Chapter 505: Reunion of the Old Friends


The sound of horses' hooves came from the distance of the road, and under the vicious head, a cloud of dust was raised in the distance of the road, and it was evident that the original horse was galloping in a hurry.

Pedestrians on the road, who were already sparse, heard the sound of horses' hooves from afar, so they immediately turned sideways and moved away from both sides of the road.

In this chaotic season, most of the people who gallop so fast on the road from south to north are people in the army, either scouts or military envoys who send urgent mail back and forth, these people and others gallop on horseback, if they trample on civilians, they will not be compensated, if they annoy others, maybe they will also plant you a felony of delaying military aircraft.

Char rode all the way north from Yanjing, looking at the civilians on both sides of the road who were cowering and evading, and sighed secretly in his heart.

In this world, I don't know how chaotic it will be.

The situation in Yanjing is becoming more and more tense.

Adric reorganized his armament, and almost every day, there would be news that the emperor had gone north to quell the rebellion, and this news was almost the same every day.

Although for civilians, once the war breaks out, it may not be safe to hide in the city, but at least, the tall walls of those cities may bring some psychological comfort.

There are also some civilians who can only blindly migrate south, hoping to get as far away from Yanjing as possible.

Char came out of Yanjing and went north, and along the way, he saw many refugees fleeing on the road, dragging their children and daughters, and fleeing with their families.

The sphere of influence of the Armenian Military District is already like this, Armenia is the most powerful vassal among the rebels, and it is conceivable that the territory of other rebel forces is only like this.

Yanjing is preparing, and the rebels are also preparing here, and I don't know when this big battle will start.

It's been the fourth day since I came out of Yanjing, and I've been running around day and night every day, even though Char can eat it, the horses can't bear it.

When he came out of Yanjing, Char originally brought a spare horse, but unfortunately just the night before, he should have been unlucky, when crossing the river, a horse's hooves were injured by the dark stones at the bottom of the river, and the horse's hooves fell into the stone cracks, and he was lame.

Char didn't expect that he would encounter such an unlucky thing and lose a horse for no reason.

There was only one horse left to hurry, and at the end of the day, the horses were almost foaming at the mouth.

At noon, Char looked at the sky and then at the surroundings.

He had gone south and north many times, and he was familiar with the distance of this road, and when he looked at the surrounding terrain, he remembered that it was a town that was about seven or eight miles further ahead.

I had the heart to go to the town and buy a horse.

The town was exactly where Char expected, and it was almost out of the Armenian Military District.

It was only recently said that the army in the Armenian Military District was transferred, and the governor of Hughes was said to have gathered all his troops to the city of Merika, preparing to deal with the emperor's counterattack, so the rear was insufficient, and even the checkpoints were withdrawn in many places.

Originally, I heard that there was a battalion stationed in this town, but when Char arrived, he didn't even see half of the Armenian army.

The town is still the same town, but it looks much more dilapidated, originally there was a ring of earthen walls built around the perimeter of the town, but after all, it is not a real city, if there are no defenders to guard it, this earthen wall is really meaningless, an adult man, a light jump can turn over.

There are a few peasant soldiers in the town, probably the auxiliary soldiers and people pulled up by the original garrison, after the garrison left, they directly left these people here and did not take them away, originally these guys wore tattered and eliminated rebel uniforms, lazily sat under the earthen wall at the entrance of the town to avoid the sun and enjoy the cool, and still held some tattered and rusty swords in their hands, or sharpened wooden sticks and other weapons, but from a distance I heard the sound of the horse's hooves as Char rode galloping, and suddenly dispersed, thinking that some army was coming, and some were in a hurry, I can't even take care of my shoes if I lose them.

Char came to the entrance of the town, and when he saw these guys who were far away, he just shook his head and smiled, and slowly rode into the town.

I walked into a tavern in the town's memory, but the tavern was no longer in business.

In this troubled era, the trade routes from the south to the north have been cut off, and the taverns in this town naturally have no business, if it weren't for the fact that the owner of the tavern is a local, and the family and countryside are here, I am afraid that they would have run away with the refugees.

Char dismounted directly in front of the tavern, bolted the horse to the pillar at the door, looked at the few guys who were cowering and hiding in the distance to peek at themselves in the distance on the far side of the street, sneered, forgive these local thugs who did not dare to steal their horses, and then strode into the tavern.

The tavern floor was covered with dust, and I don't know how many days it hadn't been cleaned.

Char pushed the door in, and immediately a boss ran out inside, and said with a smile: "This master, this store is no longer open, please" Before he could finish speaking, Char had already shoved a silver coin into his hand, and the tavern owner looked down and swallowed back the second half of his sentence.

"Get something to eat, anything, preferably meat."

Char said quickly: "And the horse at the door, also feed the fodder, and ask for hay" The boss looked bitter and said with a smile: "This hay is there, but the meat" Char sighed, looked at the boss's sallow face, but he was afraid that people themselves didn't know how much meat had been broken, and I was afraid that they really couldn't get meat, so he nodded: "Well, then just get some food." ” As he spoke, he thought about it, and took out a silver coin from his bosom and stuffed it.

The boss's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked Char up and down, and suddenly his heart moved, and he shouted happily: "Come to think of it, there is meat, there is meat."

Char didn't pay attention to him, just walked in, and found a random place to sit in the corner.

I'm afraid there are few people in this town, and the food is simple, just a few hard cakes, and they are ground out of rye and some miscellaneous grains, black and yellow, dry in the mouth, and there is a sour but salty taste.

However, the tavern owner made a plate of bean sauce, and it tasted good.

Char ate half of the bread and sat there resting.

I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly smelled the smell of meat, and when I looked up, I saw the boss with a flattering smile on his face, and ran out with a plate.

Char was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this boss to really make meat, he was curious, he took a look, and before he could do anything, he suddenly heard a crying sound from the back of the tavern.

A childlike voice cried, and a thin figure ran out, rushed behind the tavernkeeper, hugged his waist hard, slapped the tavernkeeper's body, and shouted, "My dog, my dog" The boss's face changed, he turned around and pushed the child to the ground, and scolded angrily: "Go back and cry here, don't disturb the guests to eat."

As he spoke, he went up and kicked him.

But the child on the ground rolled up, hugged the boss's legs and feet, his little eyes were shining, and he was angry: "My dog, my dog, why did you kill my dog?"

The boss was in a hurry, grabbed the child, opened the bow left and right, and slapped the head a few times, the child's cheeks were suddenly red and swollen, but he still grabbed the boss's clothes and did not let go, crying indistinctly.

The boss's face was ugly, and he said angrily: "People who don't have dogs are about to starve to death, what's the use of holding that dead dog, sooner or later, you will starve to death, it is better to kill and eat meat in exchange for some money." ” Char saw it in his eyes and sighed in his heart, but he was a little embarrassed.

I didn't think of a casual request to eat meat, but I asked the boss to kill his child's dog.

He himself is not very old, he has just turned twenty years old, so he naturally understands the feelings of these children.

But if such a big child has any pet, he will naturally love it to the extreme, and he will be killed and eaten in front of him as his partner, which is too cruel for a child.

Thinking of this, Char looked at the meat on the plate in front of him, and he really couldn't move, sighed, stood up and looked at the boss.

The boss had already pushed the child aside, watching Char stand up, Char was tall and big, and there was a strong smell, the boss was immediately panicked, and quickly shouted: "This lord, the child is not sensible, you, don't talk to him" Char shook his head: "Forget it, it's me who is not good, I shouldn't have let you kill the child's dog." ” He stood up at will, and said, "Is there a place in the town that sells livestock?"

The boss breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly replied: "There are ones at the north entrance, but at this time, I'm afraid there are few people."

You're going to buy" Char originally held the hope of what happened, and when he heard the boss say this, he also understood in his heart that during the war years, horses were so precious, even if the cattle market in this town could have some horses to sell, but now at this time, I am afraid that it will be long gone.

After thinking about it, he went straight out the door.

The horses have been fed hay and have rested for so long, and they are much more energetic.

Char didn't want to stay in this town for too long, so he turned over his horse and went to the north of the town, and ran to the north of the town, and sure enough, he saw that the cattle market that the boss said had already been empty, only three or two idle men were squatting there, and the only livestock in the whole market was a thin old cow, and he was afraid that there was only a handful of bones left.

Char sighed, and was about to ride out of the town to continue his journey, but suddenly remembered something, he had to hurry later, so it was better to go back to the tavern and bring some dough on the road.

Turning his horse back, he ran to the door of the tavern, when he heard a loud cry and shouting from within Char's heart moved, turned over and dismounted, strode in, and saw the scene that made him angry Two or three peasant idlers in tattered military uniforms kicked the boss to the ground in the shop, and the boss was covered in blood, and a guy with a somewhat frightened face clutched the handle of the knife in his hand, and the knife was still poking at the boss's body.

The other two companions each had a silver coin in their hands, but it was the same one Char had given to the boss before.

The child was also kicked to the ground, but he cried and screamed with all his might, and his hands clung to the legs and feet of a guy and did not let go.

The peasant soldier with the knife was obviously panicked, and seeing that his legs and feet were being hugged, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, so he pulled out the knife that poked at the boss and slashed at the child's neck.

It's just that the knife hasn't been chopped down yet, and suddenly a sound is heard, and several people around are stunned, and when they look at it, they suddenly exclaim.

The guy with the knife had his head on the ground, but his body was still standing there, blood spurting from his cavity.

Char strode over, the other two guys were already scared stupid, Char kicked on a person, and directly kicked the person out, and when he fell into the corner, blood spurted from his mouth, and he was no longer alive.

The other came back to his senses, threw away the stick in his hand, screamed and ran to the door, Char didn't chase him, kicked up the knife that fell to the ground at will, the knife flew out, stabbed into the back of the man's heart, his chest protruded, and with a poof, the man fell directly to the door.

Char raised his hand and killed the three people, but it was only an instant.

Looking at the ground in front of him, the tavern owner was already angry, and there were several holes in his waist and eyes, obviously the idlers in the peasant uniforms in those towns saw the intention of making money, and killed the boss when he committed the murder.

The child got up, looked at all this dumbfounded, looked at the corpses around him, and then looked at the tavern owner on the ground, and was stunned for a moment, as if he opened his mouth to cry, but he didn't cry, but his body trembled and stared at him.

Suddenly, the kid jumped up, grabbed a stick on the ground, ran to the corner, and hit the guy who had just been kicked away by Char.

The other person was weak and weak, and the stick looked at the person again and again, banging, the person had already been kicked by Char and his internal organs were dead, but the child didn't cry a word, and knocked it down one by one.

Char saw this, sighed, hesitated, walked over and grabbed the child's heart, lifted him back and threw him on the ground.

The boy let go of the stick, fell to his knees, and cried out.

Char hesitated slightly, and finally did not turn around and walk away, but sighed, grabbed the child, and strode out of the tavern with his shoulders on his shoulders.

He got on his horse, threw the boy behind him, and rode out of town.

Along the way, the child was on horseback, but he didn't shout, he didn't move, he just cried silently, Char didn't pay attention to him, just galloped on horseback.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that I found a forest on the side of the road and stopped to rest.

The child was a little older, and he was bumped on the horse's back for a long time, and he couldn't stand on the ground where he had any strength, so he just sat down.

Char took out the water bag and drank a few sips of water, then handed it over again.

The child took it silently, and after taking two sips, he suddenly threw away the water bag, threw it aside, and spit it out with a wow.

I vomited for a long time, until I emptied my stomach and lay on the ground panting.

Char walked over and gave him the water bag again, let him take a few sips of water, and when he had caught his breath, Char lifted him to the tree and sat down.

"Enough crying" The kid nodded.

"I'm done spitting" Still nodding.

"Who are you the owner of the tavern?"

The kid raised his head and stared at Char with sparkling eyes: "Uncle." ” Char sighed: "What about your parents, do you have any other relatives?"

Shake one’s head.

Char frowned, didn't ask any more, but walked into the woods, and after a while, he pulled out a bird's nest with several eggs in it.

The boy was still sitting where he was, and when he saw Char come back, he suddenly stood up, glanced at what Char was holding, and ran to the side.

After a while, he picked up a lot of dry branches and built a fire.

This kid is quite skillful in his hands, which makes Char can't help but be a little surprised.

A few eggs were thrown over the fire and cooked, but Char ate only one, and the rest went into the child's stomach.

After eating, Char looked at the sky and said lightly: "Sleep, I'll go tomorrow." ” In the middle of the night, Char heard a low sobbing voice from the child next to him, he thought about it, and finally didn't say anything.

It's rare to think that such a young child can see his relatives killed in front of him without collapsing.

When it was slightly bright, Char got up, but the child had already gotten up, and the fire had been extinguished by him, so he just sat on the side and watched Char.

Char actually knew the child's movements, and when he sat up at this moment, the child had already handed over a wet hand towel.

Char looked at the water bag and hand towel in the child's hand, smiled faintly, took the hand towel and wiped his face, and then said, "Don't use the water in the water bag in the future, that's for drinking." ” "Hmm."

The kid nodded obediently, then looked at Char hopefully, and said in a low voice, "Master, you, you bought me." ” "Hmm," Char was stunned.

"I'm ten years old, strong, and able to work.

I can make a fire, I can do kitchen work, I can chop wood, I can feed the animals.

The boy swallowed, thought for a moment, and added, "I don't eat much." ” Char's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "What's your name?"

The child shook his head: "Master, take one." ” Char sighed, stood up, looked at the child, and said, "You don't have to call me master, you can call me uncle."

Well, use your own name, your own name is taken by your family, don't change it. ” He sighed in his heart, looked at the child, and suddenly his heart moved.

When the old guy met me, he probably felt the same way I do now The child seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and he lowered his head and thought about it, but when he raised his head, there was a little determination on his small face.

"I, my name is Lancelot."

Char smiled and touched the kid's head: "In the future, you will follow me, um" Char hesitated for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "From now on, you will be called Lancelo Chaya."

Well, that's the name. ” Then, the two of them didn't have anything else to say, silently cleaned up, and the two of them, one older and one younger, got back on the road.

Although this little Lancelot is a child, his surname is quite resolute, and as Char rode on horseback, he tossed on horseback, but he endured it without saying a word, and never complained.

Set out in the morning, and in the morning, when he walked far away to an abandoned outpost, Char suddenly slowed down the horse's hooves.

The checkpoint was apparently owned by the rebels as well, but the garrison had apparently been relocated, the checkpoint had been abandoned, the barracks on both sides of the site had been emptied, and the fences blocking the road had been knocked down on the side of the road.

But what surprised Char's face was that in the distance, there was a person hanging on the flagpole next to this checkpoint On the flagpole, the man hung from the flagpole with his hands tied, his hair covering his face, and his white robe was covered with dirt, so dirty that he could barely see his face.

The man was hung from the flagpole, his body swaying in the wind, and he didn't know whether he had fainted or died.

Char frowned, and after taking a look, he looked away, he didn't want to pay attention to these idle things on the road.

Just as he was about to speed up his horse again, he suddenly heard a soft groan with the wind The moaning sound of this status drifted with the wind, and the voice was slightly hoarse, but when it fell on Char's ears, it was immediately startled He suddenly raised his head and stared at the man who had fallen on the flagpole, his face pale Char flew up and pounced, the person was in the air, he had already torn the rope casually, took the man off the flagpole, gently put it on the ground, grabbed the water bag on his waist and poured it on the person's face, brushed his hair away, and poured a mouthful of water into the other person's mouth.

This person finally opened his eyes slowly, and his eyelids opened slightly to see Char's face clearly, and he immediately showed surprise and joy.

"Ahem, wow, wow, sir, sir, hey, hey, hey, whoa Char took a deep breath, his face was ugly: "Why are you here, who hung you here in Tadoro" This poor guy is naturally the number one dog leg under Char's command, our master Tataro.

It's just that at this moment, Dodoro really doesn't look like he had the same scenery as he did after setting off from Denzel City, the snow-white white mage robe is already tattered, full of sludge, his face is also bearded, and what is even more pitiful is that his nose and eyes are bruised, as if he has been beaten violently.

Even a boot is missing.

"Who did it, Todora."

Char's heart was full of anger, how to say that it was also his own person "Hehe, it's me."

Behind him, a voice suddenly came, which made Char suddenly startled Turning around suddenly, I saw a person lazily half-walking under a section of earthen wall behind him, with golden hair, a handsome and almost weird face, a grass root in the corner of his mouth, and his hands on the back of his head, looking lazy.

As soon as he saw this guy, Char's expression became more and more weird.

"You" Char took a deep breath, looked around, and then at the guy.

With his own strength, when this guy was behind him, he didn't even notice it Soon, however, Char's face showed a smile and pretended to be relaxed.

"It's been a long time, Ada."

Darwin spit out the grass roots in his mouth, got up with a smile, and patted the dust on his body: "Alas, I told you earlier, I don't like this title." ” To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
