Marvel With Zanpakuto Chapter 735: The source of trouble
The man settled down in the town.
No one knows where he came from, just a few words from old John, the poor guy who learned that he was lost in the forest, washed by a mudslide into a mountain stream, and then lost his memory.
Old John, the elder in the village, gave the man a new name 'Luka', which translates from Old Norse as 'the lucky man blessed by the gods'.
In fact, men are lucky.
Under such extreme rainstorm weather, and yet another disaster like a mudslide, to be able to survive intact, to a certain extent, it is already a very lucky thing.
In a remote town, the villagers are kind and simple. They showed great tolerance and kindness towards this unfortunate foreign man. They brought out dried fish and aged mead to serve them. man.
Although the man looks thin, he has a lot of strength. He can easily carry a hundred kilograms of things with his hands, especially logging. Three axes can cut it down.
On the one hand, it was to repay the kindness of old John for taking in and saving his life, and on the other hand, to avoid the behavior of free food. After discovering his talent, the man volunteered to help the villagers in the whole town and undertake the work of logging and chopping firewood.
As a result, the firewood for the winter in the town basically fell on the man. Occasionally, he would go hunting or fishing in the mountains with other young men, and his life was quite fulfilling.
Just like that, the days go by.
It's been three months since he came to the town. During this time, he got along with the villagers, especially Old John's granddaughter. Yvette seems to like him very much, and often sticks behind him like a follower. twitter.
"Luca ~ Luca~"
On a small road in the mountains, Yvette ran over and shouted happily: "Grandpa said that two days are the fire festival, I want you to go back early, don't delay too late!"
Bang——
The man let out a deep breath, then clenched the wooden handle of the axe in his hand, and suddenly swung a sharp arc. The axe blade easily split the tree trunk, and fell down a huge tree surrounded by several people.
"Got it..."
The man looked back at Yvette and said helplessly: "The mountain is so dangerous, so don't come alone. What if you encounter a bear?"
Although it is still winter and most bears are hibernating, there are still a few bears who wake up from hibernation to hunt.
Don't think that in winter, bears actually sleep for a few months, and they still come out in between, but only rarely.
"I'm not afraid~"
Yvette walked over with a smile, tangled her **** together, tilted her head and smiled: "Besides, if I meet a bear, Luca will definitely protect me!"
"I can't beat a bear."
The man smiled helplessly, rubbed the girl's hair dotingly, and said, "Don't run into the mountains alone in the future. If you really run into a bear, I won't be able to save you in time."
"Liar!"
Yvette stared with big eyes and puffed up her cheeks like a cute puffer fish: "I heard Vader and the others say that you killed a brown bear by yourself last time, and they called you Austrian. Ding's warrior."
"It was just an accident..."
The man was even more helpless and said: "And don't listen to their nonsense, it's just a coincidence to drive it away. After all, I'm just an ordinary person, how can I hunt and kill a brown bear."
He is very clear about the little girl's mind. It is nothing more than a plot of worship. Staying in a mountain isolated from the world, suddenly seeing an outsider, it is easy to feel dependent, and he can only choose to stay away from it.
"I don't believe it!"
Yvette didn't believe it at all. She held the man's forearm affectionately and said with a smile, "Luca is the most powerful. Grandpa said you are very strong."
"Yvette, I'm about to chop wood, you wait for me first." The man shook his head with a wry smile, using an excuse to break free of the girl, then picked up the axe and prepared to split the felled trees.
Yvette sat on the side obediently, quietly waiting for the man to finish chopping the firewood, with her green eyes, beautiful like a clear spring in the mountains, staring straight at the man.
Old John's axe is not very sharp. Even because it was not sharpened when he went out today, the rusted edge looks a little dull, but even such an axe, in the hands of this man, is like a weapon of magic, light and light. Cut off the trunk easily and loosely, and then cut two by two, splitting hundreds of kilograms of firewood.
The size of each of these firewoods seems to have been accurately measured, and they are piled up to a height of several meters. Ordinary people have a headache when they look at them.
However, to a man, the weight of several hundred kilograms is nothing. After tying up the firewood with a rope, he lightly lifted it with one hand and held it behind his back.
"Alright, let's go."
The man carried a pile of firewood that was taller than himself and said to the little girl, "If you don't go back, Old John will come to you later."
"No~ Grandpa knows I'm coming for you." Yvette jumped over, hugged the man's arm affectionately, stuck out half of her pink tongue, and said cutely, "Luka, come down the mountain. The road is not easy to walk, can you hold me!"
The man looked helpless. Although he saw through the girl's tricks, he couldn't directly refuse. He could only hold the girl's little hand and instructed: "Follow me on the road, be careful."
When the two returned to the town, it was already darkening.
Old John was at the head of the village, and when he saw the two returning, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened, and his eyes fell on the hand held by Yvette and Luca.
"Grandpa~ we're back!"
Yvette ran over happily, threw herself into the arms of the old man, and then a pair of beautiful big eyes flashed with admiration and joy: "Grandpa, you don't know, Luca is really amazing, he With two swishes, a big tree fell down!"
"Oh, grandpa knows~"
Old John had a look of worry in his eyes, but he concealed it very well. He raised his hand and rubbed his granddaughter's blond hair, and said with a smile, "The Wesson family next door wants to make mead, so I want you to come and help."
"Hmm~ I'll go!"
When Yvette heard the mead, her eyes lit up, her face was flushed red, as if she had smeared rouge, she shyly glanced at the man quietly, then pursed her mouth and chuckled, tiptoeing and jumping. Jump and run.
Fire Festival has a tradition.
A woman offers a honey-brewed wine to a man she loves and invites him to dance a dance in front of a bonfire, so that she can get the blessing of God Odin and live happily ever after.
Seeing the girl running away, Old John was silent for a while, came to the man, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Yvette is my granddaughter, and I watched her grow up."
"She is like an angel, pure, beautiful, kind, I just want her to be safe, live a healthy life and not be involved in any danger, can you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." The man nodded silently.
"I don't know your past."
Old John looked deeply at the man and said, "But I'm sure your past isn't easy, and my gut tells me...it would be dangerous to get involved with you."
"Relax...Old John~IndoMTL.com~ The man's eyes were full of loneliness, he nodded and said, "I won't let you get involved in danger, Yvette... She's a good boy, I just treat her as my sister. "
"I understand."
Old John sighed and said, "When the Fire Festival is over, the weather will get warmer, and when the snow melts, you... just leave here."
"Um..."
The man nodded in response.
"I'm sorry..."
Old John looked at the man with guilt, and sighed: "You can be...my selfishness."
"Don't apologize."
The man grinned and said, "If you hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I'd be dead now. If I just leave, I can repay your kindness, which is perfect for me."
