Chapter 261: The Story of the Traveler Part 2: The Wind-like Man (Part 2)
"what do I do?"
At sunset, Isabella sat on the hillside in a daze.
She had been sitting all afternoon, and Nabil had been with him all afternoon.
The village chief had already set off and rushed to the lord's castle, wanting to ask the lord to send troops to exterminate the bandits. But from here to the castle, a back and forth, no matter how fast, will take at least two or three days - the premise is that the lord is willing to send troops.
According to an old man in the village, as long as there is food, money and a woman, the lord may not be willing to send troops for this loss.
After all, it is not easy to go deep into the mountains to attack the mountain thief's cottage. No matter how smooth it goes, at least a few people will die. In comparison, it's not worth it no matter how you look at it.
The old man who said this naturally received a lot of scorn, but no one could deny that he had a point.
A village girl and a few soldiers, which is more important? At a glance.
Dake said that Nabiling is a strong martial artist. As long as he is asked to protect the village, the bandit will not be willing to risk the death of a few people to fight him for the sake of a mere benefit.
However, this suggestion was also rejected by the villagers.
No matter how strong Nabiling is, he is only one person. In the face of the hordes of bandits, he could take care of one side but not the other, as long as seven or eight long spears would make him do nothing. Not to mention that the thief probably has bows and arrows. How could he avoid the cold arrows shot from the shadows during the battle?
Asking him to protect the village is just to let him die in vain, and to provoke the bandits.
Nai Biling is a good person, it's a pity to die, to anger the bandits, it's not a pity but a bad thing. The villagers wanted neither pity nor bad, so they had only one choice.
Hand over Isabella.
Anyway... just a little girl.
Of course Isabella's parents didn't want to, but there were only two of them, and there were almost two hundred people in the village. How could two people compete for more than two hundred people? Even though most people are not so thick-skinned, even if one out of ten people speaks at the same time, they can spit all over their faces and have nothing to say.
In the end, some people even felt that there was nothing wrong with handing Isabella to the bandit, and maybe they could take the opportunity to have a relationship with the bandit.
Listening to their words, Isabella became more and more annoyed, and simply ran out and ran to the hillside to look after the sheep.
Nai Biling silently followed by her side, without saying anything.
As she muttered to herself to the setting sun, the handsome bard finally spoke.
"If it's your wish, I can fight the bandits for you," he said.
Isabella laughed at first, but shook her head immediately.
"No! They're right, you can't beat so many bandits alone!"
Nabil shook his head and said nothing.
After a while, he said, "Well, I'll continue teaching you to sing."
Isabella nodded and continued to study with him.
As the sun gradually went down, instead of driving the sheep home as usual, she hugged Nabil.
"Take me with you, will you?" she whispered. "Let's leave Domremi to a place where no one can find us..."
Nai Biling was silent for a while and asked, "So, what about your family?"
"I...I don't know..." Isabella thought about it, what would happen to her family if she was not there when the bandits came? What will happen to the villagers? Her heart suddenly became a mess, and she didn't know what to do.
But her arms holding Nabiling tightened even more.
"At least...at least today...can you come and stay at my house?"
Her voice became quieter, her face became hot, and her heart was beating loudly, as if she was beating a drum.
Nai Biling thought for a while, then reached out and hugged her.
"Well, if that's your wish..."
...
[Xu Xiansen next door to you: Damn, I actually found a pirate's cottage in the eastern border of the Kingdom of Thrace. This cottage looks quite historical, I'm afraid there are good things. 】
[Horus: Where exactly? coordinate! 】
[Panda: I'm in Maxai Village. If nothing else happens, we can probably meet tomorrow. 】
[Xu Xiansen next door to you: What a coincidence! The cottage I found is nearby. To the north from Piselle, there is a small village called Domremi. I saw this cottage on the mountain north of the village. 】
[Horus: Damn it! so close? ! I'm leaving now! wait for me! Are you going with panda? 】
[Panda: ...It's a coincidence, well, I'm going too, give me the coordinates, I'll be there soon. 】
Nabiling got up quietly, the thin blanket slipped down because of his movements, and the moonlight shining in through the window couldn't hide Isabella's beautiful figure.
She is beautiful and cute.
Nai Biling smiled, and the linen robe that had been taken off the floor beside the bed disappeared abruptly, and then appeared on him.
He looked out the window, the moonlight was beautiful.
Such a beautiful scenery, used to kill people and set fires, is really a bit unpleasant.
But... talent is the most beautiful scenery.
As he thought so, his figure flashed and disappeared.
After a long time, Isabella woke up.
She opened her eyes and didn't see Nai Biling's figure, she was a little flustered.
After a few minutes, she got dressed and searched inside and outside the house, but could not find Nabil.
Her parents were sitting at the door in a daze. Seeing her running out in a panic, they hurriedly asked what happened. After learning the whole story, the second old man didn't panic, just looked at Muran and sighed secretly.
Obviously, Nabiling couldn't beat the hordes of bandits, and he didn't want to see Isabella being given to bandits, so he could only leave quietly.
"Don't look for it." Mother advised Isabella. "He's gone. It's okay to go. Do you want him to watch you being given to the bandit?"
Isabella, who was looking around, seemed to have been struck by lightning. She froze in place, and it took a while before she recovered.
"You're right..." She slowly sat on the ground, "it's better to go..."
As she spoke, her tears remained.
The family was in tears, but there was nothing they could do.
When it was almost dawn, the villagers came to her house.
The food and money for the bandits are ready, and they are ready to go up the mountain.
The thief's cottage is in the mountains, and it takes a long time to walk. If you leave late, you won't be able to catch up with noon.
They told Isabella to set off, and Isabella did not resist. Her eyes were a little red and swollen from crying, and she was a little dumbfounded. .
The mountain road is not easy to walk, and along the way, she almost fell several times. The most dangerous one, even almost fell off the cliff. If it wasn't for a strong wind blowing at that time, she would have fallen directly into the mountain stream and turned into a blur of flesh and blood.
When the villagers saw this scene, they surrounded her and watched closely.
In case something happened to her, she herself would be one hundred and one hundred, but it was everyone who was unlucky.
In the end, they finally arrived at the cottage, but what they encountered were not the thieves, but two adventurers who had killed the thieves and were sitting in the courtyard of the cottage barbeque.
Those two adventurers were really ferocious and imposing. They killed dozens of bandits, and the corpses were piled up in a pile. The villagers were so frightened that they lost their minds when they saw it. Some people even urinated their pants.
Isabella wasn't very scared, she was just glad.
Fortunately, she couldn't help but think of Nabiling again.
If he found out, he must be very happy, right?
Just then, she heard the sound of the piano and singing.
"Don't ask me where I come from, my hometown is far away..."
She turned her head in surprise, only to find that no one seemed to hear the singing.
Could it be... that only she heard it?
At this moment, she found that the bear-headed adventurer with a black and white face was looking thoughtfully in the direction of the song, and then looked at herself again, showing a clear smile.
At this moment, Isabella also understood.
These two adventurers clearly knew Nabil.
Perhaps...they were his friends at all, and were invited by him to help the village solve the trouble.
She remembered again that when she was in the cottage yard before, among the blood-stained footprints, there were footprints without shoes - Nabil never wore shoes, but his feet were never dirty, a little dust. nothing.
She finally smiled, a smile as beautiful as a mountain flower blooming in the sun.
