Chapter 125

With half of the fat man's guard following, and Soyt leading the way, Char came to the south of the city of Osgilia.

The south of the city is the area inhabited by civilians, through the square in the center of the city, across the arena street to continue to the south of the city, the closer to the south, the closer to the sea, the street is no longer wide and flat, but gradually narrow and rugged, it is obvious that the cleaning work here is not as clean as those rich areas in the north of the city, the ground is everywhere after the snow melts the water left, under the trampling of countless pedestrians, vehicles and horses into a sewage pit, no longer so neat and clean in the north of the city, the buildings on both sides have also become low, low earthen houses and shacks have replaced the previous tall and majestic buildings, and the passers-by on the street are dressed as low-classThere are no tall horses, only mules, horses and donkeys, no gorgeous shirts and beautiful clothes, only linen and coarse cloth. Occasionally, one or two small wheelbarrows can be seen slowly pushing by, as well as the cries of chickens and dogs on both sides, as well as the noise of neighbors, the quarrels and scolding of husbands and wives, and the crying of children...... Char also saw two thin wild dogs on the side of the road barking at his group from a distance, and then turned around and ran away, and when he walked past a house, the mistress of the house spilled a basin of dirty water directly, almost splashing it on Char's body.

But then she saw Char and the guards on horseback behind him, and the woman exclaimed in fright, and the basin fell to the ground, and she ran back to the house.

Not only this family, but since approaching this neighborhood, the surrounding pedestrians and residents have enveloped Char and his party with curious eyes.

What are these gorgeously dressed men doing in this kind of place...... obviously, this is the civilian area...... If you leave aside Osgilia, the first heroic city on the mainland, a miracle, a thousand-year-old city, the center of power of the empire, and the great dìdū...... And so on and so on -- if you take them all out, then this place is really no different from the poor people living in the cities of the continent, large and small.

Crossing a small street and looking at the low and crooked fences in front of the houses on both sides, Char frowned: "Is it just ahead?"

"Yes. Soyt turned back in front and whispered, "The late Lord Kevin's house is right in front." Usually at this time of the day, Madame should have just returned from the tailor's shop we saw earlier......"

We walked all the way to the end of the street to a small, shabby-looking two-story building, and downstairs was a small, plainly furnished garden—or rather a garden, for it was so small.

Compared to the shacks I've seen before, this small building is pretty good, at least it's made of bricks, not earthen walls. The ground in the yard is very flat, and there are some unknown wildflowers planted on both sides - they are really wildflowers, but the small white flowers that are common in the suburbs are neatly dotted around the yard, which makes the owner who lives here quite different.

Char motioned to Soit to push the fence door open, the gate on the first floor of the small building was half hidden, Char walked out of the yard, and a gray dog came out of the door, barking at Char a few times, and then Soit waved his hand and shouted something, the dog recognized Soit, ran to him and sniffed a few times, wagged his tail before retreating to the corner, but still stared at Char with unfriendly eyes.

With a creak, the door opened, and out of it came a woman with long brown hair.

Soyt immediately bent down: "Lady Yuria." ”

Yulia, the mistress of the house and the wife of the late Kevin, stood in front of the door, looking in amazement at the men who walked in the courtyard.

The surprise on her face vanished when she saw Soit, and then a smile appeared - she had brown hair, a high nose, a tall figure, and green eyes. The forehead is slightly higher and a little wider, and the distance between her eyes is also wider, in general, she is also an ordinary-looking woman, but there is a kind of flavor in her eyebrows.

She was wearing a wide linen robe, her long brown hair was tied up very casually, there were beads of sweat on her forehead, her sleeves were rolled up, revealing the skin of her shallow wheat arms, obviously she was often busy with housework, the result of full sunbathing, there were traces of water on her hands, and she wiped her wet hands on the robe a few times, and for Char, what surprised him even more, or rather, if he brewed a stomach along the way, he originally thought that he had already thought of a set of more tactful words, but when he really saw this woman for the first time, Char froze！

He was completely stunned, and the words that filled his stomach seemed to disappear in an instant, and he opened his mouth wide and stared at the woman in front of him.

Just because ...... The woman in front of you...... Under her fat robe, her lower abdomen is high and bulging!!

Yulia ...... Kevin's wife, this woman, she, she's pregnant?!

In an instant, the picture in front of him shattered all of Char's psychological defenses, and he even felt that his mouth was dry in an instant, and his legs were a little weak.

Even in the face of the thousands of troops of the Odin, even in the face of Hasting's terrible black sè war spear, Char has never been so nervous as he is now.

"Soyt, you're back!" Yuria's voice was a little hoarse, she smiled happily, very cheerful, and looked at Char in the courtyard and Dodora hiding behind Char: "Yi? These two brothers are very eye-catching, are they Kevin's new comrades-in-arms? Come in, hehe...... By the way, what about Kevin? Is he behind? This guy must have secretly run to buy alcohol......

As she spoke, the woman stood on tiptoe and looked out of the yard, and then smiled: "What are you doing, come in, Soit, you go to Uncle Tom on the street to buy some bacon and come back, otherwise there won't be much to eat at home, hehe." ”

"............" Soyt's face was ugly, and he looked at Char as if asking for help.

Char finally came back to his senses at this time, he took a deep breath, and then slowly walked towards Yulia step by step.

Probably Char's expression, or his heavy steps, made Yulia seem a little afraid, as if she had guessed something, but the woman still smiled reluctantly: "Yi, is this young man a newcomer to your army? I don't think you are very old, are you twenty years old? Come in, I just bought a little honey yesterday, I can make you a little honey tea." ”

"Yu, Yulia......" Char walked up to the woman, her tone heavy. The woman's face changed drastically, she seemed to be panicked, she tried to retreat quickly, hiding in the door, Char grabbed her shoulder: "Yulia, my name is Char, I am Kevin's comrade-in-arms, and I am also his ......"

"Don't, don't say!" Yulia screamed out of shape, the clever woman had already guessed something, she broke free of Char's hand as if she was crazy, and screamed: "What are you doing, what are you talking about, come and sit down first......! Kevin, what about Kevin......"

"Kevin......" Char's eyes were red, and his fingers trembled: "Kevin, he ......"

Yuria's body went limp, her face turned pale in an instant, and she stared at Char with wide eyes, watching Char take a burden from Soyt's hand, and the burden opened to reveal a helmet, a dagger, several badges, and a ...... Parchment covered in charcoal handwriting, and stains of blood on it!

Yulia rolled her eyes and fainted directly.

※※※Char carried Yulia into the bedroom of the house and put her on the bed. Soyt then quickly brought a cup of hot water and poured it into Yuria's mouth.

Looking at the furnishings of this room, it was very simple, the rough cabinets, the clad iron in the corners of the wooden tables and chairs were full of rust marks, but they were well cleaned, and it was clear that the owner of the room was very diligent and fond of cleanliness.

The only thing that showed the identity of the owner of the house was a samurai sword hanging from the wall, and a few horseshoes thrown in the corner.

It took a while for Yulia to wake up, and this time the woman woke up and looked blankly at the ceiling of the house, and Soyt next to her shouted a few times, but she didn't respond.

Char gritted her teeth, pulled Soit away, stood in front of the bed, knelt on one knee, and whispered, "Madam...... Yuria, Kevin is a hero, he died bravely, and besides, he saved my life! Your husband is the bravest and noblest man I have ever met in my life!"

He put the badges, the sword helmet, on the head of the bed. And Yulia finally moved at this time, she reluctantly sat up, but did not look at the badges, but directly grabbed the bloodstained parchment and opened it anxiously...... After looking at it for a while, tears welled up in Yulia's eyes, and the woman's hands gradually tightened, clenched the parchment into a ball, sobbing quietly, and her shoulders shrugged...... If she had cried loudly, maybe Char would have been a little better, but she was sobbing so patiently and softly, but it was like a knife, cutting Char's heart one by one.

He moved forward: "I know very well that it will be an unbearable blow to you to bring such unfortunate news to you, but I ......"

"You don't have to say it. Yulia suddenly raised her head, the woman's face was full of tears, her face was sad, and her voice was hoarse, but she had a strange strength: "You don't need to say it. ”

Her eyes finally fell on Char's face.

"I'm a Rhodria woman, and as a Rhodría woman, my mother, my grandmother, my great-grandmother, all faced things like this...... Husbands or fathers and brothers died on the battlefield...... As if this is the fate of our Rhodrian women!" Yulia continued to cry: "However, I didn't expect that I didn't marry a Rhodrian man, but Kevin still entered the Rhodria Cavalry Regiment, and I ...... It's still happening like this......"

The woman barely supported herself on the bed with her hands so that she did not fall, and she wept, tears mixed with snot.

Kevin ...... Kevin didn't know that he was going to be a father...... The last time he came home was more than half a year ago, and after he left, I found out I was pregnant...... I...... I haven't had time to tell him the news...... I don't dare, I know that he is going to fight in the wildfire field this time, he is going to go to the battlefield, I, I have never dared to tell him, I am afraid that he will be distracted on the battlefield...... I just want to wait until this fight is over and tell him...... I ......"

Char suddenly knelt down on his other leg, he knelt in front of Yulia, stretched out his hands, and held Yuria's hand tightly, Char's face muscles were twitching, and he felt a faint pain in his heart, gritting his teeth and saying, "Yuria...... Kevin is not my friend, he is my brother!!He saved my life!Since the moment he died, his blood has been with my blood!We are brothers!We are brothers!You will be my sister from now on!Your children, I will be my child's uncle, the uncle who loves children the most!!"

Finally, Yulia couldn't hold back her emotions anymore and began to cry bitterly.

※※※ Yulia cried for two hours before it gradually subsided, if it wasn't for the inspiration of Tadora, she thought of a way, and interjected next to her: "Madam, please take care of your body, don't forget that you still have a child in your belly......"

Yulia heard this, but it was more effective than hearing any consolation, she finally wiped her face vigorously, stopped crying, and several people sat silently for a while, Yulia squeezed out a smile on her face: "You, you are all Kevin's comrades-in-arms...... It's not too early, I must be hungry, I'm going to get some food out......"

How dare Char let her do it? Hurriedly helped her to lie down, and he and Soit ran to the kitchen behind to get some hot rice porridge and brought it to Yulia, who barely ate a spoonful, as if she couldn't eat it, but when she looked at her stomach, the woman frowned tightly, gritted her teeth and ate all the bowls of porridge.

"Thank you. The woman ate the porridge and rested for a while, her face was slightly better, at least not as frighteningly white as she had just been.

Subsequently, Yulia endured her grief and asked Char some questions, and asked Char to tell how Kevin died in battle, Char did not dare to say in detail, for fear of causing the other party's sadness, so she could only say a few words in general terms, and helped Yulia to lie down and rest.

Char took out a cloth bag and put it on the table, which was heavy and full of gold coins.

"This is the pension in the army...... There are also some of our comrades-in-arms, please be sure to accept them, we ......"

In fact, the turtle lied.

There were at least three hundred gold coins on this table, and the army's pension was very small, and although the other comrades-in-arms had made up some, after all, everyone was a soldier, and there was not much money to spare, and all of them added up to only seven or eight gold coins. There were fifty gold coins in it, which were given to Char privately by General Adric, who was an incorruptible general and did not have much wealth.

As for the rest, Char took out all his savings, and he was the uncle along the way, and he was entertained by local officials in the local area, and he got some benefits, and he also took them out.

Seeing that Yulia was about to refuse, Char immediately said resolutely: "I know you don't want to accept it, because no amount of money can buy back people's lives! But please don't refuse! Because this is everyone's heart, even if it is to be everyone's peace of mind, don't let everyone be upset, please accept it!!"
