Chapter 86: Saved
"One, two, three, let go!" With a command from Darciano, the long sword tied to the cloth bag shot out! Under the traction of the cloth bag full of copper and silver coins, the trajectory of the long sword flight was exactly the same as the trajectory of the two test shots just now!
"Quick! Remove the vines and deer tendons!, you two tear down the shelves and throw them into the ravine!" Bell sprang into action as the sword fired.
Frightened by the flames falling from the sky, the villagers scattered and fled, and some of the brave ones hid in the distance and watched carefully. Seeing that Drode's house turned into a sea of fire, no one dared to step forward to investigate. People talked about this terrible heavenly fire, and they did not dare to take half a step forward for fear of another disaster.
Bell's side quickly completed the task of disintegrating the oversized slingshot, and everyone stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the fire in the valley in the distance. "Why is it still burning?!Is no one going to put out the fire?"
"What the hell did you two set on fire? Is it true that there was only one house there? No, I saw several lights...... Bell touched his chin, he couldn't figure out how the fire could have burned for so long.
Anesa shrugged helplessly, "I don't know where the torch flew out and landed, I hope it's not their granary or oil silary." ”
"Maybe they don't have enough water to put out the fire, so they have to wait for the fire to burn out. Daciano nodded thoughtfully.
"Alright then, let's wait here for now. If this fire burns out our hopes, we're going to be in bad luck!" Bell sat on the edge of the cliff, his hands on his cheeks, quietly watching the fire on the other side.
Daciano and Anesa looked at each other, and they both shook their heads in unison, and sat down on the edge of the cliff next to Bell. A few big men, you look at me, I'll look at you, anyway, I can't interject at this time, just sit around the campfire, drink some water, eat some meat, replenish my strength, maybe tomorrow will start a long journey again.
Sitting like this for a night, Bell didn't know when he fell asleep with his cheeks up. The great men kept vigil in turn according to the custom of the past few days, and Daciano went to sleep in the middle of the night. Annesha was afraid that Bell would accidentally fall off the cliff, so she stayed by his side.
Looking at his sleeping face, I couldn't bear to wake him up. The past few days of running around have made him too tired, and after such a toss after recovering from a serious injury, how can he stand it with a human body?
There was still green smoke rising from the extinguished bonfire, and the sleeping men were still snoring from the mountains, and Daciano was sleeping soundly in the sound of snoring one after another! I hadn't practiced anything else in the past few days, but my kung fu of listening to snoring and sleeping had made great progress! The big man in charge of the last guard looked at the sky, and as long as the sun rose above the treetops in the east, it was time to wake everyone up.
"Hey, the people on the other side, are you in trouble?!" An'esa looked at Bell's side face and was spontaneously stupid, and a shout suddenly came from the opposite cliff!
Sitting on the edge of the cliff and sleeping soundly, Bell woke up excitedly! If it weren't for An'esha's quick hands and quick eyes, he would have fallen 100% when he was awakened!
When the big man in charge of the guard heard someone's shouting, he jumped up and kicked the other people in the ass one by one, "Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!"
The big man was so excited that even Daciano, who was sleeping on the side, was really kicked. Thinking that she had been attacked, she suddenly opened her eyes! She spun on the spot and jumped up! Vaguely, she saw a shadow beside her, what do you care so much!
Bang!Ahh Suddenly, I heard Bell shouting behind him, "We're lost!
"Huh?!" Daciano jerked his head back to see Bell shouting to the other side, and looked further!
After a night of hard work, it can be regarded as waiting for the villagers on the other side, and everyone thinks that this is simply a miracle. The distress signal had been sent for so long, and the fire on the opposite side had burned for most of the night, and no one thought that it was impossible for anyone to come, but a miracle happened!
It turned out that the villagers were very frightened last night, and did not know where the disaster came, first the rocks and then the fire, and then they did not know what had fallen into Delode's wooden house. No one dared to go back to sleep, and everyone hid outside the village and spent the night in fear.
Delord's hut burned down, but the villagers didn't dare to go back. It was not until after dawn that the bold dared to approach it. As a result, a large number of silver and copper coins were found in the ruins of the wooden house of Delode. Beneath the ashes, one also found a pitch-black piece of iron, shaped like a sword, but it was not known where the hilt had gone.
I took the pitch-black piece of iron and looked at it carefully, and it seemed to have some words engraved on it. The careful villagers cleaned the blade with water and rags, and then saw the message on it. The result was a panic!
The villagers are scared, but they give money after the disaster, no matter what is causing this chaos. At least people are more righteous! Look! Even threats and intimidation are the scourge of picking up a wooden house, and if the disaster really comes, we people can still escape?! Look at this meaning, as long as we do what we do above, then the wealth will definitely not be able to escape!
In line with this line of thinking, people's voices were quickly unified, and the timid ones straightened their backs at this time! If you have money, you don't make a bastard! This kind of pie in the sky is not something that can happen every day!
In this way, when the villagers were about to walk to the edge of the cliff, they saw that there seemed to be some people on the other side of the deep valley. After a little hesitation, he decided to go up and ask! But he didn't expect that as soon as he shouted on his side, the other side would fight! Just as these people were wondering whether to go back, Bell's words reached their ears.
After a brief exchange, Bell learns that there is a valley to the west from which to get around, but there are often wild beasts and strange things happening there, so most people don't choose to take that path. The other road is to the east along the deep valley, which should take about seven or eight days.
Daciano, who really didn't want to make any further detours, stepped forward and offered the villagers to help them cross the ravine. Bell also felt that if he continued to take a detour, he might encounter more dangers, and he couldn't afford to delay it! Seven or eight days had passed since he entered the mountains, and he didn't know what the situation was outside. If any of the Loire villagers did flee to Hitla, they would have to get there as quickly as possible!
