Chapter 125 Return to Hometown
A team of cavalry traveled through the jungle path.
"Brother Locke, how long is it?" asked the frigid boy.
"It should be soon." Locke was not sure about his head.
This is Locke and his squadron on the way back to his hometown. To be precise, it is the cavalry squadron of Mine Town.
Two days ago, they finally arrived at their battalion led by Kaidozi. Under the Baron's assignment, each squadron was led by the squadron leader and returned to their hometown.
The members of this cavalry team are all young men from the Mining Town, with more than ten people.
In addition to the cavalry, there were nearly a hundred infantry squadrons behind them, led by Yoshak, Karl and Hans.
Relying on the horses, Locke and other cavalrymen set apart from the infantry behind and could not wait to meet their relatives.
"I'd have taken a familiar journey if I had known it." Locke said annoyedly. Their cavalry happened to be a group of young people. Locke, who had been young in the military camp, was the oldest among the more than ten people at this time.
After being away from home for so long, Locke could only vaguely remember the direction of the road. As for the precise distance, he would not have any impression of him.
"Let's speed up, at most one day and a half, it will definitely be here!" Locke slapped his head and said confidently.
The path they took must be correct. After being a soldier for so many years, Locke would not have even taken the wrong path. Since the road and direction are opposite, if you continue like this, you will definitely be able to go to Mine Town.
Mine Town, Maple Leaf Village.
"Tia, Tia!" Aunt Mary, who was loudly shouting in the village, woke up her neighbor early in the morning.
"What's wrong, Mary?" Tia, sleepy-eyed, opened the door of her yard and looked at Mary standing at the door curiously.
While pushing his body into the yard, Mary said, "I heard that Locke, Hans and the others are coming back. Let's go to the mine to guard!"
In the yard, Leah was chopping wood. Seeing this, Mary said, "Leah, why are you chopping wood? Come with the aunt!" As she said that, she grabbed Leah, who was still chopping wood with a headscarf, and walked out.
"What! They are coming back!" A muffled sound came from the room, and Old Locke randomly put on his clothes and rushed out.
"Yes, yes, the news just came from the town!" said Mary, "My old man has already brought the eldest and third brothers to go first."
"Let's go! Let's go too!" Old Rock and Tia supported each other and walked out without saying a word.
Leah didn't care about chopping wood at this time, but she didn't go with Aunt Mary immediately, but ran back to her boudoir first, changed into the farm clothes she was wearing at this time, put on the new clothes her mother Tia made for her during the Chinese New Year, untied her headscarf wrapped in three thousand black hairs, and her long, beautiful and straight hair fell down like a waterfall.
"Lea! What are you still doing? Hurry, Tia and the others have already walked away!" Aunt Mary's urging came in the yard.
Lea replied, "It's good." She chose the white one in the drawer at the bedside, and chose the white one.
Having put on a scarf, Lea tidied up the corners of her clothes, ran out, took Aunt Mary's arm, and ran towards the village head.
Mary didn't know what Lea was doing at first. She complained about the child being slow, but the next second she was surprised by Lea's appearance changing a lot.
In neat and new clothes, she pulled off the headscarf of rural women who had wrapped their heads and put on white hair scarves, and with her already pretty good looks, Mary, a woman who was almost forty, was stunned.
"Leya, you dress up to be devastated by the big guys in the town!" Mary smiled.
"Oh, aunt, don't make fun of it, let's go quickly." Lea pushed Mari lightly, and then ran and chased Old Locke and Tia with constant speed.
Seeing Leah so beautiful and always being thrifty, Mary was moved and said, "My Hans boy is back this time, and he is a big boss. I should find a good wife for him."
Leah didn't have a deep impression of Hans. In her eyes, Hans was the child who always followed his younger brother and had a snot when he was a child. Hans had been playing with Locke since he was a child.
"Yes, Hans is coming back too. Aunt Mary, you should think about peace." Leah didn't know what Aunt Mary was going to say, but it just fits the saying.
"If you want to find a wife, you must also find someone as beautiful and virtuous as Leah." Aunt Mary squinted her eyes and smiled.
This time, Leah understood Aunt Mary's meaning and politely refused, "Hans is the squadron leader, so he can definitely find a better one."
Hans was promoted to squadron leader two months ago to return to Mining Town, when Audis City had not been captured yet.
Mary also heard Leah's rejection, and he didn't care. In the past six months since Locke was promoted to squadron leader, many wealthy families in the town have failed to propose marriage. Not only are there married daughters, but more people see Leah being beautiful and wanting to become in-laws with the old Locke's family.
Without exception, they were rejected by Old Locke and Tia. According to their statement, their daughter is still young and doesn't want to get married so early.
He has been a neighbor with the Locke family for so many years, but others don’t know it, but Mary doesn’t know it. It’s obviously Leah who doesn’t want to.
There are many girls who get married at the age of 16 in their village. Leah is 21 and is already considered an old girl. Old Locke and Tia are not in a hurry. She, the neighbors, are anxious. Mary no longer considers the ideas of Old Locke and the others. She held Leah's hand and walked quickly towards the entrance of the village.
Not only them who received the news, but the whole village knew about the men who were in the army were coming back. There were male soldiers at home, and today they all took their families with their families to welcome them to the town.
When Mary and Lea reached the entrance of the village, there were already many villagers gathered here, all from Maple Leaf Village.
"Are you all together? Let's go!" On a huge rock at the entrance of the village, there was an old man with a hunched back. The old man was the village chief of Maple Leaf Village.
The village chief waved his hand and almost all the people in the village rushed to the town. This situation was several times more lively than going to the market.
A century-old maple tree next to the huge rock at the entrance of the village, with yellow leaves falling down in the wind, and a little green reveals new buds.
At night, by the bonfire, more than a dozen soldiers in Fostein uniforms sat together and grilled food.
One of the gray-haired young men sat in the center, and the other soldiers around him were faintly led by the young men.
"I know this wood!" said the young man grilling a hare suddenly.
This attracted the attention of other soldiers around him, "Brother Locke, where is this?" asked the soldier who was approaching Locke.
"This seems to be the five-mile forest outside the Mining Town." Locke replied, "When I came out of Mining Town, I was also passing by."
After Locke said this, the soldiers around him suddenly realized that most of them also went out to fight from here six years ago.
"It seems to be true!" shouted the soldier who had spoken before.
"If so, it's coming soon." Locke said, "I guess I'll be in Mining Town tomorrow!"
When the soldiers around him heard this, they all smiled, and everyone couldn't wait to see their relatives.
"Where are Captain Shak and others behind?" Locke asked a soldier next to him.
The soldier thought for a while and replied, "They're not far from us. They can also go to Mining Town tomorrow if they are half a day away."
When Lock heard this, he felt relieved. It seemed that the soldiers led by Uncle Xiake were eager to be family-oriented. The speed of the cavalry was not much worse than that of their cavalry, and it was only half a day away.
Two days ago, since the Baron issued an order to scatter back home, each soldier, led by his own squadron leader, used all his strength to rush the road.
Grace and Xia Xi were placed in a town outside the Baron Castle by Locke. Unlike the Sharlot nobles who liked to build their mansions in the town, the Forstein nobles were mostly keen on building forts.
Every noble castle is a small military fortress, which may be one of the reasons why Fostertan has been strong for hundreds of years.
The town outside the Baron Castle is no worse than a small city in Charlotte. Rock gave Xia Xi a lot of money and asked them to stay in the hotel for the time being. By the way, he also asked the soldiers living in the town to help take care of them.
Most of the soldiers in the cavalry squadron's family lived in a town outside the Baron's Castle, where Xia Xi and the four girls lived, which could be considered as staying at Locke's home court. If there were unaware of the eyes, I believe that the group of soldiers would be well treated.
The reason why they were not brought with them was that Locke couldn't explain the origin of the four girls, and the other was that he didn't know how to introduce the four girls to his parents and fellow villagers.
There are not many people in Fostertan who have a good impression of the Charlottes in China. I don’t know how many Fostertan’s family was broken because of the war with Charlotte. Locke has repeatedly emphasized how many women should not expose their nationality.
The hare that was rolling over the bonfire, "squeezing" grease dripped into the fire, and a scent came out.
The roast was almost done, and Locke blew it and bit it with one bite. It was so delicious. The hare in his hometown was also delicious than Charlotte, Locke thought.
The surrounding forest is not big, only a mere two or three miles away. Standing at a high place, you can even see the four boundaries of this forest.
But such a small forest formed a complete ecosystem. The dinners of Locke and his team of cavalrymen were all obtained from this forest, and the dry food they brought did not move at all.
Why do you still have to bite hard bread if you can eat meat?
Although there was a lot of wild game, Locke did not find any trace of the demonized creatures, and he didn't even feel any elemental fluctuations. Not to mention the demonized creatures, there was not even magical plants in this forest.
It seems that only places like Mofi Forest or the Bering Mountains can see demonized creatures and even monsters everywhere.
After swallowing the last bite of rabbit meat, Locke shouted, "After eating, rest on the spot, Rusco, it's time for you two to watch, let's go home tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Locke's words received responses from all the soldiers-
