He turned and looked around, but he didn’t find his ancient horse.
At ordinary times, the horse won’t leave his sight. The horse and he are partners who came back from the battlefield together. Many things don’t communicate very much. Sometimes it often takes Suldak to understand Suldak’s instructions simply by looking at it or moving it.
I didn’t see my horse, but I saw the woman who was ominous by the villagers.
The woman named Selena was cleaning up the soup pot by the campfire when she saw that she had fished out the boiled white sheep bones in the pot and put them into linen bags. At this time, no one wanted to go near her until Selena took a little girl by the hand and left the village. The women divided up the last sheep groceries and soup in the soup pot and carried the big iron pot back to the village public warehouse by several men.
Surdak was looking for his own horse, but he saw old Sheila holding little Peter’s hand and slowly coming over. Surdak stopped. Little Peter broke away from old Sheila’s hand and ran towards Surdak. Surdak was worried that he was running too fast, so he hurriedly greeted him and picked him up. Little Peter grabbed Surdak’s hair with both hands and laughed.
Surdak could clearly feel little Peter’s heartfelt heart. He looked up and saw old Sheila.
At present, this old woman seems to be several years older than when she first saw her yesterday. Surdak can feel her sadness, but she just can’t show it in front of outsiders. Surdak nodded to old Sheila and walked to give little Peter back to old Sheila. He has already thought about comforting little Peter.
I didn’t expect old Sheila to speak first. She glanced at Surdak faintly and "go home"
Chapter 219 Life troubles
Surdak slightly one leng.
Old Sheila stared at Surdak with a critical eye, so she said indifferently, "Have a good sleep. Go to the river bend and cut some red thatch and come back. The red thatch on the roof has been repaved and leaked rain. It’s been a few days since the river bend rose and drowned people. I haven’t let Rita go to the current water level. If you want to continue living at home, you must learn to work. It’s impossible to always keep an idle person at home …"
Say that finish, I want to take little Peter from Surdak’s arms, but little Peter Lai Surdak’s arms won’t leave.
"You … agree with me to stay?" Surdak still didn’t understand who changed old Sheila’s mind. It seemed that old Sheila was ready to try to accept what she didn’t know. At this time, Surdak felt a little touched.
Old Sheila turned and walked back. He quickly picked up little Peter and ran after him in a few strides. He didn’t even realize that his steps had become much lighter.
"No one wants to drive you away because they are worried that you will not be able to live a hard life in this country." Old Sheila’s voice is still a little cold, but it has eased compared with yesterday.
Surdak and old Sheila looked at her behind her and said confidently.
"Sheila, I’ll give you a better life."
Old Sheila paused. She didn’t turn her head and said
"I want to hear about Duck, and sometimes you can tell me more … You promised Duck to take care of little Peter?"
Surdak gently held little Peter’s tender little hand, and seeing little Peter was like going back in time to see Surdak’s childhood.
"That’s right!" Surdak had a little expectation that little Peter would grow up soon.
Old Sheila stopped, turned around and looked at Surdak’s eyes with pleading eyes and said to Surdak, "Can you teach him some swordsmanship? As an adult, he will get it after the battlefield sooner or later. "
Surdak thought for a moment and readily promised, "Of course, this is no problem. I can give some basic swordsmanship to little Peter. I’m afraid I will go to the War College to study some of the most basic skills and more advanced swordsmanship. I can ask someone to write a letter of recommendation. When little Peter is older, I will send him to the War College for unified study."
"Will you send little Peter to the War College?" Old Sheila eyes a bright some can’t wait to ask
She lost her reserve and could see the longing in her eyes.
Surdak didn’t expect to touch old Sheila’s heart and promised to send little Peter to war college, so he immediately said
"Of course, Peter should be sent to the War College. If he performs well enough in the College, I can also let him enter the Advanced War College to study. Students who graduate from the Advanced War College will enter the army, and less petty officers will start and no longer enter the new barracks (cannon fodder camp)."
Old Sheila’s stone house is not far from the place where she drinks mutton soup. Before she entered the hospital, she saw the figure of Rita, who bowed her head and chewed grass in the horse yard, and disappeared in a flash.
Surdak followed old Sheila into the hospital, only to find Rita coming out of a small room next to the stone house with a handful of handfuls. She was cleaning the stone house just now.
Surdak came to the hut for himself. I didn’t expect old Sheila to go to the hut with a big hole in the roof, looked at it and stared at Rita, then took Surdak into the stone house and led Surdak into her room again, and then said simply to Surdak
"You can sleep here for the time being. The room is too small to wronged you …"
Then he walked out of the stone house silently with rickets and walked into the air leakage room next to the stone house alone.
It seems that the house should be a simple woodshed. Suldak has just lived here for one night, and he has roughly understood the situation here. The middle room of this stone house is a small living room and a small bedroom on the left and right sides of the kitchen. Usually, Sheila and Rita should sleep in one room, and Natasha and Peter should sleep in one room. If Suldak really returns, Suldak will sleep with Natasha in one or two rooms, which is of course just enough.
But not now. Suldak needs to live alone. There are two rooms in the house, so old Sheila decided to give up her room. She moved to the woodshed with almost no roof next to the bathroom on the side of the stone house
How could Suldak let old Sheila go to live in the woodshed? Hurriedly, there was a faint musty smell in front of old Sheila. In the woodshed, I saw that there was a simple board in the woodshed, and there was only a layer of shabby linen sheets. Suldak felt more truly how poor this family usually was.
"Let me live here. I can’t sleep every night when I can’t see the stars on the battlefield …" Surdak said to old Sheila. After that, Surdak felt that this statement was too reluctant, so he pulled a sleeping bag made of red-eyed hyena skin from his magic pocket and said to old Sheila, "We usually sleep this when we are in the military camp."
I didn’t argue about it when I saw Surdak’s insistence. Anyway, the bedroom conditions in the stone house would not be much better than those in the firewood house. I said to Surdak, "If you can’t sleep next to the bathroom, you can take a shower before you sleep."
Suldak not only didn’t have a good rest these two days, but even didn’t do the most basic washing. He rode a horse all day the day before. This afternoon, someone dueled and took part in a village dinner. Suldak felt that he was covered with sour grease, even if he didn’t take a bath, he would find it difficult to sleep. Old Sheila agreed to let him take a bath.
Little Peter heard that Surdak would not leave and was excited to take a shower and sleep with Surdak.
If there is anything valuable in Surdak’s family, it may be the iron pot in the kitchen and the wooden bucket in the bathroom. Surdak scooped the water from the water tank by the wall into the big wooden bucket, and then stripped Peter, as small as periophthalmus, into the wooden bucket with himself and took a bath.
When he took a bath, he took out only a piece of bread and butter and a small half of bacon sausage from his magic pocket, put a wooden dagger and cut it into fine slices for little Peter to eat.
Little Peter ate two tablets and licked his tongue, saying that he would not take another bite.
Look at his mouth watering, closing his eyes and refusing to eat more. Suldak asked him if bread and butter and smoked sausage were not to his liking.
"I just want to leave some for my grandmother, mother and aunt. They probably haven’t eaten these delicious things!" Little Peter blinked his big clear eyes and said in a tender voice
Surdak felt that this moment had a sour taste rushing from the soles of his feet to his heart, and he could not help hugging little Peter.
Like being touched by the softest place in my heart, Surdak smiled and said to little Peter, "I will definitely bring back more for little Peter next time."
"Well, I like this soft bread. It’s so sweet!" Little Peter thinks this is a very important thing. He must make it clear to Surdak that he can buy more butter and bread …
……
Late at night, the villagers gradually dispersed, and Surdak felt that it was time for him to find a chance to leave Wall Village.
