The second is more presented, or please raise your hand to book friends, by the way, "join the bookshelf", if you can like it, or reward, then it would be grateful, and the soul is here to thank you.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, getting closer and closer...
Who could it be?
Hearing footsteps, Ilan muttered to herself.
In the last few days, people have been hiding far away, like hiding from the scourge, and Ilan hasn't seen anyone looking for him for a few days.
Even Anne hadn't been home for days, and she was picked up by the kind Grandma Maria.
The little girl was scared a lot, hehe, she did it too bloody, scared the two little girls.
"Elan, are you there? It's me, I'm Anne. ”
Anne called softly at the door, as if she was afraid to see Ilan, but did not push the door in.
"It's Anne, are you alright?"
Ilan opened the gate and looked at Annie, who had visibly become thinner.
"Oh, it's so much better, thank you that day!"
Anne's eyes were noticeably different when she looked at Elan, as timid as a little rabbit in her arms.
"No thanks, every Hariran can't watch their sister being bullied, can they?"
Looking at Anne's panicked eyes, Ilan replied righteously.
"Ilan, how are you doing?"
"Well, it's very quiet, and it's helpful for cultivation."
"People don't mean to alienate you."
"It's okay, I understand, if it were me, I would do the same."
"Oh, Ilan, Grandpa Brolin wants to take you there."
"What is the old village chief looking for me?"
"I don't know about this, you better go and ask Grandpa Brolin."
"Okay, let's go together."
"Well, I'll lead the way in front."
The two of them walked along the river, all the way to the town, no one spoke much, just walked silently, in fact, both of them were like a rabbit in their hearts, their hearts were beating hard, and they seemed to have a lot to say, but they didn't know what to say.
"Is Gram coming?" Ilan eventually brought up something that the entire town of Ogmudor was reluctant to mention.
"Yes, everyone says that, ahem, I'm sorry, I hurt you, otherwise, you wouldn't be in a dangerous situation."
"This is nothing, the reason why I came out alone is to experience, how can I become a strong person if I don't go through such a journey between life and death." Elan was supported by his unwavering faith, even though he was fearless in the face of the mighty Earl Gramm, a third-level professional known as the "Butcher of the Bloody Hand".
"You have the courage, well, you are a real hero in my heart." The little girl seemed to be expressing something.
"I'm just for revenge, I can't talk about heroes or heroes, if one day I take revenge on my parents, maybe I will find a quiet small village and spend the rest of my life peacefully."
"Revenge, Elan, do you want revenge too?"
"Yes, my parents died tragically, and I still don't know who did it, Uncle Iazar never told me this, he just said that if my strength was enough, I would naturally know."
"Oh, then, Ilan, you're even worse than I am. At the very least, I have a mother who has accompanied me through my childhood. ”
"I'm used to it, I don't have parents, but I still have Uncle Iassa. After a long time, I also wanted to open it. ”
"yes, yes. My mother is gone, and I still have Grandpa Hammer, Grandpa Bellok, Grandpa Brolin, and Grandma Maria, and the whole village is my family. ”
The little girl had tears in her eyes, obviously thinking of her mother, a little sad and painful.
"Annie, what kind of person is your mother?"
"Oh, my mother's name is Venus."
Anne looked at the Ogmdo Mountains in the distance and slowly told Elan the story of her childhood.
Teenage Anne's mother's name was Venus, unlike other mothers.
For as long as Anne can remember, her mother, Venus, has been different from other mothers.
Venus never seemed to have left her stilted house, she didn't talk much, and she couldn't say a few words to Anne in a day.
Anne's mother was wrapped in a thick veil to cover her face all year round. For as long as Anne could remember, she hadn't seen her mother for what she really was.
As for the reason, according to Venus, she had a strange skin disease, and her body was ulcerated, like a ghost, and she was so unsightly that she did not dare to show her true face in front of others.
Of course, Venus had also seen many doctors, taking various potions, and looking for all kinds of precious herbs, but none of them could be effective.
Venus seems to be isolated from the world, living in painful and dark corners, always avoiding contact with strangers.
Except for Grandpa Hammer, Grandpa Bellok, and Grandpa Brolin, the village chief, he has never seen anyone again, living in isolation all the year round, living in his own small building alone, until he leaves this world and returns to the arms of the god Noi.
Her mother's illness and pain were deeply engraved in Anne's heart.
This prompted our Anne to aspire to be a white magician since she was a child, hoping to use the power of magic to help the injured and sick like her mother, and relieve their pain, so as to make the whole world more happy and less unhappy.
In the year Anne was thirteen years old, Venus died.
Anne will never forget the scene at that time, and the seeds of fear are always buried in her heart and cannot be removed.
Venus was covered in a foul stench, like rotten stinking meat.
Piece by piece, the flesh detached from Venus's body, rotted, and then turned into a puddle of pus, disgusting.
Even in the end, there was not a single bone left, and the mother's terrifying face was shown to her daughter Anne for the first time.
Hehe, what kind of face is that, I can't call it a face anymore. Because it was completely rotten, it was not called a face, and there were gray-black scars everywhere, yellow pus, and the facial features had lost their shape, and the furrows and ravines were like a swamp.
Venus's whole face was melting, and it kept melting.
Watching my mother's body disappear little by little, turning into pus, and being powerless, is there anything more cruel than this?
In order not to worry Anne, Venus, as a mother, has been insisting, gritting her teeth and insisting on not wailing, leaving no trace of pain, and just passed away in Anne's silent mourning.
In the end, to Anne's sadness, her mother disappeared from this world, never to be seen again, leaving nothing, not even teeth and bones, and her whole body turned into a disgusting puddle of yellow pus, and finally this puss was gone.
As a result, Anne couldn't even collect her mother's bones, so she could only bury a set of her mother's clothes in her mother's grave as a burial mound.
The mother called her name, and the last voice wished her happiness, that she could live well, and finally passed away in the sincere blessing to her daughter.
This left Anne with a pain that will never be forgotten, and also a love that can never be forgotten.
However, the mother did not tell Anne what happened to her, or who her father was, as if her father had never appeared.
