Chapter 103: Distress on the Road
Duoduo got into the carriage and saw two people sitting in the car, a young woman and a child, the woman was wearing a curtain and a hat, and Duoduo could feel the young woman's extraordinary bearing through the curtain.
"I've seen Mrs.!" Duoduo also cares about the other party's name, seeing that he has a child, he always feels that it is not wrong to call Mrs. directly.
Pushier saw through the curtain that the other party was so young that he was a master of flying in the sky, and he couldn't help but be a little curious in his heart, but it was not clear whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so she didn't dare to show it enthusiastically, so she said coldly: "The young man can call me Mrs. Xi." β
"Yes, Mrs. West!"
Then the two of them stopped talking, and they saw that each other was lukewarm, and it was not good to say anything.
Simon, who was just on one side, was a child after all, how could he stand the loneliness, and soon spoke:
"Uncle, what's your name? I heard my mother say that you are the big bird in the sky. β
Simon was speechless, and Pushier scolded: "Simon, don't talk nonsense! How can my uncle be a big bird, and when did my mother say that my uncle is a big bird?"
Duoduo couldn't say that he was a big bird in the sky, and explained: "Your name is Simon, right? Uncle is a human being, and he accidentally fell from the sky before, so he is not a big bird." β
Simon was puzzled and asked, "Why did Uncle fall from the sky?
Duoduo is not easy to explain, and it can't be said that it fell from the spatial rift, so he lied: "Uncle originally had a big bird, but the big bird left Uncle and flew away alone, so Uncle fell like this." As for the countless stars in the sky, they are naturally invisible during the day, but they can be seen at night. β
Simon smiled and said, "It must be that my uncle is too fat, and that big bird can't move my uncle, so I left you and flew away alone." β
Duoduo smiled awkwardly and complimented: "Simon is so smart, you guessed it." β
Simon was so happy to be complimented that he was very smart, and then he didn't pay any attention to Duoduo, but stuck his head out of the carriage and looked at the sky.
Time passed quickly, and soon night fell, at which point John called off the carriage and prepared a fire on the prairie to cook.
Duoduo jumped out of the car and stretched his limbs, then came over to help John dig the earthen stove.
You must know that you can't make a fire in the grassland, you must dig an earthen stove to make a fire, and then empty the hay three meters away from the earthen stove, otherwise it is easy to cause a grassland fire.
John looked like a veteran, and soon he was digging an earthen stove. Then take a bag of potatoes from the wagon, place them in an earthen oven, and sprinkle a thin layer of soil on top of the potatoes.
This is the first time Duoduo has seen such a cook, and he is curious to watch from the sidelines. If he saw that there was no dry firewood, he immediately ran to pick up some dry firewood and came back.
There is not only grass on this grassland, but also dwarf trees. It's autumn and winter, and the trees in the Bella steppe have begun to dry up, leaving only the rhizomes to survive underground, so it is very convenient to start a fire.
As the flame rises, the warmth spreads. At night, the temperature drops sharply in the grasslands, which has a lot to do with the lack of clouds in the sky.
Simon and his mother got out of the carriage, and the four of them gathered around the earthen stove.
An hour passed, and the potato test was ready.
John used a thicker stick to flip the potatoes out of the ashes, and a fragrant smell of potatoes came out.
Duoduo already knew it was a potato, but he had never eaten it. So he reached for the potatoes, which were hot, and John reminded, "Young man, be careful, it's still hot." β
Duoduo is not afraid of the six flavors of real fire, and is naturally not afraid of the heat of this potato. He picked up the potatoes and broke them in half with both hands.
"Simon, you're half and I'm half!"
Duoduo is embarrassed to eat first, and half of it is not considered to eat first if you give half of it to the little guy.
Simon was also hungry at this time, and wanted to get the half of the potato, but his mother stopped him and said, "Young man, you eat first, Simon is afraid of being hot, and I will give it to him later." β
Duoduo nodded and responded: "In this case, I will eat this half first, and the other half will be cooled by Simon first." β
Seeing that the other party was so kind, Simon thanked a lot in his heart, so he thanked: "Uncle, you are so good, thank you!"
"Yes, I'm eating and drinking halfway, and when I get to the city, I'll treat you to a big meal. β
"Uncle, are you serious? I haven't eaten meat for many days, and when you get to Ram City, you have to talk and count!"
The little guy is very naΓ―ve, looking at Duoduo, for fear that he will play tricks in the future.
Duoduo swallowed half of the potato in his mouth, then stretched out a hand and said, "A word is a decision, we swear by the hook!"
Then one of them holds out a finger and draws the hook to take an oath.
After pulling the hook, Simon was overjoyed in his heart, he finally had meat to eat, and after not eating meat for a few days, he almost forgot the taste of meat.
Seeing Simon's happy appearance, Pursil couldn't bear to spoil his mood. So he whispered: "Young man doesn't have to care about Simon, this little guy is a glutton." β
If you say a lot of words and spill water, you will naturally not regret it.
"Mrs. Xi is saying this, children are the most innocent and pure, and we must not spoil their pure hearts. But where did Lady Si come from, and why did she go to the city of Lamu?"
Pursil saw that Duoduo had no bad intentions along the way, so he told the truth.
"Back to Shaoxia, we fled from Haze City, and the place we went to was Ram City. The city of Ram is the capital of the Kingdom of Prague, and my husband was killed while guarding the city of Dozeha, and our mother and son fled because they wanted to settle in the city of Ram, hoping that he would take in my mother and son. β
Duoduo saw that the mother and son should have been clothed and fed, but now they were suffering, and they suddenly felt pity in their hearts.
"Madame Xi, I hope that your mother and son can be taken in by Baron Xishu, so that you can live a good life again. β
Pursil nodded, then picked a random potato and prepared it for dinner. She was also hungry, and she hadn't eaten any food for a long time, and her stomach was rumbling at this time.
It's just that John doesn't bake many potatoes, up to two per person. Duoduo ate one and a half, Simon ate two and a half.
"It tastes really good, but it's a little little!" Duoduo didn't feel anything, and said casually.
John was a little embarrassed and said, "Shaoxia, I'm really sorry, we brought too little food, so you didn't eat enough." It's just that there are still five days to go to Lamu City, and we have to save food, otherwise everyone will go hungry. β
Duoduo bowed and said: "Uncle John, don't always call me like this with a young man, my name is Xi Duoduo, you can call me Duoduo." β
John smiled and said, "In that case, I will call you Brother Duoduo, you can call me Brother John, so it is more cordial." β
"Well, that's good. β
Then the two laughed, and the relationship between the two was sublimated.
John then tells Toto about their experience of fleeing these days, and Pursil does not interrupt John, by which point she has seen that Toto is not a bad person.
It turned out that Simon's father, Siro, and his grandfather, Sidana, were the border guards of the Prague Kingdom, and the two had been guarding Haze City for more than 30 years.
Three years earlier, Sida had been killed in a campaign to encircle and suppress the Deserted Slaves, and later succeeded his father as the general of Haze.
It's just that the northwest of Haze City borders the Mobei Wasteland, and the desert slaves are extremely fierce and have extraordinary combat power, they are good at riding and shooting, and often attack the border cities.
Now it is autumn and winter, and in order to obtain supplies for the winter, the deserted slaves will do everything possible to attack Haze City.
As a general defending the city, Xilu has extraordinary combat power, but in the face of the endless tactics of the deserted slaves, he is also unable to prevent it, and finally he is poisoned.
Not long ago, Xilu and a lieutenant general went to a hotel to drink, which was an extremely common thing.
However, the desolate slaves had already figured out Xilu's preferences, and the other party was greedy for cups, and they liked to drink in the same hotel. So the desolate slaves detained the owner of this hotel early, and then asked some people to pretend to be Xiao Er to pour wine and serve food to Xilu and the deputy general.
At first, it was good, but as Xilu and the deputy general were a little drunk, the little two who pretended to be the desolate slave used poisoned wine to murder the two.
Xilu is also very cautious on weekdays, and immediately feels something is wrong after taking a sip of wine. It's just that the poison under the desert slave is not simple, and Xilu almost killed him when he drank it.
Then the desolate slaves came out, wanting to kill Xilu and the lieutenant general. The second general took four guards, and Xilu and the lieutenant general resisted desperately to let one of the guards escape.
When the fleeing guard fled, Siro told him to quickly let his wife and children escape from Haze City, and then defect to the uncle of Lamu City.
The fleeing guard fled, but he was also seriously wounded and died soon after.
Pursil and Simon reluctantly fled Haze City, but fortunately they were safe along the way, and they did not see any slaves chasing them these days.
Listening to John's general explanation of Simon's family, he was able to imagine the danger in the middle. If they had escaped without an escort, Simon and his mother would have been turned into underground ghosts by this time.
Simon was a little sad to hear that his father had died, but he was just a child and did not understand the consequences of losing his father, and soon he was no longer sad.
It's just that when Pushier thinks of the murder of Sir, he often cries in the dead of night. This is also the reason why her face is full of gloom and climbs to the top of her eyebrows.
What kind of person Simon's Grand Bossy Baron was, Pursil did not know, but he had heard that he was powerful and powerful, and he didn't know anything else.
Time passed quickly, and it was already the third watch in the middle of the night.
On the Bella grassland, a wolf roar broke the silence of the night.
Oh...
Pushier is awakened by a wolf's roar, and John and Duoduo wake up with him.
John walked out of the sheepskin bag with some nervousness, and then took out a steel sword from the carriage.
He couldn't see the steppe wolves around him clearly, so he could only carefully watch in all directions by a little starlight.
Suddenly, a palm was placed on her shoulder, and John looked back to see that it was Duoduo, and reminded: "Brother Duoduo, be careful yourself, this steppe wolf is elusive, and I am afraid I won't be able to take care of you when they come." β
Duoduo smiled and said, "Brother John, you don't have to panic, with me, they can't hurt you." β
Oh...
The wolf's roar got closer, and it didn't take long to wake Simon.
Then the little one was so frightened that he cried, and Pursil hugged him tightly, so that Simon stopped crying.
The mother and son snuggled up to each other, and at this time Pursil was also afraid, just for the sake of the child, she had to be strong.
Duoduo looked at the mother and son, and the desire to protect as a man rose.
"You don't have to worry, it's safe to be with me!" Duoduo comforted.
Simon seems to believe in Duoduo, because in his opinion, the other party is the big bird in the sky. He had seen a big bird on the prairie fly down to catch a wolf with his father, and he thought that this uncle in front of him would definitely catch the wolf.
"Uncle, you're a big bird, can you catch a wolf for me to eat later?" Simon asked innocently looking at Duoduo.
Duoduo nodded and responded: "Simon, you have to be good, don't cry, uncle will catch a wolf for you to eat, okay?"
Simon nodded obediently, he was a little looking forward to the arrival of the wolf, but he was not afraid at this time.
"Mom, you see uncle is so good, let's wait for him to catch a wolf for me to eat. β
Pursil looked at Simon and asked, "Simon, do you like uncle?"
Simon nodded and said, "Uncle is Big Bird, he is Simon's good friend!"
Pursil smiled and hugged Simon tightly in his arms.
Soon the steppe wolf arrived, and by the light of the stars, John was able to see the wolf.
At this time, he was a little nervous, because there were more than thirty wild wolves coming, and he was probably not an opponent with his skills.
Duoduo saw that his feet were trembling, and said, "Brother John, you can protect Simon's mother and son, and I will deal with these wild wolves." β
John wanted to insist, but the truth was that he was no match for the wolf. Since Duoduo was going to make a move, he immediately retreated to Simon's mother and son, and then reminded: "Brother Duoduo, you be careful. β
For Duoduo, although John doesn't want to see him die, he would rather die more than protect Simon's mother and son.
Duoduo ate one and a half potatoes from others, and now it's natural time to contribute.
He took out his flying sword, and then shouted at the steppe wolf, "All on, you bloodthirsty brutes. β
The wolf king was hiding nearby, and he didn't rush to make a move, only to see it let out a low roar, and then the wolves attacked Duoduo.
For this kind of ordinary beast, how could Duoduo's opponent, at this time, his spiritual power was hidden, and it didn't seem to have the slightest fluctuation.
Just as the wolves pounced, Duoduo killed one with a single sword.
At this time, the wolves are like moths to a fire, killing themselves. After a while, five wild wolves were killed, and the wolf king not far away saw that the prey was too strong, so he let out a low roar again, and then the remaining wild wolves were unwilling to flee the battlefield.
Duoduo sensed the wild wolf escaping and said with a smile: "Simon, come here, we have wolf meat to eat." β
Simon broke free of his mother's hands and ran cheerfully. These wild wolves were so vicious before, and they still have a fierce look in their eyes when they die, but Simon is not afraid of them. Because of the abundance, Simon felt very safe.
John came over and praised, "It turns out that Brother Duoduo is so skilled, I was worried before. β
Duoduo grinned and said, "Brother John is too famous, these wild wolves didn't look for me just now, otherwise I am afraid it will be difficult for me to resist." β
John naturally knew that the other party was saying something modest, and no longer dwelled on the issue. With so many dead wolves, it was enough for him and Simon's mother and son to survive five days, so he asked, "Brother Duoduo, what are you going to do with these wolves?"
"Naturally, they were roasted and eaten, as I promised Simon. Duoduo looked at Simon and said, "Simon, what I said counts, and we will have barbecue to eat later." β
Simon smirked and watched the wolf drool.
