C3217 The robber enter the village (1/2)
They travelled north from Biarritz and along the coastline. They had to travel over forty kilometers to reach the city of Angley. From there, they would have a train to travel on.
The coastline was over 40 kilometers long, and it was very hard to find any cities or towns that were too bustling. However, there were still a few small villages here and there, and at the end of a grassy area in the hills, a small village called Montu had spent the most chaotic and dark night in history.
Meng Tu was a small village that wasn't even marked on the map. There were 100 or so households, but the total population didn't exceed 300 people. The economy here was very simple, only agriculture and animal husbandry were available.
There was a large grassland outside the village and many cows were raised. Cheese was the main industry here, and olive trees were grown in a small area south of the village. The olive oil produced by a small oil refinery could also be traded with the outside world.
Life was extremely monotonous, extremely close to a small village. Poverty had already become the norm in people's lives. They didn't even feel the existence of poverty.
If you're looking for a typical medieval village, come here. There is not the slightest hint of an industrial civilization in the entire village. To put it harshly, there is not even a single windproof kerosene lamp in the village.
Hills and rocks were not suitable for farming and were only suitable for grazing. Limited olive trees could not support large scale oil extraction workshops. The quality of the cheese and olive oil here could only be considered average.
Such a barren land would not be noticed at all, and even the most common usurers in the fields of France would not want to come here.
It was really a small village without oil and water. The people here had no idea what was going on in the outside world. Numerous French revolutions and many European wars did not affect such a place.
The villagers of this village did not even know that Napoleon III had already stepped down from the stage. They did not even know that Paris had been occupied by the German!
Poverty, isolation, desolation... What a forgotten corner of the world!
According to the villagers, it had been three consecutive years since a Thief had appeared. There was no crime rate here, and no one would lock their doors when they slept at night … Because no one had ever come to such a remote place.
But tonight, something strange happened. The villagers who were sleeping soundly were awoken by the noise of the hooves of the horses. The sounds of several war horses galloping on the dirt road outside the village could be heard.
”There is a small village here … Remote... A sparse population... ”I can only choose to stay here …”
”Isn't it said that Europe is extremely prosperous? Why is there such a backward place … After walking for more than 20 miles, we actually only see one village … ”
”The population of Europe is too small, it's not the same as ours …” ”Look at this huge piece of land, it's actually being grazing in this desolate place …”
The villagers knew that the war horses had already charged into the village. The horsemen spoke a language none of them understood, and the only two dogs in the village were barking. However, when the two thin dogs rushed out, they fled with their tails between their legs.
The dog was a very vigilant animal. It could smell the dangerous scent on the human body, the Veterans of the Hundred Wars s all rolled out from the pile of dead, its killing intent was thick with the smell of death.
Skinny Dog had clearly never met such a powerful opponent before. He was so scared that he immediately turned around and ran without even daring to bark.
The dogs ran away in fright, and the cowshed outside the village also became chaotic. The alertness of the animals was much higher than that of humans!
