Brett and his group didn't walk long, and soon the group drove the carriage to Undercurrent Village.

The name of the village is a bit strange, perhaps because there is a diversion of a large nameless river that flows around the village. Then, probably from the wisdom of the predecessors, they dug a river around the village, and finally had the appearance of a moat.

The downside of this environment is that it would be difficult for the village to expand if its population grew. The advantage is that the river channel dug around the village has a certain depth and width, which does bring a certain protection effect to the small village.

In addition to the protection of the river, the whole village is surrounded by a thick spire wooden fence, and the two entrances and exits of the village are guarded by villagers, and passers rely on two small wooden pontoon bridges built on the river to get in and out.

Considering the load-bearing problem of the wooden pontoon, the carriage stopped on the outskirts of the village, and then the crowd began to unload the wagon in a hurry. Thor was bored in the crowd and helped out by the way.

Today's village is clearly lively, as if there is some kind of festival.

The unloaded goods were soon counted and sorted out by the light of torches, and then divided into the hands of each household according to the number, and the faces of the families who received the goods were filled with simple and joyful smiles.

After the distribution of supplies, the people who went out this time would inevitably boast about the dangers encountered on the road, and Brett also took this opportunity to solemnly introduce the righteous act of Saul's help to the villagers on the way.

Thor felt embarrassed to stand there in front of everyone's eyes, and Brett seemed to be trying very hard to portray Thor as a brave man in the wilderness, but Thor was a filthy and tattered beggar dressed like a brave man.

Ever since he was cursed, Thor had put his black coat in a ring, wearing only the same crude linen clothes as ordinary paupers, so that he could spend his days wandering the streets and alleys.

Now the clothes have long been worn out and opened, and with Saul's greasy and knotted hair, he looks like a professional tramp.

After an initial brief period of surprise, the villagers cast friendly glances of gratitude and understanding at Thor. Since he is a brave man, he must always be a little different from ordinary people, after all, rags are also a style!

After the commotion, the villagers dispersed and went back to their homes, while Brett held Sol hostage and forcibly dragged him to his house, and Sol was a little uncomfortable with this enthusiasm, so he could only thank him and be dragged away like a piece of goods.

And Brett's brother Luke carried the supplies belonging to the two families on his body, followed silently, silently showing his muscles.

The scale of the whole village is obviously very small, and it looks like there are many people just now, but in fact, there are only about ten families in total.

The total population adds up to about a few dozen people, and it is said that this has been the case for decades. After all, a small village of this size faces more and more difficult difficulties than those of large towns.

When they arrived, Brett's home was a series of connected wooden houses with triangular hay roofs, much like the architectural patterns Saul had seen in Greycurtain. However, the roof of Brett's house is apparently repaired frequently, and it looks undilapidated.

Brett's brother Luke's family lives next door, and the two families usually live together, eat and live together. After entering the house, Brett handed Saul to his wife Lena, and asked Lena to take Saul to wash first.

"Who are you?" a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl looked at Thor with big eyes flashing in confusion.

The girl is Brett's daughter, and at first glance she is a hybrid of Erin and Anne Baez.

Like Erin, it's the kind of wild simplicity and innocence that is unique to country girls.

Like Anne Baez, it is because when Thor saw her, she was carrying a thin-bladed thin sword, beating the scarecrow in a circle of wooden pens around the side of her house, and Thor could clearly feel her first-order aura.

"Hello, you can call me Thor. In response to the girl's questioning, Thor briefly introduced himself.

"Will you use a sword?" the girl blinked again with her big eyes when she saw the sword behind Thor's back.

"No, it's usually scary on your back. Saul smiled perfunctorily, finally closing the conversation to the ground.

Under the girl's disgusted gaze, Thor was taken by Mrs. Lena to the firewood room on the side of the family, and soon boiled hot water, and then Thor comfortably soaked in the bathtub. It wasn't until Mrs. Lena knocked on the door that he woke up from his sleep in embarrassment.

After getting dressed and entering the main hall, the hot food on the table was bubbling with aroma. At this time, it was strictly late at night, and I didn't know if this table was dinner or supper.

When Saul arrived, the table was already lively, after all, the two Brett brothers lived together and had their own families.

Brett had a lady on Lena and a girl who had just disliked him, and Luke had a lady and two children, a daughter of fifteen or sixteen, and a boy in his early tens.

It was the first time that so many people had gathered at the same table to eat, and it was inevitable that he was a little unaccustomed.

There had been a similar scene in the days of the convent, where many orphans huddled together for a meal, but the theme was always a quick snatch of food from the basket. Then gobble it up and then stare at what is in someone else's hand to see if there is a chance to grab another wave.

The two families smiled at the dinner table and introduced Saul's names to each other, as if to add a sense of formality, but it always felt like they were welcoming a new family member, which made Saul feel awkward.

"Lucia. The girl who disliked herself just now held the spoon to her mouth, pulled her long hair away so as not to rub the soup, and didn't look at Sol when she introduced herself, and she didn't even have a roll of her eyes, which was the style that Sol was familiar with.

As for Luke's family, in addition to Luke himself, there are also his wife Wendy, daughter Martha, and son Wilson.

There are no unnecessary rules in this kind of ordinary civilian family life, so everyone at the table chatted very warmly while eating.

"Are you venturing alone in the wilderness? I mean are there any teammates and companions or anything like that?" Brett asked Thor during the meal.

"No,...... Well, I've always been alone for some reason. Thor thought for a moment in reply, not mentioning his adventure in the slightest. Since he was cursed, all plans have no meaning, and the struggle to survive is the core.

"Would you be interested in joining our adventurous team, which currently includes me and my brother Luke, as well as two other first-order professionals from the village, and my daughter Lucia occasionally squeezes into the team. ”

"But her half-bucket of water martial arts is too rough, and she is often frizzy, not as steady and decisive as you. So I hope you can join the team too, you are about the same age, and you can usually help me keep an eye on her and guide her by the way. ”

Brett said first, thought about it and then added, and as soon as the words fell, he was stared at by his daughter.

Squeezed into the line?Half a bucket of water was rough and frizzy?Was this really her own daughter?Lucia suddenly felt very sad. Soon she turned her head to glare at Thor again, with an expression on her face that if you dare to promise me, I'll kill you.

Unexpectedly, his ruthless and crazy killing behavior turned into a steady and decisive one in Brett's mouth, and he seemed to have been targeted by a certain girl suddenly, which made Thor feel innocent.

I have been wandering in the wilderness for more than two months, and that life is undoubtedly very difficult.

Although Thor would also like to stay somewhere for a while to catch his breath, his first priority now is to live, and he may no longer be qualified to hope for any more life and adventure.

His current physical condition is very unstable, and Thor doesn't know if his curse will worsen or if anything else will change. He wasn't even sure if he would live, or how long he would live.

If you want to do something with someone else in such a situation, you will probably cause trouble to others, and you will also be very troublesome.

Just as Sol was about to open his mouth to refuse, Brett suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

"Young people, don't dwell too much, just decide, you live in our house first. ”

"I had just cleaned up the utility room and put a ready-made bed. The living environment may not be ideal, and the bed is Lucia's old bed, which may be a little small for you, so you should try to see if you can make do with it. ”

"Father, why did you give up my bed to this one...... Bird's nest head-like fellow?" Lucia grumbled at once.

"I have the final say in this family, and now that Thor is a guest in our house, I hope you can show a girl's generous and polite side. Brett puffed out his eyes and waved his hand.

"It's not a matter of being stingy, I ...... the bed I've slept... No....... Lucia's face turned red, and she finally had a girlish appearance, but it was a pity that her voice did not attract anyone's attention as she spoke.

Seeing that the dust settled, Lucia could only turn her head angrily and stare at Thor, it seems that this girl who has given herself a new nickname has a deep grudge against herself.

Thor has long understood that the girl is a creature that cannot be easily provoked, but the problem is that he has not provoked either?

was interrupted like this, and Saul couldn't say it in time if he wanted to refuse. But think about it first, anyway, I originally planned to stay in the village for two or three days to replenish the supplies, and then I would like to thank Brett properly.

"Hey, boy, although you are a second-order, it seems that your strength is higher than mine, but don't be too complacent, strength is only one aspect. Men's battles are varied, both in the wilderness and in bed. Now, with your glass in hand, we must first decide the winner. ”

Brett's brother, Luke, who had apparently drunk a lot, suddenly raised his hand to hook Thor on the shoulder, and leaned over with the handle of the vat, while her wife, Wendy, pinched him with a blushing face.

Saul humbly picked up his vat and clinked glasses with Brett after drinking with Luke.
