Chapter 47 (2/2)
”No, stop right here.” Lorraine Hill's tone was firm.
”All right, at your disposal.” Then Ceres called a few riders nearby and told them to tell the team ahead to stop here.
Several riders in armor trotted out on the mountain road. As the front team received the order, the whole team slowly stopped, and then began to lead the carriage to the side of the road and set up camp.
Some went to the nearby woods to get some firewood, while others began to build tents.
Lorraine Hill also stepped down from the carriage and looked around. It was just a relatively flat place on the hillside, with the road on one side and the bottom of the mountain on the other.
After she looked at it for a while, she asked her men to lead the carriage to the open space and separate the road from the open space in two rows. Then she asked people to prepare some thick logs, which were tied with ropes to make wooden fences, and put them in front of and behind the road to seal the passage.
”What are you doing, miss?” Chelsea look a little puzzled, so layers of cards, is ready to fight against the enemy, but how does Miss Lacey know there will be an enemy coming?
”Well, I don't know if the other party will act tonight, but I'm prepared.” Lorraine Hill looked up at the dark sky. There were cool and humid air in the wind. The rain was coming and the wind filled the building.
Then she called over the captains of the jockeys of the chamber of Commerce and divided them into two parts. They took turns to have a rest tonight, and they had to wear armor when they went to bed.
After thinking for a while, she was still a little worried. She took out her two boxes of blood activating potions and gave them three to each team leader. She told them to be extra careful tonight. If any team member was injured, she would drink one. As long as it's not a fatal injury, you can basically save your life.
”Thank you, Miss Lacey!”
After several captains got the medicine, they were grateful, and then carefully put it away and put it in the package. When they walk outside all year round, they naturally understand the value of extraordinary medicine. In this era of no hospital and extremely poor treatment conditions, this medicine is likely to represent a life. This is not a joke, but a valuable experience from the tip of the knife.
Although they all worked hard with money, the young lady's behavior was like a warm heat flowing in their hearts. The concern revealed in those clear eyes moved the riders a little. In this country where interests are heavy and people are indifferent, such sincere care is precious.
After everything was ordered, it was completely dark. A big bonfire rose and a group of people began to cook food. Dried meat and potatoes are cooked into thick soup, and then the dry flour cake is dipped in the soup, or directly torn into the soup to soften. This is the rider's dinner. As the firewood crackled, bursts of fragrance began to spread around the fire.
”Miss, your dinner is ready.”
While Lorraine hill was still thinking about what else to prepare and plan ahead, the voice of Chelsea came from her side and told her that dinner was ready for the carriage.
”Don't bother, just bring it.”
”That's not good. There are too many people here...”
Although Chelsea is not the maid of a noble family, she knows a lot about the rules and etiquette. It is not suitable for unmarried noble ladies to eat in front of a large group of men.
Lolan hill, sitting in front of the campfire, looks up and looks at the scene. The riders in twos and threes are cooking soup in tins, squatting on the ground and eating bread, just like the construction site of previous lives.
”Well, leave me the bread and share the rest of the fruit and the barbecue.”
Chelsea is still a little reluctant, which seems to be against her usual maid principle.
”Don't worry, sister Chelsea. Do as I say.”
”Okay...”
Then Chelsea cut the fruit and barbecue from Lorraine Hill's plate and gave them to the riders, while the girl sat by the fire eating the bread. In fact, she won't do well if she doesn't eat for a few days. The endurance and physical strength of an extraordinary person are not comparable to those of ordinary people. Besides, she is still a very special kind.
There was no accident after dinner. The mountain road was still very quiet. No tourists passed by. Maybe it was because it was going to rain soon. Everyone stopped. In this way, the riders took turns to rest in two groups according to the previous arrangement.
Late at night, there were seven or eight guards guarding the campfire. Snoring came from the tent nearby. At this time, big raindrops began to fall from the sky. After a while, the rapid rain poured down from the sky.
The bonfire was soon put out, and all around it fell into darkness. Only the sound of rain beating leaves could be heard.
At this time, Loran hill in the tent suddenly opened his eyes and said, ”is it finally here?”
The sound of horse's hooves came from the distance of the mountain road, but it was very secret and treacherous under the cover of the sound of rain and water in the mountains.
