Although Winters, who left Wolf Town, had the idea of ​​"just escape back to Veneta" more than once, it was not put into practice.

Not to mention what to do if you are military membership after running away, relying on a horse alone is not enough to support a long journey. Not to mention how to get rid of the pursuit in this strange land?

Escape is unrealistic, so Lieutenant Montane can only think about it.

Winters came out of Wolftown not to abscond, but to find Andre.

His new partner was called "Redik" by the Dusa people, meaning a red-brown horse. So Winters also named the three-year-old stallion "Red Mane".

Winters, who had stepped on the Red Mane, immediately decided to go to Blackwater Town to meet Andre, and try Red Mane's skills.

The Alliance Army's equestrian divides horse footwork into five categories: slow steps, fast steps, running, big running and jumping. If you don't want to exhaust the horse, the last three footworks cannot last for a long time.

Therefore, the most common daily riding is to rush, and a war horse can run seven or eight kilometers per hour is considered qualified.

But Hong Zhui ran and rested, and took Winters to Hei Shui Town more than fifty kilometers away in just about six hours.

This speed and the negative factors that Red Bristle does not adapt to new riders. After it adapts to Winters' weight, the pace will be better.

It seems that the little ponytailer Angelu is right, Red Mane's foot strength is indeed great.

Although he knew that Red Mane was a good horse, Winters hadn't realized that he had actually picked up a big advantage. Because buying a war horse trained by an old rider is much easier than buying a raw horse to train from scratch.

The owner of the horse was willing to sell such a good horse to Winters entirely for Gillard Mitchell's sake.

Infantry officer Winters didn't know the goods, but cavalry officer Andre was Men Qing.

Just like when he first saw the strong fortune, Andre couldn't move his eyes away when he saw the Red Mane. His eyes shone brightly, and he circled around the Red Mane in amazing ways, looking and touching, just about to flow out of water.

If Winters hadn't been able to return to Langtun without his mount, I think Andre would have to ride with the Red Mane for a few days no matter what.

"Hey! How can you make sense for this? How can you, an infantryman, always get such a handsome horse?" Lieutenant Cellini stroked the horse's hair and said heartbrokenly: "It's a pity that Bad is not here! The bishop must like this horse when he sees this horse."

Winters couldn't help laughing at his friend's sigh.

Winters patted his horse's buttocks and said to Andre: "Then you get a horse for me, and this red mane will be given to you. Let's change the ride, how about it?"

"Get out!" Andre was even more sad: "Where did I get the money to buy a horse?"

"Then I'll talk about it when you have money. I'll have some serious things to come to you." Winters cursed his smile and asked Andre seriously: "Is there anyone from the family coming to find you?"

To be honest, Lieutenant Montagne felt comfortable in the wolf.

For Winters, who has lived in a crowded, dirty and busy city environment since childhood, the natural conditions in Wolf Town are so good that they can't be better.

It is located in the border of Paratu, with a vast land and sparse population and a high altitude, so the air is refreshing and clean. Looking around, there are no cramped houses, only the vast wilderness.

Moreover, as the only two civil servants in the town, he almost had the status of half a feudal lord. No one gave Winters the order, which made him very comfortable.

But Langtun Town is really too closed! There is no channel to understand external information at all.

Since Winters arrived in Wolf Town, he has not seen anyone from outside except for a few travelers.

Lieutenant Voyk said that the military postman would come to Wolf Town regularly in the future, but Winters has not seen the postman yet.

After only less than a week, Winters was eager to know what was going on in the outside world:

Has the dispute between Veneta and the United Province settled? How did Paratu and Veneta negotiate? When will he go home?

But when trapped in Langtun Town, Winters knew nothing. This isolation situation was almost a torture for him.

When asked about this, Andre's expression dimmed: "No! I didn't even see a Vineta in this broken place!"

"I thought Blackwater Town was bigger than Wolf Town, so the news was a little more informative." Winters was a little disappointed.

"Which one can compare to this bad place? I asked someone to send a message to Bard to see if he has any news." Andre spread his hands and said helplessly: "I am just a slut now, and I can live a day and count on a day. I have figured it out. If I don't work, I just want to resist. When I get home, I will be victorious!"

The two brothers in distress looked at each other, sighed at the same time, and smiled bitterly at the same time.

Although he received no news, Winters did not find anything.

When returning to Wolf Town from Blackwater the next day, Winters had two more heavy combs on his saddle.

The gun was borrowed from the arsenal of Heishui Town. Heishui Town is far more prosperous and wealthy than Langtun, so it can afford real weapons.

The muskets in Dusa Village are all hunting rifles with very small loads, and they are short of such amazingly powerful large-caliber muskets against large beasts.

So, Lieutenant Cellini lent two of the best convex guns to Wolf Town for free with a stroke of his pen.

I heard that there were large beasts appearing in the forest around Langtun. Andre, who was already so idle that he suddenly became extremely excited.

If it weren't for the fact that the garrison could not leave the garrison for too long, Lieutenant Cellini could have personally crawled into the forest of Wolf Town with a gun to "eliminate the harm for the people."

Even if he couldn't wait in Wolf Town, Andre grabbed Winters and repeatedly told him that if there was a certain trace of the giant beast, he would send a quick horse to notify him.

Andre patted his chest and promised to bring the best hunters in Blackwater Town to help.

Winters knew that Andrea Cellini was just feeling idle; he also knew that if it weren't for the wolf disaster, his current mental state would probably be similar to Andre.

Winters, who returned to Wolf Town with two heavy muskets, was surprised to find that he had just gone to Heishui Town for a day and there was a lot of trouble in Wolf Town.

Since I heard that there are ferocious beasts in the forest, the villagers in each village now look like ferocious beasts.

In a row, villagers came to the town office several times in a row and swore that they saw ferocious beasts near the village.

But when Mayor Mitchell brought his people to the sighting site, let alone beasts, they could not even find a hair.

When questioning witnesses again, the villagers' descriptions turned into "seeing black figures" or "hearing the roar of ferocious beasts".

This happened repeatedly, and by chance, the town resident Winters went to Hei Shui Town again, and Mayor Mitchell, a person over 50 years old, was exhausted.

Another time during this period, a villager in Hexi Village was frightened by the "huge black beast shadow" he said, and in panic, he ran directly to light the beacon.

When the old Sergei and Dusaks rushed to Hexi Village in a hurry, they found that the villagers in Hexi Village had already gone to work again like nothing had happened, which made the old man so angry that he cursed.

Winters, who returned to Wolf Town, took the hunter Ralph to go around again and checked every so-called "witnessing evil beasts", but no evidence of claw marks or animal hair was found at all.

Although the villagers swear that they must have seen the ferocious beast, Winters is 80% sure they are scaring themselves.

On the way back to the town office, Winters asked the hunter: "Did you find anything in the woods when I went to Hei Shui Town this day?"

"Sir, I found some trees with peeling skin in the forest in the Protestant village, and found black and brown animal hair on the tree." The old hunter Ralph said with a restrained look and respectfully: "From the habit, ferocious beasts may be sluts, and bears like to rub their backs on the trees. But even if they are sluts, they must be a big, big one. However, bears eat more pine berries on weekdays and may not necessarily disturb us."

"Continue to observe, be careful, come to me for any situation." Winters asked a few words and asked the hunter again: "How is it, is your son still adapting to living in Mitchell's house?"

To be safe, the hunters and son temporarily moved out of the woods. Gillard invited them to live in his home, but Ralph refused to stay in the guest room like a guest, but instead took his son and Mitchell's long-time workers.

"I'm sorry, I'm concerned." Ralph's vicissitudes of life showed a smile on his face: "Captain Mitchell has always been very good to us father and son, and I'm very grateful."

"Captain Mitchell?" Winters captured a special title, and only the people in Dusa Village called Gillard.

He raised his eyebrows and asked the hunter in confusion: "Ralph, are you also Dussa?"

“It was.”

Winters was even more puzzled: "Then why don't you live with the Dusaks?"

After being silent for a long time, the hunter Ralph replied with difficulty: "Sorry, sir. I can't remember why."

Although he was confused, when the hunter didn't want to say anything, Winters didn't continue to ask.

...

Back in the town center, Winters went to the blacksmith shop first.

In this era, only cities have professional craftsmen, because full-time craftsmen cannot support themselves in the countryside.

Farmers don’t need tailors, bakers, builders… They sew clothes, toast, and build houses for themselves.

But not everyone has the ability to extract metals, burn red iron billets, forge and bend hot steel. Moreover, forging is a heavy asset industry, and not only requires technology, but also various tools.

So blacksmiths are one of the few professional and technical personnel who can make a living in rural areas. Farmers can live well without tailors, bakers and stonemasons, but they need blacksmiths.

Blacksmiths play an important role in rural life. They need to find blacksmiths to make farm tools, blacksmiths to make pots, and even blacksmiths to pull teeth.

The Blacksmith shop is of course also an important part of the commercial street of Lang Town - although there are only buildings in the center of the town that can be counted with one horizontal and one vertical dirt road and ten fingers.

The blacksmith in Wolf Town is also a Dusak. After being placed in Wolf Town, he started to make an old business. The blacksmith shop was originally in Dusak Village, and after the village was established, Gillard took a lot of effort to convince the blacksmith to move the shop to the town.

The shop was very simple, without even a shop, with the forge and anvil open to the street.

A young man who looked in his early twenties was naked, clamping a bright yellow iron bar with pliers in his left hand, and holding a small hammer in his right hand, busy by the forging fire.

This young man is of medium size, shorter and thinner than Winters. Just from his body shape, he is far from the burly and powerful blacksmith in general.

But the hammer in the young man's hand seemed to have special magic. With his light hit, the hot steel was bent gracefully, and in the blink of an eye, a horseshoe revealed its shape.

Looking at the young man forging iron billets, Winters suddenly remembered Anna's comment on the loggia stone sculpture: "It is not that the stone is chiseled into a portrait, but that the person trapped in the stone is chiseled out."

The young man in front of him was so skillful that even an outsider, Winters, could tell.

After watching the young man beat a horseshoe, Winters asked, "Are you here? Are you the owner of the shop? Why haven't you seen you before?"

Winters asked, and the young man who was fully focused on forging iron billets realized that someone was coming. He looked up at Winters and nodded with a smile.

The young man's face was so smoked that his teeth were white.

The loud voice of the blacksmith shop owner Lao Misha came from the backyard: "How could I be so lucky! If that kid in my family could have half of his business, I would die without regrets, sir."

Misha came to the front yard and pointed at the young man and introduced: "This is Berion from the Protestant Village. When you came before, he went to the city to feed. Berion, this is Lieutenant Montane, the mayor of the town!"

The young man who was thundering, Berryon seemed to be unable to let go, and he squeezed out a smile and bowed, but did not speak.
