"The sword has been recovered, you can send it to the guards of the town in the afternoon, and in the evening we went to the tavern for a drink, and I heard that the proprietress had just returned from a good batch of wine. Candita, who walked to the door, turned to Bernie and said, "This boss lady has been widowed for many years, or you can get a couple!" After speaking, Bernie ran out without waiting for Bernie to get angry, leaving Bernie stunned in place.

"That's a good idea!" Bernie thought to himself, and he packed up and prepared to deliver the lost sword to the guards.

After Ike escaped from the house, he came directly to Lance's house, every time he was punished, Uncle Candita would go to Bernie with wine, and then Lance's family would prepare more food very tacitly, Icke's meal was very large, and Aunt Key's craftsmanship was really good!

"Let's go, Ike, my dad ordered me to cut down three more trees today, you have to do me a favor!"

When Lance finished eating, he carried the bag that Keith had prepared, picked up an axe and handed it to Ike, said hello to his mother, and went out.

"Thank you, Aunt Keith!"

After eating, Ike politely thanked Aunt Case, he had no mother since he was a child, and he was a good baby in front of Aunt Case, he took the axe handed by Lance and followed.

"Lance, do you think Uncle Candita can convince Bernie this time?"

Carrying an axe and a straw pole ripped from the side of the road in his mouth, Ike asked Lance absentmindedly.

"I don't know, but I don't have any hope, I don't know why Uncle Bernie won't let you practice swordsmanship, Candita just keeps asking me to cut down trees, and I want to practice swordsmanship too!"

When Lance said this, his spirit was a little sluggish, so he put a hand on Ike's shoulder, but Ek was slightly half a head taller than Lance, which was very uncomfortable to ride, so he simply dropped his hand and dragged the axe on the ground.

"But I heard Grandpa Laurie say that we will definitely become warriors, but, like this, we are beating iron and cutting trees every day, so it's strange that we can become warriors!"

Ike was a little frustrated, and he also learned from Lance to drop his hand and drag the axe on the ground, and the two of them looked a little funny when they were down, but no one saw it.

Under the light of twilight, Lance and Ike dragged the last three trees to the village, it was not yet summer, but at this time Lance and Eke's clothes were already soaked with sweat, and when they passed the old elm tree at the entrance of the village, they saw Grandpa Laurie who liked to bask in "twilight", and the two put down the trees and greeted the old poet enthusiastically!

"Grandpa Laurie"

"Grandpa Laurie"

Lance and Ike shouted together, and when they heard the voice, the old poet opened his slightly closed eyes, and beckoned to the two of them kindly, motioning for them to sit down!

Lance and Ike told Grandpa Laurie what had happened today, and it was kind of a bitter spit, the old poet was used to this situation for a long time, and the other villagers couldn't see it, could he still not see the little actions of Bernie and Candita?

It's all for the kids.

The old poet only smiled when he heard the complaints of Lance and Ike, and although the two little ones had grown taller and stronger, he still touched their heads as they had done when they were children, and said kindly: "You will definitely become warriors! Believe me, don't give up on your dreams!"

Every time the old poet told Lance and Ike this, they got used to it, and thought it was Grandpa Laurie comforting them.

The last rays of twilight are about to disappear into the horizon, and with Grandpa Laurie bidding farewell, Lance and Ike must haul the wood back!

......

In the tavern, there are only Bernie and Candita, so the proprietress who has been widowed for many years is not busy, so she sits with them to drink and chat.

The proprietress had already been interested in Bernie, but the rough man didn't know if he understood or didn't like it, so he didn't respond.

It has not been easy for him to bring up Ike alone over the years, since this man came to live in the village more than ten years ago, his character is honest and warm-hearted, and he is very popular with the people in the village, but he is a little fierce to Ike.

Sometimes I watched him drink silently alone, and his expression was a little melancholy, and then he stared at it carefully for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more he tasted it!

"Bernie, look at the food you've cooked, you can't eat it, poor Ike!"

Candita suddenly talked about Bernie's unpalatable cooking, and the proprietress and Bernie were inexplicable, Bernie didn't answer, he did not do as well as Ike, although Icke did the same bad, just a little bit better than him!

"Candita is right, Ike is such a poor boy and gets beaten by you all the time!"

The proprietress who opened the tavern sat with them for a while and felt something, Bernie was squirming today, and Candita was always talking about it, and she was shrewd enough to understand what was going on at once, and she happily cooperated with Candita's conversation.

The three of them chatted with each other, but Bernie was like a big girl, talking less and shy, and he didn't dare to look at the proprietress and Candita, which made the proprietress and Candita feel funny!

"Chariti, I guess Lance's kid has come back at this time, today he will be punished for cutting down a few more trees, I will go back and check first, you continue to drink, the wine money is Bernie's!"

Candita took a sip of the rest of the wine and winked at Bernie, smiling playfully.

This undisguised action naturally fell into the eyes of the proprietress as well, and the proprietress just covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled and said to Candita: "Today's wine money is mine!"

"You're welcome, Chariti!haha......" Candita said, ignoring Bernie, who looked a little uncomfortable, and Shi Shiran got up and left the tavern.

Bernie also knew that Candita was creating opportunities for him to be alone with Charity, but the rough man, who was a little shy in terms of emotion, didn't know what to say for a while, and just took a small sip of his own wine.

Chariti looked a little funny, this man was really cute, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became......

"Chariti, bring me a drink!" Some people began to come to drink and chat, and the proprietress was about to get busy.

"Burnie, you drink first, I'm going to greet the guests!" the proprietress said to Bernie and got up to greet the guests, and everyone in the village who loved to drink knew that Chariti had just returned from some good wine yesterday, and there was not much place left in the tavern in a while.

......

"Bernie, is it alone? May I sit here?" the old poet asked politely, gesturing to the empty spot next to Bernie.

Bernie got up and took the lute from the old poet's hand, and motioned for the old man to take a seat!

"Charity, give Uncle Laurie a drink!"

Bernie asked the old poet for a drink, and many people in the tavern were very willing to invite the old poet to drink, and if no one asked, the proprietress was happy not to take the old poet's money, because as long as the old poet told a story, everyone would have a few more drinks!

The old poet's body was not as strong as in previous years, and after sitting down, he rested for a while before saying to Bernie, "It's time to teach the children swordsmanship!"

Chariti took a glass of wine and gently placed it in the old poet's hand, and after the old poet took a sip, he smiled and gently patted Bernie's shoulder, and Bernie's insightful eyes saw that there was nothing to hide.

Bernie wasn't surprised, it would be strange if the well-informed old poet hadn't seen that he had been a mercenary!

"Uncle Laurie, I ......"

Before Bernie could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the old poet: "Everyone has his own story, and it's good to know some of the stories! Lance and Ike are two good boys, and they are also two good seedlings, don't mistake them both!"

The old poet looked at Bernie meaningfully, and the last words finally made Bernie completely determined!

"Thank you, Uncle Laurie. ”

Bernie sincerely thanked the old poet.

Over the years, the old poet has watched the two children Lance and Ike grow up, and he is also very grateful to the old man for helping to take care of the children, telling them stories and teaching knowledge, it can be said that everyone in the village respects the old poet from the bottom of their hearts.

And just like that, before Ike and Lance knew it, they were finally allowed to learn swordsmanship.

The benefits of striking iron and cutting trees in the past few years will soon be reflected in future exercises, of course, this is already a follow-up!

When Candita returned home, she saw the two children sitting on the threshold, with their heads in their hands, listless and in a daze, Candita thought it was funny and wanted to tease them, so she came to the two children with a serious face: "Ike, Bernie today...... Hey......"

With a deep sigh at the end, Candita felt proud in her heart, this acting acting, even she had to believe it.

Hearing Candita's words, Ike and Lance woke up from their daze, and Lance, who knew Candita very well, squinted at Candita, and tacitly did not expose him.

But Ike was a little nervous, secretly worried, could it be that Bernie was really angry this time?

So he asked Candita, "Uncle Candita, Bernie...... Is he really angry?"

Seeing Ike's nervousness, Candita, who had a serious face, suddenly laughed: "Bernie, he has allowed you to learn swordsmanship!"

Ike and Lance were stunned for a moment, and the moment they woke up, they jumped up excitedly, and then the two children pounced on Candita together, now that the two children have grown up, they can no longer be picked up with one hand like when they were children, and now Candita can only bend down slightly and put his arms around the shoulders of the two children!

"Thank you, Uncle Candita!"

"Dad, you're really there!"

Finally having a chance to fulfill his wish, the two children glanced at each other, and the light in their eyes provoked a hearty laugh from Candita.

Keith, who was staying in the house, also smiled happily when he saw a few of them playing!

"Kids, it's time to eat first!"

Keith finished his meal and called a few people into the house.

"Dad, there's one thing I don't understand, why Uncle Bernie didn't let Ike practice swordsmanship before, and you didn't let me practice swordsmanship?"

Lance asked the question by swallowing the food in his mouth, and Lance had asked the same question before, but whenever he asked it, Candita always said that she would tell him later!

Since then, it has been delayed until now.

"Bernie really doesn't want Ike to practice swordsmanship, but Bernie and I have been using our own methods to train your foundation! You look at Ike's sturdy body, it's all hammered and hammered, and you, in the past few years, let you cut down trees, do you think it's really just to let you cut trees to subsidize your family?"

Candita put down the cutlery in her hand and spoke to Lance seriously, then looked at Ike, who was listening to him, and apparently said this to Ike.

"As for the question of why Bernie didn't let Ike practice swordsmanship, Bernie will tell you personally in the future! The training in the past few years has allowed you to lay a good foundation, only with a solid foundation, you will make great progress in practicing swordsmanship in the future, if Bernie still doesn't let you practice swordsmanship this year, then I will also teach you quietly!"

Candita had a smile on her lips, as if she had known that this would be the case!

Hearing Candita's words, Ike and Lance were really a little excited in their hearts, it turned out that Bernie and Candita had been training them for the past few years, no wonder Candita was just pointing by the side every time she asked herself to cut down trees, but she never helped.

The two children fully understood their parents' good intentions at this time, but they were more happy in their hearts.

They can finally fulfill their "warrior dream"!
