Chapter 21: care

When I got home, I saw many people standing at the door from a distance. When Danni drove her horse to the front, she found that it was the duke and his wife and many knights.
Bran asked, "What's the situation?"
"do not know."
So under the gaze of everyone, the duo of idiots rushed to the crowd, Bran raised his small hand and waved, shouting like a leader reviewing: "Hello everyone."
The Duke stroked his forehead, feeling in his heart that the name of this bear kid's idiot might be retained for life, and said: "You come down and speak first."
The Grand Knight Aisha took a few steps forward and reached out to hug Bran from the horse. Without the burden in her arms, Dany also jumped off her horse. Then when the two stood in front of the Duke with idiotic faces, the Duke had no choice but to say: "We are here to congratulate you on moving into your new home."
Seeing that she was still ignorant of Bran, the Duchess had to squat down and explain in a low voice: "This is the custom of the Northland. Everyone here has gifts to give you."
Bran subconsciously asked: "Don't you give it away for nothing?"
Amidst the unbearable laughter nearby, the lady's face turned red, and she patted Bran lightly. Then he looked up and told Dani to open the door and let everyone in. Then he noticed the two rabbits and pheasant hanging on the horseback behind Dany, and the lady's face seemed to be redder.
When a customer comes to the door, someone will naturally have to serve tea and pour water, but Bran and Danny are totally unprepared. Fortunately, the small manor owned by Bran is large enough to put down these people. There are also dozens of long square tables and chairs scattered on the first floor. The knights put these tables and chairs together, and then Start a bonfire.
At this time, Bran and Dany, who were the hosts, became spectators instead. They looked at the busy people around and began to habitually in a daze, which made the Duke and his wife who noticed them sighed together.
Although Northlanders are rough, they do not mean they are really stupid, but they have their own unique habits in their behavior. So everyone knows Bran’s current situation. When he comes over, he will bring some drinks and meat with him, but he never expected that the idiot didn’t have any preparations...
Bran whispered to Dani who was next to him: "Should I record what they gave? It will be convenient to return later."
Dany rolled her eyes and said, "No, the Northlanders don't want this, so they will send it out." After a pause, she emphasized again, "We want to send it, so we send it."
"Why didn't you remind me that there is still such a good thing in Northland."
Dany rolled her eyes again: "Given your situation in the castle, who would have thought that someone would give you gifts?"
"That's right. So what's the situation?"
"The sword you repaired may make these people very satisfied. A good side weapon is the life of the Northlanders. They want to give you something back."
"Oh."
...
Armor is the life of a samurai. The son of a duke is nothing, let alone a son of some idiots. Even the son of a duke who can make high-quality swords is not a big deal, but a character who can make and repair all kinds of swords with high quality and efficiency quickly, even if he is a man. Idiots, then will be treated as treasures by all Northlanders.
Although this kid is indeed a bit idiot, the knights in the castle basically know that this kid doesn't remember people. His ability to distinguish people is probably his family, serving Danny, and then the knight. The unique temperament formed by a group of Northland knights who have been killing for a long time cannot be ignored by anyone, but this child seems to only remember that they are knights. At present, the only person who is remembered by this child is Aisa who often deals with him because of taking the lead in building his territory. But judging from the child's attitude, how long he can remember is also a question...
This child who looks a little silent and is used to being in a daze is surprisingly easy to deal with. For the knights' requests, they are almost responsive, at least in terms of handling weapons. Even if it could not be done at the time, the child will explain when he has time, or if your request is currently behind others, and then take out a notebook to record your name, when the previous knight's request is completed , He will let this knight inform the next one by the way. Then, when they meet again, the child will face the name on the book seriously, staring at your face and asking, are you so-and-so? Once a knight joked, the two exchanged imposters, and then the child still had a serious face and pretended to exchange. This dumbfounding thing has spread throughout the castle.
The most important feature of this child, and what the knights like most, is that he is generous, and to be straightforward is heartless. Aisa accidentally asked why Bran would give a single sword to Dany. Bran's answer was "I like her." Aisa asked again, why did you agree to repair my sword and make a new weapon. Bran's answer was: "You don't annoy me."; then do you know the value of these swords? Bran replied: "It's priceless."
Everything shows that the child is not quite dumb. But doesn't it mean that this kid actually has some problems? Shouldn't we try to exchange at equal value? I don't know the equivalent exchange, wouldn't the duke and his wife tell you? Won't your attendant tell you? But Bran still went his own way. In this way, many knights took advantage of a child, and there were still some idiot children.
...
People from the North will not owe favors easily. Today everyone is taking advantage of this opportunity to make some compensation for this child. Therefore, Bran received some gifts today, six and a half white wolves, several horses, and a pair of snow falcons. After that, someone will transport fodder, food, fuel and other materials, which finally rescued Bran from the crisis of famine. Some gifts will be delivered one after another, but this is a few sheep, a few cows and so on, and perhaps a few more white wolves, horses and snow falcons will be added. These were sent one after another according to the distance of the knights.
When a white wolf reaches adulthood, its body length can reach more than 2 meters. The horse in the north is tall, hardworking, not afraid of cold and heat, and not picky about forage. The snow falcon is huge and has almost no natural enemies. This is a pair of eyes in the sky. With these three-piece suits, Bran finally has the feeling of being a successful person in the North.
The Northland is in a state of half hunting and half animal husbandry, and the iron smelting industry is also very developed. Horses, white wolves, and snow falcons are the specialties of the Northland, and they are also indispensable partners of the Northlanders, whether it is hunting or grazing. Although Northland iron smelting is well-developed, it only meets its own needs and is basically not sold outside. This is inseparable from the tradition of Northland people who regard weapons as life. These are also symbols of the wealth of the Northlanders.
...
Bran was very satisfied with the knights when Bran stood at his door and waved his little hand to bid farewell. No matter what these knights think, in fact, there is nothing wrong with exchanging such things. What is precious in the eyes of others may be a simple task in yourself. Human relations are a long-lasting matter, so you can't make extravagant expectations. Slowly communicate with each other, slowly understand, and slowly accept each other.
