Lord Highlander

   Chapter 284 283. Tracing

  Selena sat on the small stool in front of the fireplace, propped her chin with one hand, and smiled foolishly at the flames in the fireplace.

This surprised Signa who was under the bed. She quietly lifted the sheet, poked her head out and looked into the room. There was no outsider in the room. It seemed that the danger had not been lifted. Selena was getting angry. Usually, he would not beat himself when outsiders were present, but when there was no one, it still depended on Selena's mood.

   It seems that Selena is in a good mood now, but Signa still dare not take this risk.

  She lowered her head and stroked her hungry belly, thinking about the scene she saw behind the wheat haystack in the grain field at noon.

  Signa sighed softly, just be patient.

While Signa was thinking wildly, a plate was pushed in from outside the bed, and there was a quarter of baked wheat cake on the plate. This baked wheat cake was baked by Selena the day before yesterday, and now it just needs to be taken out Baking on the firepit can become a rush, and there is a small piece of cassava and a small handful of chickpeas on the plate. After seeing the food on the plate, Signa, like a mouse, quickly He leaned over to the edge of the plate and smelled it, then bent down under the bed and started eating.

These chickpeas are planted on the pond stalks of the wheat field. As long as the chickpeas are harvested before the wheat is harvested, very few villagers in Wall Village grow chickpeas. Just know how to plant.

Selena was sitting on the wooden table, and in front of her was a plate similar to that of Signa, except that there was only a small piece of wheat cake on the plate. She picked up the browned cassava and took a bite, and there was a bite in her mouth immediately. I can feel the numbness of pepper, but this is not because of the strong taste of cassava, but because this thing itself has a little toxicity, and it does not affect anything except that it will make your tongue big when you speak too much.

Although the stone house is still empty, Selina feels that her heart is filled, and she will have something to rely on in her future life. She no longer has to worry about the clerk who is in charge of population statistics breaking in suddenly that day and forcibly taking herself to another strange place. In the place where there is Signa and more than one mu of wheat fields, this is my home.

  It’s okay to have a hard life, it will get better gradually.

The village has been changing subtly recently. During the period around the Harvest Festival in previous years, after the villagers harvested the wheat fields, they would go into the forest to pick up various mountain products for winter storage. No matter how much food they stored, they were worried that there would not be enough food to survive the cold. winter.

But now, the atmosphere of panic when autumn is coming has subsided a lot. The strong laborers in the village have dug back a large amount of sulfur mines. According to the old village chief, these sulfur mines can be sold for a lot of money, and these villagers digging One silver coin can be obtained. If the half month's salary is exchanged for fine wheat flour in Hailansa City, it will be enough for her and Signa to eat for four months.

Although she is a woman of Suldak, Dailina doesn't want to take any of his copper coins for nothing. She wants to discuss with the old village chief after the Harvest Festival and let her also go to the sulfur mine in Pustout Mountain to mine, no matter what , There needs to be someone in charge of cooking in the mining area too!

  As long as you can do it for two weeks, you don't have to worry about winter storage anymore.

When Selena looked in the mirror, she found that there was a petal-like red mark on her chest. Her face flushed slightly, and she thought with some distress, how to cover up this red mark when she went out, otherwise she would be caught by the group of teeth in the village. The sharp-tongued women who have no bad intentions see it, and they don't know what it will be like.

The sun was no longer shining in the afternoon, and Selena returned to the valley, but she did not see Surdak again. According to the old people working in the valley, Surdak left Wall Village in a hurry at noon Yes, it seems that there is something rushing to leave.

  Selena leaned her hands on the stack of wheat, feeling a little overwhelmed for a while.

  ...

A young man from Digo Village ran to Wall Village and brought a message from the old village chief to Suldak, saying that someone had found traces of a group of robbers in the Grand Canyon next to Digo Village. The people in the village hunted wild goats in the canyon, and they skinned and removed the goats by the river in the center of the canyon. After they were removed, they left a few pieces of tattered goat skin. Soft.

  The village chiefs of the surrounding natural villages happened to hold a 'Patrol Guard Council' in Digo Village to discuss how many people each village should send to patrol.

  The whereabouts of the gang of robbers were immediately brought to the meeting of the village chiefs, and the village chiefs of each village immediately sent letters to the villages and began to gather manpower to drive away the gang of robbers in the Grand Canyon.

   It is also for this reason that Digo Village sent people to send letters to the villages. After hearing what the young people in Digo Village said, Suldak immediately decided to go to Digo Village.

In the past few days, in order to deal with emergencies, he usually wears leather armor during the day. At this time, he does not need to wear cumbersome monster leather armor. The Roman sword is hung on his waist, and the iris shield is stored in the magic pouch. Go to the valley field and pull out your horse, and you can start immediately.

I didn't see Selena on the valley field, and Suldak looked at Selena's stone house from a distance. He wanted to tell Selena, but when he thought of Signa's cute eyes looking at him, Suldak shivered all over his body, as if he was standing in the howling wind wearing only boxer shorts.

  Suldak decided not to say goodbye!

  He led the horse to the entrance of the village, and after the young people in Dige village pointed out the direction, he galloped all the way to Dige village along a mountain road with only faint traces.

Digo Village is completely different from Wall Village. Digo Village is located in the middle of a higher part of Paglos Mountain. There is no mountain spring water here, so the whole mountain village does not look green at all. All the houses are made of limestone. It is made of bricks, with triangular wooden frames and thatch on the roof, but Digo Village looks much larger than Wall Village. There are about two hundred households in the village, which is three times the number of Wall Village.

After walking into Digo Village, I found out...Although the vicinity of Digo Village is barren, this village occupies the entrance of the Grand Canyon. There is a river in this canyon, and some crops are planted on the slopes on both sides of the canyon. There is not enough sunshine time in the canyon, so the wheat fields here still look lush.

  Suldak rode a horse and stopped beside the canyon, overlooking the entire canyon.

   "The wheat fields in our village are different from those in other villages. If we want to harvest wheat, we have to wait at least another 20 days."

  A middle-aged man came out of the mill not far away, looked at Suldak twice, saluted him and introduced him.

  Then the middle-aged man asked again: "Is this Lord Knight also here to track down the bandits?"

  Suldak nodded.
