Askeladd entrusts Thorfinn with another “dangerous” mission. During the mission, Thorfinn is wounded in the shoulder by an arrow, and the boy himself is carried adrift to the village, where he is discovered by a woman. Thorfinn wakes up in their house. He watches them for a while and cannot understand because he does not understand English, but this does not prevent him from realizing certain things, such as the care of a woman who sees her dead son in him where I am?
