Chapter 123: Snow 3
Mina sat in the big house, the fireplace had been rekindled, and the temperature in the room had risen and warmed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Steven removed a door from another house and installed it in the doorway of this house. Although the door was a little short and showed a section above, it was better than nothing, it blocked out the wind and snow and the speed of the hot air in the house.
Steven was holding a small hammer and nailing the wooden board in his hand to the gap in the door.
Mina was pulling out some cooking utensils from her magic backpack, some iron pots and bowls, and some simple spices.
Scarface was tinkering in a small cubicle in the innermost part of the house, which contained a kitchen counter. It used to be the kitchen of the big house, but all the pots and pans are gone.
"That's it! This chimney is not plugged and can still be used. Scarface wiped his forehead with a towel and walked out of the cubicle. His face was so black with smoke that he didn't notice it, and after being wiped with a towel again, his whole face turned into a flower face.
"Huh." Steven saw Scarface's face first, and he smiled and didn't speak.
Hearing Steven's laughter, Mina also looked up at him, and then Mina also put down what she was holding and began to cover her mouth and laugh.
Scarface looked at the two of them with a tense face, and then he reached out, a black one.
He walked straight outside, grabbed a thin layer of snow from the ground with his hands, and wiped it on his face.
Scarface sniffed, and finally the snow that was coming down from his face was gone.
A towel was handed from behind.
"Thank you!"
Scarface said casually, taking the towel and preparing to wipe it on his face. But when he put it on his face, he felt that the towel didn't taste right. As a warrior but able to be a scout, Scarface is special about his nose and ears.
He could smell and remember the scents of people he touched, his ears could sense the tiniest sounds around him, and he could hear many invisible thieves. Relying on these advantages, he has become an excellent scout part-time thief nemesis.
The towel in front of her was obviously not ordinary, she belonged to Sergeant Mina, and the smell was not half of the towel, it was obviously carried with her... It's all Sergeant Mina's body scent...
Scarface was a little embarrassed, but the towel had already been placed on his face, so he was only to blame himself for his negligence.
Scarface rubbed his head and handed the towel out, but he didn't turn his head, still standing in the snow.
Scarface is 26 years old this year, and at his age, he is already a father of several children in peacetime. When the natural disaster didn't come, as a member of Brill's garrison, he was also the center of attention of the girls around him, but unfortunately Scarface had no other ideas at that time, his idea was to make money and take care of his family.
Now that his family is gone, Scarface usually feels very empty and lonely, he feels that there is something missing in his life, so he will always use training to numb himself, he will always feel very lonely. But just now, when he smelled Sergeant Mina's towel, his heart, which he had never felt emotion, moved inexplicably.
Scarface felt that he was a little abnormal, maybe it was because he had a fight today and didn't have a rest, right?
He raised his head and looked at the snowflakes scattered in the sky, at the white sky.
Hopefully, this heavy snow will not hinder the corps commander's plans.
Scarface shuddered, shrunk his clothes, and turned to walk into the house.
Steven was still cleaning up the garbage that had accumulated in the room, and he sorted the garbage, and the discarded furniture was split up and placed next to the fireplace, and the dust was swept directly out of the door.
"Steven." Scarface shouted as he looked at him.
"What's the matter? Captain? Steven asked, dropping what he was doing.
"It's snowing too hard outside, I see a stable over there, pull all our horses into the stable, and find some forage outside by the way, and put it in."
"Okay." Steven dropped what he was holding and walked out.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Scarface thought about it and walked to the cubicle in the room, where Sergeant Mina was preparing dinner for the evening.
He leaned against the edge of the door frame of the cubicle, where Sergeant Mina was boiling the snow on the fire in the cubicle, she was dusting the kitchen counter with a small piece of linen, wiping it for a while and then throwing the linen into the pot, then gently scooping it out and wring it out, and continuing to wipe the kitchen counter.
Always, women. It's always busy, at home and outside.
Looking at Sergeant Mina, who was busy, Scarface was thinking wildly.
"Sergeant Mina!" Scarface couldn't help but ask.
Mina, who was working all in her body, shook in fright, but she immediately relaxed, and she looked back at Scarface with a smile and said.
"Is there something wrong with the captain?"
"Well, it's okay, I'm just coming to see you." Scarface said casually, and soon he regretted it, and Sergeant Mina's face turned a little unnatural.
"Actually, I just wanted to ask what we had for dinner?" Scarface hurriedly rounded things up.
"Pies, brown bread, sweet potatoes, potatoes, all of them, and the captain gave them to me when we came." Mina lowered her head and pulled out the food from the magic she was carrying.
"Maybe we can eat something else." Scarface suddenly said mysteriously.
"Oh? What will it be? Mina said strangely. We don't have anything else to eat, it's enough for us to eat for almost a month. ”
"Wait a minute, you'll know." Scarface smiled and walked to the door.
Walking to the door, before Scarface could open the door, the door was pushed open, and a gust of wind and snow squeezed in.
Harrow, Naomi, and Hamilton squeezed in together.
Harrow had two dead rabbits in his hand, Naomi had a fawn in his hand, and Hamilton came back with a dead wolf on his back.
"I'll just say, we've got something to eat tonight." Scarface turned to Mina behind her.
"I'm freezing to death! There's nothing around here! Naomi dropped the fawn in her hand and took off her gloves to cover her frozen red ears, "I haven't even met a few small animals. ”
Hamilton and Harrow also threw away the carcasses of the animals in their hands.
"Have you taken care of their bloodstains? Don't bring anything you shouldn't bring back. Scarface asked, looking at the animal's wounds.
"If we can't do this thing, how else can we scout?" Naomi sniffled, her little nose cold red.
"But the wolf meat is not very delicious, why do you want to bring a wolf back from the vice captain?" Naomi asked, kicking the black wolf on the ground.
"Because it was going to eat me, I had to bring it back." Hamilton said as he walked over to the fireplace.
"This fur is amazing! Find a leather craftsman who can make a great scarf or cape or something. Naomi stroked the wolf's black fur and couldn't help but say, "Vice Captain, will you give me the fur?" ”
"Whatever, anyway, there are no leather craftsmen here, so it's useless for you to take it for the time being." Hamilton said casually as he roasted the fire.
"Everybody come to take a break, have a hard time. I'll take care of the food. Mina smiled and walked out, dragging the rabbit and fawn with her, leaving the wolf to Naomi.
As it grew darker outside, Scarface braved the snow to go to the stables and set up a few improvised warning traps around the stables to prevent some hungry wolves and bears from eating their mounts.
The blizzard came almost a month earlier than usual, and many bears and wolves were afraid that they were not ready for winter, and the forest was now full of foraging animals.
By the time Scarface returned, an iron pot had been propped up in the middle of the house, and a fire pit had been built with stones underneath, and the water in the iron pot was bubbling, and the scouts were sitting around waiting for Mina's dinner.
Mina cut the potatoes into small pieces and threw them in the pot, adding salt and other spices to them, and finally she sat down next to her with a stack of plates and chopsticks, and handed them to everyone.
Scarface sat next to Mina, Mina handed him a set of chopsticks, and looking at Mina's kind smile, Scarface's heart throbbed involuntarily.
He hurriedly took the dishes and chopsticks and lowered his head, looking at the food in the pot.
"Ahh I can't wait! Steven sniffed hard at the smell of rabbit meat and venison cooked in the iron pot, "I think I can eat a cow!" ”
"You stupid bear! I really don't know what you grew up eating. Naomi thrashed him and laughed.
"Do you know why I joined the army?" Steven said happily, "Because I ate a lot when I was a child, and I also have a lot of strength. When I was younger, I was able to eat what my father ate for a day. Later, my family sent me to Lordaeron's city defense army, saying that it was the only place where I could have enough to eat. ”
"Then your parents, it's really not easy." Hamilton leaned back against the wall and said, "You're afraid you're going to make your family poor, aren't you?" ”
Steven stroked his bare head a little embarrassed, "My family's income is only 4 silver coins a year, so I had to join the army, and my lord at the time, Lord Harald, originally wanted me to be a knight for him." ”
"Oh? That's a good thing. Naomi said as she smelled the aroma in the pot. That way you'll be well fed. ”
"No, he made it a condition for my sister to be his maid." Steven shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is definitely not going to work, Lord Harald already has a lot of maids, and it is said that he has a crush on my sister's beauty. So I turned him down and joined the Lordaeron City Defenses. ”
Scarface listened to their small talk, groping in his bag.
