Chapter 351: Small Courtyard Gathering
In the end, Barry still didn't fool the shadow crow, and under Huck's constant taunts, he left the forest of rotten bones in a rage, intending to return to Richard's hut to rest for the night.
After all, the Forest of Rotten Bones is in the north, but the mountain where the treasure is hidden is in the south, and the distance between them is relatively far, so if you want to get there today, I'm afraid it won't be late at night.
The sight is not good at night, and even if you follow the treasure route, you may not be able to find the treasure, as some landmarks are not easy to confirm at night.
In addition, today's battle is not easy, so it is better to rest first, anyway, the treasure will not run around, more than a hundred years have passed, and it is not bad to delay this night.
Barry still didn't believe it, and if he delayed the night, the search for the treasure would change dramatically, and someone else would get his hands on it first.
The two of them and the dog walked quite fast, but since the mission had been completed, Barry was still in the mood to enjoy the scenery, and occasionally play with Huck and chase for a while, showing great energy.
So when they returned to Richard's hut, the sun had already set, and only a small half of the afterglow was still shining firmly on the earth, glowing with the colors of dusk.
When Barry and Old Kim saw Richard again, the bookish man was cooking dinner and cooking a simple bowl of porridge.
When Richard saw Old Kim and Barry, he not only showed a look of surprise: "Why did you come back so quickly, could it be that something happened in the middle of the way, so that you had to rush back." ”
It's no wonder that Richard thinks so, after all, finding treasure is not a simple matter, not to mention that they don't know the exact location of the treasure, so they can only find a needle in a haystack.
It's all about a matter of time to fight for the success rate, so the big backpack that Richard gave Barry and them is ready to fight a long battle.
The backpack had enough stuff for them for a week, and Richard was thinking about taking some time to go to the City of Innocence to buy some supplies, and then replenish them when Barry returned.
Old Kim may also be aware of Richard's doubts, so he replied: "We are very lucky, we found the clue not long after we arrived at the place, and we even found the treasure map directly..."
Old Kim thought about going on, but Huck seemed to be a little unable to wait: "I've been hungry for a long time, can you give me some food first, so that I can recover my strength!" ”
Richard smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go into the house, we'll talk slowly, it's just so that I'm making a little more porridge so that you can eat something too." ”
When Barry walked into the yard, he suddenly saw a tall horse tethered to a small tree, which looked very familiar.
Barry's hesitation was seen by Richard, and he took the initiative to explain: "Not long after you left today, this horse suddenly ran into my yard and ate some vegetables I planted, I watched its state, it should be a lost horse, so I tied it here and waited for its owner to find it..."
"But the day is almost over, but there are still no strangers, I thought about letting it go to find its owner, but the area is not safe at night, so I will wait until tomorrow."
Barry walked over and took a closer look at the horse's appearance, as well as the saddle hitch and other decorations, and finally touched the horse's head, and the horse not only did not resist, but took the initiative to stick out his tongue to lick Barry's face.
Seeing that Barry and the horse were so familiar, the remaining two had some ideas in their hearts, and Barry quickly verified their conjecture.
"Don't look for the owner of this horse, I'm the owner of this horse."
"You're right, Teucer."
Teucer's horse seemed to understand Barry's words, too, and neighed twice.
Old Kim asked, "Why don't I remember when you bought a horse?" And how did the horse get lost. ”
Barry said, "How could I not have a horse, or how do you think I got to your tavern, and how I lost it, that's a long story." ”
"I just arrived at your tavern yesterday, and I gave the horse to the waiter of the mutual aid society, and asked him to take good care of my horse, who knew that they were a gang of extortionists, so after the fight, I didn't care about the horse looking for me."
"Who knew that this guy was really lucky, not only survived with the grenade washing the floor on the other side, but also was able to follow my scent, find Richard's garden, and finally meet me again."
Old Kim sighed: "It seems that this guy is also the culprit who destroyed my tavern, but I don't know if it will compensate me for my losses." ”
Huck didn't care, it was laughing at Barry's please, "Teucer, I think the name is a combination of Tocki and mine!" Your level of fame is really terrible. ”
Although Huck guessed his thoughts at the time, Barry would not admit it: "Come in and eat your meal!" ”
Knowing that Teucer not only did not die, but also found his location, Barry was very happy: "I really have an extraordinary personality, even if it is just a mount that has just been together for a few days, it is reluctant to leave me again, whether it is a thousand difficulties or dangers, it will never give up." ”
Richard laughed, "You've found the treasure map, the lost horse has returned, and today is a day of good luck and a celebration to be made." ”
After saying that, he went back to the house and went to the place where the wine was stored, and took out two bottles of fine wine, which seemed to be a few drinks today, and had a small party happily.
Since there is a need to fight in the forbidden land of the Forest of Rotten Bones, Barry puts his backpack in the Glutton, and the things that are prepared are not eaten, so it serves as a dessert for a while.
Old Kim also showed a knack for bartending, using wild fruits collected in the forest and the rest of the drinks to make a very good cocktail.
The three people and one dog present are all extraordinary creatures, and naturally they will not be drunk by ordinary alcohol, which is just a condiment on a small party.
Again, Barry told Richard what happened in the Forest of Rotten Bones, and Richard sighed again and again, regretting not going with them.
Otherwise, he could also meet the Forest Guardian and see the scene of the otherworldly space.
Although Richard is not an ordinary person, most of the extraordinary creatures he has seen are ghosts and ghosts, or ferocious xenomorphic beasts, and he has never seen the elves who really guard the forest.
"Extremely quiet, I don't know if I can set off with you on the journey to find the treasure tomorrow."
