Chapter 72: The True Story (2)
Grace opened her eyes and was greeted by farm tools hanging on the walls, sickles, shovels, and the like. There were www.biquge.info blackened walls in the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion, and then, he saw the western beauty who came over with a blush.
"You...... You're awake. Erica took the water and walked over to Grace's bedside.
Grace nodded, clutching his head and enduring the pain of a hangover, he remembered that yesterday the villagers were so enthusiastic that he was drunk unconsciously.
I don't know how I came back.
However, looking at the current situation, he should have been dragged back by Barnard, the blacksmith.
"Thank you." Grace took the water from Erica and said.
Erica looked at Grace drinking water, and her watery eyes couldn't move away.
Perfect side face, handsome nose bridge...... She was a little stupid.
It wasn't until Grace handed him the bowl of water in front of him and called her that he came back to his senses, and then there was a burst of red faces.
Grace, on the other hand, didn't seem to notice Erica's shame, got out of bed and said, "What time is it?" ”
"Noon." Erica lowered her head, holding the bowl, and teleported away from Grace almost as if she were teleporting.
Grace was slightly stunned when she saw Erica's movements, and suddenly sniffed her arm clothes and said, "Is there something strange on my body?" Did you smell of alcohol from yesterday's drink? ”
When Erica heard this, she shook her head again and again, but she didn't even have the courage to raise her head, and kept asking herself in her heart: What's wrong, Erica, what's the matter with you? However, as soon as this guy gets close, his heart is beating non-stop, and his face is so hot, what should I do?
Grace looked down at her and shook her head, she really didn't understand what was wrong with this girl for a while, she just felt that this girl was really shy.
"You have to be strong, it's useless to run away when you encounter a strong man like that in the future. If you are afraid of him, the more he will do whatever he wants, and if you are not afraid of him, and if you can threaten him, he will be afraid of you. Grace said, and went straight out the door.
Erica was stunned for a moment, and then, her heart became even more confused.
As he walked out of the blacksmith's house, Grace saw a drizzle, and the cherry tree in front of him was especially bright in the gray.
"You're awake, young man." At that moment, Barnard's gruff voice rang out.
Grace turned his head to look, and Barnard was standing next to him, half a head taller than him, and he was almost looking up, and then, he noticed that Barnard had a scar on his dark neck, because he had dark skin, and this scar was also dark, and if he hadn't looked closely, he really couldn't have seen it.
"You weren't a blacksmith before, were you?" Grace said suddenly.
Barnard was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Grace, but seeing that this young man looked at him with an understatement, there was nothing unusual, as if he was saying something very ordinary.
Barnard sighed and sat down on the threshold, followed by Grace, the two big men looking out at the drizzle and the pink and green cherry trees.
After a moment of silence, Barnard said, "I used to be an adult's retinue. ”
Grace nodded and said, "I see, no wonder you have an elite physique." ”
Barnard smiled and said, "Later, the lord died on the battlefield, and I was seriously wounded, but it was the village chief of this village who saved me, and the village chief died three years ago, and entrusted me with the protection of this village, as well as the care of his granddaughter, and I settled here." ”
Grace let out an "oh" and said, "Are you staying here to repay the favor?" ”
"At first, after living here for a year, I got used to life here, and now I stay here because I love the village. It's a lot simpler and simpler. Barnard looked around the village and said.
Grace looked at Barnard and suddenly asked, "Did you have this cherry tree when you came?" ”
Barnard also glanced at Grace and said with a smile, "Did you also hear the legend of this cherry tree?" ”
Grace shook her head and said, "It's the boss of my adventure team who asked me to come and investigate this cherry tree, I have heard the legend, I don't believe it, but my boss believes in these things very much." ”
Barnard said with a smile: "I don't believe it either, and neither do the people of Geer Village, this cherry tree is rumored to be a branch of the World Tree Yggdrahir, and the fruit it bears has incredible power, and can even bring people back to life. However, for us in Geer Village, it is just an ordinary cherry tree, and the village chief of Geer Village said that their ancestors have been in this land for hundreds of years, and they have never seen this tree bear fruit, so no one believes it at all. ”
"I think so too." Grace said.
Barnard suddenly sighed and said, "However, there are many people who believe in this legend, and the old village chief also died for this, it is really a damn legend, and I don't know which bastard passed it on." ”
"Do you mean, that group of bandits and bandits in the north of the village?" Grace seemed to think of something and said.
"Well, that's them!" Speaking of this, Barnard's face showed obvious anger, and said, "These guys believe in this legend, and they are convinced that the old village chief's family has hidden Sakura and has been roaming the edge of our village. Several attempts to attack the village were unsuccessful, and once they even kidnapped Erica, and the old village chief was killed by the poisoned arrow of their leader Jabbar in order to save Erica......"
Barnard's voice grew low, and he didn't say anything more.
Grace looked at Barnard and said, "That Abdul-Jabbar, is he dead?" ”
Barnard was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said, "Of course he died, he was slashed by the old village chief." ”
Grace nodded and said, "The old village chief guards the village, he is old and strong, and he is really an iron man. ”
Barnard glanced at Regus in surprise.
Regus said: "The village is full of ordinary people, and there is not a single one who can stop the bandits and bandits. The bandits have failed to attack several times, and I am afraid that it is the old village chief. Moreover, the bandits only kidnapped Erica, not other people's children, the purpose is to threaten the old village chief, if there are other combat forces in the village that can resist them, they should kidnap all their children, and then threaten. ”
Barnard nodded, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "When I followed the adult, I can be regarded as having seen the world, little brother, you are very special." ”
Grace smiled and said, "What's so special. ”
"You have a temperament that will have many people who are willing to be your friends." Barnard patted him on the shoulder.
Grace shook her head and said, "I don't have many friends. ”
Barnard looked at him, stood up, and said, "There have been many travelers in the village of Geer, and I have never told them about it. ”
Grace was slightly stunned, and Barnard walked into the room with a smile.
And Grace looked at the drizzle and cherry trees in front of her, and slowly stood up, and suddenly, Barnard's urgent exclamation came: "Erica! ”
Grace's face changed slightly, and she ran in to take a look, only to see that in the room where he woke up, the clear water bowl had fallen to the ground.
And the window of the room, at some point, broke a big hole, and Erica disappeared!
Barnard anxiously searched back and forth, and Grace grabbed him by the shoulder and said, "Don't look for it, history repeats itself, Erica has been kidnapped." ”
As soon as Barnard heard this, he lifted a sledgehammer next to the furnace and was about to go out, his face cold.
But he was stopped by Grace, who looked at the broken window and said, "Just now we were all outside the door, and we didn't hear any sound inside the house, or rather, this kidnapper took Erica away silently." This man is very fast, he must have knocked Erica unconscious at the first time, otherwise Erica would definitely struggle and scream, and we can't hear it. ”
Barnard said, "So what! I promised the village chief, and Erica has been like my own daughter for the past few years, and I must save her back. ”
"You're no match for this man." Grace said, tugging at his arm tightly.
"How do you know?" Barnard asked, his expressions twisted, obviously anxious and angry.
Grace let go of him, ruffled his sleeve, and revealed a long knife mark on his arm, which had spread all over his forearm and had scabbed.
"I had a fight with him, and I almost lost an arm." Grace said.
"Do you know who he is?" Barnard looked at the scar, the anxious and angry expression on his face eased slightly, he could see that the strength of the young man in front of him was far above him, since this person could hurt the young man, he was just a dead end.
"The gang of thieves in the north of the village, before I entered the village, I had a fight with their leader, this man is very powerful, and he shot silently, my arm is his way." Grace said.
"What then? Could it be that they just let them kidnap Erica, those bastards who are not as good as pigs and dogs, Erica doesn't know what will happen! Barnard said angrily.
"You don't have to go, I'll go. I promise you, I'll get her back. It's also just time to settle accounts. Grace said.
"I'll go with you!" Barnard said.
Grace shook her head and said, "This may be a bit unpleasant, but with your physical fitness and lack of training, he can beat you a hundred with his bare hands." You've only dragged me down in the past. ”
The muscles on Barnard's face twitched a few times, and he suddenly took a deep breath and said, "I know, I'll leave it to you." ”
Grace nodded and said, "At least, trust me." ”
Barnard put down the hammer and said, "Then I'll wait for you here." ”
Grace smiled slightly, and the sword burst out of the window, and Barnard walked up to take a look, only to see that in the drizzle and mud, a white dress was already far away.
So fast!
Barnard couldn't help but sigh.
Erica, will definitely be saved!
He said this to himself.
