071 Money Heart (3)

071 Qian Xin (3)

Autumn goes and winter comes, and the cold wind is getting worse. On the ninth day after the two sun god servants left, it snowed.

In the past, there would have been no one in the Graystone Village to suffer from freezing and starvation. Not to mention that the cavalry scouts of the Strong Flower Thorn came to "rage" once not long ago. Many villagers' homes were burned out and their food was not left behind. According to experience, this winter, the Graystone Village should be frozen to death or starved to death, but the facts are just the opposite. Now all villagers have clothes and every family has food to eat.

This is naturally Chen Xiansong's credit. After the winter, the price of grain in Heitu City almost doubled, but with the 50,000 gold coins sent by Ford as the base, supporting people in a small village, it was not a big problem. Chen Xiansong was not stupid to do good deeds, and he still understood the truth.

Now all the households in the village are working for Chen Xiansong. The work content is very simple. It is nothing more than digging Bai Min's request to dig up the weeds on the mountain, and then planting the fruit trees collected from other places according to the picture. Originally, the snowy winter was not a good time to transplant fruit trees, but in order to complete the construction of the entire ecological agricultural circle before spring, Bai Min didn't care about so much. In her opinion, as long as the survival rate of the fruit trees is not less than 60%, there is no problem.

Chen Xiansong wrapped a large cotton coat and squatted in front of the fireplace to cook the fire. Now he missed the automatic constant temperature room in the new human era. It was like spring all year round. After being able to feel that strange "unknown" substance, his sleepiness began to gradually decrease, but for this reason, he became rather run out and get frozen than stay in bed.

Alice was frowning at him, and she had been like this since Chen Xiansong kissed Bai Min.

The mercenaries carried wood around the village every day, and there was no need for Bai Min to urge them. The top 25 people had meat to eat. In order to eat meat every day, the mercenaries almost sacrificed their lives to train. With Bai Min's example, they gradually had a trace of solemn temperament that only the iron-blooded army could have.

Most people are optimistic about the changes in the mercenaries. It is a good thing to have an elite army to protect the village. However, there are also a very small number of people who disagree with this and are even a little angry, such as Lena.

Lena stood in front of the window, watching the snow shouting military horns and singing military songs, and circled around the mercenaries trained in the Graystone Village, and was speechless for a long time. Not long ago, twenty-five of them were her subordinates, but now there was no one. Mona was meditating on the side. When she woke up, she found that Lena was still keeping her movements before she entered into meditation. She couldn't help but persuade her: "Sister, don't think too much. Those mercenaries are not our subordinates at all, just think about it."

Rena shook her head: "You don't understand."

She ignored her sister and walked home by herself. Most of the young and strong people in the grey stone village ran to the mountains to dig and plant trees. There were only elderly people in the village, and women and children were left behind. The snow had not fallen much thicker, so she stepped on it. Due to the pressure, the thin layer of snow was immediately squeezed into liquid. She walked aimlessly in the village, leaving light gray footprints, and then was soon covered by the white snow that was rising.

"Bless Your Excellency Chen Xiansong to live a hundred years of life and be healthy and long-lasting..."

This is an old woman's prayer at her home. Although Chen Xiansong and Graystone Village are still a little wrong, the villagers are not heartless evil people. They understand what good people are and what bad people are. Most of them are grateful to Chen Xiansong, who can ignore past grudges at critical moments and are willing to give them a hand.

Reina felt that this voice was very harsh, and she whispered coldly: "Men are not good things, especially noble men. Humph, you will know that he is sinister in the future."

She walked slowly to the entrance of the village. Because of the cold weather, most villagers were unwilling to come out. She was a fire fighter and was naturally resistant to the cold. Outside the entrance of the village, it was very quiet, and only the sound of the wind blew by and started to whistle. She felt very lonely, and even her sister didn't understand her.

Behind him, there was a rustling sound of footsteps stepping on the snow. Rena looked back and found that it was a young boy walking out of the village with a bag, holding a spear in his hands.

The boy saw her, too, but quickly looked away and continued his own walking.

"Hey, where are you going?" Lena couldn't help but ask when the boy was about to pass by her.

The boy was a little surprised. He looked at the strong woman like a man: "Leave the village."

"Leave the village?" Reina suddenly felt like a confidant in her heart: "You also feel uncomfortable staying here?"

The boy nodded: "I like a girl, but I don't like the owner of the manor here. I want to leave here and do what I should do, so that I can get what I want in the future."

When Reina heard this, she automatically ignored other content and only remembered the sentence "I don't like the owner of the manor here."

"Yes, he is just a sinister villain, and he goes back on his word." The more Lena looks at the boy, the more she feels like herself, a sober person who can see Chen Xiansong's sinister heart clearly: "But what are you going to do after you leave here?"

"Return to the Zhendan Kingdom and join the army." The boy looked at the sky: "If nothing happens, I'll leave first."

"Wait" Rena hurriedly called him: "What's your name? What do you want to do when you join the army? I heard that the Zhendan Kingdom is now in chaos, with hungry people everywhere and bandits everywhere. In this case, if you join the army, you will undoubtedly seek death."

The boy looked at her: "My name is Da Tie. Benjamin told me that heroes come from troubled times. The more chaotic the place, the more chance they have. I want to become a general and have power. One day, I will bring the army back here, step on the owner of the manor on the ground, and then tell her that I am..." Da Tie suddenly stopped, stopped talking, and then walked forward.

"Wait." Rena suddenly grabbed the boy's clothes, and she didn't know why she did this.

Da Tie turned around and asked impatiently: "Is there anything else you have?"

Rena opened her mouth, and she felt that she suddenly had a unique desire in her heart, as if the magma of moxibustion was rolling in her heart, and as if it was thunder in the dark clouds, roaring in her mind one by one. Thousands of words came to her mouth, and turned into an extremely simple sentence: "I will leave with you and join the army."

"Why?" Da Tie couldn't understand.

After Lena made this decision, she felt that the dark clouds that had been pressing on her heart for several days had dispersed. She finally understood what she thought of the most. Power, an army, an army of her own, and the twenty-five mercenaries opened up her true desire.

Lena laughed cheerfully like a man: "Like you, I want to be a general. There are many female generals in history, and I hope to be one of them. Wait for me, I will go back to prepare to salute. It should be more convenient for the two to act together. Judging from your appearance, you should be from the Zhendan Kingdom. When you get there, I may need your care. In contrast, I will teach you the fighting skills of the warriors in return. What do you think?"

Da Tie thought for a while and felt that the deal was quite good, so he nodded and agreed: "Then you hurry up, we have to cross the border before dark. The Garfield cats in winter will become more violent and terrifying because of their lack of food."

"I'm also a mercenary, of course I understand this."

Mona was still meditating and communicating with the element. When she heard the door open, she opened her eyes and said, "Sister, are you back?"

"Well, Mona, pack up and let's get out of here." Lena said.

Mona was stunned for a while, and she frowned and said, "Sister, this joke is not interesting at all."

"I'm not kidding." Lena said seriously: "I finally know what I want to do. Mona, you either go with me or stay here. I can see that you seem to have a good impression of that bastard Chen Xiansong."

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Mona got angry.

Some things can be hidden from others, but they can't hide from their relatives. Rena shook her head: "But it was thanks to that bastard who led more than 20 subordinates in front of me that I realized the desire I had always been hiding in my heart. I want to go to the Zhendan Kingdom, which is now in chaos and full of opportunities everywhere. I want to fight for it. I no longer want to be a mercenary guard who is called by others."

At this time, Mona finally realized that Lena was not lying: "Sister, if you leave, it would be like betraying the Soul Thinker Association. Although they will not kill you, you will never be a mercenary again in the future, and all mercenary associations will not let you step into the door."

"I know, but it doesn't matter." Rena packed up her things: "Mona, do you choose to go with me or stay here to accompany that sinister little white face."

Mona shook her head in pain: "Sister, I don't want to live a bumpy and displaced life anymore. You can stay too. A stable life is more important than anything else. Why do you have to pursue power..."

"Sister, you have never known me...I am not like you, with an extraordinary appearance and amazing talent for craftsmen. It takes me twice as long to catch up with you. Now I have found what I want, so... goodbye."

Lena gradually walked away, and only the crying Mona was left in the room.

Outside the entrance of the village, when Da Tie was about to be impatient, he finally saw Reina appearing at the entrance of the village.

"I've been waiting for a long time."

Da Tie nodded, and the two walked together, dark clouds scattered white shavings in the air. The sky was very dark, but Lena felt that the world was bright now.

The Graystone Village became smaller and smaller behind them. Just when they were about to disappear completely, a woman was welcomed in front of them, a very beautiful woman. Da Tie always thought that Bai Min was the most beautiful woman in the world, but the one in front of her was not bad. She had long soft golden hair and was about 1.74 meters tall. Even if she was wearing thin clothes, the wind and snow could not make her feel any cold.

"Two, please ask, is there a grey stone village in front of you?" The woman smiled sweetly, as if there was no color in the world.
