PS: Thank you for the monthly pass of the fourth student in the fox family, thank you for your support!

PS: Although it was past 12 o'clock, I finally drove it out, and finally didn't break my promise......

It was late at night, and the manor was still very lively.

At the end of the avenue, several bonfires were being lit, and Cheney and a group of hunters were intently grilling large cutlets, strings of grease dripping down the golden skin into the fire, and bursting into small sparks with a crackling sound, and the enticing aroma of this attracted more people to gather in a circle and happily wait for the distribution of the roast.

There are also a lot of people around not far away, from the center of the crowd there are bursts of drums, this is the mountain people are showing their dance, several old people sit on the side and beat the small round drum in front of them, although there is only this one instrument, but it sounds not monotonous, with more than a dozen mountain people's dance steps but there is a simple and rough beauty.

In addition, there are many similar small circles on the manor avenue, and people are watching one by one with great interest, and they will not hesitate to contribute their voices, so that the whole manor is filled with bursts of cheers.

There are also people who gather on both sides of the avenue, holding wine glasses and whispering to the people around them, which is also a relaxed and comfortable way for them to relax.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of the festivities, and so was Leon, who had just gossiped with the sheriffs and representatives of the lords in several towns, and met with several veterans from all over the world, and finally had his leisure and sat down at the largest table to enjoy Jeff's food. As for Cheney, the large plate of barbecue they brought them was barely touched—it was eaten during the trip to the Black Forest.

Caterina and Erin were of course by his side, and there were almost no others who looked a little deserted. However, it may also be because many people don't want to disturb the solitude of the lord and the two girls, so they deliberately make room for a relatively quiet space.

Erin took a sip of fruit wine, according to Leon's observation, she had drunk several glasses, but she had not been unusual, but her little face had become red in the light of the lamp, and she was more charming than usual.

Caterina, on the other hand, had a glass of wine left until now. And she seemed to have drunk too much, and her eyes were foggy.

"What's wrong with you, Katarina?" the young man noticed the girl's look. He asked.

The girl turned her head to look at Li Ang, and after a while, she said slowly, "I want to find a time to go back recently, is it okay?"

"What's wrong with that?" asked Leon with a smile.

"I always feel like there's a lot of work to do, so I can't make a decision. Actually, it's best to wait until that's done......" Caterina shook her glass. Looking at the liquid slowly left on the wall of the cup, he continued: "But it's been too long, I miss my mother very much, I don't know how she has been alone during this time." ”

Li Ang held the other party's palm and said: "If you always think about doing things, there will be things waiting for you that can't be done at all, in fact, it doesn't matter if you let it go, and now is the time when the manor is at its most full, you can prepare the itinerary." Depart in a few days. ”

"Hmm," the girl replied softly.

"Ah...... Last time you said how long would it take to come back and forth?" Leon thought for a moment. Said with some embarrassment.

Caterina was amused by the young man's expression, she groaned for a moment, and said, "If you are not in a hurry...... Two months is almost enough. ”

"So long?" Li Ang frowned and said with an unhappy expression, "Didn't you say that I haven't seen you for nearly two months?"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, a chuckle of "poof" immediately came from his side.

The young man felt that he was a little negligent, he just pretended to be unhappy, just to tease Caterina and let her out of that slightly low feeling, and for a while he forgot that Erin was still beside him, and at this time, he heard the laughter of the other party that was obviously so obvious that it was absolutely deliberate, and he couldn't help but itch a little at the root of his teeth.

His eyes swept to the left, and Erin immediately lowered her head to avoid meeting him, but her shoulders were trembling slightly.

Caterina said at this time: "Two months is actually fine...... It would be faster if there was a carriage...... I was a long time away when I came. ”

Hearing this, Li Ang asked curiously, "Did you just come all the way?"

"It's not ...... I used to have a horse......" Caterina said as her face turned red and her voice grew lower.

"And what about your horse, why haven't I seen it all this time?" Leon was even more curious.

"That...... While passing through the kingdom of Nova, I helped several refugees defend themselves against bandits, and the result was ...... The bandits were driven away by me, but the horses and luggage were nowhere to be found...... The refugees also ran away. ”

When the girl said this, Leon and Erin were both stunned.

"And then?"

Before Leon could speak, Erin asked directly.

"And I'll come all the way," Caterina said, her head down, pretending to run the hair loose from her forehead with one hand, but hiding her face.

"That's it......" Li Ang sighed, no wonder when he first saw Katarina, he always felt that this girl was very short of money, it turned out that she was yin when she was doing good deeds - according to Li Ang's judgment, this is definitely a good show directed and acted by the bandits, it is estimated that the upright and kind knight girl who traveled by herself for the first time in her life will be fooled like this, right?

Of course, the young man did not appeal to his thoughts, and Erin was quite silent, but the man and woman exchanged a knowing look.

"Comrade Xiao is still too young...... "Leon sighed in his heart, and then he asked, "Where is this Nova Kingdom?"

"Ah...... I don't know, you know I'm a man with a terrible sense of direction," Caterina said embarrassedly.

"It's not far from the northeast of Caesar's Empire, it's a small country," Erin whispered.

"Oh...... Forget it, what's in the bag?" asked Leon.

"It doesn't matter that I have about five gold coins and some clothes with me, the only thing is a scarf that my mother gave me before I left, which she knitted with her own hands, and it is a pity to throw it away," said Katerina, "but they can't be found, so that's all they can do." ”

"Dare to rob my woman's things...... I'm tired of living, aren't I? But it's a bit far away, and after so long, I guess I can't find it for a long time. ”

Li Ang thought silently in his heart: "I didn't expect that the girl who looked so strong at that time also had such a sad experience......" (To be continued......)
