Chapter 13 Return to the Village
Heidi got up early in the morning and took her sister Wendy and the children of the village to the entrance of the village to clean up the weeds and garbage around the road at the entrance of the village. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Since Leo appointed Feng Xifan as the village head, the soldiers who go out every day will bring back a large amount of prey, and now every old man and child can eat barbecue and drink meat porridge. This kind of happy day makes every villager cherish it, everyone consciously takes the initiative to do things and do their part for their village, and even these children can't help but beg Sister Heidi to lead them to do what they can.
Heidi, who had been busy early in the morning, had just straightened up with the children to clean up a large patch of weeds at the entrance of the village, stretched out her hand and hammered her sore back, when she heard her sister Wendy standing on tiptoe and pointing into the distance, shouting in a loud voice: "Ah, sister, someone! A large group of people are coming!"
Heidi turned to look in the direction of her sister's finger, and a large group of black shadows appeared in the distance in the loess flying in the sky, and kept walking in the direction of the village. Heidi's pupils constricted suddenly, and in this late autumn season, it might be a ......
"Run, get back to the village!" Heidi panicked, picked up her sister Wendy, and at the same time waved her arms and shouted to the children around her.
Those who can struggle to survive on the edge of this wasteland, even the children are very alert, and when they hear Heidi's warning, the children directly throw down what they are holdings, and run to the village without hesitation. Heidi sat behind the children, running and looking behind them, but the people in the distance didn't seem to care about the children, and they still walked unhurriedly.
The eldest child who rushed to the first one ran into the village, rushed to the alarm bell in the center of the village, and rang the alarm bell in the village with all his strength. The sound of the bell kept echoing in the village, and the villagers who heard the alarm bell hid back to their homes through various channels.
Feng Xifan, who was helping Li Ao to cultivate his basic internal strength, had already been alerted to the fact that something must have happened in the village when the children ran to the village in a panic, so under Feng Xifan's reminder, Li Ao collected his work in advance, came to the center of the village in time, and asked Heidi, who had just run back, what happened.
"Yes...... Yes...... There were a large number of people coming in the direction of the village, I don't know if they were friends or foes, but they were better to be careful!" Heidi said, gasping for breath.
Hearing that a large number of people were coming, Leo raised his eyebrows, and the days were almost over, so he glanced at Heidi and said to her, "Don't panic, you can go back and rest first!"
After Heidi led Wendy and turned to leave, Feng Xifan gently leaned over Leo's ear and said, "Young master, do you want the old slave to go and see the situation first?"
"Hehe, Master Feng, you and I will go together, I guess it should be Griman who brought people back, and we will have enough people to work in the future." Leo said with a happy face.
"Oh, then congratulations young master!" Feng Xifan smiled as he stroked his beard, but he wondered in his heart what Griman would bring back.
When Leo and Feng Xifan came to the entrance of the village, they didn't let Leo wait for a while, and after a while, the crowd in the distance came to the village, and at the head of the crowd was Gleman, who was carrying a two-handed giant sword on his back. However, the people who are around him are......
Feng Xifan found out that the group of people brought back by Griman turned out to be a group of middle-aged men who had robbed them on the way to Haruna Village and ate one of their roast lamb legs.
In an instant, Feng Xifan suddenly realized, no wonder Young Master Leo looked confident before, it turned out that he had hit this group of people, but Feng Xifan's brows immediately frowned again, and he whispered to Leo in his ear: "Young Master, your idea is good, I'm afraid that these people will be difficult to change, if they refuse to obey the young master's orders or cause trouble to the villagers......"
When Feng Xifan said this, his words paused, and then his tone became gloomy.
"Hmph! Then don't blame the old slave for being ruthless! The old slave will definitely not let them ruin the young master's great cause!" Feng Xifan has never been a soft-hearted character, which can be seen from his nickname "A Sword Without Blood".
Leo glanced back at Feng Xifan speechlessly, although this old man was in good spirits, his hair was gray and his body was rickety, and he was also old, but he didn't expect to be so murderous.
"Don't worry, Master Feng, I'm sure!" Leo smiled mysteriously at Feng Xifan.
In Feng Xifan's impression, although Leo is his master, he is really not a master, Leo is a little cold, his decisiveness is slightly insufficient, and he does things first and only makes a decision after soliciting opinions. But this time Leo actually had his own idea, which surprised Feng Xifan.
In fact, this is also the difference between the concepts of Leo and Feng Xifan in different eras, Feng Xifan's eyes should be the master of killing and decisiveness, and Leo thinks that manpower is sometimes poor, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes based on personal decision, and he should brainstorm and work together, and Feng Xifan is an old Jianghu and has experience in many things, so Leo is more focused on asking his opinion, but he didn't expect it to be considered indecisive, and he was really wronged.
Seeing Young Master Leo come out from afar, he didn't expect that he had already turned around at the Ghost Gate, and Potter and the others waved at Leo and said hello. After everyone entered the village under the leadership of Griman, many pairs of curious eyes blinked through the cracks in the doors and windows of the house, and when they saw the group of young men who entered the village clearly, a cry came from every house, and women, children, and old people stumbled out of their homes, crying and crying names as they ran: "Little Tom, my child! Grandpa didn't expect to see you again!" "Daddy, Daddy, we miss you!" "Richie, son, you're back!"
Aunt Serena, who was as thick as a monster, also threw herself into the arms of the middle-aged uncle Potter, crying and saying, "Potter, you have no conscience, you remember us orphans and widows, and you know how to come back!"
The village suddenly turned into a family recognition meeting, and the villagers and young people hugged and cried together.
"Thank you!" Heidi took her sister Wendy to Leo's side again, and stood side by side with Leo in her eyes, and said to Leo with tears in her eyes: "Thank you for bringing them back, I thought I would never see them all again in my life!"
"This ...... What the hell is going on?" Feng Xifan asked with some hesitation, he was confused.
Heidi turned and explained to the old servant behind her, "These men were from the original village, and then there was not enough food in the village to feed so many people, so Uncle Potter left the village with the young people of the village, wanting to go somewhere else to earn a living. In fact, everyone understands that those who go out have seen the prosperous scene outside, and it is impossible to return to this poor mountain and bad water. ”
After Heidi finished speaking, she sighed helplessly, and her big eyes immediately looked at Leo with gratitude.
"I can guess this, but what I don't understand is how did you know that Potter's group of people belong to this village, young master?" Feng Xifan asked Leo still puzzled.
"I'm guessing, in fact, these people can go to Barony of Cullen or Silverstone as long as they go farther, and a group of young and middle-aged people can eat even if they work hard, so why bother to do thieves with little oil and water around the wasteland! When I came to Haruna Village and knew the situation in the village, I guessed that those people must be unable to leave their homeland, and would rather starve in the surrounding area than go far away. So I asked Griman to bring them back, and whether they were from Haruna or not, I could let them help build the village. Leo scratched his head embarrassedly and explained to Feng Xifan.
Before Feng Xifan could react, Heidi's eyes widened and she shouted in surprise, "What? they are going to be thieves?!"
"Be a thief...... "...... a thief" "...... a thief"
Heidi's exclamations kept echoing in the village, and the people in the village heard her exclamations, and the village was suddenly silent, and the villagers looked at their relatives with suspicion in their eyes, and the young men all bowed their heads with red faces. Old Gary's grandfather grabbed his grandson Richie by the collar, and a pair of dizzy old eyes glared at Richie fiercely and asked, "You have been out there as thieves all these years, to rob others, to steal, to rob?"
Seeing his grandfather's eyes staring at him desperately, Richie's lips squirmed a few times, trying to justify something but finally didn't say half a word, just lowered his head in shame.
Just when the young men were speechless in the face of the silent condemnation of their relatives, little Tom's childlike innocent defense voice sounded in the silent village: "We didn't steal, we didn't rob, Uncle Potter took us to hunt in the woods, dig wild vegetables, and look for mushrooms, and at most we just picked up some scraps left over from the wasteland raiders, and fought a few fights with the bastards of the Barony of Cullen. We're not thieves! We're not thieves......!
Little Tom explained to his mother while crying, and his words also revealed how they had starved and struggled to survive all these years.
"Alas, okay! Okay, everyone, let's go home quickly, today is a day of reunion, the young people who went out are back, and our village also has a labor force, as long as everyone believes in me and follows me, our life will get better and better in the future! Okay, let's disperse first!" Seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing, Leo stood up and asked everyone to hurry home and reunite.
I have to say that Leo slowly gained some prestige in the village, and the villagers listened to his words and brought their relatives home one after another, even the middle-aged uncle Porter was dragged home by Aunt Serena's ears.
According to Leo's idea, the village has stored enough meat to survive the winter, so Leo plans to hold a bonfire tonight to celebrate the rebirth of Haruna Village. Unfortunately, the plan did not change quickly, and just in the evening, when everyone was happily preparing for the evening, the Roman infantry, who were hunting in groups outside, brought back terrible news.
At the same time, Leo's mind also came to a hint from the Arena of the Gods: the Arena mission was released.
Objective: Make it through tonight.
Reward: Clan heroes are drawn once.
Task Punishment: None
Advice: Struggle hard! Fight hard! Only in the examination of blood and fire can you survive! Continue to be a qualified-stirring stick!
Arena Mission?Leo subconsciously blinked his eyes a few times, this is the rhythm of the infinite flow of the main god?Are you really playing the game by yourself?Or are you playing me as a game?But it's really good to have no task punishment!
Before Leo could finish rejoicing, he suddenly reacted, your sister! If the mission fails, he won't survive tonight, and naturally he won't need any punishment, just die!
