I Will Be the Son of Man

Chapter 040: The Celebration Monster Comes (Two in One)

In front of the hut, Regulus organized the children to line up, passing the water source non-stop, suppressing the spread of the fire.

(③42967465)

After waiting anxiously, a figure finally emerged from the black smoke.

Hill held Sasha, who was unconscious, with both hands, and a little girl was hanging around her neck. The moment she just walked out of the gate, she couldn't hold on and squatted down.

"Good weight......"

Because his physical condition was not as good as before, Hill felt a little strenuous just with the weight of two people hanging on his body.

And Regulus, who had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hill and the others successfully come out of the hut, saw that Hill suddenly looked like he was about to collapse, and thought there was something wrong with the other party.

But after hearing Hill's self-talk, Regulus couldn't help but smiled wryly, but he was completely relieved.

......

The fire in the hut has been put out, but it is clear that it is no longer inhabitable.

What's more, the rebellion has not stopped yet, and those rebels just haven't set their sights on their area.

"Grandma, what should we do next?"

Regulus looked at the ruined home, with confusion in his eyes.

"Oh... let's leave Athens first."

"In another small city-state nearby, there is an acquaintance of mine. He is a priest and should be able to help us."

Grandma Agatha leaned on her crutches and sighed, but said nothing more.

After all, she has seen too many things in her life, as long as these children are still alive, she will be satisfied.

"Look at what's left in the house, take the useful ones first, and don't worry about the ones that have been burned."

After leaving such a sentence, Grandma Agatha walked slowly, preparing to prepare for her departure.

"Are we leaving..."

The faces of the children were more or less perplexed and reluctant. After all, this is also the place where they grew up, and they did not expect to leave in such a way now.

"Okay, everyone, let's go and see if there is anything else that can be used. But remember to be safe."

"Regurus, remember to look after your brothers and sisters."

Sasha was the first to stand up and drive away the sad atmosphere from the children.

However, after all the children left, she fell into silence alone.

"Sasha?"

Seeing a face suddenly approaching in front of her with black soot on her nose, Sasha was startled subconsciously, but immediately after she realized it, because of Hill's face at this moment, she pouted. A laugh came out.

"Thank you, Hill. If you hadn't come back in time, the kid and I might have been trapped inside."

He remembered that in the hut filled with smoke, although he found the child, he was trapped by the fire and smoke, and when he was at a loss, the other party rushed in from the outside.

Although the way of hugging oneself is a bit uncomfortable, but in the end, everything is safe, which is already the best result.

Sasha took out the handkerchief she carried with her and wiped the black mark on Hill's nose.

However, in the middle of wiping, Sasha suddenly remembered something.

"Sill, where are you going after this?"

That's right, originally, because of Hill's physical problems, the other party would stay at the hut.

But right now, the hut is gone, Athens has also begun to turmoil, and Hill's body has the ability to move independently.

Therefore, it is obvious that the other party can choose to leave at any time.

"Where to go?"

Hill frowned and thought for a while. According to his original plan, he should have returned to the forest hut in Arcadia to visit Atalanta.

But judging from the current situation, the "gratitude" he owed to Sasha has not yet been repaid.And for some reason, Hill always felt a little uncomfortable if he just left the group of children and left.

"I'll go with you."

Hearing the unexpected but expected answer from the other party, Sasha couldn't help smiling, then looked at Hill and said.

"Thank you, Hill."

"Why, thank me?"

Not understanding what the other party's sudden thanks meant, Hill blinked his eyes in confusion.

"Why? I don't know about this either!"

Sasha chuckled lightly, then she winked at Hill mischievously, then ran to the group of children and began to tidy up the things left in the hut.

do not know......

Hill frowned as he watched the girl leave. He always felt that the other party seemed a little strange today.

******

After carrying the last child into the carriage, Hill got on the horse and prepared to leave Athens with Sasha and others.

However, they are not the only ones who have such thoughts.

At this time, the other citizens of Athens packed up their bags and planned to leave because they did not want to be affected by the rebellion.

The long procession going out of the city was advancing in an orderly manner. Hill sat in the carriage and looked at the people walking along the way or driving the carriage like them, and couldn't help but think of Uruk again.

However, a sudden scream interrupted Hill's memory.

It turned out that part of the rebel army suspected that the cronies of King Aegeus were among the fleeing crowd and were trying to control them all.

For this reason, the rebels did not hesitate to use force to try to make the citizens of Athens submit.

But after all, some young people stood up and became hostile to the rebels.

These people wanted to take their families and leave safely like this, but they didn't expect that this group of robbers refused to let them go.

Immediately, the scene developed into a brawl.

The cries of people, the neighing of horses, the sound of panicked footsteps, the interlacing of weapons...  

The scuffle immediately caused the fleeing team, which had been advancing in an orderly manner, to panic.

As for the carriage that Hill and the others were sitting in, it was difficult to move forward at once, and was blocked by the crowd.

"If this continues..."

Seeing that the battle was about to spread to the side where she and the others were, Sasha's eyes were full of worry and urgency.

"Hey! You guys seem to be street children in the city?"

At this time, a group of hunters on horses seemed to be a team. After seeing the situation of Sasha and others, they stopped and asked.

"Huh? You are..."

Grandma Agatha seemed to see a familiar face, with a slightly puzzled look on her face.

"It really is Grandma Agatha! You helped us before, don't you remember?"

The leading young hunter drove the horses forward and said kindly.

"Oh, I remembered, it turned out to be you guys..."

"That's right, it's us. But now is not the time to talk, Grandma Agatha, where are you going with these children?"

After briefly describing his purpose, the leading hunter showed a clear look.

"I understand, then, leave it to us!"

"In this situation, the carriage can't move at all. Let's take you and the children there in batches first!"

He quickly decided which people to take away first, but unexpectedly, the number was just enough, and Hill and Sasha alone couldn't be taken away by the hunters.

"Young man over there, I think you should be a hunter too. You, can you ride a horse?"

The leading hunter, carrying Grandma Agatha and the other two children, looked at Hill's outfit and asked aloud.

Thinking back to Hippolyta's appearance when driving the horse, Hill nodded.

"I can."

"That's fine, then, the girl next to you will entrust you."

"However, remember to protect her well!"

Seeming to have misunderstood the relationship between Hill and Sasha, the leading hunter made fun of him before leaving, and then led the team to leave the place of right and wrong.

"Brother Hill, Sister Sasha, we will wait for you there, be sure, come here safely!"

Seeing Regulus waving to the two of them before leaving, Sasha felt relieved for the time being, although there was still some worry in her eyes.

And this time, Hill had already pulled the horse that was pulling the carriage over, and turned on the horse neatly.

"Sasha, let's go."

Hill stretched out his hand towards Sasha and said.

Although it was his first time riding a horse, the horse under Hill was unusually well-behaved, even a little close to him.

Holding each other's hand, Sasha sat nervously on the horse. Sasha hugged Hill's waist subconsciously, looked at the ground that was suddenly much higher, and asked.

"Hill, is it really okay? Can you ride a horse with your current body?"

"No problem, although it's the first time, it's no problem."

"Huh? First time?"

Before Sasha's astonished expression could change, Hill had already driven the horse under him to run.

Can only stick to the opponent's back further, Sasha began to doubt Hill's self-confidence in her heart.

But what was unexpected was that Hill's skills were like that of a seasoned rider when manipulating the horse to walk among the crowd, and the accident that Sasha expected did not happen.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the nervousness on Sasha's face gradually receded, revealing a slightly reassuring smile.

Whoosh!

There was a faint buzzing sound in the air, and Sasha's smile froze immediately, and she let out a muffled hum.
