"How can that be the same?! In the past, most of them went to tie up with the bandits and gangsters who cut the path, and used the sword to talk about the principles of being a human being. Most of the time I just need to prepare a spell and throw it over, some of the fierce and introverted gangsters will just give the hostages away, and if it is a war mercenary, intervening in the battle where the lords are jealous of the women and going to the mines and workshops in the other party's territory to get stuck in the oil and water, at most I will only encounter some third- and fourth-rate mercenaries formed by one or two hundred people, and the strongest is the elite territorial guards under the local nobles who have spellcasters, and there are not even a few higher ranks than you. “

"This time we are going to face thousands of ferocious foreigners!! I heard that they are very hungry, but they all drink blood, and even eat human flesh. The husband's words did not comfort the wife, who was still worried.

"It's not as simple as you think. A few of those old brothers have made their homes here completely. They also have a large number of servants and daughters, and even if we escape from the city, we may not be able to get out of the city safely. Besides, with such a large number of people, are they still ready to go back to the days when the day is precarious and the knife licks the blood?"

Obviously.

There was also a good reason for what the captain of the guard said, which made his wife fall into silence directly, and she thought to herself: Yes, everyone is tired of the life of wandering. Even if you die in battle, it is better than a violent corpse in the wilderness, gnawed by jackals, wild dogs and other animals, and at least there is a cemetery where you can be buried. If the lord does not die, their family will also receive a pension. And on the tombstone it is written: He was a good man of valor, a good friend of his neighbors, and until his death he faithfully exercised his duty to guard the territory.

In addition, there is a cemetery so that the remaining friends can find a place to mourn in the future, and they will not die in more than one corner and become a lonely ghost with no home. And some of the more religious bastards may even get a one-way ticket to the infinitely beautiful kingdom of the gods.

But Lady Sansa's inner agitation grew more and more intense today.

She did not speak again to persuade her husband, but sighed silently, and when he left with the sound of the metal lock rubbing against him, she put her hands on her beautiful chin and looked at the statue in the mirror, dazed and lost.

The brown-haired and sturdy captain of the guard, who strode out of the backyard gate, saw a group of five or six soldiers in the closed tavern, drinking hot white radish and ginger soup to ward off the cold, and waved his hand casually to signal everyone to take their weapons and put on their helmets to follow him.

After everyone left one after another, there was still an old servant woman over fifty years old who did not leave, ready to start cleaning up the pottery bowl that everyone had left behind.

But as soon as she turned around, she was startled by the dark shadow behind her, and almost threw the whole stack of bowls and spoons in her hand to the ground.

The hostess, who did not know when, walked slowly behind the old servant without a sound, and looked at the door where her husband had left, not knowing what she was thinking.

When the old maid saw that the mistress was wearing only a thin nightgown and came out, she immediately called out in distress: "Madame really does not care for her body. It's easy to catch a cold at night, and when you're a little older, you'll have pain in your legs, feet and arms. The old body is usually fine in the house, but as soon as he leaves the room and is blown by the cold wind, his bones ache. Since the lady is out, don't rush back, the radish and ginger soup that was hot for them just now is just warm, drink a bowl first, sweat a little and then go back to sleep, you can feel better. ”

The old woman, who had lost more than half of her teeth, saw that Madame had taken the hot soup under her persuasion, and began to drink it slowly in small sips, and immediately showed a slight joy on her face. But after that, he sighed faintly, and his dry and wrinkled old face showed an unusually low look of reminiscence, as if he said to himself: "If only my wife were still alive, maybe she would be as happy as my wife is now." As soon as people get old, they always think of the people and things in the past, and the more you live, the more boring it becomes. ”

Lady Sansa's heart sansa, and she keenly observed that there was a hint of concern in the old servant's cloudy and slightly numb eyes, and there was a little bit of calmness in the relief of those martyrs.

Yes, an old servant woman who can live to be in her fifties can be regarded as a long life in the countryside, although in modern times she has not even had time to receive a pension.

This is not what Sansa wants to see! People always have a deep sense of loneliness when familiar things pass away around them, and if they think that all the people around them who are older or their age than her are dead, how many people will not feel cold and lonely?! So Lady Sansa tried to dispel the chill of the previous bad premonition in her heart, patted the other person on the back and comforted: "The god of suffering once said that giving up easily is an original sin. Your life is still shining as bright as this oil lamp, and perhaps it will have a great meaning in the future to illuminate the lives of those around you. And your good deeds in this life will be rewarded in the next life, and you will be reincarnated to a better and happier family. ”

The old woman looked up and stopped, she had given birth to three children in her life, one boy and two girls, but none of them had survived to this day. Either congenital deficiency can not raise a few years old, or I have a serious illness and have no money to buy that expensive healing medicine, so I just stuck up and left. How can it not be heart-wrenching that I have worked so hard to give birth to a little monkey cub that has never grown up at all? Could it be that I have really done a lot of sins in my previous life? Or is it because I am not devout enough to the gods, so I ...... Phew, great god~ I didn't mean to blaspheme you, it's all unintentional, it's really ...... It's the reality that's so sad!

Every time she thinks of this, she is interested, the ruthless and cruel reality and the distant and unreachable afterlife are so untouchable, only to feel that the current life is so meaningless, people can't help but secretly blaspheme and think: Will my next life be so difficult?

Seeing the old servant's reluctant smile, Lady Sansa stopped bringing up the subject. just took her rough hands, as if to make up for her usual negligence, and asked about the difficulties in the other party's usual life, as well as the gossip in the lives of the surrounding townspeople.

The hostess also sighed slightly in her heart. The journey of studying at a young age has taught her more than ordinary women. The gods are also very realistic, if there is no outstanding dedication and merit to the gods, this kind of old woman who can only be regarded as a "pan-believer", even if she barely enters the kingdom of heaven, is just a slave of others. It's just ~ a change of name that looks better, called - Divine Servant.
