Chapter Forty-Three: Benny the Grieved

Stormbell, in a grove near the seaside mountain village, Benny lay carefully in the grass, his eyes scanning the serfs passing by the road from time to time.

"Why don't these lowly poor ghosts work today, and they all rush to the town."

Benny was in a bad state, his eyes were red and his eyes were dark, his lips were white and cracked, and his head was covered with weeds and leaves, a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the appearance of the former captain of the guard.

The night before, after Benny escaped from the castle on horseback, he originally planned to run all the way to Viscount Lanny, so that the pursuers sent by Gervais would not be able to cross the line to pursue him, but unfortunately, the pursuers were chasing him too closely, and Benny was likely to be caught up if he could not escape from Gervais's territory.

Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, Benny abandoned his horse in desperation and hid in the woods by the roadside.

Running all the way, Benny's long sword was lost, a pair of shoes were also lost, and the clothes on his body were also hooked by tree branches, and only a pair of leather armor was still intact, which was not the most unbearable for Benny.

What made Benny unbearable the most was that when he felt safe, he found a place to stop and rest, only to find that his money bag containing gold coins was also lost, which made Benny, who had already become a lost dog, almost collapse.

Without the gold coins, he would not be able to move an inch, and he would not even have a solution to food and clothing.

Even if he runs to Viscount Lanny's territory and is found out like this, he will be arrested soon, and the best outcome is to be sent to Viscount Lanny's territory, mining in those coal mines.

Thinking of this possibility, Benny did not dare to run away in the direction of Viscount Lanny's territory, and after thinking for a long time, he prepared to run to sea, because he had heard that there were many pirates on the sea.

With his current status, he can only survive by turning to pirates.

Hiding all the way, Benny finally ran to the seaside, and as long as he crossed the road in front of him, he could run directly to a sampan parked on the beach.

There was no one in the Storm Territory who made a living from fishing, and there were no fishing boats, only the sampan, which was made of broken wooden planks by the children of the village in order to catch lobsters at sea, and this was Benny's only hope of escape now.

After Gervais inspected the territory yesterday, the serfs knew that there was a new lord on the land, and the lord offered a reward of 1 silver coin to hunt down Benny.

The fields were full of serfs who talked loudly about it, and Benny heard it clearly when he was hiding in the forest, and the serfs not only talked about it, but also looked around carefully as they walked, to see if they could get lucky enough to find Benny for a reward.

Seeing this, Benny panicked inside, and now he only wanted to escape from Gervais's territory as fast as possible.

Although he was only a few hundred meters away from the sea, he could not cross the road in front of him, because there was an endless stream of serfs passing by on the road, which made Benny dare not move, for fear of being found and arrested.

He used to be the captain of the guards, and these serfs saw him like mice and cats. But now he was a wanted man, like a rat crossing the street, and his sword was lost, and if one or two serfs found him, they would surely catch him.

After waiting for more than half an hour unconsciously, Benny felt that his hope had come, because the number of serfs passing by began to decrease, and only an old serf in the rear passed by slowly with a hoe, and there were no other passers-by behind the old serf.

"Hurry up, you lowly serf." Seeing the old serf coming slowly, Benny kept cursing in his heart.

As Benny cursed, it was as if the old serf had heard Benny's curse, and suddenly quickened his pace.

The old serf ran in three steps and two steps to the edge of the grass where Lenny was hiding.

The old serf's action immediately made Benny's heart beat faster, his head rattled, and the curse in his mouth came to an abrupt end.

"Did he find me? Do you want to stand up now and kill this old first? No, the passers-by in front of them haven't gone far, and they can hear it if they make a little noise. ”

Benny's heart was fighting fiercely, he was not sure if the serf had discovered him, but he also did not dare to stand up and strike first, because the passers-by in front of him were only a few dozen meters away from here, and they could hear the old man if he made a little noise.

While Benny was in a dilemma, the old serf had already come to Benny, but instead of observing the grass, the old serf looked left and right on the road, then put the hoe behind him and began to untie the belt of his linen shorts.

"Whew~ It's so comfortable, I drank too much water at noon, and I almost couldn't hold it!" The old serf put the water and muttered in his mouth.

"*****" Benny was about to cry, since he had been a guard, when had he been tortured like this, although the old man had not noticed him, the problem was that the old serf's water was all poured on his head, and then from his head to his face.

Benny gritted his teeth, his fists clenched, the back of his hands was full of bruised tendons, and his nails were already clasped into his flesh, Benny felt that he could hardly suppress the anger in his heart.

"Even if I die, I'm going to kill you!" Benny cried out inwardly.

"You ......" Just when Benny couldn't bear it anymore, raised his head and was about to get up, trying to find this old serf who had bothered him desperately, the old serf finally finished the water, and shook his body, then leaned over and picked up the hoe on the side of the road, and then walked forward with a comfortable face.

"Huh?" The old serf, who had only taken two steps, felt as if he had heard something, and looked around in confusion, and after looking for a long time, he found nothing, and then scratched his head and walked away without looking back.

"When people get old, their ears are gone......"

Looking at the back of the old serf leaving, tears flowed from the scarlet eyes of Benny, who was full of wetness, and kept shouting in his heart: "You bastards, you wait, I will kill you all one day." ”

Then, when he was sure that there was no one on the road, Benny quickly crossed the road and ran to the sampan by the sea.

……

After telling Icke to recuperate, Gervais returned to the restaurant on the first floor.

After lunch, Gervais rode to Marina Town, guarded by his butler Thomas and three guards.

The town square is bustling with activity at the moment, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is crowded with people.

In the distance, there were still people on the road who were coming this way.

"I'm afraid most of the population of the territory is here." Looking at the dense crowd in front of him, Gervais couldn't help but sigh.

"My lord, this afternoon is the time for the castle to select male and female maids, as long as they meet the requirements, they will definitely come." Instead of riding horses, Thomas and the others followed Gervais on foot, and when they saw Gervais sighing, they immediately answered.

"Hehe, you're still smart enough to let the news get out first." Listening to Thomas's words, Gervais couldn't help but laugh.

"My lord, there is no way to do it, when the villain came to the town yesterday, he found that there were few people in the town, and the young Lisuo basically went to the fields to farm." When Thomas heard Gervais's joke, he immediately put on a bitter melon face.

"If it weren't for the fact that you are a magnanimous and merciful master, the villain would not dare to take the initiative and change the date of the selection of servants to today."
