Conquest

    Chapter 125—Failure

    Followed by half of the chubby guards, with Solleater leading the way, and Shaar came to the south of Osgiliath.

    The south of the city is a place where civilians live. It crosses the square in the center of the city and crosses the arena. (Shaar can't get close to the arena now, but can only walk far away from the street next to it. As for the reason, there are too many warriors near the arena now, and it is impossible to know that his identity will lead to the challenger. )

    Continue to the south of the city, the closer to the south, the closer to the seaside, the streets are no longer wide and flat, but gradually narrow and rugged, it is clear that the cleaning work here is not as clean as those rich areas north of the city, the ground everywhere there is snow melted after the water left behind, in countless pedestrians carriage Horse trampling into a sewage pit, not so neat and solemn, on both sides of the building also become low, low earthen houses shack replaced the previous Kangda of the building, the streets of passers-by dressed in the lower class, without horses, only mule donkey, no Chinese shirt, only hemp cloth. Occasionally, one or two small wheeled carriages were slowly pushed over, there were cockering dogs and dogs on both sides, and the noise in the neighborhood, the couple’s bickering, the child’s crying…

    Shaar also saw two thin wild dogs on the side of the road yelling at his own pedestrians, then turned around and ran away. When walking through a family, the hostess spilled a pot of dirty water directly. It almost fell on Shaar's body.

    Then I saw Shaar and the horse-riding guards behind him. The woman was scared and shouted, and the pot was thrown on the ground, and she ran back to the house.

    Not only this family, but as soon as they approached this block, the surrounding pedestrians and residents shook the Shaar group with curious eyes.

    These gorgeous masters, go to this place to do what…

    Obviously, this is the civilian area…

    If you go to the first city of Osgiliath, the miracle, the thousand-year history of the ancient city, the power center of the empire, the great Imperial Capital…Wait a minute, etc. – if you get rid of them, then in fact, here, the places where the poor people live in cities big and small on the mainland are really no different.

    Crossing a small street and looking at the low-lying fence in front of the houses, Shaar frowned. "Is it in front?"

    "Yes."Solleater turned back in front, whispered: "The home of the late Kevin Master is just ahead. Usually at this time of the day, the lady should just come back from the tailor shop we saw before…"

    All the way to the end of the small street, came to a small building that looked a little simple and two-story, downstairs is a small garden that is simple and simple – or can not be said to be a garden, because it is too small .

    Compared to the shacks I saw before, this small building is already very good, at least it is built with bricks instead of earth walls. The ground in the yard was very flat, and some unknown wildflowers were planted on both sides – really wild flowers, just the kind of white flowers that are common in the suburbs, but they are neatly dotted around the yard, and they live here. The owner is quite different.

    Shaar motioned Solleater will be the gate open, that small building on the first floor of the door half cover, Shaar just walked the yard, from the door sprang a gray dog, to Shaar called a few times, then Solleater waved, shouted a word, the dog recognized Solleater, ran To his side sniffed a few times, shook his tail before returning to the corner, but still with vigilance unfriendly eyes staring at the Shaar.

    With a bang, the door was opened and a brown long-haired woman came out from inside.

    Solleater bent down immediately: "Mrs. Yulia."

    Yulia, the hostess of the family, the wife of the late Kevin, stood in front of the door and was surprised to see the men coming in the yard.

    The surprise on her face disappeared after seeing Solleater, and then a smile came out – she had brown hair, high nose, tall figure, and green eyes. The forehead is slightly taller and somewhat wider, and the distance between the eyes is also wider. In general, she is an ordinary woman, but there is a taste in the eyebrows.

    She wore a large linen robes, and the long brown hair was very casually tied up. There were sparkling sweat beads on her forehead, and she rolled up her sleeves to reveal the light gray arm skin. It was obviously busy with housework and full sun. As a result, there were traces of water on the hands, and the wet hands were rubbed on the robes a few times.

    For Shaar, it surprised him even more, or he said that he had brewed a stomach all the way. He thought that he had already thought about a set of relatively arrogant rhetoric, but when he really saw this at first sight, When she was a woman, Shaar was stunned!

    He was completely stunned, and the words of his stomach seemed to disappear in an instant. He opened his mouth and stared at the woman in front of him.

    only because……This woman in front of me…

    Under her fat robes, the lower abdomen is high! !

    Yulia ……Kevin's wife, this woman, she, she is pregnant? !

    For a moment, this picture in front of him killed all of Shaar's psychological defenses. He even felt that his mouth was dry and his legs were soft.

    Even in the face of the Odin's tens of thousands of horses, even in the face of Hasting's terrifying black war spear, Shaar has never been as nervous as it is now.

    "Solleater, you are back!"Yulia's voice was a little hoarse, a very pleasant smile, very cheerful, and looked at Shaar in the yard and Tatara behind Shaar: "Is it? These two brothers are very eye-catching. Is it Kevin’s new comrade? Come in, huh, huh…That's right, Kevin? Is he behind? This guy must have sneaked to buy wine…"

    When the woman said, she picked up her feet and looked out of the yard. Then she smiled and said: "What are you doing, come in, Solleater, go to the street where Uncle Tom buys a little bacon, otherwise there is not much in the house. The thing is eaten, huh, huh."

“…………”Solleater's face was ugly, and he looked at Shaar for help.

    Shaar finally came back to God at this time. He took a deep breath and then walked slowly to Yulia.

    Probably Shaar's expression, or his heavy pace, let Yulia seem to be afraid, as if guessing something, this woman is still barely laughing: "Is it? Is this young man a newcomer to your army? I see you are not very old, are you 20 years old? Come in, I just bought a little honey yesterday, I can give you some honey tea. ”

    "Yu, Yulia…"Shaar came to the woman and the tone was heavy. The woman's face changed dramatically. She seemed to be horrified. She tried to quickly retreat and hid in the door. Shaar grabbed her shoulder: "Yulia, my name is Shaar, I am Kevin's comrade, and he…"

    "No, don't say it!"Yulia screamed in a scream, the smart woman had already guessed something, she broke away from Shaar's hand as if she was crazy, and screamed: "What are you doing, say what to do, advanced to sit down!" Have a word for a while, Kevin is coming to talk to you…Kevin, Kevin…"

    "Kevin…"Shaar has a red eye and a trembling finger: "Kevin, he…"

    Yulia was soft and her face turned pale. She stared at Shaar with her eyes wide open. She looked at Shaar and took a bag from Solleater's hand. The bag was opened, there was a helmet and a dagger. , a few badges, and a…Full of parchment written by charcoal, with blood on it!

    Yulia's eyes turned and she fainted.

    Shaar took Yulia into the bedroom in the house and placed it on the bed. Then Solleater quickly brought a cup of hot water and poured it into Yulia's mouth.

    Looked at the furnishings in this room – very simple, rough cabinets, the iron on the corners of the wooden tables and chairs are full of rust marks, but they are well cleaned, obviously the owners here are very diligent and love clean.

    The only thing in the family that can show the identity of this owner is a samurai sword hanging on the wall and a few horseshoes thrown in the corner.

    Yulia woke up after a while. After the woman woke up, she looked at the ceiling of the room with no eyes, and Solleater shouted a few times, and she did not react.

    Shaar gritted his teeth, opened Solleater, stood in front of the bed, kneeling on the ground, whispered: "Mrs….Yulia, Kevin is a hero, he is very brave to die, and he saved my life! Your husband is the most brave and noble person I have ever seen in my life! ”

    He put those badges and sword helmets on the bed. Yulia finally moved at this time. She barely sat up, but did not look at the badges, but directly grabbed the bloodstained parchment and opened anxiously…

    After watching it for a while, Yulia’s eyes shed tears, and the woman’s hands gradually grasped, holding the parchment into a ball, sobbing in a low voice, shaking her shoulders…

    If she cries aloud, maybe Shaar can still be a little better, but it is so painful to soak, but like a knife, cut a bit on Shaar's heart.

    He moved forward: "I know very well that bringing such an unfortunate news to you is an unbearable blow to you, but I…"

    "You don't have to say it."Yulia suddenly looked up. The woman was full of tears, her face was blank, her voice was hoarse, but she had a strange strength: "You don't have to say it."

    Her eyes finally fell on Shaar's face.

    "I am a Rhodelia woman. As a Rhodelia woman, my mother, my grandmother, my great-grandmother, I have faced such a thing…Husband or father and brother killed the battlefield…As if this is the fate of our Rhodelia woman! ”Yulia continued to cry: "But I didn't expect that I didn't marry a Rhodelia man, but Kevin still went into the Rhodelia Cavalry Army, and I…Still encountering such a thing…"

    The woman barely supported her hands on the bed, and she did not fall down. She shed tears, tears and nose mixed together.

    "Kevin…Kevin, he still doesn't know, he wants to be a father…He went home last time more than half a year ago, and after he left, I found myself pregnant…I…I haven't had time to tell him the news…I don't dare, I know that he wants to go to Primal Wildfire this time and go to the battlefield. I, I have never dared to tell him, I am afraid that he will be distracted on the battlefield…I just want to wait until the beating is over and tell him…Me

    Shaar suddenly slammed the other leg down. He squatted in front of Yulia, stretched out his hands and held Yulia's hand tightly. Shaar's face was twitching, his heart faintly hurting, and he gnawed his teeth: "Yulia ……Kevin is not my friend, he is my brother! ! He saved my life! His blood has been with my blood since the moment he died! Will not separate again! ! We are brothers! It is a brother! You are my sister in the future! ! Your children, I will become a child's uncle, the most loved child's uncle! ! ”

    Finally, Yulia couldn’t hold back her emotions and burst into tears.

    Yulia cried for two hours and then gradually subsided. If it wasn't for Tatara's inspiration, she remembered a way to insert a sentence at the side: "Mrs, please take care of your body, don't forget that there is another in your stomach." child……"

    Yulia heard this sentence, but it was more effective than hearing what comfort. She finally wiped her face and stopped crying. Several people sat silent for a while. Yulia’s face squeezed a smile: "You, you all Kevin's comrades…It’s not too late, I’m hungry, I’m going to get some food…”

    Where does Shaar dare to let her do it? Hurriedly forced her to lie down, and they and Solleater ran to the back of the kitchen to get some hot rice porridge out, gave Yulia, Yulia barely ate a spoon, as if they could not eat, but looked at their own In the stomach, the woman frowned and bitten her teeth and ate all the bowl of porridge.

    “Thank you.”The woman ate the porridge, rested for a while, and her face was slightly better, at least not so scary.

    Subsequently, Yulia endured grief and asked Shaar some questions. Please Shaar tells how Kevin died in the end. Shaar didn't dare to say in detail. He was afraid of causing the other person's sorrow. He could only speak a few words and held Yulia. Lie down and rest.

    Shaar took out a cloth bag and placed it on the table. It was heavy, all gold coin.

    "This is the pension in the army…There are some of our comrades in the battle, please be sure to accept, we…"

    In fact, hillbilly lied.

    There are at least three hundred gold coins on the table, and the army’s pension is very small. Other comrades have made up some of them, but after all, everyone is a soldier. There is not much money left, but all add up to seven or eight gold. Coin only. There are fifty gold coins in it, which is handed over to Shaar by General Adrick alone. Adek is a clean general and has not much wealth.

    As for the rest, Shaar took all his savings, and he was filled with grandfather all the way. He was served by local officials at the local level, and he got some benefits and took them out.

    Seeing Yulia wanting to refuse, Shaar immediately resolutely said: "I know you don't want to receive it! Because no amount of money can be changed back to life! But please don't refuse! Because this is everyone's mind, even if it is for everyone's peace of mind, don't let everyone care about it, please accept it! ! ! ”
