Chapter 57 Baron Barney’s horse died
Early the next morning.
Chen Lun left the small manor without eating breakfast.
——Because the food from last night has not been digested yet.
"It feels good to go to work in a carriage."
Chen Lun sighed with emotion on the carriage.
The roads in the inner city are very smooth and there are no bumps. It feels much better than riding a horse-drawn carriage before.
Soon the carriage arrived at the gate of Pompeii Manor.
Chen Lun told the coachman to come back and wait here at night.
The coachman nodded, bowed, and then drove away in the carriage.
There was a maid at the door who had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Chen Lun getting off the carriage, she opened the door a little distance for him to enter.
The door was so heavy that it was a bit difficult for the maid to open it all.
"Mr. Jack, Viscount Pompeii is having breakfast. He said that if you come early, you can join him."
Walking to the door of the villa, Binoz said to Chen Lun.
"No, I've eaten. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Viscount, Steward Binoz."
Chen Lun nodded and replied politely.
"Then please wait in the living room for a moment. Miss Rebecca's nature 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 at the environment here boredly.
There are many framed paintings hanging on the walls, mostly oil paintings.
I don’t know whether it was liked by people of this era or because of Viscount Pompeii’s own preferences.
Just after nine o'clock, Chen Lun heard a rapid rolling sound of wheels.
Rebecca pushed the wheelchair alone and came to him.
"Huh... Good morning! Mr. Jack!"
She looked very excited, and her clothes and makeup seemed to have been deliberately 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 she saw Rebecca taking off her white lace gloves first, then handed her hand over with a swipe.
He was stunned for a moment, and then saw Rebecca blushing and looking at him expectantly.
"You look beautiful today, but your 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?
Will it be too pungent?
"Ahem!"
Madame Pompeii coughed twice and strode over.
"Good morning, Madame Pompeii."
"Good morning, Mr. Jack."
After greeting each other in a friendly way, Mrs. Pompeii said to Chen Lun:
"When I heard you were coming, Rebecca didn't even finish her breakfast, so she pushed her wheelchair here."
As he said that, 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 with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"In that case, can we start today's class?"
"Yeah!"
Rebecca nodded, ignoring her mother watching from the side, and pushed the wheelchair and ran out.
When the old housekeeper Binoz saw this, he quickly followed her, fearing that she would trip on the steps when she left the door.
Ten minutes later.
Chen Lun sat on a chair under an umbrella and told Rebecca some of his views on nature.
To be honest, he actually feels very touched about this aspect.
Whether it is the experience of exploring the map alone in the past, or the understanding after becoming a [Beast Tamer].
"...animals are an integral part of nature, look at this snake."
He pointed at a poisonous snake on the table and started talking.
Rebecca had long been pale with fright, huddled in the chair, and did not dare to move.
The green scales glistened in the sunlight, and the small body was curled up in a ball, raising its little head to stare at her.
"It...it's staring at me!"
Rebecca said with a trembling voice.
"Oh no, this is just a fake snake. As I said, it's just a prop."
Chen Lun grabbed the poisonous snake and put it in his hand.
"You see, it won't bite. Don't be afraid, Miss Rebecca, come and feel it."
"Ah!"
Chen Lun grabbed Rebecca's hand and gently placed it on the viper.
Cool and full of texture.
Rebecca slowly opened her eyes, a surprised expression gradually appeared on her face.
"It's true...but it looks so lifelike, so magical."
Viscount Pompeii, who was not far away, glanced at his wife beside him worriedly.
"Is that really a fake snake?"
"Yes, Binoz has checked it out."
Madam Pompeii explained.
"And Mr. Jack is a scholar, not a madman. No one would put a poisonous snake in his pocket."
As she spoke, she turned her attention to Chen Lun again.
This dark-haired young man has a charm when he lectures. It's no wonder that his daughter Rebecca likes him.
Chen Lun explained each part of the venomous snake one by one, as well as its habits and origins.
Rebecca showed a look of surprise and admiration.
She had never taken a class so seriously. Although she didn't like the knowledge, she remembered it firmly in her heart after hearing it from Chen Lun's mouth.
But what she didn't see was that when Chen Lun stuffed the "fake snake" into his pocket without leaving a trace, it "accidentally" fell to the lawn.
Like a drop of green water, it fell into the green ocean and disappeared without a trace.
This scene was also not noticed by Binoz and Viscount Pompeii.
"Let him check the situation in the backyard first..."
Chen Lun thought to himself.
"Hey! Watch out!!"
Everyone suddenly heard a shout.
Chen Lun looked up and saw a brown horse rushing out from the other end of the garden.
It ran wildly and rampantly, followed by a manservant who was chasing after him.
"Ah!!"
Rebecca screamed.
The Viscount Pompeii and his wife and Butler Binoz were both shocked.
Because they saw that the horse rushed directly towards where the parasol was! Rebecca's life would definitely be in danger if she was hit!
"Stop it!"
Viscount Pompeii roared.
But it was too late.
With a loud ping-pong sound, the horse knocked over tables and chairs, knocked down parasols, and then hit Rebecca.
Bang! !
After a muffled sound, there was dead silence.
"Rebecca!"
The Pompeii couple hurried over.
The fallen parasol blocked their view and path, so they had to move around to the back.
Their hearts were beating wildly, for fear of seeing their daughter's bloody state.
But what caught his eye was Mr. Jack standing aside supporting Rebecca, and the body of a horse vomiting blood and lying on the ground.
"Oh, thank God Rebecca is fine."
Madame Pompeii nervously stepped forward and hugged Rebecca.
"Thank you to the sun for its protection."
"No, Mom, you should thank Mr. Jack, he saved me."
Rebekah, surprisingly not alarmed, spoke calmly to Madam Pompeii.
Her words were also heard by Viscount Pompeii and Butler Binoz, who all looked at Chen Lun in surprise.
A "skinny" young man subdues 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 die suddenly and fell.
Only in this way can it be explained.
"The horse was given something strange, which caused it to fall into madness, and finally died of a broken heart."
Chen Lun knelt down and inspected the horse corpse and explained, which made them more confident in their guess.
Only Rebecca knew that it was indeed Mr. Jack who subdued Crazy Horse and saved her.
At that critical moment, her eyes widened in fear, and she saw Mr. Jack step forward and block her in front of her.
He just stretched out a hand and swatted Crazy Horse to the ground like 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 hissing gesture towards Rebecca, who blinked knowingly.
Don't worry, Mr. Jack!
This is our secret!
"What's going on with this horse!?"
Viscount Pompeii asked the belated manservant with a sullen face.
"Lord Viscount, I...I'm not sure."
Seeing the dangerous look in Viscount Pompeii's eyes, the manservant swallowed.
“Actually, it was violent once some time ago, but I don’t know the specific reason.”
"When did it happen?"
The footman glanced at Rebecca.
"The last time Miss Rebecca secretly rode it to school..."
Viscount Pompeii frowned.
The last time Rebecca broke her leg, was it because the horse went crazy?
He couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately Rebecca only broke her leg last time.
Viscount Pompeii suddenly realized that it seemed inappropriate to think so, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Then he asked with a straight face:
"Where did this horse come from?"
"Yes, you brought it back from Baron Barney's house, Lord Viscount!"
Viscount Pompeii's face froze.
He remembered that he had asked for this horse from his friend Barney.
Damn it! Thanks to the beauties - Zui, Ming and ____ Zhiyi for their 1 monthly ticket!

Happy Children’s Day, beauties!
