Chapter 21: Together

From the city, it took about half an hour to ride horses to the destination of their trip, a pasture next to the camp of the city guards. According to Greenfell, the ranch was actually the property of the city guards, providing meat and fur for the soldiers.

When the four of them came to the door, they happened to encounter the changing of the guard of the sentinel, and it seemed that this place was also guarded twenty-four hours a day. Greenfell handed the pass to the sentry, who gave him permission after verifying that it was correct, but the expression on his face was clearly surprised.

After all, most of the victims rescued from the village occupied by monsters were the old, weak, sick and disabled who had no support, and after so many days, Su Wen and the others were the first to come to this resettlement camp in the name of "visiting relatives".

Led by a soldier, the group came to the door of a warehouse.

A few miscellaneous items were piled up in the depths of the warehouse, and the rest of the place was cleared out and lined up with improvised beds, like the halls in the inn.

Ellie wanted to run over, but was grabbed by Su Wen's wrist. Although Su Wen could understand Ellie's feelings, after all, this was still on the territory of the city guards, and he had to act in accordance with their rules.

"Well, let me see ......" The soldier asked, holding a list, to Greenfell, "Are you looking for an elderly woman named Linda?"

"Yes!"

"In bed fourteen, come with me. The soldier put down his list and walked forward.

Most of these beds were still sleeping people, and some woke up, and Ellie would say hello to anyone she knew, but those people obviously didn't recognize Ellie anymore, and just watched them pass by blankly.

They knew Marina, but they and Marina were only nodding acquaintances.

"Grandma!" Seeing the familiar figure sitting on the bed, Ellie could no longer maintain her inner peace and rushed over.

Su Wen didn't pay attention, and was actually broken free by Ellie. However, the soldier did not say anything, and seemed to understand the situation.

Hearing the shout, the old man sitting on the bed didn't react for a while, and was still looking at the sheets in a daze. It wasn't until Ellie's second voice came that she realized that the voice was a little familiar, and then, with careful anticipation, lifted her deeply wrinkled face and looked at the place where the voice had come from.

Before the old man could see clearly, Ellie suddenly flew into the old man's arms.

The old man was a little stunned, could it really be Ellie?

"Grandma!" Ellie finally looked up at the kind face that she had been thinking about for a long time.

But I haven't seen it for a week, and the old man in front of him seems to be a little older than before, and there is a lack of vitality between his eyebrows. Ellie's joy was filled with more distress, and her eyes turned red.

“...... Ellie?" The unfamiliar face in front of him gave the old man a sense of familiarity with each other, and it took a long time before he repeatedly confirmed, "Ellie...... You're Ellie?!"

"It's me!" Ellie was recognized by Linda and burst into tears, "What's the matter, has it changed?"

"Oh my God!" Linda raised her hands tremblingly, holding Ellie's face, her somewhat cloudy amber eyes glancing, and then meeting Ellie's blue eyes, and then choking up with excitement: "My good granddaughter...... How did you become so good-looking? Thank goodness it's great that you're okay!"

"Hey, hey, hey. Ellie smirked and sat down on the bed in a different position, but her hands didn't let go of Linda's body. It seems that she does miss her grandmother too much.

Linda finally saw Ellie's whole body clearly, and the shock caused by Ellie's facial changes added another layer: "Oh my God! Why did you suddenly grow up...... Oh my God, she's a big girl!"

Ellie was still smirking, as if she was already satisfied with seeing that her grandmother was okay.

"Old lady Linda, your granddaughter has picked you up. The old man who felt the feeling of being separated from a bed saw this scene and asked with a smile.

"yes, yes. Linda replied before turning her attention to the others.

Marlena, a beautiful girl in the village, she knows. As for the two adult men around, although they don't know each other, they don't look like bad people, and it's probably because of them that Ellie can come here.

Suddenly a "ding" bell rang outside the warehouse, and when they heard this sound, the victims in the warehouse made a commotion.

"What's wrong?" Ellie asked.

"Hey, it's breakfast. ”

Su Wen noticed that Linda's mood was a little lower. Not only Su Wen, but Greenfell and Marlena also noticed the change in the atmosphere in the warehouse.

Several soldiers came to the door of the warehouse with a cart with two large buckets, one of which was steaming. The victims took their bowls from the bedside shelves and waited for the soldiers to distribute food to them.

A spoonful of paste, a piece with some greens and bread.

Such a simple combination is a meal for the victims.

"Lord, let's give me a lot of bread...... an old man took the bread and begged the soldiers again.

"Son, for you, it's enough for my mother to drink a bowl of porridge. "An old lady handed bread to her son, who was intellectually disabled.

......

The soldiers who distributed the meal passed by Linda, and they were also surprised by the four Su Wen who came to look for their relatives, and intentionally or unintentionally, gave Linda's bowl to the brim.

Linda took the food, turned around, and called the middle-aged man with disabled legs on the other side of the bed: "Big Pete, come, this bread will be eaten for you." ”

The lean man was a little frightened and hurriedly excused himself.

"You helped me so much on the way, and there is nothing to repay you, don't even refuse to accept this little bit of the old woman's heart......"

Perhaps he was really hungry, Pete took the piece of bread with both hands, which was only a little bigger than his fist, and thanked him again and again.

"The food here is not good?" Su Wen frowned slightly.

Greenfell squinted at the soldier who was still nearby, observing and thinking quickly in his mind about how to react to the soldier's possible reaction.

"It's nice to have something to eat. The young soldier who accompanied them said.

Su Wen turned his head and looked at the soldier.

"We eat a little better than them, this dog's day Henry......" Perhaps realizing that he had said too much, the soldier hurriedly advised: "Don't talk nonsense when you go out!"

Deduction of food expenses?

"Grandma. Su Wen didn't know what to call Linda, so she simply called with Ellie: "Lunch and dinner, are they the same?"

"Lunch and dinner, two meals a day. It's not enough to feed people......" The old man across the bed interjected.

"Baron Shetton, is such a hypocrite?" Su Wen asked Greenfield again.

"......" Greenfell looked at the soldier's face and replied cautiously, "I guess the Baron's policy should be good, but if it is implemented, there will be some moths......"

The soldier showed a look of deep approval, but immediately put it away again, paused, and then persuaded again: "You better talk less...... If only ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a sound of neat footsteps came from outside.

"Stand upright. ”

With two strokes, a group of soldiers stopped in front of the warehouse door.

Next to this group of soldiers, an officer with a full face was particularly conspicuous.
