176. Randall (X)
"You say that Sir Imu gave up the good life of Grad and went north to Purje in search of treasure?
"Quite possibly, no, there must be. ”
"How can I be sure the treasure map is real?"
"Once I was drunk and revealed the message, Lord Imu once showed the map, shook his head and said that as long as he can obtain the treasure and present it to the Grand Duke and His Highness, he will at least be an earl in the future, and he has asked me to send people to explore around the Pulie Mountains several times, saying that it is to look for minerals, but I think it should be because the treasure is buried in the ground. ”
"What do those Gentiles look like?"
"I haven't seen it once, but I saw a note on the map in Italian, and although I don't know the language, I know the long, thin letters of the same number of customers I have dealt with before, including a few Siri merchants. ”
"Where are they now?"
"I don't know. ”
Afraid of his life, Burney answered every question very quickly, not like a lie, Afkana stared at him carefully, people's hearts were deeper than the sea, and they could not see anything, and they were tempted by the legendary Roman treasure, believing this and threatening, "If these words hide a lie, I will let you be crucified with honor, and go after God." ”
Looking at Imu, who began to make a slight noise on the ground, for fear that there would be changes, Burnie hurriedly said, "Lord Imu was injured by Thor's pursuers, and it seems that he can't be saved, I suggest that he be relieved by another sword, so that he can die with honor and dignity, what do you think?"
Avkana disagreed, and asked Binjinen and Brny to put Imu in the small carriage from which he had fled, and then tie her horse to the front of the carriage and turn it into a two-horse carriage.
"Get out of here first, lest you be discovered by Thor's pursuers. Afkana forcefully brought the stiff Persian woman into the carriage, the small carriage, barely accommodating herself, the Persian woman and Imu in total, and Burni and Binchinen in front of the horse command.
The speed of the car was not fast, but the Persian woman was pale, and she vomited in the carriage, killing people, and after going to the battlefield, the sour smell of Avkana was not a thing, and she took it for a stinky cheese, and the car stared at Imu for most of the time, and the short sword was placed in front of him, ready to deal a fatal blow to him who might wake up.
Thor did not dare to go too far south, and after leaving the small forest for more than a mile, the group found two elderly men in a group, and under their guidance, the "two horses and five men" entered the village of Karna safely.
Wray recruited two thousand young men in the territory to support Randall, and this ordinary, peaceful little village was also on the list, and almost all the young men in the village were recruited, so those who stayed behind, mostly children and women, heard the sound of wheels pressing on the ground, so that many people hurriedly hid in the house and peeked through the crack in the door.
.
"Under the Purple Gold Grand Duke, Sir Sword Flower, my lord - Lord Avkana. ”
Bin Qining symbolically shouted a few words, and ordered an old man to lead the way, and finally the carriage stopped in front of a large house that was half stone and half grass, and several free-range chickens and ducks were pecking on the ground.
When the village chief, dressed in coarse linen, and his eight relatives who appeared to be fairly healthy, all arrived, Bin Qining gave the order to temporarily requisition the village. This place belongs to the border of the province of Dom, owned by the late Marquis Penny, and is sparsely populated, and has not been damaged by war, so some civilian goods are still abundant.
Avkana was thirsty, and after taking a few sips of water, she asked Brni to take out the coins she had taken from Imu, and generously gave them to the village chief, rewarding more and making up for less, and opening a list for him to find a way to solve it.
"Find a craftsman to repair the wheels of the carriage,
"When you leave, prepare ten days of coarse grain and water,
"The blacksmith rebranded the horseshoe and an ordinary sword,
"Clean gauze, wine, herbs that stop pain and bleeding,
“......。 ”
She also told the village chief who knew Imu that Imu was unwell and forbade anyone to disturb the meeting, and that she would deliver the food herself, and then secretly locked Imu in the man's house, tied it up with a thick rope and coarse cloth, and then brought the woman in charge of delivering the baby in the village to visit the Persian woman.
Perhaps because of her strong will to survive, after a night of intermittent wailing, the Persian woman was better and no longer said that she had a stomachache.
On the morning of the second day, when the chief's ladies brought a large bucket of water and a wooden bucket for food, which Afkana put into the bucket and was served to wash her body, she remembered Randall, who was very fond of bathing, once or twice a day, all year round.
Everything about Randall came to her mind, the lines of his muscles, the pant sound pressing down on her...... But after she touched her gauze-covered eyes, she angrily slapped her hand on the water and made a splash. If Randall hadn't let Imu go and let him be powerful and lead the troops, how could he be blind?
The nobles were moody, and the ladies of the village chief were trembling and did not dare to breathe, and after removing all the filth from her body, Afkana changed into one of the best dresses of the hostess, and generously rewarded her with a gold eagle pound.
This is also a habit learned from Randall, he always has a man with a heavy money bag by his side, as long as he is happy, he will reward him in time and buy people's hearts.
At this time, three more sword-wielding remnants fled here with wounded support, two of them were the people of Afkana's fiefdom, and by her grace, she changed from a farmer to a soldier, and she rejoiced that there were two more men to drive, and that there was no need to worry about the Persian woman and Brni trying to escape. The other, Imu, was the most seriously injured, his leather armor was red and he walked with a limp, looking in pain.
Afkana asked the village chief to vacate two more thatched huts in the house not far from the opposite, and after a while, she went to comfort her subordinates, and gave Bin Qining a look, and told him to go to the soldier's house, and when Bin Qining entered, after about five minutes, she strode out and sighed, "The wound is too serious, and the person died suddenly." "And let the village chief send someone to bury it.
That night, Afkana asked the village chief's family to move to a neighbor's house fifty meters away, and then went to visit Imu with food, while two soldiers who were still able to move watched the Persian woman.
Yimu couldn't break free, his hands and feet were all rope marks, his body was sore, he only drank some water, and was tied up for another day, unable to excrete, and the filth could only flow out of his pants, plus the scars that were not cleaned, attracted several flies to fly around.
He had never experienced such treatment, and when he saw Afkana, Burnie, and Binchinen with food in their hands clean, he suppressed his anger in time, because he smelled the unpleasant smell of danger and death.
"You look very upset and uncomfortable. Avkana told Binjining to go up and untie the cloth from his mouth, but the dagger was immediately close, and as long as he writhed, or spoke loudly, the delicate and unprotected neck could be used as paint, and it would not be fun to dye the silver-white sword body a maple red.
Imu thought about how to speak, and after a while, "You were bought by Thor?"
"No, it's the treasure, where are the maps and the Gentiles?" Afkana is straightforward.
Imu froze, and then Brni, who was present at the meeting, repeated everything he knew.
"He's a liar, a thief, who wants to kill his master's dog, and what he says is worse than shit. Imu couldn't help but say, "Let me go, I will forget all this, it was "you" who saved me from this bastard, I swear by the honor of nobility, with my father, and even the blood of the golden lion, I will repay you well." He said this weakly, because of the cold feeling under his neck, he didn't dare to get excited, although his heart was tormented, the tone of his voice was stable and only one tone.
"Where's the map?"
"Not really...... this thing. ”
"Hungry, aren't you?" Afkana suddenly approached, took the food on the plate in her hand, and slowly fed it to Imu.
Imu was a little nervous for fear of being poisonous, but the hunger in his stomach reminded him that he needed to eat to replenish his strength.
After taking a few bites of the hard and bitter bread, it was finally swallowed, and after quickly feeding the food, Afkana said kindly again, "Do you have it now?"
But seeing that Imu still shook her head, her patience disappeared, "You should eat more." Afkana walked out, and when she came back in, she poured a glass of stinky milk down Imu's face, and spread it over her nose and lips. Ground hard bread and sprinkled from his face, cheese, and a few slices of freshly baked black meat were thrown on Imu.
"Seal. After Afkana finished speaking, Imu was stuffed with a cloth ball in his mouth, and he lost the ability to use his tongue again.
Afkana then asked Brney to take out a small tin box with seven or eight black caterpillars in it.
These bugs are evenly sprinkled on Imu's body.
"Every once in a while, I'll come back in, you think clearly. ”
After Afkana left, the doors and windows were closed and covered with wooden planks, and the air was dry, and the smell of human sweat and food mixed in, gradually leading out of the creatures called "worms" under the bed and in the cracks in the walls.
At the same time, Brny was sent to the filthy farmhouse with torches, and continued to catch snakes, insects, rats and ants, and sent them to Imu's room every hour.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak. The room was full of alien creatures, some of which had climbed on Imu, and he felt nauseous, anxious, and even terrified.
He couldn't sleep, so he had to think wildly to avoid these things, but it didn't work well.
Bugs burrowed at his wounds, biting at his flesh, and a small cockroach wriggled around his ear, slowly entering the piercing .......
Suddenly, the lower body tightened!
A mouse was greeting his "brother", and Imu spewed out golden water like ears of rice with all his might, trying to drive it away.
Fortunately, the door opened again at this time, and a faint light instantly penetrated, like the light of heaven, making these dark and ugly insects suddenly stop.
The light tells Imu that his courage has lasted for a long night.
He rolled his eyes towards Afkana, who realized.
"Adolf's kinship, the golden lion bloodline that pees his pants?"
Afkana let out a laugh as clear as a bell......
