"I don't know. ”

Seeing Elantra's disgusted eyes, Evan touched his nose embarrassedly, which damaged his image as a wise and martial artist in this young man's heart.

"All I know is her name, the little girl who spent the night last time on the manor, and her home is here. ”

"Oh, is that so? Tom, you're familiar with the country, go and call the chief of the village. Elantra also scratched his head a little, it was not a way to wander around like this, so he had to find someone to ask.

"Yes, Master Elantra. ”

After a while, the valet Tom led a middle-aged man who was obviously neater and cleaner than the villagers and even decent, and trotted all the way over.

"Good afternoon, two distinguished gentlemen, welcome to our Mogg Farm, I wonder if there is anything I can do to help?"

Still far away, the village chief bowed with a smirk on his face, although he had some small power in this farm, enough to be powerful, but he did not dare to offend the "big men" from the city.

"Don't be nervous, we're just looking for someone, a little girl named Angel who looks to be about eleven or twelve years old, does she live with you?"

However, what Ai Wen didn't expect was that when he heard this name, the village chief's body trembled slightly, and his face stiffened a little: "This ......"

"Why, don't you have this person in Mogg's Farm?" Sensing the village chief's reaction, Evan also accentuated his tone.

"It's not, it's just..."

"What are you talking about?!" couldn't get used to seeing him dragging mud and water, Tom, the manservant standing behind him, pushed him, perfectly playing the image of a noble and evil dog.

Bang –

Although he was pushed, the village chief who had regained his position dared not speak angrily, but said coldly: "She and her former mother are ominous people!

"Ominous one, what's going on, let's hear it!" Elantra on the side was not frightened when he heard this, but became more and more curious, and hurriedly asked.

"Forget it, it's not difficult for you, we'll find it ourselves. Evan interrupted Elantra's questioning.

He knew that Anqi, who was judged by the traffickers of the "Bloody Hand Gang" to have special qualifications, must have an abnormality that was difficult for ordinary people to understand, especially in this kind of rural place, it is normal to be feared and ostracized.

Evan thought that maybe he could ask for the child's opinion. If she agrees, he can take her out of this place that is not friendly to her and start a new life in a different environment.

Help others to the end, and if the qualified "lucky people" continue to live in such a place, they may turn into terrible "misfortune"! This "misfortune" belongs to the child, and perhaps to these villagers.

After all, the cannibalistic "crow ghost woman" was originally a qualified witch!

With that, he turned his horse and walked out of the Mogg Farm, for in a short speech the seabirds had found a lonely dilapidated house almost outside the farmstead.

In fact, Owl Beth has been following them all along, acting as a "base station" to compile and summarize the information from the seabirds to Evan at any time. Coupled with what the village chief said, it was naturally not difficult for Ai Wen to associate the lonely and obviously excluded house with Anqi.

Da Da... Da Da...

The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, and the village chief spat in the back, and whispered to himself: "Obviously I have been abducted, what are you doing when you come back, isn't it good to die directly outside like that terrible woman?!"

This sentence was received by Aiwen's sensitive senses with the breeze, and his heart moved, it seemed that this girl's living conditions were even worse than he imagined...

......

Whoop -

The thin little girl poured half a bucket of water into a small field of her own with great difficulty, and gasped for relief as she looked at the thriving blue-green seedlings.

"Hah, it's finally finished watering. ”

Even this simple job can be a daunting task for chronically malnourished and emaciated girls. But in order to survive, so that she would not ask for charity from others, she worked very hard.

"Little seedlings grow up, grow up quickly...", the girl squatted next to the field after watering and muttered for a while, as if to cheer up the seedlings she had planted.

Perhaps, the only lonely girl who is rejected by the villagers is these "friends" who will not resist her.

"Let's get done with the work!

The girl suddenly remembered something, cheered, and turned around and ran into her dilapidated but cleanly cleaned house.

Lunchtime.

In the warm sunshine, Angel sat on a small bench and took out a smorgasbord biscuit made from wheat bran, grass roots, wild vegetables, and all the "grains" she could find, and ate it with relish.

Her eyes, which were so big because of malnutrition, narrowed happily, that it was clear that this insignificant food had made her very satisfied...

When Ai Wen and his party came to the girl's door, they saw such a scene through the low fence.

The skinny little girl held her biscuits like a little squirrel, eating them in small bites, and she was not willing to waste even the crumbs that fell on the biscuits, so she caught them with her hands and licked them clean one by one.

It was as if she could reap a second happiness from these crumbs.

Seeing such a side of the girl, Ai Wen seemed to have been struck by lightning, and even his extremely strong body, which was a formal knight, was slightly shocked. Through the girl's large eyes narrowed slightly, he seemed to see a pure soul that radiated bright light.

Tenacious, optimistic, humble but with a tenacious vitality like a weed!

"Ah, it's Brother Aven?!"

A group of people came on horseback without the slightest disguise, and without opening their mouths, they already alarmed the girl who was enjoying the "big meal". Seeing that Ai Wen, who was in the lead, could no longer care about the unfinished food in his hand, he ran out with cheers.

"Brother Aiwen, did you come to see me specifically?" Obviously, the girl was impressed by the Ai Wen who saved her, and she recognized him at a glance.

Facing the little girl's expectant gaze, it was naturally impossible for Evan to have a second answer in his mouth: "Anqi, I heard from my aunt that you stayed for one night and left the next day, Mog Farm and Cooper Manor are not far away, I just came to see you on vacation today." ”

"Great, come in and sit. ”

Instructing the two male servants to look after the horses outside, Evan and Elantra followed the girl into the courtyard.

Without entering her low, dimly lit grass hut, the three of them found a place to sit in the courtyard.

It was only at this time that Evan took a serious look at the girl for the first time.

His hair was yellow but not unkempt, his face was long-term malnourished, his thin body was dressed in a burlap robe that didn't fit so well, and his hands were rough and calloused, not for his age.

Every detail tells the hardships of life, but she takes care of herself cleanly, and her big blue eyes are clean and pure, and she can't find the slightest grievance and indignation about the difficult life.

It's very different from the muddy villagers in the farm!

In the face of the harsh treatment of fate, he did not lose hope, with an optimistic nature and amazing resilience, he survived as lonely but tenaciously as a weed.

Regardless of her appearance, Evan thinks Angel should be what an angel should be.

At the same time, there is already a decision in mind.

Taking out the handwritten thank you note from the girl who had been holding it in her arms, Evan asked, "Beyond my expectations, Angel, are you literate?"

Seeing the letter she wrote, Anqi's face was slightly blushing, and she lowered her head and hummed softly: "My mother gave it to me, she used to work as a maid in a nobleman's manor, and she learned some from others."

But I didn't learn well. ”

"What about your mother?"

Then he instantly realized that something was wrong, if Angel's mother was still there, how could this child be in this situation, and immediately apologized to her.

"I'm sorry, Angel. ”

"No, it's okay, it's all in the past..."Angel's voice was low, obviously the injustice of fate did not leave traces in her life.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Elantra, who was looking around in a strange way, was also infected by this atmosphere, and shrank his head and stopped moving.

"Angel!"

"Huh?" Startled by Aven's sudden voice, the girl looked up and saw Evan looking at her solemnly.

"Would you like to get out of here?"

"What... What?" the girl was at a loss.

"I ask you, would you like to leave here with me and be my student?"

made this decision, either because of a momentary throbbing in my heart, or because of an unknown premonition, or simply wanting to help this girl who is very destined for herself.

Especially under the premise that Angel has the qualifications of a spellcaster, Aven feels that it is his responsibility to guide her on a path... Well, maybe not so good, but not worse on the road.
