Chapter 48 Ender inheritance, tidal fluctuations(1/2)
Sellers carefully collected his father's flesh and blood and put it in a bag prepared in advance.
Beside him, including village chief Tass, old hunter Munler and Ander, everyone helped to bury the thief's body again.
This is not to let the thieves get into peace, but to avoid the hungry beasts.
This woods have been swept repeatedly by guard hunters for many years. The nearby beasts all agreed that this was a forbidden area and would not come here to seek death - but it would be another matter to have a large amount of ready-made food placed on the ground.
During the slack season, villagers will collect herbs, mountain fruits, mushrooms and other things that can be sold for money and edible, and also cut down miscellaneous wood as firewood. If beasts develop the habit of experiencing food here, it will cause danger to the villagers.
"Mr. Ander, I'm sorry--" Sellers packed up his father's body, sorted out his mood, came to Ander and bent down deeply, bowed to apologize.
"Nothing, I can understand your mood."
"Mr. Ender, I can't think of how to repay such kindness. I can only say, if you have anything to do, please tell me - whatever!"
Looking at Cyrus's red eyes, he seemed to be unable to do anything without letting him do anything.
But Ende didn't know what to say.
First, he really had nothing to do to need the help of the man in front of him; second, killing his father and servile his son would be a bit too much.
Moreover, there is no airtight wall in the world, and I am not flawless in this matter. Not to mention anything else, the four apprentices have seen themselves pulling the thief's knife and leather armor. Kelly and Fella have also helped clean it with their own hands. At that time, Wendelko was still alive - this is also the reason why Ender left all the four apprentices in Wall Village and refused to let them follow.
When things have developed to this point, Ander can't admit that Wendel killed himself, right? Look at Sellers, because Ander is pitiful, but if Sellers knows the truth, he may have to dig up the pit that buried the thief again - put it in a new corpse.
"Well, if you say that, when you have time, I will teach me some knowledge of identifying plants. As a guard hunter, I have completely failed the plant identification assessment."
Ander said with a smile.

The village chief Tashi and his group returned to Wall Village, and the news they brought back shocked the entire village.
A group of villagers gathered together to discuss this amazing news.
"Have you heard it? Lord Ander killed thirty thieves in one pair of thirty!"
"No, I heard Will say that there are more than thirty thieves!"
Will was the young soldier who went with Bamboton.
"I really can't tell that Lord Ander is so young and so powerful."
"We can rest assured hunters with such people."
"Yes, with Lord Ender here, the thieves can't even break through the Hunter's Lodge, and it's impossible for them to hit here."
"With such guard hunters here, we are the safest village in the entire territory, right?"
"Not necessarily, what if the thief comes from another direction?"
"Then we can also ask Lord Ande to come and support us!" The two villagers raised their gamble.
The third brother saw that they became more and more quarrels and wanted to do something, so he quickly started a new topic:
"I went to the town to repair farm tools yesterday. I heard that the Mangrove Village was broken by thieves, and the guards and hunters there were also dead. Although the Lord's soldiers arrived in time and beat the thieves out, many houses in the village were burned and dozens of people died - this was the day before yesterday."
"What? Real or fake?"
"It should be true, I have heard of this, too." The fourth person interrupted.
There is a Kumu Village between Mangshu Village and Wall Village, and there is not frequent exchanges between the two sides. However, when we hear about the experience of Mangshu Village, everyone still couldn't help but feel scared.
If the thirty or more thieves successfully siege and kill Ende and then sneak attack Wall Village at night, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Huh, fortunately there is Lord Ande. Is this a coincidence? The man who was attacked by thieves in the Mangrove Village, and there are thieves here, too?"
"It's something wrong! From today on, we will have to send more people on duty tonight!"
"right."
"It's me too." The men in the village agreed.
Women gather together when men are talking, but their focus is somewhat different.
"Harry and Robbie are blessed now. As long as they can learn the three-point skills of Lord Ender, they will definitely have a great future!"
"Kelly and Feila have made a big profit, and Feila doesn't have to marry that old man Kot now."
"It would be great if they could marry Ende! In this way, Ende will stay in our village." This is to hug her thighs.
"I think it's hard. Mr. Ander is so powerful at such a young age. What kind of woman can't be found? He must marry a lady of noble status."
For these village women, even the squire has a noble status.
"Actually, if you want me to see, it's nothing bad to marry Mr. Kott." A middle-aged woman said, and in addition to envy, she also had a bit of jealousy when she looked at Feila's mother.
"Yes, Mr. Kott is so rich. Except for not being too old and not being a little older, he is not bad in other aspects." Another middle-aged woman also agreed.
"Would you like to marry your daughter to him?" Kelly's mother said angrily.
"Haha, Mr. Kurt doesn't like the money-loser in my family." The mother called out and made excuses for this proposal.
If it weren't for not being able to survive, who would be willing to let his daughter marry an old man?
This is not on the earth. As long as you have money, you can buy anything, and other conditions can be placed in the back row. People who are willing to marry rich old men will catch a lot of people. But in this world, when women are old, if they don’t have children, their situation will be quite miserable after they grow old. Except for nobles, female widows can inherit the title of nobles, and they will have a lifelong dependence.
Of course, even an old nobleman would not marry a civilian as his wife.
————————————
The Baron Leicester is not big. With Leice as the center, you can walk in any direction and walk for up to fifteen kilometers.
In a territory of this size, four villages were attacked and two were compromised, and the news could not be hidden at all.
Since Ander brought back Wendell's body that day, he has never been to Wall Village.
This is not because he is loyal and refuses to leave the Hunter's Lodge, but now he is a celebrity in Wall Village. Once he goes to Wall Village, he always feels like a giant panda leaves the zoo and walks in the crowd.
There were curious eyes everywhere, and some children would secretly reveal a head on the wall to see him. When Ande looked back, they could only see a few retracted little heads and bursts of laughter. Although the other party had no malice, Ande was not very used to this feeling.
"Angus, after I leave, you have to look at the place. If the situation is wrong, light the fireworks immediately, and then you can retreat."
"Please rest assured, master, I am very experienced." Angus patted his chest and said that he would wrap it around me.
In fact, there are similar watchdogs in the thief camp, and their vigilance will only be higher than that of the villages where farmers live. So Angus said that he is experienced and is not a fool, and he bought two local dogs in Wall Village through Xavier, which can help him defend against the enemy's sneak attacks at night.
As for why you want to buy local dogs instead of trained hunting dogs, it is because of the different uses.
As the saying goes, "Dogs that bite people do not bark." Well-trained hunting dogs do not make any sound when they find prey. This is an advantage when hunting, but when guarding the house, this is a disadvantage.
It is always okay to deal with a hunting dog if you dare to attack the thief who guards the hunter.
If you use a hunting dog to guard the portal, you will be killed silently and will not be able to show warning effect. However, this kind of local dog that will make a fuss and scream no matter what abnormal situation you smell, is better in terms of warning.
"I'm not here for these two days, so villagers are forbidden from entering the woods to collect." Ander turned around and ordered Harry and Robbie. If the villagers were killed by beasts and thieves during the collection process, the guard hunter should be responsible and the protection fee was not in vain. The guard hunter must patrol nearby to prevent accidents when the villagers collect.
"Yes, teacher." The two boys agreed loudly together. In the past two days, they had already felt the majesty of the hunter apprentice, and even their elders must respect their opinions.
"As for you two, I will return to the village to live in the past two days." Ander turned his head and told Kelly and Feila: "Wait with me later, I will take you back to Wall Village."
"Okay, teacher." The two girls answered well.
Arranged everything, and as he set off, Ander looked around for another week. This simple hunter's hut made him dislike the eyes of the eyes.
The exterior walls are strong enough, but the living conditions inside are not very good. Ender still slept on a bench - the living conditions here cannot be compared with the backyard of the Reult Hotel where Ender lives in town.
After autumn, it is winter. Both myself and four apprentices need a better living environment. When I return to town, I will go to find Mr. Philip, who specializes in building houses, and I must renovate it.
Ende made a decision that this was his residence for several years in the next year. Ende is not short of money now, so why not make it more comfortable?
On the way back to Wall Village.
Ander walked in front, Kelly and Fella fell behind.
"Fella, the teacher looks so good when walking." Kelly looked at Ander's back, who was seven or eight steps away, and said in a low voice.
Just like a lustful boy sometimes lands behind a girl, in order to observe the other person's back, Kelly also has a similar vulgar hobby.
"Kelly! Isn't it good to say this to the teacher? What if the teacher hears it?" Feila hurriedly pulled Kelly.
"If you hear it, you will hear it. At worst, I will be my lover for the teacher. Even my mother doesn't object to this matter." Kelly said disapprovingly: "Just say if the teacher looks good when walking, right?"
"——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
However, neither of the girls noticed that their steps were actually exactly the same as Ender's pace - Ender raised his left foot, and they also raised his left foot; while Ender landed his right foot, their right foot also fell on the ground!
——————————
When ordinary people walk, they just move forward alternately with their legs in the front and back; while when masters who have been strictly trained, walking gives people a feeling of being one, being closely guarded, and being able to change their battles at any time.
However, when I arrived at Ende, my walking look was different from ordinary people and warriors.
Although Ander seemed to be walking normally step by step, if you follow him like Kelly and carefully observe Ander's back like a little tail, you will find that every step of Ander's heel and soles land at the same time.
The moment Ender landed, his whole person would be a little higher, as if his body was supported from the inside out by something. Then, when Ender took the next step, he would lower his body slightly, and his whole person seemed to be shrinking by one size.
This kind of ups and downs is not large, but if you look closely, you can still find it.
Moreover, there is an indescribable harmonious beauty between the ups and downs of Ander's body, just like the ups and downs of the tide.
This is the external manifestation of Ender's secret method - tidal fluctuations - created!
Speaking of which, Ende took great pains to do.
