Lord Helanza

Five four-wheeled trucks driven by two horses were slowly driving on the mountain road outside Helanza. A guard battalion Knight rode up along the mountain road to stop the carriage. Knight, a guard battalion, rode on a horse and carefully checked the identity of the carriage husband and Surdak, and said to Surdak:

"Recently, there are always robbers on this road. You must be more vigilant and pay attention to safety when you travel. "

Surdak also didn't expect carriage. Just after leaving Helanza City, he ran into the patrol team of the Helanza City Guard Camp. It seems that robbers have been rampant recently, and the Lords of Knight can no longer sit securely. In the office chair, but riding a horse to patrol everywhere outside the city.

"Okay, everyone!" Surdak waved to the guard camp Knights who were about to leave.

"I will, Lord Knight!" The carriage husband stood aside and said respectfully.

"We'll meet again some day!"

This team of Knight waved goodbye to Surdak and the carriage husband at the fork of the mountain road.

……

The carriage has just left Helanza City, and there are trees on both sides of the mountain road.

Sunlight came in through the leaves, leaving mottled marks on the mountain road. Natasha and Rita, with their backs to the carriage husband, sat on a large wooden box full of apples, like This kind of big wooden box full of red apples, there are a total of three in the carriage.

Apart from this, the compartment is also full of twenty bags of wheat flour that Surdak bought from the free market. Natasha is holding a light yellow silk scarf tightly in her hand. She and Rita Each of them has one, and each has a comb. Although these are not worth a lot of money, they are still excited for a long time.

Natasha thought that Surdak took out the horn comb and silk scarf last night, she actually learned Rita's way and put it on his cheek and kissed her, her cheek became a little bashful. She took a peek at Surdak, who was sitting in the carriage, and saw that he was using a charcoal pen to draw on a parchment.

Two horses trot all the way behind the truck. She hugged her knees tightly, trying to hide her feet in the long linen skirt.

Rita sits next to Natasha, gnawing at the apple unimaginatively.

The most valuable thing in this four-wheel carriage is not the apples, nor the twenty bags of wheat flour, but the two hundred steel bars on the bottom of the carriage that reach twenty feet in length.

These steel bars were purchased by Surdak with 15 Gold Coins from a trading company in Helanza City. This trading company accepted Surdak’s commission and ordered them in Pena City before half a month. A batch of steel bars have just arrived in Helanza City in recent days.

Surdak hired five trucks to be able to pull all the steel bars away. The trucks filed in and left a few deep ruts on the mountain road. The truck at the back also contained some other vegetables and fruits, as well as some necessities that were in short supply in the village.

When the convoy arrived at the mountain pass, the sky was completely dark, because there were always robbers in the mountain recently. advantage of the night Slowly rush to the village of Wall.

By the time the truck arrived at Wall Village, it was almost midnight.

Five carriages were parked on the farm. The old village chief came upon hearing the news and arranged accommodation and dinner for the carriage husbands. He also arranged for the horses to be fed manually. As for the cargo on the carriage, it was planned for dawn Unload it later.

Natasha and Rita took the horse home. The old village head grabbed Surdak and frowned and asked Surdak: "What did you buy? You need five four-wheeled carriages. Pull it back."

Surdak motioned to let Rita and Natasha go first, and took the old village chief to the side of the carriage, and took off a trunk board from the truck, taking advantage of the bright moonlight in the night sky. The carriage was dark. When Surdak jumped onto the carriage, a wooden box happened to crack, and a bunch of onions rolled out immediately.

"This is... an onion?" The old village chief didn't expect Surdak to buy this.

Surdak looked embarrassed, and quickly pushed these onions aside, revealing bundles of steel bars inside, and smiled to the old village chief: "These onions were just brought back by the way. I told you You mentioned that you wanted to build a cistern in the upper reaches of the village, and built a section of wall in your yard with volcanic ash."

The old village chief suddenly remembered that the women in the family nowadays I didn’t forget to water the wall. I knew it was so troublesome. I shouldn’t have built the lime wall in my yard. The old village head brace oneself said: “The lime wall looks good now. It’s sturdy."

Surdak pulled out a steel bar about the thickness of a little finger, and said to the old village head: To make the reservoir stronger, I bought these from Helanza."

"These are iron bars?" The old village chief rubbed his eyes vigorously. Not unfamiliar, many blacksmith workshops make arrows by burning this kind of iron bars and rolling them in forged tires. Now Surdak actually uses this kind of iron bars to weave the keel and put it into the wall. The village chief asked with a distressed look: "Did you buy these iron bars to be sandwiched in the lime wall?"

"Yes." Surdak nodded disapprovingly.

The old village chief looked at the large bundle of steel bars in the carriage, and he could only sigh softly: "It's really a luxury to buy so many iron bars at once!"

Why do you have to repair the reservoir? There is no shortage of water in the village all year round. It is just a little difficult to irrigate in the early spring of the dry season. Hasn't it been like this for so many years?

The old village chief thought secretly in his heart that he didn't understand this matter a little bit.

Then shook the head, thinking that Surdak had become Knight. Sooner or later, this village of Wall would be his property. Now Surdak wants to do something in the village, especially if the family pays out of their own pockets. The village chief really couldn't say anything else.

It was already midnight, and the old village chief looked to the right, and he could see the whole village. A dirt road stretched out far, and you could see it far in the moonlight.

Everything sank into a deep and silent sleep. There was no movement in the village, which made people unable to believe that nature could be so quiet. Looking at the village under the moonlight, dirt roads, huts, haystacks and hanging The chestnut trees full of chestnuts suddenly became very peaceful in the heart of the old village chief. The night was so gentle, sad, and beautiful. The village was in the valleys, with green fields on both sides.

In the moonlight-filled wheat field, the wheat ears bend the stalks that are about to wither. Life here is slowly undergoing this change, and everything becomes prosperous.

The old village chief looked at the youngster who jumped out of the truck. His shoulders are wide, his waist has inverted triangular abdominal muscles, his eyes are piercing in the night, and many plans are in place. He realized it step by step in his hands.

And now, the carriages of these trucks are filled with materials that I didn't dare to think about before, and I am not satisfied with them.

"Go home, after a busy day, now it's so late again, I should have a good sleep!" He looked up at the bright moonlight, and said, "Tomorrow is another good day..."
