Parting is always mixed with pain, Grandma took Andrew in her arms and sobbed quietly, Andrew didn't know what the world would be like without Grandma. Ryan whispered to Eric, unable to hear what he was saying, and the little girl's face was full of reluctance and shyness like the most gorgeous anchovy in the world.

Eric and Ryan walked over together, Grandma let go of Andrew and stood behind him, Andrew nodded slightly to Eric, Ryan stood next to Andrew and took Andrew's hand, and suddenly a warm current permeated Andrew's body, her hands were warm and soft, even if the whole world was cold, her hands were warm. Ryan whispered into Andrew's ear, "Learn to protect yourself, we're waiting for you to come back!"

Eric slowly opens the portal to a whole new world, and some things are simply not worth mentioning in the flood of history.

In this place called Chiba Castle, Eric didn't have much time to stay, and he hurried away after he did what he had to do, not even saying goodbye to Andrew. Andrew, on the other hand, will be in this Chiba Castle for a month, maybe longer.

Chiba Castle is the closest city to the outside world, surrounded by lofty mountains, dense trees that do not even let in the sun, and the center of the city is a flat river, where people build a castle, and the surplus wasteland is reclaimed for millet cultivation. The roe deer meat in the woods is also an excellent delicacy, and it is the most pleasant thing in Chiba Castle to accompany the beloved girl and eat the fatty roasted roe deer meat, accompanied by the millet wine made by the people themselves. The millet wine is spicy and strong, not as soft as the goat's milk wine in Tuobi City. The first time he drank millet wine, Andrew drank it all, his face was red with choking, tears flowed out after a fierce cough, and everyone laughed at the matter of rolling on the ground for an afternoon. Then he thought that he must have said a lot of nonsense before he fell asleep, to a mute girl.

Mu Eun, the only elder of Chiba Castle, placed him in a farmer's house, a middle-aged couple with a mute girl. The dumb girl has a nice name, Jiya, who has just passed the age of fourteen, is the age of development, with slightly bulging breasts outlining a perfect curve, a shallow smile always on her white face, and a pair of dark eyes that are as clear as the sky after rain.

The mute girl was arranged to take care of Andrew's daily life, and because she could not speak, she could not go to school like the other children. She learned all kinds of complicated housework very early, she could originally speak, but when she was four years old, she couldn't speak for some reason, she could only babble, and Elder Mu En couldn't find the reason, and finally everyone decided that this must be the will of the gods in the sky to punish this ominous person in this way.

When Jiya first met Andrew, she was excited, as if she had seen a loved one she hadn't seen for a long time. Elder Mu En briefly explained a few things and then left. For a long time, Ji Ya accompanied Andrew all over Chiba Castle, and Ji Ya saw new things that she had never seen before, and also saw the strange eyes of her people. Andrew chatted with people, and she sat quietly in the distance, not sad or happy. Gia became quieter and quieter, and the expression on her face became more and more complicated, and only when Andrew was alone did she seem so happy, so real.

Andrew knows that gossip can kill, and it can destroy a person's humble self-esteem with impunity. Elder Mu En was stubborn like a stubborn donkey, "The one who the gods have punished is an ominous person, and if you want to get forgiveness from your clansmen, unless it snows in June and the dwarven king is alive, everything is not to be talked about." Andrew slapped the table in the council chamber with a loud bang, but he couldn't move the old man.

Because of knocking over the broth for her mother, Jiya's parents scolded the shivering Jiya loudly as usual, and the strong father even took out a leather whip, and the mother, who had a big belly, had no intention of stopping it.

The child's hoarse sobs came clearly into Andrew's ears, and he felt as if his body was about to be torn apart. There was a "pop", followed by the frightened screams of the child, and there was a chaotic sound of something being knocked over. Andrew and Yi rushed into the room of Jiya's parents, a bloody mark on Jiya's white arm was clearly visible, and her scattered hair covered half of Jiya's face, and she squatted in the corner of the ground and her body trembled violently. There were several dishes scattered on the ground, Andrew's appearance made her father put down the leather whip in his hand, Andrew walked over and squatted in front of Giya, he held her hand, the little girl's palm lost its previous warmth, like ice in the cold winter. As soon as she touched her hand, the little girl shrank in horror, and then threw herself into Andrew's arms, crying and babbling, saying words that no one could understand, and suddenly the little girl bit Andrew's shoulder, and the red blood stained Andrew's white short robe.

Andrew pulled Gia out, and when he stood at the door, he glanced back at the couple and said word by word: "From now on, no one in this world can hurt her! ”

The man's face was gloomy, and he threw out a sentence: "What can a dwarf without spiritual power do?"

Andrew turned his head, the dim candle flame reflected on his immature face, but it revealed his unusual perseverance, "Patriarch Eric is my friend, best friend, if I want to do something that I think I have to do, I think my patriarch friend will be happy to help!"

Andrew knew that Eric's intention to protect him had caused him trouble, "This is my good friend Andrew, he is the new clerk, because he has no spiritual power in his body, so he still hopes that all the people will give him the necessary help." Now more than ever, he wanted to see Eric and tell him about his helplessness and humility. But here in Jiya he can't show helplessness, he is her mountain, even if it is an insignificant mound, he has to show the majesty and majesty of a lofty mountain.

Back in his room, Andrew carefully applied the plaster to Ji Ya's wounds, Ji Ya looked at him gently, and after the bandage, Ji Ya motioned to his short robe under his legs, pointed to his bloody shoulder, lowered his head embarrassedly, and pulled the hem of the red dress with his hand in a panic. Andrew shook his head, bowed his head and said, "I deserve it, I deserve it!" Jiya quickly pulled his clothes to prevent him from talking.

"You can sleep here!" he pointed to his bed, and was about to walk out, but Jiya grabbed him, and her big beautiful eyes were helpless and sad.

"I'm not leaving, I have a lot to think about tonight. He brought a wooden chair and lit the candle. Jiya fell asleep quietly, Andrew didn't feel a trace of sleep, and closed his eyes as if thinking about something important. Reading with quick eyes_
