Chapter 128 Come back early
"Brother Locke, will we have any tasks to go back to the town tomorrow?" asked the soldier who called Mali from the following people.
He also came from Maple Leaf Village, but unfortunately Locke didn't have a deep impression of him, so he probably joined the army later.
"There should be." Locke just said this, without a specific answer.
"Will you continue to guard the southern border?" Hank continued. This recruit who had only been in the army for a few months still remembered the fierce siege of Audis City. He didn't want to fight again.
"No." Locke said confidently. Why did their battalion go to the southern border to accompany him before? Baron Kaidozi had roughly explained that Locke believed that their battalion would not go to muddy waters.
"That's good." Hank grinned. He had just joined the army and felt a sense of passion. He was hit by a blow and retreated again.
"Brother Hank, don't worry, it's definitely not our turn to fight hard. Even if there is, I will protect you, brother." Mali smiled, obviously flattering Hank.
Ma Li was indeed recruited in the army later. He joined the army two years after the war began. He has been a veteran of three years of military service, but unfortunately he is still a third-class private.
Hank has the face of his brother Hans, and with the care of Locke and others, he took off his servant's hat and was promoted to privateer in just two months. It has to be said that there are privileges everywhere.
Hank is also a personal talent. He knows that Ma Li is pleasing him and is smiling and mingling with soldiers such as Ma Li.
Rock and Hans, Kane walked in the front.
"Did you guess something?" Hans asked. He was the brother who had been with Locke the longest, knowing that Locke might have guessed the next task.
Hans, who is already the squadron leader, now has less stupidity than before, and has become more confident when he thinks more.
"It should be the thieves and robbers around him." Locke sighed. Of course, he was not doing nothing these days, but just knew how to enjoy life. When talking to the villagers, he often heard the rampant deeds of thieves nearby.
The five consecutive years of war have caused the lives of countless young and middle-aged soldiers in the Kingdom of Fostein. Some of them are unwilling to go to the battlefield to die and become bandits and occupy mountains and become kings. Although the Kingdom of Fostein has achieved prominent victories in the foreign countries, there is often chaos in the country.
Even the southern Del Province, the not-wealthy Kaidozi, has bred countless gray forces.
Baron Kaidozi has been on the front line for many years, not only leaving a squadron of soldiers to stay in Kaidozi's leadership, but also taking a low-level attendant-level strongman under his command as the leader.
These thieves and robbers did not dare to fight with the Baron's troops head-on, and could only wander around, causing several chaos to the leader of Kaidozi every year.
Lock even learned from the village chief that what is now "covering" their village is actually a group of more than ten thieves called "Wild Wolf". Maple Leaf Village has to pay a certain amount of food and money to this thieves every month so that they can avoid being harassed.
If Locke hadn't wanted to feel the warmth of home for a while, he would have called all his men to slaughter the gang of thieves.
They fought desperately on the front line, but these guys were afraid of death and dared not join the army. How could Locke bear it?
If the opponent is just a group of thieves and robbers, Hans doesn't care at all. He has been practicing fighting qi for a while, and he has only stabilized the fighting vortex now. But that's it. Hans feels that he can beat ten at one.
"I've wanted to loosen my muscles and bones a long time ago." Kane moved his joints. He has been hit hard these days. If he could kill a few thieves who harmed his neighbors, Leah would probably look up to him a little higher.
When they returned to the village, everyone said hello and went back to their homes, "Brother Locke, can I have a meal at your house?" Kane tilted his mouth, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Locke with a quick look.
Locke was amused by this guy's funny expression, "If you want to come, come!" Locke smiled and punched him.
He knew why Kane had to go to his house for free. He might have felt uncomfortable a few days ago, but now he won't.
Locke knows his sister. Although she is gentle, she looks like her mother Tia in her bones. She is a stubborn and subjective conjecture person. Kane is probably not going to be able to do so.
After receiving Locke's approval, Kane grinned and threw the hare, pheasants and the like on his back to Hans, and snatched a deer corpse from Hans.
"Hey, can you leave some for me?" Hans said helplessly.
"No, this is my beating, of course I'll do it." Kane was confident.
"I'll help, okay?" Hans held his forehead.
"This time I will be my turn, I will give you all the fight next time, okay." Kane did not give in at all.
"Brother, brother! Let's go." Hank saw the opportunity and hurriedly pulled Hans and walked home. Now, among the group, Hans, the rash man, didn't see Kane's thoughts towards Leah.
Speaking of this deer, Locke and his friends discovered it when they first entered the forest in the morning. They chased after them for a whole morning before they caught it.
The deer had just passed one winter and was hungry and had no fat meat. I really don't know where it got the strength to run so fast. Hans directly used a stone to drive the deer to save it from moving around.
Kane excitedly knocked on the door of the Rock's house with a deer corpse on his back. Old Rock and Tia warmly welcomed Kane's arrival. What they cared more about was the deer. Deer in this season is rare and difficult to catch.
"The younger generation is so terrifying." Old Locke exclaimed.
Kane was obviously very proud. He wanted to get Leah's praise even more. Unfortunately, as soon as he walked over, Leah frowned and walked away.
Locke, carrying a lot of prey, saw Kane's embarrassing appearance as soon as he entered the door and couldn't help laughing. His sister Lea has always disliked the smell of blood. Kane is currently covered in deer blood, and the old Locke and Tia, who are only so old, don't care.
"Come on, give it to me, I'll get it for you." Lea walked to the door and stretched out her hand to Locke.
Of course, Locke did not give all the prey on his body to his sister, but only handed one or two of them, and they brought them into the woodshed together.
It is still mid-February and the weather is still cold. The meat is marinated and hung in the woodshed, so you don’t have to worry about it breaking down.
The staple food tonight was roasted whole deer and rice potato porridge. Locke and Kane set up a barbecue grill in the yard. Leah and her mother Tia cooked rice potato porridge, added salt, star anise, and Huba's rice potato porridge exuded a strong fragrance.
Locke and Kane had already cleaned up the deer's deer, leaving only the edible meat and skeletons, wearing a wooden stick and putting it directly on the barbecue grill.
Locke, holding the dagger, occasionally gave the venison, and then sprinkled with seasonings to allow the fragrance of the seasonings to blend with the venison in high temperatures.
Except for Kane's help when barbecuing, the rest was done by Locke independently.
The silver-bright dagger and the red dagger handle were like beautiful butterflies dancing over the bonfire.
Old Lock still remembered the dagger that Locke had brought when he first joined the army, and said in surprise, "After so many years, this dagger seems to be of good quality."
Leah's eyes were on the dagger. Although the color had been dyed red, Leah could still guess that this was the one she had given Locke at the time. Thinking of it, she lowered her head and thoughts.
A whole deer, because it didn't have much meat, was wiped out two-thirds of the meal.
Most of the venison is lean meat and very chewy. Locke ate very comfortably. He and Kane are the main players in the meals. Old Locke and Tia can no longer bite the venison. Leah only ate a little because of her small appetite.
In the evening, Kane said hello to the Rock family and went back to Hans' house to sleep. Rock helped the house to clean up the chores and lay in bed early.
He and his sister Lea still live in the same room, but in the past two days, Old Locke and Tia have also discovered something wrong. They are already planning to find the carpenters and bricklayers in the village to add another room for their family.
Now the old couple has the huge sum of money given to them by Locke, and they are not short of money at all.
Not long after lying in bed, my sister Lea also entered the room. Locke breathed smoothly and seemed to be asleep.
Seeing this, Lea gently took off her clothes. She had been wearing this underwear for almost a week, because Locke was in the room and it was not convenient to change to a new one.
When Lea was changing clothes on one side, Locke on the other side held his breath and did not dare to move. Locke, a low-level attendant, had a keen observation ability, allowing him to see things clearly at night. Of course, he discovered what his sister was doing.
Resisting the peek, Locke silently activates his fighting spirit to calm down his somewhat agitated blood.
Time is always long and short, and Lea has changed her clothes and laid on the bed at some point.
Locke breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go to bed, but he found that he couldn't sleep anymore. Turn left and right, and Locke was thinking about the scene just now.
When his wooden bed made a "creaking, creaking" sound, Lock finally stopped restless. After all, it was his bed when he was a child. Lock, who was already 1.78 meters tall, is now lying on the bed, and can only curl up to ensure that his feet are not on the ground. In addition, the quality of the wooden bed is not good, Lock has made up his mind to go to the town in a few days to re-customize a bed.
At this moment, his sister Lea suddenly opened her mouth and said, "You are going to town tomorrow, aren't you?"
Locke didn't know when Leah found out she wasn't asleep, so he paused and could only say, "Yes, Uncle Yoshik asked, I'll report it."
When the troops returned home, the Baron gave Yoshak and Locke the leadership of the soldiers in the Mine Town. Because Locke had always been in the army under Yoshak, he did not overestimate the leader, and everything was mainly based on Uncle Yoshak.
"Will you come back?" Lea asked. She didn't care about the fact that Rock wasn't actually asleep just now.
"Of course." Locke affirmed, "If you can't say it's time to come back in the afternoon."
Locke was also the squadron leader and the cavalry squadron. Although Uncle Yoshak was the main tone, he was also inseparable from Locke's approval.
"Come back early." Lea didn't say much, just like that, closing her eyes and silently.
Lock looked at Leah lying on the bed. The bright moonlight shone through the wooden window and shone on Leah's bed. It was so holy and beautiful-
