Chapter 14 The Village Chief

The Persian general stared at Yun Qi and with extremely resentful eyes. Just when the two were about to get angry because they were about to get angry, the guy turned around and turned his head and ran away.

His subordinates also looked at each other, slowing down by 3 beats, and then they realized and followed their boss to escape.

Yun Qi and Yun Qi both felt deceived.

In particular, the dagger he was holding was still rippling with a faint dark aura, and a skill that was ready to go was interrupted.

Unwilling to accept it! Regret! Unexplained! All kinds of negative emotions occupy the mood at this time.

A few minutes later, the Persian soldiers left dozens of corpses with different deaths and evacuated them all from the village.

In the huge village, after this disaster, only a few twenty or thirty people remained.

Among them, most of the survived were young women and old people. Young and strong men with the ability to resist had already been exhausted in the first wave of resistance when Persian soldiers invaded the village.

An old man who looked seventy or eighty years old, leaning on a cane, came to the unexpected mercenary.

After the old man's self-introduction, everyone learned that he was the village chief of this village and had lived here for fifty-one years, and he hated the evil deeds of Persian soldiers.

The mercenary had no feelings for the old man's gratitude, but expressed an unexpected surprise for his age and actual appearance.

Yun Qi didn't think anything, because he knew that in the BC when the average life expectancy was less than 40 years old, being able to live to be 50 years old was already a part of the long-lived elderly.

Everyone was patiently waiting for the village chief to nag a lot of uninformed words of thanks, but they were disappointed without waiting for substantial thanks.

In this battle, the Persian soldiers dropped a total of fifty-three corpses, but none of them had a key reward.

This made everyone pin the hope of reward on the surviving villagers. However, this time the village suffered an unprecedented heavy blow, and a large number of property and animals were plundered by Persian soldiers. One of the few valuable items was also unable to be carried by Persian soldiers due to their weight, and they were burned down, like the house, turning into a pile of dry ashes.

Now, the future of the village is in jeopardy, and no one who survives knows how to spend the days ahead.

Just as the mercenary was about to leave in disappointment, the village chief grabbed the rock. This old man, who was actually two or three decades older than the appearance, keenly noticed that the rock was only one of the fierce and fierce leaders.

"Save people to the end, please stay and protect us."

The old man's words naturally could not touch the rocks, but he still asked cautiously, "What are the benefits of us?"

The village chief shivered. He had nothing to stop the mercenaries, but he still tried his best to get it out, and even took out all the gold and silver existing in the village, which could not touch the hearts of the mercenaries.

Just kidding, that little less than one pound of gold can be exchanged for 10,000 reincarnation points in the space, and spread to 20 reincarnation people, each of which is less than 500 points.

Now is the city killing. In this era of soaring prices, 500 points is not enough for them to live a happy and carefree life in the city killing.

However, Yun Qi was really unbearable and comforted him: "Old man, it would be useless for us to stay. You can't stay in the village anymore. Soon the Persian army will launch a final battle against the entire Greek alliance. Your village unfortunately became the outpost of this battle. If you want to survive, you should leave quickly while the main force of the Persian army has not yet landed."

Yun Qi's words were right, and the village chief opened his mouth in shock and took a long time to accept this extremely cruel fact.

However, the village chief showed strong tenacity at this time and made a request to Yunqi and the others.

This time, he settled for the second best, hoping that they could accept the gratitude of the village and spend at least one night with them.

The village chief was very smart and did not force them to stay. He knew that his little wealth could not impress the group of mercenaries with extraordinary temperament in front of him.

So leave them with the excuse of hospitality and thanks, so that at least the escaped Persian squadrons would not return to seek revenge on them.

I have to say that the village chief was very thoughtful.

But he ignored one thing, how could a mercenary be bribed by a supper?

In the end, the village chief had to order people to go to his basement and take out an oak barrel more than a half-person-high from the cellar buried four meters deep underground.

The oak barrel did not attract the attention of the mercenaries. They had already gained a certain understanding of the barrenness of the village and would not expect any huge wealth in the barrel.

Only Yun Qi noticed that the oak barrel was sealed and something must have been sealed inside.

In ancient Greece, oak barrels rarely acted as wooden boxes, and most of them were used as storage food and placed in a cool and dry cellar, which had the effect similar to that of today's refrigerators.

Yun Qi immediately recalled the function of modern oak barrels, which were nothing more than storing high-quality wine or brandy.

Brandy is a distilled liquor, a highly alcohol obtained by distillation after grapes are fermented.

Ancient Greece did not have distillation technology, so it was natural and had no chance of brandy.

By eliminating, the things stored in the oak barrel will naturally come out.

Sure enough, the village chief patted the oak barrel and said, "It contains the wine purchased from a distant merchant with a high price for the whole year. It was originally a sacrifice to offer sacrifices to the sun god in a five-year sacrifice. Now that the village is gone, this thing is used as a reward for everyone to protect us overnight."

The mercenaries were not interested in such "rewards". They drank a lot of wine in reality, and many of them were experts in wine tasting. They did not have much hope for the winemaking technique of ancient Greece, which had not been fully technically crafted.

However, Yun Qi remembered the permanent attributes he obtained after eating the food of the army before.

Therefore, Yun Qi was very interested in the wine that was exchanged for one-third of the village's harvest.

With Yun Qi's fight, everyone finally agreed to let the village chief open the oak barrel and test the quality of the barrel of wine.

The village chief naturally did not want to open the seal of the oak barrel without the other party agreeing.

But the problem is that he has no qualifications to bargain at all. At worst, people don’t want this barrel of wine, but what the village has to bear is the comeback of Persian soldiers.

In the end, the village chief had no choice but to compromise.

The moment the mud seal on the oak barrel was unveiled, the aroma of wine instantly stung everyone's sense of smell. The fragrant smell reminded people of the sweetness in the vineyard in midsummer. To be continued.
