Chapter 62

In a dilapidated house in Hayin,
A half-grown child wearing a felt hat was lying pitifully on the window sill, staring straight at a few pirates not far away who were laughing and cursing loudly as they tore lamb legs.
He still clearly remembered that two weeks ago the owner of that leg of lamb was still eating hay leisurely in his family's sheep pen.

"Mom, when will they leave?"

The child looked back expectantly at the woman sitting at the square table mending clothes. This woman looked about 40 to [-] years old, with a sallow complexion and dull skin. There was a thick layer of pimples on the skinny palms with thick knuckles. Callous, it seems that he was also a diligent person who worked frequently.

"Should be soon? After all, they've been here for many days." The woman's voice was hoarse but still gentle.

"How fast is that?" the child asked reluctantly.

"At least a few more days?" the woman asked uncertainly.

"A few days!? But I'm so hungry." The child touched his shriveled belly, and looked at his mother with a mournful face.

"Are you hungry? Mom, there is a piece of black bread that I hid before. Let's eat some first! After the pirates leave, your dad and I will go fishing." As she said this, the woman took out a shabby old bread from nowhere. The gray cloth bag was peeled off layer by layer, revealing a small piece of dirty black bread.

There was a layer of white velvet on the surface of the black bread, which seemed to have gone bad due to poor preservation. When this piece of black bread appeared in front of two people, one large and one small.
"Gollum!"

The woman swallowed a mouthful of spit almost at the same time as his child.

The two looked at the fist-sized piece of black bread in silence, both of them understood that this was the only ration left in the family, and after a long time she finally spoke:
"Eat! My child"

The half-child, looked at the withered woman in front of him, then at the small piece of almost moldy bread in her hand, and finally shook his head stubbornly: "I'm not hungry..., the group of pirates recently It’s getting stricter, catching voles is banned, yes! I haven’t seen my father for a long time, where is he going? If he is here, there will be a way.”

There was hope in the child's eyes.

"He...he went to find someone who can save us"

at the same time
In the wilderness outside the city of Tiha, a ragged man walked alone on the path leading to Tiha. He looked haggard, his hair was messy, and there was an arrow wound on his shoulder, but it seemed that he had undergone rough treatment. was broken
This desolate man seemed to have a sudden feeling in his heart, and he looked back at the direction he came from—the black smoke column, like a dark cloud that had completely covered the village.

he turned his head
The huge black silhouette of Tihana looms
"wait for me!"

Gritting his teeth, the man silently spit out three words in his heart, and went straight to Tiha.

Tihar Gate
The two guards guarding the city yawned boredly. Ever since those fat men with keen information heard that the nearby village of Hain was occupied by a group of pirates, they have been huddled in Tiha and could not go out.However, in this way, their income will be virtually reduced. Without gold coins, these guys will naturally not be able to work hard.
Leaning crookedly against the solid wall near the city gate, with the spear in his hand stuck upside down in the soft ground under his feet, he chatted with each other
"Hey! Did I say brother went to the tavern recently?"

"Of course I did! You don't even think about who I am? What if you don't drink for a day?"

"I heard that the proprietress there is very beautiful! Have you seen it?"

"Lady boss? How can you be considered beautiful with your vision? I'm not afraid to tell you that a beautiful woman came to Tiha recently, you know, right?"

"You mean Baron 'Rose' Lilith?"

Seeing this scene, the guard pretended to be mysterious and winked:
"Let me tell you! I met Lady Lilith in the tavern the day before yesterday! Moreover, Lady Lilith didn't even wear a helmet. I was sitting at the next table and I was able to catch a glimpse of her beauty. It's so beautiful not to lie to you!"

"Haha! It's a pity, it's a pity. I am a baron of the second class of military honors! With a status like yours, you will never be able to reach such a high level in this life."

"Ahem! I didn't think about it! Wait for the business to come!"

Halfway through his words, the guard suddenly saw a figure walking slowly in the distance.
Another guard saw someone following the gaze of the other party, and quickly pulled out the spear on the ground to cooperate with the previous guard to block the city gate:

"Who? Stop!"

The man stopped, and the two guards began to look at the down-and-out guy.This guy is quite strong, with dark skin and a bearded face that has not been taken care of for a long time, and the guards also found an arrow that broke in the middle and was stuck in his shoulder.
"Brother, I'm a villager from Hayin, our village has been occupied by pirates! Let me in quickly, I'm here to ask the lord for help."

As soon as the two guards exchanged colors, one of them came up and kicked the man's lower abdomen: "Brother? Fuck you! Who is your brother? I don't have a brother like you. If you want to go in, you must pay 5 silver coins first!"

The guard was wearing thick leather boots, and this kick was very powerful.

The down-and-out man was also stubborn, and he took a few steps back after being kicked by this kick, but he didn't fall down.He was originally at sea to make a living. He went to sea today and didn't know if he would come back tomorrow. Being kicked by this kick made him a little bit bloody, his eyes turned red and he clenched his fists to make a move.
But when he thought of his wife and children still trapped in the village, he let go of his strength and endured it, and said in a low voice:

"Brothers, I really don't have any money with me. If you don't believe me, you can search it. Let me in! It's really urgent."

The guard who hit the man earlier gave the other a wink, and the other came up and searched the man carefully, then shook his head at his companion..
No?The guard looked the man in front of him up and down, and he was inexplicably angry: "No money! How dare you come here to amuse your uncle? I will kill you!"

Speaking of holding the spear backwards as a stick, aiming at the opponent's head is a stick.

Blood
From the forehead, through the gully of the man's face, it converges into a stream
He stuck out his tongue and licked it.
Salty, with some irony smell.

Is this anger?The man suddenly felt a surge of power in his heart, which perfused his whole body with the beating of the heart.
Rising. The blood seems to increase suddenly, and the blood vessels on the body are all bursting up, which looks extremely scary.

The desolate man stood there with blood dripping from his forehead. He looked like a cooked prawn, with blue veins popping out all over his body. The green blood vessels on his body were like little snakes, closing and opening with the beating of his heart.

"He" the guard watched in surprise at the changes that had taken place in the man in front of him.

"Chop Suey! Go to hell!"

With a roar, the man swung his fist to hit the guard's head, and the moment he swung his fist, he began to congest and turn red.
"Bang! Kacha!"

The guard was still holding the spear backwards in his hand, so he had no time to react, and was hit by the man on the front door. With a crisp bone crack, his entire head exploded like a watermelon, blasting into a cloud of blood.
"This is--blood madness!?." The other person ran away when he saw this situation. Fortunately, the downcast man at this time seemed to be insane and did not catch up
After the guard ran away, the bloody guy looked at the red and white ones in his hands in confusion, and walked towards the city of Tiha with a murmur.
"Shower."
