In the sky, the moon was quietly draped in a veil of black clouds, and a faint red light on the eastern horizon was trying to break out of the ground, and at this time little Peter and his party had already turned over and galloped out of the city.

Eva and Little Peter rode together on the front horse, and every now and then Eva would discern the direction and move on. As for little Peter, he was sitting stiffly on his horse, not daring to move, and Eva in his arms made him feel uncomfortable, and he always felt indescribably awkward, which made him feel irritable.

Gradually, he found that the road was getting narrower and more remote, but he saw more and more pedestrians. Eva said without looking back as if she knew what he was thinking: "The locals know such a road, after all, they are always used to being invaded by barbarians, and when the news of the barbarians coming appears, everyone will take this road to the port and take a boat to either go to the opposite continent, or go to the nearby province of Irish in the Holy Empire for refuge." ”

Uncle William, who was a little distance behind him, laughed when he heard this: "After all, it is the cursed land of Glamorgan, and the whole continent knows about it. ”

Little Peter carefully recalled in his mind, and only then did he vaguely remember that he had seen a description of the county of Glamorgan in a book called "The Occult of the Continent". I couldn't help but state it again: "Glamorgan, too far from heaven, too close to Wales." ”

Eva looked up at the sky, and said with a solemn and worried face: "I think we need to speed up, there are too many people fleeing this time, Earl Glamorgan will definitely not sit idly by, he will definitely send someone to chase after him." ”

Little Peter was taken aback and said, "This barbarian is coming, and the Earl still has the leisure to care about the refugees? ”

The old man laughed, and after laughing, he panted violently and said, "Yes, haha, I first heard that the Earl of Glamorgan was a good man." Oh, I'm laughing to death, silly boy, this earl is the third generation, you know? His grandfather and father are both Earl of Glamorgan, do you think it is based on some great achievements or wisdom? Let me tell you, the whole continent knows that their family can be three generations of earls because their family is stupider than pigs. ”

As the group rode their horses and galloped, there was a sudden burst of shouts and scolding behind them. Little Peter was just about to turn his head to take a look, when he heard Uncle William behind him shouting, "Rush forward, don't stop." ”

He hurriedly swung the reins of his horse hard, and rushed forward with a clamp between his legs. Not long after running, the horses under the crotch gradually began to lose their strength and foam at the mouth. "It's a horse pulling a cart, it's not a good horse that doesn't run fast enough. Little Peter thought to himself, and then looked back, and saw that about ten horsemen were getting closer and closer to them.

Eva's little face turned pale and she bit her lip tightly and didn't care about wiping the sweat on her head, looked at the surrounding terrain and said loudly: "We should go into the forest next to us, these people are just trying to catch enough people to go back to the earl to ask for a reward, and they shouldn't have deliberately followed us." ”

The old man didn't have to think much about it, so he and William rushed to the forest first, and little Peter hurriedly followed. The pursuers behind him hesitated, did not waste time, but rushed straight over.

As soon as I entered the forest, the sunlight in the sky dimmed, and a cold and damp breath came to my face. Walking in the forest, it is better to ride a horse than to walk fast, and they dismount one after another.

Eva hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man, while Uncle William took out the kettle from his bag and carefully fed the old man a few bites.

Little Peter looked around, the forest was dark and damp, and the ancient trees were towering. The leafy canopy of trees overhead forms a large net that covers the sky and the sun, and the sunlight can only shine through the small mesh.

The group walked cautiously through the forest, and Uncle William looked around vigilantly with his horse in one hand and his sword in the other. Eva walked in the middle with the old man in her arms, and little Peter led the other horse at the back.

Uncle William led everyone slowly through the forest with his impression. Little Peter looked at the strange environment left and right, and only felt an eerie aura lingering around him. After walking for a long time, Uncle William said, "Take a break." ”

The old man, with Eva's help, sat down on the mat that little Peter had hurriedly laid on the ground, panting.

"Uncle William, are we going around in circles? I always think we've been to this place before. Little Peter walked up to William and said to the little god.

William smiled and said with a soothing expression, "Many people will feel this way when they enter the forest. In fact, most of them are scaring themselves, as long as you stick to the right direction, no matter how the external environment changes, you can always go out. ”

The wind blew, and the leaves made a "rustling" sound, and little Peter only felt a cold neck and numbness, and hurriedly asked, "Then Uncle William, are we on the right path?"

William patted him on the shoulder, so hard that little Peter had to be half shorter, and cried out in pain with cracked teeth. Seeing Little Peter's painful appearance, William laughed, and then William said, "Don't worry, it won't be wrong." ”

By the time the group finally emerged from the forest, the sun was already high in the middle of the turquoise sky. Leaving the dark forest, little Peter immediately felt his strength return to his body, dispelling the cold and gloomy feeling, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

William looked up at the sun in the sky, and then discerned the direction around him, then leaned on the ground with his ears sideways and listened carefully, then stood up and said, "I think we need to speed up, there is no cavalry ahead and it is a good time for us to hurry." The speed is increasing, or we don't think we will be able to reach the port after dark. ”

The four of them split into two horses and hurried in the direction of the harbor, while carefully avoiding the search of cavalry from the county. During this period, the old man rested for a long time due to physical reasons, and just as the sun was slowly setting and the black gradually covered the earth, the outline of the port faintly appeared in front of him.

The four of them quickened their pace, and finally arrived at the harbor before it was completely dark. I saw the dilapidated harbor fenced with wood, and at this moment it was black and overwhelming, and a crowd gathered. Loud voices mingle so loudly that people have to shout at each other to speak.

William opened the way ahead, pulling the refugees in front of him with his hands, and finally they made their way through the crowd and into the harbor.

I saw the sea reflecting the last remnants of the sunset, like a red canvas undulating and swaying from time to time.

The sea breeze blew the hair on little Peter's face, and he squinted at the scene before him, then turned his head to see the surprised Eva and William with a wry smile on his face. I couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, where is the boat?"
