Act 39: In the spring breeze in the evening and evening, the fragrance of clothes is floating all over the road
If they keep moving, they will be able to go back before sunset today.
The three of them didn't say a word along the way, and the closer they got to the village, the more reticent La Niña became, as if she had something on her mind.
Later, the more Rhine glanced at La Niña, intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was watching.
"By the way, you two are from the same village?" La Niña asked.
"Of course, we ...... both"
"We both live in the same village, but I don't belong to this village. I used to live in a market outside the walls of the royal capital, but after my father died, my mother took me to this remote place with low consumption levels to survive. But then my mother also contracted a cold on the way and died, and I was taken in by Hallrest during my wanderings, so I lived with him."
Without waiting for Hallrest to speak, Rhine spoke the non-existent story very fluently, and it seemed that he had already thought about it beforehand.
Harrestor immediately understood what it meant, and nodded repeatedly.
"I'm really sorry to bring you up your unhappy childhood." La Niña said embarrassedly.
"The past is gone, nothing." Rhine smiled, his blonde hair scattered haphazardly, and it seemed to be longer.
It's impossible to forget what has happened, it's just that you can't remember it, or you don't want to remember it. This is what Rhine wants to say in his heart.
"It's not far from crossing this big river!" Hallrest said excitedly as he looked at a large river that suddenly appeared in front of him.
The three of them picked up speed and hurried in the direction of the village.
They went up a dirt road, but it was a very hard dirt road. Farmers come and go from the river to carry water to irrigate the fields, the water turns the ground into mud, and people trample the mud into smooth mud roads. Over and over again, this natural path was eventually formed.
The smell of earth is very pronounced in such places, and La Niña may not know the smell of earth until it is so old.
It was the middle of the night, and it wouldn't be long before the sun set.
The two teenagers still remember that early morning, they shouted on horseback, "In the spring breeze in the evening and evening, the smell of clothes is floating all over the road." And the snow season chased after him, and finally climbed up to a dirt bag and shouted, "Looking at the road ahead, the lucky stars shine to the end of the world". It's been a few months, and I don't know if the snow season is okay.
The small place is so small, and between the two of them, the village suddenly appeared in front of them.
All three dismounted and stopped at the entrance of Aston Village to look at the village sign that was fastened with straw. Two of them felt intimate, and one found it incredibly shabby.
The village is home to dozens of families, large and small, and it is dinner time, when many of them spit out green smoke from their chimneys. Some villagers took out wooden stakes and sat at the door to eat with the little yellow dogs. The village was quiet, and even the dogs consciously restrained their voices.
Hallest's party didn't cause much of a stir, and the villagers just smiled at them when they saw the two teenagers, just like Uncle Kerry who had been eaten. The news in this small village is closed, and maybe no one in the village knows the news of the battle of Jumen Pass yet...... Of course, it is possible that the villagers already know about it, but they just don't care.
But with such a big news, it's hard to even if you don't want to talk about it, and human curiosity is innate...... If this kind of thing had happened somewhere else, people would have moved out of their small stools and talked about how dangerous the battle situation was and how powerful the two teenagers in their own village were...... Unless they are self-enclosed like these villagers, they will only be able to smile when they look at Rhine and Hallest, who have not seen each other for months.
Because of their low status, they are indifferent to the affairs of the kingdom. Because they are poor, they are not interested in anything other than making a living. Because they have never enjoyed human rights, they don't even realize that they are human beings. When human beings are deprived of their minds, they are equivalent to losing their souls, which is not much different from death.
In the Longyuan Kingdom, which is known as a free country, there are still such inhabitants.
Rhein and Hallrest stared at the villagers with gloomy eyes, not for a moment, but for a lifetime.
La Niña looked at the villagers, and she didn't know what had gone through to make them feel so inferior. Even in his own village, he didn't even dare to speak out loud.
"See? This is the Longyuan Kingdom. Rhine turned back to La Niña, his tone calm.
La Niña always had the feeling that she didn't dare to look at Rhine, as if there was something terrible in those ice eyes. This time, she didn't speak, just put on a dejected look.
"That's my house, but it looks like the door is locked...... I don't know where Daddy went. "The village is not very big, just walk through the gate and see all the houses.
Harrester ran to the doorway and looked, and sure enough, it was locked. The lock was so rusty that Harrest ripped it off with a little force, and the entire door was about to fall off.
"Lord La Nina, come in my house for a visit!" Harrest made a gesture of please to La Niña.
La Niña looked at the dilapidated cabin and hesitated, but finally got in.
There are three small rooms in the house, which happen to be the kitchen, toilet, and bedroom.
Although the cottage is very shabby, it is surprisingly tidy. The clothes and quilts on the two small beds were well folded, and there was no dust on the floor.
La Niña looked at one of the beds apparently divided into two colors, half white and half black.
"The white half is where I sleep, and the black is where Hallester sleeps. He often sweated profusely outside, and when he came back, he fell asleep on the bed, so he ended up sleeping on the mat in the dark. Rhine explained, fearing that La Niña would misunderstand something.
Hallester rubbed his head and smiled, this is an undeniable fact, and he is not good at quibbling anything.
"What about these gadgets? Did you two do it? La Niña suddenly noticed a lot of small wood carvings on the edge of the window at the head of the bed, and she walked over to take one and looked at it.
"How's that, it's not badly carved, isn't it? It's all carved by Rhine alone! Especially this one, you see, isn't it as beautiful as a work of art? Harrester walked over and picked up a wood carving. This wood carving is different from other wood carvings, and it is actually colorful. "Rhine spent a lot of money to get the dyeing shop in the city to help him dye the color!"
"Who is this knight?"
The polychrome wood carving depicts a knight with a yellow fiery horse under his feet, with flames rising from the soles of his feet. On horseback is the appearance of a middle-aged man, he holds a sword and points to the sky, looking like a sword opens the sky.
"Paladin Betchernst"
La Niña's hands trembled, and the wood sculpture fell to the ground.
