13 missed

Two days have passed since Knoll was in distress. Except for the deepest part of the Red Leaf Forest, the rest of the places have been searched by the townspeople, but there is not even a trace of Noor.

At the entrance of the cave where Noel fell, the townspeople did not dare to get too close, for fear that they would fall down themselves, so they only dared to look for it under the woods, but found nothing.

"It seems that there is more luck than luck. The mayor sighed and made his decision.

Tomorrow is the farewell ceremony, this year's town is not the same as before, every family knows that the old blacksmith John's family has lost a child, so they discuss together that this year will not be in a big deal.

"It's really going to cause trouble for people, running around or something, so much affecting others!"

The person who said this is called Sam, who is a craftsman who makes ceremonial flowers in the town, and there is a large-scale festival in Red Leaves Town every year, and the celebratory flowers and flying ribbons that need to be used are all handed over to Sam to do, and the farewell ceremony is a big day.

Sam was informed by the mayor that this year's farewell ceremony should be done more concisely, without so many flowers and streamers, because it was necessary to take care of the mood of Old John's family.

"That's a lot less money!" Sam pouted, angrily dragging his little trailer to the red leaf forest to start the day's work: plucking the beautiful autumn leaves, going back to process them, and making them into shiny leaves.

"Huh?"

At that moment, Sam saw something moving in his direction from the exit of the Autumn Leaf Forest. He sighed at the reading glasses he was hanging around his neck, rubbed them and put them on, which really scared Sam when he saw them. In Sam's eyes, two flesh-and-blood figures were walking towards him.

Noll half-dragged Mars forward step by step, he was already exhausted, and only a remnant of consciousness walked forward.

Suddenly, he looked up ahead, his eyes had already blurred, and he could only see the silhouette of a human figure, which seemed to be dragging a small wooden cart, as if it was a resident of Momiji Town. This is undoubtedly a lifesaver for Knoll.

Noel wanted to shout, but tried to open his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound for a long time. He tried hard to raise his hand and waved it, but halfway through it, he couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground unconscious.

Sam turned around and ran, oh my god, it had nothing to do with him, he didn't do it, but... Such a serious injury... Leave it alone, you'll die...

Sam ran and ran to a halt, a fierce battle of thoughts in his heart, and finally he gritted his teeth and turned back again.

Upon closer inspection, Old Sam was once again frightened. "It's... This... It's not that... Who's that!!There's another one next to it!"

Sam no longer hesitated, and dragged the two of them to the small wooden cart...

The Knoll family was lifeless, and Erin stopped talking from the day she learned the news, and sat in front of the fireplace in a daze as she watched the flames beat.

John wiped tears from his eyes and was thinking about how to comfort his wife, when a quick knock on the door stopped John. John, who had always been mild-mannered, could not help but be irritated in his heart.

He opened the door unceremoniously, but what he saw was Sam, few men in Red Leaf Town liked to deal with Sam, this person was stingy and selfish, and he was very calculating, and there were no girls in the town who wanted to marry him.

Despite his anger, John restrained himself: "Sam, what's the matter?"

"Oops!!" The frightened Sam was so excited that for a moment John didn't understand what he was trying to say, and was about to close the door, when Sam quickly turned around and turned the small wooden cart with his back to face John.

John saw that the little wooden cart was covered in blood, and instantly burst into tears: "My son!!!How can this be!!!Erin!!!!!

Erin, who had already heard the voice, had already appeared at the door, "Noel, my child!" Ignoring the blood and dirt, Erin had already pounced, hugged Noel and cried non-stop.

The surrounding neighbors also came out one after another when they heard the noise, but Philip reacted very quickly: "Hurry!!Go to Dr. Darke!!"

The news soon spread throughout Momiji Town: John's baby is back!

.........

In the room, the blood and dirt on the bodies of Knorr and Mars had been cleaned, and the wounds had been bandaged so that they no longer bled out.

"Dr. Dark, how is my son. Erin asked silently with tears in her eyes, for fear of disturbing Noll, who was unconscious.

"Ahh

"Just what?"

"The broken bones of the hand are quite serious, and it may affect the future practice of swordsmanship..."Doctor Duck said euphemistically, but the listener understood what he meant.

Doctor Duck knew very well that the young people of the Sarazan Empire loved swordsmanship, and if he told them that they would not be able to make more progress in swordsmanship in the future, it would undoubtedly extinguish the flame burning in their hearts.

"As for the other person... He had almost all broken ribs and suffered severe internal injuries. I've done my best. With that, Dr. Duck departed with the medicine box.

Erin wanted to catch up and say something, but John pulled her back and shook her head.

......

"Why is it so noisy..."

Xiao Qi locked himself in his room without eating or drinking for two days, and the noise outside the house was extremely harsh.

Suddenly, there was a quick knock on the door in his ears, and Xiao Qi knew that it was his father and mother who wanted to persuade him to eat.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, can you hear me!"

"Noll has found it!!"

Xiao Qi was a little stunned, he seemed to have heard something. It's like a wandering soul suddenly being pulled back into the body. Curled up for a long time, he couldn't stand upright, and he crawled away and opened the locked door.

Looking at his son's appearance, Philip was very distressed.

"Really, father, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Xiao Qi stared at Philip with tears in his eyes.

"It's true, but you can't go see him now, he's very injured and you need to be careful, you need to get yourself right as soon as possible. Noll won't want to see you like this when you wake up!"

"Father, I want to eat!"

Xiao Qi wiped away his tears indiscriminately, he had to cheer up quickly, his father was right, Noel wouldn't want to see him like this, he knew Noel too well!

.........

The next day's farewell ceremony came as scheduled, but it was not as grand as in previous years, and John's family and Philip's family were missing. Noll was seriously injured and had not healed, so naturally he could not participate. Xiao Qi said that he must wait for Noor.

Hadev gave the remaining three students who were to take part in the examination, and the ceremony was completed. When everyone was gone, Hadev sighed helplessly. "What a pity..."
