The Rise of Iceland

Chapter 24: Kind father and filial son

Olaf was awakened by a bird call in the morning. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the chirping birds on the canopy, and there were several eagles circling and dancing in the sky.

After slept in the wild, Olaf felt much better. He lifted the blanket and stood up. He saw Hudik and Hoskard, Kadir, Heine and Kalm sitting in front of a pile of pine firewood. .

Hoskurd cut the brown bread with a knife, and prepared to bake it on the fire for a while.

Olaf put away the blankets, and saw Yoot walking in with a large bundle of pine branches.

"Olav is awake? We'll have dinner in a while!"

Olaf picked up two wooden sticks to go to the depths of the woods for convenience, and when he returned, he had already cooked a pot of porridge.

After a few people had their breakfast, they heated the mashed potatoes on the fire, and then Hoskurd took Olaf away on horseback from the southern end of the pine forest and ran on the dirt road to the west.

Hudik took Kadir and Yote ready to go, grabbing their weapons, and at the same time let Heine and Kalm hang far behind Hoskard, and if there is an emergency, he can return to report in time.

Olaf and Hoskurd walked for a long time until they turned their heads and couldn't see the pine forest, and the huge and towering Hekla volcano in the south was blurred, and then they stopped.

"We're waiting here! Hadar might be there by noon!" Hoskurd said in a low voice, estimating the time of his feet.

Olaf dismounted and waited with a crock wrapped in animal skins. After about an hour later, he saw four guards riding horses appearing in the west, slowly walking eastward.

"Come on!"

The two of them led the horse to the west. The moss turf under their feet was squeaked. After a while, they could clearly see the four guards on horseback and their hands and calves bound behind them, who could only walk forward in small steps. Dar.

"who!"

"stop!"

The four guards suddenly saw Olaf and Hoskurd approaching, and they clenched their spears and asked.

"Brother Guard! I am Hoskurd, a good citizen of Dagangbei District. You don't recognize me? This child is Hadar's son. We know that Hadar has committed a crime and will be exiled, so their family entrusted me to send this child. See Hadar."

Hoskuldra stood still far away with Olaf, and then slowly approached as he spoke.

The leading guard had a pale yellow skin and looked like an Eastern European. He had a big beard and a spear in his hand. He remembered that Hoskurd had seen Hadar off a few days ago, so he asked: "You guys How did Hadar get ahead of us to see?"

Hoskard said with a sad face: "Oh! We don't know where you are. We chased our heads in a hurry. Thinking that you might not have crossed the Shorso River before, you turned your head and went back to try your luck..."

"Sure enough, I saw you!" Hoskuld took the crock from Olaf, put down the small barrel of wine he was holding, and said with a smile, "This is the diced potatoes we made for the four of you. Mud is a famous dish newly invented in France. If you are tired from walking, stop and rest, eat something, drink some wine, let this kid talk to his father, okay?"

"Just stay here for a candle, and then you leave immediately!"

The four guards thought for a while, then looked at the young Olaf and the short and thin Hoskuld, nodded, and after speaking, took the crock barrel and sat aside to eat and drink.

Olaf and Hoskurd both agreed to walk up to Hadar and looked at Hadar, whose face was haggard and his cheeks collapsed. They both felt sour. They knew that Hadar had suffered in the past few days, and he still had trouble eating and drinking. , If you really just walk to the glacier like this, you may have to die if you don't arrive.

Hoskard secretly scolded Siegfors and Kaulsvin for being vicious, but Olaf hugged his father and whispered in his ear the plan to rescue him.

In the eyes of the four guards who were paying close attention to the three of them while eating and drinking, it was Olaf, the child holding his father Hadar, expressing his yearning and concern.

Hadar was a little excited when he saw Olaf and Hoskard. After hearing Olaf's plan, his body trembled with excitement, making a guard laugh loudly when he saw him.

After a while, the guards who ate up a crock of mashed potatoes and drank a barrel of beer stood up and praised the deliciousness of the "mashed potatoes with diced meat", and then ordered Olaf and Hoskard to leave quickly.

Hoskurdela quickly walked east with Olaf, and the four guards turned on their horses leisurely and contentedly, and then the last guard pulled the rope connecting Hadar's feet and said, "Go! Let's go faster today, in the evening. Just rest on the east bank!"

The leading guard stretched out his hands with black mud in his nails and buckled the shreds of meat stuffed between his teeth in his mouth, and said indistinctly: "After eating the food delivered by your son, I won't leave in the afternoon. You have a rest! Humph, your family can afford black pepper, you deserve to be the leader of a district!"

Olaf and Hoskurd walked far away, and they couldn't see the guards on horseback when they turned their heads. They turned their horses back to the south and galloped back to the east.

After a while, the two saw Heine rushing out of the bushes to grab the reins.

"How is it?" Heine asked anxiously~www.wuxiahere.com~ They all ate it! "Hoskurd slapped his forearm, and said with joy, "We are lying in ambush in the woods of the West Bank, and wait until they have started the poison!" "

Olaf estimated that it would take an hour for the guards and father to walk near the West Bank, when the beer in the stomach catalyzed the solanine, and they would react quickly, so they also agreed.

"The woods on the west bank are too close to the village. We can tie our horses in the woods. People are lying in the bushes outside the woods. When they approach, they may also become poisonous. Either pulling strength or stomach cramps. You can succeed by swarming!"

Hoskard and Heine believed Olaf the most, and laughed at the words.

The three of them hurriedly rode back to the woods, and met Kalm on the road, and finally saw Yotte, Hudik, and Kadir who heard the movement.

Olaf explained his plan here. Hudik did not object this time. Instead, he frowned and looked at several people around him. Seeing that they were all convinced by Olaf, he coldly snorted: "Not in the woods. In an ambush, the four guards are more likely to escape on horseback! But if the potatoes you mentioned can poison them and make them vomit and vomit, I think it will be effective if we ambush outside the woods...

I don't think we have a better way. Since we choose to try the poison you mentioned, we will believe you in the end! "

Olaf breathed a sigh of relief, and took a long sword from the side of the Hoskurdma backpack, and said, "Thank you Uncle Hudik! Thank you Uncle Hoskurd and Uncle Kadir! Thank you Heine and Karm! The closest person to my family! Thank you!"

The corner of Hudick's mouth was slightly tilted, and he said coldly: "Let's go in ambush!" After saying that, he left with the archer and the sword on his back, and the others hurriedly followed.

Olaf smiled, and walked firmly to the end.
