The Green Empire horse is a very valuable animal, especially a war horse that can fight on the battlefield. Sometimes a horse can be exchanged for five cows.
Surdak seriously thought about it, and felt that it was a bit overwhelming for him to let a noble lady who was persecuted by robbers drive back to Hailanza city alone. So he said to Miss Huo Yier, "If you drive back to Hailanza city alone, you should wait for me to finish these things, and then I will send you back to Hailanza city. Maybe you have to stay in the village for one night and it will take less than a few days to return to Hailanza city!"
"Can’t you send me back to Hailanza now?" Miss Huo Yier feels so sorry for herself. Even if the knight has a little sympathy, he should send himself back to Hailanza City. If the sense of responsibility and mission is bursting, the knight should perhaps help him complete his revenge, rebuild his home and finally impress himself and marry him.
But at present, the knight seems to have no such idea. Miss Huo Yier hinted to Surdak, "Mr. Knight, I will give you some generous rewards. I really want to go home as soon as possible."
Surdak expression than seriously shook his head.
"… well, I can try!" Miss Huo Yier looked at the carriage and said with tangled whip.
Miss Huo Yier took a look at the endless mountain road in a carriage and wanted to cry by car.
Without waiting for her to wave the whip, the old horse pulled the van slowly towards Hailansa City, and the coachman was wrapped up like a mummy and lay unconscious in the carriage.
After the original rescue, all the disasters have passed, but now Miss Huo Yier feels that her future bumpy life path may just be …
……
Looking at the carriage slowly sailing in the direction of Hailan Sa City to Surdak, I was a little relieved.
Of course, licking the bag is the most important thing in a perfect ending of a battle. The bodies of 23 robbers were rummaged inside and out, and even their leather armor was stripped together with their weapons department. Most of these robbers wore dark red machetes, and only the robber leader with a turn of strength could afford the punishment hammer.
The only value of these weapons to Surdak is that they are sold on the black market. However, thieves carry silver-handled daggers and hunting bows with them. These daggers are of some value. They can be bought in any weapons store. Although they are not brand-new, Surdak thinks that they can be given to the villagers. The Woer village lizard hunting group needs several well-crafted hunting bows for daggers. Who goes hunting without a dagger?
Gensoul Ducker’s accident was that he found a magic purse from the waist of the robber leader. This magic purse was almost full of precious stones, jewelry, gold coins and silver coins. In addition, there were some magic scrolls for daily life and three bottles of emerald detoxification drugs.
These robbers are so rich …
Surdak suddenly thought of Carl’s statement last night that this group of robbers had just looted three noble manors in the suburbs of Hailansa. It seems that this is true!
Then he found some sturdy canvas pockets for the horses, stuffed all the fried noodles with dried nuts and scones in the pockets into two canvas pockets, and put the iron pieces in the two big wooden boxes in different categories, and split the slats of the wooden boxes into more than twenty wooden crosses.
Surdak alone drove twenty-two horses to transport the bodies of these robbers to the mountains next to the wasteland pass.
He nailed the wooden cross into the crevice at the top of the mountain. Twenty-three robbers’ bodies were tied to the cross. The head of the robber leader was cut down by Surdak, so he sharpened the top of the wooden cross and inserted the head of the robber leader into the surface … When the work was finished, the sun was almost setting.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the bodies of these robbers, and the rotten birds hover from the sky and refuse to fall.
The bodies of twenty-three robbers isolated the barren ridge until the night came completely …
Chapter 24 Waiting
This is a silver oak tree with a big tree hole, which is very dry and there are no traces of wild animals living in it.
A punishment hammer, 17 machetes and 10 pieces of seemingly intact hard leather armor were hidden in a hole in a century-old oak tree in an oak forest by Surdak, who wanted to quietly dispose of these weapons on the black market after the bandit group wind passed.
At that moment when night is about to fall, Surdak looks back at the barren mountain pass of Pagros Mountain. Those cross stands look like a dark forest, and the bodies of robbers hanging crosses seem to warn everyone who wants to plot against this mountain area.
The horse whose lungs exploded on the mountain road was dismembered by Surdak dagger, and the horse meat was wrapped in linen and taken back to Wall Village.
……
Rita sat with little Peter in her arms at the entrance of the village, and the roots of the dead trees quietly watched the path extending out of the entrance of the village.
Although it was completely dark, little Peter had no idea of going home. He clenched his small hands tightly into fists and stared at the dark intersection persistently.
Rita’s blue eyes are especially bright at night. She holds little Peter in her arms tightly, which may be the reason for her to keep waiting.
The old village head, sitting beside the tree roots, knocked his pipe in his hand and muttered, "It seems that something must have been delayed. Go back!"
Said with his hands behind his back, he got up and walked slowly to the village.
Charlie and Luke think they should wait a little longer. It’s nothing to go home anyway.
Sitting next to Charley, Luke is winding linen string around the dagger handle. Although the edge of the dagger is almost worn down, it is the most valuable thing on him. He tells Charley in a small way that he plans to prepare some high-end small business to save some money and then go to the blacksmith shop in Hailansa City to buy a dagger.
Charlie thinks it’s easy to buy a dagger if you can hunt a limestone iguana in the surrounding mountains
The other three young people watched Rita secretly, laughing and frolicking in their novels to attract Rita’s attention, but obviously Rita was not interested in such behavior of big children and never turned to look at them.
Little Peter was a little worried that Rita would take him home after dark. He sat in Rita’s arms and said to her, "Aunt, can we wait a little longer?"
At this moment, Rita hesitated to wait a little longer. It seemed as if she suddenly had a new reason to hear Peter ask her like this. Rita looked at Peter and hugged him tightly and said, "Then wait a little longer!" "
The young man next to him envied little Peter, but little Peter felt that Rita was hugging him too tightly. He struggled to run out of Rita’s arms and said excitedly to Rita, "Dad said when he left, he would bring me some candy bars …"
Speaking of this, little Peter looked a little excited, and his eyes were full of expectations in the night.
And Rita heard little Peter say this, and pulled it into her memory to remind her of herself …
"Rita, stay home and bring you sugar when my brother comes back!" Surdak said this to Rita on the eve of military service
And Rita has been waiting for four years. Rita shook her head to clear her mind.
At this time, the horseshoe rumbled in the dark night. Rita was happy at first, but her horse realized that it was a horse team. When Surdak left, he rode a horse. Little Peter broke free from Rita’s hands and ran out towards the night. Rita quickly chased after him.
In the dark night, a knight riding a horse appeared, holding a string of reins in his hand, and saw little Peter rush to Surdak regardless of the danger. He quickly flew to vault and lifted little Peter high, cheering and laughing.
Rita followed and saw Surdak riding out of the dark night and quietly followed.
Charley, Luke and three other young people also saw Surdak, who hurriedly leaned in to see twenty horses followed by Surdak with a surprised look. Surdak said to Charley in front, "It’s early to help me get these horses to Beigou grassland and temporarily put them there for stocking."
Charley nodded and promised to come to the village surrounded by five young people.
Someone ran to inform the old village head that when the old village head arrived at Surdak’s house, he saw that the outside of the courtyard was crowded with horses. Rita was drinking water for these horses. When she walked in, she found that Surdak was in front of a wooden table with a silver dagger cutting a strong horse leg to cut the horse meat into strips and put it on the table, while Charlie was distributing the horse meat to the villagers.
The other three young people are squatting in front of the big wooden basin, washing them repeatedly, full of dirty smell.
A large iron pot has been set up in the courtyard. It’s dirty in this weather. It must be cooked by horse if it is left for too long.
Surdak saw the old village head coming and told him about the mountain bandits.
The old village head was shocked and asked with his mouth wide open and his bass pressed, "So there’s nothing missing from the gang?"
Surdak nodded firmly and said, "I killed them all!" "
The old village head heard Surdak say this before he breathed a sigh of relief and even said, "It’s okay! These robbers have become more and more rampant in the city of Hailansa in recent two years, often attacking aristocratic estates and occasionally attacking villages. The nearby villages are so poor that these robbers are unwilling to come. This group of robbers is not less evil, but no one can resist them. "
The old village chief said to Charlie, a child, and Luke, a nephew, "I heard that the bandits in this area are all a gang, and they are very vengeful. They must not let the horse rest after eating such a big loss this time. These horses must not be released into the village to raise Charlie and Luke. You should drive them to the grassland on the north slope overnight. When the day comes, you should check whether these horses are marked. If they are, they should be removed."
Surdak smiled and said to the old village head, "Actually, we are not afraid of those robbers. If they dare to come over, the most they can do is to set up more crosses at the mountain pass."
Surdak will buy the ironware from the blacksmith’s shop in Hailan Sa City. The old village head was completely dumbfounded when he saw such a pile of ironware in front of him …
Chapter 249 Village Construction Plan
After Surdak cut up the horse meat, he was worried that it would go bad if it was kept for a long time, so he asked three young people to help him. Three young people carried big baskets and distributed the horse meat to every family at night, and every villager got a share.
