Chapter 219: 218. Dinner Party in the Village
Chapter 219 218. Dinner in the village
The whole village gathered together, and the successive years of plane wars made the number of women in the village at least twice that of men.
Women gathered together and chatted, almost breaking the sky.
A group of young people danced around the bonfire. Seeing Suldak's quiet and gentle personality, some young girls ran over and boldly invited Suldak to dance together.
The young girl pulled Rasuldak out of the crowd, and amidst the cheers, joined the group dancing around the bonfire. Everyone stepped on the same beat, and the simple dance steps made it easy for people to blend in. Holding the warm and soft little hand beside him, the clear smile that does not contain any impurities constantly infects Suldak. Perhaps this is the real life of the optimistic and strong Hailansa people.
The stars in the night sky are twinkling. It is rare to have such an activity in the mountain village at night. Everyone is reluctant to go home early.
Wall Village is located on the edge of the barren land at the southern foot of the Pagros Mountains, and the annual rainfall here is very rare, because the mountains are covered with limestone everywhere, and even the entire mountain is a huge limestone, but due to years of weathering , Numerous rocks cracked and peeled off, and large and small gullies were formed under the erosion of rainwater.
Not only is there little rainfall here, but the biggest problem is that it cannot store rainwater. The rainwater that falls gathers into creeks and finally gathers in low-lying areas, but this is not their end. There is no soil left on the ridge field, no vegetation grows, and it is bare everywhere. The gray mountains stretch almost endlessly in sight. It is these factors that make this area very barren.
Looking up at the main line of Pagros Mountain, it should be an endless gray mountain silent in the night, but the high mountain in the north is different from other mountains, that mountain peak lights up a dark color at night The red light looks like a trace of sunset left by the sun before it has completely set.
According to the young people in the village, it was a mountain they called 'pustules'. It was an active volcano that erupted magma all the year round. Someone once climbed to the top of that mountain. It is said that there was a vast expanse of magma there. The magma spewed out from countless cracks, and produced a lot of thick smoke.
Because it is at least tens of kilometers away from Wall Village, people can only realize its existence at night when they see the red light in the sky.
The villagers gradually became familiar with Suldak, and many people took the initiative to talk to Suldak.
Suldak had a headache about where to live at night. If they set up a tent in the village, what would the villagers think of the old Sheila family? If you set up a tent, no one should find out.
Since he told old Sheila that he would leave voluntarily today, it would be a bit embarrassing to go back at this time, so Suldak decided to wait until the bonfire party was over, and then quietly left alone.
In the eyes of the villagers in Wall Village, the sheep's head is the most essential part of a sheep. Usually only the village head is entitled to enjoy the sheep's head, but now this sheep's head is placed in front of Suldak. Dak just took a look at the pair of eyes and yellow teeth on the sheep's head, which looked like the head of an evil spirit, and immediately felt that he couldn't eat any meat.
The sheep's head on the plate was reheated in the soup pot again, and then placed in front of him, Suldak could only smile and nod to the woman with outstanding figure to express his gratitude. Being able to make rough linen clothes look like silk, Suldak couldn't help but look at her twice.
Hood leaned into Suldak's ear and whispered: "Do you think Selina is beautiful? She is not only the most beautiful widow in our village, but also the most beautiful widow in this area, but you'd better stay away from her." , there are rumors that she is an ominous witch, she can see the past, present and future, and she will bring disasters and diseases to those around her."
"Wizard?" Suldak asked.
In the Grimm Empire, the magic guild controls almost all magic studies in the empire. Wizards, warlocks, prophets, astrologers, shamans, and druids have almost no living space in the empire. The priests and battle priests in the temple were the ones who resisted, but as the temple chose to be silent in accordance with the oracle after the outbreak of the plane war, the magicians dominated the Grimm Empire.
His eyes fell on the back of the woman, her black hair was tied into a braid, she was sitting alone beside the boiling soup pot, no one dared to approach her, only a thin little girl huddled under her skirt , the little girl was lifting a corner of the long skirt at this time, secretly peeking outside.
Hood also sighed, with regret on his face, and whispered to Suldak: "Everyone else said that...that she is a cursed woman, and wherever she goes, there will be disasters."
Seeing how Hood cowered, he didn't even want others to know that he was talking about that woman.
Suldak glanced at the woman again. He didn't feel the breath of magic from her just now, and he was somewhat doubtful about the authenticity of the news.
It was late at night, and gradually the people in the village began to disperse. Suldak felt that it was time for him to find an opportunity to leave Wall Village.
He turned his head and looked around, but he didn't find his ancient horse.
Normally, the horse would never leave his sight. The horse and he were partners who walked back from the battlefield together. They didn’t even need to communicate about many things. Sometimes it only needed a simple look or a movement from Suldak. , the horse will understand Suldak's instructions.
Instead of seeing his own horse, he saw the woman who was rumored to be ominous by the villagers.
The woman named Selina was cleaning the soup pot by the campfire, and when she saw her take out the white boiled lamb bones and put them in a linen bag, no one wanted to approach her at this time, until Selina Na took a little girl by the hand and left before the women in the village divided up the last of the miscellaneous goods and soup in the soup pot, and several men carried the big iron pot back to the village's public warehouse.
Suldak was looking for his horse, but he saw old Sheila walking slowly, holding little Peter's hand. Suldak stopped, and little Peter broke away from old Sheila's hand and galloped towards Suldak Coming over, Suldak was worried that he was running too fast, so he hurriedly went up to him and hugged him. Little Peter grabbed Suldak's hair with both hands, and laughed non-stop.
Suldak could clearly feel the happiness from the bottom of Peter's heart. He raised his head and glanced at Old Sheila.
The old woman in front of him seemed to be several years older than when he saw her for the first time yesterday. Suldak could feel her sadness, and she couldn't show it in front of outsiders. Suldak said a little bit to old Sheila Nodding, he went up and wanted to return little Peter to old Sheila. He had even thought of words to comfort little Peter.
Unexpectedly, it was Old Sheila who spoke first. She glanced at Suldak lightly: "Go home."
