The thirty-eighth palm sugar bag

When I asked, Tom narrowed his eyes and looked at me, "What do you want so much sugar for?" ”

At this time, we have just circled from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, and we are going to cross a lush pine forest from the mountainside today, and finally walk to a place called the Green Crown Mill, which is said to be named because the Wikibians cut down the trees on the mountainside in order to build a road, leaving only the trees on the top of the mountain, so the mill there is called the Green Crown Mill

From where I am standing now, I can't see the mill, because now the trees on the mountainside have regrown, obscuring the view for more than ten years, and the mountain forest has recovered itself, but it is said that the surrounding area became bare, there was nothing, and it became similar to the Gobi of Salander, and the road we are walking on now was built by the blood of the Vikchian soldiers, although it was used to invade Middle-earth, but now, its meaning has long changed

King Vecchia became the king of the western part of the snowy mountains, a road that had led him to glory and would henceforth bring him great honor

From time to time, a farmer would walk past us with a shepherd and chopping wood, and the sheep would eat up the grass under the forest, chew parchmently, and were about to go to the creek below to drink

Some soldiers told the shepherds and woodcutters to be careful, saying that robberies were rampant at the foot of the hill and that some farms had been looted

The men were dumbfounded, then thanked us for the reminder, cautiously looked at the scene down the mountain, and then turned back and left, so that they would not venture down the mountain

When I started to walk up the mountain, I didn't have a very difficult road, the slope of these roads was not very large, it circled around the mountainside, and even the ox cart could easily climb up, but there was a problem that the winding mountain road stretched the total distance many times over, even if it was a visible target, it would take a long time to walk over, but looking back at my baggage, if there was no such road, I really couldn't imagine how to climb the mountain

The further up the hill you go, the cooler it gets

Even when the sun shone on me, when the mountain wind blew, it was still as cold as at night under the mountain, some of the servants began to open the box, and took out the windproof cloak inside for everyone, I put the cloak on my head, and then tied a knot around my neck, and wrapped myself under the cloak, and we did it in time, because soon the sun disappeared, and a thin dark cloud covered it, and the heavens and the earth became dark and cold

I cautiously walked past the crowd on my iron feet, and then I saw Tom

Tom sat in an ox cart to help a woman cut her nails, the kind of special small scissors were brought by Tom from Kudan, there was no local past, the local maids cut their nails carefully in a place where no one was around, Tom's elegant way of manicure was very fascinating at once, if it weren't for the opposition of the craftsman in the manor, Tom would have opened a nail cutting shop with his nail clippers

As I walked by, I heard Tom say, "I have no regrets about being able to cut off such beautiful nails."

The woman smiled and asked Tom to give her this interesting nail clipper

Tom said solemnly, "This is naturally no problem, can I come to you tonight?" I'll show you interesting knives."

The woman smiled and asked Tom about the size of the knife, and Tom convinced the woman that the woman hugged Tom and gave him a firm kiss on the left and right cheeks, and made two red marks, just like the silly red face that a child painted when he was performing

When the woman was gone, Tom looked at me with a squinted look and a 'why are you again'

"What are you doing here?"

Everyone I've seen me lately loves to ask me this question

"I want sugar"

Tom flicked the ash off his shoulder, "No"

"," I said, "I saw it last time, and the cook gave you a lot of candy, bag after bag."

"What does that have to do with you? If I do, why give it to you? ”

"I helped you pick the fruit"

"It's because of picking fruits, this time I caused such a big thing, is this a glorious thing?"

"Please, give me some," I said to him, "I might be able to do something for you later."

Tom frowned and thought for a moment, "I remember that Catherine didn't have a sweet tooth very much?" It's not appropriate for you to send this to someone? ”

"Uh, not for Kaja"

"Do you like to eat sweets yourself? It's not good, real men never like sweets."

"Don't you drink sugar tea every day?"

"I'm single-listed, don't I remember giving you a bag last time? Tossed so quickly? ”

"Snatched by the Messiah"

"Who?"

"Miss Messirah, and this time I came to ask for you, and she asked me to come," I spread my hands helplessly

Tom narrowed his eyes, as if he was getting to know me again, and there was a little more respect and sympathy in his eyes, "Victor, I thought you were a very dedicated person, it seems that I blamed you for something, just come to me for something in the future, so I can discuss" He fumbled around and went to the suitcase for a long time, and took out a leather bag, "This is a bag made of sea otter skin, no matter what it contains, it can be guaranteed to Miss Messila for a long time, please tell her that this is a little bit of the heart of her faithful servant Tom." ”

I snatched the bag, got on my horse and ran away, Tom scolded and yelled at me for dozens of steps, then waved angrily and turned back

After taking the bag, I walked as I looked at the convoy behind me, looking for the carriage of the Messiah

At this time, I showed up Kaja

Kaja was with two knights, and they were talking and laughing and walking towards me, and I greeted her, and I thought she was going to put on a rejecting face again, maybe she was in a good mood this time, so she just smiled and nodded at me

"It's you," she said with a smile, "Victor, these are my two knights"

"Your knight?"

These two men, I know, are knights of the Romanov family, but now the coat of arms on their chests has become steppe wolves

"Yes," Kaja smiled much better, "Lord Kalinin said, the lord should have his own land, and he should also have his own subordinates Now Lord Kalinin has no territory to settle me and my father for the time being, so he allocated two knights to my family Now these two knights are knights of the Lepnin family, they are the first steppe wolves after the catastrophe, Victor, my family will have a revival one day"

"Your family is taking people? Does Lord Leo have gold to pay them? ”

The two knights laughed, "Vidor, we still get a salary from Lord Kalinin, you don't have to worry about us going to the east, we will have our own land, you know?" I am now a servant of Lord Leo, and my cousin is a retinue of Lady Catherine."

I don't know why Kaja is so happy, because I can see that this is not so much to send subordinates to her family, but to send people to monitor their family These two knights are simply arranged by Count Kalinin, I don't believe that they can be subdued by an old man and a young After going to the eastern part of the Snow Mountain, Count Kalinin will definitely hold Kaja in his hands, so that he can use Kaja's identity to gain a firm foothold in the early stage I have been thinking, once Kaja's family loses its use value, The best case scenario for Count Kalinin to treat her is to arrange for one of his grandsons to marry Kaja

"I'll give you a follow," I blurted out

Kaja looked reproachful, "The Count still needs someone to help him raise his horses," she joked

The two knights snorted and laughed contemptuously, "Vidor, Lady Catherine is right, if one day the Lepnin family needs horses, we will come to you, don't worry"

I didn't really care about the knight's ridicule, I was used to it anyway, every time I helped them lead the horses, they would always say cool things, but Kaja's words made me extremely uncomfortable, 'The Count still needs someone to help him raise horses', am I just a horse boy?

I pinched the bag of sea otter skins, sat on the horse, and saw two knights guarding Kaja, walking towards the front of the convoy, and some of the lords would hold her by the hand as Kaja passed, and whisper things like 'Lady Catherina' and 'Female Knight', and Kaja liked these compliments very much, she was indeed handsome on her steed, and she looked very handsome in her tight leather coat, but her words made me sigh

I shook my head and walked back

At this moment, on the top of the mountains, someone began to ignite black smoke, which was a sign of vigilance, and the sudden change of events made the people around me nervous, and yesterday's clash still made people scareless

I urged my iron feet and ran behind as fast as I could, and soon I was at the side of Messira, who had already poked her head out, and she also saw the black smoke on the mountain, "What's going on?" People say that the pass on the mountain is under martial law, what's wrong? ”

"I don't know, I'll go and ask Christopher," I said to her, and then I suddenly remembered something and handed her the leather bag that was hanging from my waist, "It's all sugar, you can eat it slowly and be careful with your teeth"

She took the bag and said thank you in a thin voice, and then showed an anxious expression, "Don't run around, don't be like yesterday" She said this, and suddenly blushed, as if she had accidentally revealed her concern

A warm current welled up in my heart, and I wanted to say something emotional, but I felt that I couldn't spit out a word when the words reached my throat

"Mi"

Before I could say it, I heard Kinov shouting my name, and I nodded to the Messiah and ran towards Kinov

The men on horseback ran back and forth, someone gave me a saber and a stone fort on the mountain put up a horse on the road, thirty crossbowmen quit smoking on the avenue, warned us not to pass, I don't know what happened, I pinched the knife in my hand, and suddenly remembered the Burke man who was caught yesterday, and my hand shook unconsciously, I don't know how to use a knife

"It's okay," Kinov could see my nervousness, "just hold the knife in your hand, don't let people see that you're scared, just follow me"

Several knights of the Romanov family led the group, and they spread their flags, ready to go and inquire about it

"Out," a knight shì roared from

We rode out of the horses, and the sound of the horses' hooves was like a summer thunder
