Chapter 18: Halfway to the Road
Just as I was struggling with whether to split up a flea-like horse I had just caught, or to run it over with my fingernails, the carriage suddenly jolted violently and stopped.
The fleas in their hands jumped away......
In fact, I have become accustomed to stopping and stopping along the way, because the broken carriage I ride in often breaks due to various inexplicable faults such as axles, and the failure rate is estimated to be more than that of an eight-handed mountain climber, and I am tired of bumps along the way.
Please, big brothers, give me some strength, okay? If you don't give me a tour guide, forget it, the sightseeing bus is not powerful, and I am very unappetizing, I am still looking forward to this visa-free tour of France!
There was a commotion in front of the team, as if something had happened, a few knights who had been following the carriage immediately rushed to the front, and the two little attendants who were driving also probed their brains and whispered, and a strange atmosphere precipitated.
I stood up and tried to look out into the distance on my tiptoes, and through the layers of the wagon and the wide backs of the riders, I finally figured out the reason for the stop.
It's not the traffic police to check for drunk driving, but a big tree just fell in the middle of the road, judging from its characteristic fracture, it should be caused by a tool called an axe, is it a medieval illegal construction?
But what does it matter to me? I'm not a chengguan!
I shrugged my shoulders and sat cross-legged, and put my hand into the clothes I hadn't changed since I came to this era, patiently looking for my next target, for judging by the itching of my body, there were two fleas lurking in the midst of the old dirt, and I was convinced that the man who had just escaped was only an infatuated man, and would never give up his bosom love.
My YY was interrupted by a high-speed flying arrow, and a buddy next to the carriage who took off his helmet and was showing his hair was inexplicably pierced through his throat, and he made an incomprehensible strange sound in his throat, and rolled his eyes at me before he died, and then fell from the horse and died.
"Enemy attack! Protect the Baron! ”
The buddy who shouted this was the second unlucky guy who was accurately shot in the eye and landed on the ground with a backflip in a very difficult gymnastic move.
The scene in front of me made me lie on the carriage with my head in my hands, and if there was a lump of cow dung in front of me at this time, I wouldn't mind pretending to be an ostrich to hide myself a little deeper.
The rest of the battle was missed by my closed eyes, only to hear a jumble of sounds like "whoosh", "pursuo", "ahh
"Come with me!"
Before I could finish my words, a rude voice interrupted my hypocrisy, but the movement sounded familiar.
I opened my eyes and looked at it, the strong man in front of me was not the leader of the forest knights, who else could Jensen be!
The man calmly stepped on the carriage and looked down on the battlefield, the burly figure was like a black whirlwind carrying two plate axes in the Jiangzhou robbery field, from time to time with a bow and arrows to harvest the enemy's life, if you don't wear pants and a green hat, you will be a jungle Robin Hood.
"How are you?"
This kind of tense moment of swordsmanship and sword shadows, the stupid idiot usually asks this kind of time-consuming question, and it leads to extremely serious consequences, and obviously I am too.
"This is not the place to speak, the enemy has stabilized his position, my people can't last long, you quickly retreat with me!"
The leader of Jensen finished shooting the last arrow in his quiver, took me by the hand and plunged into the jungle to spread his legs and run, completely ignoring my physical endurance, the sharp branches of grass and branches cutting my white skin mercilessly.
I can't remember how I got to the camp of the forest knights, because after running for about a few hundred steps in a row, I fainted uncontrollably, and in a trance it seemed that a strong man carried me like a potato, completely ignoring my image, and continued to run without any effort, no wonder people became outlaws, and their physical fitness was very good, and the physical fitness of bad people from ancient times to the present day was much stronger than that of good people.
When I woke up, I was not in front of a figure in a classic movie who gently wiped my body, but several large faces that blocked the sky above my head, and almost scared me out again.
"Are you awake?"
One of the big faces was Jensen, and it was the one with the largest footprint.
"There's a bowl of hot wild vegetable soup here, you can drink it."
I struggled to sit up, squeezed out a smile and took the steaming wooden bowl and thanked me, "Thank you, Chief Jensen. ”
"You don't have to ask anything, just listen to me!"
Jensen patted me on the shoulder, an expression that I knew what you were going to say.
"These Frenchmen have been spotted by Robb the Rabbit Legs when they passed through the forest, and he is our best scout." Jensen gestured to a small man in the corner, who nodded at me with eyes as big as two light bulbs.
"So we began to follow them, all the way to your castle, during the siege we did not want to help you, but with our strength, there is no way to fight the regular knights face to face."
Jensen seemed to be very entangled in himself, not helping me in my most difficult times, rubbing his hands together repeatedly to hide his inner uneasiness.
"We have witnessed your skillful defense skills and heroic resistance, and although you were outnumbered and captured, you ordered your men to give up resistance in order not to harm innocent lives, you are truly a noble knight!"
So my behavior is so noble? Even I don't have such a strange cognition, and sure enough, things will have different results when analyzed from different angles, and I chewed on the wild vegetables and snickered in my heart.
"Then the French began to retreat with the spoils of war, and we knew that the opportunity we had been waiting for had come."
Jensen was pleased with the ambush he had arranged, and it looked like they should have made a big deal out of the casualties.
"The one who fought bravely in battle, including carrying you back after you fainted, was Richard, the son of the forest, who was forgiven by your merciful you last time, and who repaid the favor with his own practical actions."
I smiled at Richard, who was shyly hiding behind Jensen and scratching his head, and said, "What happened to those Frenchmen?" Did they retreat? ”
"Maybe you're still searching in the forest, but this war is a cross-border war after all, and if you stay too long, it will attract the attention of the surrounding German knights, who should choose to leave by tomorrow morning."
Jensen said to me with a serious face, "Please forgive me for not saving your people, there are too many enemies. ”
"You saved me without fear of hardship, and I can't repay this kindness alone, please don't blame yourself anymore."
I hurriedly comforted Jensen: "Can you send me to the castle of the Counts of Ardennes?" I have a few men there, and I will ask the Earl to do justice to me, and these vile French will pay for their degraded deeds! ”
Jensen was also indignant and posed with me, if one of us had a little red book in his hand, we would be two Red Guards with a firm position.
He said unhurriedly: "The night is too dangerous, and after Robb has ascertained the situation of the French early tomorrow morning, Richard will send you to the castle of the Count of Ardennes, please rest assured, stay in this room tonight, it is safe, and no one will come to disturb you." ”
Jensen waved his hand, and the men in the room rushed out one by one, leaving me sitting on a straw bed with a wooden bowl in my hand.
Things were generally going well, there was food and sleep, I forced myself to convince myself to go to sleep with the sound of insects and the low roar of all kinds of beasts.
Early the next morning, Robb, who had gone out to investigate, brought back news of the French withdrawal, and Richard and I packed our bags and prepared to go on the road.
I squeezed Jensen's hand tightly, and said with gratitude in my eyes, "Thank you, you and your men are really Robin Hood of the Green Forest." ”
Jensen pondered the words and nodded yes, "Robin Hood? It's a nice name, and in the future, our team will be called Robin Hood in the Green Forest! ”
Good boy! Accidentally changed history, and Robin Hood was taken by me from England to the jungles of Germany.
The whole farewell process reached a climax in a united and friendly atmosphere, we clasped hands and sent our comrades on the journey, silently with tears in our eyes......
Leaving their jungle camp in Jensen with great pleasure, the young man Richard did not speak all the way, but frowned, looking for the forest paths that I could not see, and made me almost eat nails that were neither soft nor hard several times.
All in all the safari went well, and I guess Richard took me to take a shortcut, and after two days of camping, I stood on the top of a hill and could finally see the spire of the Earl's Castle with its horned flags fluttering in the distance.
"Then you are the castle of the Count of Ardennes, as long as you follow the path in the woods in less than half a day, I can only send you here." Richard finally said something humane, but his brow was still tightly knit, and I speculated that it might be a local muscle function due to necrosis of the peripheral nerves.
"Thank you for escorting me here."
This dude's survivability in the wild is comparable to that of a Navy SEAL, so I quickly made a good impression and might be able to use it again, and I untied the only valuable item on my body, the belt with what appeared to be an agate, and thank God I didn't take it for Isaac, the profiteer.
"Please don't refuse, this is my heart."
Richard's eyes were filled with tears, and I was so moved that I could tell from his trembling lips that the boy was shocked and would trust me with all his heart.
Don't ask me how I know, try to take a bag of small food for five cents a bag since I was a child, and buy the bastard who always beats you, I guess the experience is more profound than mine.
Seeing Richard away, I looked at the faint outline of the Earl's castle at the foot of the hill, and excitedly crawled down the hill.
I've never been so eager to see that old earl with bad breath!
