Chapter 50: Pavron (3)
Sonny. Wood, a boy of only nineteen years old, was tall for a Rhodoc, almost a meter eighty-one, and with his thick brown curls, he looked even taller. Unlike his older brother, who was weak and elegant, Sonny was a irascible and martial young man. In his short life, Gammich's impulsiveness and irritability caused him and his family a lot of problems, but it also trained his ability to deal with some "villains".
After leaving Garmic and coming to Pavron, he slowly learned to restrain his temper and become amiable under the strict demands of his father and brother. It's strange to say, Sonny, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, except for his father, is the most feared big brother who seems to be weak and unruly.
After spending five years in such an ordinary life, except for some friends who accidentally met "on the road" in the middle, Sonny himself felt that he would probably be so dull in his life. Maybe one day his father and brother will be extra kind and allow him to join the lord's army, so that his life can get rid of this stagnant water.
Maybe I'm getting used to this ordinary life, but God won't let you have smooth sailing.
Just this morning, as usual, he said goodbye to his father and brother, and watched their carriage slowly drive towards the market, where their business was. Just as he was about to go out for a drink or two, his sister, the angelic Jessica, grabbed him by the arm.
She blinked her smart eyes and said coquettishly, "Brother, I want to go to the play." ”
And I actually agreed! Why did you promise her! If I hadn't taken my sister to the circus run by the gypsies, my sister wouldn't have met those scumbags, and if she hadn't met those scumbags, her sister wouldn't have almost been defiled by those bastards!
It's all your own fault! Sonny was weeping and thrashing his legs, which were now unconscious. But Sonny didn't care about his misery, he just regretted why he was so useless, why he let his sister see such atrocities!
Mrs. Wood heard the commotion in her son's room, and rushed in, hugged her son from behind, and said in grief, "Son! Don't think about anything, your father has already gone to the lord to complain, and they will definitely change us for fairness and justice! We'll watch and see what happens to them! ”
Sonny didn't want to see his mother sad, so he turned over and hugged his mother and comforted her softly.
At this time, Charlie. Wood walked in with a grim face.
"How's it going, have the brutes been punished as they deserve?"
Looking at his wife's eyes flashing with grief in anticipation, Charlie's heart became colder and colder. He closed his eyes for a while, desperately suppressing the surging emotion, and after a long while, he said in a quiet voice: "I have raised my son and daughter to become a new generation of young people who are law-abiding, humble and courteous. I believe in the Kingdom, in the laws of the Kingdom, and in the same way in the reputation of the Earl of Jehamer. They were the ones who brought me everything I have now, a peaceful and quiet life, conditions of abundance. But now! “
Charlie couldn't help choking up when he said this, and he paused before he said: "I went to the lord of the lord as a lord of my duty, hoping that he could help us punish the bad guys for the sake of my many years of law-abiding." That's right, the little rascals were indeed arrested, and they were taken to the lord's family church to stand trial. With all the human and material evidence, they could not deny it, and the chief steward pronounced the sentence under the icon, and sentenced these shameless bastards to pay only two hundred dinars in compensation, and to be confined to their homes for three months! They were free even after the verdict was over, and they looked at me mockingly like an idiot! “
Mrs. Wood finally looked desperate, although her daughter was not really violated, but it was still not good to say it after all, and her reputation was ruined in this life. And his favorite youngest son had his legs broken because he was protecting his sister. And at the moment, those villains are still at large, he really doesn't know what to do, he just covers his face and can't stop crying.
Charlie looked at his grief-stricken wife, and then at his son who was sitting on the bed with blank eyes, gritted his teeth and thought fiercely: Since the law can't give him the fairness he wants, then he will get justice in his own way! Enough tears have been shed in the tears of their own family, and now, it's their turn!
Charles naturally didn't know what Charlie was thinking in the room, and the reason why he followed was just to wonder what the sufferer would do in the face of injustice, but since he had no intention of retaliating at the moment, there was no need for him to get involved and get into trouble.
Charles flicked the long sword on his waist gently, it had been drinking a lot of blood for a while, Charles lovingly brushed away a trace of dust accidentally stained on it, and remembered the appearance of Elena secretly giving this sword to herself, it was so shy and so cute.
"Hey, man, you'd better not mess around, we have no ill will. But if you do something irrational, it's not necessarily, I want to tell us, why do you want to follow Wood as a foreigner, and still wander around Wood's door, what do you want to do! “
Charles looked up, and several strong men with "I'm not a good person" written on their faces blocked his way, and the bald man led by him was looking at him with a grim face, his hands behind his back, and Charles didn't have to guess that there was a short knife hidden there. Charles looked around and noticed that seven or eight of these men had unconsciously gathered nearby, with bulging waists and unknown weapons.
Charles narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Huh! What a big show! I don't know if you're brave or idiot enough to provoke a noble knight captain of the kingdom! “
The ruthless characters who surrounded them all changed color slightly when they heard this, but they were embarrassed to admit it for the sake of face, and just stared at Charles with big eyes. Just when Charles was almost unable to contain his anger, a cold voice sounded beside him.
"Lao Bo, what are you doing at my doorstep! This is a friend, and he and his men helped catch those bastards before, so don't be abrupt friends! “
Charles turned around with a smile and saw a man in a white silk robe looking at him with a smile and an apologetic bow to him.
Charles waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about the offense of these people. The strong men also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and apologized to Charles, and the guy who led them was even more exaggerated, almost kneeling down and kowtowing to Charles. Naturally, Charles would not let him fall like this, and hurriedly stopped him.
Just when Charles thought he was okay and was about to leave, the man not far away spoke again: "Lord Charles, I wonder if I can invite you to the Burrow to thank you for your help." “
Charles was stunned, then smiled and nodded.
He's really an interesting person, so let's find out first.
