Lord Highlander

  Chapter 220 219. The troubles of life

  Suldak was slightly taken aback.

Old Sheila stared at Suldak with a scrutinizing gaze, and pretended to be indifferent and said: "Sleep well, go to the river bend tomorrow and come back to cut some red thatch, and re-pave the red thatch on the roof. It has been leaking for some time. A few days ago, the river bay flooded and drowned people. I didn’t let Rita go there again. Now the water level should recede. If you want to continue living at home, you have to learn to work. It’s impossible to keep an idler at home all the time…”

   After finishing speaking, he wanted to take little Peter from Suldak's arms, but little Peter stayed in Suldak's arms and refused to leave no matter what.

"You...agree for me to stay?" Suldak still didn't understand who changed the old Sheila's mind. It seemed that the old Sheila was going to try to accept herself. For some reason, Suldak unexpectedly I was moved a little bit.

  Old Sheila turned around and walked back. He quickly picked up little Peter and chased after him in a few strides, without even noticing that his steps became much lighter.

   "No one wants to drive you away, they are just worried that you won't be able to survive the hard life in the countryside." Old Sheila's voice was still a little cold, but it was somewhat calmer than yesterday.

  Suldak followed behind old Sheila, looked at her staggering back, and said confidently:

   "Sheila, I will make your life better."

  Old Sheila's footsteps paused, she didn't turn her head, but said:

   "I want to hear about Duck, tell me more when you have time... You promised Duck to take care of little Peter?"

  Suldak gently held little Peter's immature hand. Seeing little Peter was like going back in time and seeing Suldak's childhood.

   "That's right, that's right!" Suldak even expected little Peter to grow up quickly.

Old Sheila stopped, turned around and looked at Suldak, with pleading eyes in her eyes, and said to Suldak: "Then can you teach him some sword skills? After he becomes an adult, he will go to the battlefield sooner or later. It will definitely come in handy in the future.”

Suldak thought for a while, and readily agreed: "Of course it's no problem, but I only know some basic sword skills, so I can only give some basic skills to little Peter. I'm afraid I have to go to Zhanzheng College for more advanced sword skills. For studying, I can ask someone to write a letter of recommendation, and when little Peter is older, I will send him to Zhanzheng Academy to receive systematic studies in the academy."

   "Are you willing to send little Peter to Zhanzheng College?" Old Sheila's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to ask.

  She even lost the restraint she had always maintained, and she could see the longing in her eyes.

  Suldak didn't expect that what could touch the heart of old Sheila was to promise to send little Peter to Zhanzheng Academy, so he immediately said:

"Of course I have to send Peter to the War College. If he performs well enough in the college, I can also let him study in the Advanced War College. Students who graduate from the Advanced War College can at least start as a non-commissioned officer in the army. There is no need to worry about it." Into the new barracks (cannon fodder battalion)."

  Old Sheila's stone house was not far from the place where the mutton soup was drunk. Before entering the yard, she saw the ancient Bolai horse gnawing on the grass with its head down, and Rita disappeared in a flash.

  Suldak followed old Sheila into the yard, but saw Rita walking out of a hut next to the stone house with a handle. It seemed that she was cleaning the stone house just now.

Suldak originally thought that the hut was prepared for himself, but he didn't expect the old Sheila to go to the hut with air leaks and even a big hole in the roof to take a look, then glared at Rita who hesitated to speak, and then Take Suldak into the stone house, lead Suldak into her room again, and then say to Suldak lightly:

   "You can sleep here for now, the room is too small, I can only wrong you..."

   After finishing speaking, he hunched his body and walked out of the stone house silently, and walked into the leaky room next to the stone house alone.

It seems that the house should be a simple wood house. Surdak only lived here for one night, and he has already figured out the situation here. The middle room of this stone house is a small living room and kitchen. Each has a small bedroom. Usually, old Sheila and Rita sleep in a room, and Natasha and Peter sleep in a room. If it is true that Suldak returns, then Suldak will sleep with Natasha One or two rooms are of course just enough.

But not now, Suldak needs to live alone, but there are only two rooms in the house, so old Sheila decided to give up her room, and she moved to the almost roofless room next to the bathroom on the side of the stone house. Go live in the woodshed.

How could Suldak let old Sheila live in the firewood house? He rushed a few steps ahead of old Sheila, got into the woodshed with a mild musty smell, and saw that there was simply a bed built with wooden boards in the firewood house , with only a layer of worn linen sheets on it, it was only then that Suldak felt more clearly how poor the family usually lived.

"Let me live here. When I was on the battlefield, I couldn't sleep because I couldn't see the stars every night..." Suldak said to the old Sheila. Pulled out a sleeping bag sewn from the skin of a red-eyed hyena from the magic pocket, and said to old Sheila, "When we were in the army camp, we usually slept in this."

Seeing that Suldak insisted on this, old Sheila didn't argue about it. Anyway, the bedroom in the stone house is not much more comfortable than the wood house, so she had to say to Suldak: "There is a bathroom next to it. If you can't sleep, you can wash it." Take a shower and sleep."

Not only did Suldak not have a good rest in the past two days, he even failed to do the most basic washing. He had ridden a horse all day the day before, and he had a duel with people this morning, and he participated in the village Surdak felt that his whole body was covered with sour-smelling grease. If he didn’t take a bath, he might not be able to sleep. Seeing that old Sheila agreed with him to use the bathroom, he prepared to take a good bath. bath.

  Little Peter heard that Suldak would not leave, and excitedly wanted to take a bath and sleep with Suldak.

If there is anything valuable in the Suldak family, it may be the iron pot in the kitchen and the wooden bucket in the bathroom. Then he stripped the little mud monkey-like Peter naked, threw himself into the barrel together and took a bath.

   While taking a bath, he took out the only piece of buttered bread and a small half of bacon sausage from his magic pocket, placed them on a wooden board, and cut them into delicate slices with a dagger for little Peter to eat.

  Little Peter ate only two slices, then licked his tongue, and refused to take another bite no matter what.

   Seeing his poor mouth drooling, even closing his eyes and refusing to eat more, Suldak asked him if the buttered bread and smoked sausage were not to his liking.

   "I just want to save some for my grandmother, mother, and aunt. They probably haven't eaten these delicious things!" Little Peter blinked his big clear eyes and said in a childish voice.

  Suldak felt a sense of sourness rushing from the soles of his feet to his heart at this moment, and he couldn't help but hugged little Peter tightly.

  As if the softest part of his heart was touched, Suldak smiled and said to Little Peter: "Next time I will definitely bring back a little more for Little Peter."

   "Well, I like this soft bread, it's so sweet!" Little Peter thinks this is a very important matter, and he must make it clear to Suldak that you can buy more butter bread...
