The Mine Town at night was silent, except for one place, the square in the center of the town. At this time, the bonfires were all over the sky, and almost all the people in Mine Town and the villages under the jurisdiction of Mine Town came here to participate in the annual Oktoberfest.

"Today we are gathered here, and I wish our next year will be even better!" The town elder Billy started his routine speech, which in his opinion is the most important part of the year.

"Although our children and your husbands may still be fighting on the front lines at this time, everyone in our mining town will protect them!" Old Billy was indeed the mayor who has been the mayor for decades. His words are straightforward, and it is easy to incite the emotions of the townspeople. At least everyone in the square is now reminded of their loved ones by him.

"This year, our mining town has overcome many difficulties." Old Billy is still speaking, but the following people have not listened to him much, because the most important part has already been said, and the next thing is to talk about old Billy As the mayor, how many contributions and achievements have been made this year. Many civilians have limited cultural level, such as the Locke family. Locke may have known a few words on the front line. The vast majority of the remaining people simply cannot understand what old Billy is talking about. Those mineral increases and economic changes. Good words, honest commoners can't understand them, let alone them, even old Billy may not know what he's talking about, his rhetoric was given to him by the town administrator, the administrator is a baron The administrators assigned to each town are of lower rank than the mayor, but they belong to the baron, and Old Billy dare not offend him.

Around the bonfire, except for some of the more honest commoners who were listening to Old Billy's bible, the rest of the people started their own carnival. Those who drink, drink, and those who eat bread, eat bread. Today's beer is free, and bread costs money, but very little, just a few copper dels, which is a once-a-year perk for most people who can't get enough to eat. Savvy businessmen began to sell their own products. Although the stores in the entire mining town closed and closed down, there were always one or two people who persisted, and this annual beer festival was the best time for them to make money. .

At this time, Old Locke was drinking and bragging with people he knew in town with a glass of beer. The object of his bragging was his son who had become a team captain. All around him were a bunch of honest ordinary people, the team captain. In their opinion, it is indeed not a small role anymore, and it is worth fawning on by these people. There are even many people who take this opportunity to propose marriage. Even if Little Locke hasn't come back, at least the marriage can be arranged.

Although Old Locke is honest, he is not stupid. Of course, he cannot respond casually. Moreover, his daughter and wife are beside him. How can he handle the important life affairs of his son casually. The businessmen don’t pay much attention to Old Locke, the squad leader. This level is only on the same level as the leader of the garrison squad in the town. In a big way, it is at the same level as the village chief. Moreover, it is in charge of military affairs. They are comparable in appearance, and the merchants are highly profitable. It is not known whether the son of Old Locke can come back alive from the battlefield. Because the merchants have money and their status is higher than that of ordinary people, they do not care about the father of a captain.

And the officials in the higher-ranking towns, such as the clerk, the tax officer, the treasurer, and the captains of the garrison, looked down on a mere squad leader. Why would they value a squad leader who was lower than themselves?

Of course, this is only the idea of ​​some people, and there are also many people looking for old Locke to greet him. For example, an official who manages Linmu in the town. This official who manages Linmu is a person with exquisite face and face. No one can be offended. He has friendship with everyone and has a good reputation. Old Locke was flattered and toasted a glass of wine, and Officer Lin Mu talked casually, which made Old Locke drunk earlier. The town of Mine is not big or small. It is said that there are only five or six team leaders from the town. The family members of these five or six people are at least more noble than the more than 90% of the people who are currently present, and they have one more friendship. It doesn't cost much, Guan Lin thinks so.

Later, even the mayor's family sent a relative to find Old Locke to toast a glass of wine. There are smart people everywhere, especially these old fritters who have been around for so many years.

Faustin is located in the southwest, which is different from the east-side Charlot, which is rich in ale. More people here drink beer. The cost of beer is lower than that of ale, and most people can drink it. wide.

The night of the Oktoberfest was deep and beautiful, and the little mining town had another great night.

The next morning, the people lying on the ground in the center of the square were woken up by the cold wind. Although there was beer to warm their stomachs, and although the bonfire burned all night, it was late autumn after all, and no one in good health could hold it. Old Locke was blown by the cold wind, and his back hurt again. He opened his hazy eyes and walked into the town.

Mother and daughter Tia and Leah stayed at a relative's house in the town last night, and they couldn't stand the cold wind all night. As Old Locke was walking on the road, he thought of his own fields again. The working people were like this, except for three meals a day and the shortness of their parents, all they thought about was one-third of their own land.

With the enthusiasm of this distant relative in the town, the old Locke family of three walked to the mouth of the town, ready to go home. The town of Mine is very small. Basically, every family in the three generations may have some relatives. Old Locke is now the only seedling, and Tia has a few sisters and brothers, but they are all very weak. No one looks down on this relative who married into the countryside. Ping Zigui, Locke has made a name for herself in the army, and she is also a mother. Those who looked down on her before, now talk to her less casually. Although Tia is very uncomfortable, she feels very it is good.

Walking to the mouth of the town, Old Locke talked about his land again, wondering if the guinea pigs that were driven away yesterday would come back today to steal his rice potatoes. Tia, on the other hand, was holding dozens of copper dels in her arms and kept touching it.

Hold on, these are what she earned from selling eggs last night. She plans to pull two pieces of cloth for her daughter to make a new dress for the New Year. Her daughter has suffered from taking care of their husband and wife all these years. daughter.

Leah was supporting her parents. Old Locke's face was still flushed, and at first glance he knew that he drank too much last night. Although Tia was holding a headscarf and wearing thick linen clothes, she was still shivering from the cold. After all, the two are old, and Leah has to worry a lot.

The three of them walked to the entrance of the town, and a black horse team like a dragon came in the distance. The bell Ding Ling was hanging around the horse's neck was ringing. Those who were familiar with the sound knew that it was the baron's caravan. Come back. !

Old Locke and his party saw that, yes, there is no need to go back today.
