Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 194 The Forgotten Sunrise
Three boys and a girl walked together on the way to the top of the hill, and it was evident that one of the boys was of the frail type. He had to be supported by two other boys to keep up with the girl at the front. Perhaps it was because the road up the hill was steep, or perhaps because he had not yet eaten breakfast, so it didn't take long for the weakest boy to be exhausted, and he was gasping for breath.
"It's Oried again, you're the slowest walker, can't you just eat a little beef or ham before you come?" the girl who walked in front was wearing a pure white dress, her slightly mature mid-parted curly hairstyle and the look of disdain for Orid on her face showed that the pride in her heart was growing.
"It doesn't matter, Fidel and I just hold him up. The wheat-skinned Eggsy was as tall as five-year-old Field, a year older than Field, but a little thinner than Field, but he was already stronger than Olive in the middle.
Aurid was also five years old, and he was the child of a poor family. But as the child king of the village, Eggsy had a good relationship with every child in the household, and Fed and Orid were his best friends among his peers - including the girl at the forefront, the only daughter of a declining aristocracy.
The girl's name did not reappear in Fed's memory, but the childhood appearance of Oried and Eggsy began to become clear.
At that time, Feder was already the son of Faulkner, the famous leader of the Knights of the Iron Wall, so the girl would always look at Felder with different eyes, after all, whether it was the child king Eggsy or the poor boy Oride, they were just ordinary people, and only the family of the head of the knights could be compared with the nobility - even if she was already from a declining aristocratic family, the girl was still nurtured to be a person who wanted to continue to maintain her noble status.
The girl didn't rush Field, but she impatiently told Eggsy and Oride that if they didn't go any faster, they might not have time to see the sunrise.
The girl who was a year older than Eggsy couldn't wait to go faster, she thought that as a nobleman, it would be a very humiliating thing if she hadn't even seen the sun rise, and Eggsy was just acting as a guide, after all, he was already familiar with this mountain forest, but this time it was different, the cute and beautiful girl was finally asked out by him to play together, and the other party was dressed up, which made him feel even more ignorant about the relationship between men and women; of course Fielder didn't know that the girl was dressed like that in order to make a good impression on himself, and he didn't know that this seven-year-old girl was so precociousIn order to make a good impression in the mind of himself, the son of the head of the Knights, he deliberately sold many pieces of clothing and used all his pocket money to buy this white dress.
Although Oride was thin and malnourished, he didn't want to drag his companions back, "Brother Fed, Brother Eggsey, you don't have to help me, I can walk by myself!" You must know that Oried, who is already surrounded by walls, even has a problem eating, and usually he goes to the store where he works for breakfast. But today he took a leave of absence from work, so his father had already left his breakfast for Oried. But in order to feed his father, who was about to get up and go to work, Oride did not touch the breakfast that belonged to his father, and he followed Eggsy up the mountain hungry - both his father's body and the friendship of his companions were very important to him, and even if he had to ask the store for leave, he decided not to go to work today to subsidize the family's income, in order to accompany everyone to watch the sunrise.
At this time, Fylde is a little more cheerful than Fed, and he will tell his friends many interesting things, about the outside world. His father's men and Uncle Evan had told him all these things, and Field, who was only six years old, noticed that both Eggsy and Oried, and the girl, were interested in what Fielder saw. After all, although Faulkner and Evan are both military officers, the village they canonized is only a small village, and the people here are yearning for the outside world.
"Fed, why don't you ask your uncle to bring us some weapons from the Kingdom of Sallins next time!I heard that your uncle has been promoted to the head of the infantry in a town, so it must be easy to get the sword!" "Eggsy knew that Fentry had the best relationship with his uncle, and he also liked weapons and things like that, "I don't want to play with those rotten copper and iron of Master Gimon, I want the short sword of the regular army!"
"I don't want any weapons, and if I were to exchange a hundred swords for a pearl, I'd agree!" the girl said, glancing back at Feder and responding loudly.
Aurid said, "As long as a friend gives me something, I will accept it." ”
"You have a bit of a pursuit, okay!" Eggsy cried out dissatisfied, "I don't want to stay here forever, if you don't want to be as poor as your father, then you have to pursue a little!"
Oried didn't care, he smiled and said, "If you can have enough to eat outside, then I'll go!"
Fed patted Oried on the shoulder with his hand and said, "No problem! My heroic father brings a lot of loot every time he returns to the village! Uncle Evan often goes to exterminate bandits and thieves, and the next time my father and uncle return in triumph, I will ask them to give me these things!"
"Your heroic father is our lord!" Oried suddenly showed a look of pride, just like his own father suddenly became rich one day and became a rich businessman, "I am really happy to have you as a friend!"
Both Fyd and Eggsy took turns touching each other's heads, indicating that they were also glad to have Orid as a companion, only the girl who was at the forefront glanced at Orid with disdain—the poor boy was of no use, had no strength or money, and was as unpleasant to see as her father, who was incapable of keeping the honor of nobility.
"It's here!" said Eggsie, who suddenly let go of his hand and ran to the front, standing on the edge of a hilltop with a view of the great plains outside, pointing to the distant sunrise that seemed to be about to appear. Fett immediately helped Oried up until he stood on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain. It's a bit steep, and if there is no one to help, maybe Olid will faint from hunger due to lack of strength.
The girl waited until Fed's arrival to stand beside Fed, then stretched out a hand to take Fed's arm and said, "The first time I saw the sunrise, what about you?"
"Me too!" Fidel's other hand grabbed Oried, who slowly broke free, where he was able to stand firm.
The girl, Fed, and Oride all sat down, and only Eggsy wanted to climb a tree to watch the sunrise. He said that he would be able to see the sunrise a little faster than the three of them, and he didn't want to be the one who was behind. Oride tried to climb up too, but Feder stopped him, and the three of them just sat there quietly.
By the time the sun slowly rose from the west, revealing its golden edges little by little, and then revealing its forehead and face, until the whole sun appeared, illuminating the land bright and transparent, Fide and his friends were already a little unable to open their eyes. The intense sunlight made Oried feel even more hungry, but he persevered, perhaps when he went back to the store after the mountain, he would leave a little leftovers for him.
Feder has been a keen observer since he was a child, he can see Oried's thoughts, a beautiful sunrise is not what Orid needs, and being able to feed himself and his family is what the other party needs, "The next time Uncle Evan comes back, I tell him to let you study with me, so that you can live in my house." ”
"What about me? My current school is not very good, why don't you tell your uncle too, and let me come too!" called Eggsy from the tree.
"No problem!"
The girl was still reveling in the beautiful sunrise, and she rested her head on Fed's shoulder. Just then, a very light footstep suddenly appeared behind them, and both Fidel and Eggsy immediately realized that there was someone else.
"Hehe, little ghost, our two brothers have been waiting for you very hard. A bandit-like man with a short knife in his left hand and three fingers missing in his right hand appeared behind them, and in the distance an accomplice with a wooden bow in his hand approached, and the two surrounded him from two directions.
Eggsy climbed a little more up the tree in fright, and the three of them immediately stood up, and the five-year-old Feder kept Oried and the girl behind her, who was already trembling with fear.
"Do you know why I only have three fingers? It's all thanks to your father," the bandit who lost his finger licked the short knife with his mouth, and then looked at Fide with cold eyes, "Since your father cut off all three of my fingers, then I can't help but return the courtesy, let him know that Lao Tzu is not easy to mess with!"
Fei De whispered to the two behind him: "Don't be afraid, he is coming for me, you look for a chance to escape." ”
The girl was already looking around, she didn't want to be caught by the bandits, she was a descendant of a nobleman, and she must not die here!
Fei De didn't expect Aurid to suddenly rush forward, he was still trying to figure out how to lure the bandit in front of him to come over, and then push the other party off the cliff. How can he run away as the son of the head of the Knights?
The bandit immediately kicked the emaciated imp in front of him, but by the time he got to the third kick, Fidel had already rushed over, grabbing his hand with the dagger with both hands, trying to snatch the bandit's weapon. There were only two fingers left in his dominant hand, and for a moment he was restrained by a five-year-old child, and seeing that the short knife in his left hand was about to be taken away, "What are you still doing in a daze, come along!" Fei De shouted to the girl for the first time, but the oldest girl was already trembling with fear, and fear completely ruled her at this moment.
The bandit behind him saw that the situation was not right, and immediately raised his bow and wanted to shoot Fid and Oried, but the two imps were in front of the bandits, so he took aim and quickly approached so as not to shoot his companion.
Seeing that the time had come, Eggsy immediately jumped down from the tree and struck the bandit with the bow, and he noticed a sharp stone in the tree, and he immediately picked up the stone and struck it hard at the crotch of the bandit's trousers!
But on the other side, Fid and Oried have been brought down by the bandits. After all, they were only two five-year-olds, and after throwing the short knife away, the bandit grabbed Fidel's hair with his left hand, and then slammed his head into Fidd's head, and after a whirlwind, Feld realized that he had been thrown a few meters away.
The girl had a chance to take the knife, but the bandits had already picked it up again and stabbed Oried, who was holding her thigh, and the knife pierced Oried's back, and the poor boy immediately fainted. Then the bandit was still angry, and he dragged Oried, who was clutching his thigh, to the edge of the cliff.
"Die!"
The bandits kicked Orid straight off the cliff, and Fidel, who was lying on the side, had no way to stop him, his forehead was already bleeding, and he was about to pass out from the pain.
"I'm going to kill you all!" the girl was already crying and running away, and Eggsy was still wrestling with the blinded bandit, and there was no one left to stop the bandit from walking towards Field.
Suddenly, a short sword was thrown from a distance, and it slashed directly through the throat of the bandit, who didn't even realize that it was Evan's subordinates who had arrived here before he died, saving the regimental commander's five-year-old son.
A darkness and pain ensued over Field's mind, and he finally saw the girl hiding in the distance, secretly looking at him, but the other person's face was blurred.
When Fidel woke up, he had forgotten a few things because of the impact on his head—including the girl's face, which he still couldn't remember.
"What happened to Eggsy and Oried?" he asked, looking at one of Uncle Evan's men standing by the bed.
"Eggsy is fine, he killed one of the bandits, but Oried..."
When Feud got better, he realized that Uncle Evan had just returned to the village when they were going up the mountain that day, and that someone had reported to Evan that someone was walking suspiciously up the mountain. Evan and his men patrolled near the foot of the mountain, while the other half of them went up the mountain, just in time for this accident, and luckily saved his nephew and his friends.
Later, the girl also left the village with her declining aristocratic father because of this incident, and Eggsy was recruited by the next village as a guard because of this incident, becoming the youngest scout, and later lost contact with Field. Feder knew that Oried died to protect himself, so he felt guilty in his heart, and he always wanted to provide some help to Oried's father, so Uncle Evan gave some money to Oried's father and let the other party start a business.
Three years later, when Fid was eight years old, Aureid's father, who had become a successful businessman, was arrested by Faulkner and beheaded. All the family property was confiscated, and Fed learned to selectively forget, forgetting the things that made him miserable.
It wasn't until he met Eggsy again today that he remembered Eggsie, Oried, and the girl, but the faces of the girl and Oried could no longer be remembered, but the scene of Oried's father's severed head reappeared in his mind like a nightmare.
