Selena sat on a small stool in front of the fireplace, holding her chin with one hand, and smiling at the flames in the fireplace.

This made Xigena under the bed feel extremely surprised, she quietly lifted the sheets, poked her head out and looked into the room, there were no outsiders in the room, it seemed that the danger had not been lifted, Selena when she was angry, she usually did not beat herself when outsiders were present, but when there was no one, it still depended on Selena's mood.

It seems that Selena is in a good mood right now, but Signa still doesn't dare to take the risk.

She lowered her head and touched her hungry belly, thinking of the scene she had seen at noon behind the wheat straw stacks in the barnyard.

Signa sighed softly, just endure it a little longer.

Just as Signa was thinking, a plate was pushed in from outside the bed, and there was a quarter of baked wheat cakes on the plate, which Selena had baked the day before yesterday, and now she only needed to take it out and bake it on the fire pit to become urging, and there was a small piece of cassava and a handful of chickpeas on the plate, and when Signa saw the food on the plate, she quickly came to the edge of the plate like a mouse and sniffed it, and leaned down under the bed to eat it.

These chickpeas are planted on the stalks of the wheat field, as long as the chickpeas are harvested before the wheat is harvested, and few people in the village of Vol grow chickpeas, not because they don't like to eat them, but because they simply don't know how to grow them.

Selena sat on the wooden table, with a plate in front of her that was the same as Xigna, but there was only a small piece of wheat cake on the plate, she picked up the burnt cassava and took a bite, and there was immediately a crisp numbness in her mouth, but this is not because the tapioca has a strong taste, but this thing itself has a little bit of toxicity, except for the big tongue when you talk after too much, it does not affect anything.

Although the stone house was still empty, Selena felt that her whole heart was filled, and she had something to rely on in her future life, and she no longer had to worry about the clerk in charge of population statistics suddenly breaking in that day and forcibly taking herself to another strange place, where there was Xigna and more than an acre of wheat fields, and this was her home.

It's nothing if life is a little harder, and it will get better gradually.

In the past year, around the harvest festival, after harvesting the wheat fields, the villagers would go into the mountains and forests to pick up all kinds of mountain goods for winter storage, no matter how much food they stored, they were worried that there would not be enough food to eat, and they would not be able to survive the cold winter.

And now, the panic of autumn has diluted a lot, and the strong laborers of the village have dug up a large amount of sulfur mines, which, according to the old village chief, can be sold for a lot of money, and the villagers who mine can get a silver coin a day, and this half a month's wages are enough for her and Signa to eat for four months if they go to the city of Highlandsa to exchange for fine wheat flour.

Although she is a Surdak woman, Dai Lina doesn't want to take any of his copper plates for nothing, she wants to discuss with the old village chief after the harvest festival, and let her also go to the sulfur mine in Pubao Mountain to mine, no matter what, there is also a person in charge of cooking in the mining area!

As long as you can do it for two weeks, you don't have to worry about winter storage.

When Selena looked in the mirror, she found that there was a petal-like red mark on her chest, and her face was slightly red, and she thought with some distress that she could hide this red mark when she went out, otherwise she would be seen by the group of women in the village who had sharp teeth and mouths, but had no bad intentions, and she didn't know what it would be.

In the afternoon, when the sun was no longer so hot, Selena returned to the grain field, but did not see Surdak again, and heard from the old people who worked on the grain field that Surdak had left the village of Wall in a hurry at noon, as if something was in a hurry to leave.

Selena leaned her hand on the wheat stack, and for a moment she was a little troubled.

…………

A young man from Diego village ran to the village of Wo and brought a message to Surdak from the old village chief, saying that someone had returned the traces of a bandit group in the Grand Canyon next to Diego Village, and that the people of their village had hunted wild goats in the canyon, and they skinned and fleshed them by the river in the center of the canyon, and after withdrawing, they left behind a few tattered goatskins, which were only dried by the wind with fascia on them, and the inside of the sheepskin was still soft.

The chiefs of the surrounding natural villages happened to be holding a 'patrol guard council' in Diego Village to discuss how many people should be sent to each village to patrol.

The whereabouts of the bandit gang were immediately put on the meeting of the village chiefs, and the village chiefs of each village immediately sent a letter to the village, and began to gather men to prepare to drive the gang of robbers out of the Grand Canyon.

It was for this reason that the village of Diego sent a message to the villages, and Surdak heard the young people of the village of Diego and immediately decided to rush to the village.

In recent days, in order to deal with emergencies, he usually wears leather armor on his body during the day, and at this time he does not need to wear cumbersome monster leather armor, the Roman sword is hung around his waist, and the iris shield is stored in the magic waist bag, as long as he goes to the grain field to lead his horse out, he can leave immediately.

There was no Selena in the valley field, Surdak looked at Selena's stone house from a distance, and wanted to say something to Selena, but when he thought of Signa's cute eyes looking at him, Surdak shivered, as if he was standing in the cold wind only wearing boxer shorts.

Surdak decided not to say goodbye!

He led the horse to the entrance of the village, and after the young men of Diego village had shown the way, he galloped along a mountain road with only faint traces to the village of Diego.

The village of Diego is completely different from the village of Wall, which is located on the upper part of the mountain of Paglos, and there is no mountain spring here, so the whole village does not look green, all the houses are made of limestone, and the roofs are covered with triangular wooden frames and thatch, but the village of Diego looks much larger than the village of Wall, with about 200 households in the whole village, which is three times the number of the village of Wall.

After walking into Diego Village, I found ...... Although the village of Diego is deserted, the village occupies the entrance to the Grand Canyon, which has a river channel and crops on the slopes on both sides of the canyon, and the canyon does not have enough sunshine hours, so the wheat fields here still look lush.

Surdak rode his horse and stopped beside the canyon, looking down on the entire canyon.

"The wheat fields in our village are different from those in other villages, and if you want to harvest the wheat, you have to wait at least another 20 days."

A middle-aged man came out of the mill not far away, looked at Surdak twice, saluted him, and introduced.

Then the middle-aged man asked, "Is this knight also here to track down the bandits?" ”

Surdak nodded.
