Chapter 271

The wind season is a pleasant season.

The Lord always put the three most important activities on the harvest season, the wind season tour, the harvest celebration, and the hunting party.

In the wind season every year, the Lord will call his knights and squires, take his relatives and children, set eagles and dogs, hunt fierce beasts in the territory, cultivate the courage and wisdom of future generations, show off his force, and fully enjoy this annual entertainment.

After the Lord's hunting, it's time for the leaders to revel.

Under the organization of the village head, all active villagers, men, women, old and young, will jump outside the village. Strong men picked up bows, arrows and spears and hunted more docile animals. Women and children were busy collecting all kinds of nuts and wild vegetables, and then carried them home in baskets. As for those particularly powerful beasts, don't worry. The Lord has cleaned them up. The slightly fierce wild boar is also the prey of men. During this time, as long as some game is symbolically handed over as a sacrifice, the vast majority of the harvest belongs to the Lingmin individual. How can men do without a little strength?

In general, the Lord will give the wild resources to the people in the wind season to help them through the cold water season, which has been a tradition for thousands of years. It is for this reason that the leading people usually keep a close eye on the wild resources around the village, guard against wandering monsters, and are especially hostile to the refugees who steal mining and hunting, and even call them bandits. However, the impoverished and decadent lords and pioneering Lords will not be so generous. Every chestnut is good for them. If such masters are spread, the Lingmin can only admit bad luck.

Randall collar is a pioneer collar. Last year, the Lord also received all kinds of nuts and game in the warehouse, but this year's situation is different.

The village head publicly announced that 80% of the collection harvest this year can be reserved for leading families, 60% for families building houses, 30% for private plots and 20% for migrant workers. Therefore, all families happily devote themselves to the collection activities.

Randall leader is indeed a pioneer leader. The Lord has never organized a hunting party, but no one will worry about their own safety. Here, there are no wild animals, no monsters, and even wild boars. Even seven or eight year old children can experience the joy of collecting game. In groups, carrying small back baskets, they searched everywhere for nuts and mushrooms in the forest land. If they found the hamster's storage room, with a shovel, hazelnuts, chestnuts, pinecones, hemp shells, and many unnamed nuts would flow out, and their small back baskets would be full. Of course, the fat hamsters could not run away. As long as they hear the children's cheers, women and the elderly will know that the little guys have harvested again, but they don't have time to help. The wealth of mountains and fields can't be picked up at all. Inedible acorns can be pressed for oil and fed to pigs. Red Seabuckthorn fruits are sweet and sour. Many seemingly useless plants are precious spices and liver fungus known as mountain treasure, And all kinds of herbs. If it had been before, these things would have been ruined by wild boars, but now these wealth can be seen everywhere, readily available, waiting for them to pick. The men in charge of hunting are another scene. Rabbits, ground lizards and even fat badgers are not their targets. The rare yellow sheep and short tailed deer fill the vacancy of wild boars. These guys are easier to deal with and much more valuable than wild boars. The men can't remember how long they haven't enjoyed hunting. They want to go farther, but the village head doesn't allow it.

No one dares to challenge the authority of the village head.

Although most families can only keep 20% of the harvest, they are migrant employees after all. It is a special favor for the Lord to allow them to collect and hunt. Moreover, the hunting area of ordinary villages is only 300 square kilometers, while there is a full 400 square kilometers here. No matter how far away it is, it's just that the products in this area have made everyone busy. Even 20% of the harvest made them overjoyed.

Laughter and laughter floated in the fields led by Randall, including praise to the Lord of glory and gratitude to the Lord. Unconsciously, they have regarded themselves as the leaders of this land.

In fact, Randall hasn't led the people yet. There are only vassals and refugees here. The children of refugee families revel in the fields, and the children of vassal families don't play such boring tricks.

There is a large open space on the north side of Pinghu Town. The ground is paved with flat green bricks. Twenty teenagers are playing a confrontation game called handball. They wear fitted leather armor and are divided into two groups, each occupying one side, eyeing and rubbing their hands.

"Harlan, you'll lose this time!" A tall and strong boy shouted in a muffled voice.

"Han Mo, if you win us, talk big!"

The young man named Harry turned his eyes in disdain, turned his head to the left, and smiled proudly at the girls watching the war, as if he had won the ticket. Han Mo was very angry. He didn't want to lose to this arrogant guy in front of girls. Taking advantage of the other party's distraction, he nailed his feet firmly to the ground, stretched his arms like a huge bow and threw the ball out of his hand.

With a shout, the ball crossed a distance of more than 40 meters and flew directly to the opponent's field. The ball flew high and fast, and harrien's face changed suddenly. He could only watch it fall to his backcourt. There were only two defenders, and the opponent's four forwards had passed them and were waiting to catch the ball.

The vanguard of the Han Mo side quickly ran towards the enemy's gate. The captain serves in a secret shape with a Funiu, which is surprisingly powerful. Coupled with the weight of the ball itself, no one can think of intercepting halfway. They can only wait for it to fall down. With this tactic, they have been invincible.

Seeing that the ball was about to fall into the hands of Han Mo, a figure jumped up like a monkey. He turned his head in the air, held the ball in his arms, and then jumped continuously after landing, dissolving the strength carried on the ball.

"Well done, Martin!"

Harry eulogized, and Han Mo shook his head convinced. This kind of leather ball was sewn with cow leather and filled with black beans. It was full of weight. If it was thrown with his strength, even if the opponent intercepted successfully, it would be knocked over to the ground. His striker could grab the ball immediately, but Martin easily solved his attack with a monkey secret.

Although the secret form of the monkey is easier to master than that of the ox, it has to work hard to practice to the extent of Martin. The girls watching the war applauded Martin one after another, and Hammond also extended his thumb to him.

The game continued. The young people on the field came and went, and various tactical cooperation continued to be performed, including wonderful individual shows. The girls cheered here for a while and cheered there for a while, pushing the competition to a climax. Especially when the most beautiful girl cheered loudly, the teenagers worked harder.

Elsa was a little proud. Most of these young girls were adopted sons and daughters of vassal families, and so was she herself. Her adoptive father is Lord Nelson's right-hand man, and her brother is Lord monkey, the sheriff led by Randall. No, it's Munk now. The Lord himself named his brother. With such an identity background, coupled with her excellent appearance and talent for observing words and colors, Elsa soon established her position among her female partners and became the object of the boys.

In fact, Elsa doesn't like handball games at all. She wants to accept Mrs. Elena's teaching in Yinyue manor. It's her dream to become an elegant and confident maid. Unfortunately, Mrs. Elena was busy entertaining the distinguished guests and had no time to train them. Elsa held a handball game with her companions.

Even if she doesn't like it, Elsa won't show it. She's very clever.

"Bang!"

The handball hit the field heavily. A little girl immediately ran out from Elsa and picked up the handball on the ground.

The girls hulled around, comforted the little girl and reached out to touch her little face.

"Bell, are you okay?"

"Bell, are you scared?"

"Bell, the ball is heavy. Give it to me."

Almost hit me, okay? Elsa couldn't help rolling her eyes.

The little girl's name is bertina. Although the name is very similar to the aristocracy, she is actually an orphan, mute and ordinary. But everyone liked bell, even though she had only been here a few days.

Elsa clearly remembered that bertina hid behind Mrs. Elena and peeped timidly at their little appearance. Her curious and clear eyes immediately made Elsa like the little girl as if she were her own sister. In just one day, bertina became everyone's favorite, and even the most ferocious hound in the silver moon manor would shake her head and tail. But I don't know why Mrs. Elena, who took special care of bell, never let her have a calligraphy class and strictly prohibited anyone from secretly teaching her to write. This may be because Bell's natural disability prevented him from becoming an aristocratic maid. However, the big guy did not despise bell, but took pity on her more.

"Hit bell? No?"

The boys stopped the game and ran over. Elsa chided on her hips, "almost hit bell! Can't you be careful?"

"Elsa, it's our fault... It's all harrien's fault. He gets rid of the ball!" With a shy face, Hammond threw the pot to his opponent.

"I... you..." harien pointed to his nose and to Hamel's face.

Elsa rolled her eyes and said, "all right, all right. Don't blame each other. The game is over."

"What are we doing? There are big people coming today. We can't go to Yinyue manor. The elders have something to do, and there is no one at home." Said hammer.

"We can go to see the big man's motorcade. By the way, learn how real attendants and maidens travel." Elsa spoke her true thoughts.

"It's not very good. After all, our etiquette training has not been completed. If we behave too impolitely, we will disgrace the host," harrien said hesitantly

"Who said we were going to meet the motorcade? We could hide in the crowd and peek." Elsa thought for a moment and said, "it's said that the owner's swift bird ride will also serve as a guard of honor for the team. Don't you want to see it?"

"Good!" Fast bird light riding has an unparalleled attraction to young girls, and they immediately agreed.
