Chapter 123: A Warm Family
"Hello, we are past troubadours, we want to borrow a night on your farm tonight, I wonder if it is convenient?"
Anna smiled and said to the owner of the farm, who was a tall man of about fifty years of age, his temples were already a little gray, and he looked a very serious man. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The farmer looked at Anna, and then at Bagio, his expression was serious, and at the same time he was on guard, for in the middle of the night, two travelers suddenly came and wanted to spend the night, and anyone would be full of doubts.
"Yes, but you can only rest in the barn!" said the farmer coldly.
"Thank you, we'll compensate you......"
"I don't want any compensation!, you just have to stay for me honestly until tomorrow morning, and then get me out of here as soon as it is dawn, I don't want to make any trouble!" the farmer interrupted Baggio's words, and Baggio scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Don't worry, we'll be leaving early tomorrow morning. Anna said with a smile still on her face.
The farmer nodded, and led Baggio and Anna to the barn, where they both noticed that there was a little boy looking at Bagio and Anna from the window.
"Take Ronnie away!"
The farmer shouted into the house, and Bagio and Anna saw a woman hurrying over and taking the little boy away, because they only saw it through the window, so they didn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but it was vaguely obvious that the woman was fat, and Bagio guessed that it was the farmer's wife.
The farmer continued to lead Baggio and Anna on their way, and the barn was not far from the cottage on the farm, the door of the barn was ajar, and there was light from an oil lamp inside, and it seemed that there was someone else in the barn.
Bagio and Anna followed the farmer into the barn, and in the depths of the barn, a good-looking woman with short black hair was leaning against a straw pile, covered with a blanket, and beside her a petite and lovely girl was sitting on the ground, trying to feed her, but the black-haired woman looked embarrassed, she should want to grab the bowl and eat herself.
"Sissi!Curry, she's almost fine, don't feed her, she's not a child!" said the farmer angrily, the girl saw the farmer coming, and immediately stood up with a smile, she was the farmer's daughter, Sissi, who was just sixteen years old this year.
The black-haired woman, known as Curry, is the master assassin of the former Black Harbor Saluli Bay Assassin Organization - Owl Blade, but now, the Owl Blade, an assassin organization, no longer exists, and Christine has become the target of the Blood of Oath - the assassin organization that replaced Owl Blade and became the new force in Black Harbor.
Half a month ago, Christine was attacked by the Blood of Oath assassins in the area of the Free City-State, although in the end Christine successfully got rid of the Blood of Oath assassins, but she was also seriously injured, she had to go around the far north, to the border ruled by the Will family of Fog Castle, and then dragged her seriously injured body, insisted on the vicinity of this farm, and then fainted to the ground, and finally the farmer Herschel found her, and took her back to the farm to treat Christine.
"Hey, Dad, I'm afraid that Curry won't be able to get hurt, so I'm here to help her. Sissi said with a smile, and she smiled with two cute dimples on her cheeks.
"I actually...... You can eat by yourself, I'm almost fine......" Christine smiled awkwardly.
"Hmph! you're not the only one, Zach?" said Herschel, the farmer, in a stern tone, but Sissi was unmoved, she just stuck out her tongue mischievously, and then glanced up at her.
"Get out of here!" Hershel raised his head and shouted angrily, only to see a young man about twenty-five years old jump from the top of the barn, this young man felt very sunny and handsome.
"Sissi, you're not going to tell Daddy I'm not here!" Zach glanced at Sissi, who just smiled at him.
"You still want to teach your sister to lie? How do you act like a big brother?!" Hershel roared with a frown, and Zach lowered his head in amusement and apologized.
"Hey, Dad, don't you care about Zack, doesn't Zack want to bring you a good daughter-in-law!" Sissi said with a smile, which made both Zaka and Christine blush.
"Sissi, don't talk nonsense!" Zaka's voice almost screamed, and Christine lowered her head, not responding to Sissi's words.
"After the injury of the family Curry is healed, he will leave here, I advise you not to have any sweet dreams, the other Curry is from a merchant family, and he is not a farmer like us. Hershel said coldly, which made Zach a little unhappy and Sissi a little unhappy, and Christine just smiled bitterly.
After Kristen became conscious, she once told the Hershel family that she was learning business from her father, and was attacked by robbers while traveling with the caravan, and the Herschel family was not too suspicious, Herschel just asked Christine why she was wearing weapons, and Christine told Herschel that her father had hired a martial arts teacher to teach her some fighting skills since she was a child, so she would wear weapons.
Zach and Sissi didn't want to argue with Herschel, they both looked at Bagio and Anna together, Bagio and Anna smiled and nodded to the siblings, Zack and Sissi responded politely, and then the two siblings walked out of the barn in a fight.
"This girl here is called Curry, and she lives here on my side, you two will stay here tonight, remember to stay away from my house, I don't want my family to be too close to strangers. Hershel said warningly to Baggio and Anna.
"Don't worry, we'll leave tomorrow morning, so we won't have anything to do with your family. Anna smiled, Hershel nodded in satisfaction, he informed Christine again, and left the barn.
After Herschel left, Baggio and Anna looked at each other, and they both smiled bitterly, they both had in their hearts, this farmer was really not easy to get along with, but he still allowed the two to live here, and he was still a good person.
Christine was looking at Baggio and Anna vigilantly at this time, her hand was tightly gripping her weapon, Christine was worried that Bagio and Anna would be the assassins of the Blood of Oath, if the assassins of the Blood of the Oath attacked at this time, then it would be difficult for Christine to escape alive.
Bagio and Anna also noticed Christine's actions, and Christine's appearance also made Baggio and the others deeply suspicious, but they didn't show it, Bagio and Anna both smiled at Christine, and then sat on the side of the barn.
"It's a little cold that you're hurt, and the farmer still lets you live in this place. Baggio said with a smile, he wanted Christine to let her guard down, after all, it was not a good sign if Christine kept holding a weapon.
"Herschel is a good man, he just wants to protect his family, I understand him. Christine said lightly, she never dared to be careless about Bagio and Anna.
"Meow!"
At this moment, a gray and white cat came out of the corner of the barn, with a large mouse in its mouth and its eyes bright, and the cat ran to Christine excitedly.
"I've told you so many times!Don't eat mice around me!" Christine frowned and exclaimed with a depressed face, this cat is Christine's pet, Drafania, Christine summons it almost every night, Drafania is Christine's best friend.
"Wow, is this your cat?" said Baggio with a smile as he looked at Drafania.
"Yes, it's called Drafania, you can call it Drafania. Christine said with a smile that she likes to be talked about her cat.
"It's very good at catching mice, and it looks like the farmer will love it." Baggio said with a smile.
"Well, Hershel did like it, and Hershel said he wanted me to give him Dra, so I didn't want it. Christine still smiled and said, Drafania brought her too much happiness, if it wasn't for Drafania, then Christine would definitely be the loneliest.
Bagio is also a person who likes animals, although he has never had the opportunity to raise animals, he and Christine chatted about some topics about animals, and the two of them still feel very harmonious, although Christine still does not dare to let go of her guard easily, but obviously the atmosphere is much better now than just now, the night is late, Baggio, Anna and Christine are no longer idle, and they all sleep separately.
The night is quiet, in such a silent night, people are immersed in sweet dreams, how happy it is, but this happiness is ruthlessly broken.
"What the hell are you going to do?!" came the screams of a woman and the roar of Herschel, the farmer, and Baggio, Anna, and Christine woke up in an instant, and they all got their weapons in hand, and came to the barn gate, and Baggio and Christine were secretly surprised by each other's skills, but they didn't say anything, because they were now concerned about the situation on the other side of the farm hut.
It was impossible to see the situation on the other side of the farm hut from the barn, so Baggio, Anna, and Christine crept out of the barn, and they came to the side of the hut, and then hid among the grass, and watched the situation on the other side of the hut.
At this time, Herschel's family was pulled out by a group of soldiers in regular armor and surrounded in the middle, Hershel listened to his chest and glared angrily at one of the captains who led the troops, while next to Hershel was his wife Lola, who held their youngest son Ronnie in her arms, her body was trembling, while their eldest son Zack looked at the soldiers around him with an angry face, and her daughter Sissi was holding Zack's arm uneasily.
