After the Legend Chapter 32: Small village

She turned her head to look at the few people who were talking, and saw that they were all dressed in similar clothes to the locals, with only animal skin coats added. Wine and meat, and a thick wooden staff in their hands, but the knife or dagger around their waist reveals that they are not good people.

Those people also found that Ming Na was staring at them, but they didn't pay attention to a little girl who was described as a little embarrassed (just came out of the mountains and didn't wash her face for a few days), and even thought that It was because the luggage on his back was too large that it caught the little devil's attention, so he bared his teeth at her: "What are you looking at?! Little devil's head, I will goug out your eyes if you look at it again!"

Minna turned her head quickly and ran a few steps to keep up with Grandpa. She is no longer the little girl who didn't understand anything more than half a year ago. In winter, she heard a lot of bedtime stories from her grandfather and Uncle Qiao, and there were many examples of adventures fighting wits and courage. If you don't understand how adults think about life, at least they won't be fooled anymore.

As Grandpa and the man named "Roll" walked for a while on the path to the right, Minna looked back carefully at those people and found that they were all going the same way she had come. Those people mentioned the "elf's treasure" just now. She remembered that it was what the bad guys who injured her grandfather wanted to steal. They even killed an elf. Are these people their accomplices? Are you going to the Elf Forest now? Thinking of Uncle Qiao, Xiaola, Brother Leif and those people in Phantom Town, she couldn't help but worry.

She pulled the corner of Grandpa's shirt: "Grandpa, those people over there..."

"Let's talk about it later, Ming Na." Xiao Tianjian just listened to that Luo Er's words, "I have something to talk about with Uncle Luo Er."

Ming Na looked back at the few people and saw that their figures had disappeared, she was even more anxious, she tugged on Grandpa's shirt a few times, but he broke free: "Be obedient! I have something to do when we finish talking. Let's talk." Minna had to give up and followed behind them, mumbling.

Xiao Tianjian didn't notice the abnormality of his granddaughter at all, he just focused on Luo Er's ramble, but didn't talk about the main point for a long time: "I know, your life is not easy, but Lila's family is in the end. How's it going? You make it clear."

Roll had no choice but to stop complaining about his family's poor life, and said a little unwillingly: "Her family moved out long ago, and you moved in less than a year after you left, and moved to the town of Heishan in the southwest, listen to It is said that she is married, the couple opened a tavern, and the business is not bad. I only know that her parents died a few years ago, and I don't know how she is now."

Xiao Tianjian was not very surprised by the news of the death of the old couple. Few of the local people lived past the age of fifty. If you count their age, the two old people are considered to have longevity. However, regarding Lila's marriage, although he had expected it, he still had some lumps in his heart. After getting rid of this thought, he forced a smile: "So she has a good life? Why open a tavern instead of a wine shop? Can a wine shop make more money?"

"Aw, what are you talking about?" Rolle looked at him with wide eyes, "How could a country like us drive something like that? Lila's shop sells ordinary wine, but the stew is famous. , is the method you taught back then. As for the wine recipe you gave, the lord said that it was his thing, and Lila's father had already handed it over."

"What?!" Xiao Tianjian was stunned, then furious, "He's talking nonsense! That's obviously my family's ancestral recipe! How could it be his?" The brewing method has a history of one or two hundred years. He modified it according to the actual situation of the local area. In any case, it is definitely not something that the country rich man can come up with. "This is a robbery! I will never let him go!"

Luo Er was taken aback by his words, and said hurriedly: "No, no, the lord did not rob, Lila's father gave the prescription, but she got thirty gold coins as a reward, thirty gold coins, ah, That's a lot of money, even if it's enough to buy that recipe, they can't make that much money by making wine alone. The lord also said that the wine needs to use the snow on the north mountain, so in the A winery was opened nearby, recruiting local people to work, and my son also went there. Please don’t mess around, people in our villages rely on that winery to make money.”

Xiao Tianjian almost choked to death, thirty gold coins! This kind of ice and fire wine is sold in East for ten gold coins per jar, and the price of three jars of wine can buy the recipe. He was also very dissatisfied with Rolle's attitude: "Why do you want to speak for the lord? He stole the recipe. Even if the Lila family can't open a wine shop, the people in your village can help you open it, then Wouldn't that make more money? Why don't you blame him?"

"Look at what you said." Rolle disagreed, "That Fangzi used to belong to Lila's father, we are all the same people, why should we work for him? The lord is different, he But a noble man!"

Xiao Tianjian's face darkened and he stopped talking. Seeing this, Luo Er asked cautiously: "You won't really go to see the lord's bad luck? You must not go, please. These past few years The harvest is not good. If the people in our villages hadn't worked in the winery, they would have starved to death. You should take it for the sake of our help in the past, and don't do anything to the lord. My son and I have saved money for several years, and we have saved more than 30 silver coins. As long as we save 50 coins, we can marry my son. At this time, don't mess around..."

Xiao Tianjian was a little annoyed and didn't want to listen to him any longer: "You said just now that Lila moved to Heishan Town? Mingna, we..." Seeing his granddaughter who was pouting behind him, he I suddenly remembered what the child said just now that she was very hungry, so she changed her mouth: "We are all hungry, Rolle, can you get us something to eat?"

When Luo Er heard this, he became excited: "Of course, of course, come to my house, how about staying for one night? You are a noble person, if the Lila family hadn't kept you here for so long, it wouldn't have been too long. I'll make a fortune. Oops, what nonsense I'm talking about? Come on, please come this way..."

Minna continued to walk behind them, pouting, into a small village, and then turned into a narrow path. That Rolle has been long-winded, when will he and grandpa finish talking?

Rohr's home is a low stone house, dimly lit and cold. With a flattering smile, Rolle built a stone stove in the center of the house, and carefully counted six or seven pieces of black charcoal and put it in, making the room a little warmer. While rubbing his hands, he asked Xiao Tianjian's grandson to sit down, and then went to cook.

While Rolle was cooking, villagers came one after another with news. Most of them were old acquaintances of Xiao Tianjian back then. They greeted him very warmly and invited him to dinner at their home. One of them also said that his house was spacious and he invited Xiao Tianjian to spend the night. As a result, Luo Er was like a cat whose tail was stepped on and drove everyone away, but when facing Xiao Tianjian, he immediately returned to smiling.

Xiao Tianjian is a little depressed. I remember that Luo Er was a very simple and honest young man back then. How did he become like this now? Also, the eyes of those villagers who looked at him just now seemed to be a little different, more greedy. What happened in this village? Suddenly, he remembered the winery opened by the lord, where many simple villagers worked, must have been ruined by the bad atmosphere of those nobles!

Recalling the time when he crossed the snow-capped mountain, because he didn't know the route, he took a lot of wrong paths, and finally collapsed at the foot of the snow-capped mountain. He was rescued by Leila and his daughter. In order to make him get better soon, they took out the best things in the house. In return, he specially taught the Lila family how to braise pork, and also helped the villagers hunt and repair houses.

That pretty, shy girl from the mountain village, Lila, is as pure and lovely as a lamb. If it wasn't for the night when her father learned to cook braised pork, he was drunk because of his pleasure, maybe he would always think of her as a little sister. However, he also knew in his heart that she was from a different world from him, and even if what happened that night, he would not accept a village girl who didn't know anything as his lover or partner, not to mention that at that time he was still There is Fnoya.

As compensation for that night, he left a recipe for making wine. His original intention was to give the Lila family and the other villagers a way to get rich, so that they would not continue to be poor. Unexpectedly, it caused so many things.

Ming Na sat at the wooden table, watching her grandfather's expression keep changing, and she was very dissatisfied. She had pulled his clothes several times, but he didn't respond. He didn't know what he was thinking. She was heartbroken and was about to call him loudly, but Luo Er came over with the meal.

He kept urging them to eat, and kept saying how rare this meal was, even his own family seldom had such a good meal. However, in Minna's view, the soup was just a paste made of powder ground from the roots and stems of some unknown plant. The main food is a fruit with a dark brown hard shell. It is cooked and broken apart. Inside is a fist-sized white pulp. The taste is somewhat like a potato, but the taste is slightly sweet. This kind of thing was quite suitable for Minna, so she ate two.

Xiao Tianjian explained by the side that it is Nuojia's specialty staple noodle, which can grow on plants or rocks on high mountains, requires only a little water, and can achieve high yield even at low temperatures. This is the food that the founding monarch of this country researched to solve the food crisis. To commemorate his achievements, the people took his name Nuojia as the country name.

Perhaps it was because his stomach was full and his mood improved. Xiao Tianjian saw that it was getting dark, so he accepted Luo Er's proposal to stay overnight. The latter went out happily and helped their grandparents and grandchildren get the quilt they were going to cover at night. .

As soon as he left, Ming Na immediately told Grandpa about those people. Xiao Tianjian frowned upon hearing this: "Sure enough, not only a group of people heard about the rumor, but who was it? Damn it!"

"Grandpa, what should we do? Will those people hurt the people in the forest? Shall we stop them?" Minna asked anxiously.

Xiao Tianjian thought for a while, then suddenly smiled: "You said they all carry a lot of luggage? They dress like a local?"

"That's right." Ming Na didn't understand that he was about to laugh, "Did Grandpa say... disguise?"

"What are you wearing, Joe, they are not as cold-resistant as the locals, and they can't survive wearing them like that." Xiao Tianjian looked confident, "Do you think that road is so easy to walk? If it wasn't for me having a storage ring , bring enough dry food, water and stove, if it wasn't for my inner strength to protect myself, and you ate that kind of fish soup in the forest, if we hadn't used Qinggong on the snowy mountains, your weight and light weight, it would not have been so smooth. Even if those people are not afraid of the cold and have enough food, the luggage alone is enough to cause an avalanche.”

Minna thought for a while: "Avalanche, does it mean that the snow will be shaken down? I remember that a few days ago, when I spoke a little louder, a lot of snow fell on the mountain. Grandpa said that they brought so much snow. Will the stuff in the bag also cause an avalanche?"

"It can be heavy footsteps or loud voices." Xiao Tianjian smiled and said, "Also, even if they do pass smoothly, the road before reaching the forest is completely unobstructed, and they will be discovered from far away. Exhausted, where are the elves still rivals? You don't have to worry."

Ming Na was relieved when she heard the words, and ate that strange soup with peace of mind.

In the early morning of the next day, Rolle talked about the rumbling sound from the mountains in the north the night before~IndoMTL.com~ It might be a big avalanche, and people in several villages all night to check if there is any People entered the snow-capped mountains, but no one seemed to suffer, everyone was lucky.

Minna glanced at him after hearing these words, thinking of Grandpa's analysis last night. Xiao Tianjian kept calm, threw down ten gold coins as tolls, and left with his granddaughter amid Rolle's praises.

After they left the village, instead of returning to the road to the south, they headed southwest. Ming Na felt that something was wrong and asked, "Grandpa, aren't we going back to Edun? Why don't we go to the south?" Xiao Tianjian said, "Let's take the long way. In the town of Heishan in the southwest, there is one of grandpa's My friend. When my grandfather left the Elf Forest for the first time, he collapsed at the foot of the snowy mountain, and she was the one who rescued him. It is rare to come here, and I want to drop by to see her.”

Minna pouted, she was already much later than the appointment, Grandpa Marshall must be very anxious.

Xiao Tianjian saw her expression and hurriedly said: "Actually, it's not without benefits to walk this way, it's a town, there will definitely be horses for sale, let's buy a horse and ride it back, it's much better than walking, isn't it? ?"

Ming Na was very much in favor of this proposal. She was really afraid to walk, so she nodded quickly. Xiao Tianjian breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk forward with his granddaughter. When dusk fell again, they finally reached the town of Black Mountain.
