Chapter 138 Gold Coins and Friends (Fourth Update)

Pompeii Village No. 1.

The wooden walls stand tall, and there are two watchtowers at the entrance of the village. In the past, there were always two militiamen stationed on the watchtowers, but now there is no one.

Inside the walls are two-story wooden houses with scattered patterns, and the sounds of chickens and dogs are heard one after another.

At this time, there are few voices in the village, only very old people who can hardly walk, and children who walk unsteadily.

The young and strong people, the strong old people, and the half-grown children all went to the farmland to harvest crops.

The crops in Pompeii Village No. 1 this year were planned by the city hall. Most of the people planted wheat, and the rest planted rapeseed. No matter what they planted, this year is a big harvest.

An old man sat in front of a wooden house in the village. This old man really couldn't get any older. It seemed that he couldn't walk a few steps, but his eyes were still bright and energetic.

The old man was called Mu Tou, because his father was a lumberjack, so he gave him such a name.

As for civilians, it doesn't matter what you call them.

Like everyone in Pompeii Village No. 1, the old man is not from Pompeii. He originally lived in the territory of the Marquis of Parker.

A few years ago, the old man and his son lost their land and gradually became poor and almost couldn't survive. Fortunately, they learned that Pompeii was recruiting farmers, so they came to this land.

At first, the old man and his son actually had some doubts. After all, the territory of Pompeii was rooted in the endless deep forest, which was too dangerous.

The Pompeii family seemed to be just a family of knight lords. Such families were generally not strong and could not protect the territory.

But they really couldn't live, so the old man and his son had no choice but to migrate here with their whole family.

But this year's harvest told the old man that this decision was right. The old man has been farming for a lifetime, and he has never seen such a big harvest.

And Pompeii is not as weak as imagined. In order to give the village a little resistance, Pompeii recruited militia from the villagers.

It is said that there are no less than fifteen active knights in Pompeii.

The lord is also a senior knight, and the Knight-General, Knight Stone, is a mid-level knight.

And he did something big not long ago.

As the publicity work of the City Hall progressed, the people in the territory knew that the Pompeii family had wiped out the Autumn Wind Bandits, and that Old Sol was a senior knight.

This is really exciting news.

It boosted the morale of all those who feared the various monsters and terrible monsters in the endless forest, and made them feel fearless.

Senior knights are the main fighting force even in a large territory.

In addition, the financial strength shown by the Pompeii family in conjunction with the Sabertooth Tiger Mercenary Group to wipe out the Autumn Wind Bandits.

The reputation of the Pompeii family in the territory has risen by more than one level. Let’s not talk about the natives, because the natives have always respected the Pompeii family.

And the new farmers and serfs also have a sense of cohesion with the Pompeii family.

"Pompeii is really a great surname." The old man looked at the clouds in the sky and said with a smile.

"Grandpa!"

Just then, two little boys came running over. The little boy who spoke was very ordinary, with blond hair, and was the grandson of the old man.

His name was Jinbi.

The other one was a child of a serf family, who originally had no name, and was now named Amu.

Jinbi!

It was the little boy who sat in a daze by the stream at the entrance of the village when Luther first visited Village No. 1.

At that time, Jinbi was very sad, because after coming to Pompeii, Jinbi lost his friends and lost a dog named Philip on the road.

But now looking at Jinbi's smile, you know that Jinbi is very happy.

Yes, Jinbi is very happy.

As a child of a farmer, Jinbi knows what a good harvest means, which means that he will not have to go hungry in the next year, and this year's good harvest.

Jinbi can only be described in one sentence.

"A very, very big harvest."

Because Jinbi's father told Jinbi that the grain harvested this year could not even fit in the house, and when the wheat was harvested, it had to be sent to the wheat flour workshop immediately to make city wheat, most of which would be sold to the Pompeii family, and the rest would be eaten by themselves.

Because there was a year of tax exemption, there was no need to pay taxes.

Dad also promised to buy Jinbi a new piece of clothing.

With food and new clothes, Jinbi was really happy. Little boys are always carefree.

Of course, what made Jinbi even happier was that he met a new friend, Amu. The two met by chance. The original peasants in Pompeii Village No. 1 were all free people who migrated from the Marquis of Parker's territory, but later several serfs were squeezed in.

Serfs, what to say.

Jinbi felt that Amu's father and mother were both dull and looked pitiful, and Amu was also dull, but Amu looked smarter than his father and mother.

Because Jinbi often daydreams, he has no friends of the same age in the village, so he becomes good friends with Amu, who originally had no name, and he gave it to him.

"Jinbi, didn't you go to help? Why are you back?" the old man asked curiously.

"After working on the farm for a whole morning, my father asked me to take a break, so I called Amu back with me." Jinbi replied.

"You've worked so hard." The old man said with a smile.

"There are some cookies on the table, go and eat them." The old man said immediately.

"Okay."

Jinbi nodded happily, took Amu into the house, climbed onto the chair skillfully, picked up the cookies on the table and started eating.

After eating the cookies and drinking some water, Jinbi took Amu to the stream at the entrance of the village to play together.

Jinbi likes this place because he once met Knight Luther here.

"Amu, do you know? It was here that I met Knight Luther. He is a great man. The people in the territory call him "the benevolent one". He recruited us to open up the wasteland and exempted us from taxes for a year. When I grow up, I must find a way to repay this favor."

Jinbi and Amu sat on the stone in a row. Jinbi shook his short legs and gestured, looking excited.

"I want to be a knight and serve the Pompeii family." Amu said stupidly.

He is like this, stupid and stupid.

"Why?" The gold coin was stunned.

"Because knights have meat to eat every day." Amu's saliva flowed out, sucked the saliva and swallowed it, and said stupidly.

"That makes sense, become a knight." The gold coin found a new continent and said excitedly.

If it were two adults, they would definitely not think so. Fools, how could the sons of two new farmers in Pompeii become knights for no reason.

But children's ideas are not restricted.

Just like the dream of the thief Kurd and his friends when they were young, it eventually made Pompeii civilian Arnold become an intermediate knight, the thief Kurd.

In this village, the farmers who had lost their land regained their land and lived better than before.

The serfs who had no hope for generations became free people.

Miracles are happening one by one, who knows what will happen in the future?

Maybe these two little boys really became knights and started to serve the Pompeii family?

Miracles never cease, and dreams never die.
