Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sandy Wood
"Peake, wait for me, what are you doing so fast?" Ryder chased all the way, and finally caught up with Peake, and teased: "Stimulated? Look in the direction you are going, but you want to go home, what are you going to do when you go home? Make a noble cane? That's right, Peake, we can also do that kind of low-level thing!"
Peake ignored him and quickly walked home with his head down.
"I said, you can't be angry, it's not your character, Pique, it's just a little joke. Ryder saw Peake rush into the yard and rushed out the door on Big Black Foot, "Your hat Peake!"
Ryder tossed the blue hat and threw it into Pique's hand.
All the way north, Big Black Paw seemed to sense Pique's seriousness, appeared very obedient, and ran hard according to Pique's instructions.
Half an hour later, Pique appeared in the hunter's courtyard.
The hunter Agares and the hunter's assistant Orr disappeared, completely disappeared, but the hunter's courtyard did not disappear, and in the yard, there were still piles of wood cut by Pique.
Peake glanced blankly at the hunter's courtyard, remembered the kind hunter and the hunter's assistant who loved to be in a daze, and walked into the courtyard.
Although the hunter would only let him chop wood every day.
Although the hunter's assistant would only lie on the grass in a daze every day.
But when they disappeared, Pique couldn't help but feel a faint sadness in his heart.
Orr was a very dull and silly teenager, and one night, Orr asked Pique, "If I turned into a giant timberwolf, would you be afraid of me?"
That stupid boy fantasized about being a timberwolf!
If the hunter Agareth and the hunter's assistant Orr were to appear to him now, he would still be willing to trust them, even if they were hunted by the Knight of Light not so long ago.
In fact, ever since Pique came to the Hunter's Yard, his heart has been filled because he has found something to fight for.
To lure the king over in person, the hunter Agareth must be a hidden man, and the information and hints he gives about Hayska must be very useful.
"Perhaps, there will be a chance to meet them in the future. Peake muttered to himself and wandered around the courtyard for a while.
Fortunately, the Sandy wood was placed in the small courtyard and was not lost.
The hardness of this wood is extremely rare, and after more than a decade of chopping, this is the hardest wood that Peake has ever cut, and Agareth said that the wood came from the Sandy tree, and gave him a seed of the Sandy tree, telling him that it would be ready for growth in a month.
Peake pulled out the rope he had brought with him, tied a bundle of lumber and hung it on Big Blackfoot, and then went to the back of the house to check the seeds he had sown, and saw that the seed had grown into a small tree the thickness of an arm, with a straight trunk and bright green leaves, like a small willow tree ten times smaller.
Pique estimated the time in his mind, and according to what Agareth said, he should have to wait for another half a month.
He simply tidied up the hunter's yard, repaired the wooden fence that had been knocked down in front, and was busy until noon, and in just one morning, the originally messy courtyard had undergone earth-shaking changes, he stopped what he was doing, looked at the fruits of his labor, was very satisfied, and rode on the big black foot again, and ran in the direction of home.
Pique wouldn't do something meaningless, he always felt in his heart that Agares and Orr were still alive, and he helped them tidy up the courtyard, and if they came back, it would save a lot of trouble.
As if he knew that Pique would come back, outside the gate, Ryder was lying there bored and knocking melon seeds.
"Good fellow, hard-working little Peake, what have you brought me!" Ryder unloaded the Sandy wood that was tied to Big Black Feet, and in an instant, his arm sank under the weight of the trapped wood, and he was shocked, "What kind of wood is this, why is it so thick." ”
Ryder shuddered and carried the bundle of lumber into the yard, and Peake explained in the back, "This is our wood of fortune!"
Peake pulled out a piece of wood, looked at the natural grain on it, and said with satisfaction, "This is the result of a month of chopping." ”
"What wood! What wood! As long as we make that 'noble cane' out of this wood, we will definitely be able to throw off that dog-eyed guy who looks down on people two streets!" Ryder has been immersed in the carpenter's family for more than ten years, and he can also see some doorways.
"What's the noise in the yard?, has the holy water been bought?" Ryder's grandfather trembled out of the main building.
Ryder excitedly said, "Old fellow, we have something better than holy water, look at this piece of wood." ”
"Don't call me an old fellow!" the old man struck Ryder with a hard blow on the head.
As a veteran of the carpentry industry for fifty years, he could certainly see the difference in the wood at a glance.
He groped his hands on the Sandy wood with his hands that were rougher than wood, feeling the texture on it, and gradually, the wrinkles on his face slowly wrinkled, and he turned his gaze to Pique, and said in a deep voice, "You crossed the Endless Wall?"
Pique was shocked, how could his grandfather know about crossing the Great Wall, it was true that he had crossed the Great Wall, but it was also held hostage by a group of timberwolves.
"I'm ......," Peake was about to explain, when the old man picked up the log and slammed it at Peake.
Because of his height, the old guy's sticks were all knocked on Pique's shoulders, knocking Pique back again and again.
"Because of a few broken logs, you go to the Endless Wall, don't you want to die? Climb over the Endless Wall without authorization, and the Imperial patrol soldiers will find out, and they will lock you up for three months, do you know, let me tell you, three months of tight closure is enough to drive a normal person crazy! Aside from these, can you go to the Endless Forest? Any beast in there can tear you to slag, and the terrifying timber wolf can smell you through the city wall, and you dare to go over the wall to the Endless Forest! Do you want to be angry with me!"
Pique was knocked on the shoulder and felt numb, and he wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to say it, could it be that he was chased by the Knight of Light? Or that he was held hostage by the Timberwolves?
"Hahaha!" Ryder laughed gloating as he watched Peake being beaten, and then wondered, "Grandfather, how do you know that these woods are from the north side of the Endless Wall?
Bang! Ryder got a stick on the thigh, too.
"Old guy, I didn't go over the wall, what are you knocking me for!"
"You don't look at him well, let him run around blindly, after a month of wandering outside, I thought he died outside! This is a Sandy wood that can only grow in the Endless Forest, didn't he come from over the wall? For a few logs, don't you want to die?"
The old man looked angry, he was sure that this was Sandy Wood from the Endless Forest, this kid had actually climbed over the Endless Wall, what had he experienced in the past month?
Ryder saw that his grandfather was really angry, and he was no longer smiling, so he turned to Peak and said, "You can explain to grandfather, just cut wood in the north, how to cut wood into the endless forest." ”
Peake was also shocked in his heart, he knew that Orr, the hunter's assistant, would go to the northern forest every day to cut wood, but what he didn't expect was that he was not going to the primeval forest, but to the endless forest further north! The primeval forest and the endless forest are separated by a wall, but there is an essential difference, and besides, how did Orr pull such a big tree over the city wall? Is it digging a hole? There is no other way except for a few gates of the Great Wall that can normally transport that huge wood? The most important thing is, do the two of them go hunting in the Endless Forest every day......?
"Why don't you explain it soon?" Ryder looked at Peake in a daze and gave him a push on the shoulder.
"Ah, that's it...... Peake won't lie, he can only say that he was chased by the Knight of Light, fled on the big black foot, and kept saying that he was kidnapped by a group of timberwolves, and then saved the wolf king......
Bang!
Peake only felt a flicker in front of his eyes.
This time, the sturdy rod landed directly on Pique's head.
"Okay, good, you kid! You have learned to lie! Can you lie with a little skill, I told you the story of the Bright Knight and the Timberwolf, and it seems that he also told it to you, are you good, imagine yourself as the god of light? Wake up, stinky boy! Save the wolf king, why don't you save the world!"
Pique was speechless when he was scolded, his head was swollen with a big bag, his brain was dizzy, and at this moment, he felt that everything that happened before was a dream.
"Well, I was asked to cut these woods, and I didn't know they were from the Endless Forest. ”
The old guy was so tired that he was out of breath. He reluctantly accepted Peake's explanation, saying, "All the wood is confiscated, and I'll put it in the backyard storage room later, and you Peake! You must go home and sleep at night, Ryder, you supervise him!"
After the old man finished speaking, he rubbed his sore arm and went back to the main building.
"Well, the 'noble cane' plan has come to naught. Pique was knocked on a sore shoulder, and the big bag on his head was slowly expanding......
"You stupid, you say, I will confiscate you and give it to him! Why are you so obedient?"
"That ......"
"Let's take a piece of wood and try it first, there is enough wood to make a 'noble cane', and then we don't sell ten copper coins, we can make a lot of money by selling three copper coins!"
"Okay, let's make one, and then we can make one and give it to my grandfather, or we can give him back the money we sold." ”
Ryder covered his face with his big hand and said helplessly, "God, save this child." ”
