Chapter 62: The Only Light
"Boss Makaev, this chick is really smart, at first glance, she is a young lady from a big family! But I don't understand why she was chased by those dogs and errands. ”
On an unknown forest path near Djerkhara, a rough man in fur armor and a covered wooden shield picked his nose as if no one was around, and looked at the girl who was following his boss with unscrupulous eyes, and kept yelling in his mouth.
Several of his companions seemed to have long been accustomed to his rough appearance, and they looked like they were turning a blind eye. In fact, most of them are like that. This was evident in the way they stared at the girl in a daze, and they had no scruples about the feelings of the girl who had almost hung her head to the ground in shame, and their hungry eyes roamed over her with impunity. Looking at that posture, if it hadn't been for their boss to stop them, they would have turned into wolves and swallowed this docile little sheep into their stomachs.
But now, after all, the boss's prestige is still there, and they don't dare to go against his will, so they can only enjoy it for a while. They still couldn't understand why the boss was so protective of such an unknown girl, and didn't allow them to touch her in the slightest.
Does it say............ He wants to eat alone?! That's what almost all the bandits present thought.
Not to mention what this group of bandits thought, the boss Makhaev in their mouth really didn't have this kind of idea at this time. He turned his head to look at the girl behind him, trying to squeeze a gentle smile out of his face. Despite the fact that the smile looked a little scary to the girl, she knew that he had really done his best.
The perennial life in the green forest has long made this man from Vekia forget how to be kind to others, and the reason why he takes special care of this girl is probably not even he can say it himself.
The girl turned her head sideways, avoiding his gaze, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "You guys...... Where are you going to take me, I'm going to find my dad and my brother, and I'm anxious if they can't find me. Please, let me go to them! ”
Makaev looked at her shy and vigilant appearance, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, as if he had been smashed into his heart by something, and only after a while opened his mouth and said: 'Inside...... You see it, too, the bastards...... That group of officers and soldiers killed people without blinking. Your mother, oh, sorry! I didn't mean to mention it, don't cry, don't cry, I'm begging you, okay! Aren't you still looking for your dad and your brother? Okay, no problem, we'll show you for it! But now we have to leave this area first, after all, the shouting and killing just now is so loud, and a few people have run away, and the officers and soldiers will definitely catch up after a while! Do you want your mother's blood to be shed in vain? Don't worry, although we are not good people, we will definitely not do anything to you! I swear to God, okay? Will you believe me? “
Jessica wiped her tears and looked at him warily and timidly. In her father's words, she used to be so willing to trust people, but since that incident she has never been willing to trust people again.
After a long while, she realized that the onlookers were about to rush up and forcibly take her, so she reluctantly nodded at Makaev, and then silently followed him closely, walking forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot. She's very simple, but that doesn't mean she's a fool. The current situation forced her to make a choice among these people, and she could see in Makaev's eyes that he was the only one who could give her a little security.
Makoev turned to her and smiled encouragingly, and warned his restless men with a fierce look, and only after seeing them tamely bow their heads and not dare to look him in the eye did he set out on his return journey. After all, this seemingly peaceful trail is not so peaceful!
In fact, the "good men" who have been begging for a living near Djerkara recently also know that Count Atlas has long been furious because of their raids. He sent several teams of "greyhounds" to search for their traces nearby, and many of his colleagues had already been hacked by them, and their heads were cut off and sent to the city to exchange money.
They also knew that the bounty for their men had reached the high price of eighty dinars for a human head, which was higher than the price of being sold alive to a slave trader. Sometimes they themselves have the urge to cut off the heads of their peers and get the manager in charge of the matter in exchange for some money. However, they also knew that if they did this, not to mention that other colleagues would not make them feel better, I am afraid that they would not even be able to enter the gate of Djerkhara, and they would be cut off their heads by the "greyhounds" who heard the wind in exchange for rewards.
"Peliura, what do you mean by Boss Makaev! This little girl's skin just makes the brothers feel good, why do you have to take her home. ”
Behind them, a Kujit with a mustache leaned into the ear of a nearby Wikibian and whispered a conversation.
The wiki named Petriula glared at him angrily, and said impatiently: "Why do you ask me who I will go, how can I know what Boss Makaev is thinking!" ”
"Aren't you also a Wikibian! I just want to ask what's wrong, what the hell are you yelling at! ”
"Why the hell am I yelling! The boss is not good at business, so he has to learn how to be a thief. What else do you say to see other orphans and widows being bullied to help, now it's okay! Originally, we had nine brothers, but now with you and me, there are only seven left, and in the end, we didn't even have half of Septin! We made such a big move just now, and killed six spearmen, and it was strange that the gray dogs of the nobles didn't smell the smell and caught up! I'm also a Wikibian, and even if I'm a worm in his stomach, I don't know what he's thinking! ”
"Shhhh Hush! You haven't yelled yet! You can't be quiet, so that the boss hears and sees who can save you! ”
"Gotta gotcha, I won't say it. Now, I can see that we people are all cheap. No one cares about us, even we look down on ourselves. But what does it matter, there is wine today and drunk today! Even if Ming'er's group of greyhounds bite us, we are not afraid, the head has fallen off a bowl and a big scar, who is afraid of whom! The boss can think whatever he wants, and do whatever he wants, anyway, we people can only think about it, and we don't care! Come and drink, the wine brought by these dogs is really good, do you want it! ”
"Fuck, drink! Lao Tzu came to this world to walk this way, isn't that, do it! ”
"Why don't you drink less, save me some! You Kugit dog, watch out for Lao Tzu to shoot your dog's head! ”
"Haha, you Wiki dog, didn't you just learn to play hesitation with other minstrels! I've finished drinking, what can you do with me! Your arrows are powerful, and we Kugit people are not bad, look who is powerful! ”
"Okay! If you don't accept it, you will compare it, whoever instigates it is a dog! ”
Makaev smiled helplessly as he watched the two children chase and fight, but he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping the two of them. In fact, putting aside the fact that the two of them are friends in life and death, in fact, it is still normal for such fights among other bandits. As Petliura said, these people are all cheap, and even if someone dies if they are not careful in the fight, no one will care about them.
It's all fate, and whoever God gives it to must take it. However, no matter how humble a person is, no matter how deep he hides himself in the shadows, there will still be sunshine in his heart.
Makaev looked back at the girl behind him, the girl who was stepping on his footprints a little bit forward, and couldn't help but smile.
Yes, my only light.
