Viktor was the leader of the children in Ellington.
In Ellington, almost all the children had to listen to Viktor.
Except for Elijah.
"Viktor, remember, you can fight or play with anyone, but you must stay away from Elijah."
Those were his father's words.
But Viktor didn't want to listen.
He really liked Elijah.
He didn't know what "like" meant, but he just wanted to play with Elijah.
But the adults didn't want children to play with Elijah. So, Viktor thought of a good idea.
That was to piss Elijah off. Make her angry, and she would notice him.
"Brother Viktor, we've lost them."
Viktor's number one follower, Marshall, said happily, "Those snotty little girls don't deserve to play with us."
"That's right, that's right. They don't understand the romance of a man — hey! Battle Technique — Heavy Strike! "
Another kid mimicked an adult's battle technique, as if he thought it was cool.
Marshall rolled his eyes. "Brother Viktor, take a look at what's inside. That Elijah might be hiding some secret in there."
"Shut up!"
Viktor said sternly. "No one is allowed to touch this bag!"
"Yes, yes, this is Brother Viktor's loot …" Marshall turned his head and shouted, "Did you hear me? No one is allowed to touch it! "
"Yes, sir!"
Viktor sat on the edge of the treehouse, looking into the distance. If he hid here, would they not be able to find him? After all, this was their secret base.
This was an abandoned treehouse, built by a former sentinel. Apparently, that sentinel had died at Buck's hands, and this place was abandoned. After Viktor and the others found it, it became their secret base.
Viktor felt a bit irritated. If he was found too easily, he wouldn't be able to show off his skills. But if he couldn't find them, he wouldn't be able to achieve his goal.
This was the young Viktor's problem …
Suddenly …
"Brother Viktor! They're here! "
Hearing this, Viktor's spirits lifted. He stood up and saw a few girls rushing to the bottom of the treehouse.
"Viktor! Give me back the bag! "
Elijah was both angry and anxious. That was the mint candy her big brother had made for her. How could Victor be so despicable!
"Elijah! If you want the bag, come up and get it yourself! "
Werther laughed and put down the rope ladder. The other boys beside him also laughed. The treehouse was very tall. Even they had to muster up the courage to climb it for the first time. How could these little girls have the courage?
As expected, when Betty saw the rope ladder fluttering in the wind, she was the first to get scared. She pulled Elijah and said, "Elijah, let's forget it. It's too high. It's dangerous …"
"That's right, Elijah. It's not too late to ask for it when they come down …"
Elijah bit her lower lip. After a moment of hesitation, she said with determination, "Victor! You must keep your word! I'm coming up now! "
"Elijah!"
Nicole was stunned. The tree house was so tall, and the rope ladder was so soft. How was it possible to get up there?
"No! I must get up there! "
Elijah was not convinced. She thought of Sister Elsa. If it were her, she would definitely be able to get up there easily.
Elijah grabbed the rope ladder and climbed up without hesitation!
"Elijah! Be careful! "
The three young girls became nervous, and the few young men stuck their heads out to look around. They were very surprised.
They did not think that Elijah would actually dare to climb up.
Although Victor was calm, his heart was beating faster than anyone else's.
One floor, then another. Closer, closer. She was about to touch the edge of the treehouse …
Elijah tried to reach out with her little hand.
Victor was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
"Ah!"
Just then, Elijah's foot slipped, and her little body fell down!
"Elijah!"
Victor was shocked. He reached out with his hand, but he did not catch Elijah!
He could only watch as Elijah fell to the ground!
Damn it!
Elijah's face was full of panic and confusion. Her eyes looked at the treehouse that was close at hand, but it was getting farther and farther away …
I'm going to fall …
Am I going to fall to my death …
…
No!
I don't want to fall to my death!
Rich elements surrounded Elijah in an instant!
In the distance, in the Lord's Mansion, Tang En, who had just returned to his bedroom, raised his eyebrows and disappeared from the room.
Iliya closed her eyes and waited for the impact of the fall, but she suddenly felt that she was embraced by a warm embrace.
This smell was …
"Big brother!?"
Elijah opened her eyes and saw Tang En suddenly appear. She was surprised and happy.
"Why are you here!?"
"If I didn't come, Elijah would have fallen and broken."
Tang En looked helpless. "Why do you want to climb so high?"
Elijah angrily pointed at Victor and said, "It's all his fault! Viktor took the mint candy you gave me! "
"Is that so?"
Tang En raised his eyebrows and looked at Victor. "Victor, is it? Come down. "
Victor was scared, but he couldn't ignore the adults' words. He had no choice but to bring the others down.
"Why did you take Elijah's bag?"
"Hmph! No reason! I just wanted to see if Elijah was qualified to be my friend! "
Victor snorted and raised his head. "As long as she can prove that she is qualified to be my friend and listen to me, of course I will return the bag to her!"
Tang En was stunned. Victor's behavior reminded him of himself in the past. In order to attract the attention of the girl he liked, he purposely made her angry …
This guy was still so arrogant!
"No! Don't even think about it! "
Elijah firmly rejected Victor. "I already promised big brother that I will listen to him in the future!"
"Big brother?"
Victor asked jealously. "Who is big brother!?"
"Big brother, it's him!"
Elijah said proudly. "This bag contains mint candy that big brother specially made for me! If you give it back to me now, I can share some with you and let you have a taste! "
Children didn't have the concept of hatred. Elijah just wanted everyone to know how good Tang En was to her, and how delicious the mint candy that Tang En made for her was.
Viktor was pissed off, extremely pissed off!
It was as if an inexplicable person had suddenly rushed out and snatched away the treasure that belonged to him. But being stared at by Twain, he could only return the bag to Eliya with a displeased expression.
Elijah opened the bag and counted. When she found that the mint candy wasn't missing, she was happy again. In the blink of an eye, she forgot her anger towards Victor.
"Big brother, can I share some with them?"
Elijah looked at Tang En.
Tang En patted Elijah's head. "If you want, of course you can."
What a kind little girl. Why was she so unlucky in the past?
But now that you've met me, your life will be completely different from now on.
Elijah took out the mint candy and handed it to Victor. "One each."
Elijah watched them eat the mint candy and snorted in her heart. Hmph, I won't give it to you when you want more after you've finished eating! You'll be so hungry!
If Tang En knew what Elijah was thinking, he would probably be surprised at how two-faced this little girl was.
The magic of the mint candy easily conquered Viktor and the others. The few little guys were almost stunned. That sweet and cool feeling was like a basin of cold water on a summer day, cooling them from the outside to the inside. It was awesome!
As Elijah expected, after Victor and the others finished one, they wanted a second one. But no matter how much they begged, Elijah would rather die than give it to them.
She deliberately shared it with Betty, Gillian, and Nicole in front of them. The little guys were drooling, but they couldn't do anything about it.
Seeing this, Tang En's heart skipped a beat, and he had an idea.
No matter the time, money from children and women was the easiest to earn. Children were the most important. One of the main reasons was that children were spoiled by their parents, while women were spoiled by only their husbands (except for lovers). Adults often couldn't refuse children's requests.
Today, he had Fiona announce the purchase and planting of mint on the bulletin board. If it was just a simple order, it would be difficult to get them to act quickly. But if he added some other catalysts …
Tang En smiled kindly. "Do you like this candy?"
Victor and the others nodded without hesitation.
"Do you know how this candy is made?"
They shook their heads.
"Actually, one of the most important things here is the mint grass growing by the river."
Tang En smiled and said, "The feudal lord has issued a new order for everyone to collect mint grass. The feudal lord is willing to buy it for one silver coin per kilogram …"
One kilogram of mint grass in exchange for one silver coin?!
Victor and the others were stunned. Although they didn't know how much one kilogram was, they knew how much one silver coin was!
Looking at the stunned boys and girls, Tang En smiled and added fuel to the fire. "Well, you can also exchange it for ten mint candies. Of course, you can also go collect them."
"Really?!"
Betty was very surprised. If collecting one kilogram of mint grass could earn them one silver coin, her mother's work would be easier!
"Of course."
"You can make the decision?"
Victor looked at Tang En suspiciously. He was full of suspicion and distrust towards this lord who had stolen Elijah.
"Of course!"
Elijah said proudly. "Big brother is the feudal lord! Of course he can make the decision! "
"Ah!?"
"Ah!?"
A group of people exclaimed. Betty and the others were frightened and knelt down at once. "Greetings, Sir Feudal Lord!"
Victor was also taken aback. Although he wanted to insist on standing, seeing that everyone was kneeling, he had to kneel down and salute. "Greetings, Sir Feudal Lord."
"No need for formalities."
Tang En waved his hand. "Instead of saluting me here, why don't you go and collect the mint grass?"
The boys and girls were a little tempted, but no one dared to move.
"Go, go … By the way, pay attention when you are collecting. Don't dig and destroy the river bank."
Tang En reminded them again, and then left with Elijah. = = =
