Chapter 1 Border Village
The Golden Day Empire and the Black Eagle Empire have been hostile to each other for a hundred years. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but after the last battle of Sunset Creek in front of the Black Hawk Forest, both countries suffered heavy losses. With Sunset Creek as the dividing line of the country, an agreement was made that no war would be waged for 20 years.
In a nameless hamlet on the northernmost border of the Golden Empire. During the day, the men who had the strength to go hunting or farming. Only a few women and elderly people sat in the village and chatted and worked.
In the depths of the village, an old woman was lying on a wicker chair, her face a little anxious. He waved to five or six children playing with mud in the distance and shouted, "Little Jinjin, come over to grandma, grandma will tell you a story?"
In the pile of children, a little boy who looked to be only four years old stood up at the sound of the voice. The little boy was dressed in the same burlap costume as the other children. But it can't hide a trace of heroism, and you can see the difference at a glance.
The little boy put down the mud in his hand, waved his hand to the other friends who were playing, and said, "My grandmother is going to tell me a story, so I won't play with you anymore." ”
The other children just glanced at it and ignored it and continued to play. Seeing this, the little boy ignored it and looked at his hands covered with black mud. Unconsciously put his hand on the sackcloth pants and rubbed it, and ran to the old woman briskly.
"Oh, little gold. Look at your hands, don't rub them against your pants next time. How old I am, I don't know grandma, my clothes are hard to wash. The old woman kindly carried the boy onto the wicker chair.
Place it on its lap and take a clean handkerchief out of its pocket. Slowly wipe the child's hands covered with black mud.
The little boy named Xiao Jinjin said in a milky voice, "Grandma, what stories do we talk about in the daytime? Shouldn't we tell them when we go to bed at night? ”
The old woman looked at Xiao Jinjin's little hands that had been wiped clean, and casually stuffed the handkerchief into one pocket and said, "Oh, Xiao Jinjin is still not happy, so grandma will tell a story that has never been told today, okay?"
Holding Xiao Jinjin steady, he leaned on the rattan chair and swayed leisurely: "This was a long, long time ago, there was a castle... ”
The old woman told the story slowly, and her palms glowed with a pale golden light that was imperceptible. Gently patted on Xiao Jinjin's back, Xiao Jinjin, who was still interested before. The next second, she fell asleep groggy, and the old woman picked up the child and walked slowly out of the village.
He shook his head helplessly as he walked, thinking in his heart: "Alas, the spiritual power is getting worse and worse, and there are so many strangers outside the village. I actually realized it now, and it is estimated that someone from the empire has caught up again. Finally, after half a month, something is going to happen again. ”
The little flower girl next door was choosing vegetables and saw an old woman with abnormal behavior holding her child. was walking towards the outside of the village, shouting with confusion and worry: "Grandma Xue, where are you going to take Xiao Jinjin?"
The old woman, who was called Grandma Snow by Little Flower Girl, heard the neighbor's shout. didn't stop, turned his head sideways, and smiled: "I'm idle and bored, take the child out for a walk and come back soon." ”
Seeing Grandma Xue, who was about to leave the village, Little Flower Girl hurriedly put down the farm work in her hand. He ran over and shouted, "This won't work, Grandma Snow." The village chief has a rule that he cannot leave the village casually. ”
The janitor at the entrance of the village, who was originally in a daze, was woken up by the shouting of the little flower girl. Turning his head to look at Grandma Xue, he thought for a moment and said, "How safe is the village." You just came to our village, and you may not have anyone to talk to you yet. Outside our village is the Black Eagle Forest of the Black Eagle Empire, and there are many magical beasts in the forest. From time to time, there will be monsters that get lost and run out of the forest or even attack our village. What if something happens to you, an old man with a child? ”
The little flower girl then ran to the big man and stood side by side, just in front of Grandma Xue, and said, "Why don't you wait for the men to come back from hunting in the evening, and I'll let our man Da Hei go out with you, okay?"
The little flower girl thought about stopping the old woman first, and waited until the young people in the village came back.
Grandma Xue looked embarrassed, and her eyes looked straight at the little flower and the janitor who was blocking in front of her. The golden light in his eyes revealed the spell and blurted out.
Xiaohua, who was still planning to stop just now, had a dull look in her eyes. Halfway to his busy farm work, he seemed to have forgotten everything that had just happened.
The big man turned his gaze to the outside of the village and continued to be in a daze.
With a sigh, Grandma Xue hugged Xiao Jinjin and looked around. I made sure I didn't look at the villagers again.
Continue to walk towards the entrance of the village, but you still have time to step out of the village.
In front of him, more than a dozen imperial soldiers in silver-white armor ran towards Grandma Xue's village.
Seeing that she couldn't get out, Grandma Xue took a few steps back steadily. He turned around and walked back to the village.
The big man guarding the entrance of the village was awakened again by the sound of neat footsteps and the collision of armor.
I trembled when I looked at the battle in front of me. Although Dahan also understood that he was a soldier of his own empire in front of him, he didn't know the other party's intentions.
He didn't dare to ask out loud, for fear that the soldiers would look at him unpleasantly. That's just death, and there's no place to reason.
I could only shrink to the side, pretending that I didn't see anything. Let the soldiers run into the village and block the entrance to the village in an orderly manner.
Grandma Snow glanced at the thin village. Thinking that if he hid back, he might harm the other villagers. After a while, he was not ready to go to the village to hide. Standing still and waiting for the arrival of the soldiers.
At this time, some chatting villagers also saw the scene in front of them from a distance. None of them exclaimed, reminding each other of the villagers around them. Silently packed up his things, ran back to his house and closed the door.
The children, who were still playing in the mud before, were stuffed into the nearest village's house by a swarm.
The soldiers of the Empire looked closely at thirteen of them, all dressed in silver-white armor. Although the men leading the team are both silver-white armor, their shoulder armor is slightly different.
It's sparkling and dazzling.
Thirteen soldiers all looked at the village, waiting for the captain's order to enter the village and search it. When they saw the old woman, they were stunned, and then they looked at it. In the middle of the sound, one of the soldiers drew the long sword at his waist and shouted, "It's her, just like in the portrait, still holding the child." ”
Hearing that, the other soldiers hurriedly pulled out the long sword at their waists.
The captain of the soldier shouted sternly, "Are you Bu Xuexuan?"
Grandma Xue stood in place with Xiao Jin Jin in her arms and responded, "The old woman is Bu Xuexuan. ”
