Chapter 61: The Northlanders' Cunning
Bran looked up at the woman in front of her, who slapped the onlookers away and led Bran into the house in the center of the stockade.
Bran's first impression of the woman was that it was as wide as a wall. With his small size, if he wanted to give this woman a hug, he could only pat her flat, and his outstretched arms might not even occupy two-thirds of the wall.
As the hostess of the place, she has received a message from the castle that little Bran will be passing through here. While everyone else was watching, the child who had been instructed told her to report it.
This woman had the boldness peculiar to the Northland, and in the short distance before entering the house, Pu Fan's big palm slapped on Bran's body, staggering him more than once. And Bran also learned that she was Isa's mother-in-law, the heavy axe, through a mouthful of his family.
Now the whole village is under the management of this mother-in-law named Heavy Axe, and in a sense, this female man should be the person with the highest force value in the village. Bran remembered the jokes between friends in his previous life, we fat people never fight, just sit on each other gently, sit until he cries his father and shouts mother, and sits until he can't take care of himself. Could it be that this woman also defeated everyone in this way......
A fat man is usually a foodie, and when he eats too many flavors and many foods can no longer satisfy the fat man's taste organs, the ultimate skill is forced to develop and incarnate as a chef. Now Bran is confronted with a fat female woman who explains how to eat and drink well - the cook lady Heavy Axe. She kept advising Bran: "Eat! You're welcome, eat more." You just eat too little. β
Then he threw a bone-bearing hoof into his mouth, and after a few gentle chews under Bran's gaze, Bran heard the bone break and shatter in her mouth......
A little girl of 12 or 3 years old sat next to the heavy axe, and from the little girl's face, Bran could see a little bit of Esa's shadow. Tonight's table of meals is due to her. Although Bran didn't eat muchβmost of the food fell into the girl's mouth, in proportion to the total amount of food, Bran felt a little overwhelmed.
......
Bran decided not to stare at anyone else eating, which seemed impolite, although the mother-in-law opposite didn't care. He found a topic, or rather out of some bad taste.
"So Sister Heavy Axe, how did you meet Issa?"
"Our fathers have known each other since childhood. You should know that the samurai in the castle have been like this from generation to generation. It's as if Isa's was helping your father, and our grandparents started to maintain this relationship with your family. Most of the children in the castle are like this, they know each other, if not very well.
Although we are robbing relatives in the north, most of them are going through the motions. The two sides need to look pleasing to the eye in advance, and then temporarily set up a platform, find some people to witness, and play a few games, which will be lively. According to the agreement, the newlyweds are going to be captured by the other party, and then the elders will give blessings.
Aisa wanted to do the same back then, so the old lady knocked him out first and then scattered everyone. Then he was tied up in my house for the night, and the next day, with the blessing of the elders, we were married. β
Bran asked with some uncertainty, "Break up?"
"Hmm. When my parents had an accident, I was alone and didn't want to be someone else's family member, so I decided to grab one. Just in time for Isa and them, they were also in a hurry, so they all ran away......
I know that they can't bear to see me in a bad situation. That's why I was able to stun Isa first, and the others took the opportunity to run away. Although it disturbed Isa's good deeds, the people who grew up together couldn't really look at me helpless. β
Speaking of this, the heavy axe laughed, and the whole person seemed much gentler in an instant.
Bran gave a thumbs up......
After eating, Bran praised the little girl's good craftsmanship and told a few short stories to divert the little girl's attention from the black cat Flowey. A few little stories made the little girl very happy and very satisfied. And said that he liked him very much, and hoped to be able to hear such stories in the future.
......
With a short mouth, Bran decided to reward it with his strengths, so the heavy axe actually took out two heavy axes and put them on the table where they were eating. Two axes like door panels, Bran couldn't help but admire Isa's strength, he was only stunned back then, not shot to death.
As for Bran's abilities, the heavy axe naturally knew that she had heard too much of the child's magic from Isa, so she was looking forward to it now. The materials and quality of these two axes can only be regarded as average, but they are enough to show the superb casting skills of the Northland, and this thing is not something that ordinary people can make. Bran's hands rested on top of the two plate axes, and under the surprised gaze of the heavy axe, the two axes began to become reborn.
Bran withdrew his hands and explained, "The materials of these two axes are average, so the quality improvement is limited. If there are better materials, I believe that you can make a weapon that satisfies you. β
Then, he was carried directly into his arms by the heavy axe and carried into the storehouse of the stockade. It was here that Bran saw the power that the Northlanders had accumulated over generations. Bran still underestimated the inheritance of the Northlanders for generations, and the huge wealth accumulated by generations of iron smelting. He didn't expect that the warehouse in a stockade would have high-quality metals like a hill. So his hands itched, which is a habit in recent years, and the knee-jerk reaction when he sees good materials.
Bran struggled out of the heavy axe's arms, instantly unfolding all of his senses. Heavy Axe felt an invisible wind blow across his face, and the air around him seemed to increase a little.
......
Heavy Axe watched the villain trotting around the storeroom, then became more excited. Commanding her out of sight, this, this, and this......
Pieces of metal ingots were brought to Bran, and the Heavy Axe was given not only a pair of plate axes that she cherished all her life, but also a good kitchen knife, a kitchen knife like a door panel, and a huge iron hook. According to Bran, you wouldn't be a good cook without these two things. Heavy Axe decided to pass these two things on as weapons to her daughter......
Here Bran also found two pieces of dragon gold, and he brazenly asked for them.
......
At dawn Bran left the stockade, and it was from here that Bran really left the radius of the castle. When leaving the village, a 12 or 3-year-old girl dragged a huge kitchen knife in one hand and a huge iron hook in the other, and said to Bran with a serious face: "I will be a good cook, I will knock you out and take you back to my house." β
The heroism peculiar to the lands north of Bran replied, "Yes, I'll wait." β
And then he left in the wilderness......
