Chapter 48: Consolation
"Engong, thank you for saving me, it's a pity that I don't have anything to repay, I hope I can be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay Engong's kindness, and the little woman still has one thing to ask for, only ask Engong to agree."
As he spoke, he knelt down for Chen Mo, and Chen Mo didn't stop him, he knew that this woman had made up her mind.
"Is it really no longer considered? If the child has a mother, it will not be so pitiful in the future, and if you are afraid that you will not be able to live, I can help you arrange a place to go. β
"Thank you Engong, I don't have the courage to live anymore, I just ask Engong to take my daughter Talia away, whether it is a slave or other ordinary people for adoption in the future, as long as I don't live in a place where this person is worse than a beast!"
Chen Mo didn't persuade again, he knew that it was useless to say more, so he just nodded lightly and agreed to the other party's request.
Seeing that Chen Mo agreed, the woman said to her child: "Talia, you will be separated from your mother in the future, your mother is going to find your father, that place is too far away and my mother is afraid that she will not be able to take care of you, so she will hand you over to this adult, and in the future, you will serve by the adult's side, be obedient, and you can do whatever the adult tells you to do, you can't refuse, understand?" β
The little girl named Talia apparently didn't quite understand it yet, or she actually did, but she didn't know what to do so that her mother wouldn't leave her.
After handing over Talia to Tie Niu's hands, the woman returned to her tent, Tie Niu seemed a little unwilling, and looked at Chen Mo and said, "Boss, can't you persuade you?" β
"I can't persuade it, a woman has suffered such a big blow, and her family has died tragically, if you are not worried about your last child, I am afraid that I will not keep that breath, now my wish has been fulfilled, it is naturally a will to live and die, and now even if I save it, it is a shell, remember, death is a relief for some people, let's go."
Chen Mo got on the horse and asked Tie Niu to pick up Talia, the two of them directly turned into three people, after walking for a while, Chen Mo looked back and found that there was a puff of black smoke, the direction was where the tent was, shook his head and stopped looking.
Chen Mo didn't comfort Thalia along the way, not that he didn't want to say anything, but he didn't know what to say, and Thalia seemed to be a different person after leaving his mother, who didn't cry or make trouble, ate and drank when he was given, but he just didn't speak.
Tie Niu wanted to speak to persuade him several times, but he found that he didn't know what to do to get the child out, so he sighed and went to the side depressed.
After all the night had gone to bed, Talia opened her eyes and wept silently with the two things her father had left for her.
"Silly child, cry if you want to, it will be less uncomfortable, say what you want to say, but remember that only this time, in the future, you must hide your grief in the bottom of your heart, go to live a good life and not let your parents down."
A big hand was placed on Talia's head, and after feeling the warmth of the palm and Chen Mo's comfort, Talia, who was unusually strong during the day, finally couldn't hold back her tears.
"Woo woo... I saw that my father was broken hands and feet, but I didn't dare to make a sound, my father was shaking his head at me before he died, telling me not to make a sound, my mother was on top of my head when she was bullied by bad people, but in order not to let them find me, I didn't move, the whole family died, but why let me live, why let me see everything. β
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, the little girl was finally willing to speak, as for what she said, Chen Mo was also very sympathetic, seeing his parents die in humiliation but unable to do anything, this feeling would indeed make people collapse.
I remember seeing in my previous life a boy who endured for 22 years and finally stabbed the enemy, regardless of the cause and effect of this matter, right or wrong, because all parties have their positions, hatred in a sense can really be transmitted infinitely, sometimes hatred is not a bad thing, it will make people live and continue to struggle for this goal.
"Your parents are unwilling to expose your existence until they die, it can be seen that their love and expectations for you, the whole family is gone, but you have to live better, from the moment they die, you are no longer simply living for yourself, you are carrying the lives of your parents and your brothers and sisters, from now on, you need to live their share, maybe wait until you take revenge, you are qualified to decide your future fate."
Chen Mo's words quieted Talia, and she seemed to keep this in her heart as she gradually stopped sobbing, Chen Mo's original intention was just to hope that she could have a motivation to live, not to make her heart full of hatred.
"What's in your hands? Can you tell me about it? Chen Mo saw that what he was holding in his hand was a bone flute and a rope. The bone flute and rope must have been relics of Talia's parents.
Sure enough, after hearing Chen Mo ask about these two things, Talia turned her attention to these two things.
"This is Gu Xiao, my mother often blows it to my father in his spare time, every time my father listens to it, he will hug my mother for a long time, that song is so good, I have learned!
This rope was used by Daddy when he was grazing and hunting, and there was a bag of stones, which was used to defend myself against my weapon! I will also use it, I will definitely be able to live a good life, for my father and mother, as well as my brothers, sisters and mothers-in-law! β
Talia said very seriously, Chen Mo smiled and patted her head and said, "Very good, you will live well, it's time to go to bed now, and you have to hurry tomorrow." β
It seems that after telling and Chen Mo's simple comfort, Talia is much better, and she can finally sleep peacefully, but she will only sleep peacefully when Chen Mo is around, otherwise it will be easy to wake up.
After the second day, the little girl was much more cheerful, although she didn't smile much, but at least she could talk and communicate, and Tie Niu was very happy, and felt that it was still good for the child to forget it, at least she would not grieve for too long.
But Chen Mo knew that this was just a faΓ§ade, the little girl was working hard to train her slingling skills, and a hare and an unknown bird were their snacks today.
After stopping and stopping all the way, Tie Niu finally made a new discovery.
"There are a lot of horseshoe prints in front of the boss, all of them are fresh, it looks like they have just passed by, there are no herders around, it seems that the Turkic camp is coming." Tie Niu said with worry and excitement on his face.
"Very good, Talia, there is a camp here, there is no one around, it seems that the person who killed your family should be among them, then I will avenge you, Iron Bull go and check."
