Heimarian Odyssey

Old Billy put on his formal suit that he hadn't worn in five years, and asked his wife to tie himself in a bow tie.

"Does it need to be so formal?" his wife muttered, still clinging to her hand.

"Of course it must be formal!" Old Billy's eyes widened. "This time our children in the mining town are back. My town may not represent the whole town. Welcome?"

This bow tie hasn't been worn in a long time. Old Billy remembers that the last time he wore it was when he went to the Baron Castle for a dinner a few years ago.

Tolerating his discomfort, Old Billy straightened his waist and walked out. His home is in the center of the town. He now needs to go to the town of Zhenzikou and the whole town to wait for the men in the mining town who returned from joining the army.

In the early morning, when the frost has not completely gone, the mining town has become very lively, already several times more lively than last year's Oktoberfest.

"Old Billy!" an old man in the mine town greeted with a smile.

This is just an ordinary old townsman. As for why he can call Old Billy's name directly, he can only say that the honest townspeople are not so particular.

Old Billy is also used to dealing with his townspeople in this way, which will make him think that his governance is close to the civilians.

Although he is a civilian himself.

There are only two nobles in the Kedodo, the Baron Kedoch and the Knight of Will.

"Hello, Hancock!" Old Billy responded with a smile. "How do the crops in the field look like this time?"

It is now approaching spring, and the grain prices have risen again this year. Township residents in Mining Township must grow something in winter to fill their belly.

"Don't mention it! A few acres of potatoes will be bitten by guinea pigs!" the old man said with a laugh.

"Then you have to go to Darwin's house in the town to buy some rat poison." Old Billy accepted the sentence and walked to the entrance of the village.

Darwin is currently the largest grocery store merchant in the mining town and a distant relative of Old Billy.

"Look for him to buy rat poison, and I'm going to drink the northwest wind." Hancock muttered. Darwin's miserlyness and black heart were famous in the mining town. Where did Hancock get so much money for this injustice.

Of course, Old Billy didn't hear Hancock's muttering, and he talked to his townsmen with a smile on the front.

At ten o'clock in the morning, just as the frost had just fallen, almost all the civilians under the jurisdiction of the mining town came, and the small mining town gathered nearly a thousand people at this time.

Fortunately, there are wide squares in the town, and many people ran directly to the entrance of the town to wait, which gave residents a foothold.

Old Billy had a long neck and looked out over the road outside the town.

"Why haven't you arrived yet?" Old Billy said strangely. Yesterday he received a book of flying pigeons from the baron's territory and returned to the soldiers in the mine town. It should be reasonable to arrive today.

"Are there any delays?" said Aunt Mary standing next to Old Billy.

Not only did Aunt Mary stand next to the town’s elder Billy, but the family of the four squadron leaders in the mine town all stood beside him at this time. Although the old Billy was old, but he didn’t feel old, he enveloped the four upstart families in the town. Do things handy.

"Impossible, don't all the battles be over, what else can happen." Old Billy couldn't figure it out.

"Wait, I'm not sure about it." A middle-aged woman next to him said, this is the wife of Captain Carl Squadron.

"Also, don't worry, wait again." Old Billy agreed.

Until noon, the townspeople waiting outside the town shrank, most of them went back to dinner, and the road was still endlessly flat.

Old Rock leaned against a dead tree at the mouth of the town, chewing on the white bread given by the mayor.

There was a young man close to him. He knew this guy. He was the second child of the Joshake family who used to make iron in the town. When his family joined the army, it was the weapon that the young man gave him.

"Hey, uh... lad, don't you need to take care of the blacksmith's house, are you here to wait for your father?" Old Locke had nothing to say, he had just wanted to call the young man's name, but it came to his mouth. He even forgot his name.

"Yes, uncle, I will wait for my father." The young man nodded politely, and then said, "My brother is here in the blacksmith shop."

I talked like this when I was young and old. The young man was no more than a few years older than Locke. Old Locke chatted and talked as if I remembered that before, Little Locke stood in front of him and talked to him like this, even sticking. He, let him carry.

The chatty and nonchalant chat made Old Locke miss his son, his only bloodline.

"Yeah, the shovel in your house is of good quality. I bought it now and still use it..." When old Locke nodded to match something, he found that the young man no longer ignored him, but turned his head and stared blankly. The road in the distance.

Not only this young man, but Old Rock found that everyone around looked at the direction of the road outside the town.

With a gurgling sound in his heart, Old Locke guessed what he had turned around and looked suddenly.

On the horizon of the road outside the town, a squad of hoops hoops appeared, followed by brigade infantry.

Although he hasn’t seen his son for six years, Old Locke looked at the leading knight at a glance. The strange feeling of blood connection made Old Locke sure that it was his son, Locke.

Locke was very depressed, because they should have arrived in the mining town in the morning, but they went in the wrong direction and went in a big circle. They finally joined the infantry and their uncle Joshak and returned together.

However, this depression, the moment when Locke saw his relatives, the smoke disappeared.

All the soldiers rushed in front of their loved ones outside the town, especially the infantry. They ran faster than their cavalry. The townspeople in the mining town also boiled, heading towards the soldiers, looking for their children, Husband, brother.

Locke wore a bright yellow armor different from other soldiers, supported a long sword around his waist, rode on a horse, and slowly walked in front of his parents and sister...

Today's mining town is destined to be a very lively day.

In the evening, a grand bonfire party was held in the middle of the town. I haven't seen my relatives in a few years. All the soldiers put down their indifferent masks on the battlefield. They were a little excited, and even cried and cried while holding their relatives on the spot.

"Little Locke is so big in a blink of an eye." Aunt Mary smiled, her family was next to the old Locke family.

Locke touched his hair awkwardly. When he was a kid, he did not mess with Aunt Mary. The village was notoriously spicy.

Hans and Hank were also not far away at this time. Hans was chatting with his dad, while Hank and Kane got together and didn't know what to mutter.

"Look, I'm right, Brother Rock's sister is a rare beauty in the village!" Hank patted his chest and pointed to Leah, not far away, to introduce to Kane as if to introduce his sister same.

Leah, standing quietly on the side, looked at her younger brother like a beautiful water lily.

Because Kane was helpless, he returned to Kaiduo and was led by Rock and Hans to return to the mine town with them. As brothers, Rock and Hans also wanted Kane to feel the warmth of their home. They 'S home is Kane's home.

But at this time, Kane, the warmth of his family, hadn't felt it. His soul didn't know where he was hooked, and he looked at Leah for a moment.

Hank also noticed that Kane had something wrong. "Brother, won't you, really fancy it?" Hank has also been under Kane's for a few months. When he saw Kane showing this expression, he cried in surprise. Road.

"Shut up!" Kane grabbed Hank's mouth, pulled him aside, and asked Lia carefully.

"Sister Lia, is a very virtuous woman, and should be the most beautiful person in our village." Hank probably said.

"What about her personality? How about her personality?" Kane asked.

Hank found that Kane’s serious expression didn’t seem to be a joke, “Big Brother, you go to Brother Locke and ask, he must know his sister best.” Hank hurried away, he had too many friends with Kane Yu mentoring.

Not that he was unwilling to help Kane to provide information, but he knew that the neighbor Lia, a beautiful neighbor, had continuously rejected the relatives who didn't know how many households. First, he didn't want to let Kane hit the wall, and second, he didn't want to trouble Leah.

As soon as Hank ran, Kane could only look at Leah's idiot from afar, "Brother Locke is not handsome, how can his sister be so beautiful." Kane was very moved.

Fortunately, Locke didn't hear this, otherwise he would definitely make him full.

On the other side, Joshak is standing with the town elder Billy to greet him. One is the most important officer in the town, and the other is the most prestigious among the soldiers. After the war is over, the cooperation between the two will be indispensable in the mining town.

And Karl is with his wife. From the usual chat, Locke knows that Uncle Carl and his wife have no children, but the relationship between the husband and wife has been very good. Before joining the army, Uncle Karl was an orion in the town, and his wife was only one. An ordinary peasant woman.

Uncle Carl lost an arm on the battlefield. He did not pass it back to the town before. He was worried about his wife knowing it. Now that the people are back, everything can’t be covered. Uncle Carl’s wife is only in tears. Grasp Uncle Carl's sleeve without arms.

The evening bonfire was very lively. Every family took out their own food spontaneously, and the soldiers who returned from joining the army, the soldiers also took out all kinds of specialty products they brought back along the way, Charlotte's food. There are many things that are very different from Forstan, and the townspeople are curious about this uneaten food.

In addition, almost every soldier who came back carried a few pounds of meat in the waist. Almost every soldier who joined the army for more than two years was able to practice good hunting skills. Although the mountainous forests of Del Province are still winter, but There are also a lot of animals that come out to forage in early spring.

There is meat and bread, but how can we lack the wine, in addition to the soldiers’ private possession, the old Billy also removed all the remaining wine from the Oktoberfest last year, it seems to make the people of the whole town not drunk .

Of course this is impossible.

It wasn't until late at night that the enthusiasm for returning home gradually faded. Taking advantage of the night, all households either returned to their villages or went to the town to deal with one night and waited the next day before returning home.

"Fix one week, and gather at the town square on the eighth day!" After Uncle Joshak issued an order, he no longer managed scattered soldiers.

Although the war was over, the soldiers were not able to easily dismantle and return to the field. There are many tasks that belong to them-
