The warmth-giving activity, which lasted for several days, instantly warmed the hearts of these militiamen who were about to return to their hometowns, and they felt a heartfelt gratitude to the king.

Five pounds for a minor injury, twenty-five pounds for a serious injury or disability, for these impoverished militiamen, it is a number that can change their destiny.

Bruce, who had been enjoying himself all day, finally remembered that he would go home in a few days, and he still had to rely on his young fellow to take care of him.

So, he turned his eyes and looked at the dark night outside the door, and with his still good right leg, he lightly kicked Zuo En who was curled up on the other side.

Zuo En, who had been thinking about marrying a wife, had a trace of saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth. When he was sighing for his bright future, he suddenly felt his leg was kicked.

Don't think about it, this room is only big enough to hold two wooden boards, it can also be said to be an abandoned pigsty, besides him, there is only Bruce with a crippled left leg.

So, he put away the infinitely extended and beautiful future imagination in his head, turned sideways, frowned slightly at Bruce on the left, and asked impatiently, "What's wrong? Bruce, I'm getting married now!"

Upon hearing Zon's complaint, Bruce smiled flatteringly, "Zon, to be honest, I think you're a nice person, how about I introduce my sister to you?"

"Ah? Bruce, are you serious?" Zuo En didn't expect that the momentary joking words would be officially spoken out of Bruce's mouth at this time, and he couldn't believe it for a while.

"This is not a joke, Zorn!" Bruce shook his head, got rid of the smile on his face, and said seriously and seriously.

"I see that you are a good person, so my sister married you, of course it is serious!"

"Then, what does your sister look like? Is she a good child?"

Talking openly about his future daughter-in-law with others, Zuo En suddenly felt a little shy, closing the distance between the two, with a shy smile on his young face, he asked softly.

"My younger sister is fourteen years old. She has a round face, buttocks, and is healthy. She has never been sick and is a good child! And she never loses her temper. She can plow the fields, feed sheep,... ..."

As he said that, Bruce got up and praised his sister one after another, which made Zon's heartbeat start to speed up, and he kept nodding his head, looking extremely satisfied.

He didn't pay much attention to the other things, and Zuo En's heart was hooked by the words of being good at giving birth.

What's the use of having a beautiful daughter-in-law, if she can't bear children, in his opinion, she doesn't even want to pay him back.

And a person with a big butt that is easy to bear, not only can work, but also give birth to a few fat boys for him, this is the most beautiful life!

Seeing the satisfied expression of his honest fellow, Bruce couldn't help showing a knowing smile.

Relying on this tall fellow, I will definitely return home safely, so I can rest assured.

Bruce, who was comforted a lot in his heart, looked at Zuo En's arm that was much thicker than ordinary people, and his face also smiled brighter.

Two days later, after all the pensions were issued, the conscripted militiamen were also disbanded.

When going back, Bruce gathered some fellow villagers to go back together. Of the eight people who came together, only five were left when they went back, and three of them were injured, and only two were intact.

Including the sturdy Zuo En and a cross-eyed man, the two are the main staff, responsible for everyone's safety.

Therefore, the five of them rented a carriage together. In this way, not only can some trophies be placed, but also the three sick patients can rest. To be precise, Bruce, who injured his left leg, can rest. Patients with two scars are in less demand.

In this way, after walking for five or six days, several people returned to their hometown - Hannock Town without any danger along the way. You must know that at the stall where the riot subsided, there were a lot of stragglers along the way, which was dangerous. extreme.

When we got here, everyone went back to their homes and went to their mothers.

But Zuo En still accompanied Bruce, sending him home.

With a log on his left leg and supported by Zon, Bruce walked back to his home step by step.

When they got home, Bruce's wife, a black and strong woman, came up to meet him. Looking at Bruce who was limping, the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing, and he couldn't wipe them off.

Behind him, followed a girl with a slightly thin body. Of course, this was compared with the previous one.

The girl's skin is wheat-colored, her height is medium, her arms and thighs look powerful, and it's no problem to chop wood to feed a horse.

It's just that on the face of this strong body, there is a weak and lonely expression, which looks extremely restrained.

Bruce walked forward on his own, and whispered to his wife while biting their ears.

But Zuo En's eyes were focused on his sister, without moving for a moment.

Then, just like that, the family happily ate a sumptuous meal.

And Zuo En was also stayed for one night, but his gaze never took away from the girl's face, which made Bruce's family laugh from ear to ear.

The next day, the news of Bruce's return spread throughout the village in an instant, and with it, he brought back thirty pounds.

This is not a big deal. Depending on your ability on the battlefield, you can earn more loot and leave less. It is up to God to decide.

More importantly, among them, twenty-five pounds were issued by His Majesty the King, which is equivalent to waves rolling up on the calm river, and the hearts of the people in the whole village were shocked.

It turns out that if you are injured, His Majesty the King still pays you! Is there such a thing as being a soldier? If I had known earlier, I would have applied!

For a family that is so poor that only one person is left, let alone the regret in my heart at this time.

The next day, almost everyone came to Bruce's house, one by one to express condolences, with only a few words back and forth.

Has His Majesty the King really sent someone to see you? Did I really give you money? My God, and then a bunch of prayers, and finally came a sentence, is your leg okay?

Such a scene made Bruce overwhelmed, but he still patiently answered every sentence in the face of people from the same village.

The whole morning passed quietly, but the hearts of the villagers gradually became angry. Everyone had only one wish at this time: His Majesty the King once again recruited the militia to fight

On the second day, the two young men came to the village where Bruce was. Under the witness of a hundred people in the village, they handed over fifty pounds in the name of the king to the families of the militiamen who died in battle.

At this moment, the entire village was completely ignited, like a burning bonfire, the heat was overwhelming.

Everyone cautiously surrounded the two legendary envoys of the king, and asked softly: When will His Majesty the King recruit again?
