It’s very dark in winter!

It's not yet evening, but it's almost dark.

In the small village of Nisse, Mark was walking on the way home.

William lit a bonfire at some key locations in the village, giving some light to the small village of Nisse in the dark.

Mark walked forward in the dim light.

He just came back from the cowherd's house to burn the fire.

Both families have a child who serves as the captain of William's guards. The same status has given them many common topics.

However, this was something Mark never dared to imagine a few months ago.

His family is just an extremely poor household, while the cowherd's family belongs to the "upper family" in the small village of Nisse.

Although this "upper family" has always been a joke in Patras.

Looking back on the past, Mark had the illusion that he was like a dream.

If William hadn't arrived, Mark wouldn't know where their family would be?

"Thank you Lord! Thank you for your kindness!" When he thought of this, Mark couldn't help but mutter.

In fact, it was not just him. Many families in the small village of Nesse all looked grateful when they mentioned their lord William!

Especially after William led the guards to defeat the first invasion of the Lizardman, this gratitude reached a peak!

Even those wild slaves were the same. Although William turned them into slaves, he gave them full food and had a warm accommodation.

Unlike before, although they have freedom, they have difficulty in survival!

Compared with the two, wild slaves cherish their current life more!

The ground was covered with snow, and Mark stepped on it and saw a snow-white footprint, which felt soft.

The winter wind was thrilling, making Mark's teeth tremble a little!

Mark couldn't help but wrap the Fox fur coat tightly on his body.

This is his proud son, Kerry Mark once hunted in the forest.

The meat of the Fox in Folis was a bit unpalatable, but the Mark family was not picky about food and all went into the stomachs of their families.

The fox leather jacket was made by his son, and the tailor Bud made it into a leather jacket for him to protect the cold!

"What a filial son!" Mark thought with relief.

He didn't want to wear it, and wanted to use it for his son himself, but Kerry said that during the shift, the lord did not allow them to wear other clothes, and could only wear uniforms with dispensed ones.

If the offense is violated, you will have to be punished. If the offense is frequent, you will have to be punished severely and may be driven out of the guard team.

These words scared Mark and hurriedly said, "The Lord's words are important! The Lord's words are important!"

Then he half-superated and happily accepted this fox leather jacket and wore it to work the next day.

He said to everyone, "This is the leather jacket my son gave me. It's very cold."

"What? Who is my son? You don't even know who my son is?"

"Kerry! Kerry Mark! That's my son! He works for Lord Baron, and is a captain in Lord Baron's escort."

"Yes, yes, yes! Not worth mentioning! Just a small team leader! Just a small team leader! There is nothing to say!"

"Look! The one in front of the guard team standing guard is my son!"

"Yes, yes! I also think he has worked a little hard! But this is serving the Baron, this is the glory of our Mark family! No matter how hard we work, we will not complain about being tired! Besides, the safety of the village depends on them to protect! What is a little hard work!"

"Well, thank you, our respected Baron!"

"Thank God, thank you for bringing us this wise lord!"

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Mark used to be relatively silent, rarely spoke, and his face was full of wrinkles under the burden of life.

But now, he has become much more optimistic, and he talks about his son whenever he meets everyone, and his smile increases, and even the wrinkles on his face seem to have become much less.

Although many villagers felt sad, "Hmph, didn't you just become the team leader? People who don't know thought they had replaced Mr. John? What's so proud of you? It's just a lucky person! If it were my son at the beginning, Humph…"

Although I didn't agree with it, these villagers who used to look down on Mark now have to agree with the old Mark on the surface.

But that's enough, it's enough to make Mark's face shine and his heart feel so fluttering.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Although the village of Nisse has expanded a hundred times, it has wrapped all the fields of the past in the city walls.

But except for the construction of many shacks in a certain area to live in wild slaves, William did not build a large-scale house.

The villagers still live in their original huts, with almost no changes.

The small village of Nisse was so old that even if the cowherd's house was relatively far away from Mark's house, it would not take much time.

Not long after leaving the cowherd's house, Mark came to his hut.

Through the loophole, Mark saw the light inside the room.

I didn't think anything before, it was a great thing to be able to have a full meal.

But now, Mark, who had just returned from the cowherd's house, felt that his house was a little small.

The cowherd's house has three thatched huts and a cow pen, but their house only has one thatched hut, and the family of seven lives in it.

Even if his son Kerry Mark no longer lives at home, he lives together with other members of the guards in a house provided by the Lord.

But the family of six is ​​still a bit narrow in living in a thatched hut.

"After winter, it's time to expand the house. After all, the children are old, and it's time for Kerry Mark to marry his wife. Many villagers are already greeting him. It's a bit inconvenient to let him live in a house with his family." This thought arose in Mark's mind and became more and more determined.

Thinking of this, Mark pushed open the door and saw at a glance his thin wife and four children in the middle of the room, roasting a fire around a red mud stove, all with rosy faces.

Honeycomb coal burned in the red mud stove, and a pottery jar was placed on it.

The clay pot was not covered, and Mark saw some lavender meat strips boiling inside the clay pot, making a sizzling sound.

A unique scent filled the room, making Mark's stomach gulp.

He realized that he was a little hungry.

The little sweet porridge I ate at the cowherd's house had been consumed in the chat.

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew in with the wind and snow, blowing the flames in the red mud stove and running around. Mark's wife quickly shouted, "Close the door!"

"Oh!" Mark was stunned, then reacted, took a step forward, then closed the door, and then pushed it against the stone next to him.

"The lizard meat has been cooked, I'm waiting for you to come back for dinner! The children have been waiting for you for a long time!" Mark's wife said again.

"Okay!" Mark replied lightly, walking to the stove.

His child spontaneously gave him a seat.

Mark sat next to his wife.

A warm feeling came, and my whole body was warm.
Chapter completed!
