Kaeus's chess game

050 old friend

By the crackling fire, everyone is thinking about their own thoughts. The land of flesh and blood seems to be a bad nightmare. Now sitting here and thinking about it, I really feel that those days have been ridiculous.

"Travelers far away, can we come over and have a rest?" A group of people on the road came from afar to greet them.

If this is in the land of flesh and blood, everyone will not let people get close to anything, and at this time, everyone smiles, as if they suddenly feel the value of trust between people.

"Come here, my friend, welcome." Lyudmila said with a smile.

In the darkness, several mountain people in coarse cloth slowly came out. They were originally holding simple sticks, but they put down the sticks honestly on the edge of the fire and walked to the fire empty-handed.

"Please don't be nervous, we are just poor mountain people who want to go out to make a living..." Several mountain people smiled and opened their hands and walked to the fire and sat down. When they approached the land of flesh and blood, even the rough mountain people had to be careful. These travelers who had been harassed by bandits who were as many flesh and blood were neurotic. They are often immersed in a state of extreme tension and distrust. At this time, any slight stimulus will suddenly arouse their sense of crisis, and conflicts and misunderstandings will arise inexplicably.

"Haha, my child, rest assured. We all know that we have left that evil place..." Lyudmila nodded with a smile.

The mountain people nodded and thanked them, then took out the thick dough cakes from their cloth bags and baked them on the fire. They tore them directly and ate them dryly.

A ghost suddenly laughed, like a night owl who saw a field mouse. When the eagle, snail and others looked at him doubtfully, the ghost raised his hand and took out a jar of wine from the wood crystal core, took it to the fire and sat down, pushing the wine jar into the arms of a mountain man.

A kid wearing a mask came over with a bad smile, which made these cramped mountain people a little nervous. However, as soon as they saw the wine jar, everyone immediately smiled. Which mountain people in the cold land of the north don't like this bite!

After taking the wine jar, the mountain people skillfully slapped and sealed it, took two sips, stuffed it into the hands of the mountain people next to him, and then thanked the ghost with a smile on his face.

"You're welcome. Is your hand ready?"

The smile suddenly became stiff, and the sentence gradually turned into surprise on the mountain people's face: "How do you... know?"

"Ha ha, I watched Rikeshi's little sweat king cut off your hand and pay to help you pick it up. How do you think I know?" The ghost took off his mask with a smile. It turned out that these mountain people were not others, but the brothers who cheated in Grand Cullen.

"My mountain god, you are the little devil!" The mountain people immediately shouted. He was the old seven whose hand was cut off by Shaobu Xiaohan King.

Several mountain people were embarrassed. After being beaten by the ghost, they had thought about when to avenge him again, but later they heard that a purple-eyed boy actually fought against the Delis knights in the Moon Lake for 15 days and won a complete victory, which made several mountain people completely dispel their imagination. He We also know what kind of weight we are. Outsiders who dare to stand out at the Dam Conference are not up to be provoked by those mountain people who can only have some shallow fists.

"You have been miserable enough in Delis. Why is it even worse to go home now?" Although the ghost is much younger than Lao Qi, he still patted Lao Qi on the shoulder with a smile. He remembers that in Delis Lao Qi, they were at least wearing thick samurai uniforms, but now they are like a group of farmers at home farmers.

"Hey, isn't this going to cross the land of flesh and blood together? Although the bandits there don't pay much attention to us mountain people, they are really dressed a little decently, which will inevitably cause other people's jealousy. Lao Qi rubbed his big hand and laughed.

"Why do you always go out when it's so dangerous outside? Isn't the wife and children in the family better than anything else? Agui took Lao Qi's cake and tore open a piece and tasted it. The thick noodle cake tasted good.

"Ha ha, this is made by my mother-in-law. Don't dislike it." Lao Qi saw that the ghost was willing to eat his cake, smiled and stuffed this piece into the hand of the ghost. Then he took out another piece and said while baking, "We also know that home is good, but it's a pity that our place in Riga is too cold. There are few crops and there is less grain. You said that we As an old man, you can't watch your wife and children starve.

"The seven of us are all from the same village," Lao Qiyi pointed to the six mountain people by the fire and said, "They, like me, run out to make money for a better family. Don't laugh at us. We don't have much ability. Relying on our parents to leave this big body, we can only work hard or deceive."

"Why don't you go to the mercenary regiment to work? Your body can also be good if you practice.

"Hey, I still can't bear to leave home. Every year before sowing, we have to come back to take care of the thin land at home. After planting the seeds at home, we can't leave. That little field will also rely on the women to serve. Well, as soon as we collect this year's grain, we will come out to make money and fight in the field. That little food is not enough for the family to chew. Lao Qi picked up the already baked cake and chewed it hard.

"You have lived hard enough..." The ghost nodded and said.

"Not only us, but the whole of Lebanon is so poor, but we are willing to live on these mountains and plateaus. We are the descendants of the mountain gods and must not abandon the mountains!" Lao Qi, who was overwhelmed by life, laughed at this time: "We Ricans have a mountain-like will. This difficulty is not difficult for real men. If our ancestors can survive like this, we can also do it!"

"Where are you going this trip? Do you still want to go to the grassland?" Agui smiled, and Lao Qi's words made him have some special views on this group of men who cheated and did everything outside.

"Now it's time to be cold on the grassland, and there is no oil and water. We're going to go to Grand. Now it's the warmest place on the mainland."

"Well, Glen is really warm. Like here, I obviously feel very cold at night." Agui gently rubbed his shoulder and walked further north, and the weather gradually cooled down.

Lao Qi laughed and said, "Then you didn't go to the north. The frozen wasteland was covered with snow all year round, and not to mention the mountain that day. The wind was like a knife, which made life painful!"

"We are going to go to Big Rock City. It should be very cold there, right?" The wine jar was passed back by the mountain people, and the ghost picked it up and took a sip. The cake was really too dry.

"Of course, the Great Stone City is on the edge of Tianshan Mountain, where ice and snow do not melt all year round. I think you still buy a few animal skins when you pass by the town, or you people can't survive the Great Stone City at all."

"Are you familiar with Big Stone City?" The ghost asked curiously.

"Of course, Big Stone City is the former capital of Riga. Although the current tribal kings all go to Wharton City, which is a little south, Big Rock City is everyone's hometown after all. Seven of us have also been there to ask for a living before, but later we don't know where a group of bandits came from. We rarely Go again."

"Marma Bandit? What kind?" As soon as he heard that there was a roadblock, the ghost immediately came to his senses.

"They are all robbers riding horses! People from all over the world have them, but all of them are skillful and come and go like the wind, and they are almost to catch up with the knights of Delis. A few years ago, this group of people caused a lot of harm to Liga. Later, they fought with the army of the four tribal kings, and then stopped..." Lao Qi showed a wry smile on his face. Li Jia was an empire on the surface, but the tribal king was respected everywhere. Unless there was an invasion of foreign enemies, the tribal kings would only control it. My own territory doesn't pay attention to the life and death of ordinary people like Lao Qi.

The situation in Liga is somewhat similar to that of Delis, but the tough mountain people have never produced a real king, so their tribes first annexed and looted each other, and then evolved into the twelve largest tribes. Finally, these kings also realized that no one could do anything about each other, so everyone began to choose After solving the problem in a peaceful way instead of continuing internal consumption, after the twelve tribal kings recognized each other's equal status, they established a parliament, and the place where the tribal kings gathered together to discuss state affairs was the current capital, Wharton City, and Lebanon finally looked like a country.
