After eating, Hornfeis stretched lazily, then began to tidy up the equipment, while Maria cleaned up the dishes.
Hornfeis squatted in front of the bed, tied the laces of his riding boots, and pulled out a wooden box from under the bed, opened the lid, and inside was a well-maintained musket, which he checked for its condition.
He put on his coat, tightened his belt, checked the amount of ammunition, and put it in his pocket.
Then he wrapped the gun in a cloth strap, slung it on his back, walked to the wall, and took the straw hat from the wall.
"The water pouch is filled, I've also packed the dry food and the raincoat in the bag," Maria handed over a brown leather bag.
Hornfeis kissed Maria on the forehead and said, "My dear, I'm heading out."
Maria snuggled in Hornfeis's arms and said, "I'll have dinner ready, be careful out there, don't rush while riding."
"Got it, I'll be careful," Hornfeis promised.
