I would like to ask for a monthly ticket. The classification is almost squeezed down. The chrysanthemum is so painful that it hurts. Please support and counter-explosion...
