The mine town at night is silent, except for one place, the square in the center of the town. There was a bonfire in the sky at this time, and almost all the people in the mine town and the villages under the mine town came here to participate in the annual beer festival.

"We are gathered here today, and I wish we will be even better next year!" The town elder Billy began a routine speech, which in his view is the most important part of the year.

"Although our children and your husbands may still be fighting on the front line at this time, everyone in our mine town will guard them!" Old Billy deserves to be the mayor of decades. , Speaking in a straightforward manner, and easily inflamed the emotions of the townspeople, at least now everyone in the square has been evoked by him to miss their relatives.

"This year, our mine town has overcome many difficulties. It has been..." Old Billy is still speaking, but the people below don't listen to him much, because the most important part has already been explained. What follows are all about the contributions and achievements made by the old Billy as the mayor this year. Many civilians have limited educational level. For example, the Rock’s family may have learned a few words on the front line. The vast majority of the remaining people simply don’t understand what old Billy is talking about. The increase in minerals and economic changes. Waiting for words, the honest civilians don’t understand them, don’t talk about them, even old Billy may not know what he’s talking about. His rhetoric was given to him by the town administrator, who was a baron. The managers assigned to each town were of a lower rank than the mayor, but they belonged to the baron, and Old Billy did not dare to offend him.

Around the campfire, except for some more honest civilians listening to old Billy's bible, the rest started their own carnival. Drinkers drink alcohol, and bread eaters eat bread. Today’s beer is free, and bread costs money, but it’s very small. It only requires a few copper dellers. This is a once-a-year benefit for most people who can’t eat enough. Shrewd businessmen began to sell their own products. Although the shops in Mine Town were closed and closed, there are always one or two still insisting. And this annual Oktoberfest is the best time for them to make money. .

Lao Locke was holding a glass of beer and bragging with people he met in the town. The object of bragging was nothing more than his son who became the captain of the team, and there were also a bunch of honest ordinary people around him. In their opinion, the squad leader is indeed no longer a small role, it is worthy of these people to indulge in it, and many people even take advantage of this to propose a marriage, even if Little Locke has not returned, at least the marriage can be ordered.

Although Old Locke is honest, he is not stupid. Of course he can't respond casually, and his daughter and wife are nearby. How can he deal with his son's lifelong affairs casually. The merchants don’t pay much attention to Old Locke, the team leader. This level is equal to the captain of the town’s defense squad. As it goes up, it’s at most equal to the village leader, and it’s in charge of the military. The looks are on the same level, and the merchants are very profitable. Whether Old Locke's son can come back alive from the battlefield is still unknown. The merchants have a higher status than ordinary people because they have money, so they don't care about the father of a small captain.

And the officials of the higher status, such as the clerk, tax officer, financial officer, and several captains of the garrison, look down on a small captain in the district even more. Why do they value someone who is lower than themselves Team leader.

Of course, this is only a part of the people's thoughts, and many people ask Old Locke for greetings. For example, an official in charge of Linmu in the town, this official who is in charge of Linmu is an exquisite person, no one can be guilty, and he has friendship with anyone, and his comments are good. Old Locke was flattered and toasted a glass of wine, and the forest officer had a casual conversation, which also made Old Locke drunk earlier. Mine Town said it was big and not too small. It is said that there are only five or six team captains coming out of the town. The family members of these five or six people are at least more noble than more than 90% of the people currently present. It doesn't take much effort, the Forest Officer thought so.

Later, even the mayor’s family sent a relative to Old Locke to toast a glass of wine. There are smart people everywhere, especially these old fritters that have been mixed for so many years.

Faustin is located in the southwest. Unlike Charlot, which is in the east, which is rich in ale, more people drink beer here. The cost of beer is lower than that of ale. Most people drink it. Spread more widely.

The night of the Oktoberfest was deep and beautiful. It was a wonderful night in the small mine town.

In the early morning of the second day, the people lying on the ground in the center of the square were awakened by the cold wind. Although there was beer to warm their stomachs, and although the campfire burned all night, it was late autumn. No matter how healthy people were, they couldn’t support it. live. As soon as the cold wind blew, Old Locke had back pain again, and with his dim eyes open, he walked into the town.

The mother and daughter Tia and Leia stayed with a relative in the town last night, and they couldn't stand the cold wind all night. Old Locke walked on the road and thought of his own field again. The working people were just like that. In addition to three meals a day and a family home, all he thought about was his own one-third of acre.

With the enthusiasm of this distant relative in the town, the three of Old Locke's family walked to the entrance of the town, ready to go home. Mine Town is very small. Basically, every family has some relatives for the three generations. Old Locke is now the only seedling, but Tia has a few sisters and brothers, but they are all very weak. Everyone looks down on this relative who married in the countryside, mother. With Zigui, Locke has become famous in the army. She is also the mother of her. Those who despised her before, now speak to her less casually. Although Tia is very uncomfortable, she feels very uncomfortable. it is good.

Walking to the entrance of the town, Old Locke talked about his own land again, wondering if the guinea pigs who drove away yesterday will come back today to steal his rice potatoes. Tia was holding dozens of copper dele in her arms and kept groping. These were earned by selling eggs last night. She planned to pull two pieces of cloth for her daughter during the New Year to make a new dress. The daughter has taken care of their old couple over the years and has suffered. She has long regarded Lia as her own daughter.

Lea was supporting her parents. Old Locke's face was still red, and she knew that she drank too much last night. Although Tia was holding a headscarf and wearing a thick linen, he was still frozen Shaking, the old couple are old after all, Leah has to worry a lot.

The three of them walked to the entrance of the town, and a long black horse team came in the distance. The bell on the horse’s neck was ringing with Ding Ling’s palm. Anyone familiar with the sound would know that this is the baron’s business. The team is back!

Looking at it, Old Locke and his party, yes, I don't need to go back for now.
