Chapter 424: Watson Gill's Evil Deeds
The old woman walked over to Sujira respectfully, and Sujira saw the confusion on Li Yunyang's face, and explained in a somewhat embarrassed whisper: "I did come here before, but it was five or six years ago, and I came here because I was lost, and I was very anxious at that time, how can I remember anything else." ”
The old woman was a little excited, trembling her hands, touched it in her arms for a long time, found a neat handkerchief, carefully handed it to Sujira and said: "Miss Lord, I have kept this handkerchief all the time, I have not used it, I think only a lady like you can use this kind of precious silk fabric, if I use it, it will be a pity to have such a good thing." ”
Sujira hurriedly waved her hand and handed the handkerchief back to the old woman: "No, you can keep it, this is what I gave you, how can I take it back." ”
Sujira's face was a little hot, and the handkerchief that the old woman handed her was nothing more than an ordinary silk handkerchief, which was not worth a few dollars. She had long forgotten why she gave the handkerchief to the old woman, but she didn't expect the old woman to keep the handkerchief very well, and thought about returning it to her.
Seeing that Sujira really didn't want this handkerchief, the old woman carefully put it away, and said to her, "Miss Lord, you wait a minute. ”
As she spoke, the old woman began to knock on the door one by one, and patiently explained to the villagers: "It's not Watson Gill, it's the young lady of Lord Parvas who came, it's the little girl who was lost six years ago, let's come out and have a look." ”
Unexpectedly, the old woman only said such a sentence, and everyone who heard her voice opened the door of the room, and all thought of Sujra's approach.
The villagers in the village stared at Sugil for a long time, and then nodded again and again and said: "Yes, it is the lost lord, the eldest lady, she is a good person, when our village suffered a drought, she sent two years' rations to our whole village, and they are all high-quality polished rice!"
"That is, I also remember this incident, at that time, the old man, I was hungry and I only had my last breath left, if it weren't for the kindness of Miss Lord, I am afraid that I would have become a pile of loess. After all, Miss Lord is still my savior!"
"It's not just food, the eldest lady saw that we were poor at that time, and gave each of us ten gold coins, which was the first time I saw so much money in my life!"
......
All kinds of praise and praise came out of the mouths of the villagers, and Sujira's pretty face turned red, and she slowly recalled what had happened.
Six years ago, Sujra's mother died, but she never believed that her mother was dead, and spent her days crying and shouting everywhere looking for her, and once slipped out of the small town of Pavas without the servants noticing.
After running around for a day and a night, she finally fainted by the river, was found by a passing villager and rescued her, and then Sherdeken found her.
Sujira, who was young and kind at the time, saw that the villagers were living in poverty, so she begged her father to give them some money and food. Sherdeken doted on this daughter very much, and because Parvas was very rich, he did this good thing in the name of his daughter.
However, not to mention Sujra, even Shierdeken had forgotten about this matter, but he didn't expect these villagers to remember it.
Just as Sugila sighed, the old woman drove away the people around her, and said in a tone of instruction: "Don't look at it, hurry back and cook for the lady lord, didn't you hear that the lady lord is still hungry?
The villagers were immediately full of shame, and without even saying a word of explanation, they hurriedly went home to cook, and after a while, they saw smoke rising from every house.
Recalling the sad past, Sujila's face flushed and gradually became cold, in order not to let Li Yunyang see her weakness, she deliberately walked towards the entrance of the village with a straight face, and said without looking back: "I'll go and ask my father to bring the soldiers in, you just wait here!"
How could Li Yunyang not see the change in Sujira's feelings, but he didn't have the intention of catching up and comforting Sujira, the war was not over, and he really didn't want to pay attention to these children's affections.
It's just that Li Yunyang is a little puzzled, why in this village, there are only old people, women and children, but he doesn't see a young man, even middle-aged people.
He told the old woman about this question, but the old woman smiled bitterly, and bypassed the subject, saying: "I will also cook for you now, and wait for you to rest for the night, and then I will ask the villagers to prepare some food for you tomorrow, so that you will not go hungry on the road." ”
Seeing that the old woman was trying her best to avoid this topic, Li Yunyang's expression froze, and he thought of something unacceptable, and he hurriedly asked, "Did Watson Gill arrest all the young men in the village?"
"Well, they've come three times, and they've not spared even fifteen or sixteen-year-old children. It was not the old woman who answered, but the old man who had entered the house with the little boy in his arms just now, only to hear him sigh: "My three sons and eldest grandson were captured by Watson's bastard half a year ago, and they haven't come back yet!"
Agreeing to get closer and closer to Li Yunyang's conjecture, his face became even more ugly, and he still asked unwillingly: "Watson Gill took them away, do you want them to go to war?"
This is the worst answer that Li Yunyang guessed, if the young adults in this village have become peasant soldiers under Watson Gil and are sent to the battlefield of Parvas, he doesn't know what mentality to use to face these simple villagers.
The old man glanced at Li Yunyang with strange eyes and explained: "Fighting? Which turn is it, Watson's bastard territory, there are a lot of people who want to work for him, even if he selects peasant soldiers, he will not choose people from our small villages, it must be people from his territory." ”
Hearing this, Li Yunyang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little uneasy, and asked again: "Then I don't know what Watson and they are trying to do when they arrest people?"
"You're not from the town of Parvas, are you?"
Being constantly questioned by Li Yunyang, the old man began to have some doubts about whether he was a soldier of Parvas, and after hesitating for a while, he snorted and said: "What else can you do? Watson that bastard wants to replace the status of Pavas Town, and has been expanding his territory since half a year ago, saying that he will not only build his territory into a commercial town, but also build a military fortress. My son and grandson were taken by them to repair the wall. ”
It seems that this Watson Gil is still a very ambitious person, Li Yunyang now regrets a little, if he had known these things in advance, he would have cleaned up Watson Gil with a sword at the Parvas meeting, how could there be so many troubles.
However, things have come to this point, Li Yunyang is too lazy to think too much, if within three days, the imperial reinforcements do not come, he plans to transfer troops from his own territory, no matter what, he has to solve Watson Gil as much as possible, and he must not be allowed to develop and grow like this!
The old man seems to have been lonely for a long time, no one to talk to him, although he was still a little impatient with Li Yunyang's questioning before, but now he complained to Li Yunyang again: "There are more than 1,000 people in our village, and we old people, orphans and widows are the only ones who have been arrested. ”
As he spoke, the old man pointed to a small hill at the west end of the village, and said in a desolate tone: "Do you see the graves over there, they are all the corpses of the villagers in our village who were captured as hard laborers. ”
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, he seemed to recall some unbearable past, and suddenly scolded angrily: "Watson, that bastard, his subordinates are a group of miscellaneous people who kill a thousand knives, every time they come to our village to arrest someone, there will be a woman missing in the village, and in two days she will be found naked on the beach by the river, my little granddaughter died like that, those guys who have lost their conscience, she is only eleven years old!"
This sentence instantly ignited Li Yunyang's anger, and as soon as his hand was on the hilt of the sword, the old man in front of him suddenly knelt in front of him, kowtowing and pleading: "You are the husband of Miss Pavas, right?
"I promise you, I promise you!" Li Yunyang hurriedly grabbed the old man and stopped him from kowtowing, anyway, he had already made up his mind to get rid of Watson Gil, and doing what the old man prayed for was just by the way.
And after listening to Watson-Gill's evil deeds, Li Yunyang decided that even if Watson-Gill surrendered in the future, he would never let Watson-Gill and any of his subordinates go! Such a scumbag beast is not worthy of living in this world at all!
Li Yunyang picked up the old man and assured him: "Please rest assured, the Empire's reinforcements are coming, and the end of Watsongill is coming soon." ”
"Really, that's great, I'm going to tell the other villagers about this!" "The old man was so excited just now that he forgot that Li Yunyang was defeated by Watson Gill's army, so he had to flee here, but he didn't expect the empire to send reinforcements to support Parvas's army, and he instantly saw the hope of revenge.
Sure enough, when the villagers heard that Li Yunyang would lead the imperial reinforcements, rescue their families, and avenge the dead villagers, they all took out the dried meat and ale stored at home one by one, and cooked a sumptuous dinner for the soldiers of Parvas.
But Li Yunyang was not in the mood to eat the food prepared by these villagers, but put his mind on how to fight this counterattack, Watson Gil, must pay the due price!
