Chapter 20 Good Night
After baking the bread in the morning, I have to worry about the leather shop in the afternoon. Busy is the norm when the market is approaching.

Although the family opened a leather shop, since the uncle passed away, his fief - a dyeing workshop has been taken over by the baron, and considering the past love, this dyeing workshop in the countryside only charges for itself and other people's One-third, all kinds of leather are collected from Orion farmers, then weaved and dyed in the dyeing house, and finally put on the storefront in the market.

Carrying a scale and a hammer in one hand, and a small gong in the other, Chen Yi came to the herring village in the Barony. Although the name of the village is related to herring, it does not produce herring, but a river fish called biss. It is said that it was mistaken for a herring by some baron, hence the name of the village.

"Uncle Aubrey, this pigskin weighs three pounds, eight silver reeds, and eleven copper dills."

"Dog skin? Let me see. Six to a pound. Six silver reeds."

"Mary, your sheepskin is not well shaved. You can only get five silver reeds, no more. The cloth is well woven and very long. Two silver reeds. I'll give you three more copper dills."

Beating the gong, Chen Yi yelled to collect the leather cloths, surrounded by villagers pondering the price, and piled the collected leather cloths on the rented donkey, one pile after another.

It took a whole morning to finally collect all the leather cloth that a village could afford. Chen Yi tied the leather cloth on the donkey and put away the gong, but she was not in a hurry to leave.

From a distance, came a particularly short and thin figure, that was the dwarf girl Riley.

"Mr. Chen Yi, wait for my dad, he has gone to the public oven to get bread." She said in a childish voice, with young stubble growing around her lips, which is a sign that a dwarf is about to enter puberty.

"Okay, Riley."

Chen Yi touched Laili's head. Her father, Suishan, was good friends with her uncle. She was a hunter in the village, not a blacksmith like the ones in the stories. Even dwarves have good skills, but not every dwarf can be a blacksmith. A barony may only need one or two blacksmiths.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a short and stocky figure with a long beard that was about to fall to the ground appeared far away on the horizon. He ran over with short legs, holding a pile of gray leather in a hurry.

"Uncle Suishan, is this a wolf fur?" Chen Yi couldn't help being surprised, the wolf fur was handled very rough, and there was still unwashed blood on it.

When Suishan approached, Chen Yi saw that his cheeks were particularly thin and yellow.

"Yes, child, I squatted in the forest for three days." Suishan squeezed out a wrinkled smile, with sunken eyes.

"Uncle Broken Mountain, how did you kill the wolf?"

Wolves are pack animals, they usually appear in the depths of the forest, at worst they are a pair, and they are extremely cunning. The hunters who go up the mountain often hide and go. In fact, Chen Yi wants to ask him why he wants to Take the risk of killing wolves.

"Bah," Suishan spit on the ground, "there is a female wolf who just gave birth. The male one has gone somewhere and has not been seen. He may be dead. I chased the female wolf to the cave and chopped off its neck with an axe. .”

Seeing Chen Yi start to weigh the skin, Sui Shan pleaded: "Son, help me count more, my wife has a cold and is very ill."

Chen Yi suddenly realized, no wonder Suishan wanted to go up the mountain to kill the wolf.

After taking the scale and weighing it, Chen Yi counted the pounds, and weighed thirteen silver reeds on the scale.

Suishan opened his mouth, his sunken eyes couldn't help but be delighted.

Chen Yi added another seven copper dills and said, "I'll buy some meat for my aunt. I'll take my aunt to the town to see the priest tonight. Maybe the Lord will bless him."

His kingdom of God is limited to Resurrection Town, not the entire Barony.

"Son, thank you, thank you, Raymond has a good nephew." Tears welled up in Suishan's eyes, "I'll take her there tonight."

Repeatedly persuading Suishan to find a time next month to take his wife to the town, Chen Yi returned home after the curfew, and heard Hedwig's complaints head-on, he perfunctorily lit the rush lamp, and the smell of burning animal fat Pungent, nobles use beeswax, commoners use rushes, in short, this is not an era of lack of light.

Rush lamps soaked in animal fat often create thick fog when lit. Chen Yi opened the window to prevent the cloudy smoke from lingering for a long time.

"I bought a lot of skins, waiting to be sent to the dyeing workshop tomorrow." Chen Yi cut off a piece of bread and soaked it in wine.

The water is not clean, and firewood is needed to boil the water. Soaking in low-quality ale to soften is the most economical choice.Alcohol has a bactericidal effect.

Although it is inferior ale, soaking the bread in it, the sour and sweet taste is actually good.

Hedwig nodded, she was very familiar with the routine procedures in the past few years.

After eating two more slices in succession, Chen Yi was completely full, and the smell of the rush lamp was very smelly, Chen Yi couldn't bear it.

Hedwig also wrinkled her nose and coughed twice.

"The lamp is too smelly, go to bed early, brother." She said softly.

Burning rush lamps are indeed pungent.

After turning off the light, Chen Yi climbed into bed.

Tonight is the last time I can ascend to the Kingdom of God this month.

Sitting on the throne, the bronze door lifted by the invisible tower in the distance gives people a desolate touch.

Easter Town came into view.

Chen Yi zoomed in on the perspective of Resurrection Town, and all living beings who were looked down upon looked down again.

He noticed the church first.

Broken Mountain sent his wife to the church, and the priest shook his head one after another looking at the illness of the female dwarf.

The female dwarf's eyes were a little lost, and the impatient Su Shan kept asking questions, and he held his wife's hand tightly.

Chen Yi put out some lights,

An imperceptible light fell on Suishan's wife.

In the church, no one noticed that Suishan's wife's complexion turned slightly rosy.

Following Chen Yi's actions, more lights were lit on the Bell Tower of Good and Evil.

Then he thought of someone who also helped his family a lot, so he looked away.

Chen Yi brought her attention to Amy's grocery store.

In the bedroom where the fireplace is burning, Grandma Amy is sitting on the bed, surrounded by the eldest daughter-in-law Mary.

"It's okay, Mary, don't worry about me, the room is warm enough." The eldest daughter-in-law handed a glass of milk, and Grandma Amy drank it slowly.

"Mom, will it be too cold if the fire is turned off at night?" Mary asked worriedly.

"No, no, it's still very warm, too warm to get up." Grandma Amy laughed.

She put the wooden cup back in Mary's hand, and her upper body shuddered.

Mary hurriedly took her arm.

Grandma Amy slowed down for a while, and said softly: "Don't be nervous, Mary, it's just a full hiccup. Go back to sleep, tomorrow the store will prepare things for the market."

Hearing this, Mary felt relieved, she turned around and walked out of the room.

After the sound of her daughter-in-law's footsteps disappeared in the corridor, Grandma Amy grabbed the quilt and covered her mouth, coughing under her throat.

Even in the room with the fireplace she was coughing.

Chen Yi, who watched all this, was startled.

Grandma Amy's body is not as good as she said.

After all, it is more than 80 years old.

Chen Yi stopped the Easter Town.

I heard her tell her uncle and aunt that in the first half of her life, she and her husband ran a grocery store. Since her husband died early, with the idea of ​​letting him go to heaven, she donated money to the church every year and distributed bread and firewood to the poor in the town.And when the two brothers under their knees grew up and took over the store, they spent the rest of their lives walking in various homes, being matchmakers and delivering babies. Whenever someone died in a poor family, they would receive bread and salt from the grocery store.

Everyone in the town said she could be an angel in the future.

She smiled heartily, without any modesty, and always said that she would be an angel with her husband in the future.

Chen Yi thought that she was undoubtedly a kind person worthy of repayment.

"I bless you, Grandma Amy," he said.

After the imperceptible light fell, Resurrection Town was back on track.

Grandma Amy felt a warmth in her throat, and the dry and hot feeling of coughing disappeared without a trace, and her breathing became smooth instantly.

However, her eyelids were tired and she couldn't stop trying to close them.

How many years have passed, and it has been a long time since I felt sleepy like this.

The older the elderly, the less likely they are to have a good night's sleep.

What did Grandma Amy realize? There are often rumors of miracles in this town, and it is a town favored by the gods.

"Praise you." She finished softly and closed her eyelids.

She had a premonition of a good dream.

"Good night, Grandma Amy."
