Chapter 14: The Tale of Two Kugits 4

In the countryside of Gomos there is a small farmstead that belongs to the old Wright family.

The Wright family originated in Uxhall, and the family has been through so much in ancient times. By the time the first king ascended the throne, there were not many people in the Wright family who directly ruled the territory. There are many families of the Wright family who have this situation, the first generation is a lord, the second generation goes to the city to become an official, and the third generation leaves the territory completely. The descendants of the lords no longer had the pioneering spirit of their ancestors, and the idyllic countryside was nothing more than a poor place full of mud in their minds. But this branch of the Wright family is firmly on the ground after all.

The old lord of the Wright family was a student who graduated from the Paraven Military Academy, and when he graduated, he was not assigned to a military district as a junior officer, because his family could not afford to open the jointed dinar. After two years in Parabun, the cadet returned to his hometown of Gomos, where he married the daughter of a local commoner who owned a lot of land. The opposite family took a fancy to his family's aristocratic status, and his family took a fancy to that family's land. His marriage merged two families, collectively known as the Wright family. The Knight family's territory went from one hundred and twenty acres to two thousand seven hundred.

Twenty years ago, the first king marched south. At this time, the newly married old Wright saw an opportunity. If he makes a military achievement, he can be glorified. His aristocratic family will not be looked down upon by the members of his wife's family because of economic problems.

He said goodbye to his gentle wife------ who had not yet established a relationship with him, a good-natured woman who did not have much opinion.

The Wright family used to have only one hundred and twenty acres of land, so the family was very small. There were only three men who could follow him into the army: a servant Hal who had grown up with him; a veteran of his father's rule; A middle-aged handyman.

These four men have only 3 horses; Old Wright and Hal sat on a horse. They followed in the footsteps of their ancestors. When they came to Suno, the king came to Uxhall; When the first king crossed the Blue Water River, they were stopped in the way by the flood. When he finally found the king in Viruga, the army had moved westward.

Young Wright Sr. approached the officer and asked for a task to distribute the rations. The officer asked Wright how many people he had brought, and the elder Wright said four, take him four. The quartermaster and his office colleagues laughed, and there were fewer and fewer amusing things like this since the beginning of the war. The officer gave Wright a horse, four pieces of felt, and two sacks of barley. Then I wish Wright the best of luck.

Wright Sr. was later assigned a supply line to inspect incoming vehicles, prevent Rhodok rebels from smuggling weapons, and protect the supply line from being cut off.

That morning, Old Wright woke up feeling in a good mood. His companions left yesterday, and today a middle-aged knight, Timmy, came to patrol with him. This knight is a native of Suno, with a gentle expression, fat and happy, which makes people feel close. He wears a beautiful Suno helmet with white fur and dusty hair. Wright enjoyed chatting with this middle-aged uncle. The middle-aged man told him: "I have a territory in a valley in the South Suno Plain, which is rich in fruit and has a mild climate. It's a hot summer, though. By the way, I also have a wife and three daughters, and they are all beautiful. I've missed them a lot since I came here. I decided that when the spring of next year was over, my obligations would be fulfilled, and I would go home at that time. I now know that I am a fool and that home is the best. But a military career is still meaningful, I at least learned to ride a horse, I can't think of it, I didn't know it before. Later my memoirs will record ????"

The middle-aged man planted himself under his horse before he could say this, and kept piercing his stomach with a crossbow arrow. Old Wright jumped off his horse and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him to disperse. At this moment, a few arrows came from the woods, and one of them hit the hind leg of a horse, and the frightened horse ran forward and knocked over Wright, who fell to the ground. The carriage pulled behind the horse was loaded with heavy supplies and pressed over Old Wright's shoulder blades, breaking several of his ribs, which had penetrated into his internal organs.

Timmy was later diagnosed with a crossbow shot through the stomach and died instantly. Old Wright lay in bed with a fever for two days, and after seeing it, the doctor walked out the door and shook his head at Old Wright's three companions.

The veteran walked in with the remaining two men and tactfully asked Old Wright what his last words were.

Wright was tired and didn't want to say anything. Later, he still struggled and said, "You?? Freedom??? Finish. Where do you want to go? Where to?? bar. ”

The veteran wanted to ask him what arrangements he had for his family, but Old Wright closed his eyes and didn't want to say anything. At dinner in the evening, Old Wright died.

Of those three, middle-aged handymen later died on the front line; The veteran returned to Gommos; Hal went to Suno, where he worked his way up to become a businessman, and many years later owned a car dealership----- Hal Dealership, which carried out the transportation business from Sunoux to Uxhall. After accumulating some money, Hal got married and had a daughter, who was said to be as beautiful as the moon.

By the time the veteran returned, the Wright family had been utterly ruined.

With no male heirs for six months, the lordship title of House Wright was withdrawn. The land was given to a lord of Paravon, who had never been to the land, but had entrusted the steward to sell the land to the family of the wife of the old Wright.

Wright Sr.'s family was completely worthless to his wife's family.

Wright Sr.'s mother died of depression.

Wright's wife's family persuaded her to remarry, but Wright's wife was unwilling. She decided to raise the child in her womb, and soon after, Snoin. Wright (Silver Snowy Night!) Show up! Snowingnight=Snowingnight=Snowingnight) was born. During this period, the family that married the wrong daughter gradually drew a line with the Wright family. Little Wright was only educated by veterans and his mother since he was a child.

His mother gave him a loving heart and cultural knowledge, and the veterans gave him tenacity and fighting skills.

The relatives of the mother's family did not like this little Wright, and the child was very silent, not like he would be able to become a lord in the future. As time passed, Wright became more and more silent, and the decaying family business prevented him from having the easy mind to live the life that a child should have. The children of relatives laughed at him: "Noble Wright".

Whenever this happens, Wright goes up and beats them. Whenever this happens, his gentle mother can only cry. The veteran is getting older, and he can only be taught some verbal teaching. When the veteran found out that he was more abusive, he was furious, and Wright was never so afraid.

The veteran said: "The consequences of indiscriminate violence, you can look at our country. Because of indiscriminate violence, the Kugit now crossed the mountain pass; The Nords and Vecchians divided the North Sea equally; South Svadia became independent. The country is in tatters. Violence can be used to solve problems, but it is only most effective when the point is reached, and if used excessively, it can be disastrous. Your father was swallowed up by this kind of disaster, what a good age, and disappeared into the mountains of southern Xinjiang like that. ”

Wright began to try to master the art of patience.

A few years later, the veteran died, and before he died, he gave Wright a sword, as well as a knight's insignia.

A few more years later, Wright's mother was dying. Whenever she thinks about her son's future, this woman who has been weak all her life can only cry silently. One day, she came to Wright and told him, "I don't have long to live, don't speak, listen to me." You're in your twenties, and it's time to leave home, maybe it's late. I have only one request now, go to Rhodok and find your father's grave and come back with a little dirt from above. I must have been dead by the time you came back. Sprinkle dirt on my grave. That way I can feel closer to your father. I've been waiting for him all my life, and I just hope to be closer to your father when I die. ”

Wright and his mother wiped tears from each other's eyes.

Wright's mother was determined to ask her son to go out quickly. She felt that she didn't live long and didn't want her son to watch her die. She knows that her son's heart is fragile and sensitive.

Towards the end of the summer, Wright went out with the 40 dinars that his mother had borrowed from the two families. Carrying an iron sword and wearing a travel coat.

He had no horses and left the village step by step. At the end of the road in front of his house, he looked back. I saw his mother standing trembling by the door in the dazzling summer sun, looking at him without blinking, waving the back of her hand forward and again, let's go, let's go.

But his mother's eyes didn't seem to be enough to see him.

Wright waved his hand, and suddenly felt that he would never see his mother again when he turned around. Go forward and don't look back.

Wright turned his head and walked all the way into the green wheat field, tears dripping down the road.

Wright never looked back.

From Gomoth, Wright crossed the plains of Reporet, where Swadia's cavalry had driven the Nords back to the Djerberg Pass years earlier. When Wright arrived at Suno, he asked at a car dealer how to get to Rhodok, and the guy at the dealership told him to take the car to Uxhall and then south into Rhodok.

Wright paid the fare with what little money he had left, and got into a carriage one night. The veteran told him to keep an eye on all the information, which often worked wonders at critical moments. Wright looked at the license plate number: "Hal C411"

In the car, he was opposite a young man and his maid. The maid didn't know why she had sores all over her body. Wright has never been good at dealing with strangers, and the purpose of this trip is heavy. He could only listen to the sound of the wheels in his endless thoughts.

I don't know how long it took, but the car suddenly stopped, and the driver said that the robbers were coming.

Wright is calmer. But he noticed that the young man opposite was panicked and even trembling a little.

The little girl, sleeping peacefully, leaned on his shoulder and breathed softly.
