Life seems to always change inadvertently, but there are always people who like to trace the beauty of the past along the path of memory.
The yard was very clean, with almost no remaining snow. In the stable, there was only a black-and-white cow grazing in a wooden trough. Suldak led the horse into the stable. This ancient Bolai horse seemed to be familiar with the situation in the stable.
The old residents were very dissatisfied and were tapping their horse hooves restlessly. The cow ate the grass quietly, paying no attention to the clown-like performance of the ancient horse.
Rita heard the noise and came out, and quickly helped Suldak unsaddle the horse so that it could stay comfortably in the stable, and kept stroking its head to make it calm down.
"How long have you been out this time?" Rita poured a basket of fodder into the trough, then brought a bucket of water over and said to Suldak.
Suldak held little Peter in his arms, stood by the pillar next to the stable, and said to Rita: "Well, I went to Bena City and did some business at the Pitbag Mountain Sulfur Mine. Now I'm starting from Wo
The road from Ercun to the sulfur mine has been repaired. If I have time, I can take you for a walk and see my territory."
Rita looked towards the north, with a hint of awe in her eyes.
For many people in the village of Wall, Pudu Mountain is a dead place. The black sky above covers a large area of desolate land. The volcanic ash is sealing everything. It is desolate and dry and there is no water source. Even the most tenacious ones can’t find any water.
The limestone iguana cannot stay close to the edge of the volcano, and sea buckthorn grass and thirsty grass are buried in volcanic ash, slowly turning into dead branches and leaves.
Rita curled her lips and said with some disdain: "What's so good about Pudu Mountain? The middle-aged people there are shrouded in a black sky, and the sky is full of volcanic ash. There is no man's land in the desolate land over there. No one can be there."
Life, if it weren’t for the masks, I’m afraid we wouldn’t dare to go in. I heard that there are fires all over the mountains over there?”
Rita's eyes are very hairy and full of curiosity.
Suldak hugged little Peter and followed Rita, saying: "There are rivers of lava everywhere over there, some exposed and some lurking underground. It's hot everywhere, but there's nothing like you said.
Such exaggeration is indeed not very livable. Compared with those, Wall Village is simply paradise."
Rita followed Surdak carrying the empty barrel. She was not very tall. She was wearing a jacket that women here often wear in winter. She had a well-proportioned and strong figure. She looked at the magnificent water reservoir not far away.
Chi Shuiba said with some emotion: "Yes, Wall Village looks like heaven now. I have almost forgotten the taste of multigrain pancakes."
Little Peter, who was stuck in Suldak's arms, said childishly to Rita who was following behind: "Auntie, if you go to Pussy Mountain, remember to take me with you."
Rita walked up with a smile, raised her little finger and scratched Peter's nose, and said with a smile: "If you can guarantee that you will not cry even if there is fire and rain falling on your head, then I will take you with me."
Little Peter nodded vigorously believing it was true, and said childishly: "I will definitely not cry..."
There are two wooden figures in the yard against the fence. The oak wooden figures are covered with some shallow knife marks. It seems that little Peter insists on practicing basic sword skills every day. There are two archery targets hanging on the wall next to the wooden figures.
There are also a few messy arrows stuck on it.
The fifth-level reservoir can just be seen outside the yard. It is covered with thick snow, and layers of dams are built overhead. The dams and mountains blend into the snow, making it look very spectacular.
Suldak walked into the house with little Peter in his arms. Old Sheila was sitting in a rocking chair next to the fireplace, her eyes slightly closed and warming herself to the fire. There was a thin blanket covering her knees, and she looked like she was asleep.
Natasha had already brought a plate of steaming broth to the dining room, and she stood two hard wheat cakes next to the fireplace. Baking them would make the wheat cakes delicious and crispy.
, I still remember that when I returned to Wall Village last summer, the whole village was starving, and the thatched house of old Sheila’s house leaked very badly. Fortunately, spring has always been a dry season, so it was not greatly affected.
At that time, in addition to some cereals, there seemed to be only some chestnut noodles in the house. The poor life slowly disappeared from the appearance of the man who was chewing wheat cakes with his head lowered and silently. And he also went from being a trainee knight to another.
He was promoted all the way to become a noble baron. Although this title is not yet hereditary, it is already the only one in Wall Village, which does not even have a canonized knight.
Today, he is still here silently, guarding Wall Village and this desolate land.
Natasha sat down on the chair next to Suldak and looked at him with a gentle face as he ate. Little Peter crawled into Natasha's arms. Natasha looked at Suldak with a dusty face and a body full of dust.
They were all covered with volcanic ash, so he said to him: "I'll boil some bath water..."
Although there is already a cook in the family, Natasha still likes to do everything by herself. She and Rita are both hard-working women.
Natasha was wearing a long cotton skirt, with a belt that tied her waist very slenderly, and a sweetheart-collared wool sweater that fit snugly on her body. Her milk-white neck and collarbone were fully exposed, and her long blond hair was tied with a handkerchief.
The back of her head was tied into a ponytail. Perhaps because she hadn't seen her for a long time, Surdak felt that Natasha's back was also particularly soft.
After filling your stomach, your body will feel relaxed.
Surdak was lying in the warm bath. He closed his eyes and felt the rippling water around him. His perception rippled along with the water ripples, which gave Surdak a very strange feeling. Then,
The sleepiness caused by the journey came over him, and he rested his head on the edge of the bathtub...
Thinking about how to mention to his family his proposal at Marquis Luther's Mansion in Bena City, Suldak felt that this matter was really difficult to talk about when he faced Natasha. Maybe he should talk to old Sheila first.
Let's discuss it, but he doesn't want to face old Sheila alone. When those eyes stare at him, he always feels a little guilty.
Then he began to think about setting up a cavalry battalion in the winter no matter what, whether it was war horses or cavalry, they were top priorities that had to be solved immediately.
Hearing the sound of rushing water, Suldak suddenly woke up from his dream and found Natasha squatting outside the bathtub for some reason. Her beautiful face turned red with embarrassment. She lowered her head and said fearlessly: "Did I kill you?"
Did you wake up?"
Surdak lay in the bathtub, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, lifted his white chin with his index finger, gave her red lips a light beak, and said gently: "If you hadn't come to wake me up, maybe I would have
I'll sleep until tomorrow morning..."
Natasha held down Suldak's somewhat dishonest hand and whispered to him shyly: "Don't stay here. Uncle Bright is still waiting for you outside. It seems he has something to discuss with you. Andrew and Samira
I heard that you were waiting outside when you came back!"
