Rescued Girls (3)
It's been eighteen years like this, Penny poured all his love into the child, and Kevin is the courage to support Penny to live to this day, looking at the long sword still hanging aside, the brown scabbard hides the original edge, waiting for the day when it is unsheathed again.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Petunia stopped what she was doing and hurried away.
"It's coming!"
Penny opened the door slightly, and a man in a black robe appeared in front of her, already wet from the rain, and a lump in front of her that seemed to be carrying something.
"Excuse me......"
Before the woman could finish, the man pushed the wooden door open with all his might, and the heavy turning sound creaked with the sound of rain falling outside.
"Auntie, let's go in and talk about ......"
As soon as she heard this, she knew that it was her nephew Kevin who had come to visit the door again, but it seemed a little inappropriate to suddenly visit during this pouring rain. This scene seems to be the same as the touch of eighteen years.
Kevin's rain-stained cloak dragged the wet marks straight into the living room, and put the girl in his arms on the leather sofa, the woman couldn't help but be stunned, only to see that the girl's face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and her vital signs were abnormally weak.
Seeing a trace of blood faintly revealing the corner of Kevin's mouth, Penny immediately asked worriedly, "What's wrong, you're fighting with someone else?" Also Where did this girl come from? ”
"Let's wait a minute, my aunt will bring me the spiritual blood." Kevin slashed his fingertips as he spoke, dripping a few drops of blood onto the girl's forehead, and then quickly turned into a tiny circle.
When Penny heard this, she went back to the living room without saying a word, and brought the bottle full of turquoise liquid. As a drug used to suppress the broken spirit, the cost of inducing spiritual blood is expensive, and it is not something that ordinary families can afford.
"Give"
Penny watched Kevin's movements nervously, knowing that Kevin was using the Soul Restoration Technique, but he was still afraid that something would happen to them, but Kevin said, "Auntie, don't worry, hers is just an ordinary mild spirit breaker, and it is not life-threatening." ”
The so-called broken spirit is actually an abnormal manifestation of spiritual energy overflow, the spiritual energy in the body follows the flow of spirit and matter, spiritual magic refers to one's own thought control, and matter is divided into two parts: internal and external parts of the body. The increase of material energy depends on the absorption of matter, such as eating, which is an external increase, and the internal increase is actually the continuous accumulation of energy absorbed from the outside. But there is a limit to accumulation, when a certain part of the energy is released excessively, the internal and external abilities are out of balance, and the spiritual breath will get out of control, which is called soul breaking.
Kevin gave the girl the blue-green liquid, and then transferred the spiritual energy to activate the rune that had just been applied to the girl, and the rune immediately emitted a light red light, and slowly submerged into the girl's body like a life. The fainting girl's body reacted to the effect of the runes, and her mouth murmured with a slight pain. After a while, the girl's face turned from white to a faint ruddy, and gradually regained her blood color.
"Whew......" Kevin also let out a long sigh, and then temporarily covered the girl with a blanket.
After seeing Kevin finish casting the magic circle, Penny's hanging heart also relaxed. At this time, Kevin had taken off his clothes soaked in rain and sweat, and the striking scars on his body made Penny look very sad.
"The blood mark on your arm, what the hell happened?"
"Oh, this is what the little girl bit me when she got excited, it's no big deal!" Kevin said disapprovingly, and then he looked seriously at the two neat rows of tooth marks on his arm, and a faint spiritual energy came from above.
Penny has no temper with this nephew, and jokes about his body for everything, so he can't help but take out the medicine box on the side to give Kevin medicine.
"Auntie, don't worry, it looks like I can only disturb you tonight." Kevin touched his ankle and felt extremely sore, but gritted his teeth and forced himself not to let Penny see it. Something that has not been used for a long time is easy to cause physical damage when taken out suddenly, so it seems that more practice is required.
Kevin's eyelids became heavy as he thought so, and soon sat down in his chair and fell asleep. Penny wanted to ask Kevin what happened after he bandaged him, but there weren't many cases where her good nephew could reveal his strength to fight, and it seemed that the girl had some origins.
The next morning, the girl woke up sleepy-eyed, shook her heavy head, and found herself lying on a soft bed, with a clean set of clothes. The girl propped herself up slightly and looked around at everything, thinking that she was in some kind of wonderful dream, and then she heard the sound of something falling outside.
When the girl heard this, her whole body trembled, and she crept up from the warm and comfortable bedding, and walked out of the door very vigilantly. When I walked to the door and looked in, Kevin was sleeping on the sofa in a large shape, and a wisp of crystal liquid was still flowing from the corner of his mouth.
The girl slowly moved in front of Kevin, and it turned out that he had knocked over a glass of water while he was sleeping. At this time, Kevin suddenly turned over, which surprised the girl again, only to see that this time it was his turn to slide down the blanket. The girl thought to herself, why is this big brother so dishonest when he sleeps?
So lightly put the blanket back on Kevin's body, maybe the movement was too big, Kevin opened his eyes, and a very embarrassing action was shown in front of him. The girl was bending over, looking at Kevin very closely, and Kevin saw the girl's face for the first time, so otherworldly, innocent without a little impurity in her eyes, and immediately swallowed her saliva. The girl was even more ashamed, her face was as red as a ripe apple, giving people the feeling of wanting to bite off.
Seeing that the girl was stunned in front of him and did not move, Kevin blinked quickly and opened his mouth to break the awkward atmosphere.
"Didn't I say you're tired?"
When the girl heard this, she realized how unbearable her movements were, and she let out a scream and fell backwards to the ground.
This move made Kevin not surprised and felt that the girl was very cute, so he stretched his waist and said, "Why did you wake up so early!" ”
"I can't sleep," the girl said with a little weakness.
Kevin took a lot of look at the girl's expression and found that she was a little afraid of himself, so he wanted to joke with her. After a few dry coughs, he cleared his throat and said, "Do you know what happened at night?" ”
The girl thought about it for a moment, only to remember that two men in black were catching her, and then someone seemed to kill her pursuer, and then the girl felt a sting pain spread through her mind, and she couldn't remember anything.
"I don't remember, that's the best, if I hadn't rescued you last night, you would have drowned in the heavy rain, but I found out that I've been short of money lately, and I'm going to sell you to those black-hearted traffickers!"
Kevin scared the girl, but the girl was very Kevin said, and such a warm scene in front of him suddenly became very cold, and all this did not belong to him after all.
Kevin continued to chat in that scoundrel tone: "But looking at your small body, it is estimated that you can't even work, and now I am not losing money when I sell it, I am fattening." Okay, first call the master to listen, and when I am comfortable, I will have something to eat. ”
The girl clenched her fists, thinking that she was powerless to resist anything, and always went along with it, so that she could suffer less flesh and skin, and in the previous master's place, she had come over like this, and the gentle appearance of the young man in front of her hid the ability to be so fearful, that one day he was not happy to move his fingers and take his own life.
"Lord... Master...", the girl slowly squeezed out the words.
Kevin didn't expect the girl to say it so casually, and smiled helplessly, when a burst of fragrance came out, and Penny brought them the breakfast she had prepared early.
"My little ancestor, why did you make the little girl cry!" Penny glared at Kevin. Hurriedly helped the girl to the side of the sofa and comforted her.
"Ahem, this one, come on, have breakfast." Kevin knew that he was wrong, and hurriedly changed the topic, the girl in front of him estimated that she had been inhumanly destroyed by those unscrupulous dealers before, maybe these jokes were a bit too much.
Seeing that the girl was silent, Penny hugged her emaciated body and comforted: "Kevin, this kid likes to joke, don't take what you just said to heart." ”
The girl didn't respond to Penny's words, and crystal tears slowly fell to the ground.
"Hey, silly boy, come and sit and have breakfast." Petunia beckoned, the aroma of the delicious breakfast on the table wafted out, and the girl's stomach screamed with hunger.
But the girl didn't dare to take the initiative to reach out and take it, just blindly spooning the stewed milk in front of her, Penny was also in the girl's mood, and hurriedly gestured to Kevin.
"Oooh! Let's try this, my aunt's specialty dim sum, roast sauce crisp! Kevin said to the girl.
"May I?"
The girl looked at the golden shortbread in front of her and timidly stretched out her little hand, so Kevin grabbed it and put it on the shortbread.
"Eat, you're welcome, eat as much as you want!" Kevin chewed on the sauce of the shortbread and said vaguely.
The girl relaxed and began to eat breakfast, and it was very fast, it seemed that she had not eaten for a long time. Looking at the girl's movements, Penny couldn't help but feel even more distressed, and tears involuntarily overflowed the corners of her eyes.
"Auntie" Kevin made a sweeping motion in the corner of his eye.
The girl noticed it too, and tilted her head slightly to look at Penny with green eyes that were so pure that there was no trace of impurities.
Penny had already wiped away her tears and smiled: "Gaffe, is the breakfast delicious?" ”
The girl nodded sloppily, and then Kevin suddenly stopped the girl, and then wiped the corner of the girl's mouth with a clean napkin, and then placed the bowl of stewed milk in front of the girl.
"Alright, eat, and see if you're hungry and kill mine."
After saying that, Kevin loosened the joints of his body, and then burped contentedly and lay on the sofa.
"By the way, you haven't told us your name yet?" Penny looked at the girl with a loving smile.
The girl didn't dare to look up, and the feeling of being under the fence for a long time made her feel that she was always inferior to others.
"Mori... Spirit..."
Penny didn't seem to hear clearly, but Kevin, who was sitting on the side, replied with a relaxed face: "Senling, this name is good, what do you think, aunt?" ”
Penny looked at Kevin helplessly, then turned to Sen Ling and said, "If you don't mind, why don't you stay at my house." Actually, I'm alone in my family, and Kevin only comes once in a while, so it would be a lot more lively if there was one more person. ”
Sen Ling didn't answer, but ate breakfast slowly, Penny knew her concerns, but Kevin preemptively said, "Either aunt, you can adopt her, and you can't bear to watch her suffer outside, right?" ”
In fact, Kevin had already discussed with Penny at night, although he met this girl by chance, but she seemed to have a different temperament, so Kevin proposed to adopt this girl as an adopted daughter.
"That's right, Kevin's proposal is good, I don't know if you agree to it?" Penny looked at the girl sitting next to her, and reached out to pull up the hair that covered her face, and that childish face was an innocent beauty.
"Don't cry, be confident, you're much better looking than Kevin's bitter gourd face."
Sen Ling looked at Penny, and then at Kevin, who was whistling on the side, but she was still worried about what Kevin said at the beginning.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, I just like to frown."
Petunia looked at the girl with a kind face, but Kevin walked over, reached out and pressed it on Senling's head, and walked out of the living room. So he hugged the girl tightly again, and said softly: "I hope you can believe us, after all, there are many things in this world that we can't expect, and no one can live alone, if it were you, I think you would not hesitate to ......"
Sen was inspired by the sincerity of the woman in front of him, and the brother just now, unconsciously felt a feeling of attachment in him, so he nodded slightly. Feeling this sudden happiness did not abandon her, and here she felt the special warmth of home for the first time. "Alright, I'll clean up, and I'll go for a walk outside the city in the evening." Kevin looked at Sen Ling with a smile, and Sen Ling nodded very obediently. Ever since they met that day, Sen Ling has been very clingy to Kevin, and he even forgot about the killing of the two black-robed men and the destruction of his body that night. Even Penny said that Sen Ling must be her long-lost sister, and she has a special feeling when she sees her brother.
"By the way, Sen Ling, when did my aunt say when she left that day?"
"Huh? It seems to say half a month later. ”
Kevin thought about it, thinking that there was nothing to do during this time, and Dong had also returned to his hometown with his parents to visit relatives, so it was better to take Sen Ling out for a trip, and going out for a walk might make her more cheerful.
"Would you like to go somewhere else, such as the merchant capital of Isserine?" Kevin suggested.
Sen Ling replied simply: "As long as my brother is by my side, I can do anything." ”
"That's it, okay, let's go."
Although Senling is only up to Kevin's shoulders, his thin body makes outsiders look stunted. But the delicate appearance and the unsullied green eyes still give people a plain beauty.
"Let's go to the Elmond Tavern for a bite to eat." Kevin said, taking the forest's little hand.
But when Sen Ling heard this name, his heart chuckled, and he stood motionless.
