0295 Ground for Ann Will and Arya
Harrenhal is on the northern shore of Lake God's Eye.
Will and his party came to the lake from Harrenhal, and in front of them was an endless blue water, and Big Gilly thought that he was seeing the sea.
Standing on the shore, looking into the distance, the lake is like a piece of blue jade, and you can't see where the Thousand Faces Island is.
They need a ship.
There is a village not far away.
Will, Bolon, Angay, Big Gilly, and Tyrion walked towards the village.
When I got closer, I saw the wooden fence and fence of the village, and I saw a few boats by the lake.
With a whoop, dozens of crows flew up from a few trees on the side of the road in front.
Approaching, more than a dozen people were hanged from trees, men and women, old and young.
Most of them, their eyes and faces, were pecked by crows.
Looking at their clothes, they are all ordinary people in the village.
Some of the corpses were black and rotten, emitting an unpleasant putrid stench.
"Good job done by Lannister. Angai said on the reined horse.
"Lord Will, I guess there are no more people left in the village. Polon said.
"We should bury them. Big Jili said.
Tyrion agreed.
He rode forward, and several children hanging from the trees were as tall as him, some of them with multiple sword wounds.
"These people are cruel. Ange said.
"Tyrion, is this your chivalry in the West!" said Big Gilly coldly.
"This is war, girl!" said Boron, who looked indifferent.
He began to 'appreciate' killing at the age of nine. The slaughter of the village is too ordinary and trivial for war.
Tyrion said, "Big Gilly, I didn't do it. ”
He knew that if his father did such a thing, his father's subordinates would naturally do it. Every knight swore an oath to protect the weak and not to kill innocent women and children. - But Tywin Lannister likes to kill all his enemies in order to intimidate the living. His subordinates naturally have the same style as him.
Everyone dismounted, dug a pit and buried people.
As soon as they entered the village, more crows flew out of the houses one by one, croaking and flying into the sky. The stench of death was in the air, blood and corpses could be seen everywhere, and stumps and traces of battle could be seen everywhere.
The villagers against the Lannister army, that was a one-sided massacre.
Will said, "Put the bodies together and cremate them." ”
"Lord Will, there are still many fishing villages ahead, and we can't finish it. ”
"Didn't anyone escape?" said Big Gilly.
"Somebody's got to get away, girl. Bronn laughed.
"The Lannisters have been driven away, and they should be back too. Big Jili said.
"The war is not over, and those who fled have gone to King's Landing. Tyrion said.
Wherever there is a war, the king's realm and the people of the vicinity flock to the place of refuge, it is King's Landing.
"Tyrion, you Lannisters of the West did this, what do you say?" said Bronn.
"People die too much, and burials are too time-consuming, so I follow Lord Will's suggestion and cremate them. Tyrion said.
"Is it this one village or multiple villages along the lake?" said Bolon, in a reluctant tone.
"The Lannisters will not go around to the south side of the lake, they will do evil things only to the north. There are only a few villages as far as our eye can see. Tyrion said.
"I really should have brought an extra team out. Angay said.
"Good idea, Lord Will, we should tell Lord Eddard Stark of Harrenhal about the village, and have him send his troops out to clean up the mess in the village, while we find a good boat and go to Thousand Faces Island in the lake. Poron Road.
Will agreed: "Angai, you ride to Harrenhal as fast as you can." ”
Angay leaves.
"Leave the affairs of the village to Master Eddard Stark, and we'll go to the lake and look for the big boats." ”
The Lake is too wide, and when there is no calm water, the lake is turbulent. The Divine Eye Lake and the Tearstain Lake are both one of the headwaters of the Blackwater River in King's Landing. Water from a number of small streams and rivers in the vicinity flows into the Divine Eye Lake.
Will knew that there were people who could see everything on the Thousand Faces Island in the Lake of God's Eye.
"Bury the people first, then find the boat. Will said.
Not long after, Eddard Stark arrived with his army, and at the sound of an order, the cavalry divided into three teams and went to several nearby villages to collect the corpses, clean up the bloodstains, and reorganize some of the manor's houses.
After some time, news came out that the situation had stabilized and that the villagers who had fled would return.
"Hey, Will, I'll go with you. Arya approached Will with two wolves, "I'm going to learn from you the Wind Spirit Sword Technique, as well as the Face-Changing Magic." ”
Will smiled.
He liked Arya's energy.
The little girl is different.
The lady rubbed back and forth between Will's legs, in a state of intimacy.
Will said, "Arya, I can't take you to the Divine Eye Lake this time, the lake is too wide, maybe we won't be able to find Thousand Faces Island." The water of the lake is treacherous and dangerous. ”
"I'm not afraid!"
"I know, but you should go back to Eagle's Nest. Will said.
"Why? The Lannisters of the West have fled, who can threaten Eagle's Nest?"
"Your aunt, Lysa Tully. Will whispered, "Arya, go back to Eagle's Nest City, don't look with your eyes, look with your heart, you will find that danger is everywhere." ”
Arya stared intently at Will.
In Will's many prophecies, both his father and mother respected Will, believed in his prophecies, and were willing to take Will's advice.
"You should tell my father. Arya said.
"Lord Ed is a sincere man, and he is not good at intrigues and sinister aspects of people's hearts. But when it comes to leading an army into battle, calling on his subjects, leading warriors, being loyal to honor, and fearless of hardships and dangers, no one can compare with him. Eagle's Nest is not Winterfell, there are more people who owe Lysa Tully, everyone also recognizes her as the Lord of the Vale, and the lady is not with Sansa, if anything changes, what if Sansa and Catelyn are in danger?"
"Do you see any prophecies?" Arya asked, her voice as sharp as the narrow sword at her waist.
"Go back to Eagle's Nest with two wolves, this is my advice to you. ”
"I want to go to the West to fight. ”
"If the Western Frontier is ready, the Golden Tooth City alone will not be able to take it. Will said, "The war will not end without a year and a half." Return to the Eagle's Nest, or return to Winterfell with Mother Sansa. ”
"Why don't you tell your father?"
"He is the commander of the three armies of the Riverlands, the North, and the Valley, and cannot be distracted. Will said. In fact, these things were told to Eddard, and he could only figure out Lysa Tully's thoughts with the heart of a gentleman.
"You're thinking too much. Arya said, "I'm going with you." ”
"No!" Will refused.
*
In the afternoon, Will left Bronn to guard the horses in the village, and he boarded the boat with Tyrion, Angay, and Big Gilly, and several valley soldiers who could row boats were requisitioned by Will, and the group determined the direction and went to the lake in search of Thousand Faces Island.
