――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Alleyne walked between the village lanes, full of people, the ground full of people, the wreckage of broken arms everywhere, and the cruelty of the war was what caused these flat-headed people.

Amber sunlight casts from under the white clouds, and this land that has just experienced the invasion of war is full of fresh blood, and it has become particularly bloody and enchanting.

Expressionless, Alleyn kept shuttling between the corpses, hoping to see one or two lives still struggling tenaciously.

However, people are sometimes so strange, the more cruel and painful they are, the stronger the desire to survive.

He could even feel a life-beating call, right there, quietly waiting for him.

A thick, strong, knobby hand was grasping him softly at this time. "Save ....... Help me!"

Alleyne carefully moved the creature pressed against him out of the way, and saw the face of a young man crawling all over the frail and white.

"I'm sorry. Alleyne leaned down, looked at his injuries and shook his head. "Your stomach has been torn open, and I can't let you live anymore. ”

Hearing this, the young man did not feel surprised or broken, he just smiled shallowly, revealing a faint weakness and reluctance.

"Do you have any other wishes? If so, I am willing to serve you and help you fulfill your wishes. Arenn sighed, he could not do much, but it was also a beautiful thing to fulfill the wishes of a dying man.

"That'........ There......." The young man reluctantly pointed to a small mud house on his right, stained with blood. "There....... At...... In the clay jar...... "The breath of the young man is intermittent, and it seems that his life is not long."

Alleyne looked where he was pointing, and sure enough, he saw a dark brown clay jar with a round wooden lid on it.

He walked over and uncovered the clay pot, only to see a black shadow curled up at the bottom of the clay pot, and the instinct of the mercenary over the years made him subconsciously tense the muscles of his whole body, and his fingertips caught the hilt of the sword at his waist.

However, he suddenly relented, and through the dim light shining in from outside the door, he suddenly saw clearly that the small figure under the clay pot turned out to be a sleeping little girl.

The little girl was about eight or nine years old, with a lovely ring-shaped braid, loose and pure golden hair.

The little girl's face was white, her fleshy round face was very pleasing, there was a small tear mole at the lower end of her left eye, and her little white hands were resting on her little head, leaning crookedly against the clay pot, whistling in the fine wind.

Ellen was very happy to see the moment, such a cute little guy, who doesn't like it?

However, when I suddenly thought that such a child would suffer from war and the misery of eternal separation of relatives, I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart, after all, she was only an eight or nine-year-old child.

"Please....... Please be sure to ........ Protect her........ Please!" The young man's weak words floated from behind, and Alleyne frowned as she looked at the little girl in the clay jar.

It's really not that he doesn't want to take this child with him, it's just that the mercenaries live a day of licking blood with knives, and they are not safer than these different people.

Maybe teammates who are still drinking and laughing together today won't know where their heads will roll tomorrow. Even he himself has no guarantee that he will survive to the end.

"I'm ......," Alleyn paused. "I can't promise anything, but as long as she's in my team for a day, I'll fight to keep her safe!"

The corners of the young man's mouth curled with difficulty. "That's enough........" His voice slowly lowered as if it had come from a long time away, and gradually, the blur faded.

Alleyne stared at his body for a long time before turning around, hesitated for a moment, and decided to reach out and pick her up.

Unexpectedly, the little girl was very alert, as soon as his hand touched her shoulder, she immediately opened her eyes, shrank her body into the tank, and looked at the stranger like an alert fawn.

Alleyne smiled reluctantly, to be honest, he wasn't good at dealing with children. "Uncle, I'm a good person!" said the sentence stubbornly.

The vigilance in the little girl's eyes did not lessen, but became more and more intense.

"How can I make you believe it? Actually, uncle, I'm a good friend of your brother!"

Alleyne tried to coax the little girl into trusting as much as he could, but only then did he realize how pale and fragile his words were.

"Brother...... Friend......... I....... I haven't seen .......," the little girl said crisply, with a kind of fear and cowardice in her words.

Seeing that the little girl didn't trust him at all, Alleyne suddenly frowned, and coaxed her softly: "I know your brother, isn't it, a tall, big, white and handsome young man?"

The little girl tilted her head to look at him, and thought for a while: "Well, you know my brother! Uncle, it turns out that you are a good person, and my brother asked me to hide here........ Don't let the bad guys find me......"

Alleyne exhaled and touched the beads of sweat that didn't exist on her head, an eight-year-old girl still lied to ...... Oh no, I can't coax me, I've been a fool for so many years?

Not far away, Mo Mocha, who was tugging at the reins, wiped his eyes in disbelief, but the scene in front of him had not yet receded.

Strangely, he poked Manid to the side. "Hey, do you see there's a girl next to the boss?" asked Mo Cha loudly.

Manid also wiped his eyes, and said a little confused: "Strange, why did the boss bring a little girl over?"

So Manid also stabbed Wiggins, who was sitting on a tree stump and chopping meat in large pieces. "Old Wei," he pointed ahead. "Look, is the boss bringing a girl over?"

Wiggins glanced nonchalantly and slapped his thigh. "Really, how did the boss bring a female doll?"

Alleyne led Aisha slowly towards Manid and them, his small hand in his hand that seemed unnatural. Also, so many men with five big and three thick appeared at once, and the little girl was naturally afraid.

However, before he and the girl could get up to them, Mocha suddenly asked, "Boss, your girl?"

Alleyne was walking back gracefully, and was about to tell them how their boss had protected the little girl, and introduce her by the way.

When he heard Mo Cha's words, he didn't have time to react, so he nodded first. "Well, yes, she's your boss and my ........... It's a! This is the little kid I was entrusted with from a young man. ”

The seriousness on Mo Cha's face did not lessen. "In other words, it's not the boss of your daughter!"

Alleyne gave him a blank look. "Nonsense, of course not, Aisha, let's say hello to everyone!" he reluctantly turned around and said to Aisha, who was tugging at the corner of his coat and hiding behind him.

"Is this girl's name Aisha?hey, boss, she's really not your girl?"

"Get out. Alleyne spat out the word viciously between his teeth, pointing to the farmer's stable with his right hand. So, Mo Cha obediently rolled into the stable.

"Very well, that should be a good explanation. Alleyne folded his hands around his chest and nodded happily. "Here's the thing........"

"Oh, then, Boss, where are you going to settle this little girl, after all, it's not safe for her to follow us. After listening to Ellen's account, Manid calmly asked questions.

Ellen replied disapprerovingly, "Otherwise, I'll leave it to Xiao Yi of Chanda!" anyway, she is also my acquaintance, so don't worry about handing it over to her!" He felt the little hand behind him seem to grip tighter.

As for their accommodation, Manid continued to dutifully report: "I have already agreed with the villagers that they don't mind letting us stay for one night, of course, at no cost. ”

"Also," Manid frowned. "Just now, the surviving people in the village were paid for their help. He pointed to the pile of sweet potatoes at his feet.

Manid's face showed sympathy and unbearability. Of course, Alleyne understood what he was thinking, and immediately sighed and said, "The reward should be sent to the villagers, now that so many people have died in the village, their situation is also very difficult." A lot of the farmland was damaged by the cavalry during the battle, and if nothing else, they will have a hard time this winter, and if they give us the only food they have left, what will they do?"

Alleyne waved his hand, and Manid said he understood, and went to return the loot.

Alleyne looked at Manid's departing back and frowned without a trace.

Although Manid is a shrewd and capable honest businessman, he is too soft-hearted, and his own people are not in much trouble, if he encounters the enemy's use of people to threaten him, I am afraid, he will not be able to give up his heart.
