Selena sat on the small stool in front of the fireplace, supporting her chin with one hand and smiling foolishly at the flames in the fireplace.
This made Xigna who was under the bed extremely surprised. She quietly lifted up the sheets and stuck her head out to look into the room. There was no outsider in the room. It seemed that the danger had not been eliminated. Selina was getting angry.
Sometimes, I usually don’t beat myself up when outsiders are present, but when no one is around, it still depends on Selena’s mood.
It seems that Selena is in a good mood now, but Xigna still doesn't dare to take this risk.
She lowered her head and touched her hungry belly, thinking about the scene she saw behind the wheat haystack in the threshing field at noon.
Xigna sighed softly, and she could just endure it a little longer.
Just when Xigna was thinking wildly, a plate was pushed in from outside the bed. On the plate was a quarter of a baked wheat cake. This baked wheat cake was baked by Selena the day before yesterday. Now she just needs to take it out and put it on the bed.
It will become crispy once it is roasted on the fire pit. There was also a small piece of cassava and a small handful of chickpeas on the plate. When Xigna saw the food on the plate, she quickly ate it like a mouse.
He leaned over to the plate and smelled it, then leaned under the bed and started eating.
These chickpeas are planted on the stems of wheat fields. As long as the chickpeas are harvested before the wheat is harvested, few villagers in Wall Village grow chickpeas. This is not because they don’t like to eat them, but simply because they don’t want to eat them.
Just know how to plant it.
Selena sat on the wooden table, with a plate in front of her that was the same as Xigna's, except that there was only a few pieces of wheat cake on the plate. She picked up the roasted brown cassava and took a bite, feeling a biting feeling in her mouth immediately.
You can feel the tingling sensation of Sichuan peppercorns, but this is not because of the strong taste of cassava, but because the food itself is a little bit toxic, which does not affect anything except that it will make your tongue grow bigger when you eat too much.
Although the stone house was still empty, Selina felt that her whole heart was filled. She would have something to rely on in her future life. She no longer had to worry about the clerk in charge of the census breaking in suddenly that day and forcibly taking her to another stranger.
This place has Xigna and more than an acre of wheat fields. This is my home.
It's okay if life is a little hard, it will get better gradually.
The village has been undergoing subtle changes recently. In previous years, during the harvest festival, after harvesting the wheat fields, the villagers would go into the mountains and forests to pick up various mountain products for winter storage. No matter how much food was stored, they were worried that there would not be enough food to withstand the cold.
of winter.
But now, the panic atmosphere when autumn comes has been diluted a lot. The strong laborers in the village have dug back a large amount of sulfur mines. According to the old village chief, these sulfur mines can be sold for a lot of money, and the villagers who mine the mines still pay a lot of money every day.
She could get a silver coin, and if the half-month's wages were exchanged for fine wheat flour in Helensa City, it would be enough for her and Xigna to eat for four months.
Although she is considered to be Surdak's woman, Delina doesn't want to take any of his copper coins in vain. She wants to have a good discussion with the old village chief after the Harvest Festival and let her go to the sulfur mine in Pudu Mountain to mine, no matter what.
, there also needs to be someone responsible for cooking in the mining area!
As long as you can do it for two weeks, you don't have to worry about winter storage anymore.
When Selena looked in the mirror, she found a red mark on her chest that looked like a petal. Her face turned slightly red, and she thought with some annoyance about how she could cover up this red mark when she went out, otherwise she would be beaten by the teeth in the village.
If women who are sharp-tongued but don't have any bad intentions see this, I wonder what will be said about it.
The sun was no longer shining so brightly in the afternoon. Selena returned to the threshing floor, but did not see Surdak again. She heard from the old people working on the threshing floor that Surdak left Wall Village in a hurry at noon.
Yeah, it seemed like I had to leave in a hurry because of something.
Selena leaned on the wheat stack with her hands, and for a moment she was worried about gains and losses.
…………
A young man from Digo Village ran to Wall Village and brought a message from the old village chief to Suldak, saying that someone had found traces of a bandit group in the Grand Canyon next to Digo Village.
The villagers hunted wild goats in the canyon and skinned them by the river in the center of the canyon. After they left, they left behind a few tattered goat skins. The fascia on these sheep skins was dried by the wind, but the inside of the sheep skins were still soft.
Soft.
The village chiefs of the surrounding natural villages happened to hold a "Patrol Guards Meeting" in Digo Village to discuss how many people each village would provide for patrolling.
The whereabouts of the bandit gang were immediately brought to the village chiefs' meeting. The village chiefs of each village immediately sent letters to the village and began to recruit people to prepare to drive away the bandits from the Grand Canyon.
It is for this reason that Digo Village sent people to deliver letters to each village. When Suldak heard what the young people in Digo Village said, he immediately decided to rush to Digo Village.
In order to cope with emergencies in recent days, he usually wears leather armor during the day. At this time, he does not need to wear cumbersome Warcraft leather armor. The Roman sword hangs on his waist and the iris shield is stored in the magic waist bag. As long as
Go to the threshing floor and bring out your horse, and you can start immediately.
Selena was not seen on the field. Surdak looked at Selena's stone house from a distance. He wanted to say something to Selena, but when he thought of Xigna's cute eyes looking at him,
Surdak shivered all over, as if he was standing in the howling cold wind wearing only boxer shorts.
Surdak decided not to say goodbye!
He led the horse to the entrance of the village, and after the young people from Digo Village pointed out the direction, he galloped all the way to Digo Village along a mountain road with only faint traces.
Digo Village is completely different from Wall Village. Digo Village is located halfway up the Paglos Mountain. There is no mountain spring water here, so the entire mountain village does not look green at all. All the houses are made of limestone.
It is made of bricks, with triangular wooden frames and thatch on the roof. However, Digo Village looks much larger than Wall Village. There are about two hundred households in the whole village, which is three times the number of Wall Village.
After walking into Digo Village, I discovered... Although the area around Digo Village is deserted, this village occupies the entrance to the Grand Canyon, and there is a river in this canyon, and some crops are planted on the slopes on both sides of the canyon.
, there is not enough sunshine in the canyon, so the wheat fields here still look lush and green.
Surdak rode his horse and stopped beside the canyon, overlooking the entire canyon.
"The wheat fields in our village are different from those in other villages. If we want to harvest wheat, we have to wait at least another twenty days."
A middle-aged man came out of the mill not far away, glanced at Suldak, saluted and introduced him.
Then the middle-aged man asked: "Is this Lord Knight also here to track down the bandits?"
