Chapter 169: Snowy Night

"Don't be so stingy, can't you let your daughter take me to the warehouse along the way!" Stannis still smiled evilly before going out again, because the village chief's palm pearl was a rare beauty.

"Absolutely not!" I didn't expect this little village chief to be very tough.

Stannis stumbled open the door, only to find that his men were about to freeze into sticks, as the blizzard had blown the bonfire out several times as they entered the village.

"Is there anyone alive!" Stannis shouted tentatively against the snowstorm.

Robert, who was shivering from the cold, raised his hand and responded, "Boss, I'm ...... I'm still alive, but it doesn't look like it's going to last long......"

Led by the lord, the group found the warehouse at the back of the village, and the village chief did not lie to them, that is, the warehouse made of firewood had been half crushed by the blizzard......

Thankfully, the warehouse was large enough that even though the south side was crushed by snow, there was still enough space for all of them to the north. Soon, the half-hundred-hundred-strong team inhabited it, and the dry blue fire ignited again, and the leaky warehouse instantly became as hot as summer.

"I'm resurrected!" Robert pulled off his snow-filled boots, which had become a sea of water, but the soaked robe and boots were baked clean under the heat.

Stannis grabbed a handful of snow and put it in a pan, poured some millet from the grain bag and roasted it over the fire, what could be more pleasant than drinking hot millet porridge in such a cold weather?, but in fact, he could only cook porridge or instant noodles because of his poor cooking skills......

Soon, the aroma of grain spread throughout the warehouse, and every soldier gulped down the food like a wolf, which was provided by the Wolf Wittkins boy anyway, and it didn't feel bad to eat.

After eating and drinking, the soldiers, who had exhausted their strength in the snow, quickly fell asleep, and the snoring in the warehouse was heard one after another, and even Robert and the soldiers pillowed each other regardless of his image.

But Stannis hadn't slept yet, he snuggled up in the crack of the warehouse, letting the cold wind blow in from there lapping his cheek to wake himself up, as he had to think about his next move.

Will he continue to march in this snowy frozen hell? The difficulty of this operation was far greater than he had imagined, and in just one day, several of his men froze their hands and feet, and although no one had been frozen to death on the way, if the snow continued in this form, I am afraid that if the castle of the Claus family had not yet been seen, more than a thousand people would have disappeared into the heavy snow.

He even began to be suspicious of the purpose of this operation, it was necessary to make such a big formation to investigate the cause of the disappearance of that family?

Stannis decided that he would say what he thought at tomorrow's meeting, and that he could not continue to march blindly in vain, and that he had to send a reconnaissance team to find out the situation first.

Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound coming from the plank, and when he listened closely, it sounded like the screeching sound of someone scratching the wall with their fingernails again.

How could anyone be here in this goddamn weather? Could it be some kind of monster!

Thinking of this, Stannis quietly moved his hand to the hilt of his sword, and he tried to wake up Robert next to him, but his little brother only answered him with louder snoring.

The frequency of this unbearable sound grew louder and louder, and finally, a hand appeared through the crack!

Stannis was directly frightened and jumped up, and with a 'ho', the long sword was drawn out in an instant. But when the blade was about to pierce through the gap, Stannis's hand paused in mid-air, because he clearly saw that it was a slender hand, a woman's hand!

He unloaded the plank, and found that it was the beautiful maiden named Deborah, the daughter of the village chief, and saw that she was dressed in a white felt coat and holding a large package wrapped in oilcloth.

"You...... Why are you here?" Stannis was shocked at first, and then realized that he had lost his temper and quickly let the girl in.

Deborah removed her hood, revealing her beautiful red curls, which stood out in the shadow of the flames. Instead of answering his question, the girl opened the cloth sac, revealing the soft quilts from inside and laying them on the floor.

"Well, your dad knows you're here......" Stannis felt a little wrong, how could any girl bring their own quilts!? not to mention that they had only met once.

Deborah just laid out the quilt with a smile on her face, and then she began to take off her coat and burrow into the warm bed.

Stannis's two 5.0 eyes played to their advantage at this time.

"My lord, what are you still doing there, aren't you cold standing outside?"

The beautiful woman greeted seductively.

Stannis, of course, didn't believe in such a pie-in-the-sky thing, and he circled around the girl suspiciously, and then looked up at Robert and the soldiers who were asleep, thinking what they would do if they woke up and found such a good thing.

However, looking at the girl's face, Stannis was keenly aware that it was pretending, although he was very slow in the affairs of men and women, but he was not stupid, and he immediately reacted to the reason why this girl did it.

"You're not trying to get revenge on your dad in this way......

Deborah stopped writhing under the covers, a little surprised that the lord in front of her had rejected her beauty, and the man didn't even raise an eyebrow.

Although Stannis is not a Xilu Yanagishita Megumi, he is very dissatisfied with this kind of behavior that clearly treats him as a Kaizi, and naturally he also verbally refuses the temptation of this woman.

“...... You're not interested in me?" asked the girl in surprise, and with so many men passing from south to north, none of them rejected her so bluntly.

Stannis scratched his head and looked at the sleeping crowd again, "I can't say that there is nothing at all, in fact, I want to know why you did this, your father will be very sad!"

Deborah's face darkened, and Stannis knew he had said the wrong thing.

After a long time, the woman spoke, her voice full of bitter gloom and the pleasure of revenge, "The reason why I did this is to take revenge on him, he always wants to climb to a high nobleman through my beauty, but I prefer to be the lowest woman and let him lose face and gain nothing." ”
