CHAPTER XXXI

"Is this your village? Meng Meng, it's really beautiful. Harry said excitedly as he leaned over the railing and looked down at the small village among the woods below.

"Hey, don't call me that, do you want to fight?!" The gray-hatted boy next to him raised his little fist and said angrily.

"I'm sorry, but what's your name, you can't let me keep calling you by that name." Harry said apologetically.

"Uncle Ben's name is Monshint, remember it for me, stinky boy." The Grey Hat Boy pointed at Harry and said arrogantly.

"Monschent, a good name, my name is Harry." Harry said with a smile as he held out his hand.

"......" Monshint was stunned for a moment, put away his hand, hugged his chest and looked at the scenery outside the railing without speaking, Harry just withdrew his hand in embarrassment and scratched his head, looking at the scenery outside the railing with him.

It's already afternoon, and the summer sun is still not so gentle, but more enthusiastic about the earth, although the magical protective barrier of the ship Harry and the others have been punched out, and the effect of the protection has decreased a lot, but it is not that hot, because the wind is also blowing inside.

The black ship above them was gone, but it was walking side by side with Harry and their boat, and Festria on the other side waved at Harry, and Harry, who was blowing the wind and fluttering his hair, thought that this guy was deliberately going there to enjoy it.

After Fisteria explained that she wanted to help them, she ordered Harry to untie them, originally Harry thought that Festeria was going to rush directly to the enemy's base camp and get them directly, but she chose to observe them for a while, saying that playing with them slowly is the greatest pleasure, and what is the point of doing it all at once.

The chain that had smashed through a hole in Harry's deck and tied to the stone was actually the tool they had to climb up to the ship, was it meant to climb up? No! It's used to pull people, just like those recycling devices, some people grabbed the chain, and then Bosson shouted a few times with a crystal ball, and then there was a sound of answering, and then Festeria also came over and grabbed the chain, Bosson just wanted to say something, several people went to the sky in front of him, and the cry of Festeria sounded in the sky, not afraid, but excited, the chain was recovered, and it was put away straight, and the stone that was about to tie the chain was when he left, The frightened neighing of horses could be heard again below.

Between the green trees, a small village sits here, a clean but not wide stream flows not far from the village, the fish and pebbles in the small stream clearly appear in front of Harry's eyes, the fawn and rabbits are drinking and grazing by the stream, the small village has land similar to a ploughed field, but no one cultivates it, some chatting old women just saw the ship returning in the sky, and they all walked to a wide area outside the village gate to welcome their return.

The two ships landed peacefully, stirring up a large cloud of dust, and then Festria walked down the ladder handed down by the black ship, stood on the earth-filled earth, and took a deep breath refreshed, wanting to feel the smell of the earth, but was choked by the dust that had not yet dispersed, and coughed with a flushed face.

Harry, who stepped down from the other boat, looked at all this with an indifferent face, and seemed to be used to this funny scene, but Monschent, who came down together, looked at the figure coughing violently uneasily, and suddenly came out in his heart, Is that woman out to be funny, and he is becoming more and more distrustful of this group of unscrupulous people, can this really help them? The gang in front of you.

"I'm sorry, my lord, but there's nothing decent to entertain." Bosson said, looking at some bread on the shabby wooden table.

"It's okay, this is everyone's mind, then I'm welcome." Festria picked up a piece of burnt bread and smiled at the table, and the old women in front of her also smiled with satisfaction, they thought that this adult was not satisfied with the food they cooked, and this adult was still very talkative.

This is the house where Bosson lives, an old two-story house, and the vines outside the window are about to grow in, and the sun is about to set.

Suddenly, there was a bustling sound outside, the sound of everyone looking happy.

"My lord, Uncle Bosen, the meal is already ready outside, let's come out and eat together." A young man appeared in the doorway, pointing outside.

"Let's go eat together, or I won't help you." Festria bit her bread and stood up and walked to the door.

"We see, sir." Bosen replied helplessly, he wanted to refuse, it was not appropriate for nobles and commoners to eat, but since the adults said so, it was better to be respectful than to obey, Bosen looked at several old women and nodded slightly, signaling them to go out to eat together.

There were many tables set up outside, and everyone sat happily together, drinking wine and eating meat, chatting, and Kalia walked through it with wine and food, and everyone greeted Festria respectfully, while Harry squatted on the ground on the other side and teased a black dog, and had a good time.

At first, Harry was worried about whether the big black dog would bite, but it turned out that he thought too much about it, and the big black dog was not afraid of life at all, and after looking at Harry, he directly pounced on Harry, and kept licking Harry with his tongue.

"Harry, come here." Kalia shouted at Harry, who was playing.

"What's wrong? Sister Kalia. Harry came to Kalia with the big black dog.

"This is for you, you have to take it well, it is for your opponent, he didn't come, you go and give it to him." Kalia handed over a rectangular wooden board with a meal on it.

Harry nodded, and took the board that Kalia had handed him, but he froze in place, staring blankly at Kalia, Harry remembered that he didn't know where he was, and sent it there.

Kalia was also stunned for a moment, smiled, pointed to a house in front of her and said, "That's the house, I saw him go in, but he didn't come out." ”

Harry got the coordinates and set off directly with the big black dog, and Kalia, who was smiling faintly, watched Harry leave.

Pushing open the wooden door of the outer courtyard, Harry walked in with the big black dog, the stone paved path was planted with some flowers and plants on both sides, and the fence was wrapped with some verdant vines, and in front of him was a small one-story house that did not look very large.

Harry stepped up the stairs, knocked on the door and shouted, "Monshint is me, Harry, I've brought you food." ”

After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps inside, and then as soon as the door opened, a small white fist aimed at Harry's face, Harry was startled, and immediately turned his head, dodged the punch, and the food in his hand also shook a little, and it didn't fall to the ground, Harry said shamefully, "I'm just here to deliver food." ”

"Oh." Monshant replied indifferently, withdrew his fist, took Harry's food, and turned and walked inside.

"It's really a place with a warm layout, and it's inexplicably quiet." Harry, who had also walked in, looked around and said to himself.

"Hey! I said don't just come in with you. Monshent said to Harry, who walked in.

"Hey, you've taken a shower." Harry also noticed something different about Monshent, the red and swollen part of his face was originally coated with red medicine, but now it was gone, he was still wearing a gray hat, there were a few drooping and wet yellow hairs on his forehead, and his long eyelashes were also stained with some water droplets, and his beautiful and lovely face became softer and less fierce.

Harry thought about why he suddenly got angry and opened the door to kill, Monshint was in the shower, and he happened to break him, which made him angry.

The layout of the house is clean, the floor is clean, a vase with a few bouquets of flowers is placed in the center of a dining table, with two chairs, a pot of blooming blue flowers on the open windowsill, and the faint fragrance of flowers reverberates in the hall, although it is simple and small, but it makes people feel a warm atmosphere.

"This thing is for you." Harry took a medicine bottle out of his pocket, the same medicine he had rubbed on Monshint last time, and handed it to Monschent.

Monshant glanced at Harry, put the food on the table, unceremoniously accepted the medicine bottle given by Harry, thanked him without thanking him, and then sat down on the chair and ate the meal, Harry didn't care about this, and walked around the room alone, and the big black dog lay on the ground and watched Monshant eat.

Suddenly, Monshint looked out the window, stopped eating, remembered something, stood up, and walked out the door, not knowing where to go.

Harry looked at the food on the table that had not eaten a few bites, and chased after him in confusion, and the big black dog followed Harry, what happened to Monschent, he went out in a hurry before he finished the meal.

Harry, who caught up, saw Monshint talking to an old woman, as if asking something, and then she thanked her and ran to the village gate.

"What's the matter, Monshint? Why the hurry? Harry, who had caught up, asked Monshint, who was leaning against a large tree at the entrance of the village.

"It's none of your business." Monshint faintly returned, his eyes fixed on the path leading to the woods in front of him.

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Harry didn't ask so much, squatted next to him and stroked the head of the big black dog, and waited together.

Time passed slowly, and the sun was about to set, but the man who was waiting for Monshant never appeared.

"Why hasn't grandma come back so late today, usually at this time, is there something wrong?" Monshant said anxiously, clearly worried about the man's safety.

"Grandma? Maybe something just happened on the way and delayed the time to come back. Harry, who was sitting on the ground touching the big black dog, said comfortingly.

"Normally, grandma usually comes back at this time, and sure enough, I still went to take a look." Monshint ignored Harry's reassurance and ran down the road into the woods.

Harry wanted to shout to him, but it was doomed to be useless, and Monshint rushed to the path in the woods without looking back, and Harry had no choice but to follow, saying helplessly, this guy is really alone.

Harry touched the big black dog who was lying on the ground enjoying his petting, "You don't have to come with me, go back, it's very dangerous in the woods." ”

Harry quickly followed Monschent, and the two ran on the forest path, but Monshant obviously did not expect Harry to follow him, and then put on a disgusted expression and said, "Why follow me, hurry up and give me back, I can do it alone." ”

"I said you, what matters if you rely on others, I'll help you find it, I'm saying it's getting dark, don't let Uncle Bosson worry about them." Harry said with a smile.

"Whatever you want." Monshint was stunned for a moment, then said with a look away.

…………………………………………… Dividing line .........................................................

"It's cool, huh, why don't you see Harry, Kalia, where have they gone?" Festeria grabbed the wine glass and took a big sip of wine, making a refreshing sound, suddenly sensing something, and asked Kalia, who was busy with the wine and food.

"In this case, I saw the two of them running towards the village gate in a hurry just now, and I don't know what to do." Kalia, who was holding the wine and food, thought about it carefully and said.

"In this way, these two bear children know how to run around, just don't run blindly." Festria said disapprovingly.

"I'm really sorry, Meng Meng caused trouble for adults, in fact, he used to be a good boy, but I don't know what's going on. Personality suddenly became like this, I hope you will bear with me, and I am here to apologize to you for him. Bosson said as he poured wine into Festria's glass.

"By the way, do you know what the two of them are doing at the entrance of the village?" Festeria asked, taking a sip of her wine.

"At this time, it should be Mengmeng who is waiting for his grandmother, Mengmeng has no father and no mother, and was raised by his grandmother since he was a child, so he has always loved his grandmother, and it is normal to make this kind of behavior." Bosen on the side put down the wine bottle and said.

"It turns out that this kid still has a little conscience, although his mouth is very poisonous on the surface, but he is still quite kind in his heart." Punk, who was sitting across from Festria, shook his glass and said in a nonchalant tone.

"Haha, Punk, I remember you almost got mad at that kid." As if she remembered something, Festria pointed at the bald Punk and laughed.

"Yes, you have to take care of it." The old punk blushed, turned his face away, and drank sullen wine.

Everyone laughed, the sun was about to set, and everyone began to light oil lamps to drive away the coming darkness.

On a densely wooded, vibrant hill, like a hill that stands out from the crowd, surrounded by a leafy sky, the moon in the sky slowly revealed a corner of the sky, taking over the sun's class, the dim starry sky gradually occupied the entire sky, leaving only the side of the mountain stubbornly resisted and revealed a little white glow.

Huge and majestic, full of ancient atmosphere and history, old and thick vines stubbornly entwined around the walls, unknown flowers rooted in the crevices, swaying in the breeze, pointed towers, countless windows lit up, a stunning castle standing above the woods on the hill, it is very eye-catching.

Harry stood on the slope and looked at the brightly lit castle not far ahead, pulled the sleeve of Monshint next to him, and said cautiously, "Should we stop, the castle in front of the Count lives, in other words, it is the enemy's stronghold, let's go back first, it's too dangerous here." ”

"If you want to go, I won't go back until I bring my grandmother back safe and sound." Monshant glanced at Harry, then walked towards the castle on the hill ahead.

"Wait a minute, didn't you say that your grandmother is just helping people to fix some flowers and plants, it's not a big deal, maybe she will come out of it after a while, why risk going deep into the enemy's territory, it's not worth it." Harry stopped in front of him and said.

Just now, Harry and Monshant walked along a somewhat dark forest path, passing several villages and passers-by who hurried home, Monshant stepped forward to ask a good question, but the result was that he did not see Monshent's grandmother, but at noon he saw her go to the Earl's castle, helplessly, the fruitless Monshant insisted on finding his grandmother, so Harry could only accompany him, watching that it was getting dark.

Harry followed Monshant all the way, and he remembered the words and deeds he asked about others, and he noticed that this guy's personality was not so bad, and he was very respectful and polite when he asked those people, but why was he so unfriendly to his own people? What a strange guy.
