Kidnapping All Mankind - Chapter 270
Middle Ages, April 3, 0001.
In the narrow valley, a team of more than ten people is slowly moving forward.
A few dozen steps in front of the team, somewhere just above the mountain spring covered by the steep slopes and trees above, a man in leather armor wiped off the sweat from his forehead, turned over and dismissed the other, respectfully respected the man standing by , And quickly sent to a good mountain spring.
The hearty mountain spring quickly drove away fatigue and summer heat. The man in leather armor breathed a sigh of relief and handed the wooden bowl to the man who still stood respectfully waiting. The man in leather armor looked forward. And asked, “Ante, how far is it?”
Ante hurriedly pointed his fingers and pulled all the fingers of a whole palm. He replied, “Walk through another slap and then …” Then, Ante clamped the wooden bowl with his arm, and then used Teng The palm that came out was slammed twice: “… After two more turns, I went to the village of Akeli, Master Harvey.”
“Ha, good memory, in the end it is the messenger …” Master Harvey smiled and patted Ante’s shoulder: “Go drink some water and ask the people behind you to hurry up after drinking.”
Hearing the command, Ante quickly squatted to the mountain spring and took a few sips of water quickly. Ante stood up, opened his palms and fingers, and waved toward the dusty and tired team behind him, shouting loudly: “Everyone Work harder, go through another slap turn, go through two more turns, and you will be in the village of Akeli! “
The master’s gaze and the encouragement of the messenger immediately increased the speed of the team.
However, it took only tens of seconds. At the last position of the entire team, a small figure suddenly took a nap, and another similar small figure beside him reached out to help, but was also pulled down, and the two fell at the same time. Wrestled.
Noting the movement in the back, the team returned to a few people and lifted the two who fell down. The people in front also turned around and looked back.
The speed of the team’s advance dropped again.
“Hmm …” Looking at this scene, next to the mountain spring, Master Harvey pouted, without annoyed, but sighed: “Ante, do you think that the buckwheat seeds in the village of Aikeli are doubled, will it be true? “
“I don’t know, sir.” Ante shook his head cautiously. “I’m just a stupid messenger.”
“Then you want it to be true?”
“This …” Ante raised his eyes secretly, and Master Harvey was looking into the distance. There were two small figures in that place, supporting each other, struggling but firmly following the team.
Master Harvey sighed again and replied, “I hope it is true.”
I also hope it is true, Ante replied: Otherwise, Little Green and Little Ossis really have no way to go.
As a well-informed sender, Ante is quite sure that his master, Harvey / Ogi / Akford Knight, is a rare and kind master in this world.
During the hottest year of last year, several heavy rains continued to make the reclaimed water passing by the village turn into heavy water. At that time, the parents of Xiao Gulin and Little Ossis were also faint. At a ten-step piece of pea field, I ran to the water to pick peas in the middle of the night.
As a result, they saved their troubles and went to see the Lord early, leaving all the sufferings of this world to their two children.
Master Harvey’s kindness, exempted from death tax, exempted from grace tax, and exempted bull fodder. He also gave Xiao Gelin and Ossis a full three sermons interval, allowing them to continue working on the original land. As long as the work is done in a similar way-even if it is done sloppily, and then let everyone sigh-they will not take it back for the time being, let the two little guys continue to farm.
Unfortunately, it is probably the master who wants to reunite this family. The luck of Xiao Gelin and Little Ossis is bad. Buckwheat fields have worms, pea fields collapse, and even fallow pastures have been completely burned by the fire. .
In this way, in the winter, Master Harvey kindly gave two altar peas, and they were specifically allowed to go to the mountain to dig the squirrel’s nest, so that Little Green and Little Ossis boiled over.
By this year, when the warming started again, the two little guys continued to work harder in the field again.
However, last year’s bad luck last year, without any accumulation in the family, this year will be even more difficult. In the summer, even the use of agricultural tools can no longer be repaired.
How to fix it?
——It is also difficult to handle the farm implements. Each time you help two little fellows to repair the farm implements in vain, the next day, Baozhun’s face is covered by the mother-in-law’s catching flowers.
——It is also difficult for the mother-in-law of the farm implement to handle. Every time two little guys go there, early in the next morning, the brightest star is still above the head. child.
This world is difficult for anyone.
Even harder.
Ante has seen more difficult times.
That was when Ant was just married.
The harvest was over that fall, and with his kindness, Ante was allowed to choose a tree on the edge of the forest as the main body of the house.
When Ante picked the trees, his wife also came to enjoy this happiness, and by the way, the wife who picked up wheat in the surrounding fields. -At this time, there is only such a dangerous place to pick up wheat ears.
When Ante selected the trees and was about to cut them, he suddenly heard his wife cry anxiously.
When he looked back, he saw a gray wolf throwing the widow’s son to the ground.
The place where the gray wolf fell over the little guy was only ten steps away from the widow and the dozens of steps away from Ante.
However, these ten steps, these dozens of steps, are so difficult.
When the widow, Ante, Ante’s wife rushed over and drove the wolf together, the little guy’s face had been pinched out of several big mouths that couldn’t stop the blood.
“Mom, it hurts.” After speaking these words in vagueness, the little boy died.
Within a few days, the widow widow was found dead under the cliff on the east, and she died in several pieces.
Although the parents went to see the lord early, and the plot was connected again, Xiao Gelin and Little Ossis survived for a year.
There is even a chance to try to find another village to take in.
Ante also saw that he could not survive for three months, and there was no place to take it in at all.
When Ante was about the same size as Little Green and Little Ossis, there was no rain in the village for three months.
During those three months, every day villagers shed tears while walking into the forest with their children.
Then came back alone.
Ante’s uncle, the messenger at the time, should arrange for the lord and the master. During that time, he was working diligently to deliver the letter between Fort Afford and other villages. In the mountain forest on the edge of the village, Ante’s The uncle saw one lost child after another, piles of tiny bones.
During that time, Unter’s uncle always avoided those lost children.
When he couldn’t avoid it, even if he was in danger of being punished by his grandfathers, or even running out of food, he would stay still until the children who could never go home went away by themselves or turned into a pile of bones.
After that period of time, when the rain fell again in the sky, Ante’s uncle handed over the place of the messenger to Ante’s father and never walked out of Harvey Knight Village again.
He never married, leaving no children.
I hope it is true that buckwheat doubles the seeds.
Looking at the last two small, supportive figures of the team, Antter silently read.
Hope is true.
Give Little Green and Little Ossis a place to stay.
Free the little guy from running to the wolf’s mouth to pick up wheat ears in autumn.
Let the children no longer get lost in the mountains and never go home.
