Chapter 33 12. Three Hagrids

Dating back to the surname "Hagrid" was associated with spring water, about four hundred years ago. The Hagrid of that generation was called Maurice, Maurice Hagrid, and he was a hereditary baronet.He in the portrait also has blue eyes and a big beard. In France at that time, it was difficult for you to find the richest nobleman, but it was easy for you to find the poorest nobleman, and nine out of ten would be Morris. One thousand meters above the Little Maoya Mountain, he has a small territory, three villages and a stone house that is strong enough—compared with other houses on the territory, it can still be called a castle.

No one knows how his territory is divided: looking at the current Lake Berge from the mountain, but when it comes to the lake, it is another place for nobles; the snow on the mountain melts in spring and will go straight down the mountain, but the spring water Converging into a stream, the stream turns into a small river, but it flows down the northeast of Kitty Yashan.Look how unlucky Maurice is, even snow water has to go around his place.The person who occupies the northeast side of the Kitten Ya Mountain is named Bopan, Viscount Bopan. There are no springs on Morris' property, only two wells that often dry up.

Without enough water, the farmers' crops are not growing well, the wheat grows like weeds, the corn kernels are sunken, and the cows and sheep are small and dry. Morris was not an aristocrat who squeezed farmers fiercely, and of course he couldn't squeeze anything out. He only received a small amount of things as land gifts every year: crops, honey, milk, and some apples.In this way, I can barely solve my food and clothing.He dared not go to the parties of the nobles, because there were no decent unpatched robes.He has no women, he has always been alone, which is also understandable, nobles can only marry nobles, who would marry their daughter to Maurice Hagrid who is so poor that he only has a title of knighthood?He even had to walk the dog himself.

He has a good dog, not because it's pretty, or because it's loyal - aren't all dogs like that?That's because it took a good fall at a good time. It was spring, in March of the lunar calendar.Maurice Hagrid looked around for the boss, and finally saw his dog on the edge of a cliff.It must have slid down the cliff, and instead of falling into the valley, was caught by a rock jutting out of the corner.It saw Morris, whined, and begged the owner to save him. Of course Morris would save it, he had no other company. Holding on to the branches, he slowly climbed down the cliff to rescue his dog.He grasped the tree post with one hand, and finally reached his dog with the other hand. As a result, on this cliff that he had never been before, at this dead corner of his own territory, he discovered a strange thing—the dog The place where I was staying, touched it slightly, and a jet of water sprayed out from the crack in the rock.

Morris dragged the dog up, sat on the rock and thought for a long time. The water jet was so strong that it was like the spring of Mobu, so there must be a source of water with great pressure behind the rock. Yes, it is the source of mountain spring water. It's not the energy that the snow melted on the mountain can have.He was extremely excited at the thought of this place, and immediately began to look for an entrance that could approach this water source.Behind a mass of weeds and dead branches he found a cave into which a man could enter with a half-duck.The cold wind came whistling from inside, and the face was wet when it hit, and there was a faint sound of running water coming from inside.This is where the water comes from, and you can't go wrong.

Morris returned to the village without making a sound, and brought a torch himself to check the next day. Sure enough, he saw a gurgling spring in the depths of the cave!Seeing the white foam, he took a sip and found that the water had a slightly sweet taste. This is the spring of Haige Water at an altitude of 1,800 meters. The reason why this place has never been discovered is because of the terrain inside the cave.The entrance is high, and it gets lower and lower as you go inward. The spring water gushes out, flows towards the direction of the cliff, and finally flows out from the cracks in the rocks.On the other side of the cliff, there are stone cliffs, and farmers never come here, so no one has ever discovered this mountain spring.

Morris came here with a few confidant farmers on his own territory, and began to build a canal to divert water down the mountain, leading the spring water to the farm.There was finally water on his property.The fields were gurgling with water, the wheat and corn were filled with slurry, even the beets grew, and the cattle and sheep were fattened.Since that year, the farmers' harvests have been getting better and better, and they can go to the market to sell some money back after leaving the rations.Their land tax finally began to be paid in currency. Master Hagrid also started to save some money, renovated the castle, bought new clothes and horses, he was forty years old, and felt that he should start a family and have a baby.

The woman was sixteen when she became a baroness. She is a descendant of a declining nobleman, with a noble blood but a poor family, otherwise she would not have married the forty-year-old Master Hagrid.But the woman was really beautiful, with fiery red hair, a complexion and smell like honey, a slender waist, and a soft voice, and Master Hagrid was fascinated by her. They gave birth to two girls and a boy, and the family lived and worked in peace and contentment in the fertile territory on Kitten Yashan. They should have lived and worked in peace. Until the baroness attended an aristocratic masquerade held in the city of Chambery under the mountain.She was a mother of three at that time, but still healthy and beautiful, still young, in her twenties, and had just turned from juice to fine wine.

She meets a young man at a ball.He is tall and rich, with a black mask on his face, and his beautiful eyes can be seen. The two danced one dance after another.People are like this, when they think dirty thoughts in their hearts, they speak honestly. She had a tryst with this young man behind Master Hagrid's back. Once or twice, it didn't count if she was addicted, and the two were planning how to be a long-term husband and wife.At night, she looked at Maurice's throat, thinking of her lover, holding the scissors in her hand, and thought to herself, if the scissors were cut off, Maurice would die, and she would never have to suffer from lovesickness again.But if she really killed Morris with the scissors, she would definitely not be able to escape, so she had to find a different way.

The young lover advised her to stay calm, and asked her again: "Do you know that Morris has a good baby?" The woman said, "What treasure does he have? When he married me, the ruby ​​on the ring was no bigger than a grain of rice." "Maurice Hagrid's treasure is his mountain spring. You must first find out where the spring is, and then we will kill him. It will be better if no one notices it." So she started crying with Morris, and they didn't take her to see the spring after being husband and wife for so long. Morris, who likes baked potatoes with cheese, felt that the woman was making a fuss for no reason, and said while eating: "It's in the cave on the edge of the cliff in the back mountain. There are usually two or three people guarding it. If you want to go, you can go and see it yourself. Tomorrow go to Lyons for a week, and see for yourself."

The baroness took the time to inform her lover of this, while her husband was at Lyons.The two met on the back mountain of Kitten Yashan, and found the cave where Maurice Hagrid said. The baroness said to her lover: "Look, only you take this as a treasure. He easily told me where the spring is, and said that it is guarded. Where is there someone? Maybe they all went home to take a nap." The man said, "Go in and have a look." How could the honest Maurice Hagrid lie to his wife?Sure enough, the two found the spring in the cave, and were very happy. At that time, they began to plan how to get rid of Hagrid next, and the lover instructed the baroness to do so. The two stayed in the cave for a while, and suddenly heard a sound from the entrance of the cave, and only then did they feel something was wrong.How can there be such an easy thing in the world?The two panicked a little and ran towards the entrance of the cave.As soon as the man poked his head out, he was hit in the head by a stone falling from the top of the cave. The baroness looked at the bloody head of the lover who was still alive and well just now. He was lying on the ground with his hands and feet twitching. At that time, he collapsed on the ground with fright, and then she saw her husband. Maurice Hagrid didn't go to Lyon, he was here waiting to kill the pair of mandarin ducks. He came down from above, pointed to the dead man and asked the baroness: "Do you know him?" The woman trembled with fear and said, "His name is Rang." "He still has a name," Morris said. "He is the Viscount Bopan from the north of the mountain. He seduced you just to take possession of my water source." The woman cried bitterly, hugged Morris' feet and said: "I was wrong, I was wrong." He said: "You don't have to admit your mistake, you lied to me, that's it, the matter is over." Then he hit the woman's head with a stone and smashed it down. This is Hagrid's first story. After more than a hundred years, Hagrid's spring spouted more and more, and became more and more turbulent. It rushed down from the 1,800-meter-long Maoya Mountain, and merged with the snow water and streams in the mountains to form a river. Because of this spring and this river, Hagrid was truly rich. This Hagrid is called Jiska, Jiska Hagrid, a hereditary baron, a young man who studied mechanics in England, and he opened a sawmill by the river, using the kinetic energy of the river flowing from a high place to pull the saw, He cut good wood and sold it, and he made a lot of money.He built a new castle, expanded his territory, and galloped through his own forest and fields on a tall horse. He is the leader and legend of Chambery. The woman followed the repertory troupe to perform in Chambery. She is not tall, round and strong, with strong arms, waist and chest.In the first appearance, she dressed up as a man, with a headscarf, thick dark circles under the eyes, and a beard. She wore a pair of half-length pants, and black socks covered her thin ankles.This guy beat his wife with a big stick, cursing at the same time: "I let you steal a man, I let you steal a man, you can't steal bread, men steal it so easily. How many times have I told you? Get the bread first." Take off your pants again!" The audience laughed, and so did the Baron, who sat on the bench behind. After a while she came out in women's attire again, with a tall bun, white face, two red spots on her cheeks, walking around the stage with a fan, and pointed her index finger at the men, women and children below the stage : "Still watching a play here? Why don't you go to work for Master Hagrid's sawmill..." Of course she didn't know that Master Hagrid was there at her play, too. After the performance, he went backstage to look for this woman. The laughter and yelling of the actors were intertwined with the smell of sweat and powder.They walked around him, and he didn't see where the woman was for a long time. He suddenly heard a person singing loudly. Jiska went to find the source of the sound, and a girl beside him said, "Don't pay attention to her, she is a little madman." It was the little madman he was looking for. She was wearing a men's shirt and men's trousers, the sleeves and trousers were rolled up, revealing half of her arms and calves, strong and fair.Her hair was short, curly, brown, like a little boy, and while singing, she was busy packing her costume and outfit. When she turned her head, she saw this stranger. The make-up was off her face, and she was either a wife-beater or a coquettish woman, but a pretty girl, a boyish girl. Jiska said: "How many shows will your troupe perform here?" She said: "Tomorrow there will be a show, and I will leave later." "Where is the next stop?" "I don't know." She was talking to him, her hands were still busy, and she stuffed clothes and utensils into the box with a shake, and her movements were so swift, "The boss has the final say, we just focus on the performance." "Do you earn a lot?" "One meal of meat a day." "Do you like meat?" She straightened up and looked at the man who asked such a strange question: "You don't like meat?" Jiska found the owner of the troupe and negotiated with him: "Don't wander around, just stay here and perform for the residents of my place. I will pay you, and I will also take care of your food and lodging. Every meal has Meat." The troupe stayed and did not have to travel for a while. They rehearsed during the day and performed at night, twice a week. They stayed in Chambery from spring to summer. During work breaks, the girls in the troupe said, the weather is too hot, why don't you go swimming? Jiska is a native of the South Coast, a good swimmer, and happily followed the girls. They went there in the evening, and played by the water for a long time. It was dark, and the partners went down the mountain. When they returned to the troupe and began to drink veal soup, they found that the girl was accidentally left behind, very dark. She sang to encourage herself, many beasts and monsters came out of her head, and they came out to hurt people when it was dark, and she once acted as one. Suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes behind her, and she ran down the hill without turning her head, until she was out of breath and fell face down on the ground.The people behind had already caught up with her on horseback, and tapped her on the shoulder with a whip: "Who is it? Someone who stole wood?" She tried her best to pretend to be dead, but the master immediately had a tough temper. With a bang, the whip came down, and the small trees around her all broke.She immediately stood up and replied honestly: "I was swimming in the river. My friends all left, and I went down the mountain by myself. Look at my physique, do you think I can steal wood?" The master smiled, and slowly leaned down from the horse to look at her: "So it's you?" Ah, she knew that face, the guy who asked her if she liked meat, the guy who went to every show. He dragged her onto the horse, put her in his arms and sent her down the mountain, back to the troupe. The boss was taken aback and asked her, "How could it be that Master Hagrid sent you back?" She was taken aback too. How could that handsome, smelling young man be Master Hagrid? Giten always has to go on the road, and the wandering troupe can't always stay in one place. She is finally leaving, looking out from the carriage, seeing Hagrid's castle and the sawmill, and thinking about the relationship between herself and a nobleman in her young heart That absurd fate. The car was stopped suddenly, the man stood in front, and then came to knock on her car window, she opened the window, and Gisca said to her from outside: "Stay here, stay with me." She wasn't surprised. The baron spent a lot of money to buy the title of nobility, and the girl turned into a descendant of the old nobleman, and then a rich baroness.She no longer wears simple and dirty costumes, but only wears the lightest and strongest panniers and the most beautiful skirts. She uses wigs and umbrellas bought from Paris, and the lace is hand-woven by skilled craftsmen.He took her to the fashionable and extravagant salons of Lyon and Paris, and the two were equally popular. Not surprised, she let Jiska look at her palm prints and said to him: "During the show, we once met a group of gypsies. I gave a woman a pear and asked her to tell about my fate." .” He grabbed her hand and looked carefully: "What did she say?" "She said, I will meet an extraordinary man who loves me very, very much. And I have an extraordinary life because of it." he laughed. The spring water is still gushing out. His sawmill business is getting better and better. They had a strong and bright son in the autumn of that year. But the extraordinary fate of this woman did not end here. In the salon they used to attend, a man who wasn't supposed to be there showed up, and when he appeared, everyone had to kneel and kowtow. She looked down and saw the boots of the Sun King Louis XIV. The king put everyone in peace and wished everyone a good evening.The woman raised her head, and the king's gaze rested on her face without moving. The king was also a fun-loving person, and he didn't want to disturb everyone's pleasure. The singing, dancing and games continued, but it was the king himself who invited her to dance.Both husband and wife were startled, and the king said: "May I, Baron?" "Of course." Jiska nodded to the king. The king was more pleasant to the women, and told her jokes while dancing, and she dared not stop laughing. Although they are rich, but the title is not high, why would the king know them? France at this time was granted by the gods, and the Sun King was the god of the sky and the king of France, who could get whatever he wanted.Afterwards, the steward of the palace met Kiska and conveyed the meaning of the king: Hagrid has the best spring and sawmill in the southeast, and Hagrid also has a beautiful wife who made the king fall in love with him at first sight. The king will not put these two things together Take them all by force, and let the baron decide which one to dedicate to the king. The good day was suddenly split by lightning. Jiska came to the cave with the spring in the rainy weather. Is he going to give up the treasure of the family, or is he going to give up his lover? Broken left wrist, or right arm? It's not that he doesn't love her, he married a wandering actor regardless of his status, that's all a nobleman can do.It's just that it's the king who forces him to choose now. He shakes her awake at night and wants to love her all over again. She greeted his body in the darkness, she didn't make a sound at all, only her eyes were bright. In the hands of the Sun King, the woman still retained the title of baroness, but became the beloved king's lover.She died in the fountain of the Apollo statue while the Palace of Versailles was being renovated. Some people say that the baroness committed suicide, some say that she was drunk and slipped, and some say that she was killed by the king. For reasons unknown, her body was transported back to Chambery. From that day on, Hagrid's spring water turned red. This is Hagrid's second story. Another two hundred years have passed.The Hagrid family, once in decline, became rich again after the war. The spring water was no longer used to irrigate the farmland or be used for woodworking. Proven to be one of the best sources of water in the world, long-term drinking will prolong life. There is an additional church on the top of Xiaomaoya Mountain. It is small in scale, but it is well funded and maintained. When the female piano teacher hired for Miss and Young Master was taken to Hagrid's house in a Rolls-Royce, she asked the driver, "Is this church privately funded by Hagrid's family?" The driver said: "Yes, many, many years ago, the water of Haig was red, and it flowed into Lake Berge, dyeing the lake red for a long time. Later, a wandering priest came to check it with the permission of the master. The source of the water, it turned out that a large amount of red sand had accumulated on the spring. After removing the red sand and filtering it out, the spring water became clear again, which is the current Haig water. In order to thank the priest, the owner built a church and The monastery, it was a long time ago that he was left here as a priest. The owner has passed through several generations. The priest has also changed many times." The female teacher smiled slightly as if she had heard a myth. The French are the best at making hype, and the origin of everything is made into legends. She is a Finn and she doesn't agree with it that much. The female teacher is tall and slender, with a pair of blue eyes like the lake in her hometown, with a gentle and pleasant personality, and she is very beautiful when she smiles. She came to this house when the frost turned the leaves all over the mountain red. The master was doing business in Lyon, and only the mistress and two children were at home. The mistress smoked and drank heavily. The children are twelve years old, and none of them are easy to get along with.They fight over ownership of everything, even though they probably don't want it at all, and their mother fights on the phone about getting a new piece of property. The governess endured undisturbed, for reasons she did not know, perhaps for a salary, or because her soul was higher than theirs. One day she was having a piano lesson, and the children were absent-minded beside her, but she was still explaining and interpreting the fingering in detail, and a soft cough came from behind. She stood up and saw the man she had never met before.This one is Philip Hagrid, who has long since lost his title.But he was one of the most successful businessmen in France, turning bottling from scratch into a huge industry.He was in his thirties, very handsome, a good tennis player, and a guest of the president. The piano teacher said: "In Finland, water is not so precious. There are lakes everywhere, and the well water can be drunk. We don't need to drink bottled mineral water." "That's different, it's our family treasure and our coat of arms," ​​Philip said. She treated him neither humble nor overbearing, with a little disapproval in her attitude, and she also ignored his status and wealth.Such neglect fascinates him.He didn't blatantly seduce or plunder, but cared and cared for him in secret.If you send flowers, you can send Finnish daisies, which are small flowers that grow in cold places. They are very pale in color but very beautiful.He called her and said nothing but good night.She was sick and was sent to the hospital. No matter how far away he was, he would visit her every day and say hello. No matter how proud the piano teacher is, she is still a young single woman. Who can resist such a man? She told him on the phone, please don't come again, please don't look for her again.She also intends to leave here and go to Paris to find another way out. Philip said, "Okay, but at least I'll give you a ride." His car took her down the mountain, and then to the train station in Lyon.They didn't speak the whole time until it started to rain outside and he took her hand. The piano teacher shed tears and was embraced by him, and became Philip's secret lover with a fearless spirit for love in his heart.She also bore him a child—a boy. The hostess, who had been pretending not to know about this matter, suddenly realized when the child was born: How could this woman give Philip another child? what should she doWhat about her children?There is only one spring, who will inherit it? The hostess was so ruthless that she planned for a long time, found a professional, showed him a picture of the piano teacher, mother and son, and said, "I want them to die." The Finnish woman put her baby in a small basket that day and wanted to take him to the children's hospital for vaccination.The child was placed in the passenger seat, and she had just started the car when a truck hit her head-on. ... Philip finally saw his long-lost wife and said to her: "When I knew you, I didn't know you would become like this. You kill people." The woman said, "If you know your character, if you know you've been unfaithful, you shouldn't be surprised by what I do." "Don't get your hands on my money and spring water." "Please treat my child well," said the woman. She didn't commit suicide, she was still a lady, she still smoked and drank heavily, but she died of depression at a young age a few years later. Philip's life is not bad, except for the two troubled children who have been fighting since childhood, there are no major problems in his life. Until he went skiing in the winter when he was fifty-four years old, hit his head on a pine tree, and fell unconscious. When he woke up, it had been a long time. He was traumatized in the brain, lost consciousness, and when he regained consciousness, he was furious because none of his children came to the hospital to see him! The employee was embarrassed for a long time before he said cautiously: "Your son and daughter, they won't be able to come." "why?" "When you were in a coma, they had different accidents one after another, all..." "died?" "Yes, sir." "Have you found out why?" "...still under investigation." Philip, who had just regained his senses, thought for a while, and said slowly: "If you are hiding it from me, if you really haven't found out the reason, then try to see if it is possible that these two people set a trap for each other, killing each other. kill each other." The two children were killed by each other. Relatives, friends and members of the board of directors tactfully persuaded Philip to revise his will to prevent any unexpected situations from affecting the operation of the group. Philip said: "Why should I change my will? My money and spring water never belonged to these two people." "Do you want to choose another heir?" "I have an heir." The boy was taken out of the monastery on the hilltop when he was fourteen to be Hagrid's heir, and his name was Danny.
