In the dark, the Locke family and Hans family returned to Maple Leaf Village together.
Originally, some relatives in the town chose to stay with Locke and the others for the night, but because there were too many people, Locke declined.
In addition to the two families, Kane also came back with him.
More than a dozen people walked to the Maple Leaf Village at night. They were not bored. They talked and laughed along the way, and Locke and the family could not finish talking.
Kane seemed to have something on his mind, and he didn't speak much, which surprised Locke and Hans, who knew his character.
When I returned to Maple Leaf Village, it was already late at night, with only a full moon and dots of stars dotted in the night sky.
The two families bid farewell to each other and returned to their homes.
Hans has many families, large houses and many rooms. Kane was called to squeeze in a room with Hans to sleep.
The Rock’s family is very small, with only two bedrooms in the house.
Old Locke and Tia have been very excited since they saw their son, and they took Locke's hand to ask questions.
Six years ago, Little Locke was only a half-year-old. After six years, Locke has grown a head taller than Old Locke.
In the end, Leah stood up and forced the two elders back to the bedroom to rest. The two elders were both very old.
Locke looked at this sister who hadn't spoken much today. Locke wanted to say some greetings, but couldn't say it anyway, and didn't know where to start.
Old Locke and Tia were pushed back to the bedroom by their daughter, and shouted, "You guys should get some rest soon!" Soon there was no sound.
After a day of hard work, they are already tired.
Only Locke and Leah are left in the room.
"The silk scarf is beautiful." Locke pointed to the silk scarf tied to Leah's hair. This was the first thing he said to his sister after he came back.
"Um." Leah lowered her head.
"Let's rest, too." Locke suggested that the atmosphere was embarrassing and it was late again.
"Good."
When Locke returned to his bedroom, he realized how stupid the suggestion he had just made was.
His bedroom is also Leah’s. Locke was only 14 years old when he joined the army. He and Leah have always slept in the same bedroom.
Even when he was a child, because of the small size of the bed, he wanted to make a bed with his sister and squeezed into his sister's arms to sleep.
It was when he was a child. He is now 19 years old. It is not appropriate to sleep in a room with his sister at this time, but Locke couldn't find a place to rest this night.
"Go to your bed and sleep." Leah pointed to Locke's cot and said indifferently, as if Locke was still the same as before, just her little brother.
Leah had said so, Locke was no longer coy, took off his armor, and went to sleep in his clothes.
Leah took off the silk scarf that tied her hair, and her long hair fell down like a waterfall, and she drew her long hair to her chest. Leah also lay on her bed.
The only thing between the two at this time is a small bedside table.
Locke has been riding a horse for several days, and has barely had a good night's sleep. It stands to reason that he was exhausted a long time ago, but at this moment, he was lying on his bed, smelling the fragrance of deja vu, and couldn't sleep.
It was not until the sun rose above the distant mountains that Locke fell asleep in a daze.
When he woke up again, it was noon the next day, and suddenly opened his eyes, Locke touched the scabbard with his left hand but didn't touch anything, only to remember that he had gone home and the war was over.
As if thinking of something, Locke turned his head and glanced at the next bed, no one.
Stretching, Locke shook his stiff muscles, and the bones of "Pyrro, Pyrro" made a crisp sound.
The armor and sword did not move, they were still in the room, and Locke walked out of the room in a military uniform.
In the yard, mother Tia is already feeding the chickens, while sister Leia is chopping wood, and a pot of soup is boiling in the stove on one side.
"I'll come!" Locke walked to her sister Leah, and involuntarily grabbed the axe in Leah's hand.
Leah is now wearing the old coarse linen, with a towel wrapped around her head. Although it is a lot worse than yesterday's beautiful appearance, Locke prefers the way her sister is now.
Telling sister to stay away, Locke shook his arm and started chopping wood.
As a soldier, Locke shouldn't be too easy to chop firewood, not to mention that he is still a low-level servant-level powerhouse, and he chopped a man-high firewood neatly in a short while.
Enough for a whole family for a week.
While chopping wood, he asked, "Where is father?"
Up until now, Locke hasn't seen Old Locke.
"I went to the field to pick up potatoes and rice potatoes. Today I have rice potato stew chicken and mashed potatoes." Mother Tia smiled with squinted eyes.
There are not many good foods at home. My son finally came back after so many years. The old couple had already discussed what to do.
Locke knew that the stewed chicken was the old hens in the yard without guessing, and he didn't care.
According to Locke’s current property, half of it will be enough for the family to have a good food and clothing for the rest of their lives. There is no need to save on food and drink.
He has made up his mind to buy a house in the town ruled by the Baron’s Castle after a while, and when his reward comes down, he will buy a manor to support his parents.
He hasn't forgotten the knighthood promised by Prince Kensell.
Don't rush to tell your parents in advance, and give them a surprise at that time, Locke thought.
Leah was not idle when Locke was chopping wood. She went to the house and took a lot of vegetable leaf condiments to make the burning pot of soup more fragrant.
Not long after Old Locke came back, the family had already gathered around a table to have lunch. This is considered to be the first time Locke had dinner with his family in the past five years.
Hans and Kane next door were also attracted by the fragrant chicken, and they filled a stool with a thick skin and sat down.
These two have just woke up. Sleeping at home is more comfortable than when they were soldiers outside. The soldiers who were not on duty still slept until three shots of the sun.
For seven days, Locke stayed at home with his family.
Why don't you follow Old Locke to work in your own field on the back mountain, or help your mother and sister with some housework at home.
"Stop these old clothes, let's get new ones." Locke said, pointing to the old clothes that her sister Leah had sewn.
"The clothes are fine, why don't they." Mother Tia was the first to stand up against it.
"We don't need money." Locke said silently. He just learned that his parents saved most of the money he sent back over the years.
"You don't spend money to ask your daughter-in-law? You don't spend money to build a new house?" Although mother Tia had always been a good temper, when she broke out, she was not much different from the neighbor Aunt Mary.
Locke wanted to tell her mother that out of the three women your son has been begging for, two are incredibly rich, and one can make money. There is no need for our family to spend any money.
Indeed, Angelina doesn’t need to be mentioned. You are the princess of Faustine. If Locke really gets married, do you need any gift money? Just Angelina’s dowry can probably buy several mine towns. .
Grace too, Locke hasn’t forgotten the space equipment in her and Christine’s hands. When they left from the treasury of the Marquis of Philip, how many precious items were installed in it. Dele could drown a person alive. .
There is also that piece of heavy armor that Locke wears very hard, and it is a rare piece of equipment. There are only two pieces in the entire Charlo, and its value can be guessed. Only high-level attendants can break the armor. .
Of course, there is Xia Qian in the end. Locke only left her with a few hundred Yindler. She earned more than ten times in a blink of an eye. Don't be too business savvy.
These words Locke can't directly tell her family, Angelina's identity can't be disclosed casually, and Grace, the four daughters of Xia, and the facts of Charlois can't be said.
Locke can only helplessly accept the small peasant thought of his mother Tia.
These days, Locke found something wrong with Kane. The way this guy looked at his sister was exactly the same as he looked at Xia Qian.
Somehow, Locke felt a little uncomfortable. Although everyone was good brothers, he felt that his things were being peeped by others. Locke hated this feeling.
Fortunately, Leah's attitude towards Kane has always been lukewarm, which made Locke feel much better.
However, Kane's confidence suffered a serious blow. This guy was sluggish for several days because of Leah's coldness.
Actually, it was not that Leah coldly treated him, but Leah was like her suitors. After only two days of knowing him, Leah realized what her brother, a comrade-in-arms, meant to her.
It's a pity that Leah didn't catch a cold with him. If Kane was Locke's comrade-in-arms, Leah would have treated him like the other men in the town.
These days at home can be said to be Locke's most leisure time.
Get up and fight every morning, chat with your parents and sister, and go to the Houshan forest with Kane and Hans soldiers to catch some game, don’t be too comfortable.
Yesterday Locke thought for a while, and still took out part of his savings, not much, just like ten Kindlers, so as not to scare his relatives.
But the first time that Old Locke and Tia saw them, they saw Kindler as a copper dele.
"Why is this Dele head wearing a crown?" Old Locke frowned and stared carefully to see that he was afraid of encountering fake money.
When Locke told it was Kindler, the old couple grabbed Locke and asked if it was stolen. Locke couldn't laugh or cry. He is a squadron captain of a cavalry squadron.
Don’t blame Old Locke and Tia for making a fuss. Ten Kindlers are a thousand silver Delers. Locke has been sending military pay to his home all these years. The money saved by both of them is only 100. In the appearance of Mei Yin Dele, the money is enough to make a decent gift to marry a decent daughter-in-law.
The old couple just sighed that his son was doing well and didn’t mention saving him money to ask for a wife. The old couple of girls in the village have already looked down upon him. Now, someone who is as promising as Locke in his family is not allowed to go to town or even Baron Town to find a better one.
These old couples don't want money, because they both live so many years old, why do they need money, but Rockefeller fortress gave their parents, saying it was filial piety.
The once naughty and skinny son also knows to do his filial piety. Old Locke is okay, and Tia can't stop wiping tears.
On this day, Locke, Hans and others went to the back mountain to eat game again. It is not that the domestic chickens are not fragrant, but that the parents have raised poultry for several years, and they have some feelings, and there are not enough chickens. A big stomach king, the deer, hares, and guinea pigs on the back mountain are more chewy.
In addition to the three of Locke, there were several soldiers accompanying him, all from Maple Leaf Village. I hope to take this opportunity to make friendship with the two squadron leaders.
Until the evening, a group of people came down from the mountain talking and laughing, and everyone was covered with trophies.
