Chapter 223: Lao Tie's Life and End
The sunset was setting, the red warm sun tossed and moved from the end of the heaven and earth, and finally dragged its tired figure back to the underground, the stars and the moon rested enough, and then they began to crawl out of the ground, and I don't know if the sun was too big to squeeze their sleeping place, so they had to come out, otherwise why are you always looking at the moon is broken?
It seems that the sun is really domineering, just like himself, haha. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Lao Tie sat on a wicker chair in the garden, his lower body covered his leg that was cut off by an accident with a blanket, watching the sun rise and set, the moon rose and fell, and someone poured it for him when the water next to him was cold, and when he was hungry, someone would bring him a hot meal to eat, and the servants around him faced him with a flattering smile every time, and every time he scolded them, they always smiled and were very bright, which made Lao Tie dislike it very much, he liked them to be scolded and cried by himself.
In addition, Lao Tie's life can be said to be extremely comfortable, as for why he has such a good life to live, every time someone asks, Lao Tie always tells his childhood experience with a mysterious smile that makes him proud.
When Lao Tie was still Xiao Tie, he was just a child in one of the countless manors under the name of the Duke of Amed, one of the countless manors under the name of the Savoy family, it can be said that he was born very ordinary, if there is no accident, Lao Tie can be the agent of the manor in this life is his greatest achievement, it is impossible to come to this beautiful forest to enjoy such a beautiful day for more than forty years.
This matter still has to start from Lao Tie when he was young, at that time Lao Tie was eighteen or nineteen years old, his blood was strong, every time he did farm work, Lao Tie did the most, and he was very burly, muscular like an orangutan, the girls in the manor had a good impression of Lao Tie who had the strength to support them, and the last one who married Lao Tie was the daughter of the landlord in the manor at that time, that is, Lao Tie's wife later.
It's just that Lao Tie was not satisfied with himself at that time, he liked to fight since he was a child, looking at those who grabbed water from his manor, Lao Tie always rushed to be the first, it can be said that in the fight, he really wasn't afraid of anyone, which made him develop a heroic spirit, he wanted to be a knight.
But when his wife entered the door, after a long period of peace, Lao Tie's original ambitions were almost wiped out, and it happened that at this time, his mother-in-law also brought him a little boy who looked like a thief, and the blood in Lao Tie's heart completely turned into gentle water, and it wrapped around these two mothers and sons.
With children and wife, and the support of his father-in-law, Lao Tie soon had a bumper harvest in his love field and career, and it can be said that he has reached the pinnacle of life in his small world, and the original idea of becoming a soldier and making meritorious contributions on the battlefield is naturally gone.
But the development of history is like this, it always does not change because of a person's preferences, when Lao Tie wants to fight, the war is gone, and when his wife is pregnant again, the war begins like a joke.
Lao Tie doesn't remember the origin and cause of the war, so when he told the story of his past to the people around him, he didn't say much more, just saying that there was a conflict between Savoy and the surrounding principalities at that time, and in that year, the conflict suddenly intensified, and the opposing army suddenly entered Savoy's territory without any reason and began to slaughter and loot.
At this time, Lao Tie was in the manor, his father-in-law had died of illness, after the recommendation of the old man before he died, Lao Tie took over his shift, became the head of this manor, and the first task sent down by his superiors was to organize people to participate in the war.
The war finally came, but Lao Tie's heart retreated, looking at his wife and children, Lao Tie found that he didn't want to go, and he was even more afraid, afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back, but as a landlord, if Lao Tie didn't go, he knew that he would definitely die, so when a few soldiers arrived at the manor, Lao Tie packed his bags, took the ten men in his manor, left their parents and wives, and went to fight.
Except for Lao Tie, who had left the manor because he had to hand over goods to a nearby town, the rest of the people had never left that small piece of land in their lives, and had not come into contact with any strangers other than the hundred or so people in the manor, so what can their feelings be?
However, Xiaomin's ideas obviously will not be taken into account by the nobles, in the face of the enemy's sudden attack, mobilizing the civilians on the front line to gamble on the muzzle of the gun is undoubtedly the best choice to slow down the enemy, so Lao Tie and they didn't have time to go to the nearby castle to receive training as professional soldiers, so they were directly sent to the front line of the battlefield.
As a result, there is no doubt that these people who usually only hold hoes were instantly scared silly when they touched bows and arrows and spears, in addition to Lao Tie, they still have a lot of strength, even if they don't know any skills, but with the instinct to survive, and the strength that is about twice as big as usual, they can still survive with difficulty and see the sun tomorrow, but the rest of the people are not so lucky.
At that time, the commander of the army they did at that time in order to prevent the people of a manor from colluding with each other to escape, so after the soldiers brought people to the army, they separated everyone, so as to ensure that one person's escape would not let everyone run with him, and more importantly, the officer also combined the sitting method with this order, so that the people who ran away knew that because of your escape, the rest of the countrymen were hanged outside the camp tent, so Lao Tie did not know until four days later that the nine good guys he brought had all died in the warγ
One of them was only half of his arm when he was brought back, because the number of doctors was very small, so he was finally howled to death in the barracks.
Lao Tie's grief did not let the war end, as the words of the nobles on both sides became sharper and sharper, and the tone of the confrontation became worse and worse, the title of the front line gradually became synonymous with hell in the hearts of civilians, countless civilians were transported here to consume the strength of the soldiers on the other side, countless people were dying, blood was flowing everywhere, and in the end, Lao Tie felt disgusted every time he thought of his wife when she gave birth to her eldest son.
And in such a situation, Lao Tie because of his military merits, he was promoted, became a centurion, and managed the new hundred recruits, in this regard, Lao Tie felt bored after shouting and scolding the soldiers at the beginning, facing the ordinary soldiers who were about to be sent to the meat grinder, it was difficult for Lao Tie to have any feelings for these recruits who didn't know how many people would be able to stand here tomorrow.
In fact, just as Lao Tie expected back then, he was elected as a centurion in the front row for the first time, leading this group of pikemen to tremble as if they had taken gold, and there was no doubt that they were defeated by the well-equipped and well-trained army of the other party, and in the end, they were still by Lao Tie's side and were not seriously injured, and there were only twelve or thirteen left, and the rest were either dead or captured, and some were estimated to take advantage of the danger to run, for which Lao Tie only felt that they were very lucky, unlike himself, and could not escape.
Yes, Lao Tie can't escape, he is the only one who comes out of the manor, he is still alive, if he goes back, what face will he have to meet those who are waiting for his children and husband to come back? Lao Tie thinks about his wife and children, but as a man, he is cowardly at this time.
The war continued, and the number of people around Lao Tie continued to decrease and increase, and such days lasted for about half a month, and Lao Tie finally got the news that the Duke of Savoy finally gathered his troops scattered around the territory and the armies of the nobles, and came to the front line, and they finally didn't have to die.
After receiving this order, the entire camp erupted in huge cheers, even the commander's camp was no exception, the cruelty of the war was far beyond everyone's imagination, just the weapons thrown outside the camp waiting to be re-smelted and rolled up were piled up into a mountain, and the broken spears could be turned into a bamboo forest, this is the harvest of Lao Tie and the others who fought for a month.
The cheers continued for a long time, until the commanders rode their tall horses from camp to camp and did not quiet down, but everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep, Lao Tie still remembered that he was in the quilt at that time, holding his quilt and crying, he could finally see his wife and the lovely child.
Lao Tie fell asleep with a beautiful dream, and the next morning, with the lord's iron hooves stepping on the graceful steps, a message came that Lao Tie remembered until now, because the place found out that just today the Duke will come here to personally direct the battle, and the knights who follow the Duke will also sweep like a current, so at the moment before the Duke arrives, these enemies suddenly attacked all the villages on the front line, and the manor where Lao Tie is located, unfortunately, is in this manor.
Lao Tie didn't listen carefully to what happened, and he didn't have the heart to listen to his companions who also suffered this fate, he only knew that on that day, he was already dead, and all his hopes were deprived of him by those damn wars.
From this day on, obsessed with scolding, watching his soldiers being scolded in front of him bloody dogs, the pain in Lao Tie's heart will be a little more comfortable, like an anesthetic, every time he scolds, his stinky heart will regain a little vitality, and continue to walk with his body.
Fighting, scolding, eating, sleeping, this was all Lao Tie's days were all about, until one day when a gorgeously dressed nobleman was encircled, Lao Tie happened to be next to him, and successfully rescued this nobleman, and all he paid for was a leg.
In order to thank him for saving his life, the nobleman asked the best doctor to amputate his leg, and let his servants take good care of this savior, and finally waited for Lao Tie to recover his spirits, obeyed Lao Tie's wishes, and took him to this beautiful castle in the forest, where he became a butler, but in fact the master, because the nobleman himself came here for only a week or so, so that Lao Tie lived a life without fighting here.
Looking back now, Lao Tie didn't actually want to save this nobleman in his heart at that time, he rushed to the enemy's battle array, in order to, just to seek death, at that time he really wanted to die, all his gains turned into ashes under the enemy's butcher's knife, and he also wanted to turn into ashes, but God didn't want to pollute heaven, just like that, Lao Tie has lived to the present and has become an old man who everyone is afraid of.
"Butler Tidak, it's late, and now it's a little cold, do you want to go back to your room to rest, or sit down for a while, if you want to sit here for a while, then I'll go to the room and get a blanket, so that you don't catch a cold." β
The maid's words were very gentle, but from her eyes, you could see the meaning of fear, and the old iron when she scolded people was very terrifying.
Tie Dake is the name that Lao Tie took after becoming a housekeeper, and he originally had no name, so for this name, Lao Tie is still a little unaccustomed to this name even if he has used it for so many years, pursed his lips, looked at the maid beside him, and said:
"Oh, let them carry me in. β
"Yes, you guys come over here and bring the Butler of Titako inside. β
The male servants who had been standing behind waiting for the maid's orders came over one after another, and when they were about to lift the chair made by Lao Tie, a burst of red light suddenly flashed in the sky, accompanied by the black smoke of the morale, and the smell of the plants and animals being burned.
"Butler, on, it's on fire. β
The maid's voice was a little sharp, looking at the mountain fire that was gradually waiting for her to wait for the others, the fear in her pupils was even more terrible than when she looked at Lao Tie just now, the mountain fire of this era, accompanied by the strong monsoon climate of autumn and the cold air brought by the Alps, as well as the flammable fallen leaves all over the ground, the burning speed was amazing, just a sentence of time, life was getting closer and closer, it was originally just a touch of red on the horizon, and now one-fifth of the field of vision has been occupied by red.
"Run, run. β
I don't know who took the lead in shouting first, but after the voice, the responders gathered, except for their mansion, the servants in the other villas also ran out, without bringing anything, they ran out in the opposite direction of the mountain fire, and Lao Tie was left in this luxurious mansion.
The endless abuse made Lao Tie have no one willing to run with him at this critical moment.
It's just that Lao Tie's expression is very flat, just a little disappointed when he sees those servants leave without even looking at him, he just insulted these servants, but in addition, he has never beaten any servants, nor has he let any servants die unnaturally in his hands, and all the maids have never thought about it, compared to other people, Lao Tie is much better, but he didn't expect that he ended up like this.
"Haha, my child, my rose, I'm finally coming to see you. β
After being sentimental, Lao Tie's mood became very calm, he got up from his chair, jumped to the mansion with one leg, looked out the window at the mountain fire that was approaching, picked up the dagger on the table, and stabbed himself in the throat.
Blood splattered.
The fire continued to burn, devouring all life, and those who fled were also being burned to death, but much slower than Lao Tie. (To be continued.) )
