Chapter 43 - Finally
In front of the campfire in the camp, Benny gulped the roasted yam and bread. He didn’t want to spit out the food even if he was choked. Harry hurriedly poured water on him, seeing him look like a starving ghost reborn. In Nord’s mind Was wondering if he would be choked to death, and did not let him eat too much at once.
Looking at Benny, who was still thinking about it, Nord asked him if he knew the truth in the far cottage, Benny gave Harry a hesitant look.
“It’s okay, Benny, Lord Nord is a good man, he is a kind nobleman outside, you can say it with confidence.”
Harry looked at the hesitant look on Benny’s face and couldn’t help reminding him, and Harry knew that Lord Nord could save the impoverished remote cottage. If he knew the way to the cottage, he would have taken Lord Nord to the remote cottage long ago. Now, seeing Benny’s look, Harry, who has been so worry-free for so many days, is full of worries about his wife and children in the remote cottage. the way.
“You really… won’t you take all of us and make slaves?”
Benny looked at Nord cautiously, and a smile appeared on Nord’s face, indicating that Benny can rest assured that slavery was abolished as early as when the Arisin Empire unified the mainland. It has now been eight hundred years in the forest. Such news still circulated, and Nord didn’t know whether it was pitiful or ridiculous.
“No, I will bring news of food for your cottage so that you no longer endure hunger.”
“Really? You can stop us from starving? If what you say is true, I will take you there.”
Benny’s small eyes are shining with light, and the light is full of expectation and hope. Hearing the word food is like cracking the earth and hearing the sound of thunder.
Before Nord could answer him, Harry hurriedly testified.
“Really, Lord Nord did not lie to you, Lord Nord found a food called yam, which exists in large quantities in the forest, which can completely satisfy the survival of the cottage, and Uncle Moll can also testify. Do you still know him before? Uncle Moer, who was missing in the cottage, is living well outside.”
Benny glanced at Old Moore and found that he was a bit familiar. It should be someone from the former cottage. Since Benny was not familiar with Old Moore at the time, he didn’t recognize him at first. Benny dispelled his concerns and slowly The opening revealed the information to everyone.
“This way… the far cottage is only one day away, and tomorrow… you will be able to reach it, and this mountain is Harry… you are also familiar with it. This is the South… South Boundary Mountain, the forbidden area in the cottage, the rules of the cottage… Let us go hunting across Nanjie Mountain, so you…you are not familiar with this place.”
Harry and Old Moore glanced at each other, and they suddenly realized.
“It turned out to be Nanjie Mountain. No wonder I didn’t think of it. The cottage didn’t let you mention this mountain. No wonder I didn’t know, then why did you come here.”
Benny blushed, as if someone had discovered his secret, and he stammered to explain to Harry.
“I…I didn’t come here on purpose, I…I lost my way before…I was here that time, and now…there is not much food in the cottage, I…I came here to try my luck, no…I didn’t expect to meet you. “
“Then why are you so afraid of us?”
Nord was a little curious, if Benny and Lehman had returned to the village at that time, it might not be so difficult to find a remote cottage now.
Benny looked at Nord and found that he was not as scary as he thought, and Harry and Old Moore were alive and well, so Benny was relieved.
“I… my grandfather told me when I was a child… I said, outside… the people outside are bad guys, they will arrest us all as slaves, no… don’t let us eat.”
“Why haven’t I heard people in the cottage say something like this? I always wanted to run out of the mountains. Why haven’t you seen them say this before? Your grandfather didn’t lie to you, right?”
Harry was a little puzzled. He had never heard such news in the cottage. He interrupted Benny’s speech and questioned him.
“I… my grandfather won’t lie to me, he… he is the wisest person in the cottage, just… that time I secretly ran with you to find the way outside… after returning, he… he personally followed I said.”
Hearing Harry’s questioning, Benny was a little angry, not knowing where his courage came from, and stared at Harry, as if Harry said something more, he would fight Harry.
Seeing Benny like this, Harry felt a little guilty. Benny’s grandfather was indeed the wisest person in the cottage. Normally, the villagers in the cottage would ask Benny’s grandfather for advice if they didn’t understand anything. Afraid of Benny’s grandfather, although Benny’s grandfather is usually kind and kind, once angry, he looks very scary, and the mountain people in the cottage are very in awe of him.
Hearing Benny’s speech, Nord seemed to feel that Benny’s grandfather was a bit repulsive to outsiders, but Yuanshanzhai didn’t get rid of the outside world. Where did this prejudice come from? Nord can’t figure it out. Think about it again, and everything will be clear when we arrive at Yuanshanzhai tomorrow.
Nord greeted everyone, and took Cindy to rest. He also talked to Lehman and others, to cultivate enough energy, and to find Yuanshanzhai tomorrow, UU reading www.uukanshu.com mission is over.
Benny looked at the little cat in Nord’s arms with some curiosity in his heart. Cindy noticed Benny’s sight, turned his head and looked over, and waved his paw at Benny as if to say hello to Benny.
But Benny was so scared that his face turned pale, and the impression of Nord in his heart was a little more in awe. Even the black lynx can tame such a terrifying beast, Lord Nord is really amazing!
In the early morning of the next day, Nord and others hurriedly followed Benny on the road to the far cottage. After searching in the forest for so long, they finally found it this time. Everyone didn’t want to delay it. If it wasn’t dark yesterday, It’s not convenient, and it’s inconvenient to drive at night. Everyone is afraid that they will have gone to the Yuanshanzhai a long time ago, but it is not too late. After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the long-awaited Yuanshanzhai.
The far cottage is built on the halfway of a mountain, located in the north of the mountain. No trace of the cottage can be seen from the direction of Nord and others. If it weren’t for Benny and others to introduce to Nord, I am afraid that Nord has gone far. No trace of the remote cottage can be found under the eyelids of the cottage.
The buildings in Yuanshanzhai are all wooden structures, and they are all built on the woods. The concealment is very high. From a distance, there are not many traces of human habitation.
However, after approaching, I found that Yuanshanzhai relied on big trees to build a fence. The fence was about five or six meters high. Some plants similar to creepers were planted on it. It was like a layer of camouflage, hidden in the dense. In the mountains and forests.
As everyone approached, Old Moore’s eyes burst into tears, with excitement, nostalgia, and a bit of trepidation on his face, for fear that everything in front of him is his own dream, and it will be broken at the touch of it, and everyone’s footsteps are getting more and more. Fast, but Old Moore slowed down, with mixed flavors in his heart, and he didn’t know how to express it. If Nord described it, it would be more timid to be close to the hometown.
