Lord Helanza

The villagers have dispersed by themselves, and the yard instantly becomes silent.

The village chief stood in the yard with a look of excitement, and wanted to say some words of encouragement to Surdak, but seeing this scene, for a while, I didn’t understand what happened. Child returned safely from the army. Shouldn't it be happy?

"Sheila, what's wrong with the children..."

In terms of seniority, the old village chief is much higher than Surdak's mother, and he is used to calling this title.

The Old Lady with hair grey-white grudgingly smiled at the old village chief and said: "Please come and sit in the house!"

Although the stone house looks a bit old, it is Full of the breath of life.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit dull. Old Sheila, Natasha, and Rita stared at Surdak vigilantly in their eyes, not only with doubts, but also with strong hatred.

Little Peter, who was only four years old, seemed very happy. He didn't object to Mother Gu and Aunt, and insisted on sitting in Surdak's arms.

The old village chief was sitting on the only chair in the house smoking dry tobacco, glanced at Surdak, and finished his last puff, then knocked the wooden pipe twice and took in the tobacco. He smashed his mouth in his pocket, and he probably saw that there seemed to be a barrier between the people in the room.

But the old village head didn’t think about it. After all, Surdak was only 17 when he left home. I was not so impressed by Surdak, I just felt that the figure looks similar to the boy who had several points of before, and it is normal for his appearance to change a little.

After all, Surdak came back to the village accompanied by the tax officer Mr. Bird.

And after being away from home for so long, Surdak didn’t recognize his younger sister and childhood playmate at a glance. The family was cold-faced and reluctant to speak to Surdak. In the eyes of the old village chief, perhaps it was After Surdak joined the army, he rarely wrote letters to his home. It was only when his family members were worried that they would be complained by them.

The old village head thinks that there are some things, as long as they are open, then it is not a problem.

He sat in the room and thought: Maybe the Sheila family was bullied by the harsh women in the village. They had never dared to say anything before. Now that his son comes back from the army, some accounts will naturally be calculated. I was also worried that after Surdak became Knight, it would be bad if he was young and energetic.

The old village chief decided to coordinate, and he asked:

"What happened?"

Old Sheila and Natasha blinked. After looking at each other, he stopped talking.

Seeing the reaction of Surdak’s old lady and wife, the old village head was more sure of his guess. He must have encountered some grievances, so he said to Old Sheila:

"Now that Surdak has returned, there is nothing more to say. Your son has become a noble Knight. If you have any complaints in your heart, you should be diluted by this."

The old village chief felt that Most of the women in the village have never seen the world. Maybe they don’t know what Knight means. This was a shock. How much credit is needed to be selected as Knight by the noble master. We have never been out of Knight in Wall Village for so many years. Knight! The tax officer Bird told me, our whole village People don’t have to pay taxes anymore. Even if they pay taxes, they will be handed over to Dak. Now he is terrible, and even I have to call Lord Knight."

Speaking of this, the old village chief’s face I couldn’t help but smile. Taxes are the biggest expenditure in Wall Village every year. The land here is barren, and the food produced is not enough for my family. Where is there any excess to pay taxes? If you want to pay taxes to Surdak in the future, you may be able to make allowances and pay less.

The old village chief touched the pipe in the pipe, and finally held back. He only said, "What is something unspeakable about you, close the door and tell Surdak, even if the lawsuit hits Helanza." I'm not afraid that no one will care about it."

Sheila and Natasha's eyes became more worried after hearing what the old village chief said.

"Only today, the people in the village competed with the people in Guta Village for the border of the pasture. Three of them were injured. In the afternoon, I suddenly heard that there was a Knight in our village, Guta Village. We actually took the initiative to send people three bags of tree rice. It was the compensation they gave us. Fighting for the border of the ranch has always been our own responsibility. When did we compensate? After all, it was a Knight from our village of Wall. Relationship." The old village head couldn't stop smiling when he talked about this.

Every year, Wall Village and Guta Village will make a lot of money for the pastures within the valley. Most of the time, Guta Village, which has a large number of people, takes advantage of it.

This year, the situation turned around suddenly. The reason is that someone in Wall Village became Knight and returned safely from the front line...

The old village chief said proudly: "The area in our village At the border of the pasture, Guta Village took the initiative to retreat for ten meters. Look at, when did the guys in Guta Village recognize it? As long as Surdak is there, we don't have to be afraid of those guys in Guta Village in the future."

Speaking of this, the old village chief is also full of emotion, recalling that for so many years, I have been working hard and silently for Wall Village, and now I finally have a youngster better than myself to take up this responsibility, and he has a face. Looking at Surdak with relief, he said:

"I, the village chief, who has served for so many years, should have taken a break long ago."

The old village chief coughed twice and stood up. I got up, bent my waist and walked out, saying:

"I’ll see how well the room arranged for Tax Officer Byrd has been arranged. Over the past few years, it has been very popular with Tax Officer Byrd. Naturally, I can’t neglect the tax officer."

Walking to the door, the old village head turned around again, and said to the old Sheila who was planning to follow:

"Old Sheila, there will be good days in the future. Don't have anything you can't think of. If you can put it down in your heart, let it go, or you will take revenge on others now. When little Peter grows up, children will be better than little Peter. , Do you want to settle the old grievances?"

The old village chief's muddy eyes glanced at Little Peter who was nestling in Surdak's arms, and said with a mouthful of yellow teeth:

"Even if you don't consider others, you should think about Peter!"

The last sentence, the last bit of courage to say the old Sheila.

Originally, she wanted to chase her out, and quietly told the old village head that her child might have been dropped. The one sitting at home was a stranger, but now she couldn’t say anything. Looking at Peter with a worried look, the child's innocent eyes were full of happy smiles, and the stranger was taking out a handful of candy from his arms.

Old Sheila can only silently agree:

"Oh..."

Looking at the old village chief slowly disappearing into the night, old Sheila Close the door, turn around and walk in front of Surdak, and take little Peter from Surdak's arms.

Little Peter didn’t want his grandmother to hold herself, but she couldn’t get rid of no matter how hard she struggled. Old Sheila gave Little Peter to Natasha, instructed:

"You two bring Let Peter go to bed first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow!"
