Feeling full, Karen sat up from the bed. It was rare that he had nothing to do today. He wanted to go back to bed and read a book after washing up, enjoying this rare laziness.

After all, since I moved into the funeral club, I seem to have been busy in the morning and late. Although I don't need to clock in for work in the church or the funeral club, I can't feel relaxed because of it.

After washing up in the bathroom, there was a knock on the bedroom door:

"Master, Richard is here to see you..."

"Um."

Karen changed her clothes and opened the bedroom door.

"Master, Richard is sitting in the front hall." Alfred pointed to his face.

"I see."

Karen went to the antechamber, the mourning hall of the funeral home, and saw Richard sitting on a small bench.

"Karen, Karen, Karen um~"

After seeing Karen, Richard got up aggrieved and walked towards Karen, like a younger brother who was taught by his parents and then went to his elder brother to cry.

Oh, no, because he was originally his cousin.

Karen took a step back, away from Richard, and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Richard."

"Did you go to the pigsty last night and was polluted?"

"Forehead…"

Richard's face was as swollen as a pig's head.

Karen used to think it was an exaggerated rhetorical technique, but today he finally understood that it was a line drawing.

"I was beaten by my dad. Hey, when I got home yesterday and saw my dad, I gave him the dim sum made by my mother and asked him: Dad, do you want to eat dim sum? Guess what he did next?"

"Don't guess, I've seen it."

"My dad's condition is getting worse, Karen, do you know how badly she beat me last night, he slapped himself first, then slapped me, punched himself, then punched me, Finally, I take the belt and draw it back and forth.

At that time, I was really afraid that my dad would get angry and beat me to death. "

"Don't worry, it won't, and it's a good sign that your dad is taking the initiative to release his emotions."

"Good sign?"

"Well, if you take a few more beatings, his condition should be greatly relieved."

"What is this, a new type of treatment?"

"Well, it's a very good treatment, the only side effect is probably a little bit expensive."

"I can't hold it anymore, he won't let me run even if I run, and uses spells to catch me and imprison me."

"That's really too much."

"No."

"Come on, look, go out from here, a few kilometers to the north, there is an inner street, there is a clinic inside, many gangsters will go there for treatment when they are injured, the doctors in that clinic are very experienced in your injuries .”

"I have applied the ointment, my mother gave it to me, but it will take some time for the swelling to go down, no, why do you ask me to go to the clinic now, I'm here to see you, you should ask me if I had breakfast now."

"Sometimes, deliberately refusing to answer is a kind of tactful refusal."

"Karen, are we brothers!"

It's really hard for Karen to deny this question, although he knows that the brother in Richard's mouth is an adjective.

"Okay, I didn't eat breakfast either, follow me into the kitchen."

"Why, you want to do it yourself?"

"Um."

Karen led Richard into the kitchen and ordered two bowls of Yangchun noodles.

Seeing Karen holding the chopsticks, Richard picked up the chopsticks curiously, forked a roll of noodles and put it into his mouth, chewing while saying:

"It tastes good, do you have miso?"

"No."

"A little lighter."

"There's chilli noodles."

"Okay, come on."

While eating noodles, Richard originally wanted to continue telling Karen about his tragic experience last night, but Karen took out a notebook that recorded spells and read it while eating.

"Grandpa taught me that when learning any spell, you must concentrate, concentrate on it, and don't have the slightest distraction."

"That's what your grandfather did to you."

"Is there any difference? Isn't the truth the same?"

"Everyone has different talents."

"You mean I'm stupid?"

"Not as stupid as you, but compared to me, it doesn't seem so smart."

"Okay, I can see it, are you happy to see me being beaten like this?"

"Congratulations, you finally found out."

"Hmph, not enough friends at all, no empathy."

"You were beaten by your father, not someone else. Why, if you are a friend, you have to go home with you with a sword and help you kill your father?"

"That's not necessary, he is my father after all, and he was beaten pretty badly by myself."

"After breakfast, what are you going to do?"

"I'm here as your guest, why, don't you welcome me?"

"What about presents?"

"Um...it's too early, I didn't buy it before the store opened."

"It's okay, it's the same as leaving some coupons."

"Oh, Karen, how could you!"

"Okay, I'm going to the study, and you, you can sit in the yard to bask in the sun. Forget it, turn it around, you go to the study and sit, I'm in the yard, I'm afraid that leaving you outside will scare people .”

"I want to talk to you about yesterday's mission, Karen, how did you find out that the captain is not real?"

"Just pay more attention to the details."

"It's that simple?"

"Well, it's that simple."

"Don't be so perfunctory to me, okay?"

Karen stood up, walked to the study room, stood in front of the bookshelf and began to choose books. Finally, he pulled out a book called "The Abandonment of the Father".

Richard also came in at this time, and took a copy of "The Scared Frog" from the bookshelf.

Just as Karen was about to walk out of the study to the yard, Richard immediately stopped him: "Hey, hey, let's sit in the study together, okay? I won't bother you, absolutely not."

"Then you have to wear a mask."

"Don't go too far Karen, my father hurt my body last night, and you hurt my mind today."

In the end Karen didn't go to the yard, but sat down behind the desk, and Richard sat down contentedly in another chair.

Alfred came in and served snacks and tea.

Then Karen went into reading mode, and so did Richard, who seemed to have a lively and cheerful temper, but could sink down when needed.

After reading it, it took nearly four hours. The book is not thick, and Karen is about to read it to the end. The book tells the story of a father and three children living in isolation in the mountains.

The father originally disliked everything in the city, thinking that those things were poisoning people's hearts. In order to keep his three children pure, he chose to take his three children to live in seclusion in the mountains and live a life almost like a savage. A remake of Robinson Crusoe.

After living in the mountains for many years, his father became more and more confused and painful. Looking at the three children who were growing up, he felt more and more guilt in his heart. The pure life he thought was in the eyes of the children. In fact, there is no sense of existence at all, because the children have forgotten the "dirtyness" of the city, because they don't know the dirtyness, so purity seems meaningless.

It ended with the father taking the three children to a lumberjack camp and begging to take them in.

He himself chose to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff. Before committing suicide, he said: Go back to the city to live. Gradually, you will realize the purity that I have brought to you.

After reading this book, Karen frowned slightly. He didn't quite understand what the author wanted to express, and it was a bit messy, but the author's description of the details of the jungle life was very good, giving people a deep sense of substitution.

As for how to evaluate and substitute the role of "father", Karen is too lazy to analyze it, because he has to make lunch, after all, this is Richard's first visit to him.

Lunch consisted of three dishes and one soup. Karen made the taste stronger, and Richard ate it with relish.

"I thought your family liked light food." Karen looked at Richard who was devouring it and laughed.

"That's what my grandma likes. What she likes, we all have to like it, at least, it looks like it."

"So, people in your family are very afraid of your grandma?"

"It's about the same. Our younger generation is better. My grandpa should be the one who is most afraid of grandma."

"hehe."

At the end of lunch, Karen originally thought that Richard could go back, but he didn't seem to take the initiative to say goodbye. He didn't finish the book for a while, and then asked what he could eat for dinner.

"Have you come to my place to say hello to your family?"

"No."

"Then I suggest you call your family now. I'm afraid your family members are worried that you won't be able to think about it today after being beaten up last night."

"It's impossible. My family will never think that I will be overwhelmed, but I still decided to make a phone call."

Karen picked up an orange and leaned against the door as she peeled it, watching Richard on the phone.

"Well, yes, it's me, father." Richard's expression suddenly collapsed, and it was his father who answered the phone, which he did not expect, because at home, his father almost never answered the phone.

"I'm here with Karen."

"We've had lunch."

"Okay, Father, I see."

Richard hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and said to Karen, "Help me, my dad told me to go home, and told me not to disturb your rest here."

"Your father was right."

"Help me, Karen, I'm afraid I'll be beaten again when I go back."

"Look, your father took the initiative to answer the phone, which proves that your call yesterday was useful, didn't it?"

"Eh... You're so stupid, I'm so tangled up."

"Go back, your father needs you very much now."

Richard raised his **** to Karen. Karen didn't care, and put a piece of orange into his mouth. Watching Richard leave, Karen stretched himself, and finally could enjoy the holiday. He decided to take a nap first. .

Walking into the bedroom, Karen saw that Pu'er was interrogating Kevin, Kevin was curled up in the corner, and Pu'er was aggressive.

Karen's entry interrupted the process, and Kevin cast a look at Karen for help, but Karen, who was watching the moon with him last night, did not respond to this today.

Pu'er turned to look at Karen, and asked, "Has that cousin of yours gone back?"

"Well, I'm going back, I'm going to take a bath and then take a nap."

"Then I'll continue to interrogate the stupid dog in another place?"

"No, you can interrogate here."

"Will it affect your rest?"

"I just want to lie down, it doesn't matter if I can sleep or not."

Karen walked into the bathroom, filled the bathtub, and sat in it.

Pu'er shouted at the door: "Do you want me to call in your big **** to rub your back?"

"Okay, call her in."

"Hmph, dreaming." Pu'er stuck out her tongue at the door of the bathroom, then turned to look at Kevin who was trying to sneak out of the bedroom, and shouted: "Stupid dog, stop, where are you going!"

Karen originally wanted to soak for a while and go back to bed, but Pu'er's "interrogation" of Kevin was in full swing in the bedroom, so Karen didn't bother to bother, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in the bathtub.

The sleep is very light, but very comfortable, not for the purpose of replenishing energy, but simply enjoying the beauty of sleep.

Before I knew it, I soaked in the bathtub for nearly two hours. After Karen woke up, no accident, although I turned off the tap a long time ago, the water in the bathtub was still warm.

Getting up from the bathtub, scrubbing herself, changing clothes, and standing in front of the mirror, Karen could clearly feel that she was full of energy.

This can't help but remind him of his life in Allen Manor. For a while, he just played ball every day, took a bath, and then slept in the big warm bedroom.

If he didn't have to ride horses with Eunice every afternoon, he wouldn't have to leave the bedroom door all day, anyway, the servants would bring food and drink in.

But just as described in the book I read in the morning, if you don’t know dirty, you don’t know what is pure, and if you don’t have a fulfilling and busy life as a premise, you can’t know what real rest is.

Walking out of the bathroom and entering the bedroom, Karen saw the maid Heely squatting in front of her, and she was serving Pu'er afternoon tea.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Xili didn't turn around, but just turned her head: "Master, do you want afternoon tea?"

"No."

"What about the fruit? Master, would you like some?"

"No more."

Pu'er said, "He wants to eat big peaches."

Hilly's face turned red and stiff for a while, and the hand holding the coffee began to tremble.

"Is this the first day you heard me say, be normal, don't spill the coffee, do you know how expensive this coffee is, do you know how hard it is for Karen in our family to make money to support the family!"

"Yes, yes, my fault, my fault." Xili immediately admitted her mistake to Pu'er.

Karen lay down on the bed.

Xili stabilized her mind and continued to squat to help Pu'er prepare snacks and fruit plates.

Pu'er took a sip of coffee, ate another grape, spit out the seeds, and said to Xili:

"He's watching, raise it higher, raise it higher."

Hilly didn't stand or not for a while.

Karen picked up the "Weekly Order" on the bedside table, and said while reading the newspaper: "Don't take it to heart, this cat has been in heat recently."

"It's okay, master." Healy responded immediately with a smile. After preparing everything for the afternoon tea, she stood up holding the tray, opened the door, walked out of the bedroom, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Karen turned a page of the newspaper and said to Pu'er, "Don't bully people all the time."

"Why, do you feel bad?"

"She is just an ordinary person with limited mental capacity."

"Then you just give her a salary increase. Her psychological endurance is linked to her salary."

"Then deduct it from your meal allowance."

"Oh, you wouldn't do that, how much can a cute kitty eat in a day."

"Your cat's food expenses are worth all the rest of the family combined. Did you buy your coffee beans with coupons?"

"Well... the radio goblin agrees, these coffee beans are actually not expensive, last time when you stayed up late to study the refrigerator, the radio goblin specially bought them to refresh the stupid dog and me.

Besides, if the pets in the family eat well, it means that the family is living a good life. This is a good sign, isn't it, stupid dog? "

Kevin, who was eating fried meatballs, raised his head:

"Wow!"

Karen continued to read the newspaper. To his surprise, up to now, the Weekly Order continued to report on two ordinary people. One was the mayor of Slower, John Rotini. In the photo, he was sitting In the convertible, he kept waving to his supporters;

The other is Mr. Luther, who is still continuing to organize his purple-haired rights protection movement. In the photo, he is clenching his fists and giving a passionate speech.

Karen remembered that the Weekly Order had been reporting on the two of them for a long time. How could there be so much room for two ordinary people in the religious circle? It's just that Karen couldn't figure out the purpose of paying attention to the two of them for a while. What.

If you just want to support a new political figure or promote a rights defense movement, with the power of the Cult of Kosmos, you can do it very easily without such a roundabout way.

At this time, Pu'er had finished her afternoon tea, jumped onto the bed, and said to Karen:

"Karen, if you mastered the power of time, what would you like to do?"

"I have nothing to do."

"Do you have no regrets in your life?"

"It's not a pity, but Diss should be useful."

"Too."

"What about you, what would you do if you mastered the power of time?"

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. Although I've been a cat for so long, when I think about it carefully, I don't think it's a pity to live in Inmeles' house."

At this time, there was a knock on the bedroom door:

"Master, your captain's phone number."

Karen remembered that the captain would come to him if he was free yesterday or today, and he would call himself in advance to notify him.

After getting up, Karen went to the study to answer the phone.

"Hey, captain, it's me."

"I beat up the deputy director, although I knew he was innocent because he was only responsible for delivering the task, and he himself didn't know what the task was."

"It's a good beating, at least my heart is happy."

"Well, you're right, after beating him, I feel much better.

However, the deputy director told me another piece of good news, we will have a new mission soon, and the rewards for this mission are more generous than before. "

"What mission?"

"My church is going to negotiate post-war compensation with the Reincarnation Sect on Dark Moon Island, and the Chief Bishop of York City as one of the local representatives of the Sect~lightnovelpub.net~ went to Dark Moon Island to join the negotiating team.

Therefore, there is a security team quota in the entire York City region. This is a real high-reward mission, which is much higher than our previous two security mission rewards, and we can meet real high-level gods. After all, we **** The chief bishop is in the last row of the delegation.

However, it was not our turn to do such a good task, and we were not assigned to take it on, but suddenly, the team that was originally assigned to it was abolished, and we were suddenly nominated to take it up. Before that , I didn't have any hope for this task at all, and I didn't run for it. "

"Is it luck?"

"No, no, no, it's not luck, because I heard from the deputy director who was beaten up by me just now, what he knows is:

There is a great person above who specially spoke for our team and praised us. "

"..." Karen.
