Lord Highlander

   Chapter 290 289. Portrait

A horn-shaped water bag, a bag of salty baked biscuits, a dark red sharp machete, and a sleeping bag made of rawhide were all the robbers carried. Materials, of course, they also have a set of tattered leather armor and a pair of long riding boots. If they are lucky, they can also find a dagger in the riding boots.

  The four robbers sneaked in from the Grand Canyon without riding a horse, but the other luggage was very complete.

During the escape, they discarded all these belongings along the way, and now they have all been picked up by the young people in the first group. They also found a money bag from the robber who was caught at the end. Ten silver coins...

In the end, the robber also knew what would happen if he was captured alive, so with his last breath, he hit his chest on the hatchet of a young man in Digo Village. The leather breastplate was not cut by the hatchet. On the contrary, the young man with the hatchet in his hand turned pale with fright. He once thought that he would be killed by vicious and vicious robbers, so he stood there with his eyes closed in fright.

It wasn't until the robber was shot through the throat by an arrow from the young hunter who caught up from behind, and the robber fell into a pool of blood with a strange smile on his face, and the young man from Digo Village sat on the sand and wailed loudly. He probably It is a deep understanding that life and death are often only a moment away.

The trophies of water bag, sleeping bag, riding boots, and even a machete were placed in front of this group of young people, but they failed to attract everyone to take a closer look. On the contrary, the dozens of silver coins on the last bandit made these young people cry in unison. They exclaimed, as if they had seen something extraordinary, and everyone began to discuss whether to share the bag of silver coins privately. They felt that these silver coins should belong to everyone in the first place. As for the trophies they picked up, this group of young people planned to take them back and hand them over to the village.

Suldak glanced at the horn-like water bladders. The price of these water bladders in the leather shop in Hailansa City is at least 5 silver coins, and the value of raw cowhide sleeping bags is about 8 silver coins. , and those pairs of riding boots will be more expensive, each pair will cost at least 10 silver coins. Of course, these are far from the value of the machete. It will definitely not be less than 30 silver coins. These young people probably don't know that the trophies on the ground are more valuable.

Suldak held a piece of parchment and stood silently aside. This parchment depicted a portrait of a woman. On the portrait was a sketch of a bust of a woman who resembled Selena. This sketch made The calm smile on his face clearly captured the unique charm on Selena's face.

   This piece of parchment was found by him by chance from the last robber. He thought it was a magical scroll of 'gathering fire' or 'gathering water', but he didn't expect it to be a portrait that resembled Selena.

  He rolled up the parchment carefully. No one noticed the portrait on the parchment in his hand. Everyone's eyes were focused on the bag of silver coins, so he quietly put the portrait into his magic pocket.

  Suldak has been thinking about how the gangsters found Selina, and they have never seen Selina. Could it be that they can find her accurately only by using language descriptions? It wasn't until now that he found the answer: it turned out to be this highly realistic sketch portrait, and Selena in this portrait was still in her girlhood, and he didn't know where the robbers got it.

Regarding the seized spoils, the young man ran over to seek Suldak's opinion. He was not interested in these leather boots and water bladders. After all, this was a collective action. Although he contributed the most, he could not monopolize anything, so He only said: follow everyone's ideas, he has no opinion at all.

These young people could see that Suldak didn't care too much about the bag of silver coins, but they didn't expect the knights of Suldak to be so talkative. This time, a total of forty-four silver coins were seized, and there were thirty-five young people present. , So everyone discussed it, and each of them got a silver coin, and the rest was still put in the money bag, and handed over to the village together with other spoils of war.

Suldak was also allocated a silver coin. Seeing that he simply put the silver coin into his backpack without saying anything, these young people were completely relieved, thinking: This Suldak knight does not seem to be Disagreeable…

  A total of twelve young people in the first group suffered some injuries, but these injuries were not fatal, and a simple bandage would not be a serious problem.

  The four robbers were buried on the spot, and the villager in Dige Village who was killed by the robber was carried back to the village by young people from the same village.

More than 30 young people walked back to Digo Village from the Grand Canyon. It was already completely dark. The village chiefs of each village did not leave Digo Village. They robbed a villager from Digo Village. Seeing that the young people who had been dispatched hadn’t come back so late, they were thinking about organizing a manpower to help them, when this group of young people appeared at the entrance of the village at the same time.

  Although some people were injured in the team, no one died because of this, and the village chiefs of the villages were a little relieved.

Prior to this, although the old Bright of Wall Village raised the potential threat of these robbers to the village chiefs, few village chiefs paid attention to this matter, otherwise they would not have sent some young people to make up for it. Now that these young people killed four robbers in one go, and injured more than a dozen young people, the village chiefs felt that these robbers who had quietly infiltrated into the mountain area had to be on guard.

  The village chiefs finally began to pay attention to this matter, and agreed with Village Chief Brett to completely clean up these bandit groups within the mountainous area...

In fact, as long as everyone has such a sense of prevention, then these broken-up robbers will not do much in the mountains. The villagers who can survive in this barren land are far more able to survive than they seem. They are more tenacious. They are the mountain people in this Paglos mountain. No one is more familiar with this mountain than them. For them, these robbers are a group of outsiders.

No one noticed these robbers before, because everyone didn't realize what threat these robbers posed to everyone. The village chiefs always thought that the impoverished mountain village would never be the target of these robbers, but they didn't expect these robbers to be plundered. Secretly arresting people, in this way, the robbers have touched the bottom line of each village.

  Therefore, a patrol guard team organized by each village was established that night.

  In fact, each village is only responsible for patrolling the area around its own village. If the bandit group encountered is weak, it will be dealt with directly. If it cannot be dealt with, then ask for help from other villages, and everyone will kill these bandits together.

  After reaching such a consensus among the villages, Village Chief Bright and Surdak returned to Wall Village overnight.

People who went into the mountains to collect mountain products have returned long ago. The eaves of each stone house are covered with various mountain mushrooms. In the dustpan in the yard, there are some unshelled chestnuts and other types of mountain vegetables. Winter storage is done in this way in the village, but this year, compared with previous years, it seems particularly stress-free...

  At least the villagers in Wall Village will not worry about food in winter.
