Lord Helanza

In the morning, before dawn, I heard the voice of Old Sheila calling Rita.

Rita was stunned by the old Sheila yelled out, wearing a thin nightdress and Natasha ran into the kitchen to make breakfast, while the old Sheila re-checked the canvas bag that Surdak was carrying , Make sure it is full of toasted oatmeal, and the water pouch is also full, so I can sit down with confidence.

After Surdak put on the leather armor, he fed the Gubolai horse with fodder in the yard, put the saddle on the back of the Gubolai horse, and lightly touched the soft mane between its neck. Gubolema probably felt itchy and shook his neck vigorously.

Old Sheila sat on the chair at the entrance of the stone house and babbled at Surdak without a word.

She speaks slowly, her voice is very low, as if she is whispering: "For so many years, no one thinks of going into the mountains to dig sulfur mines, but it's not that these sulfur mines have been undiscovered, Pug Everyone knows how dangerous the wolves in Los Mountain are. You must be careful in the mountains. If the sand wolves want to hunt, it depends on whether they are hungry or not. No one can escape their tracking."

Surdak could feel the deep concern in the words of old Sheila. She watched this horse come down from the battlefield and immediately became fatter. She warned against Surdak repeatedly: "The horseman At that time, try to avoid those rock cracks. I heard someone fell in and never crawled out again."

Old Sheila didn't sleep well this night, her bags under her eyes were heavy. She stared at Surdak. Said: "In the past few years, the wild beasts in the mountains have decreased a lot, but that does not mean that they are all dead."

Before it dawned, Rita cooked a pot of sweetness. With chestnut rice porridge, Natasha also fried a pan of crispy pancakes. Little Peter was still asleep, and the family finished the breakfast by candlelight.

"I'll be more careful. I heard that the sand wolf skin is moisture-proof and cold-proof. When I come back this time, I may be able to bring you one." Surdak put down his spoon and said to Old Sheila Said.

Looking at Surdak's self-confident look, Old Sheila asked with a puzzled look: "Duck... did you have the same ability on the battlefield?"

"Of course, because of his outstanding performance, Baron Sidney appointed him as the platoon leader of the fourth battallion and the sixth platoon, governed about sixty heavy armored infantry warriors, and granted the status of Knight. He also has a very good hand. The skinning craftsmanship is responsible for collecting the black devil skins on the devil on the battlefield. We have also accumulated a lot of money on the battlefield."

"That was the only thing that Old Duck left to him... "Old Sheila said with emotion.

There was some movement outside the yard.

Surdak stood up and was ready to go. Rita, who was sitting next to him, winked at Natasha. Natasha plucked up her courage to take out a cloak and came to Surdak. She straightened her body. , Actually a little higher than Rita, flushed with shame and almost unable to open his eyes, but insisted on splitting the newly sewn cloak on Surdak and helping him fasten the rope buckle.

This is Surdak’s closest look at Natasha. Her cheeks are a little thin, her nose is straight, and a pair of pale blue eyes are always full of unconfidence. Her eyes are not as passionate as Rita, but they are With a very charming pointed chin, it was a kind of elvish charm, Natasha did not dare to meet Surdak's eyes at all.

Old Sheila and Rita have left the living room, leaving a little space for them to be alone. Surdak couldn’t help but grabbed her outstretched hands. The skin on her hands was not as expected. This kind of delicate, the palm of the hand is even a little rough, only through daily work can I have such a pair of hands...

"Ah!" Freed from the hands, Fei flees back to the bedroom.

Surdak closed the wooden door outside the stone house, and led Gubolai horse lightly out of the yard.

……

A group of twenty-three people left Wall Village at the dawn of the day. Except for Surdak and the five youngsters, the rest are the villagers who have stonemason craftsmanship. Villagers.

Everyone met at the entrance of the village. Luke brought the youngster back to the horses grazing in the Beigou pasture. At this time, the horses had been drunk and fed with fodder. I urge everyone to be more careful on the way, and check the supplies they carry over and over again.

Surdak divided the prepared four alloy bows to four youngsters.

This immediately made Charlie's envy for a long time and several youngsters cheered that could not be suppressed. Fortunately, this is the entrance of the village and will not disturb the people in the village.

Then Surdak took out the long leather boots from the bag and distributed them to the villagers. Many people put the boots on their feet on the spot, and they had these benefits when they just went out. In addition to these villagers, Surdak also gave each person two cotton masks.

The old village chief instructed Surdak: "As soon as I gather the first batch of materials, I will hurry back. I will organize another batch of youngsters here in the village. When you come back, I will go there immediately..."

With the ardent advice of the mayor of Bright, the entire group is back on the road.

When the villagers rode for the first time, they naturally had the same troubles as Charlie and Luke. The tender meat in the thighs was easily worn out by the saddle. But this time everyone made some preparations. On the first day of horse riding, they only walked one third distance, then stopped to camp and rest, and did not go to dark.

Since everyone is riding horses this time, the materials they carry are very sufficient. Three felt tents are also set up. At night, they eat wheat cakes and cook dried vegetables. Surdak feels that this kind of slightly bitter vegetable porridge is simply difficult. Swallow down, but the villagers eat with keen interest pleasure.

In the middle of the night, Surdak was awakened by the howling of a wolf from a distance. He got out of the tent and saw the two youngsters who were watching the cold wind at night are still by the campfire. Bring to the fire, then let go of your heart.

The two youngsters who were watching the night saw Surdak come out, and hurriedly moved to Surdak's side, and said: "These sand wolves are wandering around here again. They are really a group of soul of a deceased has not yet dispersed... …"

Surdak looked at Desolate Land, which was shrouded by night. At this time, it is impossible to hunt the sand wolves, so he said: "During the day, see if there is a chance to bring this wolf pack Drive away, they always appear in this area, and they are always a threat to us."

The two youngsters heard Surdak say that, but they didn't dare to take up this topic. In their opinion, it’s best to meet a sand wolf. The way is to get away quickly, there are no other people who take the initiative to move forward...

For a team of more than 20 people, the forage consumed every day is not a small burden. There is almost nothing on this Desolate Land. Not at all. Even if all the seabuckthorn along the road is eaten, it will not fill the stomachs of these horses. Although Surdak has prepared some fine beans, it is not too much.

Feed the horses before dawn, the entire group continued on the way, Surdak rode the horses and found one after another big circle along the way. Unfortunately, except for some white wolf dung, even the shadow of the sand wolf I didn't touch it.

Three days later, the entire group finally rushed to the foot of Pustule Mountain and settled down.

The villagers all put on face masks according to Surdak's request. Before it got dark, they hurriedly set up the felt tents.

This is the edge of the rocky area. As long as you walk 100 meters inside, you can see stalagmites emerging from the solidified lava, one after another pale-yellow sulfur and These stalagmites are intertwined...
