Chapter 146 The birth of a Gulf leader (10 updates)
Whoa!
The water mixed with white foam rushed down. He reached out to grab the linen clothes, sprinkled the powder made from soap locust, and rubbed it again.

Shaking off all the foam, wringing out the water, and putting it into the wooden bucket next to it, Al took a long breath.

Squeezing out a smile, he nodded to the busy aunts and uncles around him, turned around and walked towards the wooden house area.

"Let's go, school is over!"

"Wait a minute, I still have one question I don't understand..."

"Hey? This teacher just talked about it!"

"Hey, teach me!"

"That's good. Come to my house. My mother bought dried cod today..."

"Okay, okay, my favorite cod is dried."

"Hey... I really can't do anything about you."

"..."

Two children ran past her, both with happy smiles on their faces.

Looking at the scene of their childhood sweethearts, the corners of his mouth could not help but curve slightly.

She then remembered something, subconsciously stopped her smile, opened the door and walked in.

As soon as I walked in, the rich aroma of meat penetrated my nostrils, and my saliva couldn't help but secrete.

She swallowed and tried not to think about the smell of food. She walked to the window and hung the washed clothes to dry.

"Little girl, come to eat."

"Hey, I didn't expect that my old lady's craftsmanship is pretty good. Ms. Tana recognized me."

"The supervisor of the breeding farm, starting from this month, will pay me 1 silver coin. I have never earned so much money..."

"I bought some more for me today. You can eat them too!"

She was stunned for a moment, and faced a wrinkled face, which was waving at her, no longer as serious as before.

She hesitated for a while, then faced those eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate everything, slowly walked over and sat down.

The old man didn't seem to notice the vigilance in her eyes. He scooped up a large bowl of broth quite enthusiastically and said with emotion:

"When you come to the Gulf Territory, you are truly alive. What kind of life did you live before..."

I saw her taking a sip happily, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes relaxed.

Her cloudy eyes revealed endless satisfaction. Only a few of her yellowed teeth were used up. She chewed carefully, savored the beauty, took a long breath, and then said in a serious voice:

"Old lady, I have lived for more than 80 years. No matter how you calculate it, I have lived enough."

"Hey, I'm lucky again. I came to the Gulf Territory. I can enjoy a few years of happiness before I die..."

"Well... look at this black bread. It's made with so many solid ingredients. There's no sawdust or ash. I haven't eaten it in more than 20 years..."

"You are still young and you still have a lot of good days ahead of you!"

"Hey, this dried cod fish has a real taste. It only costs 50 copper coins. You can buy it today..."

"The lord is still worried that we won't be able to eat well. It's so interesting..."

The old lady dipped the black bread into the soup, wrapped it in dried fish cut into small strips, and ate one bite after another.

Out of the corner of his eye, I saw her picking up the black bread. She smiled shrewdly and pushed a jar of shredded radishes over:
"Try this, I don't know if it suits your taste."

She nodded silently, awkwardly picked up a few shredded radishes with her chopsticks, put them into the brown bread, and ate them with big mouthfuls.

The inconspicuous shredded radish was not as bland as she imagined. Instead, it was rich in sour and sweet, crisp and delicious.

"Let me tell you, there is no better place than here."

"If you can meet a lord who cares about his people, the people here will have a good life for at least a few decades. The same should be true for your tribe..."

"Butler Ralph has agreed. You can report to the Lord's Mansion at noon!" "..."

She froze while eating the bread and stared at the old lady in disbelief.

She never thought that the stupid old lady who looked a little dim-sighted and even secretly laughed at her would actually know everything!
Her first reaction was to kill and silence him, then turn around and run away!

However, looking at the old lady's calm eyes, I remembered the powerful strength and thunderous methods of the soldiers in the territory.

She resisted the urge again.

If you do it, you will definitely die!
She can't die yet!
However, after waiting for a long time, she did not get the arrest she imagined, only the sly smile of the old lady opposite.

The latter finished the last bite of bread and wiped the corners of his mouth flatly:

"You don't have to have a grudge. The Lord knows everything. He told me this."

"By the way, if you are smart enough, you will know the reason why the Lord did this."

"Hey, I can't even eat good food..."

After saying that, the old lady took away the rice bowl, walked slowly into the kitchen, and washed the dishes.

It took her a while before she started to move again. She finished all the food, cleared the table, washed her dishes and chopsticks, and silently returned to the room.

She sat calmly in front of the dressing table, looking at the face in the mirror that was no longer as thin as before, and the old lady's words echoed in her mind.

Silently he opened the dresser drawer and took out the broken pieces of armor inside.

She gently touched the gap, with a little hesitation in her emerald eyes.

How to choose the future?
At this moment, bursts of hurried exclamations came from outside the room. The voice was extremely familiar to her:

"Be careful, there are many fishmen coming over the other side of the river!"

"Ah, the patrolling sentry has issued an order for everyone to go home and be on standby!"

"Soldiers who have passed the reserve assessment, hurry up and gather on the wall. I have to inform the others!"

"Send a city-wide announcement and I'm going to go to the Lord's Mansion to report to the Lord!"

"..."

Is it Jifan?
And Tom!

She recognized Ji Fan's voice. She passed the reserve soldier assessment and was assigned to Ji Fan's subordinates.

This was an emergency, and she had a greater chance than usual if she really wanted to run.

But when a long and deep cry sounded from the direction of the city gate.

She suddenly realized that at some point, she had already put on the uniforms of the reserve soldiers distributed by the lord, put on the armor, and picked up the weapons.

When she walked out of the gate and saw figures rushing towards the city wall, the complexity and entanglement in her mind disappeared, and she followed them without hesitation.

When she passed her neighbor's house, she saw two nervous and envious faces. They were waving to her excitedly:
"Sister Elio, come on, stay safe!"

"That's right, sister Alio, when you come back, I'll treat you to grilled fish!"

An inexplicable feeling came to his heart. Elio's pretended coldness disappeared without a trace. He showed a bright smile to them and answered briskly:
"Okay, you guys hide at home and be sure to pay attention to safety. I'll tell you a story when I come back."

As they cheered and clapped their hands excitedly, Alio ran towards the city wall, and several familiar team members smiled at her and greeted her.

The old lady standing at the door looked at her leaving figure with a deep smile on her face.

"You already regard yourself as a Gulf leader..."
