Lord Helanza

Many stone houses in Wall Village are made of limestone. The roof is a wooden tripod structure. There is a main beam across the stone house. Many stone houses are in disrepair. After the paint layer of the beams fell off, the paint was not repaired in time. Many of these beams have traces of insects. In some stone houses, the roof leaks, and even some autumn ears grow on the beams.

This time the old village chief decided to renovate the house. He simply reinforced the tripod on top of the stone house with oak boards, and renovated the damaged wooden doors and windows of some villagers’ homes, at least not It happened that some small beasts got into the room unfathomable mystery while the villagers were sleeping.

Re-lay red thatch on the roof, which is almost what the villagers of Wall Village do every year.

Generally speaking, laying red thatch on the roof requires mutual help between the left and right neighbors. Only with enough manpower can the old thatch on the roof be lifted in one day and before the sun sets. Put a thick layer of new red thatch on the roof. If these things cannot be done in one day, you can only count the stars in the bed at night.

The villagers will discuss in private to stagger the days of laying the roof, and everyone will prepare the red thatch on the river beach in advance. The red thatch is not just dried, but also After a simple combing, the red thatch is tied into bunches for spare use. The method of binding is also very important. Each bunch of red thatch is too tight or loose. The red thatch on the roof of Surdak’s house is because Rita made the red thatch last year. The thatch was tied too tightly, causing serious rain leaks on the roof before the rainy season passed.

The restoration of the stone house this time is a collective action by the whole village. It does not require each family to prepare to fire separately. According to the practice of Wall Village, the old village chief will ask people to catch a yellow sheep from Beigou. Hundreds of villagers ate a big pot of rice together. One yellow sheep is only enough to cook a pot of fragrant mutton soup, and it is paired with half of the roasted crispy wheat crackers. This is already a delicacy that the villagers of Wall can eat at holiday parties.

But it happened to catch up with Surdak brought back some horse meat last night. Although the horse meat was distributed to villagers in every household that night, most of the villagers hadn’t eaten it yet, so the horse meat gathered again. , Hung in a soup pot and cooked, then the village women who are good at cooking chopped up the offal together with the viscera and stuffed them into the cracks of the scones to make meat patties with a crispy appearance and stuffed meat inside.

Surdak, as the noble reserve Knight, naturally does not need to go to the neighbor's house to help.

So when everyone was busy, only he appeared to be doing nothing, so he took over the task of looking after little Peter from Natasha, because even Rita and Natasha were also Go to the central square of the village to help the kitchen.

Two big iron pot noodles on the square in the center of the village are boiled with lamb soup. At this time, children are not allowed to enter before eating because they are worried that they will be scalded by the edges of the pot secretly. In the village square.

Surdak was sitting under a dead tree at the entrance of the village, and when he saw little Peter and a group of smaller children going to the river to dig some mud to play, he felt nodded pain.

I’m already in a hurry to take care of little Peter here, and the other children in the village have also come together. Now these children are planning to dig yellow mud by the creek. Surdak thinks this must be stopped. , If a child accidentally falls into the water, he will inevitably have to take the pot here.

After thinking about it, he got up from the root of the tree and walked to little Peter's side.

"Father, do you want to go to the river with me to dig the mud?"

Little Peter is about to take his friends to the stream, and he looks up and sees Surdak walking When he came over, he asked in an immature voice.

"Father doesn't want to dig the mud. Rita will lose his temper if he soils his clothes. I have something more fun here..." Then, Surdak picked up a dead branch and drew on the ground. A very simple plane grid.

"Yes, Rita will spank me when he gets angry." Little Peter seemed to remember Rita's anger, and he agreed with him.

Afterwards, Little Peter saw the squares drawn by Surdak on the ground, and immediately curiously asked: "Father, what are you?"

Surdak touched Little Peter’s soft Hair, smiled at him and said: "This is called jumping grid, you watch me do a demonstration, you should jump like this..."

Little Peter stared wide-eyed, watching Surdak in the airplane grid I jumped a few times quickly, and then jumped back flexibly. I suddenly felt that the game seemed very interesting, and immediately clamored: "Father let me come, let me come..."

Other children Also begin to stir beside, Surdak saw that it successfully diverted the attention of this group of children, and immediately began to maintain order, and gave orders to this group of children: "Don’t worry, everyone line up, everyone has a chance. Take turns."

So at the entrance of the village, the merchants in the caravan set up stalls.

In front of them, a group of children began to line up and jumped up in a very orderly manner.

The rules for skipping grids are established, so there is no need for Surdak to stand by and watch.

He went back under the dead tree, idly holding a whetstone to polish the Roman sword in his hand.

Suddenly, he found a little girl squatting in the shadow below the dead.

He hadn’t noticed before, that the little girl in tattered clothes seemed to be only four or five years old and skinny. She squatted motionless under the tree with her hands and legs, and put her chin on. On the knees, it looks like a little quail with its neck tightened in the cold wind.

Her eyes were also attracted by the group of children who jumped the grid, but it seemed that she was a little timid and unwilling to take the initiative to come forward, and those children did not intend to invite her to play games with her.

"Why don't you jump?" Surdak leaned over and asked the little girl softly.

The little girl was taken aback. She didn’t expect someone to talk to her. She blinked her eyes with a trace of dark green, and buried her small face between her legs with a very small amount of The voice answered: "Mother won't let me run around..."

Surdak curiously asked: "What is your name?"

"Signa." The little girl answered briefly .

Surdak still wants to talk to this little girl who looks very introverted, but by this time some women from the village came to the entrance of the village, and the women gathered the children at the entrance of the village. Hello everyone, it's time for dinner.

Signa saw a woman with a plain and beautiful face coming out from among a group of women, her eyes brightened immediately, she immediately stood up and ran over happily, and got there. Under the woman's skirt, she occasionally lifts the long skirt and looks out curiously with her small eyes.

Surdak recognized the beautiful woman in front of him as Selena. He was deeply impressed by the most beautiful widow in the village.

Charlie once introduced to him that this woman was called an ominous person by the villagers, as if she had some kind of curse on her, and everyone did not want to deal with her.

The woman held a linen dress in one hand, and glanced at Surdak lightly, then turned back to the village without speaking.
