Chapter 12: A Night of Change
() You, where did you come from?
You're the ghost, the ghost pouted angrily when he heard Owen say that, and I asked if you've ever seen a ghost as pretty as me
Owen carefully looked at the female ghost's appearance: Yes, it seems to be good-looking, but my Uncle Merkney said that the more beautiful the ghost is, the more deceiving it will be
You...... You...... The ghost's face flushed with anger: where did the uneducated child come from?
Where did I come from, Owen was a little stupid, he didn't know why he was messing around with a ghost so much, it's here, Searle Village, etc., why do you say I'm an uneducated child
Why do you say I'm a ghost?
Yes, why should I say that she (or it) is a ghost, but she suddenly appeared out of thin air in the night, and was dressed in white, didn't Uncle Mercone say that ghosts are usually dressed in white
Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't say it in my mouth: You...... I feel like a ghost when I see you
Hmph, the female ghost stomped her foot and turned around and ran
Hey, don't go, even Owen himself doesn't know why he's following
What are you doing, the little pervert girl ghost shook off Owen and grabbed her hand with a coquettish voice
That physical contact just now made Owen feel a twitch in his heart, her arms were very real, and they didn't look like ghosts at all
I'm not a little pervert, Owen stayed stupidly for a while, and then chased after him
What do you want to do?
Aren't you really a ghost, what are you?
I don't pay attention to you if you ask that, you should ask 'who are you'
Who are you
My name is Su ...... The ghost was no, and as soon as the little girl spoke, she suddenly paused, as if she remembered something, thought about it, and said, "My name is Susan."
Hello, Susan Owen scratched the back of the head, my name is Owen, by the way, Susan, where were you yelling 'help' why
Ah, I almost forgot that your name was Owen, right, are you from this village?
Well
Is there a priest in the village
No
Is there a doctor?
Yes, Owen proudly said that he was not Uncle Merkone, he was the most powerful doctor in the world
You just brag, I don't believe he's better than the royal doctor in the palace, although Susan's mouth is strong, but there is hope in his eyes, but it's better than nothing, please help you, Uncle Mei, my uncle is sick, and he is in the grass ahead
But Owen scratched the back of his head again, and yesterday Uncle Mercone and Philip went out into the woods to collect medicine
The little girl asked anxiously, "Then when will he come back?"
Maybe if he is fast, he usually comes back in three or five days, and sometimes he will come back in ten days
Wow...... The little girl suddenly cried, and a little later, my uncle was not saved
Don't you be like this, Owen felt a little overwhelmed, how could this girl cry when she cried, she was even more squeamish than those girls in the village, usually he was most afraid of girls crying in front of him, because he was afraid that others would say that he bullied girls, and in desperation, he didn't know how to comfort Susan, Susan, don't cry, don't cry, if the rest of the village hears it, they will think that I bullied you
Woo...... Yes...... Susan cried even harder
Don't do this again, I'm begging you, Owen is a little scrambling, or else, I'll help you go and see if your uncle is okay, and I'm also a student of Uncle Merkone
Really, Susan did stop crying
In fact, this is just a little lie told by Owen, he just wanted Susan not to cry, and it is true that Uncle Mercone taught him to read and write, but never taught him how to treat people - in fact, no one has seen how Uncle Mercone healed, he closed the doors and windows of his room tightly every time he treated the villagers, and the patients he cured could not remember how they were cured afterwards
Then Susan and Owen crossed a small stream and climbed a small hill to the grass in front of them, which grew taller than a man - this grass was infested with many snakes, and the villagers rarely approached, but saw a man in the prime of life lying unconscious on the ground, and by the moonlight, Owen saw that the man was very strong, and he was wearing a set of metal clothes, and he was covered with a long white cloth, and there was a plant pattern that Owen had never seen before, and the man's skin was faintly black
Is this a scythe, it should be inconvenient to cut oats so straight, hey, Owen was interested in a long, iron sharp object that was placed next to the man, but apparently he underestimated the weight of the thing
Don't touch my uncle's sword, it's the thing he values the most
If you don't touch it, you won't touch it...... Hey, your uncle's clothes are so special, oh, are they made of iron, Owen said to Susan
It can be said that it is but not exactly iron, and it seems that there is some silver or something, and they say that this is the knight's armor
What, your uncle is still a knight, Owen was a little surprised, but then he showed a look of admiration, usually Uncle Merkne, told him so many stories about knights, but the real knight was the first time he had seen it
Yes, uncle is very powerful, he has beaten away a lot of bad people who want to bully me in the past few days, Susan nodded and said
He's having a high fever, and Owen probes with his hand
Owen looked around and said to Susan, "We can't leave your uncle here, we have to find a way to bring him back to the village."
But...... Susan's expression was a little embarrassed, my uncle and I have been spending the past few days in the wilderness, he told me not to contact the people of the village or town casually, he said that this will affect others, but just yesterday my uncle who was good suddenly fell ill, and then he has not woken up until now, I really can't help it, so I followed the light to find your village, looking for someone to help
Hearing this, Owen somewhat understood what happened: Okay, Susan, you listen to this grass, usually people in our village don't dare to approach, do you know why, because there are many snakes here, you don't want your uncle to be bitten by snakes, Speaking of this, Owen couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, because his parents were bitten to death by poisonous snakes
That...... Well, Susan hesitated for a moment and finally agreed, but we are both just children, how can we move, uncle, it turns out that we still have Pique who can afford to carry my uncle and me at the same time, but a day ago, Pique was tired and his uncle left Pique far away
Peake could carry Susan and her uncle at the same time, and that must be a very strong uncle, Owen said to himself, but how could such a strong man be tired
Where are you babbling what Susan is a little impatient
It's nothing, you listen, I'll find you a few helpers now, and bring your uncle back to the village together, and I'm still a little hesitant to see Susan, and Owen said don't worry, the few people I'm looking for are my iron buddies, and they will keep it a secret, and they won't tell the adults in the village about it
Then Owen left Susan for a while and ran back to the village alone, at this time the village had just fallen asleep, the village was not big, Owen came to the center of the village to learn some kind of bird, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo called a few times, this is the contact signal between Owen and Joyka and a few of them, which means: There is fun, let's hide from the adults to play
Hearing the cry, Cassius put down the bread in his hand, and he looked at the table full of food in front of him, and sat up beside his brother Reyhor, who seemed to have fallen asleep, and Jojka threw away the frog that had been tortured to death by him, because there was something more interesting for him to do
What's the matter, Owen, don't you have to wait for Uncle Merkone to come back, is it scared alone, after several children get together, Joyka, who has the most poisonous mouth, laughed at Owen
Don't be kidding, Owen said sternly that we are going to get down to business now
After hearing that a real knight was going to be rescued, the other three children were very excited, it was not only a funny thing, a real knight, it must be a thing to show off to others in the future, so several children began to prepare, Ray brought a blanket, Owen found a bundle of hemp rope, Joyka pushed a cart for oats, only Cassius did not prepare anything, because his clothes were stuffed with delicious food that he had not had time to swallow in his stomach just now
No one noticed in the night, a group of eighteen riders had come to the outskirts of the village of Serre, they were heavily armed and vicious, and they looked at the village of Serre, which was still shining dimly and restrained their horses' hooves
It's still the boss, a man with a carp beard who walked in the second place, said to the bearded man at the front, that the brothers didn't understand, since the prime minister who hired us was dead, what are we still doing in this country, almost all the Holy Light Sect countries are wanted, if our brothers are punished- The Holy Alliance or that bullshit Templar Knights recognized us, but it was troublesome, and later I learned that the boss's trick was really clever, and now the lords of all parts of the country surrendered, resisted, resisted, they couldn't take care of their villages, let's go to those villages to do business like before, it's really much more convenient, as he spoke, he patted his bulging pocket, and when he saw the carp bearded man doing this, the other sixteen men behind him also couldn't help but touch their suddenly bulging waist bags in the past few days
The princess of this country was rescued by a royal knight, if it weren't for the French-holy alliance army busy taking over the big city, the strict manpower is insufficient, we wouldn't have such a golden opportunity, the bearded man at the head smiled and said, Do you think I will really search for the traces of the royal knight and the princess, the other party is a royal knight, I am not so stupid, I put my head and everyone's head into the sword of the royal knight, the reason why I accepted their mission is just to have a reasonable reason to stay in the kingdom of Pole, and the oil and water we have caught ourselves are much more generous than the bonus
The people in the back laughed when they heard the boss say this
But the one-eyed man who was in third place asked, what if we really met that royal knight here, we didn't have enough people, and he sacrificed his sword
You idiot, if I were that royal knight, I would definitely take the princess to the elven forest, the carp-bearded man scolded the one-eyed man, the elven forest is in the east, let's go southwest, will you meet that royal knight, just this IQ loss, you are still the third
Hehe--the one-eyed man rubbed his head stupidly, and the others burst into laughter
Okay, let's get down to business, the bearded man waved his hand to stop his subordinates from entertaining themselves, according to the old rules, how much each person catches, half of them are handed over, half of them are kept for themselves, and all the men are killed, and then they are killed
Hey, a group of people let out a beastly roar and rushed towards the village of Serre......
One-two-three-hey, one-two-three-hey, ......
Susan and Owen held the rope in front and pulled the left, Joeyka on the right, and Cassius in the back, pushing the five children so hard that they could push the cart down the hill little by little, and all the other four boys, except for Susan, wondered how the hill, which usually looked so low, had become so tall tonight
The man, Susan's uncle, was lying on the trolley and had not yet woken up, with the blanket Ray had brought under him, without which he would have slipped through the gap in the rudimentary trolley
I can't pull it...... Lei really wanted to take a break, and the youngest and the youngest Lei was already sweating profusely
Really...... Saving, saving the knights is really not fun at all, I say Owen...... Don't look for me next time something like this, Joyka complained
This effort, the things he had just eaten were gone, and the fat man Cassius who was pushing the cart in the back thought of eating it whenever he wanted to eat it, and he was still hungry, and I still had to eat
Susan, Owen said to the girl who was also sweating next to him, "Your uncle, can you throw away those broken brass and iron first, it's really heavy."
No, Susan wiped the sweat that was tied to Owen and resolutely refused, Do you know how important armor and sword are to a knight
The group of children finally reached the top of the hillside, several children fell to rest on the top of the hillside, the four boys leaned their bodies against the car, and Susan rested her head on the shoulder of Owen next to her, she was so tired that she fell asleep like this, looking at Susan who was leaning on him, Owen couldn't help but feel pity in his heart - in fact, every male is like this in this situation
I have a mentiony
I think Owen's approach is good, and this time it's rare that Joyka and Owen are on the same page
It's good to slide down, it's definitely fun and exciting, and Lei shouted excitedly
Cassius waved his fat hand and said, "You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't make me so tired."
Susan, who fell on Owen's shoulder, also whispered two words weakly: agree
With the approval of all his companions, Owen immediately went to the action, and the five children were crowded together on a small trolley, which rushed straight down the hill
It's so cool and exciting, and the children let out a burst of cheers
However, as time went on, the children discovered the problem, which they apparently underestimated the increasing speed of the trolley, and by the time their cheers turned into screams of horror, it was already too late, as the children found themselves also ignoring a very strict problem, and there was a stream in front of the hillside
The tom trolley was smashed to pieces, and an adult and five children all fell into the stream.
