216. The Covenant War
Surdak was woken up by the noise of young people outside the stone house, and he sat up from his bed, feeling a little groggy, and the shabby room was filled with the smell of cassava.
Old Sheila sat on the stump of the doorway with little Peter in her arms, and listened to the two young men talking.
"Aunt Sheila, go and wake up Surdak, we have something to discuss with him." A young man in a lamb's skin shoulder stood in the courtyard with a hippie smile on his shoulders and said to old Sheila.
Old Sheila was silent.
Little Peter, who was hiding in her arms, tilted his head and said weakly to the two young men, "Daddy is still sleeping......"
Old Sheila snorted and asked, "What can you two do with him?" ”
Another young man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to old Sheila with a smile: "We really have a serious business looking for him!" ”
The young man in sheepskin next to him followed up and said, "That's right, we just want to ask him for a little favor...... It's a village thing. ”
“…… He might have to go out today. Old Sheila replied nonchalantly.
The two young men looked surprised and asked, "Where is he going?" Didn't you just come back? ”
"The city of Hylanza." Sheila Sr. said.
The faces of the two young men fell suddenly, and they said with some urgency: "Why are you going to Hailansa City at this time?" Can you go back another day, someone from Guta Village has found a knight today, and made an appointment with us to meet at the Beigou Ranch, if Surdak is no longer there, we will be in big trouble......"
At this time, Surdak pushed open the door of the inner room, walked out and said loudly, "What the hell is going on?" I'll go with you...... You lead the way, I'll lead the horses!" ”
When the two young men saw Surdak come out of the house, they agreed to the matter without asking the reason, and were overjoyed.
They were afraid that old Sheila would stop her, and without waiting for old Sheila to say anything, they said to Surdak that we meet at the entrance of the village, turned around and slipped out of the yard like loach fish.
The young man in sheepskin then emerged from the wall and added to Surdak: "Little Dak, bring your long sword with you!" ”
After saying that, he ran away with a snort.
The horse was tied to a stone mill in the yard, and in addition to a bucket of clean water, there was a pile of cut grass on the ground, and the Gubolai horse was eating the fodder with his head down.
Still not seeing Rita and Natasha, Surdak turned over and got on his horse, and then said to old Sheila sincerely, "I'll leave ...... after dealing with this matter."
“……”
Old Sheila grabbed little Peter, who was struggling, and the grandfather and grandson stood at the door of the stone house, watching Surdak ride away without saying a word.
"Grandma, don't drive Dad away, okay......"
Little Peter snuggled into old Sheila's arms and begged quietly.
……
The two young people who came to Surdak were Hood, a childhood friend who had a relationship with Surdak yesterday, and Tony was named Tony in sheepskin, and Tony was a distant relative of Surdak and was Surdak's cousin.
Hood and Tony waited anxiously at the entrance of the village, and when they saw Surdak coming on horseback, they excitedly led the way.
The two of them walked in a hurry, and as they went, they told Surdak what had happened.
The root of all these contradictions is due to the grassland in the Beigou mountain pass.
Deep in the mountains at the southern end of the Paglos Mountains is actually a large barren land, and the city of Highlanza is located on the edge of this barren land.
The village is actually a mountain village in the middle of nowhere, and the village is located in a mountain col, because there is a small stream in this mountain col, which brings some life to this mountain col, but there is not much land around the col that can be cultivated for the villagers.
The villagers found a ravine five kilometers north of the village, where there was no river, but every year when the rainy season came, after the first rain, the lowest-lying part of the col would gather some rainwater, thus forming a small and narrow pond.
Trees cannot grow around this small pond, but there is a kind of weed that the locals call thirsty immortality, and during the normal dry season, the weeds here will turn yellow, and once the rainy season comes, these weeds will be like dead trees in spring, and then when the rain is sufficient, they will grow wildly, and the whole ravine will become a sea of green.
It is called Beigou by the villagers of Wall, because this is a natural pasture, some yellow sheep raised in Wall Village, they are stocked in this ravine in summer, and when it comes to autumn, the villagers have to harvest a large amount of pasture grass in the ravine, and then drive the fat yellow sheep back to the village, survive a winter in the village, wait until the first rain in summer comes, and then drive the yellow sheep out, and so on, it is also a fixed income in the village.
The villagers only need to keep the yellow sheep within a certain number, so the grazing life is not bad.
However, later, Guta Village, which lived farther away, also discovered the Beigou grassland, and they also wanted to drive their sheep to Beigou to graze, so that the pasture grass in Beigou was obviously not enough for the two groups of sheep, so there were many group fights between the two villages, but the population of Guta Village was more than that of Wall Village, so this kind of brawl has always been the advantage of Guta Village. So much so that Vol Village had to cede half of the use of Beigou Grassland to Guta Village.
Even so, the two villages have to quarrel every year over the boundary line drawn by the Beigou grassland.
However, things have changed a little this year, the reason is that a knight was inexplicably born in Wall Village, and the villagers of Guta who heard the news have been almost on pins and needles for the past two days, and have been worried that the knights of Wall Village will ask Guta Village to return the entire Beigou grassland.
And Surdak has been kept in the dark and has no idea about these things.
However, Guta Village has also produced two knight retinues in recent years, so the village chief mobilized the whole village to prepare a generous gift, and through the knight retinue in the village, he gave a generous gift to the knights they followed, and asked him to come forward to negotiate with Vol Village about the ownership of Beigou Grassland.
And that knight of Chadopdo is also like a fire, and after receiving a big gift, he decisively agreed to meet the Surdak knight of Wall Village for a while.
Since the Surdak Knight was a new knight, the Chadopdo Knight did not think that he would be too strong, so Chadopdo decided to ask Surdak to fight for points on the northern slope grasslands.
The village chief of Vol Village also received the news early this morning.
Moreover, when the messenger from Guta Village arrived, the knights of Chadopdo had already gone to the meadows on the northern slopes, waiting for a duel with the Knight of Surdak on the meadows.
When Surdak heard Hood say this, he was also a little speechless, and he didn't expect that he could lie down by hiding at home.
And the cold reception at home in the past two days also made Surdak hold back the fire and have nowhere to vent, and at this time, when he saw that someone actually asked him to fight, he agreed without thinking about it.
If you want to fight, then you should fight......
