Today's second update, chapter 125, bad news With half of the fat man's guard following, and Soyt leading the way, Char came to the south of the city of Osgilia.
The south of the city is an area inhabited by civilians, and across the square in the center of the city, across the arena street, Char now does not dare to approach the arena, and can only bypass the street next to it.
As for the reason, there are so many samurai near the arena that it is impossible to know his identity and attract challengers.
Continue to the south of the city, the closer to the south, the closer to the sea, the streets are no longer wide and flat, but gradually narrow and rugged, it is obvious that the cleaning work here is not as clean as those rich areas in the north of the city, the ground is everywhere after the snow melts the water left, under the trampling of countless pedestrians, cars and horses into a sewage pit, no longer the north of the city is so neat and clean and solemn, the buildings on both sides have also become low, low earthen houses and shacks have replaced the previous tall and majestic buildings, The passers-by on the street were dressed as low-class people, and there were no tall horses, only mules, horses, and donkeys, no gorgeous clothes, only linen and coarse cloth.
Occasionally, you can see one or two small wheelbarrows slowly pushing by, as well as chickens and dogs barking on both sides, as well as the noise of the neighborhood, the quarrels and scolding of husband and wife, and the cry of the child, Char also saw two thin wild dogs on the side of the road barking a few times at his group from a distance, and then turned around and ran away, and when he walked past a house, the hostess of the house spilled a basin of dirty water directly, and almost splashed it on Char's body.
But then she saw Char and the guards on horseback behind him, and the woman exclaimed in fright, and the basin fell to the ground, and she ran back to the house.
Not only this family, but since approaching this neighborhood, the surrounding pedestrians and residents have enveloped Char and his party with curious eyes.
These gorgeously dressed lords, what to do in this kind of place Obviously, this is the civilian area, if you leave aside the halo of Osgilia, the first heroic city on the mainland, the miracle, the thousand-year-old ancient city, the power center of the empire, the great Yanjing, etc., then in fact, this place is really no different from the places where the poor people live in those cities on the mainland.
Crossing a small street and looking at the low and crooked fences in front of the houses on both sides, Char frowned: "Is it just ahead?"
"Yes."
Soyt turned his head in front and whispered, "The late Lord Kevin's house is right in front.
Usually at this time of the day, Madame should have just returned from the tailor's shop we saw before."
We walked all the way to the end of the street and came to a small two-story building that looked a little shabby, and downstairs was a small garden or not a garden, because it was so small.
Compared to the shacks I've seen before, this small building is pretty good, at least it's made of bricks, not earthen walls.
The ground in the yard is very flat, and some unknown wildflowers are planted on both sides, which are really wildflowers, but the small white flowers that are common in the suburbs are neatly dotted around the yard, which makes the owner who lives here quite different.
Char motioned to Soyt to push the fence door open, the door on the first floor of the small building was half-covered, Char walked out of the yard, and a gray dog came out of the door, barking at Char a few times, and then Soyt waved his hand and shouted something, the dog recognized Soyt, ran to him and sniffed a few times, wagged his tail before retreating to the corner, but still stared at Char with vigilant and unfriendly eyes.
With a creak, the door opened, and a woman with long brown hair stepped inside.
Soyt immediately bent down: "Lady Yuria." ” Yulia, the mistress of the house and the wife of the late Kevin, stood in front of the door, looking in amazement at the men who walked in the courtyard.
The surprise on her face vanished when she saw Soit, and a smile appeared on her face, she had brown hair, a high nose, a tall build, and green eyes.
The forehead is slightly higher and a little wider, and the distance between her eyes is also wider, in general, she is also an ordinary-looking woman, but there is a kind of flavor in her eyebrows.
She was wearing a wide linen robe, her long brown hair was tied up very casually, there were beads of sweat on her forehead, her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her light wheat-colored arm skin, obviously she was often busy with housework, and as a result of the sun, there were water marks on her hands, and she wiped her wet hands on the robe a few times, and for Char, what surprised him even more, or rather, if he had brewed a stomach along the way, he originally thought that he had already thought of a set of more tactful words, but when he really saw this woman for the first timeChar froze He was completely stunned, and the words that filled his stomach seemed to disappear in an instant, and he opened his mouth wide and stared at the woman in front of him.
It's just because of the woman in front of her, her lower abdomen is high and bulging under her fat robe Yulia Kevin's wife, this woman, she, she is pregnant In an instant, the picture in front of him shattered all of Char's psychological defenses, and he even felt that his mouth was dry in an instant, and his legs were a little weak.
Even in the face of the thousands of troops of the Odin, even in the face of Hasting's terrible black war spear, Char has never been so nervous as he is now.
"Soit, you're back" Yuria's voice was a little hoarse, she smiled happily, very cheerful, and looked at Char in the courtyard and Dodora who was hiding behind Char: "These two brothers are very eye-catching, are they Kevin's new comrades-in-arms, come in, hehe, yes, Kevin, is he behind this guy, he must have secretly run to buy wine" As she spoke, the woman stood on tiptoe and looked out of the yard, and then smiled: "What are you doing, come in, Soit, you go to Uncle Tom on the street to buy some bacon and come back, otherwise there won't be much to eat at home, hehe." ” Soyt's face was ugly, and he looked at Char as if asking for help.
Char finally came back to his senses at this time, he took a deep breath, and then slowly walked towards Yulia step by step.
It was probably Char's expression, or his heavy steps, that made Yulia seem a little afraid, as if she had guessed something, but the woman still smiled reluctantly: "Yi, this young man is a newcomer to your army, I don't think you are very old, come in at the age of twenty, I just bought a little honey yesterday, I can make you a little honey tea." ” "Yul, Yuria" Char walked up to the woman, her tone heavy.
The woman's face changed drastically, she seemed to be panicked, she tried to retreat quickly, hiding in the door, Char grabbed her shoulder: "Yulia, my name is Char, I am Kevin's comrade-in-arms, and he is also him" "Don't, don't say" Yulia screamed in a faux puff, the smart woman had already guessed something, she broke free of Char's hand as if she was crazy, and screamed: "What are you doing, what are you talking about, come in first and sit down, what do you have to say for a while Kevin comes, you will talk about Kevin, Kevin" "Kevin" Char's eyes were red, and his fingers trembled: "Kevin he" Yuria's body went limp, her face instantly turned pale, and she stared at Char with wide eyes, watching Char take a bag from Soit's hand, and the burden opened to reveal a helmet, a dagger, several badges, and a piece of parchment full of charcoal handwriting, with blood stains on it Yulia rolled her eyes and fainted directly.
Char carried Yulia into the bedroom of the house and put her on the bed.
Soyt then quickly brought a cup of hot water and poured it into Yuria's mouth.
Looking at the furnishings in this room, the furnishings are very simple, the rough cabinets, the wooden tables and the iron-clad corners of the chairs are full of rust marks, but they are well cleaned, and it is obvious that the owner of this room is very diligent and likes to be clean.
The only thing that showed the identity of the owner of the house was a samurai sword hanging from the wall, and a few horseshoes thrown in the corner.
It took a while for Yulia to wake up, and this time the woman woke up and looked blankly at the ceiling of the house, and Soyt next to her shouted a few times, but she didn't respond.
Char gritted his teeth, pulled Soit away, stood in front of the bed, knelt on one knee, and whispered: "Madame Yulia, Kevin is a hero, he died bravely, moreover, he also saved my life Your husband is the bravest and noblest person I have ever seen in my life."
He put the badges, the sword helmet, on the head of the bed.
And Yulia finally moved at this time, she reluctantly sat up, but did not look at the badges, but directly grabbed the bloodstained parchment, opened it anxiously and looked at it for a while, Yulia's eyes flowed with tears, the woman's hands gradually clenched, held the parchment into a ball, sobbed in a low voice, her shoulders shrugged If she cried loudly, maybe Char could be a little better, but she sobbed so patiently, but it was like a knife, cutting Char's heart one by one.
He moved forward: "I know very well that it will be an unbearable blow to you to bring such unfortunate news to you, but I" "You don't have to say it."
Yulia suddenly raised her head, the woman's face was full of tears, her face was sad, and her voice was hoarse, but she had a strange strength: "You don't need to say it. ” Her eyes finally fell on Char's face.
"I am a Rhodria woman, as a Rhodrian woman, my mother, my grandmother, my great-grandmother, have all faced such things, husbands or fathers and brothers died on the battlefield, as if this is the fate of our Rhodrian women" Yulia continued to cry: "However, I didn't expect that I didn't marry a Rhodrian man, but Kevin still entered the Rhodrian Cavalry Regiment, and I still encountered such a thing" The woman barely supported herself on the bed with her hands so that she did not fall, and she wept, tears mixed with snot.
"Kevin Kevin didn't know yet, he was going to be a father, the last time he came home was more than half a year ago, and after he left, I found out that I was pregnant, I haven't had time to tell him the news, I don't dare, I know that he is going to fight in the wildfire field this time, and he is going to war, I, I have never dared to tell him, I am afraid that he will be distracted on the battlefield, I just want to endure and wait until this battle is over and then tell him me" Char suddenly knelt down on his other leg, he knelt in front of Yuria, stretched out his hands, and held Yuria's hand tightly, Char's face muscles were twitching, and his heart was faintly painful, gritting his teeth and saying: "Yuria Kevin is not my friend, he is my brother, he saved my life, since the moment he died, his blood has been with my blood, and we will never be separated again, we are brothers, you are brothers, you will be my sister in the future, your child, I will become the child's uncle, the uncle who loves the child the most" Finally, Yulia couldn't hold back her emotions anymore and began to cry bitterly.
Yulia cried for two hours before she gradually calmed down, if it wasn't for the inspiration of Dodora, she thought of a way, and interjected next to her: "Madam, please take care of your body, don't forget that you have a child in your belly" Yulia heard this, but it was more effective than hearing any persuasion, she finally wiped her face hard, stopped crying, and several people sat silently for a while, Yulia squeezed out a smile on her face: "You guys, you are all Kevin's comrades-in-arms, it's not too early, you must be hungry, I'll go get some food."
Where did Char dare to let her do it and quickly forcibly helped her to lie down, she and Soit ran to the kitchen behind to get some hot rice porridge and brought it to Yulia, Yulia barely ate a spoonful, as if she couldn't eat it, but after looking at her stomach, the woman frowned tightly, gritted her teeth and ate all the bowls of porridge.
"Thank you."
The woman ate the porridge and rested for a while, her face was slightly better, at least she didn't want to be so white and frightening just now.
Subsequently, Yulia endured her grief and asked Char some questions, and asked Char to tell how Kevin died in battle, Char did not dare to say in detail, for fear of causing the other party's sadness, so she could only say a few words in general terms, and helped Yulia to lie down and rest.
Char took out a cloth bag and put it on the table, which was heavy and full of gold coins.

"Here is the pension in the army and some of our comrades-in-arms, please accept it, we" In fact, the turtle lied.
There were at least three hundred gold coins on this table, and the army's pension was very small, and although the other comrades-in-arms had made up some, after all, everyone was a soldier, and there was not much money to spare, and all of them added up to only seven or eight gold coins.
There were fifty gold coins in it, which were given to Char privately by General Adric, who was an incorruptible general and did not have much wealth.
As for the rest, Char took out all his savings, and he was the uncle along the way, and he was entertained by local officials in the local area, and he got some benefits, and he also took them out.
Seeing that Yulia was about to refuse, Char immediately said resolutely: "I know you don't want to accept it, because no amount of money can be exchanged for human life, but please don't refuse, because this is everyone's heart, even if it is to be everyone's peace of mind, don't let everyone be upset, please accept it."
