Chapter 23 23: Undercoffee Village

Maybe the injury was really serious, and Barton couldn't wake up for most of the day.

While waiting for him to wake up, Sean brought back the horses that had been kept by the villagers, while Anji went to the village to buy some daily necessities.

Of course, these were all recorded in Slade's account. After all, she was a knight who was so poor that she had nothing to lose.

Facing the fearful and indignant looks of the villagers, Anji could only pretend to say "I don't know anything, I didn't see anything", and limped back to them under the afterglow of the setting sun.

This longhouse where I stayed temporarily.

The houses of the farmers in Groske's territory are all very similar. This house is also roofed with straw, but the walls are made of wooden boards, and there are holes just big enough for a five-year-old child to pass through - such as this brown

Little boy with hair.

At this time, the boy was hiding behind the hole, quietly observing the three strangers in the house with his big shining eyes. Although he thought he was hiding well, in fact, half of his body was exposed and was covered by

Sean and Angie looked at each other.

But neither of them paid attention to the child. It posed no threat to them, and they had no intention of communicating with him for the time being.

"How many days do you think it will take for Barton to recover?" Angie sat on the straw pile next to Barton and chatted with Sean.

"About three or four days. I've checked and found that the wounds on his body are mainly caused by body deformation. Anyway, his body is strong. There is no doctor in this small village, so he can get through it on his own."

Sean replied casually, taking a bite of the dry and hard bread in his hand.

After learning that Barton was fine for the time being, Anji felt relieved and began to clean the wounds on her legs.

Since the wound was injured by a mixture of "spider's corrosive bodily fluids" and "cursed black water", plus it was soaked in ice water, it looked very shocking at this time and had a tendency to fester.

Seeing how injured she was, Sean, who was eating bread, couldn't help but frowned, "It's like this, and you're still running around?"

"It's nothing serious," Anji shrugged. "At least it's much better than a certain deputy commander lying unconscious on the ground."

These words were half a show of bravery and half sincerity. Since the strongest member of the team had already fallen, this injury was nothing, and no matter how painful it was, it was just a simple trauma.

What she was afraid of was the twisted internal pain, strong hallucinations, and fatal suffocation she had experienced in the silent forest.

Sean sighed. He suddenly felt that no one in this team could make people worry-free.

Anji took a bottle of wine from the villagers and poured some on the wound in an attempt to disinfect it.

"Hiss, ah, ah, ah, it hurts, it hurts—"

The fight was so big that Sean was embarrassed to continue eating. He looked at the wailing girl with a touch of disgust in his tone:

"Is this what you said is no big deal?"

"Hiss... I noticed that you seem to be talking more than before..." Anji gritted his teeth and covered the wound, and retorted angrily, "Don't you have to be strong as a person? At this time, you should praise me for my good moral character.

, instead of being sarcastic!”

"I admit that you are quite strong, but if your wound worsens, don't I have to take care of two people? You might as well return to Kent County to report the situation to Lord Slade while your injury is not serious now."

Due to gender, it is naturally better for Sean to stay and take care of Barton.

But Anji felt very guilty now - the sword she brought out from the castle was completely worn out, and she just threw it at the bottom of the cave, and most of the chainmail on her right leg was corroded.

When he couldn't afford the equipment at all, he had to go back and tell Slade, "Your precious deputy captain has been seriously injured and fell to the ground trying to save me, and he can't get up for the time being!"

What is the difference between this kind of thing and suicide!

Besides, there were indeed some things in this village that concerned her, but it was inconvenient to talk about them now that there were outsiders present.

After thinking about it, Anji confidently retorted to Sean, "If I don't go back, I will go to you."

This belated reply made Sean mistakenly think that she was showing off her temper, and she became a little irritable:

"How long have you been talking like this? Do you think there is any other choice? If we delay things, we will all receive military punishment."

The atmosphere between the two people is getting more and more anxious, and sparks are about to fly.

At this moment, the little boy who thought he was hiding behind the wall finally hesitantly walked into the house and said cautiously:

"Brother Knight and Sister Knight, can you please stop quarreling..."

Children don't like to see adults quarreling. The quarrel between these strong-looking brothers and sisters wearing armor and swords frightened the young boy even more.

But even so, he still wanted to protect his home, fearing that a fight between the knights would make the house more dilapidated.

"This is my home, you have to listen to me..."

Although the boy tried very hard to act like a little master, in the face of the looks from Sean and Anji, he felt so guilty that he slowly fell silent just halfway through his words.

Looking at the tearful child in front of them, who was about to burst into tears in the next second, the two exchanged glances and reached a tacit understanding of a temporary ceasefire.

Angie walked gently to the boy, knelt down on one knee, and tried to look as friendly as possible, "You are Briar, right? Your parents have told us about you. Your father's name is Locke, right?"

Brielle's nervousness eased. He sobbed silently a few times and wiped away his snot and tears with his dusty little hands. A few light black marks instantly appeared on his fair face.

"Well... I am Briar, the son of Locke, 'Briel of the South'."

Ordinary farmers generally do not have surnames, and most of the names given to their children are relatively casual, and it is inevitable that there will be duplicate names. Therefore, they will add the geographical location of their home before their names to distinguish them from each other.

The same is true for the name Anji, but she can't remember what she was called before...

"Okay, Brother Brier," Angie wiped his face and said softly, "We won't quarrel, and we will try not to affect your family. We are just staying here for a few days. Some of our companions have suffered a lot.

Serious injury, need to rest."

The unique affinity of women played a very good role. Brier glanced at Barton lying on the ground covered in blood, then looked at the gentle-looking elder sister in front of him, and slowly let down his guard.

"Are you knights under the lord?" The boy's childish voice still had a hint of crying, as if he hadn't fully recovered yet, "I heard from the adults that you are very powerful, and you can't even beat the strongest Uncle Berg.

you……"

Great, this is the information Angie wants.

She still had a warm smile on her face, but there was a hint of curiosity in her eyebrows: "Who is Uncle Berg? Is he really strong?"

"Yes, yes!" When talking about a familiar topic, Burrell's eyes suddenly became sparkling, "He is a new resident who just moved here some time ago, and he can even chop down a tree with one axe.

!It’s awesome!”

The simple-minded boy danced and gestured, seeming very happy to chat with the knights.

Under Angie's guidance, Burrell told many things he knew: such as the residences of the village chief and Berg, and the fact that the Berg family always kept some wound medicine, and occasionally bandaged injured villagers enthusiastically.

Anji smiled and nodded, praising him from time to time while secretly writing down all the details.

As for the reason for doing this, the reason is very simple - in a small border village far away from the emperor, it is not strange for anything to happen.

Although she is usually harmless and even a bit careless, she can always keenly capture those emotional changes that ordinary people cannot detect.

Especially when she went to the village to "buy" things, the villagers couldn't hide their murderous looks.

At first Anji was just vaguely uneasy.

But after learning about the existence of this "new resident", her thoughts instantly became clear.

It seems that the village of Anderkofi is far from being as simple as imagined.
