At night, the moonlight sprinkled on the green wheat fields, on the pond stalks at the edge of the fields, on the rooftops of the whole wall village, and on the sparkling streams.

The wheat fields on summer nights are filled with a pleasant symphony of frogs, cicadas, and owls......

Old Sheila was on crutches, and she stepped on the ridge and walked very slowly.

She refused Surdak's support and walked forward silently, neither of them speaking, and the atmosphere was a little dull.

Surdak followed behind old Sheila, who was even a little worried that she had accidentally fallen on a stalk in the wheat field, and that it was Rita's wedding night, and he didn't want anything to happen.

But she couldn't persuade old Sheila...... She could only be allowed to go downstream along the ridge of the field by the stream.

The rainy season has ushered in the village of Wall, and the narrow road on the ridge is not easy to walk at all, although the old Sheila is a little faltering, but it is very steady.

Surdak could still remember the worried look in Rita and Natasha's eyes when she walked out of the villa gate, she was too old, and no matter where she went, it was a little uneasy.

Surdak felt that he should use the Holy Light Technique to help Old Sheila condition her body again, but she only came back almost once every two months, and this kind of conditioning would not have much effect at all.

Looking from her back, her body was already thin and fat, and even a little hunchbacked, and she lay by the fireplace every day, and you could see the kind of attachment to little Peter in her eyes.

By the moonlight, the ridge is not too difficult to walk, but you need to be careful not to slip into the ditch.

Standing in the wheat field on this side, you can still hear the beautiful music coming from the central square of Wall Village.

There is even a smell of barbecue wafting in the wind, which is a little different today, even if people from other villages are brave enough to run to the village center square to dance and eat and drink at the same time, no one will stop them, but this kind of good thing is only for tonight.

Old Sheila stopped at the top of a wheat field by the stream, this is a little wheat field, it is estimated that the area is only less than 100 square meters, the wheat grows well, the wheat in the wheat field is almost waist high, even at night, it is a green place.

These fields are not planted with winter wheat, and the harvest time is around the harvest festival.

Old Sheila sat beside a mound of grass growing on it, and she plucked a few weeds from the mound with her dry hands and became out of breath.

Then she gave up the idea of pulling the weeds, and put her hand on the plank in front of the mound that stood among the weeds.

There was a faint sadness in her cloudy eyes.

There was nothing written on the board, and old Sheila played with her hands the grass on the mound, sighed and said: "They are all buried here, and I won't live long, and when I die, bury me here, and I want to lie down with them, is it okay?" ”

"Okay." Surdak said briefly.

Old Sheila, in the moonlight, raised her cloudy eyes and asked him, "Dark, you'll take care of Natasha, Little Peter, and Rita, right?" ”

"I will!" Surdak nodded.

Old Sheila lowered her eyelids, nodded slightly, and said:

"I'll take this secret to the grave, and I'm sure Natasha and Rita won't tell it either."

"You can live the life you want with peace of mind."

"If you can, be nice to Natasha, and help me watch Peter, he adores you now."

"But I don't want him to be a hero, if I have a choice, I want his life to be a little more plain, and find a girl who loves him......"

When old Sheila finished speaking, her eyes fell on the mound of dirt and did not leave.

Surdak hesitated for a moment before he said:

"If you think that sword initiation will bring danger to his later life, I can let him try magic enlightenment, but magic is a very talented."

Old Sheila shook her head and only said, "Whatever he wants, now you are a big hero in his mind, and you don't know how hard he practices his sword every day." ”

Surdak nodded in agreement: "Okay." ”

Old Sheila stood up tremblingly on crutches, and said to Surdak: "I'm tired, help me back." ”

This may be the first time that old Sheila has taken the initiative to ask Surdak to help him, and when she heard old Sheila say this, Surdak suddenly felt a lot more relaxed......

Helping old Sheila back to the villa, Charlie and Luke were already waiting at the door.

Surdak asked Natasha to help Sheila Sr. to rest, and he led Charlie and Luke into a meeting room.

The three of them talked for a long time before Charlie and Luke left the villa......

Natasha sat at the dresser in the bedroom, wearing a thin pajamas, staring blankly at herself in the mirror, the face seemed to be more delicate than when she was twenty years old, she reached out and touched her cheeks, and then looked at her hands, the cracks on her hands were gone, the calluses had quietly disappeared, and now she was out of breath even if she carried a few buckets of water.

Her fingers ran along the bridge of her straight nose, across her plump lips, and over her pointed chin.

Surdak came from behind, he was wearing a comfortable pajamas, he felt his skin breathing after taking a shower, he reached out and pressed her round shoulder, leaned down and kissed her.

Natasha raised her head and responded enthusiastically.

……

On behalf of the military headquarters, the Marquis of Luthor rushed to the city of Mucuso in mid-July to inspect the city's post-war reconstruction. Count Cushing, accompanied by a group of officials from the city of Ruyt.

The mission's temporary residence was located in the MacDonnell family's mansion in Ruyt.

The Marquis of Luthor only made a tour of the city of Mukuso, and then summoned the nobles of Mukuso who were more supportive of Surdak, and revealed to them that the purpose of the trip was that Surdak would go to Bena City in late July to confer the honor, and then Surdak would be officially appointed as the consul of Mukuso.

Hearing the news, the officials of the Mukuso City Hall breathed a sigh of relief.

They have been working hard for a while to gain Surdak's approval, and of course, the prerequisite for all this is that Surdak can become the consul of Mukuso City.

The Marquis of Luthor made a special trip from the city of Bednar to confirm the incident......

Another purpose of Marquis Luthor's visit this time was to make Surdak and the Archon of Ruyt, Clay, private. Count Cushing got acquainted.

Clay. Count Cushing is a close friend of the Marquis of Luthor, but now he is a white-haired old man in his sixties, as the consul of Ruit City, both physical and mental strength are somewhat fundamental, but he still occupies the position of consul of Ruit, which is guarding the city for Marquis Luthor.

Surdak was the successor to the Archon of Ruyt, appointed by the Marquis of Luthor......

Marquis Luthor's third purpose in coming to the Gampoo Plane was to bring the heavy infantry legion formed by Surdak back to Bednar City, and by the way, to bring back the prisoners of war from Lord MacDonnell's army.

This matter can be regarded as a promise between the Marquis of Luthor and the military department, the military department will provide funds for the creation of an infantry regiment, and after the Ganbu plane is recovered in the future, Surdak will return these 20,000 heavy infantry to the military department.

If the 20,000 heavy infantry were to be transferred from the Ganbu plane, the garrison of the Ganbu plane would be missing a large chunk.

Although every southern town has now formed a security team, there is still a lack of garrisons that can be mobilized anytime and anywhere, so Surdak has no choice but to recruit troops from the resistance autonomous region, this time the resistance is much less opposed, and the recruitment of new troops is personally responsible for the secretary general of the round table, Shelton.

In fact, this is easier than expected, and now that the Gampo plane has re-established power, many young people do not want to live a semi-secluded life in the depths of the rainforest.

They had heard that their companions had made a lot of money, and many of them regretted not joining the hoplite regiment in the first place.

Now that I have such an opportunity, of course, I will not give up easily......
