Chương 95: Chapter 94 Charles's Meritorious Service

The drizzle could not stop the serfs from working; near the manor's outbuilding, Rib Jimmy, the fisherman, dove into the small pond and groped underwater.

Moments later, he knocked on the manor's outbuilding door with a dejected face.

Russell welcomed him in the living room, "What's the matter?"

"Sir, I have an unfortunate piece of news to report. The clams we're raising in the pond are dying one after another," Rib Jimmy said despondently. "I noticed some clams had died during the days you were fighting in the Snowfield."

Then today, when he went to check the pond again, he found more dead clams: "Their wounds have festered, leading to their deaths… Just a small incision on the membrane, how could it lead to a festering wound, Sir?"

"Festering wounds?" Russell frowned.

Rib Jimmy then showed him some dead clams. When opening their shells, it was indeed clear to see the mantle, where the grains of sand were lodged, had rotted away significantly.
