Chapter 224 Taka? Star?
Chapter 224 Taka? Star?
"Don't you need someone to accompany you? Don't think too much, I'm just worried that you'd get lost," the shopkeeper called out to Zengjun.
"No need, I can do it myself. If I pick more, I will pay you," Zengjun said and walked towards the orchard.
The reason why Zengjun wanted to go to the orchard was very simple. He felt that the man called Taka by the shopkeeper might be the wanted Sta. This was just Zengjun's sixth sense.
If not, I could also take Pingyi for a walk and buy some fresh fruits, which would be nice.
Zengjun pushed open the back door, and a large orchard and vegetable garden appeared in front of him.
Zengjun looked over and saw that Sita was pulling up cabbages with all his strength. The roots of the cabbages were deep in the soil, so he had to work extra hard to pull them up.
The weather today is also pretty good. The black soil, coupled with the various fruits and vegetables grown with magic, make this vast land always full of vitality.
Zengjun stepped over the low fence and walked towards Sita who was still pulling cabbages.
"Hey!" At this moment, Sta was facing away from Zengjun, his feet supporting his hands as he stretched them backwards, and he did not notice anyone coming.
Zengjun came behind him and said nothing, just looked at him while pulling the cabbages.
Sta tried to turn around and get the cabbage out, and when he turned, he saw Zengjun watching him.
Zengjun and Sta looked at each other for a second, and then Sta continued to pull the cabbage he wanted to pull with disdain.
Sta's contempt made Zengjun more convinced that he was the wanted second prince, Sta.
"What's your name?" Zengjun asked Sta, with a faint breeze blowing behind him.
"Taka" Sita also pulled out the last cabbage he wanted and threw it into the basket. His tone was very frivolous, with an air of nobility. It seemed that he had not completely abandoned his previous life in the palace.
Then Star walked towards the kitchen with the basket in his right hand.
Zengjun stepped back a few steps to make way for Sta to leave.
Sita was carrying the cabbages and walking towards the kitchen. When he passed by Zengjun, he didn't even look at him. At this moment, he thought that Zengjun was just an ordinary person with a little money, just less arrogant.
But Sta thought that he was once a member of the elf tribe with noble royal blood flowing in his veins. At the same time, as the second prince of the tribe, he had no reason to look at Chou Zengjun in the eye.
Zengjun looked at Sita who was gradually going away, and walked towards the orchard, because he knew that Sita would come over to pick some of the fruits in a while.
While Zengjun was leaving with Sta, he also started to analyze the situation.
"He said his name was Taka, and the shop owner called him that, too. But I could tell he was deliberately hiding his real name. At the same time, the aura he exuded showed that he was at least a big landlord."
Zengjun touched his chin with his right hand, "Since I was born in a good family, how could I end up in this place, and why was I left here just because of a meal?"
There are only two situations in which a nobleman can become an ordinary person. One is that he goes bankrupt and has to lower his living standards in order to survive.
The second type is to pretend to be poor just for a little entertainment.
Zengjun recalled Star's reluctant expression just now, 'It is obvious that he is bankrupt. If he pretends to be poor, he can leave immediately if he is dissatisfied. If he is really poor, he will have to do it even if he is reluctant.'
Therefore, Zengjun’s current conclusion is that Taka is not his real name, and he was at least once a nobleman.
As for the remaining details, Zeng Jun didn't get much. As of now, this is all he can get. After all, we can't say that he is Sta just because Zeng Jun thinks he is Sta. We need evidence, but the useful information at present is limited after all.
Zeng Jun could only get these two pieces of information from what he had just learned. At this moment, he suspected that he was the fugitive prince, Sta.
So Zengjun stood under an apple tree, waiting for Taka to return, or rather, waiting for Sta.
Zengjun looked at the back door in the distance, and soon, Sta appeared in his eyes as expected.
Sta crossed the fence and walked straight towards Zengjun. He was not coming for Zengjun, but for the orchard where Zengjun was.
Si Ta looked at Zeng Jun who was standing next to the apple tree. In Si Ta's eyes, Zeng Jun was also looking at him.
Star walked on the relatively dry and hard mud, coming towards Zengjun. When Star saw Zengjun, he felt something was wrong, 'Is he coming for me? This prince is wanted now, but based on the wanted portrait, there is no reason to think it is me, right? '
Star continued to walk with doubts, getting closer and closer to Zengjun, which made Star feel more and more that something was wrong. "If he didn't come here for me, then he should have come here to pick some fruits or something to taste. There is no reason for him to stand here and look at me. Is he enjoying the cool air?"
Seeing Sta getting closer and closer, Zengjun said, "Hi, nice to see you again, Taka."
Star picked up a long stick leaning against the apple tree. The top of the stick was in the shape of a "Y", which he used to twist down the apple branches so that he didn't have to climb the tree.
Star held a long stick and looked up to find an apple to pick. He also answered Zengjun by the way, "It's nice to enjoy the cool here, but it will be cooler inside the house."
Zeng Jun heard what Star said, "Is this a test of my purpose?" Zeng Jun thought.
"No, I'm not here to enjoy the cool air, I'm here to find you," Zengjun said straight to the point.
"Looking for me? What's there to look for in me? I'm just an ordinary elf worker who uses a few gold coins every day to pay off my numerous debts," Sta replied. Now he didn't understand whether giving gifts was good or bad. If he exposed himself, it would be absolutely irrational.
"I want to ask your name again," Zengjun said to Sta who was waving a long stick. It was very obvious what Zengjun said, he was telling Sta: Be honest with my question.
Star said casually, "I guess your memory is not very good. I remember I said it not long ago."
Ping~
An apple was pulled off the branch by Star in a Y-shape. Star then took the long stick and brought down the apple that was stuck on it.
Then Star picked up the apple and handed it to Zengjun, "My name is Taka, this is my name."
After hearing this, Zeng Jun smiled slightly. Zeng Jun also understood that without evidence, how could others admit that they had lied?
So Zengjun took the apple handed to him by Sta and looked at the apple in his hand.
Star continued to repeat the previous operation, swinging the long stick and taking down new apples. Everything was normal.
