Chapter 491: Tense Game
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of the axe hitting the wood continued, and Peake slashed hard, but so what? The whip was in the hands of the sadistic soldier, and he could hit it as much as he wanted! Just as the sadistic soldier wanted to raise the whip he was talking about, he saw the figure in the blue hat in front of him turn around.
"Be careful!" the blue hat reminds the sadistic soldier and runs over to push him away!
Bang!
The giant tree smashed next to the sadistic soldier, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. Deliberately, this kid did it on purpose! The sadistic soldier jumped up and shook his hand.
A thick arm grabbed him.
Captain Barton Mondo!
When the sadistic soldier saw the commander in front of him, his expression of anger froze, and then he immediately shouted with dignity:
"Lord Commander, this blue-hat kid is trying to murder me!"
Barton Mondo looked at the sadistic soldier with a wrinkled head and said in a deep voice:
"But I saw that he saved you. ”
The sadistic soldier blinked, was silent for a few seconds, and then slandered Peake and said:
"My lord, when this kid cut down the tree before, you were behind the tree he fell, if I hadn't found it in time, he would have let the tree kill you!"
Barton Mondo turned to Peake with a chubby face, and asked in a questioning tone:
"Blue hat, is that so?"
Peake, of course, wished he had the courage to do that, not only to stone you to death, but to kill all of you impostors, "I have a son, and a grandfather," he said, "so I'll be careful." ”
Pique didn't answer his question head-on, but the answer was already obvious, he had loved ones, so he wouldn't do risky things.
Barton Mondo glanced sideways at Sandy behind Peake, then at the old man next to Sandy, nodded silently, and then took the sadistic soldier away, "You go to supervise the Yodelman woman, and change someone else here." He said as he walked.
Of course, Pique's task has not changed, it is still to cut down trees. The sadistic soldier was replaced by a new soldier in silver armor, who had no horsewhip in his hand, though the attentive Peake noticed the soldier's ill intentions.
With full vigilance, Peake continued to cut down trees. In fact, he has already completed his own task of cutting down trees, but as he himself said before, he has his own son and grandfather, so he has to complete the task of three people.
Three people is six trees, which is nothing to Pique, who is a carpenter. If he was allowed to play out, he could cut down twenty trees in half a day.
The trees are tall, but not stout. Pico was able to find the most accurate position for the axe, and often after more than ten axes, the tall tree would collapse. Other people who have no experience in cutting trees are different, not only do they not have good control of the force, but they also have no rules in the position of the axe, and they can only cut down a tree after hundreds of swings.
There were only fifty axes in the ranks, so there were only fifty yodelmen in charge of cutting down trees. Of course, the rest of the people don't mean watching or resting, they have their own tasks.
Those who are strong are naturally given the heavy work of cutting down trees, while those who are weaker are responsible for the work of carrying water, boiling water, and cooking rice, which do not require exertion. There were a number of huge tents in the camp, where the cavalry would rest, and water would be fetched, heated, and the noble cavalry commanders would enjoy a hot bath in a barrel.
Old people and children like Sandy and Peake, who are not able to work, will naturally be idle.
By the time Pique cut down the sixth tree, it was completely dark. The kingdom soldier in silver armor behind him didn't mean to stop and rest, "You go on," the kingdom soldier said to Pique, "I think you should have a lot of strength, so you can cut down more trees." ”
Peake complained in his heart, he ate a meal that day, even if he was good at cutting trees, how could he sustain such a high-intensity work. "Well," he had to agree, "I need to know the volume of my tasks." ”
The silver-armored cavalry ignored him, as if to say that you will cut it until I am satisfied.
Peake learns that he has offended not only a sadistic soldier, but a group.
The silver-armored cavalry supervised Pique with a cold face, and when he saw that it was empty, and the cavalry commanders had entered the camp, he began to become unscrupulous. I saw that as soon as he grabbed it with his big hand, he grabbed Sandy's gray brown hat standing aside, and then threw it onto a five-meter-high tree!
"Do you see that tree?" said the Kingdom soldier, pointing to the tree five paces away, to Peake, "Your son's hat is on the tree, and you are responsible for cutting down all the trees around it, and if I see a hat on the tree tomorrow morning, I will hang your son on the tree." When he had finished speaking, he went to rest as he walked to the tent.
Peake's head was covered with sweat, and he smiled at Sandy, "Sandy, did you hear what that uncle said?" he said, "It looks like we're going to cut down the tree tonight, and if we finish it, that uncle will reward you for climbing it." ”
Sandy, who was waiting on the side, was already impatient, looking sluggish, and the kingdom soldier snatched his hat just now, which almost made him cry.
It was obvious that Pique had said those words to comfort him, but when he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
After hearing the words "climbing the tree", Sandy's delicate little face smiled childishly.
Peake, who was already exhausted, had no time to stop him, but after five and three steps, he ran to the bottom of the tree, and as soon as he exerted his hands, he climbed up like a monkey. "Look, Daddy!" he said, sitting on a branch, smiling and shaking his hat.
Peake looked around in a panic and was relieved to find that the silver-armored cavalry who were guarding them had returned to their tents. He waved at Sandy and motioned for him to come down from the tree.
Sandy put his hat on his head and climbed down with great speed. "Daddy," he said in a low voice as he came to Peake, "I miss Mommy, I was in the tree just now, and I seemed to see Mommy, and she was there." Sandy pointed in one direction.
Peake didn't want to think of Haysja, who had placed his grandfather in the crowd.
The Yodelmen had no camp to rest in, so they slept in a clearing at the edge of the woods. "When I'm done cutting down the tree," he said to Sandy, "I'll take you to Mommy." ”
Children are always very good at coaxing, and by the time he finishes cutting down the tree, Sandy should be so sleepy that he should close his eyes.
He walked back and picked up the axe from the ground.
But at this time, he was suddenly stunned. Sandy had already taken the hat off the tree, and he couldn't tell which tree he was going to cut down! The Silver Cavalry asked him to cut down all the trees around Sandy's hat, and the hat had been removed, and because it was dark, where could he tell which one to cut?
Just as he was in a panic, he suddenly realized something else, since he didn't know which trees he was going to cut down, how could the silver-armored cavalry be able to tell the difference when he got up tomorrow morning? Half of the trees in the surrounding woods had been cut down, and they had to wait for tomorrow dawn to carry them to the Daughter River to build a bridge.
At this time, the surrounding scene was extremely chaotic, and the trees were slumped to the ground, and he estimated that the silver cavalry would not be able to tell if he had not completed his mission tomorrow morning. Perhaps, he forgot about it tomorrow morning.
With that, Peake grabbed Sandy's hand and walked into the darkness. "Daddy will take you to Mommy!" Sandy climbed up the tree to retrieve his hat, which solved his trouble of cutting down the tree, so he planned to reward Sandy for going to see his mother once, and he also wanted to meet Haysja.
Peake didn't know where Haysja was, but he knew that Hayska must be among the Yodelman women. About fifty meters away, it was separated by a number of marching tents, so Peake had to go into the woods and get around the marching tents. "Sandy, a new game begins," he said to his son, "listen to the rules! If I hold your hand, you can't move, you can't make a sound, and if you can do it well, you'll see Mommy!"
"Good. Sandy smiled and agreed, "Then let's hurry up and play." ”
"I'm holding on to you," Peake said, "and you've just spoken, so the game has failed, and I can't see my mom today." ”
"Ahh
"Okay, then give you another chance," Peake said solemnly, "you can't lose again!"
Walking through the woods, Peake suddenly grabbed Sandy's hand. Sandy reacted immediately, stopped, and pursed her mouth.
Pique smiled and patted Sandy, indicating that he was doing a good job.
With that, Pique took Sandy cautiously towards the tent. They had to go around the tent to get to where Hasja was.
As he passed by the tent, Peake covered Sandy's ears because he heard the noise of drinking inside, and even heard some obscene whispers:
"Hey, brothers, I'd suggest you catch some yodelman girls and have fun, and today I've seen a lot of beautiful and smelly women. ”
"They smell of Jodelman's pigs, and only the exiled Odin will get together with the Yodelman woman. ”
"Isn't there a beautiful sow among the pigs? Satan, if you are not tempted, then you must be lying!"
"Lucifer, you beast...... But I think his proposal is okay, you say, brothers. ”
"I think it's good!"
"Yes...... I'm afraid of angering the Second Apostle, he's a necromancer!And those black-armored cavalrymen keep looking at us unpleasantly, will they have an excuse to cut us down?"
"Yes, the black-armored cavalry is a real cavalry from the north, and we are prisoners in silver armor, so we don't deal with each other in the first place, so let's stay honest. ”
“......”
Peake listened in horror to the gossip in the tent, and in twenty steps he could reach the place where the Yodelman women gathered.
At this moment, "Who?" suddenly came out of the woods!
Peake immediately clenched Sandy's hand! Sandy knew this was the rule of the game, and he froze there!
Pique's heart tensed, and sweat trickled down his face.
The smell of nervousness filled the air.
Footsteps were heard nearby, and a silver-armored cavalryman stepped out of the woods with his pants in hand.
It turned out that the silver-armored cavalryman had not yet adapted to the water quality of the Daughter River and was "fertilizing" in the woods.
The silver-armored cavalry looked puzzled and came two paces in front of Pique, only to see him look around Pique with wide eyes, and then walked back to the camp alone as if he had found nothing.
Call!
Peake let out a sigh of relief and spread out one hand, which was clutching a medallion.
Soros gave him - the Order of Invisibility.
