Chapter 229: The Mystery of Death (Part 3)
Like the ebb tide, all the Saxon soldiers quickly retreated from the city walls, and scattered to the rear camp with siege engines, ladders and other equipment.
An unprecedented crisis in the city of Lebour was resolved by Eugen in this way, and watching the Saxon soldiers leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and the strength of their whole body seemed to be instantly drained.
Some of the soldiers fell to the ground and fell asleep with weak legs, in fact, the city guard is now completely at the end of the crossbow, if those Saxon soldiers insist on attacking, I am afraid that none of the people present will survive.
Eugen also had a feeling of the aftermath of his life, Corleone's betrayal was really beyond his expectations, this battle was the toughest battle he had ever faced, and it was a bit of luck to be able to survive it.
The soldier could fall to sleep, but he could not rest yet, and now that the Saxon soldiers had retreated, he still needed to arrange the defense of the city of Leber.
The more you are at this moment, the more you need to grit your teeth and persevere, and if you survive this period of time, it will be much easier in the future.
Soon, the soldiers of the city guard were arranged to defend the city walls, and Eugen, who had broken the gate, ordered a group of craftsmen to be brought in, and directly blocked the city gate with mud and stone slabs.
The makeshift walls were also limited in strength, but they were more than enough to withstand attacks, and this time they were on guard, and even if the enemy tried to blow the gates open with gunpowder, it would not be as easy as the last time.
After doing this, Eugen left the city walls and went back to his room to sleep peacefully.
He also stayed up until midnight last night, and today there was such a big battle, and then he gritted his teeth and persisted in one breath.
Eugen slept for eight hours, and when he opened his eyes, it was already dark outside.
"Christmas Eve......" Eugen muttered as he lay on the bed, then rolled over and sat up from the bed.
At this time last year, his biggest worries were pimples and final exams, and on Christmas Eve, he walked down the street, and there were young men and women walking together, with excited smiles on their faces, talking and laughing loudly.
On the side of the road are vendors who buy apples, or set up stalls, or carry baskets, and on weekdays, the store sells apples for ten yuan and several catties, wrapped in a layer of flower paper, and inserted a paper flower, and sold for ten yuan each.
Eugen, or Wang Shaoyu, has never eaten apples on Christmas Eve, and he feels that those who spend money on apples at such times either have money and nowhere to spend, or they have a bad brain.
But to his surprise, on that day, a girl with a "bad brain" who had never noticed in the class wanted to give him such an apple.
At that time, the young man named Wang Shaoyu just rolled his eyes and glanced at the girl, and said with a polite smile: "I'm sorry, I don't buy apples, thank you......"
Then, there was no more, and then, he took the girl in the class for a stranger who sold apples, and the girl threw the apples in his face in anger and ran away crying.
Looking back now, Wang Shaoyu has forgotten the girl's name and appearance, and the only thing he remembers is that the apple tastes very sour.
Unexpectedly, a year later, it was also Christmas Eve, but Eugen was already in a different place, surrounded by bloody battlefields, many people were thinking about how to kill him, and he was also thinking about how to kill some people.
The cold wind howled in the night sky, blowing through the eaves and whistling, like the wail of a soul.
There is still some warmth in the quilt, and the duck down quilt is filled with this year's newly harvested cotton, which is soft and seems to still have the warm breath of the autumn sun.
Sitting on the bed, Eugen was in a trance, like a sleeping person suddenly awakened, and for a while he didn't know if he was really awake or in a deep dream.
"Is this all a dream?" Eugen said softly: "If I die, will it be the time to wake up from my dream, and I will be able to go back to the twenty-first century and become Wang Shaoyu again?" ”
A pointless question, at least not for a short time, Eugen didn't want to try, he raised his hands and rubbed his face vigorously, then rolled over and walked out of bed.
The drowsiness had disappeared, and he decided to go and see how the walls were being fortified, for there was chaos among the Saxon soldiers during the day, so they retreated, and now the chaos should have disappeared, and there was no guarantee that they would not return.
There was a basin of water in the bedroom, which the maid had specially prepared for him, and the two maids that Maria had given to Eugen had been dressing his life, like spring rain, moisturizing things silently, so that he did not have to worry too much about daily chores.
After washing his face and arranging his outfit, Eugen walked to the door and prepared to push it out.
At this moment, he faintly heard what seemed to be some talking outside the door.
"Hee-hee, be honest, what the hell did Eugen do in your room that day?" A nice female voice said in a mischievous tone.
"Oh, didn't I say it all? It's about the steel mill, Maria, you have to trust me, we are good sisters, and I won't lie to you. Margaret was very helpless, it had been several days, and Maria was still pestering her.
With a sparkle in her eyes, Maria smiled evilly and said, "No, such a good opportunity, you just let him go?" ”
Margaret was completely helpless, she held her forehead and said with a depressed face: "Maria, we're talking about your fiancé now, I said your heart is a little too big." ”
During Eugen's absence, the two developed a very deep friendship with each other, that is, they became so-called best friends.
The two usually meet, and when others are present, they speak very seriously, but once they are in private, all kinds of whispers are not scored.
Eugen was sweating profusely listening inside, these two women were too cruel, and they gathered at his door in the middle of the night to say something strange, what were they going to do? Could it be that he is greedy for his beauty and wants to take advantage of the night to do it for himself?
Eugen also started to think about the train in his head, and began to think endlessly, his face showed a little frightened expression at first, but then he thought of the wonderful picture, and the expression on his face changed instantly, and the corners of his mouth rose to reveal a very obscene smile.
"Damn, if that's the case, then God will be too good to me." Eugen thought shyly, and saliva was about to flow from the corners of his mouth.
At this time, he had already left behind what Christmas Eve, apples, female classmates, etc., full of ** brains, oh no, full of **, full of **, that is called a heart blooming.
Out of strange curiosity, Eugen did not interrupt the two men outside the door, but continued to crawl on the door to listen, wanting to see what else they had to say.
