Lord Highlander

  Chapter 291 290. Night Lost

  The night breeze is cool

Suldak gently pushed open the yard door under the bright moonlight, and led the horse into the yard. The cow tied to the stone mill was grazed, he led the horse to a post, and untied it again. Saddle, scoop out half a bucket of water from the water tank and pour it into the sink. The horse trough next to it is full of chopped hay. This ancient Bolei horse seems to have adapted to this kind of life.

  It flicked its tail quietly, lowered its head to drink water unhurriedly, ate the fodder in the trough, and ignored Suldak.

Suldak untied the strap of the leather breastplate, and sat on the wooden bench at the door of the stone house, ready to lean against the wall of the stone house to rest for a while. After a day of tossing, he wanted to take a bath, but he was too lazy to take a step. , He leaned the Roman sword hanging on his waist against the wall, and there was still a faint smell of blood on it.

He reached out to touch the ladle by the side of the water tank, and poured a ladle of clear water on the Roman sword. The clear water flowed down the scabbard to the ground, and it turned dark red. Worried that the edge of the Roman sword would rust because of this, he took out the scabbard. After carefully wiping the Roman sword again with an oilcloth, Suldak relaxed his body and sat quietly against the wall of the stone house.

  Taking off the leather armor on his body, he felt that his body became much lighter. There were some blood stains on the leather armor, which needed to be scrubbed well.

   At this time, Suldak discovered that there were many pine mushrooms on the dustpan in the yard, as well as a lot of chestnuts and some sour pears. It seemed that these should be what Natasha and Rita harvested in the mountains today.

He walked to the side of the sour pear. He knew that this kind of sorbet tasted sour and astringent, and the pulp tasted like chewing wood dregs. It couldn't be swallowed at all. It had to be marinated in a jar for a month to turn sour. The pear becomes a kind of pickled vegetable that can be served with rice, and it can be eaten in jars until next summer.

  The door of the main house was pushed open, and Natasha's voice came from behind: "I came back so late... Have you had dinner? I ate toasted oatmeal tonight, and there is another one in the fireplace..."

She has long blond hair and looks like she just got up from the bed. She is wearing only a thin linen pajamas, with a sleepy look. Standing by the door with her feet, the contours of her body were fully exposed under the thin pajamas, perhaps because it was night, she was not as shy as she was during the day, at least she could puff out her full chest.

   "I have eaten." Suldak was a little dazed at this moment.

  Natasha raised her hands, put her loose long hair behind her head, and walked out of the stone house, stepping on the stone slab with her feet, which were dazzlingly white under the reflection of the moonlight.

   "Do you want to take a bath? I'll boil some hot water." Her voice was a little hoarse, which didn't quite match her delicate face.

  Suldak leaned against the door and said to Natasha: "You can just take a shower. In the army, you also use cold water to bathe. You have long been used to it."

Natasha didn't stop because of Suldak's refusal. She walked into the kitchen, and soon there was the sound of smashing firestones. Then she went to the water tank to fetch water, and Suldak hurried forward to help After approaching, Suldak was slightly taken aback. He saw the turbulent waves under Natasha's pajamas very clearly. Natasha felt Suldak's gaze, turned around and walked in front with her head down.

Straw was burning in the fireplace in the kitchen, and the flames were burning very high. The firelight reflected Natasha's smooth face, her lake-blue eyes were exceptionally bright, her eyebrows were delicate, her water chestnut-shaped lips were slightly pursed, curled up Sitting on a wooden bench, she covered her feet with a linen nightgown. She took out a piece of browned wheat cake from the fireplace with an iron hook, and sliced ​​a thin slice of cheese and a slice of onion, sandwiched between them. Inside the wheat cake, handed it to Suldak.

Suldak took the wheat cake, her face was slightly flushed, looking at the delicate lips, he couldn't resist grabbing Natasha's hand, holding her in his arms, holding half of the cake in his hand. A wheatbread with cheese in it fell to the ground with a 'snap'...

  …

  Suldak pushed away the white lotus-like arm that was pressing on his chest, and the next second his consciousness returned to his brain, and he sat up suddenly from the wooden bed.

Wrapped in a blanket, Natasha was sleeping soundly by her side. Feeling movement around her, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her beautiful big eyes opened little by little. Then she realized something, and turned her head just in time to meet Su Erdak looked at each other, and then his cheeks turned pink with a 'shua'.

It was still dark at this time, and just as Suldak was about to say something, Natasha gently pressed his lips with a finger. She nimbly sat up from the bed and straightened her messy long hair , her eyes were full of color, her teeth slightly bit her lower lip, only wrapped in the military blanket of Suldak, slipped out of Suldak's stone house lightly, and quickly returned to her room.

Suldak still clearly remembers that the first time she saw Natasha in this home, she had a disheveled face caused by malnutrition, and she always lowered her head, looking like she wanted to bury her face in her chest. With a shy look and numb eyes, no one can see any hope for the future in her eyes.

   Now she seems to have changed a lot, at least her attitude towards life has become more positive and optimistic, at least she has more smiles on her face, and the way she looks up and smiles is really beautiful.

Suldak lay back on the bed again. At this time, his mind became empty, completely blank, and then some photos flashed through his mind, and many images of the second team appeared in front of him. Those members seemed to be looking at him. Smiling, he saw Suldak in a trance, and he seemed to be waving to him from a distant cloud...

When Suldak woke up again, the bright sunlight had come in from the door. Little Peter put his hands on his face, stared at him with big eyes without blinking, saw him wake up, and said to him with a smile: : "Daddy is a big slob..."

  Suldak reached out and pinched little Peter's cheek, sat up from the bed, put his hands under his armpits, and lifted him above his head.

Facing the rising sun in the morning, Suldak held up the laughing little Peter and walked to the yard outside the house. Rita was chopping hay in the yard, Natasha was making breakfast in the kitchen, and old Sheila was squatting under the cow Milking the cows under the belly...

  There was a faint green mist in the mountains, and there were some brisk footsteps in the village.

   "Suldak...Suldak, the four carriages you ordered have arrived!" Charlie had just finished shouting when he appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

   "The carriage I ordered? When did I order the carriage? I'm going to Hailansa City to order some ordinary axles, but this is just an idea..." Suldak was a little dazed for a while, and said in confusion.

Just when Suldak was puzzled, a businessman came out from behind Charlie. He was covered in wet dew. He obviously rushed to Wall Village day and night. He saluted Suldak , and said: "Knight of Suldak, Baron Karl asked me to send it to you. He said that you just need these now... and Baron Karl has already paid for the four carriages for you..."
