Chapter 192 fish, big fish

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning spread on the ground, the peas had already gotten up early.

The first thing she had to do was to fetch water in the small square at the intersection of "Knights Street".

"Knight Street" is one of the earliest blocks built in the territory. It is said to be the former site of the soldiers' barracks when the pioneers first set up camp. It was originally a neat military tent and several stacks of military supplies. However, after half a year, there were two neat rows of neat brick and tiled houses and a square at the end of the street.

Most of the Cecil soldiers with family live in this area. On one side of the block is the new military camp area, on the other side is the lord's mansion and the offices of several major departments. Therefore, "Knights Street" can also be regarded as a line of defense in the innermost layer of the Cecil's leadership.

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

This means that they have the most decent identity, and can wear the mighty enchantment armor, use the legendary powerful thermal ray gun, and are already qualified to let their families join the ranks of "citizens".

Pea came to this territory halfway through the renovation of brick and tile houses on Knight Street. She witnessed with her own eyes how the workers on this land demolished the tents and wooden sheds with amazing efficiency, then built neat and sturdy brick and tile houses, and installed magic-driven magic crystal lamps in front of each house, making this place a brighter and brighter and beautiful place than the richest neighborhood in Tanzan Town. She moved into one of the earliest brick and tile houses on Knight Street with her adoptive father's territory. Now she is the daughter of the Chief Knight and the "Mumph Miss" in Knight Street.

But for Pea, these changes in life did not seem to have affected her too much, or others could not understand what the mute girl was thinking. She could not speak, and this "silence" was often easily a reason for others to speculate for without reason. So she was used to working silently and completing the things that others had assigned to her. Without being curious or trying to communicate, she would not have any trouble. This is the life wisdom accumulated by Pea in the past days, even if she moved to a strange place and lived in a solid big house.

However, as she lived here for a longer time, she realized that this place was indeed very different from the environment she had once known.

Close the door and pea walked on the way to the small square with a bucket. Neatly tidy double-storey brick houses can be seen on both sides of the road. This kind of house that combines Ansu's classical style and Cecil's "pragmatic" style is not visible in other places. At least, the houses in other places cannot be luxurious so that every door is inlaid with magic crystal lanterns; and on the streets between the houses, there are basically no men, and only women are working in front of the door while chatting about home.

Most of the men on Knight Street are soldiers led by Cecil. Even if they are not soldiers, they are workers in factories everywhere. The former spends most of the month in military camps or various posts, while the latter has to go out to work during the day. Therefore, what you can see on the street during this period is basically female relatives.

Mrs. Mailene, who was drying dried fish at the door, saw the peas. The fat lady was one of the few who survived from the old Cecil. Her husband was a veteran, and she herself was quite prestigious on the street. Seeing the peas coming out with a bucket, the very prestigious lady immediately said hello: "Pea, go get water? Do you want to help?"

Cecil's distinction from other towns: someone will help you.

Pea made a "ahhh" sound and shook her head at Mrs. Mailene, indicating that she could do it completely.

"What a good girl," Mrs. Mailene is a person who likes to chat with people. Her preferences in this area are so strong that she can even chat with a mute for a long time. "Have the Byron Knights come back yet? Or are they going out again?"

Pea held the bucket and thought for a long time but didn't know how to answer this complicated question, so she could only shake her head apologetically.

However, Mrs. Mailene didn't care whether Pea had answered or not, but said: "Hey, I heard that he was exploring the ruins in the mountains. My house had been with him before, but when I came back, I didn't tell me anything. Tsk tsk, men always have secrets... Pea, you have to go to the castle to find Miss Betty later?"

Although Duke Cecil did not build a "castle" in the traditional sense, it is obvious that everyone is still used to using "castle" to call the place where the lord lives: in their simple concept, the lord must live in a castle.

Speaking of Betty, Pea finally laughed and nodded happily.

The Cecil leader is different from other towns: even the chief maid who lives in the Lord’s castle will be easy to talk to, and even brings the newcomer to visit the territory and distributes the candy that the Lord rewards her to himself.

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

Then Mrs. Mailene talked about a lot of things, from the weather after winter to the rumbling construction site on the territory, and from those magical machines to the particularly good harvest this year, but fortunately she still remembered that peas were going to fetch water, so after extending the topic to how big the big fireball of Viscount Rebecca could become, she stopped decisively: "Hey, I couldn't stop at the beginning and fetch water quickly! Come back to my house for dinner!"

So Pea bent over to Mrs. Mailene and walked quickly towards the small square with a bucket.

People often greeted her along the way. The most common name was to call her directly "Peabean", while a few people called her "Baron's Girl" or "Miss Kirk", which was derived from Byron Kirk's surname. Pea would respond very seriously to every greeting, while a slightly light smile gradually appeared on her face.

Cecil's lord is different from other towns: people here will call her by her name instead of just calling her "dumb" or "waste".

At first, Pea thought it was because of her "identity", because she had an adoptive father who served as the chief knight, so people had to respect a little mute, but soon she discovered that this attitude was spread throughout the territory, and it was like this between people. After a while, she heard a sentence from her adoptive father from Duke Cecil:

Most bad habits and bad rules are caused by insufficient food. When people can eat a full meal, they will start to consider morality. Although this is not absolute, it is the case in most cases.

Pea is not very good at understanding the lord's wisdom yet, but she vaguely felt that this sentence makes sense. She also thieves when she was hungry, and was beaten by the sheriff for stealing a loaf of bread. She was declared in public by the sheriff that she had "natural, blood-derived habits." But now, her first reaction to picking up something that does not belong to her was to hand it over to the soldiers and gentlemen on patrol.

She also believed that the soldiers would not take over what she had given to her husband. Because her adoptive father told her more than once how strict the lord was in the management of the army, she trusted her adoptive father very much.

Pea came to the square with a bucket. The small square was very quiet at this moment. You can see a construction site opposite the square doing preparations before the start of construction. There was a new residential area. After entering the fog moon, the last group of homeless people who arrived in the territory were transporting materials and distributing tools under the supervision of soldiers and supervisors. They also had some confused and numb expressions on their faces. They didn't seem to understand that they still had to do work in winter, but Pea knew that these people would soon get up in full swing. When they understood the "Cecil housing system" read by the soldiers and understood that they were building the house they wanted to live in.

Pea came to the well in the center of the square. The well water in this well was actually directed from the Baishui River. Although the lord had said the concept of "water supply to the household", no one understood what it meant. Everyone in the neighborhood fetched water from this well. In Pea's opinion, this was already very convenient.

She put her own bucket aside, then opened the jigs on the well wheel and threw the wooden bucket tied with a rope into the well

A strange "clang" sound came from the well, and Pea couldn't help but be stunned, but then she heard the sound of a normal wooden barrel entering the water, so she felt relieved.

Maybe you 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.

However, it doesn't move at all.

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

The little girl became confused. She had never encountered this situation before. Although she was just a child, she had always been very strong because she had worked since childhood. In addition, she had been able to keep up with her nutrition in recent times and had good health, so her strength was even greater than before. It would be better to get a bucket of water from the well than it was so hard.

Pea approached the wellhead and carefully held the support of the pulley beside him and looked inside, but it was dark inside and there was nothing to see.

At this moment, a voice came from the side: "Isn't this the Byron girl...what is wrong?"

Pea turned his head and looked at it. He saw that he knew a carpenter. He probably passed by and saw himself pursing his head beside the well so he came over to ask. The carpenter was following his two apprentices.

"Ahhhh!" Pea made a vague sound, and reached out to gesture at the wellhead, indicating that something had stuck in the bucket. The carpenter and the two apprentices looked at each other and quickly understood what she meant.

"Watch it from the side, we will help you get the bucket."

Pea obediently retreated aside, watching the three big men turn the grip together. The pulley made of solid iron pillars and hardwood made a squeaking sound, as if there was a living person falling under the rope, but no matter what, the rope finally began to rise.

"Here, come! Don't relax!"

The carpenter said loudly, and the moment he finished speaking, the pea suddenly heard a huge sound of water coming from the well.

Hurry!

A figure wrapped in water splashes suddenly rushed out of the well, and you could vaguely see the upper body of humans and the tails of fish...

Pea looked at the figure with a daze.
Chapter completed!
