Charles stared at the Royal Knights' camp in the distance, from where the sound of gold and iron could be heard.

A picture of blood and sweat spilling between the spears and swords naturally appeared in his mind, and just as he was fascinated, there was a urging voice from Lyra.

"Charles, it's home!" Lyra pulled out a few copper plates and handed them to the coachman, waving to Charles.

"Oh, here we are. ”

Charles hurriedly got out of the car, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the small red brick building that was both familiar and unfamiliar, and he was suddenly a little timid, not knowing how to face the gentle and kind mother.

"Anna~Anna~"

Without waiting for Charles to get out of the car, Leila rushed into the courtyard of the small red brick building, calling out Mrs. Griffin's name.

"What's wrong with you, aren't you happy to finally go home?" Cecilia wondered as she looked at Charles, who was nervous.

"Uh..."

Charles scratched his head, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.

Could it be that I accidentally borrowed someone's son's body to return my soul?

"Let's go, Madame, it's time to wait. ”

Cecilia didn't know about Charles's embarrassment, so she stabbed him in the back with a staff from behind and motioned for him to hurry in.

As soon as he took a step and took two steps forward, a voice from the courtyard was heard that was a little hoarse from choking.

"Charles!"

An urgent but gently trembling call made him seem to be immobilized by a spell, and immediately turned into a clay sculpture and wood carving, unable to move, and the thousands of thoughts in his mind were all unsustainable, and they all blurted out two words:

"Mom!"

Tears poured into his eyes the moment he spoke, and a blurry figure approached with the familiar smell, Charles quickly wiped his eyes, trying to see his mother's appearance clearly.

I saw that the beautiful woman in front of me had unique long black hair, wearing a black dress, except for the cuffs, neckline and skirt embroidered with elegant patterns, there was no trace of embellishment on the whole body, this was actually a mourning dress.

The white skin on her neck is particularly eye-catching against the background of her black hair and black clothes, and at this time, she seems to be painted with a touch of red in addition to excitement, which is very beautiful.

Her eyes were already drenched with tears like Charles, but her tears seemed to be wiped and wiped again, and her eyes were still blurry.

It wasn't until Charles called "Mommy" again that she gave up the futile wiping, hugged Charles tightly, and leaned on his chest and sobbed incessantly, as if she wanted to turn all the fears of the past year into tears and cry.

Charles raised his hand tremblingly and gently hugged his mother, who was also trembling, tears quietly sliding down his cheeks, leaving him speechless for a long time.

"Okay, okay, it's okay," Leila walked over and patted Anna on the back, rubbed Charles's head with one hand, and said with rare gentleness, "Let's all go in, go home first, go home first, go home first, go home." ”

Looking at the melon-eating crowd that gradually stopped on the road, Charles nodded embarrassedly and helped his mother Anna into the courtyard.

Cecilia obediently followed, shutting the gate outside the courtyard with a soft hand.

"The little master is back!"

When they entered the courtyard, they saw a sturdy woman of no less height than Charles, who rushed out of the gate of the small building with a loud voice like a tiger and a cow, holding a half-black burning stick in her hand, and a small pink apron embroidered with lace around her waist.

"Well, I'm back, Aunt Helen!"

Charles nodded at the sturdy servant who had come out of the house to greet him.

Helen is Anna's maid, and she has been by Anna's side since she was a child, and even after Anna married into the Griffin family, she has always been with her.

After Charles was born, Helen doted on him even more, spoiling him more than his biological mother Anna, and almost spoiled Charles.

In the memory of this body, she was good at everything, but she was often babbling and a little sentimental, which was extremely incommensurate with her rough size.

"Little master, you are back, Miss is worried about you, you can't even eat the food I cooked. ”

As she spoke, Helen's nose was sore, and tears were spilled like two waterfalls, and she ran over and hugged Charles tightly in her arms.

Bean-sized tears fell on his head one by one, wetting his hair.

"Helen, let go!"

Anna looked at Charles, who had been strangled to the root of his ear purple, and quickly patted Helen's thick arm to save him from Helen's strong chest muscles.

Finally out of danger, Charles quickly took two deep breaths of fresh air, and his face improved.

"I'm sorry, little master, I'm so glad to see you back!"

Helen explained helplessly, glanced at the angry Anna pitifully, and hurriedly said:

"Let's go in first, I'm stewing soup, there are more people now, I'll add some ingredients, just have lunch together." ”

Hearing this, Leila's face changed suddenly, and she waved her hand again and again, looking at Helen who was bent on going her own way, and refused without tears: "No need, Helen, really..."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, it's rare to come here, let's have a light meal together!"

As she spoke, Helen picked up the burning stick and strode back to the kitchen, and before leaving, she didn't forget to praise Cecilia: "The little girl is so beautiful, stay and eat a little together~"

Cecilia was about to be polite when Helen ran in like a gust of wind, and could only blink her eyes to ask Leila for help.

"Sister Lyra, come in. ”

Anna walked in with Charles, and called out to Lyla to enter the house, but her eyes seemed to be glued to Charles, and she never left for a moment.

For Anna's inadvertent strong stance, Leila didn't care.

After all, she has been together for many years, and she has long been used to it.

On the contrary, seeing that Anna had calmed down at this time and returned to the gentle and generous hostess appearance of the past, she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Entering the living room on the first floor of Griffin's house, Anna enthusiastically arranged for everyone to sit down, and then sat down next to Charles, and said a little angrily:

"Why don't you obey?"

Charles was a little embarrassed by Anna's question, he went to the barracks to sign up and hid it from his mother, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "I think... Try. ”

"Do you know how worried we are about you! Jonathan is like that, and so are you!"

Anna's eyebrows were raised, and she suddenly remembered something, and her eyes turned red again: "Just for a baron!"

"It's worth it!" Charles couldn't help but panic when he saw Anna's red eyes again, and quickly stood up, but a string of words suddenly appeared in his heart, and he didn't vomit for a while:

"Dad and I, we don't know anything except iron, there are not many mineral deposits in the three counties of the besieged city, the iron mined from the waste in the occupied area is sold very expensive, the business of the iron shop has long been beyond its means, if there is no subsidy for the title at home, what can I do to let my mother live a good life!"

Before the words fell, Charles regretted it, and secretly said in his heart What happened to him?

Does Charles Griffin top?

But he spoke it fluently from the bottom of his heart, as if he had typed a draft in his mind countless times.

After speaking, it was like a knot between the chest and abdomen being opened, and there was an indescribable sense of pleasure.

When Anna heard this, she was struck by lightning, and she suddenly found that the babbling porcelain doll had grown up and was already a man who knew how to take care of her mother.

Under the agitation of the mood, the already red eyes were occupied by tears again, and her shoulders trembled slightly with her low sobs, and she was speechless for a while.

"Come on, let's try the berry cake I made. ”

At this moment, Helen came out of the kitchen with a plate of colorful biscuits.

The peels of the berries on the biscuits are open and the flesh is blooming, and the shape is miserable, some of them are blackened with green smoke, and some are still flowing with sticky juice, which makes everyone's scalp tingle for a while.

Charles has eaten a lot of this berry biscuit since he was a child, and each experience is different, with all kinds of sweet and sour.

Now when he saw the appearance of this plate, he did not dare to try it easily, and was thinking about how to refuse Helen's kindness, when he suddenly heard Anna exclaim.

"Ahh

I saw Anna stand up suddenly, staring at Charles in disbelief with a pair of beautiful eyes with tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Charles, your neck... Okay?"

Since meeting, Charles has been a prodigal son with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, which is not much different from the previous image of a hunched head.

Only when Fang Cai grabbed the white, he held his head high, which was very different from his previous posture, which made Anna, who was hazy with tears, see the difference.

And as soon as Helen came in, Charles naturally turned his head to look, this kind of easy turning back, Charles, who was hunched over a year ago, couldn't do it.

As soon as Helen put down the plate in her hand, she heard Anna's words, looked at Charles's tall figure, her wide flat nose twitched slightly, her rough eyebrows were crooked, and the tears of Bean Da flooded up again.

I saw her running over in three steps and two steps to put her arms around Charles, and shouted with a cry:

"Great, little master!"

Charles was prepared this time, and was about to show his ability to dodge Lela, preparing a "death grab" to dodge Helen.

Who knew that Helen rumbled to the front, and when she was two or three steps away, her figure suddenly blurred.

Just listen to the old wooden floor "squeak" and groan.

Before Charles could react, he was already in her arms, hugged tightly, and couldn't move.

Leila Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the unharmed wooden floor behind Helen, thoughtful.
