Eva rode her horse and kept running downstream. After turning a corner, a village came and fell in front of me.

She was frightened, thinking about the pros and cons, but did not slow down, let alone stagnate, and came to the entrance of the village after a while. The people of the village are packing up their things in front of their houses and preparing to make some dinner to treat themselves. Seeing Eva rushing over, they were all taken aback, and hurriedly dodged again, muttering something bold in their timid mouths, and scolding directly.

Eva turned a deaf ear and just rushed forward, disappearing from the villagers' sight and leaving the village in an instant.

She rushed out of the village without hesitation, and when the villagers could not see her, she quickly jumped off her horse, rolled on the ground a few times, and quietly slipped back into the village to hide. But the two horses galloped away without looking back, and disappeared.

Eva carefully moved behind the trees and in the shadows of the house, and at the slightest abrupt noise, she would subconsciously tense her body and hide like a frightened rabbit.

The villagers gathered together to discuss and curse the scene just now, Eva's face couldn't help but blush slightly, and soon she pursed the corners of her lips again, no longer thinking about those troublesome things. Carefully hid in a large water tank at the back of a wooden house.

Thankfully, there wasn't any water in the tank, otherwise the cold night would have frozen her enough. Unfortunately, however, there is a lot of food in the tank that emits an unknown smell and smells disgusting. Eva frowned, having grown up in the fields since she was a child, she naturally knew that these things were the food that the villagers stored for the winter. She carefully crouched to the side and quietly closed the lid of the water tank.

The whole vision suddenly darkened, and she couldn't help but curl up and hug herself tightly with her two arms.

Just as she was thinking about waiting for the villagers to come home and sneak out after they had finished dinner and gone to bed to find Little Peter, she heard a panic from the villagers, and then there was silence. She hurriedly tried to listen, and could only faintly hear a voice asking, "Have you seen anyone running away?" After a while, I don't know what the villagers said, anyway, the sound of horses' hooves immediately sounded, very close and clear, and then became far away and faint.

Eva breathed a sigh of relief, but she immediately thought of where the two horses had gone, and if they had stopped on the side of the road, the pursuers would have returned here to search for the Seeker.

She didn't dare to stay too long, and when she felt that there was no movement outside, she quickly crawled out of the tank and secretly ran to a place where a horse was tethered. She looked at it first, then bit her lip, no longer hesitated, cut the rope with a dagger, and then secretly rode on a horse to find little Peter and them.

One of the villagers heard the horse's hooves, opened the door and walked out, and then saw Eva's back and shouted, "Damn it, my horse." Bastard, you can't do that. ”

Eva couldn't bear it, but she could only silently say sorry and quickly left the place.

"Frederick William. What does that mean?" asked the old man curiously.

The old man touched his chin with a smile and said with emotion: "Of course, it means that I have high hopes for him." William didn't disappoint me either. He began to join the army at the age of eighteen, and he has been fighting for more than 20 years. ”

Little Peter was taken aback and said, "What kind of war has been going on for so long!" He tried to recall in his mind whether there was any description of this in the books he had seen, but unfortunately he couldn't find it. However, he seems to have seen the name of Frederick William in the History of the Krent Empire. He thought hard about it, and finally remembered it.

Little Peter couldn't help but say aloud, "Frederick William." God, isn't that the god of war of the Krent Empire recorded in the history books, and his Ludwig Legion has the best record on the mainland. This is Uncle William!"

The old man laughed and did not answer the question. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He rubbed his trembling hands against Little Peter's cheeks and said softly, "Your Uncle William is very powerful, don't worry." With that, he exerted all his strength on his legs, tried to stop the downward trend, and straightened his sitting position.

Little Peter hurriedly and carefully helped him to prevent him from lying on the ground. The old man breathed a sigh of relief, patted his leg and said, "Your Uncle William is amazing. Really, I saw so many junjie back then, and no one could catch up with him. Slowly, his talent was revealed, and he kept winning, and he kept winning, and he didn't stop winning. The whole empire cheered for him, how glorious, confident, and dashing he was back then, like a bad old man now. The old man laughed as he spoke.

Little Peter tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "No, I think Uncle William looks good too." ”

The old man looked at him meaningfully for a long time before he sighed: "You don't understand, once people reach that position, they will never forget that glorious experience." They will struggle to the death just to keep themselves prosperous for the rest of their lives. ”

Little Peter blinked and listened, dazed, not knowing what to say. He could only turn his head and look around and look at the sky. I found that the whole sky had obviously darkened, the sunset had already fallen into the horizon, and there were insects and birds chirping all around, only the sound of the wind blowing the grass. He shrunk his neck and sniffled, his hands clenched and parted uneasily in his lower abdomen. After a while, he calmed down, and couldn't help but open his mouth and say, "Why hasn't Eva come back yet?" The voice was so hoarse and so strange that he was stunned.

The old man looked at him and then at the sky, he frowned and closed his mouth in silence.

Eva carefully rode back the way she came. At last at sunset came to the place where Peter and the others had crossed the river, and she dismounted from her horse and led her horse in one hand as she moved forward in the bone-chilling water.

She gritted her teeth hard and kept saying in her heart, "You can do it, hold on." Consider that Peter is still waiting for you in front of you. This little bit of suffering is nothing. She moved forward step by step, and as soon as the horse entered the water, she was startled by the cold water, and she jumped in the water again and again, refusing to go forward.

Eva struggled to pull and find herself being dragged back to the shore by the horse. Annoyed, she threw her bag behind her, pulled the reins with both hands, bent down violently, and her whole body was almost at a ninety-degree angle.

She used all her strength to compete with the horse in the river. Almost after she took two steps, she was dragged back by the horse, and she walked to the middle of the river with such difficulty.

The horse didn't know if it knew that it was useless no matter how much it struggled, or if it found that there was nothing to be afraid of in this water, but it was honestly not tossing around at this time. Eva breathed a sigh of relief, slowly straightened her stiff waist a little, and reached out to tap slowly. Her legs were so cold that she lost consciousness, and she didn't dare to move slowly in the river.

Eva strode to the other side, but the horse was now quiet and did not go mad any more, and in a few moments she climbed up from the river to the shore.

Little Peter was talking to the old man when he suddenly heard the sound of running water and the sound of horses. He was taken aback and quickly closed his mouth and listened to something. The old man smiled slightly when he saw his performance, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, signaling not to be so nervous. Then he stood up trembling in Peter's incomprehensible gaze. He looked in the direction where the sound was coming from, but the grass was too dense to obscure his view.

The old man was not in a hurry, and signaled to little Peter that Shao'an was not restless and waited quietly.

Eva sat on the shore and rubbed her legs vigorously to take off her boots and pour out the water inside, and she kept rubbing her hands until she felt the sensation in her feet again. She looked around her and thought about it. Stood up, put on his boots, and led the horse in the direction he had identified.

After walking a few steps, Eva suddenly thought carefully about the explanation at the time of separation, and then she smiled slightly and shouted, "Peter, are you right here?" ”

The old man and little Peter looked at each other and smiled when they heard Eva's voice and walked out.
