Chapter 302

Since they looked at the surrounding scene, within a few tens of meters they could see, they found that there were weeds everywhere, and not far away there were several houses that had long been abandoned, most of the roofs of these houses had long since disappeared, only one or two walls remained, only one house was barely intact, but the big hole in the wall could not be ignored.

"Let's go over there for the night." It was late at night in the Eastern Continent, so Vane spoke to Barka and Kalia and Anna and Valeera.

"It's true that it's not a good idea to wander the wild at night." Valera took out her bow and arrow from her body and shot an arrow into the grass not far away.

"What did you find?" Barka was a little strange, he and Teddy didn't notice anything unusual.

"A little creature that wants to play with us." Valira answered Barka's words and walked to the grass, from where she dragged a mountain lion. The mountain lion had an arrow in its eye, and it was clearly dead.

"Alright, take the prey, let's go to the house in front of us that hasn't collapsed yet, and if it's sturdy enough, rest there until dawn." Vane looked up at the Celestials and calculated how long it would take for them to flee Winterspring Valley, and it would be dawn in about an hour.

Arriving at the door of the house, Vane and the others saw a bony little human girl in the house. The girl looked like she was about five or six years old, she was not wearing any clothes, her cheeks were sunken, her eye sockets were sunken, her ribs could be seen very clearly, the joints on her arms were bulging and you could even see how the bones on both sides were connected, and the whole person was like a skin covered by dry bones, and a few sparse hairs lay softly on the big head.

"Little girl, what's your name?" When Kalia saw the little human girl, she stepped forward and asked with a look of pity in her eyes.

"My name is Lana, what's your name, big sister?" Lana saw Kalia ask her, and her eyes turned to Kaliya with a ghostly glow.

"My name is Kalia, what are you doing here?" Kalia pulled a fruit out of her package and handed it to Lana.

Lana swallowed when she saw the fruit handed over by Kaliya, then forcibly turned her head away from the fruit and said, "No need, it will be wasted if I give it to me." ”

Hearing Lana's words, Kalia was stunned for a moment, and then silently put back her package. Kalia knew that the child was already aware of her situation.

Sensing that Kalia had put away the fruit, Lana turned her head again to look at Vane and the others behind Kalia, and then silently lowered her head and said to Kalia: "I'm waiting for my mother here, my mother went to look for something to eat, but I waited for a long time, and I ate all the grass on the ground, but my mother still hasn't come back, I miss her so much." ”

Then her eyes shone with a faint light and prayed to Kalya and Vane and the others behind her, "Big sister, can you help me find my mother?" Please, I really miss her. ”

"Of course." Hearing this, Kalia had a gentle smile on her face, and a faint golden light lit up on her hand and gently stroked Lana's head.

"Big sister, your hands are so warm." Lana felt Kaliya's touch, narrowed her eyes comfortably, and after a while, she forced herself to shake off the desire to continue to enjoy Kaliya's touch, turned around and ran to a weed pile not far away, burrowed into it and disappeared.

At this time, Kalia stood up and walked to the side of Vane and the others, and said, "Brother Vane, you won't blame me. ”

"How so, you're doing so well." Barka, who had never concealed his feelings, clasped his hands tightly with Anna at this time, looked at Kalia with red eyes and said, "I never thought and never saw anything like this. ”

Speaking of this, Barka turned to look at Vane and said, "Vane, we must help the child find her mother. ”

"Of course." Seeing this, Vane also felt that this child was very pitiful, and it was not a troublesome thing anyway, so he agreed without hesitation.

"But what should we do?" Hearing Vane agree, Barka immediately asked.

"Look at me." Vane smiled, then pulled out a scroll to cast a spell, using a spell to read the memories of the land.

After a while, Vane finds his target, and he projects a vision of Lana when she is separated from her mother. Lana's mother is also as skinny as Lana, with sunken cheeks, sunken eye sockets, and holes in her clothes. It's a bit shaky to stand there.

"Okay, let's follow this projection and see where she goes." With that, Vane took the lead and left the house after the projection.

After the projection left the house, she kept searching among the weeds, she saw a few grass fruits the size of a small thumbnail, and immediately ran over to pick them with joy, but there were only a few of them, not enough to eat, so the projection continued to search around, and as time passed, the projection went farther and farther, and it was always difficult to find food again. Sometimes the projection finds small animals in the grass in the distance, but it lacks nutrition, and the scrawny projection can't catch up at all, and it can't catch up, even if it picks up the stones on the ground, it's useless to throw them far away.

"Ah~ It's boring." Valera yawned at this time, and said casually with a look of indifference.

"Aren't you sad at all to see that kid?" At first, Barka thought that Valilla just didn't show her sad expression, but now when he heard Valeera's words, he immediately understood that Valeera really didn't care. So he asked with a frown.

"Sad? Why. Valera still looked indifferent and said, "If I am going to be sad like this, then I will not be sad to death every day." ”

"What do you mean?" Anna pressed Barka's shoulder and asked Valeera, a little confused.

"Isn't that obvious?" Valilla spread her hands and said, "Within the sphere of human influence, this kind of thing happens everywhere, and there are so many things worse than this, you will be sad because you have not seen it, and I have long been surprised by this kind of thing. ”

"What could be more miserable than that?" When Kalia heard Valeera's words, she was shocked, she thought that although the other races in this world were not as good as the High Elves, they should not be much worse, for example, although the dwarves were not as rich as the High Elves, their lives were rich enough. But what she saw here this time and Valeera's words made Kalia realize that the world might not be as beautiful as she imagined.

"Yes, human society is very different from what you think." Valera looked up at the dark night sky and said, "The nobles of the human race have a lot of money to spend, but they are still tirelessly collecting all the wealth they can gather. The slums in every city are a major feature of human society, and it is difficult for the poor there to survive. I had been in the slums for more than thirty years as a child, and I knew very well what was going on there, and if it weren't for the free food that the Holy Light Church gave out from time to time, I would have died a long time ago......"

When Valera talked about the slums, her face was unconcerned, and her expression was gone. Her voice grew deeper and deeper until it was completely gone.
