Volume 2 Amber Chapter 57 Baron Barney's Horse Dies
The next morning.
Chen Lun left the manor without having breakfast.
——Because last night’s food has not been digested yet.
“It feels good to go to work in a carriage.”
Chen Lun sighed in the carriage.
The roads in the inner city are paved very smoothly and there are no bumps on them. It feels much better than riding in a horse-drawn carriage before.
Soon the carriage arrived at the gate of Pompeii Manor.
Chen Lun instructed the driver to come back here and wait in the evening.
The driver nodded, bowed, and then drove away in the carriage.
A maid had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw Chen Lun get off the carriage, she opened the door a little to allow him to enter.
The door was too heavy, and it was a bit difficult for the maid to open it completely.
"Mr. Jack, Viscount Pompey is having breakfast. He said if you come early, you can join him."
When they reached the door of the villa, Binoz said to Chen Lun.
"No, I've already eaten. Thank the Viscount for his kindness, Butler Binoz."
Chen Lun nodded and replied politely.
"Then please wait in the living room for a moment. Miss Rebecca's natural science class will start at ten o'clock."
Binoz led Chen Lun to sit on the sofa in the living room, then said hello and left.
Watching the old butler's back disappearing around the corner of the living room, Chen Lun looked around the environment boredly.
There are many framed paintings hanging on the walls, most of them are oil paintings.
I don’t know whether it’s because people of this era like it or because of Viscount Pompey’s own preference.
Just after nine o'clock, Chen Lun heard the sound of rapid wheels turning.
Rebecca pushed the wheelchair alone and came to him.
"Hoo... Good morning! Mr. Jack!"
She seemed very excited, and her clothes and makeup seemed to have been carefully dressed up, making her look better than yesterday.
"Good morning, Miss Rebecca."
Chen Lun stood up, took off his hat and prepared to salute.
But Rebecca took off her white lace gloves first and quickly handed her hand over.
He was slightly startled, and then he saw Rebecca blushing and looking at him expectantly.
"You look beautiful today, but this outfit may not be suitable for my nature class."
Chen Lun took Rebecca's little hand and kissed the back of her fingers.
Rebecca didn't hear him at all.
He kissed me!
Did he smell the perfume I deliberately sprayed on my hands today?
Would it be too pungent?
“Ahem!”
Mrs. Pompey coughed twice and strode over.
"Good morning, Mrs. Pompey."
"Good morning, Mr. Jack."
After exchanging friendly greetings, Mrs. Pompey said to Chen Lun:
"Rebecca heard about your arrival and came here pushing her wheelchair without even finishing her breakfast."
As he said this, he narrowed his eyes and glared at Rebecca.
Rebecca was not afraid and glared back.
"Ah, I'm really sorry. It seems that Miss Rebecca is too eager to learn."
Chen Lun pretended to apologize and showed an embarrassed expression on his face.
"In that case, can we start today's lesson?"
"Uh-huh!"
Rebecca nodded, and regardless of her mother staring at her, she pushed her wheelchair and ran out.
Seeing this, old housekeeper Binoz hurried to follow her, worried that she would trip over the steps when she went out the door.
ten minutes later.
Chen Lun sat in a chair under the parasol and told Rebecca some of his views on nature.
To be honest, he actually feels very deeply about this aspect.
Whether it was the experience of exploring the map alone in the past, or the understanding after becoming a [Tamer].
"...animals are an integral part of nature, look at this snake."
He pointed at a poisonous snake on the table and talked attentively.
Rebecca was so frightened that her face turned pale. She shrank in her chair, not daring to move.
Its green scales shone brightly in the sun, its tiny body curled up into a ball, and it raised its little head to stare at her.
"It...it's staring at me!"
Rebecca said with a trembling voice.
"Oh no, it's just a fake snake. Like I said, it's just a prop."
Chen Lun grabbed the poisonous snake and placed it in the palm of his hand.
"You see, it won't bite. Don't be afraid, Miss Rebecca, come, feel it."
"ah!"
Chen Lun grabbed Rebecca's hand and gently placed it on the venomous snake.
Cool and textured.
Rebecca slowly opened her eyes, and an expression of surprise gradually appeared on her face.
"It's really fake... but it looks so real, so magical."
Viscount Pompey, who was not far away, glanced at his wife with concern.
"Is that really a fake snake?"
"Yes, Binoz has checked it."
Mrs. Pompey explained.
"And Mr. Jack is a scholar, not a lunatic. No one would carry a poisonous snake in his pocket."
As she spoke, she turned her attention back to Chen Lun.
This black-haired young man has a kind of charm when he teaches, no wonder his daughter Rebecca likes him.
Chen Lun talked about every part of the venomous snake one by one, as well as its habits and origins.
Rebecca looked at him with realization and admiration.
She had never attended a class so seriously. Although she didn't like this knowledge, she remembered it firmly after hearing Chen Lun's words.
What she didn't see was that when Chen Lun unnoticeably stuffed the "fake snake" into his pocket, it "accidentally" fell onto the lawn.
Like a drop of green water falling into the green ocean, disappearing without a trace.
This scene was also not noticed by Binoz and Viscount and Viscount Pompey.
"Let it check out the situation in the backyard first..."
Chen Lun thought.
"Hey! Watch out!!"
Suddenly everyone heard a loud shout.
Chen Lun looked up and saw a brown horse rushing out from the other end of the garden.
It ran wildly and recklessly, followed by a servant who was desperately chasing it.
"ah!!"
Rebecca screamed.
Viscount and Viscount Pompey and Butler Binoz were all shocked.
Because they saw that the horse rushed ! If it was hit, Rebecca's life would definitely be in danger!
"Stop it!"
Viscount Pompey roared.
But it was too late.
With a loud ping-pong sound, the horse knocked over tables and chairs, knocked over the parasol, and then hit Rebecca.
BANG!!
After a muffled sound, there was dead silence.
“Rebecca!”
The Pompeys ran over quickly.
The fallen parasol blocked their view and way, so they had to go around to the back.
Their hearts were pounding, fearing the sight of their daughter's bloody body.
But what came into view was Mr. Jack standing aside, supporting Rebecca, and the corpse of a horse lying on the ground with blood foaming from its mouth.
"Oh, thank goodness you're okay, Rebecca."
Mrs. Pompey stepped forward nervously and hugged Rebecca.
"Thanks for the protection of the sun."
"No, Mom, you should thank Mr. Jack. He saved me."
Rebecca was surprisingly not panicked and spoke calmly to Mrs. Pompey.
Her words were also heard by Viscount Pompey and Butler Binoz, and they all looked at Chen Lun in surprise.
A "thin" young man tamed a runaway horse?
What a joke!
They just thought that Chen Lun pulled Rebecca to avoid the collision at the critical moment, and the horse happened to fall down suddenly.
That's the only way it can be explained.
"The horse was given something strange that caused it to go insane and eventually die of a ruptured heart."
Chen Lun squatted down and examined the horse carcass before explaining, which made them more certain of their guess.
Only Rebecca knew that it was indeed Mr. Jack who subdued Crazy Horse and saved her.
At that critical moment, she opened her eyes wide in fear and saw Mr. Jack step forward and stand in front of her.
He just stretched out a hand and slapped Crazy Horse to the ground like slapping a fly.
After she woke up, she couldn't believe it.
Is he an angel?
No!
He is my knight!
Chen Lun quietly made a hushing gesture to Rebecca, who winked knowingly.
Don't worry, Mr. Jack!
This is our secret!
"What's wrong with this horse!?"
Viscount Pompey frowned and questioned the late servant.
"My Lord Viscount, I...I am not sure either."
Looking at Viscount Pompey's dangerous eyes, the butler swallowed.
"In fact, it went berserk once some time ago, but I don't know the exact reason."
"When did this happen?"
The butler glanced at Rebecca.
"The last time Miss Rebecca secretly rode it to school..."
Viscount Pompey frowned.
The last time Rebecca broke her leg, was it because the horse went crazy?
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Rebecca only broke her leg last time.
Viscount Pompey suddenly realized that it seemed a little inappropriate for him to think this way, but he didn't care too much.
Then he asked with a straight face:
"Where did this horse come from?"
"Yes, Lord Viscount, you brought it back from Baron Barney's house!"
Viscount Pompey's face froze.
He remembered that he had asked for the horse from his good friend Barney.
Damn it!
