Chapter 276 275. Single mother
The courier left the village of Wall on horseback. Suldak sat under a chestnut tree and carefully read the letter Karl sent him.
Obviously he was involved in a trouble. He thought it was just a group of ordinary robbers who ransacked the noble manor on the outskirts of Hailansa for money, and happened to meet him on the mountain road. They deserved their bad luck. These robbers hijacked a noble lady, but they also wanted to rob a truck transporting iron. In order to protect those properties and uphold justice, he rushed forward and killed all the robbers.
Also to give a little warning to the rest of the robbers, Suldak also hung the corpse of the robber on the wooden cross on the top of the mountain, so that everyone who passed by the mountain pass would stop and take a look, so that they must understand that what they did was wrong It will not end well.
But what Suldak never expected was that behind this group of bandits was a well-established organization. They controlled some bandit groups, and the bandit group that was wiped out at the mountain pass should be one of these bandits. . The main purpose of these robbers looting the noble manor did not seem to be to steal money, but to find someone. The looting of the noble manor was only done by them.
Unexpectedly, Selena was the target of this matter in the end. Now not only the robbers are looking for her, but also the Hailansa Guard Battalion represented by Karl seems to be looking for her, maybe they want to find the mysterious woman from her. Organizational cues.
Suldak touched his forehead in some distress. A chestnut covered with hard thorns fell from the tree, waking him up from his contemplation. The river in the ravine passed through the village, in the middle of the village There was a pontoon bridge, which was connected by four suspension cables, and he walked across the rickety suspension bridge towards Selina's stone house.
A woman who was squatting by the stream to wash clothes suddenly nudged Natasha beside her with her elbow, then wiped the water from her hands, pointed at Surdak who was passing by the suspension bridge, and said to Natasha. Tasha said: "Natasha, look quickly, it's Knight Suldak, and the road he's walking doesn't seem to lead to your house."
"Oh!" Natasha straightened her waist, glanced at the empty suspension bridge, and agreed.
"Hey, what's your reaction?" The village woman's eyes widened, and she was very dissatisfied with Natasha's lack of complaints. She leaned close to Natasha's ear and whispered: "I heard The ominous woman over there in the village has been pestering him recently, I think you should find an opportunity to persuade him not to get too close to that ominous woman, she will destroy Knight Suldak."
"...Oh!" Natasha replied honestly.
The village woman raised her eyebrows, put the clothes in her hand back into the basket, and said to Natasha with a serious face, "Hey, Natasha, you can't do this, you should be more assertive."
Then she said to Rita on the other side of Natasha: "Rita, Rita, I just saw your brother..."
The words of the village woman made Rita roll her eyes angrily, at this moment she really wanted to shut the mouth of the village woman...
…
The yard was kept very clean. Some lentils climbed on the fence at the door, wide beans hung on it, and these small purple flowers bloomed on the top of the vines. The vitality of this lentil is very tenacious, even if a seed falls into a crack in the wall, it can grow vigorously.
Suldak walked to the door of the stone house and saw Selena and Signa sitting in the yard peeling hard chestnut shells. There was already a huge pile of thorny hard shells in front of them. Those semicircular chestnut shells Into a linen pocket.
Signa's long chestnut hair was braided into some thin braids, she looked very happy, and she was humming a song in her mouth.
Suldak stood at the gate of the courtyard.
Selena raised her head as if aware of it, just in time to see his focused eyes, a smile appeared on Selena's face, her lips were round and sexy, and her beautiful face was like a blooming smile when she smiled. roses.
She was squatting in the yard, under the pressure of her knees, her chest was extremely full and bulging.
Those big talking eyes seemed to be silently saying: 'I haven't wanted to come here for so many days, why do I want to come and see today? '
Suldak felt someone tugging at his trouser legs, and when he looked down, he found that it was Signa standing beside him, stretching out his small hand to grab the linen bloomers, standing on tiptoe, and handing over two chestnuts in his hand, Su Erdak Erdak quickly caught it.
"Eat it, it's very sweet!" Signa's voice was far sweeter than the chestnut in Suldak's hand.
Suldak squatted down and gently pinched Signa's little face.
Signa was suddenly a little unhappy, and stared at Suldak with rounded eyes, as if she had been underestimated.
Selena stood behind Signa holding a water glass, looking at Suldak tenderly.
Suldak stretched out his hand to her, palm up, thinking in his heart that even if it was for Signa, he should give her a chance to explain, at least not to easily deny a young mother because of what happened around her.
Selina hesitated, her face flushed slightly, but she still put her hand into Suldak's.
It was a very soft hand, but the skin was slightly rough, the palm lines were finely shattered, and many calluses were worn out, but the hands looked slender, and each finger seemed so dexterous. Suldak held it gently. That hand, feel the warmth from that hand.
Suldak said sincerely: "I want to know about your past..."
The hand trembled slightly, and Selena showed a trace of panic on her face, but she wanted to pull her hand back, but was held tightly by Suldak, his eyes were frank, and his hand was not. open.
Selena had no choice but to touch Signa's head with the other hand, and said to her daughter: "Signa, can you go out and play by yourself for a while?"
Signa thought about it seriously, looked at Suldak hesitantly, then nodded heavily, blinked her big innocent eyes and said: "Yes, but not for too long, I will stay at the door forever."
Selena kissed her daughter's fair forehead with her lips, and Signa hopped to the gate of the courtyard with a few chestnuts in her hands. The small figure could be clearly seen through the gap in the door panel.
Selena looked down at herself, showed an ambiguous smile, and whispered to Suldak with winking eyes, "What do you want to know about me?"
"..."
She came close, almost standing face to face with Suldak, and Suldak could feel her warm breath.
Surdak can somewhat understand how difficult it is for a single mother to live in this small village, and her reputation in the village is not difficult to guess. It is usually those who like to say that people in the village are jealous. The women said it, and the other half probably came from the mouths of the idlers in the village who didn't take advantage of her.
"Am I an ominous person?"
"A wicked curse?"
"Everyone around me will die because of it?"
Selena asked three questions in a row that did not need to be answered, and the poignant expression on her face made people feel distressed. She showed her weak side in front of Suldak, and she also wanted to know how Suldak What exactly does K think of her...
