"Brother Locke, do we have any tasks when we go back to town tomorrow?" asked the soldier named Ma Li, who was among the people who followed.

He also came from Maple Leaf Village, but unfortunately Locke was not impressed by him, and he should have joined the army later.

"There should be. Locke just said that, without a specific answer.

"Will you go to the southern border to garrison?" replied Hank, a recruit who had only been in the army for a few months, and who remembered the horror of the siege of Otis very well, and he did not want to fight again.

"No, it won't. Locke was sure that Baron Kaidozi had roughly explained why their battalion would go to the southern border to accompany him, and Locke believed that their battalion would not wade into troubled waters.

"That's good. Hank grinned, he had just joined the army, and he had a lot of enthusiasm, and when he was hit on the head, he flinched.

"Brother Hank, don't worry, it's definitely not our turn to fight hard. Even if there is, brother, I will protect you. Horsepower laughed, obviously slapping Hank's ass.

It is true that Ma Li was conscripted into the army later, he joined the army two years after the start of the war, and he is now a veteran of three years of military experience, but unfortunately he is still a third-class private.

And Hank has the face of his brother Hans, plus the care of Locke and others, he took off the hat of a servant in only two months and was promoted to a third-class soldier, I have to say that there are privileges everywhere.

Hank is also a good person, knowing that Ma Li is currying favor with him, and grins and mingles with Ma Ma and other soldiers.

Locke and Hans and Kane were at the forefront.

"Did you guess something?" asked Hans, who had been with Locke for the longest time, knowing that Locke might have guessed the next task.

Hans, who was already a squadron leader, now has less of the naïve attitude he had at the beginning, thinks more and becomes more confident.

"It should be thieves and robbers around. Locke sighed, he certainly wasn't idle these days, he knew how to enjoy life, and in conversations with the people of the village, he often heard about the thieves in the neighborhood.

After five consecutive years of war, the Kingdom of Faustin has invested the lives of countless young and middle-aged soldiers, and some who are unwilling to go to the battlefield to die will fall into the grass and occupy the mountains as kings, resulting in the Kingdom of Faustin at present, although it has achieved outstanding victories abroad, but there is often chaos in various parts of the country.

Even in the southern province of Del, the not wealthy Kaidoqi has also bred countless gray forces.

Baron Kaidozi has been far away from the front line for many years, not only leaving a squadron of soldiers to stay behind in Kaidozi's leadership, but also taking a low-level squire-level powerhouse under his command as the leader.

These thieves and robbers did not dare to go toe-to-toe with the Baron's forces, and had to wander around, causing chaos to the Kaidozi Territory several times a year.

Locke even learned from the village chief that what was now 'covering' their village was a gang of more than ten thieves called 'Wild Wolf', and Maple Village had to hand over a certain amount of food and money to this thief gang every month in order not to be harassed.

If Locke hadn't wanted to feel the warmth of home for a while, he would have called all his men to slaughter this gang of thieves.

They fought desperately on the front line, but these guys were afraid of death and didn't dare to be soldiers, and they harmed the villagers in their hometown, how could Locke endure it.

If the opponent was just a gang of thieves and robbers, Hans didn't care at all, he had not been practicing Dou Qi for a long time, and he had only stabilized the Dou Qi vortex until now, but that's it, Hans felt that he could fight ten at a time.

"I've been trying to loosen my muscles for a long time. Kane moved his joints, he has been hit a lot in the past few days, if he can kill a few thieves who are causing trouble to his neighbors, I think Leah will look up to him a little.

Back in the village, everyone said hello and went back to their respective homes, "Brother Locke, can I go to your house for a meal." Kane pursed his lips and opened his eyes wide as he looked at Locke expectantly.

Locke was amused by the guy's funny expression, "Come if you want!" Locke laughed and punched him.

He knew why Kane was going to his house to eat, he might have been uncomfortable a few days ago, but not now.

Locke knows his sister, although she has a gentle personality, she is like her mother Tia in her bones, she is a stubborn and subjective person, and Kane is eighty percent useless.

With Locke's approval, Kane grinned, threw the hares and pheasants he was carrying to Hans, and snatched a deer corpse from Hans.

"Hey, can you leave me some?" said Hans.

"No, this is what I hit, of course it's mine. Kane was right.

"I'm also helpful, okay. Hans lifted his forehead.

"It's mine this time, and I'll give it all to you next time, okay. Kane didn't back down.

"Brother, brother, let's go. Hank saw the opportunity and hurriedly pulled Hans and walked home, and now in this group, Hans, a reckless man, did not see Kane's thoughts about Leah.

Speaking of this deer, it was found by Locke when they first entered the mountain forest in the morning, and they chased it all morning before they caught it.

This deer had just passed a winter, and it was hungry with no fat or two taels, and I really didn't know where it got the strength to run so fast, so Hans directly took a stone and opened the scoop for this deer, saving it from moving.

Kane excitedly knocked on the door of Locke's house with the deer carcass on his back, and the elder Locke and Tia warmly welcomed Kane's arrival, they were more concerned about the deer, which was rare in this season and difficult to catch.

"The afterlife is terrifying. Old Locke exclaimed.

Kane was obviously very proud, and he wanted to get Leah's praise even more, but as soon as he walked over, Leah frowned and walked away.

Locke, who was carrying a lot of prey, saw Kane's embarrassment as soon as he entered the door, and couldn't help laughing, his sister Leah has always disliked the smell of blood, Kane is currently covered in deer blood, and the old Locke and Tia who are so old don't care.

"Come, give it to me, I'll get it for you. Leah walked to the door and held out her hand to Locke.

Of course, Locke did not give all the prey on his body to his sister, but only handed one or two, and the two of them took them together and put them in the firewood room.

It's still mid-February, and the weather is still cold, so the meat is marinated and hung in the firewood room, so you don't have to worry about it going bad.

Tonight's staple food is roasted whole deer and rice potato porridge, Locke and Kane set up a barbecue grill in the yard, Leah and her mother Tia cooked rice potato porridge, and the rice potato porridge with salt, star anise, and huba gave off a strong fragrance.

The deer's launch, Locke and Kane had been cleaned up, leaving only edible meat and skeletons, wearing a wooden stick and placing it directly on the barbecue.

Locke, who was holding a dagger, gave the venison a knife from time to time, and then sprinkled the condiment, so that the aroma of the condiment blended with the venison in the high temperature.

Except for Kane's little help when grilling the meat, the rest was done by Locke independently.

The silver dagger and the red dagger handle are like beautiful butterflies, dancing over the bonfire.

Old Locke still remembered the dagger that Locke had with him when he first joined the army, and said in surprise, "After so many years, this dagger seems to be of good quality." ”

Leah's eyes stayed on the handle of the dagger, although the color had been dyed red, Leah could still guess that this was the one she had given to Locke, and she thought about it and looked down for a long time.

A whole deer, because there was not much meat, was wiped out by two-thirds in just one meal.

Most of this venison is lean, and it is very chewy, Locke eats very comfortably, he and Kane are the main force of eating, old Locke and Tia can no longer bite this venison, Leah only ate a little because of her small appetite.

In the evening, Kane greeted the Locke family and went back to Hans's house to sleep, and Locke helped the family clean up the chores and lay down in bed early.

He and his sister Leah still live in the same room, but in the past two days, old Locke and Tia have also noticed that something is wrong, and they are ready to find the carpenter and mason in the village to add another room to their family.

Now that the old couple has the huge amount of money that Locke gave them, they are not bad at all.

Not long after lying in bed, his sister Leah also entered the room, and Locke's breathing was steady, and he seemed to be asleep.

Seeing this, Leah gently took off her clothes, her underwear had been worn for almost a week, because Locke was in the room, and it was not convenient to change into a new one.

When Leah was changing clothes on one side, Locke on the other side held his breath and didn't dare to move, Locke, a low-level squire, had a keen sense of observation that allowed him to see things clearly at night, and of course he found out what his sister was doing.

Reluctant not to peek, Locke silently worked in his heart to calm down some of his agitated qi and blood.

Time was always long and short, and Leah had somehow changed her clothes and went to bed.

Locke breathed a long sigh of relief and was about to go to bed, but found that he couldn't sleep, turned left and right, and all Locke was thinking about the scene just now.

When his wooden bed made a "creaking, creaking" sound, Locke finally stopped his restlessness, after all, it was his childhood bed, and Locke, who was already 1.78 meters, was now lying on the bed, and could only curl up to ensure that his feet did not touch the ground. Coupled with the poor quality of the wooden bed, Locke had already made up his mind to go to town and rebuild a bed in a few days.

At this moment, her sister Leah suddenly opened her mouth and said, "You're going to town tomorrow, right?"

Locke didn't know when Leah found out that she hadn't fallen asleep, so he paused and could only say, "Yes, Uncle Yoshak asked for it, I want to report it." ”

When the troops returned home, the baron gave the leadership of the soldiers in the mine town to Joshak and Locke, because Locke had been a soldier under Joshak before, so he did not take the lead, and everything was dominated by Uncle Joshak.

"Will you ever come back?" asked Leah, unoblivious to the fact that Locke hadn't actually fallen asleep just now.

"Of course. Locke affirmed, "If you don't know soon, you'll be back in the afternoon." ”

Locke is also the squadron leader, and he is still a cavalry squadron, and although Uncle Yoshak is the main tone of the soldiers, it is inseparable from Locke's approval.

"Come back early. Leah didn't say much, just a sentence, and closed her eyes.

Locke looked sideways at Leah lying on the bed, the bright moonlight shone through the wooden window, shining on Leah's bed, it was so holy and beautiful.
