Chapter 46

Ander looked straight, looking open-minded - being open-minded does not mean not lying, it only means that he has enough confidence.

However, no one will easily believe the other person just because he looks open and honest.

"Mr. Ender, I'm not questioning what you said, but it's not a trivial matter to have so many thieves appearing near Wall Village. I still hope you can take us to see the scene."

Although the village chief Tashi's words were tactful, the suspicion on his face was very obvious.

However, what he said made sense and was agreed upon by many people in the room.

Although there are six or seven hundred adults in Wall Village, after half of the women were removed, there are only about three hundred adult men left.

Most of these more than 300 men are farmers. They have only undergone very simple training and have basically never killed anyone. Their combat effectiveness is very limited.

In the entire village, only a regular army squad stationed here is still relatively reliable.

If more than thirty elite thieves attacked unexpectedly, it would not be impossible to capture Wall Village.

So, as Ander said, with so many thieves nearby, the death of the village old Wendel is no longer so important, and the safety of the village is the major issue.

"Yes, but I don't know if there will be other thieves here. It's better for those who go there to be some precautions." Ander nodded. Even if the village chief of Tashi didn't ask, he would find a way to take people to the scene.

"I'll call the soldiers." Banbodon greeted him, stood up and walked outside.

"The people in the village must be more vigilant." Another village elder also stood up and prepared to walk out.

Although everyone thinks that Ende is bragging, this kind of thing is related to the survival of the village, so you must be more careful.

"By the way, Wendel's eldest son Sellers is still waiting outside, he is going together." Someone whispered to the village chief.

"It should be, after all, he is Wendel's son."

In the village-level units, especially when it is related to their own safety, they have strong ability to move. Everyone in the room came up with some ideas and then took action.

The village chief of Tasi discussed with the village elders and determined the candidates to go to the site for investigation.

"Mr. Ande, we will go with you. Others organize the villagers to strengthen defense and patrol the surroundings." The village chief of Tashi quickly arranged his personal work and walked to Ande himself, saying that he had selected the personnel to investigate the site.

Ender nodded, turned to Xavier and said, "Uncle Xavier, you are old, don't follow us back and forth, stay here to help the village.

Also, I plan to build two more wooden houses around the Hunter's Lodge for apprentices to live in, and the fences should be expanded. You are familiar with the village and help me find some good people who build houses."

"It's easy." Xavier agreed immediately.

The harvest season has passed, and the farmers have all been idle, not to mention that Ande is the new guard hunter. As long as the villagers who want to hunt and collect in the forest during the slack season, they must please him.

"As for you guys, go home first, and come here after the house is built, otherwise there will be no place to live." Ander said to the four apprentices again.

"Teacher Ander, we can live in the hall and we can help build a house." Harry said quickly.

"Yes, Teacher Ander, we can also live in the utility room." Kelly said quickly, and Feila nodded repeatedly.

The four of them said they had become hunter apprentices, but in fact they were just verbally recognized by Ander, and their status was not so reliable. Besides, the teacher actually said he wanted to build a house for them, where can I find such a teacher?

"Well—it's fine, but you go back today and discuss with your parents. Come here tomorrow and bring some daily necessities you need."

Ender said this because girls’ personal products are all made up of by-hand, and he cannot provide them - there is no sanitary napkin sold in this world.

————————————

Park the carriage in the Hunter's Lodge, and further forward from the Hunter's Lodge, there is no road for the carriage to walk.

Together with Ender, there were five people who came to check out the traces of the thieves.

They were the village chief of Tass and the old hunter named Munler, the captain of the soldier Benbodon and a young soldier, and a man in his thirties with a gloomy face.

The village chief Tasi is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has brown hair and a red face, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are already quite obvious.

His body was quite strong, his hands were thick and strong, and his back was a little hunched, but it was not very serious, but it just made him look more old.

According to Ander's understanding of the human body, only by bending over and over time can he develop such a figure.

"Mr. Ande, how old are you?" Almost everyone who sees Ande will ask, and the village chief of Tashi is no exception.

"He is only sixteen years old, Ende, do you still remember me?" Before Ende could answer, Benbodon first answered the question of the village chief of Tashi.

Bamboton is the captain of the regular soldiers stationed in Wall Village. He has a total of five soldiers under his command, responsible for protecting Wall Village, and also conducts some preliminary military training for the villagers.

This time, when he was to investigate the scene of the thief's murder, Bamboton followed him with a soldier in full arms.

"Well, Brother Bamboton, of course I remember you. I found my first training dagger, but you found it for me." Seeing that Bamboton finally recognized himself, Ander said with a smile.

"Good boy, I haven't seen him for several years, and he has become a guard hunter. This is really amazing." When Ender still remembers this, Benbodon patted Ender's shoulder hard and said happily.

"That was for the blessing of Uncle Trigan and Aunt Larera." Ander said modestly.

Ander's uncle Corey was the captain of the infantry squadron in the regular army, and Benbodon was his subordinate - the Baron leader had only two infantry squadrons in total.

After a few greetings, Bamboton hugged Ande's shoulders hard, took him forward a few steps, and then distanced himself from everyone, and asked in a low voice: "End, are there really more than thirty thieves? Do you need to cover it up for you?"

At Bamboton, it was probably because of the thief that Ender and Wendell met on the road. Ender relied on his youth, his legs were brisk, and he ran away from his own life, throwing old man Wendell down, causing Wendell to die in a bad life.

What killing the thief to avenge Wendel is probably the words of Ender to cover up his shame.

"Mr. Ander, Captain Benbodon, what are you talking about?" A voice came from behind.

"Sellers, what we say is not your business." Before Ender could speak, Bamboton pushed him back.

"Hmph, Captain Benbodon, you can't protect him just because you know this kid!" The man named Sellers stared at Ander with an ugly face.

"What did you say?" Benbodon's face darkened and he was about to walk over and beat someone up.

"Captain Bamboton, please calm down, and you can say less, too."

The village chief of Tashi quickly stood up and stopped the two of them to be a peacemaker: "Mr. Ander, Sellers is Wendell's eldest son. He was in a very bad mood when he heard the bad news about his father. Please forgive me."

"Hmph, if it weren't for my death, I would have to beat him up today!"

Bamboton stopped, but still felt fierce, not paying attention to putting himself into the role of the dead.

"Banbodon, if there were thirty thieves there, no, even if there were three thieves' bodies, I would kneel down to apologize to him! If there were no thieves' bodies, I wouldn't let him go!"

Sellers pointed at Ender angrily and shouted: "What avenged my father? It must be this coward who threw my father down and ran away by himself!"

Cyrus probably had been holding it back for a long time, and now he burst out in one breath. With the shouting, tears couldn't help but flow.

Bamboton was a little embarrassed, and what Sellers said was actually his idea.

Go up and beat someone? It seems a bit wrong. He just died of his father, so it is normal for him to be sad; but if he doesn't beat someone, he is a little sorry for Ander and Chief Corey.

The straightforward Ban Bodun was in a dilemma and reached out to scratch his scalp, not knowing what to do.

"Mr. Cyrus, I can understand your sadness, but please don't speculate casually. The previous one will be here soon. If you really don't believe it, you can dig it out yourself."

Ander said calmly.

Seeing Ander so calm, Sellers' mood stabilized a little, he hesitated for a while and whispered, "—I will! If you really avenge my father, I am willing to bear the full cost of your expansion of the Hunter's Lodge."

Ander shook his head: "No need, I still have the money, keep your money yourself."

With this unpleasant episode, there are few conversations on the rest of the road.

Besides Bamboton and Ender, others ignored Ender - after all, it seemed that Ender was more likely to be lying.

"From here, it is the place where the thieves are ambushing." Ender stood up and pointed to a bush - the first arrow shot here.

"This is where I stand, where Mr. Wendell stands. More than half of them surround me, and seven or eight people caught Mr. Wendell here."

Ander pointed to several places and said that this was the place where the battle started.

"I fought desperately with the thieves, but there were too many thieves, and I didn't care about Mr. Wendell. When I killed most of the thieves, Mr. Wendell had been brutally killed by them-"

Ander looked sad, and God knew what it would be like if Wendel had a spirit underground.

"I'll bury the thief's body here." Ander pointed to the soft ground under his feet, where he buried his body.

"To pay homage to Mr. Windle, I placed the pieces of his corpse that were chopped by the thief above the thief's body so that he could watch the thief's fate - Mr. Cyrus, you can dig now."

Ender's serious introduction along the way made Sellers a little bit skeptical.

He held the hoe and dug the ground hard.

In a large pit with a radius of five meters, there were corpses stacked in layers, and the dark blood stains exuded a fishy smell.

Wendel's head was placed at the top of these corpses, his old eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open!

Since Ender introduced all the traces left by fighting against the thieves, the old hunter Munler has been silent.

Until now, he saw Sellers digging out his father's head, and seeing Wendel dying with his eyes open, he couldn't help but look at Ender secretly.
