Chapter 3 Humble
The woman would also hold him and tell him something in another language. Liu Yuan knew that this might be the language of his hometown. Although he couldn't understand it, he could only try his best to remember it. Then he fell asleep in her arms. This feeling of powerlessness made Liu Yuan very irritable!
After about a month, the woman's body became weaker and she even had difficulty getting out of bed. Fortunately, there was a middle-aged woman named Bulma who took time out every day to take care of her.
One evening, the woman suddenly became much more energetic. She picked up Liu Yuan and walked out of the castle, feeling the coolness of early autumn outside. With her back to the setting sun and looking into the distance, she sang a song with a gentle melody. It was a folk song from his hometown, and at that moment the woman showed a long-lost smile.
Liu Yuan looked at her flushed face and sighed silently. He knew that this abnormal radiance of energy was called the last gasp of life in Chinese.
Sure enough, after returning to the room and feeding Liu Yuan for the last time, this poor woman slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep forever.
Liu Yuan could only remember her name silently: Vina.
At night, Aunt Bulma came again. When she entered the dark room, she found Vina lying on the bed, already dead. She sighed, "Alas, poor girl, and your poor little one." Then she picked up Liu Yuan and went to find the head maid. After a while, several male servants came and took away Vina's cold body.
Liu Yuan lay in Bulma's arms, watching these people busying around. Under the instruction of a bald man, they built a platform outside the castle with firewood and coal. Vina lay on it, still wearing her thin and worn brown skirt.
An old man with white hair and beard was mumbling something. He couldn't understand many words. It should be a prayer for the dead. Then a few people threw torches on Vina, and then a blazing fire ignited. With the sea breeze, the flames were very strong, and the flames soon engulfed Vina's body. People stopped silently for a while and then returned to the castle.
The castle was closed at night, but because Vina had given birth to an illegitimate child for the count, the count was given a special favor to hold a simple funeral for her. Many servants in the castle attended the funeral, perhaps hoping that others would come to mourn after their death. But they had to go back and rest quickly before getting back to work tomorrow.
Liu Yuan was held in Bulma's arms the whole time, watching everything silently. When the crowd dispersed, Bulma came to the bald man. This bald man should be the butler of the castle, and he seemed to be quite powerful. The two seemed to have a good relationship with each other. The two exchanged a few words: the general meaning was that Vina was dead, and the child was left to Bulma to take care of. After all, it was the blood of the lord, and it was a "dragon seed". Who knew if the earl would pay attention to it.
Bulma also made a request to the butler: "This child is like a little dragon. He has a huge appetite. The ration arranged by the kitchen before is not enough." She could be said to be raising the child for the lord. She explained Liu Yuan's situation to the butler, while also trying to get more supplies for herself.
Balin nodded in agreement: "Okay, I got it. I will tell Laiya that whatever the child needs, you just need to go to the kitchen to get it. I will increase your salary by 3 copper wheats every month, okay! Increase it by 5 copper wheats." Liu Yuan's eyes widened. Bulma actually took the man's hand and put it into her plump breasts. The bald man compromised immediately. These two must be having an affair.
Bulma held Liu Yuan and returned to Vina's room. She packed some useful things there, including a few pieces of inferior jewelry and Vina's pitiful private money. Liu Yuan thought these things were understandable. She raised your child for you, so isn't it normal to take a little bit of your things? In this feudal society, everyone lived a humble life.
Then she held Liu Yuan and went back to her room. As a senior maid, Bulma's room was on the second floor, and her living environment was obviously better than Vina's. As the candlelight lit up, Bulma took off her clothes and began to wash herself. Liu Yuan found that her muscles and skin were still very firm. It turned out that Bulma was younger than he had imagined, perhaps only in her thirties. It was just that the skin on her face was not so good because she had lived by the sea for many years, so she looked a little old. She looked good with a little makeup, no wonder the bald man was so enthusiastic about her. Bulma reached out to untie Liu Yuan's package and found that it was very clean, without the feces and urine she had imagined. She happily picked up Liu Yuan and kissed him. After a few gestures, she began to use Vina's old clothes to make baby clothes for Liu Yuan. Liu Yuan just looked at it for a while, and then he was so sleepy that he yawned and fell asleep.
From that day on, Liu Yuan lived with Bulma. Although he had no mother, he still had milk to drink. It was from the goats raised in the castle. The goat milk was freshly squeezed and served to him after just heating. It was absolutely natural, with a few strands of wool floating on it! Although he complained about the sanitary conditions, he had to drink it in order to grow up quickly. Except for the strong smell of mutton, everything else was fine. When he was in Blue Star, he lived in a pastoral area since he was a child and had always eaten cow and sheep milk products. When he was drinking goat milk, he was still thinking about how to make it taste better.
Bulma is a maid in the kitchen who cooks and is also responsible for making soup. Her job is relatively easy (because she has someone above her). When she works, she uses a cloth belt to tie Liu Yuan to her back. This is very common in this era. Another advantage is that you always have to taste the soup when you make it. Bulma always feeds him a few mouthfuls with a wooden spoon, and Liu Yuan is full after a while.
When there is no work, Bulma will hold Liu Yuan and walk around the castle. In fact, the Red Crab Castle is very close to the sea, less than one kilometer away. The fortress does not look big as a whole. It is about 100 meters long and wide, and about 23 meters high with seven floors. It is built with stone and blue bricks. The castle has three walls, and the interior is composed of multiple towers, which are cleverly connected into a whole by passages. In this way, the bottom of the castle appears very spacious, which can be used for servants to live and raise some livestock. When necessary, the army can be assembled, and even hundreds of cavalry will not seem crowded. It can be seen that the architectural level of this world, at least the technology of building castles, is still very advanced.
