The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 26
It was tatarchuk, the old commander of the Cossacks, who stopped the atrocities. The old Colonel came in from the door, pushed away the layers of Cossacks and came to Oleg.
"Father." Oleg put down the saber on Chechen''s neck and said with his hand down.
It can be seen that tatarchuk has great prestige among the Cossacks.
The old regimental commander snorted heavily and blew his white beard straight up.
"The eagles'' wings are hard. They know how to catch rabbits."
Although he knew that head Tatar Chuk was teaching Oleg a lesson, Chechen still wanted to tell the old head that he was not a rabbit.
The Cossacks around listened to the old head saying that they were bullies, and looked at Cherchen and father sparsokuktsky. They all lowered their heads in shame.
But Oleg was the only one who felt no shame. He looked up, his face red with sauce, full of anger.
"Father, they provoked first."
"Captain Franco just came to understand the situation, and you are not the only one who was asked. You beat their people now. Who do you think he would stand on if Lord fiordo asked." tatarchuk roared and said to Oleg, but Cherchen could hear the care and love in the old captain''s blame, Because his uncle often does this to himself.
"Well, you go back first. Remember, don''t make trouble."
When Oleg stopped talking, tartar Chuk ordered them to go back to the camp.
Although Oleg was indignant and angry, he did not dare to disobey the order of the old colonel. He stared at it until the last one left.
When all his men came out of the tavern, the old head of tartar Chuk helped Cherchen and father sparsokuktsky sit down, and then apologized for him and said, "I''m so sorry, boy. And father."
"I don''t care. He punched me and I gave him a stick. I made money first." father spasokuktsky picked up the wine bottle on the table next to him and wanted to pour another glass of wine. Unexpectedly, it was empty, so he had to put it down reluctantly.
Tartar Chuk nodded. Then the old regimental commander sat down beside Chechen, picked up a stick and let Chechen bite it, and then pulled out the dagger inserted in his hand for him. This time, the pain of Che Chen burst into a cold sweat, and the bones seemed to get into a cold wind.
"It''s no big deal. The dagger didn''t go into the bone. It''s a blessing in misfortune."
The old captain tied the wound tightly for Chechen, then took out some cobwebs and bread crumbs from his pocket, beat them into a ball with his mouth and applied them to the wound, and gave Chechen a simple treatment.
"What''s the matter, Captain tatarchuk?" after listening to the dialogue between the old captain and Oleg just now, Chechen understood that his beating might have something to do with Captain Franco. He asked after the old captain wrapped himself up.
"Oleg is too impulsive," said the head of Tatar Chuk.
It turned out that this matter really had something to do with colonel Franco. It''s about Miss Helena, to be exact. After being ordered to investigate Miss Helena''s sweetheart, Captain Franco began with Miss Helena''s maid. This was originally a correct idea. Miss Helena''s maid would know something when she got along with her master day and night. But I didn''t expect that the maid had never seen the man''s face, although she knew that the young lady was in contact with a mysterious man. Every time the lady meets the man, the maid is sent far away.
Nevertheless, Captain Franco found a useful clue. That is, on the night of the birthday party, the young lady once met the mysterious man in the corridor outside the side door.
As a result, the scope of the search is much narrowed. After questioning the soldiers on duty that night, commander Franco locked the target on several people, and Oleg was one of them.
Of course, these situations were unknown at that time. All he knew was that Captain Franco had asked Oleg in the Cossack barracks.
"Captain Franco only asked Oleg a few questions. For example, where did he go on the night of the banquet? Who can testify? Oleg felt that he had been interrogated like a prisoner. The child always had a high heart and could tolerate this disgrace. So before Captain Franco finished asking, he pushed open the table and went out. I patronized to make amends to Franco when he came out That''s it. "
The old head of tatarchuk shook his head as he said, deeply regretting his late step.
"Oh, I thought how fierce the boy was. His feelings were also a bully. He didn''t dare to do anything to the commander, but bullied the child."
After hearing this, father sparsokuktsky despised Oleg.
"Father!"
The old commander of tartar Chuk wanted to say something, but he didn''t say it after all.
"Old commander, how is the relationship between the mercenary regiment and the Cossack regiment?"
The old head of tatarchuk didn''t expect that Chechen would ask so. The old man was stunned first, and then replied, "everyone works for the Republic."
After hearing this, Che Chen understood something. He lifted his arm, smiled and said to the old head, "well, Grandpa, thank you for helping me heal today. I accidentally stabbed my hand with an awl when I came out today. Father, you saw it, didn''t you?"
After listening, the old regimental commander stood up. He stepped back, then lowered his head to his waist. This is a very important etiquette in Cossacks. Obviously, he was also deeply moved by Chechen''s profound righteousness.
"But," Chechen continued, "please go back and tell Oleg that I, aleval Chechen, will not forget today. Although I am still young and not his opponent, in a few years, when I grow up, I will have a fair competition with him."
When saying this, Che Chen''s face was positive. No one would think that his words were half false.
"I''ll take this with me," the old Colonel promised.
"You really don''t look like a child." after saying goodbye to the old head of tatarchuk, the three parted hands at the intersection. Father spasokuktsky had been walking beside Chechen without talking, which would suddenly say.
"Isn''t it?"
"No, I don''t. usually I''m still in such a situation. I''m either scared or crying for adults," said the priest.
"Maybe it''s because I was raised as the heir of a knight since I was a child. However, father, you don''t look like a priest. Do you only know that prayer: our father in heaven, bless you in your holy name. May your kingdom of heaven come to the world, and may your holy wish..."
"Ha ha, you found out. In fact, I think I''m more suitable to be a swordsman," said father spasokuktsky, straightening the long gun behind him.
"Then why are you?" Chechen was curious.
But the priest didn''t want to satisfy Cherchen''s curiosity. He stopped in front of the tavern and said goodbye to Chechen: "goodbye, child. Today''s wine is very good, and you are very good. Now, I''m going to eliminate the sins of others. If you have anything else to say to God, you can come to me in the square. I will sing prayers there every day. Amen."
"Amen."
