The Rise of Iceland

Chapter 15: Uncle

Two weeks later, Olaf continued the monotonous and boring life of the mission school for the past two weeks. However, he may not be able to see Hadar when he comes home every weekend. Occasionally, when he sees him, he also finds that Hadar is wiping him. He has a warhammer, a long knife, and honed his physique and martial arts in the early morning.

   Olaf clearly felt that Hadar was preparing for the upcoming court meeting-preparing for the worst!

   This kind of precautionary feeling makes Olaf very fond of him. He feels that his father is very reliable and possesses many qualities of a successful person.

   Iceland entering August is the warmest time of the year.

   Although you still have to cover with a thick fur quilt at night, you only need to wear a thicker robe during the day. Compared with the severe cold before June and after October, August is the warmest.

After school on Friday, Olaf was taken to a village in the North District by his father who came to Dagang. He walked into a dark stone house. Hadar called out and a thin, short man with black curly hair walked away. Come out, laugh and hug Hadar.

"My dear brother-in-law! You finally came." Olaf's uncle Hoskuld turned his head and hugged Olaf, said with a smile, "I heard that Olaf went to school in the Southern District Church School, and I wanted him to come. As a guest, are you still used to carrying your child in the church school?"

   Olaf already knew that many years ago, his grandfather died when he went to sea as a pirate. Grandma took her mother, Katrin, and his uncle Hoskud to remarry, and later gave birth to a young son, Kadir.

  Kadir lives in Grey Mountain Village in the northeast of Herut Village in the White Hazel Forest. Because he inherited his father's position, he is the leader and tax collector of this small village, and his status is not much worse than that of Hadar.

   The relationship between the two younger brothers and the eldest sister Katrin is very good, and they are even closer to brother-in-law Hadar, so they are also people who can be trusted by the Hadar family in Iceland.

   Olaf answered a few questions from his uncle politely, and then Hoskurd’s two sons also walked out to meet with Hadar and Olaf.

   Hoskurd had four children, but two of them died. Now his two sons have grown up, and they have followed him in Dagang.

   The eldest son Kalm is twenty years old this year, and he looks very similar to Hoskud.

The second son, Carl Hu, is 16 years old this year, but he is already taller than his father and his elder brother. He just graduated from a mission school last year and is now working as an apprentice with the tax officer of the governor’s office. Before Hoskurd learned about Siegfors and the governor The news to deal with Hadar is what Karhu told Horskurd.

   "Hadard and Olaf, stay with me. When the court meeting starts next Tuesday, let's go to the Governor's Mansion together."

   Hoskard enthusiastically pulled Hadar and his son into the room, and at the same time said excitedly: "Tomorrow Kadir will also bring his son-in-law over, let's have a few drinks tonight!"

   Hadar nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! No matter what the outcome of the court meeting, we are all prepared. We will relax these days and wait until next Tuesday, depending on the situation!"

   "Yes!" Hoskard narrowed his eyes, his tone was a little gloomy, "Isn't it the worst thing to do is murder and defect? ​​Wenlan has Hagrid, we have a way out!"

   Olaf and his two cousins ​​sat aside and listened to their parents while licking Hazel. Neither cousins ​​showed any changes in their expressions. Obviously, they knew and supported their parents' plans.

   Olaf knew that his father had found two uncles last month, and listening to the words they talked now, it was obvious that both uncles were willing to advance and retreat together with the Hadar family.

   As he talked, the night was getting darker, and the lights made of animal fat in the house seemed brighter.

   Olaf’s aunt and two cousins ​​brought several dishes of meat, including smoked lamb’s head, boiled lamb intestines and lamb, fried salmon, smoked puffins, and boiled carrots. There is also a pot of oatmeal and brown bread.

   Everyone presented a plate while eating and chatting. When the meal was over, Hoskurd and Hadar sat aside holding two bottles of wine and drank.

In the next hut, Olaf and two cousins ​​who were curious about the history of the Herut family and Hagrid’s expeditions blew up and talked about things in the Far East under the name of his uncle Hagrid. The Great Wall, Beijing Palace, Nanjing The wonders of the world such as the Great Pao'en Temple Tower made the two cousins ​​stunned.

   "Is there really a thousand-mile-long city wall built of stones in the world? That's really spectacular!"

   "The imperial palace where the emperor of Ming Kingdom lived has tens of thousands of rooms? Then they are really too rich!"

   Olaf grinned and said: "In Iceland, except for the governor and the wealthiest leader, the silk, porcelain, and tea that no one has used before are all bought from Daming."

"Oh! I saw a blue bottle in Master Amir's house. According to him, it is oriental porcelain. It is very expensive!" The big cousin Kalm clapped his hands and remembered what he had seen at the tavern owner in Dagang. Porcelain bottle, talking excitedly.

Carl Hu curled his lips and said in a low voice: "The first half of the Governor's Mansion is the conference hall, and the second half is the Governor's Mansion. I have seen many porcelains there. It is indeed exquisite and beautiful! I heard that a porcelain bottle of the Governor Can change a boat."

   "Oh! So valuable..."

   After talking for a while, Olaf felt sleepy, so he got some hot water in the washbasin to scrub his hands and face.

   The two cousins ​​were still unfulfilled, and mumbled that they would go to the Far East again.

   Olaf rubbed his upper arm and thought in his heart: I want to take a look too, but I am afraid it will be a long time later...

  ...

   The next morning Olaf got up and started doing push-ups and sit-ups.

   The two cousins ​​who slept in the same room got up and looked at them curiously for a while, and then they also learned to exercise, but they were struggling after a few strokes.

   "Olav, are you working out? Is this kind of action effective?" Carl Hu asked, rubbing his stomach.

   Olaf stood up after doing a hundred push-ups in one breath, and smiled: "This is a very good exercise. You can also do it, but you must grasp the breathing rhythm and the movements should not be irritable..."

   When Olaf knew the two cousins ​​were working out, there was a neigh of horses outside, followed by the voices of laughter from Hoskud and Hadar.

   Olaf had an idea, and knew that it was another uncle, Kedir, who had arrived.

   After a while, Hoskurd shouted outside: "Kalm! Carl Hu! Olaf! Come out, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, your uncle Kadir is here!"

  Because the Icelandic language is the same as English, Danish, French and other languages, the uncles and uncles are not subdivided, and they are collectively referred to as a word relationship. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between uncles and uncles or uncles according to the situation.

   Olaf pushed the door and the three of them went out and saw Hadar and Hoskurd talking with the two men.

   These two men, a tall man with blond hair, bulging eyes and a cross-face, looked terrifying, standing in the room close to Hadar, and more than one head taller than Hoskurd.

   Next to the blond man was a younger man. Looking at a 30-year-old man, this man was handsome and had a tall nose, but his figure was a little thin.

   Olaf walked over and hugged the blond man, and said affectionately: "Uncle Cadile!"

   Kadir pulled down the wolfskin cloak with his left hand, touched Olaf's head with his right hand, and said softly: "My little Olaf is here too! The good boy has grown taller again!"

   Over the past ten years, Kadir has had more contacts with Hadar's family, so Olaf and Kadir are more familiar.

Everyone talked about the conversation, and Olaf also knew that standing next to Kadir was the brother-in-law who married his cousin Van Hill last year, a man named Heine. He was a Scottish nobleman who lost his land and estate. He fled to Iceland because of a failed struggle. She was taken in by Kadir and then became his son-in-law.

When Van Hill and Heine got married last year, both Hadar and Catlin attended the event. Olaf stayed in the village because he wanted to learn to write in the church. At that time, Catlin praised Heine for being handsome and aristocratic. .

   Now Olaf took a closer look at this cousin-in-law, and he did indeed have a good skin. As for his character, I don’t know.
