Chapter 221 Thank you
After more than half a month, the fleeing people have returned to their homes one after another, although this place has long been dilapidated, but everyone still has hands and feet, and began to rebuild their homes in an orderly manner.
The emergency reserves everywhere were transported to the Rhodesia region in an orderly manner, and Arthur was classified into categories, in accordance with the order from advance to far, reasonable arrangements, and there was no deduction. Originally, according to the normal situation, as long as there was a disaster, it was an opportunity to make a fortune, but he gave up completely.
In the town of Dole, where Arthur settled, Arthur could be seen every day with a dozen knights, going out in the morning and returning late at night or even in the middle of the night, and this situation has been going on for a long time.
All kinds of deeds are seen in everyone's eyes, moved in their hearts, and admired.
His handsome appearance, resolute demeanor, and the fact that he saved the entire Rhodesian region are even worshipped as gods and feared by the people here.
Recently, I heard that the knight of Gawain had led the victory of the people and had surrounded the last enemy in the col, and I believe that in a few days there will be a grand celebration. Everyone has a smile on their faces, and although they are busy, they are also happy.
On this day, Arthur handed over the last supplies to the village supervisor, and then slowly returned to Dole with the people and the convoy.
On the way, Arthur faintly felt that someone was following the team behind him, and he felt doubtful in his heart, although he was only following far behind, but he still felt it.
"Take a break, there's a lake over there, let the horses rest. Arthur commanded.
"But my lord, our next stop is coming. The auxiliary officer beside him hesitated.
"Listen to me. ”
Arthur turned his horse's head and walked down the official road from the side of the group, disappearing into the woods in an instant.
The adjutant had to wave his hand to stop the procession, waiting for Arthur's return, although everyone was not very tired, but they were still happy about it, and they sat on the ground talking and laughing.
Arthur on the other side rode quickly along the jungle, and the people who were following them behind him turned and fled, but how could people run faster than horses, and after a while Arthur rode his horse and forced the figure to the lake.
Dressed in a cloak of coarse linen and a pair of torn straw sandals, Arthur looked like a woman, but with his back to him, Arthur couldn't tell who it was.
Turning and dismounting, Arthur slowly approached.
Without any powerful aura, just an ordinary woman.
"Who are you, do you need my help?" asked Arthur.
In front of her was a long river, stretching far away and not knowing the end, the woman couldn't cross the river, and the road behind her was blocked by Arthur, and there was nothing to leave.
It is impossible for a man to run faster than a horse, and he does not know what to do for a while.
The woman lowered her head, very aggrieved, but she didn't want to say anything.
"My lord, I just want to thank you, and I don't mean anything else. Now that I'm satisfied, you can also leave. ”
Looking at that back, Arthur frowned, if he didn't have something else in his heart, he wouldn't be able to follow him all the time.
Arthur stepped forward, the woman felt the movement behind her, and ran forward in fright, there was a river in front of her, but she would rather die than let Arthur know who she was.
An invisible chain tugged at her body, and she wanted to run again, but she had lost her freedom.
"I'm curious, I have to know who you are. ”
The power of the wind pattern enveloped the woman's body and held her in place.
Walking in front of the woman, Arthur gently lifted the hat on the woman's head, saw the woman's face, and was stunned for a moment.
Sophia, a beautiful young mother, but her face was full of vegetables, her eyes were sunken, and she had deep dark circles.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Arthur pulled water and some dry food out of the space.
"Poor woman, is there anything I can do to help you? I am fortunate that I exist, and without me you would have had a different fate. ”
Arthur's words broke through Sophia's last line of defense, and she collapsed on the ground and cried bitterly...
Sophia finished eating the food, Arthur also knew the general situation, and called his horse over, Sophia was very weak, and she could follow him so far, and let Arthur be so frightened, she had already lost all her strength.
Helping the woman to sit on her horse, Sophia wanted to refuse, but Arthur just glanced at it casually, so that she didn't dare to refute at all. Accustomed to sitting on the top, a casual movement carries an unquestionable majesty.
Brought Sophia back to the big team, explained a few words to the auxiliary officer, asked him to find a carriage to accommodate Sophia, and left again on his horse.
The people in the village happily waited for the distribution of supplies, all the supplies were very large, and there were many more to follow, enough for them to live for a while, as long as they persevered for this time, everything was much better.
Earl Arthur issued an order, this order was issued to all nobles, representing the authority of the king, the harvest of the past 1 year will not be levied by the nobles, giving everyone a good respite, this year's harvest is enough for everyone to recover.
The village chief maintained order, but the crowd that was still noisy just now was silent for a moment, and when he looked up, a person slowly walked in from outside the village.
Earl Arthur.
"Your Excellency, you—" The village chief wanted to ask Arthur why he had gone and returned, but it was difficult to say because his face was solemn, and it was completely different from the smile he had just left.
No one knew how to ram Arthur, and no one knew why he was like this.
"Sophia, do you know this poor woman?" said Arthur.
Everyone seemed to have come to their senses, but no one dared to speak, and they kept bowing their heads and saying nothing.
Sophia is a person from this village, Sophia's son is a demon, there is no impermeable wall in the world, the things she did have long been known to outsiders, everything proves that she is not a clean woman, people are despised, and no one dares to approach him.
The villagers' harassment and insults, and even the children scolded her as a **, a witch, and a demon, which struck Sophia's heart.
How a powerless woman can resist a man like a wolf.
"Village Chief!" Arthur shouted.
"Yes, sir. The village chief quickly fell to his knees.
"All the children in the village were hung from a tree for a day, and all the women were not allowed to speak for a month, and all the men were not allowed to bathe for two months. I am a merciful person and do not bully civilians, but it is a shame that you almost killed a poor man, and I hope you will remember this punishment. ”
"The women who took the lead in spreading rumors, the men who bullied innocents, I want you to remember one sentence. ”
"If you are not capable of justice and love, then please remain a good person, for I think you cannot be without the ability to discern right from wrong. ”
Sophia's home was forcibly occupied, food was deliberately withheld, rumors spread everywhere, and all kinds of acts were simply shameless.
"My lord, I'll do it right away. ”
"Keep it in mind, you have disappointed me, but I will not do anything to you, but your actions make me sad. ”
Arthur sneered and rode away.
