50. Sail on the bitter sea
Vernorr coaxed her father to amuse what a tutor had said, and she walked out of the hut at the appointed time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThere was no moonlight that night, and she couldn't see inside the unlit room, but she felt the weirdness of the air. The hut, ten meters away from her, seemed to be emitting a peculiar smell, affecting the air around her. However, the child's anticipation of the gift made her ignore these and rush into the hut. Accustomed to the darkness, she could see the creatures inside the room, and several humans who were not dressed beautifully and dusty sat beside her mother, and the smell came from them.
With a hint of joy that she was about to receive a present, she smiled at her mother. Before she could open her mouth to call out "Nana", her mother held out her hand and pointed at several humans, saying "It's her!"
"You're kidding, Lady Audrey! Even if there were no lights now, I could be sure that it would be impossible for such a beautiful little girl to be stuffed into slavery. ”
"I'll let you know soon that this can be done. Vernor's most trusted creature, her mother, Lady Audrey, didn't even give her time to react, and came up to her with a flash of white light behind her head. The sudden pain made her cry, but her mother covered her mouth. By the time she understood what had happened, her golden hair had already been cut off and appeared in her mother's hand covering her mouth. Then there was a pain on her face, and her faint white skin was covered by mud and sand.
"That's fine. Mother's triumphant voice rang out. Several humans glanced at each other, and Hula stepped forward to advance her shoulders and walked out. Her fragile skin, which had been fragile since childhood, continued to transmit pain to Vernor, and she subconsciously struggled, but the hand that held her became stronger. Stretching out her chubby arm, she cried out to her only loved one at this time: "Nana, I'm in pain, I want to go home." ”
Her mother, noble Lady Audrey, came up and gave her a slap that startled her to stop crying. Then the mother put a hat on her in a very rude way. "You must go at once, or your father will find out, and you will not be able to get my gem. ”
As if she understood something, she stopped crying, stared at her big blue eyes and said, "Nana, don't you want Vernor?"
Her determined-faced mother said to her word by word: "Wear your hat and don't let others see your hair! Don't let others see your delicate skin! When you become queen, you will thank me for everything I have done today." ”
Perhaps from this point on, she no longer lightly gave the right to harm herself to any living being.
Twenty-year-old Vernor was abandoned to a slavery house in Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor. Her delicate physique made her so injured that she couldn't stand still. But it soon dawned on her that all the hardships of the journey were good, for she was then thrown into a dark room filled with rancid smell, and it was difficult to breathe.
There were small furry animals moving around, bumping into her or flying in front of her face from time to time. She curled up in the corner, which would somewhat reduce the harassment of some of the critters. After discovering the benefits of this, she found a way to live in harmony with the animals one day later, two days later, her eyes were so dry that there were no more tears, and she understood that crying had no effect, and three days later, she was evicted from her room and given a lunch of leftover food. All the skin on her body began to fester, and it was also a reminder that she had to get new energy to recover. She grabbed the food from her plate with her eyes closed and stuffed it into her mouth, imagining them as her favorite food. A month later, she got a copy of the book that her mother had asked someone to send her.
Compared to the damage inflicted on her mother, the physical trauma caused by the enslavement of the royal family of Gondor was insignificant. With the idea of knowing why her mother treated her the way she did, she raised her head in the midst of unimaginable torment, and was inspired by the books that kept coming. A year later, she calmly stood on her couch and removed the corpse of the slave who had been hanging on it for three days. Two years later, no drunks would dare to pee or vomit on her couch at will, and they knew that this girl was not easy to mess with. Three years later, the girl who slept next to her was caught running away, and watching her whipped to death, she knew that running away was of no use except making the situation worse. After that, she spent five years from the lowest slave to the maid of the council chamber, and a whole new world opened the door to her.
Twenty years later, after three changes of thrones in the human royal family, she was freed as a human princess and female official according to her mother's wishes. In fact, before receiving the letter from her mother, she knew that she could not stay here any longer. Although the forty-year-old elf is still a minor, she is much taller than the average adult human. After so many years of cutting off his blonde hair and smearing his face with mud and sand, it is impossible for elves after the age of forty to not be coveted and possessed by malicious humans.
As she walked out of the royal city of Gondor and walked to the carriage sent by her mother to pick her up, she turned and returned to the lowest abode of the human palace to help out an old man.
"Please give me the right to take care of you for the rest of your life. She said to the old man.
The old man, who was about to die soon, squinted his eyes and looked at her for a long time, still puzzled. She smiled and helped the old man into the carriage, carefully laid out the softest cushion for him before slowly saying, "More than ten years ago, you gave a girl what she wanted most at the moment when she needed it most - a hug. She was also taught not to give up on herself. ”
The old man thought silently for a long time, and finally remembered the situation at that time. I couldn't sleep because I was so loud by the crying that I saw the girl who had all her clothes torn by the drunk, and she was struggling with a knife and preparing to kill herself. He stepped forward and punched the drunk, then snatched the knife from the girl's hand. Not disgusted with the other party's vomit, the old man gave her a hug. He said to a girl who looked like she was only about 15 years old, "Even if the whole world gives up on you, you shouldn't give up on yourself." As long as you do well enough, there will always be a good tomorrow. ”
But he still couldn't understand that a hug could buy everything in front of him. Vernoll smiled and handed him a glass of warm water, and said softly, "When I was about to leave here, I recalled the past and realized that what I wanted to do most was to give my past self a hug. You gave it to her on my behalf. Everything in the future will be what you deserve. ”
