Chapter 125: Back home

A team of cavalry walked through the jungle trail.
"Brother Locke, how far is it?" a frizzy boy asked.
"It should be fast." Locke was fighting with two heads, and it was not clear.
This is Locke's squadron on their way home, to be precise, they belong to the cavalry squadron in the mine town.
Two days ago, they finally arrived at their battalion led by Kaiduoqi. Under the baron's assignment, each squadron was led by the squadron leader and returned to his hometown.
The members of this cavalry team are all young men from the mining town with more than ten people.
In addition to cavalry, behind them were infantry squadrons with nearly a hundred men led by Joshak, Karl and Hans.
Relying on the presence of horses, Locke and other cavalrymen distanced them from the infantry behind them, and could not wait to meet their loved ones.
"I knew I had taken a familiar journey." Locke annoyed that their cavalry happened to be a group of young people, and the age had been younger in the barracks. Locke was actually the age of more than ten people. biggest.
After so long away from home, Locke could only vaguely remember the direction of the road. As for the distance, he still has an impression.
"Let's speed up, for a day and a half at most, it must be here!" Locke said with a pat on the head.
They must have taken the right path. After serving for so many years, Locke didn't even go the wrong way. Since the road and the direction are facing, if you go on like this, you will definitely be able to go to the mine town.
Maple Leaf Village, Mine Town.
"Tia, Tia!" Aunt Mary, the loud voice in the village, woke her neighbors early in the morning.
"What's wrong, Mary?" The sleepy Tia opened the door of her yard and looked at Mary standing at the door curiously.
While squeezing her body into the yard, Mary said, "I heard that Locke and Hans are coming back. Let's go to the mine town and watch!"
In the yard, Leah was chopping wood on the side, and Mary saw "Lia, what kind of firewood is chopping, and go with the aunt!" said, pulling Leia, who was still chopping wood in her turban, and went out.
"What! They're coming back!" There was a muffled sound from the room, and old Locke randomly put on his clothes and rushed out.
"Yeah, yeah, the news just came from the town!" said Mary. "My old man has already taken the boss and the youngest with him."
"Go! Let's go too!" Without saying anything, Old Rock walked out with Tia holding each other.
At this time, Leah couldn’t care about chopping wood, but instead of immediately following Aunt Mary, she ran back to her boudoir, changed the farm clothes she was wearing, and put on her mother Tia to do it for her personally. The new coat, the turban wrapped in three thousand green silks, was untied, and the long straight beautiful hair fell like a waterfall.
"Leah! What are you still doing, hurry up, Tia and they have gone away!" Aunt Mary's urging in the yard came.
Leah returned the sentence "Just fine", and the blue and white hair bundles in the bedside drawer chose the white one.
Putting on a scarf in a hurry, Leah sorted out her clothes and ran out, took Aunt Mary's arm, and ran to the village head.
Mary didn't know what Leah was doing at first. She complained about the child's torment in the first second, and was surprised by Leah's appearance after a second.
Wearing neat new clothes, pulling off the headscarf of the rural women's head, and wearing a white hair silk scarf, Lea, plus her already good looks, Mary, a forty-year-old woman, was dumbfounded.
"Leah, you're dressing up to be amazed by the big and small guys in town!" Mary laughed.
"Oh, ma'am, don't make fun of it, let's go." Lia pushed Mary lightly, and then she ran after the old Rock and Tia without losing her speed.
Seeing how beautiful Leah is, and always being a frugal housekeeper, Mary moved her heart and said: "The boy from Hans is also back this time, and his boss is not too small. I should look for him. Good wife."
Leah was not impressed with Hans. In her eyes, Hans was the child who always followed his brother when he was a child with a snot. Hans had played with Locke since childhood.
"Yeah, Hans is coming back too. Aunt Mary, you should want to be blessed." Leah didn't know what Aunt Mary was going to say, just in line.
"Looking for a wife-in-law, you are looking for a beautiful and virtuous woman like Leah." Aunt Mary smiled with her eyes narrowed.
Leah understood the meaning of Aunt Mary this time, and politely refused, "Hans is the squadron leader, and he can definitely find a better one."
The promotion of Hans to the squadron leader was passed back to Mine Town two months ago. At that time, Otis City had not been captured.
Mary also heard Leah’s refusal, and he didn’t care. Since Locke’s promotion to the squadron leader, in the past six months, many large towns in the town have not succeeded in raising their relatives. Among them, not only married daughters, but more Leah looks beautiful and wants to be married to the old Locke family.
Without exception, they were rejected by the old Locke and Tiya. According to their statement, the daughter was still young and did not want to marry out so early.
I have been a neighbor with the Locke family for so many years. Others don’t know. Mary doesn’t know yet. It’s obviously that Leah doesn’t want to.
Most of the girls who married at the age of 16 in their village were there. Leah was 21, already an old girl. Old Locke and Tiya are not in a hurry, she who is a neighbor is in a hurry. Mary no longer considered the thoughts of the old Locke, holding Leah's hand, and quickly walked towards the village entrance.
They were not the only ones who received the news. The whole village knew the news that the men who were soldiers were coming back. The families with men who were soldiers at home, today were all prepared to go to the town to meet them.
When Mary and Leah reached the village entrance, a lot of villagers had gathered here, all of them in Maple Leaf Village.
"Everyone is together? Let's go! Let's go!" On the boulder at the entrance of the village, stood a sloppy old man who was the head of Maple Leaf Village.
When the village chief waved his hand, almost all the people in the village rushed to the town, which was several times more lively than going to the market.
A century-old maple tree next to the boulder in the village entrance, withered leaves falling with the wind, a little green revealing new shoots.
At night, by the campfire, a dozen soldiers in Fustan uniforms sat around roasting food.
One of the gray-haired young people sat in the center, and the other soldiers around him were headed by this young man.
"I know this forest!" the young man roasting the hare said suddenly.
This statement caught the attention of other soldiers around him. "Brother Locke, where is this?" the soldiers who approached Locke asked.
"This seems to be the Wuli forest outside the mining town," Locke replied. "When I came out of the mining town, it was also the forest passing by."
When Locke said this, the surrounding soldiers suddenly realized that most of them also went out to fight from six years ago.
"It seems to be true!" the soldier who spoke before shouted.
"Yes, it's almost here," Locke said. "It is estimated that I can go to the mine town tomorrow!"
The soldiers all smiled when they heard it, and everyone could not wait to see their loved ones.
"Where have they been about Captain Sark?" Locke asked a soldier beside him.
The soldier thought for a while and replied, "Team Captain Joshak, they are not far from us, and at most half a day's journey, they can also go to the mine town tomorrow."
Locke was relieved when he heard it. It seems that the soldiers led by Uncle Joshak are also eager to think about their homes. They are not much worse than the speed of their cavalry. They are only half a day away.
Two days ago, since the baron issued an order to disperse back to his hometown, each soldier was led by his squadron leader, and exerted all his strength to rush off.
The four daughters Grace and Xia Qian were placed in a town outside Baron's Castle by Locke. Unlike the Shirlow nobles who like to build their mansions in the town's main palace, the Folstein nobles are mostly keen to build forts.
Each noble's castle is a small military fortress, which may also be one of the reasons why Fostein has been strong for centuries.
The town outside Baron’s Castle is not much worse than a small city in Charlotte. Locke gave Xia Qian a large sum of money to let them stay in the hotel temporarily. By the way, I also asked the soldiers living in that town to help look after it.
Most of the soldiers of the Cavalry Squadron lived in a town outside Baron’s Castle. The four daughters of Xia Qian lived there, and they were considered to be staying at Locke’s home. If they have an unobtrusive role, I believe that the soldiers will be well entertained. .
The reason why they are not brought on the one is that Locke cannot explain the origin of the four girls, and the other is that they do not know how to introduce the four girls to their parents.
Now there are few people in Falstein who are fond of the Charlotte people. I don’t know how many Fulstein’s families are broken by the war with Charlotte. Locke has made repeated orders to emphasize that several women should not reveal their nationality.
The hare tumbling over the bonfire, "Baha Laa" grease dripped into the fire, and a fragrance came out.
The roast was almost done. Locke blew it, biting on it, and it was cool. The hare in his hometown was also better than Charlotte's, Locke thought.
The surrounding forest is not large, only two or three miles away. Standing on a high place, you can even take a look at the four sides of the forest.
But it is such a small forest that constitutes a complete ecosystem. Locke's cavalry supper in this line was obtained from this forest, and the dry food he brought was untouched.
Why eat bite bread if you can eat meat?
Although there are a lot of game, Locke didn't notice the traces of demonized creatures, even the slightest element fluctuations were not felt, let alone demonized creatures, this forest has no magic plants.
It seems that only places like Morpheus Forest or Bering Mountains can see demonized creatures and even Warcraft everywhere.
Swallowing the last bite of rabbit meat, Locke yelled, "Rest after eating and rest in place, Rusco, it's your two vigil, let's go home tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Locke's words received responses from all soldiers--
Yesterday, my collection only increased by one, and my mentality exploded~
