Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 9 Family
At night at Bastion Farm, the light from the firepit and candles in the longhouse gives the entire house a warm tone.

Around the fire pit, three tables where things can be placed are fixed.

At this time, the family of three was sitting around the table, and the younger sister was looking at the palm leaf bag placed on the table by the woman.

"I brought this back from inside, you can eat and see."

Itiya opened the palm leaf bag with graceful movements, revealing extremely rich foods such as butter boar's trotters, nut bread, elk barbecue, etc. The most eye-catching thing was the small piece of bear's paw in the middle.

These are rare foods that cannot be eaten at banquets outside the chief's longhouse.

The firelight from the fire pit shone on the woman's delicate face, making her cheeks feel slightly hot.It was very embarrassing for her to pack the food and take it home in front of so many tribesmen.

However, when I thought that the two little ones at home could not eat these, I carefully packed some and brought them back.

"I cut them all before anyone else has eaten them. You can eat them with confidence." Yitiya added.

"Then let's eat together." Reilly said.

The younger sister raised the knife in her hand and nodded quickly.

Itiya showed a smile: "You can just eat. I've eaten a lot over there. I'm not hungry now..."

goooo...

A strange sound suddenly reached the ears of the three of them.

what sound? ?

The younger sister touched her belly, which was swollen but did not scream. Her big eyes turned from brother Reilly to her sister-in-law.

"I wonder which bird is chirping?" Itiya said calmly, but her heart was rising and falling like ocean waves, and she secretly blamed her stomach for not living up to expectations.After packing so much food, how could she have the nerve to eat more in the chief's longhouse before?

Riley nodded: "Well, it's late at night after all."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of "bird chirping" came to the ears of the three of them again.

Guluulu...gluulu...

"..."

The area around the fire pit was quiet for a while, but the firelight made the woman's face become more and more rosy.

"This bird can sing so well." Rayleigh said to his sister with a normal expression on his face, "Merlie, let's start eating."

The younger sister looked at her elder brother with her big eyes twinkling, and then at the bear paw in the middle.She likes to start eating with delicious food, and she has never eaten bear paws before.

"Here." Riley took out a pair of chopsticks and put the bear's paws on the plate in front of his sister.

The younger sister excitedly took the knife in her hand and cut the bear paws on the plate into three pieces in a moment.

Then he gave the middle piece to his brother.
The slightly larger piece was put on the plate my sister-in-law usually used and passed over.

I chose the smallest piece, grabbed it with my hands and smashed it, and started eating it. Soon my cheeks were bulging.

"Sister-in-law, my sister and I can't finish this much food." Reilly also cut out three pieces of pig's trotters, said casually, and distributed them to the plates of the three of them.

How could a smart woman not understand the thoughts of these brothers and sisters?

"Yeah." Itia took a small bite of the pig's trotters and then a small bite of the bear's paw. The delicate meat fermented in her taste buds, and the smoke from the fire gradually blurred her eyes.

Since her mother passed away when she was young, she has not felt such a warm feeling for many years.

This is the taste of home!

……

"When the money from this robbery is paid out, how about buying a cow first so that the family can have milk to drink."

"it is good."

"Buy a few more sheep. The wool can be used to weave clothes... Is there anything else you want to add?"

"You are the parent, you can decide."

The three of them were eating food and chatting about home affairs.

Since her younger sister couldn't speak, it was actually just Itia and Rayleigh who were chatting. The little girl would occasionally use her eyes or nod to indicate.

Watching the two thin wooden bars skillfully pick up the food again, she couldn't help but ask her doubts: "Why do you use two wooden bars to hold the food?"

Such a strange way of dining is unheard of in the entire Northern Territory.I have also tried it privately and found that wooden bars are not easy to use at all, far inferior to a knife or grabbing by hand.

This question actually stopped Rayleigh.

This is a habit brought from the previous life. Do you still eat it with your hands like the savages?
Rayleigh thought for a while and made up a reason: "Practice sword, which can hone my feeling of using the sword and the flexibility of my fingers."

"So that's it!" A light of relief flashed in the woman's eyes. She was so diligent that she even thought about sword practice during the meal. Such a young man was unprecedented in the history of the tribe. He really didn't have to worry about himself as a parent at all.

Bang... bang bang...

At this moment, there were suddenly several knocks on the door.

"Who is it?" Yitiya asked outside.

What she responded to was a more violent knock on the door.

bang bang bang...

"You go and hide in the house."

Itiya lowered her voice and spoke to her brother and sister, then took out the hot iron tongs that were burned in the fire pit and walked towards the door cautiously.

She was not stupid. It would most likely not be a good thing to knock on a widow's door so late.Using iron pliers, he carefully pulled out the door bolt. The door was pushed open with a creak, and the smell of alcohol hit his nose.

In his sight, a slightly drunk man was leaning against the door wall, glancing over with greedy eyes.

Yitiya frowned slightly: "It's so late, is there something wrong?"

The peripheral vision glanced at the opponent's body shape and the calluses on his palms at the same time. He did not look like he was skilled in fighting.

"I'm a little hungry and a little thirsty. Can you give me some help?" Huo Bo's eyes were burning. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that the woman in front of him was really beautiful.

"Sorry, our family is not rich and we don't have any extra food for you." Itiya refused with a cold expression.

After her mother passed away when she was young, she spent every day in arduous shield girl training.Before marrying here, she had passed the baptism of raiders and had the blood of three dead people in her hands. This was her confidence.

The man in front of him was still drunk, and he couldn't possibly be his opponent. "Just give me a glass of ale?" Hobo said with a grin, and then took one foot forward.

"Please leave." Itia blocked the door.

"I'm just going to go in and rest for a while..." Huobo took another step.

"No!" The iron pliers in his hands were tightened.

"No, hehe... I entered this house today. Do you think you can stop me? I have touched more women than you have ever seen..." Huo Bo spouted nonsense and held out one hand. At the same time, he touched the face of the beautiful woman in front of him.

But what he touched was not a soft face, but hot iron pliers. The four fingers he held were instantly burned to death by the iron.

A sharp scream followed.

……

inside the house.

Hearing the scream, my sister instantly perked up her ears and curved her mouth upwards.

This scream is really nice!

The little hand patted the toy crow's head, and with a squeak, one of the crow's wings was broken by the little hand, tearing out countless wheat stalks.

The happy sister moved faster and faster, and her little hands quickly pulled out an afterimage.In a moment, two of Screech Crow's feet and another wing were torn off by her, and the wheat stems were torn all over the ground.

Then he raised his head and looked at his brother, showing a pleasant smile.

What a cruel sister!

Lei Li had a 'tic' sign on his forehead. He had no experience in educating children well.

Pulling out the wire, taking off the last two weight-bearing iron rings on his feet, he stood up, took the family sword, and walked towards the side door outside.

The younger sister carried the miserable screeching crow and followed quickly with her little feet.

……

At the door of the longhouse, Hobo looked at his shocking finger, his eyes burning with raging anger.

"Bitch, I'm going to kill you..."

The other right hand took out the ax from the waist and slashed directly at the woman's arm.

"You can never do this in your life!"

Relying on extremely precise movements, Itiya used iron pincers to block the oncoming attacks one after another.Until the man in front of him began to stagger due to his lameness, the iron pliers suddenly pushed the ax away, and instantly kicked the drunkard in the heart.

Hobo's whole body fell against the door wall and fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to stand up, the wrist holding the weapon was attacked by an iron pincer, and the ax fell to the ground.

"my hand……"

Accompanied by a scream with bared teeth, hot iron pliers were pressed against his throat.

"Don't kill, don't kill me..." Huo Bo felt the heat in his throat and quickly began to beg for mercy.

"Get out!" Idiya spat out one word.

"I'm getting out, I'm getting out right away..." Huobo ignored the axe, dragged his injured wrist, and rolled and crawled out of the door.

"call……"

Itia took a long breath, put the iron tongs into the fire pit again, and then walked towards the inner room.

There was no one inside.

There were only wheat stalks thrown everywhere, eight semicircular iron rings, and some thick wire and leather...

What about people?

She called several times but received no response. She walked back to the longhouse hall and saw the side door open.

……

"Smelly bitch, sooner or later I want you to look good and make you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy..."

Huo Bo had a sinister expression on his face and kept cursing in his mouth, thinking in his heart that he would deal with the widow again after his injuries healed.

If you can't defeat him alone, then call your father and someone else.Three people are definitely enough to control this widow. Look at how this bitch will cry and kneel down to beg for mercy.

"hiss……"

The pain in the fingers of his left hand and the wrist of his right hand made him sweat uncontrollably and his steps staggered.

The moonlight illuminated the empty road ahead, making it look particularly cold.

A gust of wind blew by, and Huobo couldn't help but shrink his neck, and a low and strange voice came from behind him.

Cluck...cluck...cluck...

There seemed to be something crawling behind him.

Getting closer--

He quickly turned around anxiously and saw a pair of eyes that did not look like humans locked on him.

A pair of cold eagle eyes!

Huo Bo didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart at this moment, and he couldn't help but asked loudly: "Rayleigh, why are you chasing me..."

There was no reply in his ears, only the cold and ruthless sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air.

brush--

Huo Bo's eyes suddenly reflected a sword light, and the next second, he felt that the whole world was spinning.

The body suddenly fell to the ground, and within the pupils that gradually expanded——

Under the moonlight, the eagle-eyed young man put away his long sword, the weird little girl with a smile twisted off the crow's head, and the blurry woman under the dim candlelight in the distance walked to the door of the longhouse, and her shadow crawled out of the wall behind her. …

The screen freezes!
