Chapter Twenty-Three: The Ridge
The black pudding hesitated for a long time, pursed his lips, suddenly jumped off the wheel, and stood beside Louie, and Hough was furious!
The little boy grew up in the troupe since he was a child, although he never knew when he couldn't speak, but he was always well-behaved, did whatever he said, worked hard, never bothered others, and was his most powerful assistant!
The people of the troupe, except for Gail, who was recruited three years ago, and Sunny, who was recruited more than two years ago...... Now that Sanny is gone, and all the people are dead, and now only him, Gail, and Black Pudding are left, how can Black Pudding be gone?
"Why are you leaving!" Hough was furious: "You don't have the qualifications!"
But he was facing Louis with a pair of cold eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He couldn't help but wince.
However, whoever lets go, he will not let go of the black pudding!
Although, he doesn't have this qualification either. The person in charge of the troupe is long gone, and then it was because Cathy, the gold owner, appeared, that they listened to her in everything.
"It's his right to leave or not to leave. ”
Although Louis didn't understand why the little boy came down, he knew that even if he brought another person, with his strength, it would be enough to keep him safe.
The little boy stood at Louie's side, clenched his fist, but did not dodge, but looked directly at Hove, he wanted to follow Louie!
Nothing is more intense than this!
In the past, he never asserted, not because he was not autonomous, but because he did not dare to be autonomous, and indeed as Hoff said, he was not qualified.
Life is given by others, food is given by others, and craftsmanship is taught by others. From a very young age, he knew that he should be well-behaved, talk less, do more, and no matter what happens, he should not complain, just do things obediently.
But now, the person who raised him has left, the person who saved him has died, the troupe has withered, and he has become more and more confused about his direction, until, he meets this young man.
No one has ever been as magical as he is.
The boy may not know it himself, but he clearly feels this magic, which is even more powerful than the legendary wizards and giants!
To this day, he still deeply remembers the shock of eating ramen for the first time!
It turns out that beauty is such a real thing, it turns out that happiness is such a simple existence, and in the eight years of his life, he feels alive for the first time!
Not as a subordinate, not as a handyman, not as a person who can be called by anyone, but a person who is really cared for, taken care of, and seen by people's eyes!
Only Louis would say thank you to him!
Only Louis will help him with his prey!
Only Louis will finish cooking the food and be the first to hand it to him!
No one has ever been able to give him such deep warmth, and no one has ever been able to shock him again and again!
He, Black Pudding, really wants to be the master of his life, he wants to follow this young man, not only the warmth of the young man, but also because he believes in him wholeheartedly, follow him, there must be endless beauty ahead!
He could almost imagine a whole new world opening up in the future!
"I'm going to follow him. ”
To everyone's surprise, the little boy was able to speak, and his voice was full of firmness and relaxation, as if nothing could restrain him!
"I'm going south too!"
Everyone was shocked, Cathy looked at the little boy speechless, and Gail, Bart and the others didn't dare to imagine that Black Pudding was not mute.
The most shocked was Hove, he was almost angry, the little boy had studied with him for three years, and he had never said a word, and he thought he couldn't speak!
"You ......"
"Alright," Cathy waved her hand tiredly, and Gail coughed behind her, whether intentionally or not, to make her realize that the injured person couldn't wait.
She also has her own simplicity in doing things, and the young man said: "Since you have decided, this is the path you have chosen for yourself, no matter what you encounter, you must bear it yourself." ”
Although she did not understand what the boy was thinking, she was not enough to let herself be so upset when they parted: "Give them enough food and money," and added, "And a copy of my letterhead." ”
This is her special letterhead, and she still holds a little luck, and if the boy regrets it, he can come to her.
Louie understood what she meant, and expressed gratitude, especially when Cathy gave him her medicine kit as well, only he knew what was inside.
Hough was so angry that he couldn't speak, but Gail, Kate, and Bart didn't want to speak, and I don't know when we can meet again?
Everyone was depressed.
In the end, Louis watched from afar as the crowd met with the cavalry, was interrogated, and invited into Fort Vanguard before leaving.
The black pudding is neatly dragged by a horse on a cart that originally had a donkey with instant noodles and a jelly (simple refrigerator) for bones.
In any case, temporary food is available, and Louis is not in a hurry, as long as it is not a bad place like Sunset City, he can make food anywhere.
The most important thing now is to arrive at Jinmai City safely, where you can win your own place and give full play to your skills!
......
It was about half a day's ride from Louis and the Black Pudding, with lush vegetation and clear streams, with the occasional dead branches and leaves falling from the trees and sprinkling the ground with gold.
On both sides of the long stone avenue, wooden houses, thatched houses and mud houses are like old women's teeth, crooked and uneven, there are about hundreds of them, winding between the road and the hills in a strange manner.
Several birds fluttering that did not fit the quiet atmosphere sounded in unison, and the birds that had been quietly perched on the branches did not know what to do, and scattered in a hurry.
In the humble inn hall, the croppers, peasant women, innkeepers, swineherds and others in patches were indifferently looking at the person who was tied up in front of them.
"I can sing! I am a famous minstrand! I have sung for noble ladies and ladies!" the man said unknowingly, "My singing voice can make even the nightingale ashamed!"
"As long as you are willing to give me back the gold coins, I can sing the most beautiful song for you, enough to make your heartstrings tremble......!
The man pleaded desperately, and the rest of the caravan were bloodless, but the crop man smiled: "You are so good at singing?"
"I will!I will!I will!" The man nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"That's good!" said the man suddenly, "Then you can sing a song and listen to it! If the nightingale has not faded, and the stream has not frozen, I will cut your tongue at once!"
The words fell like a blunt object, and the words were as sharp as the tip of a knife, and the man looked at him coldly, without any pity in his eyes: "Go and get the scissors!"
The man's eyes widened in disbelief. He looked into the eyes of these people and was almost sure that if he dared to sing a single lyric, these people would literally cut out their tongues!
"No, no, no...... I can't ......" he stammered, not knowing what to do.
"You can't? What can't you do?" one woman scoffed, "You can't sing?"
"I was able to ...... Sing," stammered the man, he was very confident in his voice, but how could he let the stream freeze?
At this moment, he was sweating profusely, wishing he hadn't said those big words just now!
"I can't... Let the stream not move, but I can ...... I promise my singing voice ......" Before the words were finished, the men were already impatient, and before the man could say anything, there was a sudden sharp sound of annunciation.
"It's coming! It's coming!"
The voice was filled with joy and excitement: "Another group of people are driving horses and dragging goods, I don't know if they are traders?
The people here were overjoyed when they heard this.
A woman said: "Do you see clearly? How many people are there? Do you have any weapons? It seems that we still have to clean up, so that no one can see the flaws!"
When the people heard this, they immediately dragged the people of the caravan into the warehouse, and they would deal with it later.
And the little man who reported outside slowly turned cold: "No, it's not a caravan, it seems that there are only two people!"
A teenager, a boy.
