The majestic mountains, the winding valleys, and the trails that humans and animals have stepped on for thousands of years. ziyouge om
Walking beside Wu Qingchen, Dean looked solemn.
He carried a wooden stick in his left hand and a long pointed spear in his right hand. — This is the weapon that Master Playa temporarily took out from the church's most important warehouse directly connected to the bedroom after seeing Master Los's preparations, and handed it over to everyone.
here again
Mountains, dense forests, wolves, bears, skeletons, flash floods, wildfires, rogues
The last journey was nearly a month ago, and the difficulties and obstacles in it have always been entrenched in Dean's heart, which made Dean wake up in the middle of the night several times.
Dean doesn't regret his decision, though.
Before dawn, Lord Rose came to the lord's barn and recruited his, Elmo, and several other serfs who belonged to the barn to go to the baron's castle.
Without any hesitation, Dean was the first to stand up.
Such a strong determination is obviously not a decision that can be facilitated by the simple teaching of the father "do whatever you want".
It has been a month since I came to Akeli Village.
Before coming to Akeli Village, Dean was prepared to sleep in the cowshed, gnaw grass roots, be beaten, and endure a few years; however, Dean now lives in the lord's stable, a wooden house specially prepared for cowherds ;The daily food has never been skipped, it is more abundant than when staying at home;
Not to mention half a craftsman like myself or an ordinary villager, so far, Dean has never even seen or heard of Master Ross beating or insulting any serf.
At the same time, Dean's initial and most important goal when he came to Akeli Village was to spend a year or two working on cattle and horses, and then spend two or three years to really learn the art of healing cattle. Over time, Master Ross has taught a lot of tricks.
So thoughtful, so gracious, so kind, so generous
If Master Ross is still a cowherd in the village of Akeli, Dean can still tell the whole story of the cowherd tricks passed down from generation to generation in his family, and express his heart; but Master Ross has quickly become a high priest, and Dean really I don't know any other way to repay.
Now, here's your chance!
Silently following Wu Qingchen, Dean told himself again:
It was hard to get the job of accompanying Master Ross to go out. Although I don't know much about it, I must take care of the troublesome places.
Dean clenched his fists hard.
"Coming"
Go through three small bends in a row.
Looking around and comparing it with the terrain in his memory, Dean gently pushed his companion - Richard's second son - Runcorn: "The front is the place I told you about."
"OK."
Runcorn nodded vigorously.
A few hours earlier, Ross had knocked on the door to inform his entourage of his needs, and Richard had immediately pulled Runcorn out of the bed.
"Be sure to protect Ross!"
"Be sure to take care of Ross!"
"Must listen to Rose!"
In this case, Richard, Melissa, Pia, and Yolanda recited it countless times in just one hour of preparation.
Runcorn responded to the instructions of his father, mother, brother, and sister again and again, without any sense of impatience.
Heal cattle, move beehives, bury barrels
In just two months, these things that Ross did brought great changes to the village of Akeli, and also to the life of the Runcorn family.
My sister's body is getting rounder day by day.
There are more and more joyful smiles on the mother's face.
Hard-working father, no longer coughing endlessly in the middle of the night.
Its own wooden bowl, scooped full of delicious gooey at every meal.
His own future has touched the edge of the craftsman's family.
All of this stems from the gift of Ross.
To protect Ross is to protect one's family and one's future.
On this point, Runcorn has a deep awareness.
Therefore, not far from the village of Akeli, the cowherd helper from other places came to his side, talking about some troublesome roads, and when he planned to take care of Master Ross together, although he knew that the stranger was going to show himself and Master Ross at the same time. Well, Runcorn still didn't hesitate at all, and immediately agreed.
"Wait a moment"
At this time, the crowd turned another corner, and the messenger who was walking in the front stopped: "Slow down first, there is a bit of trouble ahead."
Ahead, is a long and steep downward slope.
"Master Ross"
Pamela turned around and said, "It's very difficult to walk here, so go down first, if the cattle and horses step on a few more feet, it will be easier to fall."
"Um"
Wu Qingchen had already stood on the edge of the slope, looked ahead carefully, Wu Qingchen frowned slightly: "It's really steep."
quite steep
Dean remembered very clearly that the last time he passed by here, he fell down four times, and the scars on his palms and knees have not fully recovered yet.
Dean gave Runcorn a wink.
"Master Ross"
Runcorn immediately took two steps forward: "Let's go ahead."
"You go ahead?"
"Yeah." Runcorn nodded: "Let's go down first, with us stopping in front, you will definitely not fall."
While speaking, Runcorn bit his lip hard. According to Dean's description, the long slope in front of him was not only steep, but also very slippery. Not to mention a few falls, even rolling all the way down would not be uncommon.
It's just a few falls, as long as Ross is fine, what is a small injury
Runcorn thought so.
"Wrestling? Don't worry, no one can wrestle"
With that said, Wu Qingchen walked to the second cattle, and pulled out a long rope from the basket on its body.
After tying one end of the rope to the nearby tree, Wu Qingchen handed the other end to Runcorn: "Hold it firmly, it shouldn't be difficult to walk slowly."
very easy to walk
Holding the rope, Runcorn briskly walked down the slope, completely unaware of the slippery conditions Dean described.
"Dean"
The slope fell far behind, and while turning another dense forest, Runcorn approached the cowherd helper.
"Don't ask me! Who knows it can be like this"
Before Runcorn could speak, Dean scratched his head and said, "Anyway, I suffered a lot when I came here."
"All right"
Runcorn thought for a while, then nodded slowly.
After the long slope, the rest of the long journey is still relatively easy.
About two hours later, after crossing several hills in a row, a wide river appeared in front of everyone.
"Get ready." Dean leaned closer to Runcorn again: "The trouble is coming soon."
Up the river, after twenty minutes, the messenger stopped again.
"Master Los" pointed to the stream in front of him, and Pamela turned her head: "The shallowest place is here, but at this moment, the water in the middle is still relatively deep, please be careful where I go."
"Um."
Wu Qingchen nodded.
Stripping off her clothes, Pamela stepped into the water. He walked slowly towards the opposite side, and the river gradually submerged his insteps, calves, and thighs. When he reached the middle position, the water surface had already submerged to his chest.
Obviously, with Wu Qingchen/Loth's current height and the middle position, Wu Qingchen has to stand on tiptoe and jump hard to barely expose his neck.
This is also the shallowest place in the whole river.
Everyone is an old farmer who is familiar with the habits of livestock. No one would be so whimsical that Wu Qingchen would cross the river on a cow or a war horse. Although many land-born livestock have the instinct to swim, but in such a dangerous depth of water, once the livestock The consequences of being frightened or strayed from the path are unimaginable.
Pamela demonstrated back and forth twice, and Grace, Runcorn, Dean, Antoine, and Abbeville gathered in front of Wu Qingchen.
"Loss, I'll carry you on my back."
"Los, we'll help you."
"Los, you go in the middle."
"We can't go with so many people." The messenger Pamela shook his head. He looked around, and first ordered Dean, who was from a wealthy family, well-nourished and taller: "You carry it" and then nodded to Dean's side Runcorn: "Come here too, follow me, and hold Master Ross."
