5. Chapter V

Via inadvertently became a celebrity in the village of Fรผrth Morgen, and everyone knew that the girl adopted by the John family could sing.

The number of neighbors who came to John's house grew, and during this time, Via got to know Uncle Robert's wife, Lis, the village chief, and many more. They were all curious about Via and asked her many questions. Via's polite and decent appearance made them question the bad rumors before.

What a wonderful little girl she is.

She is diligent, responsive, happy and cheerful, and can sing such beautiful songs, how can she be a disgusted freak?

The happiest were John and Manina, and Via and Dick collaborated again on the song in front of them, and the couple laughed from ear to ear, a kind of parental pride, a kind of gratitude for being lucky enough to meet a good girl.

In the past month, they have all seen what Via's actions have seen. She has a strong learning ability, and she is quick to get started, except for herding cattle and sheep, she has basically mastered everything else, and what is even more precious is that she has never complained about a word of hard work and willing work. How can such a girl not be liked. Manina regretted why she hadn't adopted Via earlier.

By August, Via had gradually settled into life on the ranch, and she was able to do some work on her own without relying on Dick and John.

At dinner that day, Manina told Viata that the family was going to a distant town for a relative's wedding, and that it would take about three days to go back and forth, and that she would have to take care of the ranch when they were not at home.

Family farms like this tend to be the busiest time in the summer, and they can't leave for a moment unless they ask for help from their neighbors or hire people, and only in the winter do they have time to visit distant relatives or travel with their families. Via's arrival gave them a chance to catch their breath from their busy schedules.

They don't have high requirements for Weiya, they are afraid that it will be hard for her, as long as she feeds the livestock on time, cleans the pasture by the way, and does not need her to go out to graze, the cattle and sheep are only locked in the pen for three days, they are all honest animals, and they will not make trouble.

Via felt she could handle the task.

Two days later, Via stood in front of her house with "Furi" in her arms, watching the car drive farther and farther down the mountain.

She touched the soft fur of "Fuli", "It's just the two of us at home." โ€

"Furi" meowed, and lay lazily in her arms, looking like she didn't care about herself.

On the first day, it was no different than usual.

Via got up early to work on the ranch, came back at noon to eat some bread and sausages, took a nap, and then went to the ranch in the afternoon to check on the situation, feed the livestock, lock the ranch gate, and the day's work was done.

The next day, it was cloudy.

It was already nine o'clock in the morning, the sky was still dark and gloomy, the blue sky was covered by dark clouds, those dark clouds also covered the mountains, everything was foggy, and the humidity of water droplets could be felt in the air.

Apparently a heavy rainstorm was brewing in the sky.

Since Via came here, the sun is shining every day, and at most the fog hits people, but she has never encountered a rainy day.

I don't know if it was affected by the weather, in the morning Wei Ya went to the ranch and found that the "old macho man" was very restless, he kept using his two horns to push the plank of the "small single room", but he couldn't move, so he rubbed the hay under him with his hind hooves.

As soon as Via approached it, it glared at her with round eyes, as if it would be unkind to her if she took a step closer to it. Wei Ya couldn't help it, so she hastily put away the food and walked away.

The other cattle and sheep were still very well-behaved, such as "Bai Xue" nestled in its own "small single room", sleeping honestly, and when it felt that Wei Ya was coming, it stood up, leaned over, stuck out its tongue, and licked the hay she handed over.

In the afternoon, it began to rain and the temperature dropped sharply.

From the drizzle to the pouring rain, the rain became heavier and heavier, "crackling" on the roof, the sky was as dark as night, and the leaves and petals outside the house were pulled down by the rain.

Via stood by the window, feeling that the rain would not stop for a while.

In the evening, she held an umbrella, still wearing a single coat, braved the rain and went to the ranch again, checked again, and made sure that there was no problem, before closing the gate and going home.

After dinner, she went back to her bedroom and pondered a new tune.

But she was strangely unable to concentrate, the pencil was drawing meaningless circles on the paper, and there were occasional ghosting in front of her eyes, and she shook her head, and her head hurt.

"It's so cold," she shuddered.

Viagra opened her closet and found an old denim jacket and draped it over her.

But she still felt cold.

The lazy "Furi" took the initiative to come over for the first time, snuggled up to her feet, and bit her trouser legs from time to time.

Wei Ya put down the pen and picked up "Fuli", "Come, let's get warm together." โ€

As soon as the words fell,

Suddenly, "bang" and "bang", two loud bangs,

Frightened, "Frey" jumped out of Via's arms and hid under the bed.

The sound came from the pastures in the mountains.

Via's secret path is not good,

She immediately went downstairs, grabbed an umbrella and a flashlight, opened the door, and rushed into the rain.

When she arrived at the ranch, she found that the shed had a large hole, and a large wooden plank had fallen to the ground, and the rough edges showed that the plank had been knocked open, and there were two deep punctures in the middle.

And the hole corresponds to the "small single room" of the "old macho".

At this moment, it was empty, and the "old man" was gone.

Via turned on all the lights in the ranch and checked them one by one, making sure again that the other animals were there, and only the "old macho" was missing.

Wei Ya was at a loss for a moment, her head became more and more dizzy, her whole body was cold, she unconsciously buttoned her clothes, she forced herself to calm down, she must not panic at this time.

She crouched down to look closely, and found a sheep's hoof print near the hole, which she followed until she reached the end of the road, the entrance to the forest.

The "old macho man" actually ran into the forest.

Via hesitated, stopped.

Looking at the bottomless woods, the black holes, the connected raindrops were like an invisible barrier, blocking her, and there seemed to be unimaginable dangers hidden inside.

Via involuntarily took a step back, and she remembered Dick's warning.

But what should the "old macho man" do?

In her hands, a sheep was lost.

How hard she worked to win the affection of Uncle John and Aunt Manina. As a result, the first time she did things independently, she lost a sheep, maybe they don't care about the value of a sheep, but they must be very disappointed in her, thinking that she is perfunctory and has no intentions.

She didn't want any flaws in her wonderful new life.

Via finally made up her mind,

Walk towards this unknown forest.

At this time, her body was almost semi-wet, her shoes and socks were wet from the inside out, and the umbrella did not play a role in such a heavy rain.

She lowered the flashlight as low as she could to illuminate the sheep's hoof prints.

Walking on her feet in the muddy earth, every step was uncomfortable, and the roots and bushes stuck in the mud were like traps, ready to trip her at any moment. Via didn't know how long she had been gone, all she could hear was the whistling wind and the endless rain.

She was soaking wet, and her clothes were sticking to her body, making her feel cold and biting, as if it was not the height of summer, but the cold of winter.

The rain was so heavy that the sheep's hoof prints gradually became invisible, and finally disappeared completely.

Via paused, looking left and right.

My heart sank to the bottom.

She had no idea where it was.

She's lost.

The lush trees and heavy clouds around her obscured the sky and blocked her vision, and she could not see the way she came and went, the moon and the starry sky.

To make Via's despair even worse, her flashlight ran out of power.

The last of the light was gone, and her eyes were completely dark, and she couldn't see her fingers.

Viya gritted her teeth, but she couldn't stop her legs from trembling, fear completely surrounded her, and she wanted to cry with fear.

"Anyone? Anyone? Is there anybody? She shouted, crying, "Come on, I'm lost." โ€

All that responded to her was the cold sound of wind and rain.

Every bone of Via was trembling, she felt a wave of nausea, she wanted to vomit, her heart seemed to be filled, pressed, hooped, so tight that she couldn't even vomit. She only took two steps forward, her legs weakened, and she knelt on the ground uncontrollably, and she could no longer stand up.

In her memory, Via was frail and sickly, and she thought that after she came, she had changed her physique, but reality gave her a fatal blow.

Her consciousness gradually blurred, and her body fell to the side unconsciously, and she was about to fall into the muddy water, but a pair of strong arms caught her.

By this time, Via was unconscious at all.

The man put one hand under her knee and picked her up.

In fact, if Via insisted on walking forward for a few more minutes, she could see a wooden house in front of her.

The man put Via on his bed, took off her coat, and when it came into contact with her underwear, he hesitated and unbuttoned her.

The girl's beautiful and green body was fully displayed in front of him, but he looked away and covered her with a quilt.

He got up and walked outside, and when he came in again, he had some more logs in his hand, and he put the wood in the fireplace, lit the fire, and the room slowly became warmer.

The girl in pain on the bed gradually expanded her eyebrows, and soon there was an even sound of breathing.

He looked at her face.

It was too far away that day,

It turned out that she was like this.

Long black hair, snow-white skin, light pink lips, and curly long eyelashes.

The eyes under the eyelashes, he thought, must be extremely beautiful.

He couldn't help but stretch out his right hand and reach out to her cheek, but before he could touch it, he thought about something again, and suddenly withdrew his hand.

The man walked out of the house and sat on a wooden chair under the eaves all night.

The next day, the rain passed and the sky cleared.

Sunlight slanted in through the window and shone on Via's face.

Her brow moved,

"Jingle jingle bell" is the sound of wind chimes.

Wind chimes, where do wind chimes come from?

Via's eyes opened suddenly, and she saw a bunch of light purple wind chimes hanging on the window edge above her head, swaying gently with the wind.
