A horn-shaped water sac, a bag of salty scones and dry food, a dark red sharp machete and a roll of raw cowhide are all the goods that these robbers carry. Of course, they also have a set of tattered leather armor and a pair of long boots. If you are lucky, you can find a dagger in the boots.
The four robbers sneaked into the Grand Canyon without riding a horse, but his luggage was neat.
In the process of escape, these belongings were discarded by them along the way, and now they are picked up by the first group of young people’s departments, and the robber who was finally caught turned over into a purse containing dozens of silver coins …
Finally, the robber knew what would happen if he was caught alive, so he slammed his chest with his last breath. A young man in Digo village was not cut by a firewood knife, but the young man with a firewood knife turned pale with fear. At one time, he was killed by a vicious robber, so he closed his eyes and stood still.
Until the robber was rushed from behind, the young hunter shot through his throat with an arrow. The robber smiled strangely and fell down in a pool of blood. The young man in Digo Village sat in the sand and cried. He probably realized that life and death are often so short.
Water bags, sleeping bags, riding boots, and more than machetes were placed in front of these young people, but they didn’t let everyone take a look. On the contrary, in the end, the robber’s dozens of silver shovel made these young people exclaim together, which was like seeing something great. Everyone discussed whether to divide this bag of silver coins privately. They thought that these silver coins should have been picked up by everyone, and these young people planned to take them back and pay them back to the village in full.
Surdak took a look at the water sacs with the same horns. The price of this water sac in the leather-making shop in Hailansa City is less than five silver coins, and the sleeping bags of raw cowhide are worth about five silver coins, while those pairs of long boots are more expensive. Of course, these are far behind the value of machetes. The price of this dark red machete with sharp blood stains will never be less than three silver coins. These young people probably don’t know that these battles are more valuable.
Surdak held a piece of parchment silently. This parchment depicts a portrait of a woman with a sketch of a bust of a woman who looks like Selena. This sketch is lifelike and professional. The calm smile obviously captures the unique charm of Selena’s face.
This parchment was accidentally turned from the last robber to the original or a magic scroll of "gathering fire" or "gathering water". I didn’t expect it to be a portrait like Selena.
He carefully rolled up the parchment, and no one noticed the portrait of the parchment in his hand. Everyone’s eyes were on the bag of silver coins, so he quietly put the portrait into his magic pocket.
Surdak has always wondered how the robbers searched for Selena. They have never seen Selena. Can we find her accurately by language description? Until now, he didn’t find the answer. It turned out to be such a realistic sketch portrait. This portrait Selena was still a girlhood, and I don’t know where the robbers got it.
The young people who captured the war profits came to seek Surdak’s advice. He was not interested in these boots and water bags. After all, this was an individual action. Although he contributed the most, he could not monopolize anything. So he said that he would do what everyone thought, but he had no opinion at all.
These young people saw that Surdak didn’t care much about the bag of silver coins, but they didn’t expect Surdak’s knight to be so accommodating. This time, a total of 44 silver coins were seized. A total of 35 young people discussed it, and each of them got a silver coin and still put it in the purse and paid it to the village together with his war interests.
Surdak also got a silver coin. Looking at him without saying anything, he simply put the silver coin into his backpack. These young people thoroughly put their hearts to thinking that this Surdak knight seems not difficult to get along with …
In the first group, a total of 12 young people suffered some injuries, but none of them were fatal. Simply dressing them up would be fine.
Four robbers were buried on the spot. The villager who was killed by robbers in Digo village was carried back to the village by young people in the same village.
More than 30 young people walked back to Digo Village from the Grand Canyon. It was already dark. The village chiefs had not left Digo Village. They had already received news that four robbers had sneaked into the Grand Canyon and robbed a Digo Village. Seeing that the young people sent out had not returned so late, they were wondering whether to organize people to meet a group of young people and appeared at the village entrance at the same time.
Although some people were injured in the team, no one died because of it. The village chiefs were only slightly relieved.
Previously, although the old Brett of Walvillage threatened the village chiefs with this group of robbers, few village chiefs paid attention to this matter, or they would not have sent some young people to make up for it. Now, seeing that these young people killed four robbers in one breath and more than a dozen young people were injured, the village chiefs felt that these robbers had to guard against it.
The village chiefs finally paid attention to this matter and agreed that Village Chief Brett would go out to the mountain area to clean up these bandits …
If everyone has such a sense of prevention, there will not be much chance for these bandits to survive in this barren land. The villagers are far more tenacious than they look. They are the villagers in this Pagros mountain, and no one knows this mountain better than them. For them, these robbers are a group of outsiders.
Before, no one noticed these robbers because everyone didn’t realize what threat these robbers posed to everyone. Village chiefs always thought that impoverished mountain villages would never be the looting targets of these robbers, but I didn’t expect these robbers to secretly arrest people, so the robbers touched the bottom line of each village.
So the patrol escort was organized by the villages in a unified way that night.
In fact, the villages are mainly responsible for patrolling the surrounding areas of their villages. If they encounter a weak bandit group, they will clean it up directly. If they feel that they can’t clean it up, they will ask his village for help. Let’s kill these robbers together.
After the villages reached such a consensus, Village Chief Brett and Surdak returned to Wall Village overnight.
People who went into the mountains to pick mountain products have already returned to various stone houses, and the eaves are covered with various mushrooms. There are some chestnuts that have not been shelled and some other kinds of mountain vegetables that are dried in the dustpan in the courtyard. This is the case in the village every year. Winter is this year, which is particularly stressful compared with previous years …
None of the villagers in Shaowo village will worry about food in winter.
Chapter 29 Lost Night
The night wind is cool.
Surdak gently pushed the gate of the courtyard by the bright moonlight and led the horse into the courtyard. He tied the horse to the stone mill and the cows stopped eating grass. He took the horse to one side of the column and untied the saddle. He scooped out half a bucket of water from the water tank and poured it into the sink. The manger next to it was full of hay. This ancient horse seems to have adapted to this life.
It quietly shook its tail and bowed its head slowly, drinking water and eating grass in the trough, ignoring Surdak.
Surdak took off the leather chest strap and sat on the wooden bench at the door of the stone house, ready to rest against the wall of the stone house for a while. He wanted to take a bath for a whole day, but he was too lazy to move a step. He hung a Roman sword around his waist against the wall with a faint scent of blood.
He stretched out his hand and touched the side of the water tank and poured a gourd ladle of clear water on the Roman sword. The clear water flowed down the scabbard to the ground and turned dark red. He was worried that the edge of the Roman sword would rust, took out a piece of tarpaulin and carefully wiped the Roman sword again. Surdak relaxed his body and sat quietly against the wall of the stone house.
I feel relaxed when I take off my leather armor. Many leather nails are stained with some blood and need to be scrubbed well.
At this time, Surdak discovered that there were many pine mushrooms in the dustpan in the courtyard, as well as many chestnuts and some sour pears. It seems that these should be harvested by Natasha and Rita in the mountains today.
He went to the sour pear. He knew that this kind of yamanashi tasted sour and astringent, and the pulp chewed like sawdust. It was impossible to swallow it. If it was left in the jar for a month, it would become a sour pear, and it would become a kind of rice pickle. It could be eaten in the jar until the summer of next year.
The door of the main house was pushed behind to Natasha’s voice, "Come back so late … have you had dinner? Dinner is baked wheat cake and a fireplace … "
She has long blond hair and looks like she just got out of bed, wearing a thin linen pajamas. A pair of sleepy eyes reflect the moonlight, and the skin at the neckline becomes white and barefoot. The body next to the door is bumpy and the thin pajamas show off. Perhaps it is because she is not as shy as she was during the day, but she can hold her chest up at night.
"Eat" Surdak this moment some stupidly.
Natasha raised her hands and walked out of the stone house with her long hair curled behind her head. The moonlight on the slate was so white that it was harsh.
"Want to take a shower? I’m going to boil some hot water. "Her voice is a little hoarse, and her delicate face doesn’t match.
Surdak leaned against the door and said to Natasha, "Just take a shower at will. The army is used to taking a cold bath."
Natasha didn’t stop because Surdak refused. She went into the kitchen and quickly hit the fire. Then she went to the water tank. Surdak hurriedly stepped forward to help. After Surdak approached, he was slightly stunned. Natasha felt Surdak’s gaze and turned and bowed her head.
The fire in the kitchen fireplace is burning with straw, which burns very high. The light sets off Natasha’s bright face and blue eyes. Her eyebrows are very delicate, and her lips are slightly sipped. She is curled up and sitting on a wooden bench. The linen nightgown covers her feet. The iron hook takes out a brown wheat cake from the fireplace and cuts a thin slice of cheese and an onion-sandwiched wheat cake next to it and hands it to Surdak.
Surdak took the wheat cake and her face turned slightly red. She looked at the delicate and charming lips. He didn’t hold back and grabbed Natasha’s hand. He put half a piece of wheat cake with cheese in his hand and fell to the ground …
……
Surdak pushed his chest like a white lotus root arm for a second before he suddenly sat up from the wooden bed when his consciousness returned to his brain.
Natasha wrapped herself in a blanket and slept beside her, feeling the movement around her. Her long eyelashes trembled gently and her beautiful big eyes opened little by little, and then she realized what she was doing. She turned her head and just looked at Surdak, and then her cheeks turned pink.
Just before dawn, Surdak was about to say something when Natasha gently pressed his lips with one finger. She flexibly sat up from the bed and arranged a mess of long hair. Her eyes were full of colored teeth and she bit her lips slightly. The army blanket wrapped in Surdak slipped out of Surdak stone house and quickly returned to her room.
Surdak still clearly remembers the first time I saw Natasha in this house. Her face was malnourished, and she always lowered her head. Her shy and numb eyes made her unable to see hope for the future.
Now she seems to have changed a lot, and her attitude towards life has become less positive and optimistic, and her face has become less smiling. She looks up and smiles, which is really beautiful.
Surdak went back to bed. At this time, his head became completely white. Then some photos flashed from his mind. Many pictures of the second team emerged. Those members seemed to smile at him in a trance and saw Surdak. He seemed to wave to him in the distant clouds …
When Surdak woke up again, the sun shone from the door. Little Peter looked at him with his hands on his face and stared at him unblinkingly. When he saw him wake up, he smiled and said to him, "Dad is a big slacker …"
Surdak reached out and pinched little Peter’s cheek. He sat up from the bed and held him in his armpits with his hands and held him above his head.
Facing the rising sun in the morning, Suldak held a little Peter who laughed wildly and went to the courtyard outside the house to cook breakfast in Rita’s main courtyard. Old Sheila was squatting on the belly of a cow to milk …
