Text Chapter 38 At the beginning, he was the head of the people, and he had a heavy responsibility
Soon after Rolf crossed the bridge, Witt and the other four followed, each carrying some finances, and slowly crossed the bridge one after another. After Rolf and his party were gone, Witt said to the three rum brothers: "I feel sorry for your mother's affairs, the world is unpredictable, and it is difficult to survive without some assets, leave me a hundred dinars, and the other three of you brothers will divide it!" From here, go straight to the northeast and you will reach Riva Cheze. With this money, you will not have to worry about food or spending in this life. Let's go! ”
Three brothers, you look at me, I look at you, silent. In the end, it was the eldest brother Rum who took the lead in saying: "Wit, although money used to be important to us, but now that my mother does not know where to go, and I don't know whether I live or not, it is difficult for this money to go anywhere. Originally, all four of us brothers were babies abandoned in the war, but it was only when our mother was kind and raised us brothers that we were saved from disaster. Accustomed to that kind of poor life, it is even more difficult to imagine adapting to the glory and wealth of the future. Rum looked at the two brothers again, nodded to each other, and continued: "Although we have not been with the Witt brothers for a long time, we can see the heroic feelings and great wisdom of the Witt brothers. Although the three of us brothers are not talented, if the Witt brothers do not dislike it, we hope to be able to follow the Witt brothers to go on a heroic journey together, share weal and woe, and never give up. Rum said in a tone that rose to a sonorous and powerful voice. Safinstar also chimed in: "If you don't dislike it, you are willing to share the weal and woe, and you will never give up." ”
When the three brothers finished up with the bandits in the forest, they already had the idea of following Witt, but because of their mother's unsuccessful search, it was difficult to make a decision easily. Now that my mother is gone, and the three brothers have nowhere to go, the time has come, so I said my inner thoughts.
Of course, Witt didn't expect that the person who wanted to take his life with a knife two days ago now wanted to follow him. I have always regarded the other party as my partner, and I have done a lot of major things, but I don't feel that the other party owes me anything. In the face of the enthusiasm of the three brothers, Witt did not refuse categorically, chilling their hearts.
Bandeni secretly watched the whole process in his eyes, thinking that this young man was deeply recognized by everyone, and he must also have some talent. Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually falling into embarrassment, Bandeni interjected at the right time: "Since all the brothers are willing to recognize you as the eldest brother, why do you shirk it again and again, it is better to push the boat and take over the friendship of the brothers, so good!" ”
When Witt saw that Banderey suddenly appeared, saved the scene and returned to himself under the steps, he no longer twisted, and immediately said: "Since I have been promoted by my brother, I will no longer shirk it, and I will definitely live up to expectations." ”
The three Rum brothers looked at each other, and were very happy, and knelt on one knee on the ground, and shouted to Witt in unison: "From now on you will be our leader, and we shall obey you. You say to the left, but we will never go to the right. ”
Witt was very pleased, helped everyone up, and said: "They are all my own brothers, you don't have to be polite, I will not treat everyone badly in the future, get up, get up!" ”
Everyone was in high spirits, but Witt frowned. Since he has become a very leader, he has also discarded the promise he made to old Danny and has become a first-class bandit. But Witt was helpless, his home was in Fesdna, but he couldn't go back, and if he was found back, he would be hanged as a deserter on Xingtai.
Since he is already the leader of the bandits, the greater the power and the greater the responsibility, the first thing you have to choose a place for your brother to live in, right? There are bandits of all sizes in other places, and you say that if you live in other people's territory for a long time, isn't this robbing other people's jobs?
Witt thought for a while, and said to everyone: "This time we will take the lead in inhabiting Shuangfeng Village, the bandits here have been exterminated, no one occupies it for the time being, and the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a rare good place." ”
Everyone immediately agreed, saving time and effort, and had this idea for a long time. Witt immediately instructed the three brothers to transport the belongings they had just brought out to the main village, where the terrain was more dangerous, but it was safer, so everyone should live in the main village first!
Witt motioned for everyone, including Banderni, to cross the bridge to clear the main village, where there was a pile of coke and a lot of land. The main village is a cliff cave, although it is not big, but it also has six or seven hundred square meters, which is the size of two basketball courts. If you don't free up space, it is difficult to use it effectively, not to mention that the ventilation is blocked in various waste piles for a long time, which can breed germs and make it easier to get sick.
Witt left the merchant's son to look after the young mother, for the rich second generation seemed to be very weak, as if the wind could bring him down, and it would be nice to cause him less trouble, and he could not be expected to help him in any way.
After Witt and the other five people transported their belongings back to the main village and put them back in the tin box, they began to clean up. Throw all the charcoal and discarded food from the mouth of the cliff from the mouth of the cliff, and recycle some metal tools if their function is not affected. There were also tools such as the felling axe, the metal of the head was still intact despite the wooden handle being burned, and Witt ordered that it be preserved and reused with a slight modification to prevent waste. Some foods, such as pork and chicken, were charred on the surface, but the inside was still well preserved and edible, and Wittur also let everyone keep it for the next few days.
The day was busy until dusk, and only less than a third of the waste in the cave was removed. I have to say that although the cliff cave is not big, these wastes are still a bit too much for the five of them. The cleaning could not be completed in a short time, so Witt asked everyone to go back to the Qianzhai house to rest first, and then clean up tomorrow.
That night, Witt handed over some of the charred pork from the cave to the young mother, who had been a servant and played with the kitchen utensils, but used a butcher's knife instead of a kitchen knife to cut off the charred meat from the surface of the pork, leaving the salted pork in good condition for everyone to eat around the campfire. The wine in the cottage had already burned out in the fire, and everyone had to replace the wine with water and eat meat.
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Witt suddenly said to Bandni: "Uncle Bandney (Bandney is about forty years old this year, and Big Witt is nearly two rounds old). When everyone saw that Witt had something to say, they fell silent. Witt didn't care, and continued: "You said before that you are a cavalry under the banner of Varishin Boye, so you must be familiar with the use of guns, sticks and swords, Witt is not talented, and I want to ask Uncle Bandney to teach Rum and others more swordsmanship in his spare time, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
If Witt's tone was so tactful and polite, it was also difficult for Banderey to refuse, so he had to say: "Although I have been in the army for many years, the cavalry is more likely to use iron heads and shields, and other weapons are naturally not experts, but I have been on the battlefield for more than 20 years, experienced hundreds of battles large and small, and often fought with the enemy's sword, and I still have some understanding of sword skills. ”
"That's great!" Witt immediately thanked Banderney, and the three Rum brothers also thanked Banderney. The crowd talked until late at night, and except for one person who took turns to keep vigil, the others rested one after another. There was nothing to do that night, and the night was together.
The cool breeze rolls to shake the pines and cypresses, and the moon is under the village to raise a glass. I didn't know that the jackals came at night, and I only smelled the aroma of wine and meat in front of me.
