Succubus' Manor

Chapter 169

The people from Flando are now building roads, and Chi Yan is relieved after hearing the report.

This group of people can't leave when they find a job. Unless they break their limbs and crawl away, they are Stettinians.

As soon as Chi Yan had this thought, he was taken aback by his own thoughts.

He suddenly felt that he had become a little less like himself, and he was very flustered.

So he put down the brochure in his hand, and hurriedly looked for Kleist.

There are some things he can only say to Kleist, even the old butler, he can't say.

He and Kleist are a couple, and they are the closest people in the world. They can't have their own children, so even if they are not related by blood, they are the closest.

The dearest person is one who cries, and the other should never feel better.

Chi Yan was followed by two servants, one was Kadi and the other was Ryan. Ever since Chi Yan came back, Kadi had been by Chi Yan's side. He was afraid that Chi Yan would forget him if he was gone for a long time and wanted to be promoted. newcomer.

As for Ryan, it was entirely due to Cadillac. Ryan is now a very decent manservant in the castle. Although he has not yet become a personal servant, there is a chance.

The group of male servants around Chi Yan fought like Gong Dou.

Chi Yan knew it well, but he didn't bother to care about it. After all, the servants didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

What's more, for him, as long as the job is done well, it doesn't matter which one it is.

"Where's Kleist?" Chi Yan asked Kadi.

Cardi: "Looks like it's on the school grounds."

Chi Yan nodded, and walked towards the school grounds like the wind. The school grounds were used to count soldiers, but because the school grounds were large, they could also train soldiers besides counting soldiers.

As soon as Chi Yan passed by, he saw Kleist standing in the crowd. Kleist's black hair was tied with a dark blue headband, simple and neat, revealing his smooth forehead and sharp eyes. eyebrows.

Standing opposite Kleist was Ansair. Kleist usually beat these instructors when he had time, lest they get arrogant and wonder how heavy he is.

Ansair obviously knew that he would be beaten severely today. He gritted his teeth and did not back down. He held a steel knife in his hand and his legs were very steady. My heart was shaking, and I couldn't hold the knife steadily.

But Kleist will not pity him because of this, let him go, Ansair and the others are holding steel knives, while Kleist is holding wooden knives - mainly because he is afraid that he will accidentally kill someone .

However, if the wooden knife is used with great strength, it can stab people to death. It is not obvious on the surface. If the internal organs are damaged, the person can be sent away without any blood.

Kleist's movements were very easy, but Ansair just couldn't stand it. The wooden knife was not like a wooden knife, but more like the sharpest weapon. Ansier was stabbed in the shoulder, and the steel knife fell out of his hand. .

He was so painful that his face was hideous, but he didn't dare to cry out the pain, or beg for mercy.

Kleist withdrew the wooden knife, his face was expressionless, but there was contempt and sarcasm in his eyes: "Can't catch a knife?"

Ansair knelt down on the ground in an instant.

Kneeling is out of fashion now, especially since Ansair is still a nobleman, but Ansair still knelt.

All those who have been trained by Kleist obey him, kneeling and kneeling willingly.

But Kleist was obviously not satisfied either, he sneered: "The bones are so light?"

Ansair's voice was trembling, he didn't know whether it was from fear or shame, he said tremblingly, "My lord, I am not your opponent."

Kleist looked around, all the people on the school field bowed their heads in silence.

Kleist: "If you are like this, on the battlefield, can you hold the knife steadily?"

Finally someone boldly said: "Compared with you, of course we can't hold a knife stably, and we are nothing, but compared with the outsiders, it is not a problem for us to hit ten."

The flattery was brilliant—at least among this group of people.

Kleist smiled and was about to continue to say something when he turned his head and saw Chi Yan looking at him not far away.

The Kleist man stopped training, and he threw the wooden knife to the people around him: "Continue to practice."

Instructors: "Yes!"

They all saw the change in Kleist's expression. He had a fierce expression just now, but when he saw the lord, his brows and eyes softened, and everyone shivered.

This...cough!No matter how powerful Kleist is, he is still the lord's wife, and only the lord can restrain him.

Kleist strode up to Chi Yan, and now that the weather was getting colder, Kleist frowned slightly: "Why are you only wearing one?"

Chi Yan: "It's not cold, I'm so young and strong... Cough cough cough..."

Kleist's brows deepened, and he glanced at Kadi who was standing beside Chi Yan.

Kadi quickly took a step back, saluted and said, "My lord thinks it's too hot..."

Kleist didn't say much, but he himself was only wearing one piece of clothing, and he couldn't take it off for Chi Yan, otherwise he would leave shirtless.

He himself didn't think there was anything wrong with being shirtless. When he was under the abyss, he didn't even have to wear clothes.

But now that he is a family man, it would be bad to be shirtless, so Kleist grabbed Chi Yan's waist and brought Chi Yan into his arms.

The two make their way to the castle like Siamese twins.

Kleist also said softly, "I'll add more clothes when I get back."

Chi Yan just coughed a little bit, and his throat was itchy, but Kleist cared about him, so he nodded with a smile on his face: "Okay."

Back in the room, Chi Yan asked Kadi to go out and closed the door, so that there were only Chi Yan and Kleist in the room.

Kleist poured Chi Yan a cup of hot water—here Chi Yan likes to drink hot water, and other people don't drink hot water unless they are too cold.

This is a habit developed from generation to generation. It takes a lot of work to boil hot water and firewood. How can ordinary people have so much time to chop firewood? The firewood is piled up. In autumn and winter, they need firewood for heating and cooking. If they drink water I also use firewood, so I don’t have to work all day long, I just cut firewood every day.

Although Stettin now sells a lot of charcoal, most people are still willing to buy firewood. Cheapness is the biggest advantage. Whether it chokes or smokes is not so important.

Later, it was Chi Yan who forced the water to be boiled before drinking, so people started to boil water, and with more money earned, there was no shortage of money to buy firewood, so they started to boil hot water.

But if you drink it, you should let it cool before drinking.

Chi Yan remembered the popular science programs he had watched before. In the earliest days, neither China nor the West seldom boiled water for drinking. The reason is as above.

Later, a plague broke out in the West because of water pollution, that is, fecal bacteria and other reasons. At that time, the way the West thought was to directly filter the water source.

Without the link of boiling water, of course there is no tradition of boiling water for drinking.

As for China, drinking tea is exclusive to the upper class. Earlier, the upper class believed that drinking cold water would kill people.

Ordinary people don't know how to boil water for drinking. Later, when the country was founded, it was poor and the country was large, and they didn't have the financial resources to filter water directly. But with briquettes and so on, they called on people to boil water for drinking.

People responded positively and got used to drinking hot water.

Chi Yan thinks that if it continues, the people in Stettin will get used to drinking hot water—anyway, the filtered water in the manor is okay, the place is small, and there are few people.

It is not very convenient for Stettin to filter the water. It is also a big project. It will take a long time until there are water pipes and tap water can be connected. People can only get used to drinking hot water.

Disease enters through the mouth, and there is no need to worry about the food being cooked. The biggest source of pollution is water.

The eggs and corpses of the bugs, as well as the excrement, are all in the water, even if they look clean.

The water that Chi Yan drank himself was filtered with charcoal and clean sand cotton cloth, and then boiled before drinking.

Otherwise, he would not be able to pass this level in his heart.

Chi Yan thought about it, and finally remembered the reason why he was looking for Kleist. He sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Kleist standing in front of him, and then stretched out his hands to hug Kleist. waist, and buried his face in Kleist's waist.

"Kleist."

Krystal raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

Chi Yan didn't have much energy, and asked wearily, "Do you think I've changed?"

It was a rare opportunity for Kleist to speak sweet words. He stretched out his hand and pinched Chi Yan's chin, forcing Chi Yan to look up at him, and then said softly, "It hasn't changed, it's still so good-looking."

Chi Yan's eyes widened.

Kleist smiled, "What's wrong?"

Chi Yan's mood improved a lot: "It's nothing, I just feel that I'm becoming more and more impersonal."

He no longer feels the warmth and coldness of many people. He used to feel embarrassed when the male servants served him respectfully, but now he doesn't feel it at all.

This male servant is not good at doing things, so he can just change to another one, there are so many people to let him choose.

Or when I saw civilians before, I just felt that the other party was the same person as him. Although they looked different, they were still very close.

But now, he sees civilians, only this person is the concept of a commoner.

Chi Yan said in a muffled voice, "I'm afraid that one day I will become someone I don't even know myself."

Kleist felt that Chi Yan's worry was unreasonable, and he said inexplicably, "Aren't you like this before?"

Chi Yan: "..."

Kleist stroked Chi Yan's hair: "I know, you are worried that you will become a person like the dean of the Holy Spirit if you don't take human life seriously in the future."

Chi Yan nodded vigorously, yes!That's what he means!

Kleist: "It's not that you have changed, it's that your vision has changed, and the way you handle things has changed."

"Besides, if you sit in your current position, you can't change it. It's still the same as before. What do you use to play?"

Chi Yan looked at him half understanding.

Kleist: "If you are still the same as before, you will not be able to fight. In a war, some people will die, and some people will lose everything."

"Those people are also ordinary people."

Chi Yan looked at him and listened quietly.

Kleist: "If you want everyone to live a good life, you must have a hard heart."

"When you shouldn't be soft, you must never be soft."
