37 Two Knights
The sun has risen, the sun has not yet appeared, and the weather is the coolest and most comfortable, which is the best time of the day to work diligently.
That's what Lassi heard the priest say to the old man, the left ear.
Since it was said by the pastor, it is naturally what God said, and God cannot be wrong.
So when the old man went on the expedition, he also explained this to Lassy.
Since it was said by the master, then naturally it is what the priest said, and that nature is what God said, and God will not be wrong.
So Lassi said the same to the people.
Since it was Lassi who said it, it was naturally said by the master, then it was naturally said by the pastor, and then it was naturally what God said, and God could not be wrong.
But the people were not used to it, and many of them felt a little dizzy when they got up so early to work, and some people cautiously asked Lassi if they could send more bean cakes or bread, perhaps because they got up too early, the weather was colder, they did more work, and they ate lessβmany people couldn't work hard, no, they could consider giving one more piece of bean cake or half a piece of bean cake, so that they could work with a more positive attitude.
If you don't have bean cakes, bread is fine.
"When the priest told the master, he didn't mention the bean cake and bread!" Lassi pointed to his left ear and said, "This ear is hearing with your own ears, do you think God is deliberately starving you?" β
God can't be wrong.
That must be their belly wrong.
If you eat too much, you will go hungry, which is the great sin of greed.
Why do you always think about bean cakes in your head? It's all because of sin.
Let's work, work a lot, help the lord earn enough money, and the lord will go to the city at the end of the year to help them all buy indulgences to atone for their sins.
Huoya had already thought about the bean cake three times in his head, and every time he remembered it, he raised his head back, looked at the holy little yang that had just risen, and silently prayed for an atonement. On the horizon in the distance, the sinful sun was stirring underground, and Tooth remembered what Lassi had said, the priest had said.
Yes, it's really cool and comfortable now, except for ...... Damn, he thought of bean cakes for the fourth time.
Just as he lowered his head, ready to stop the sin in his heart through hard work, he saw two strangers walking in the distance.
They looked like merchants because they were carrying a large package on their backs, which was supposed to be their goods. There was no donkey cart or ox cart to be seen, perhaps because they were using a cart, and the horses were taken away by the church.
The package was bulging, and it looked very ...... Heaviness. Yes, especially now that it is summer, and when the sun comes out, it will definitely be very difficult to walk with such a heavy bag on your back. Tooth turned his head and looked at Lassy, his attention not on his side, he obviously hadn't noticed the two merchants yet.
Tooth's mind began to tangle as to whether he should turn back and risk being whipped to tell Lassi about the discovery, or whether he would just watch the two unarmed merchants swagger past their territory. These two ignorant fellows didn't even come over to give them two bean cakes as a sign of their respect - they didn't have the realisation of a knight's realm at all!
But the indignation in Huoya's heart was soon defeated by the protest of the stomach, and if he turned around and walked over to report, he would be very tired, if Lassi hadn't changed his mind, he would have to be whipped a few times, and he would have to walk back again, he would be even more tired, he couldn't work, and when he ate, he wouldn't be able to grab the bean cakes...... Damn, it's the fifth bean cake!
Tooth finally decided to do nothing, and the two merchants walked slowly, and the others would notice, and the others would report...... Huoya is looking forward to it in his heart.
The two merchants seemed to hear the prayer of the open teeth, probably tired of walking, and they stopped, one of them rummaging through the package. Maybe it's preparing bean cakes and taxes for the lord. Huoya couldn't help but drool in his mouth and thought about it again, and then he couldn't help but raise his head, trying to see what kind of business this merchant was doing.
Then his eyes froze, and he completely lost the ability to think.
The "merchant" first found a piece of chain mail from the package, which shone brightly in the sunlight like silver. Compared to the chain mail of the "merchant", the mass that the old man wore when he went out on the expedition was simply scrap iron filings.
And then there is a helmet, which even the lord has always been envious of, and he can't afford it, and the helmet that protects the whole head in luxury! In many of the knight stories that Tooth has heard, such a helmet is always the top equipment of a knight, which means that the lord values the knight's life more than the knight himself - which usually means that the knight is already quite effective at slaughtering. In the knightly story, a knight wearing such a helmet is on the battlefield like a tiger in the forest.
Now the tiger was staring at itself, and soon, it showed its claws!
A sword that also shines! It's like it was just forged out of the furnace!
This guy in front of you is not a businessman! Damn, he should have thought a long time ago, how could there be such a stupid businessman! He's a robber! No, maybe even more terrible, he's a knight!
He jumped up violently and ran desperately in the direction of Lassy, shouting out the results of his thoughts all the way: "Robber! Bandit! Knight! Knights in armor! β
Just like many times in the previous drills, all the people working nearby, hearing the sound, subconsciously gathered near Lassy, they didn't know the scale of the enemy at the moment, they didn't dare to run around, they could only gather together like hedgehogs, and then carefully observe the surrounding environment.
The knight walked towards them, and the farming tools in their hands did not seem to intimidate each other in the slightest. Lassi had the courage to shout to the man, "The wheat has been transported, there is nothing to take here, go to the house in front, they have harvested the wheat late!" β
"We've all been on the battlefield, the priest said, during the holy war, the knights don't have preferential treatment, you better leave quickly, we won't pursue it."
As Lassi struggled to think of potentially threatening words and phrases that would distract them, the people had discovered the most important fact - there were no more people surrounding them. They can run away!
So what are you waiting for?
The five smartest guys, having realized this fact for the first time, had already run out as fast as they could, and two of them were still shouting, "Let's go back and call someone!" β
As soon as Lassi turned his head, six more ran out from the front.
Lassi raised the whip, and the rest of the people were so hungry that they couldn't run fast, and he whipped them a few times, but they didn't run, but the muscles on their faces were trembling, and the hands of the farm tools they were holding were as if they were sick, and they were trembling terribly.
The knight suddenly took something from his waist and put it to his mouth, and then there was a loud voice. With this voice, the knight pointed his sword at them.
Although they didn't see the army led by the knights, everyone knew that if they didn't run now, they might never have a chance.
Tooth was the last to run with Lassy, and they ran back to the old man's house in one go, and when everyone entered the gate, they lowered the deadbolt. At this time, Huoya didn't even have the strength to breathe, so he lay on the ground and kept pumping.
Everyone waited in the house for a while, but instead of waiting for the other party to chase after them, they were the first to run back, because the warning signal was transmitted in time, and the leaders who were working around the village all gathered at the edge of the house at this moment.
There are more than 200 people, and the whole village can move, all of them are here.
Old, young, female...... Everyone was whispering what had happened, and the old butler asked Lassi worriedly, and Lassy's answer made him frown.
It won't be those heretics of the Great Yang Sect, preparing to attack the Little Yang Sect from here!
But soon, everyone's answers dispelled his doubts, and the old butler's expression gradually became intriguing.
"Just, two knights?"
"One, the other is an old man, not wearing armor."
"Ah, just a knight." The old butler seemed to feel a little pity, and calculated the price of the knight's ransom now, and he could add two donkeys to the mill.
"He's covered in silver armor."
"And a sword made of silver."
Two cows, horses, and even war horses are not out of the question...... The old butler is a bit too much, the number is too big.
"They don't have horses?" This is the most critical information, and it's almost unbelievable.
"Nope." All those on the scene were categorical.
"That's it," the old butler slapped the table hard and made a decision, "capture them alive!" After that, everyone can get a bean cake! β
Everyone excitedly raised the farm tools in their hands and cheered heartily for the future bean cake.
