Following the traces left by the jackal when it came just now, I found the place where I had just slept in the open, and the scene was a mess.

And they also took the few clothes they had brought for Ralph, and it's hard to imagine that some gnolll in the clothes I gave Ralph would appear in front of people one day, and if I had seen them, I think I would have laughed.

I really laugh when I think about it.

My poor horse is dead! I can't even remember how many horses I've died. The large pool of blood by the tree showed how they had torn the poor horse apart. I followed the trail of blood and looked into the woods, and if I followed it, I would have found their den. But I don't want to do that right now.

I remembered this place, and the general direction in which they dragged my horse was clear. I'll talk about revenge later.

The shoulder is still hurting, and it hurts so badly that the most important thing now is to get the wound cleaned up as soon as possible. So I tore the inner layer of clothing into strips of cloth and bandaged it briefly, at least not to bleed, so that the wound would not continue to be exposed.

Bandaged and I hurried out of the woods and back onto the avenue.

It's impossible to go back, I've gone too far from Shining Gold. But I don't know how far I have to go to get to the village.

I had no choice but to gamble.

I continued to walk along this path, but the more I walked, the more uncomfortable I became, the more thirsty I became, and the more thirsty I became, the more dizzy I became. I kept looking back, hoping that a car or someone on a horse would give me a ride. I'm not feeling well right now.

After walking for a long time, not only did I not see the village, but there was no one on the road, I didn't dare to faint, I didn't have the luxury of fainting in this kind of place, and someone happened to come to save me. I was worried that if I fainted on this road at night, I would probably end up like my horse.

I walked west, watching the sun set over the forest, and the western sky turned from red to black.

To my delight, I finally found the street sign on the side of the road. The village in front should not be far away.

It gave me a lot of comfort and support, and I wanted to go faster, but I couldn't. It was like lead on his legs, but his head was a little fluttery.

I was so happy to see the light of the fire in the village, but it was already night, and lighting the lights was a blessing for me. No matter how difficult life is, it's a home after all.

It's already night, it is estimated that they have all finished dinner and are ready to go to bed, making villains to make villains, several dogs in the village are barking, and now I hear the barking of dogs, why am I so irritable.

At this time, I was already very uncomfortable, so there was no need to worry too much, seeing that there was a family whose house was quite decent, I walked directly over and knocked on his door, and his house was still lit.

The pain in my right shoulder was getting worse and worse, and it hurt so much that I gritted my teeth.

After a few moments, there was the sound of footsteps in the room, and the door was opened. is a middle-aged woman in her 30s.

When she saw me, her face immediately became nervous, and she looked at me warily. "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm hurt, I need help." I say.

"Ah......h You ......"

"I'm a soldier and I've been attacked." I say.

She looked embarrassed, but after her nervous eyes glanced again, she flashed back, "Come in!" ”

Entering the house, this room is not large, and there is a bonfire in the middle of the square hall on the first floor. A small child sat next to the fire, looking at me curiously.

"Thank you, ma'am!" I didn't go inside.

Her hands were nervously out of place, and she looked at me. "You...... What do you mean? ”

"I ...... You...... I mean, it's fine here, I don't go into the house, I just need to redress the wound. I said.

She was stunned for a moment, and after looking me in the eye for a few seconds, she said, "It's okay, come in." My husband is also a soldier. She said.

Since she had given me permission, I went to the square hall inside, and it was still very warm, and the light from the fire illuminated the room.

I was slumped on the ground, my eyelids a little heavy!

"How did you do that?" She asked me.

"It's the gnolls, those mongrels attacked me, just this morning."

"Gnoll ......," she glanced at me.

"You've heard of it." I asked her.

"Yes......" she turned and walked out.

I looked at the little boy next to me, who was holding a doll and staring at me with big eyes.

I guess the smile that is squeezed out now will scare him, and it will not be good if he cries. So I quickly lowered my head.

The woman returned, carrying a wooden basin and a towel.

"Can you take your clothes off?" She asked.

In addition to the pain, my right arm is a little numb in my fingers, and my right shoulder hurts when I take off my clothes. I didn't dare to look at her, I just gritted my teeth and tried to take off the clothes that were on my upper body. She reached out and pulled my clothes off.

Half of the clothes were already stained red with blood.

Remove the strip of cloth, it will hurt me and smash something. Strips of cloth stuck to my flesh. The woman moistened me with a towel dipped in warm water and slowly tore it off for me.

"Oh my God." She screamed softly.

"What's wrong?" I turned my head to look.

I thought something was wrong, but it turned out to be bare bones, and the whole piece of skin was torn for me. The mouths of these monsters are really ruthless!

The woman looked at me with a sad face.

"What's wrong?" I looked at her.

"I didn't expect it to hurt so badly......" Her words made me feel ominous.

"Is there a doctor in the village?" I asked.

"Yes!" That's when she reacted.

"Take me there......" I just wanted to stand up.

"You're waiting here." She picked up the little boy and rushed out.

After a while, there were footsteps outside the house, the voices of a man and a woman. I opened my eyes and turned my head to see an old man in his sixties walking in with a suitcase.

I didn't speak, he crouched down next to me, looked at my shoulder, and said, "What a bite!" ”

"Looks like you've seen anything worse than this." I say.

"Yes." He glanced at me. "No matter how serious it is, it's already dead."

"Am I alive?"

He didn't say a word, and pulled out a vial from the box. "Grit your teeth and endure a little, it hurts, but you might survive."

It may ......

The powder was sprinkled on the wound, and two seconds later I almost jumped as if I had been slashed by a knife.

"Hold back! It won't hurt so much later. He said.

Wait! Ah, this psychological comfort is useless. And it's not a wait at all, the feeling lasted almost an hour, I guess!

I was already sweating, and I hadn't eaten, and I felt like I was going to collapse.

Wait until the pain really relieves slowly...... In fact, when he was a little numb, he leaned over and said, "Hmm...... Almost. ”

As he spoke, the old man took out some herbs from the box, smashed them, and pressed them against the wound. It hurts too much, but now it doesn't hurt that much.

"Give him something to drink." He said to the woman. "Hey, lad, you're going to be sweating a lot tonight, and there's a chance you'll be in pain again, so you'll be fine if you do."

"Does it hurt?" I asked.

"No, it won't." He said.

"Thank you." I say. "And you." I looked at her with the baby in her arms. "I'm sorry, I don't even know your name yet."

"Yuna." She said. "What about you?"

"Bill Max." I say.

"Which unit are you from?" The old man asked me.

"I'm the reinforcement commander in Alterac." I say.

"Ahh The old man cried out in surprise, and he looked at me in disbelief. "You're a northerner! Reinforcements! Oh my God, you...... I'll need to report it to the fortress immediately. ”

"I was about to go there when I ran into a gnoll on the way." I said, "How far is this from the Westspring Fortress?" ”

"It'll be there in one morning." He said. "But you're hurt now."

"It shouldn't matter, I think I can still ride a horse." I held out my left hand, "There's another good one." ”

"Yuna, your husband is at the Westspring Fortress, I'll send this Bill over tomorrow morning, do you need me to bring it for you?"

"Clothes ......," she was about to put down the child when the old man stopped her, "I'll come to you tomorrow morning, and you, Lord Bill." He nodded, and prepared to go out with his bag. Drink plenty of water, Lord Bill. He looked at me and left.

The room was quiet again, and the child was already asleep in his mother's arms. I leaned over the fire and looked at the woman. "Thank you, Lady Yuna."

"You'll be fine." She said. "Don't be afraid of Dr. Gantt's words just now, he speaks like this, and I never understand how funny his humor is." "You're not going to die," she said. ”

"I ...... Uh, thank you for your help. "I smiled at her, and I actually wanted to ask her if she would get rabies." Do you often have gnolls around here? ”

"There used to be, when I was a kid. But now there were far fewer of them, and King Baratheon had cleared most of the gnolls. She said.

"These things are really ruthless." I said, "They killed my horse, and I was lucky to have escaped." It can stand up and run on the ground with four paws. ”

"Indeed...... Scary enough. She looked at the child in her arms.

"Is your husband a soldier in the West Springs?"

"Yes...... His name is Reinier. In the fortress of West Springs was a corporal. She said. What about you? ”

"I'm just a ...... Rank and file officer. I said.

"You are Altranq's reinforcements, from the north, we all know, it was you who helped us fight, and some time ago Brightwood said that you had a new weapon to defeat the orcs." She looked at me with a smile.

"It was shipped from Kurtilas and the north." I say. "It just happened to come in handy."

"Actually, we ordinary people are still very grateful to you in our hearts."

"I'm glad you say that, not to thank you for this war...... You may have even more tragic ...... in the future Well. "I don't want to say too much, it's useless to say it.

"Actually, we don't have a good impression of you northerners." She said. "Of course you're good."

"Why this misunderstanding?"

"A long, long time ago, when there was some civil strife or something like something in our kingdom, we actually asked the north for help, but then the king of the north never sent troops to help, and we actually know these things."

"It's not that we don't want to...... Well, we're still willing to help you, but ...... You also know that the king's decision-making ...... We can't do anything about it. "What can I say?

"I didn't expect you guys to come!" She said, "Actually, when you first came...... There are also people in the village who say that they don't have much hope. You guys...... It seems that there are not many people. ”

"There are not many soldiers, but there are fine, and there will be no more, but brave." I'm going to give her a good talk.

"Really, you changed our minds at the Battle of Brightwood."

"Your husband didn't go."

"No......," her voice dimmed. Actually, I don't want him to ......."

"Ha, every man who goes to war is someone's son, whose husband, or whose father. I understand, I hope the war will end soon! I said.
