Chapter 44: Mother and Daughter Reunited

Even if the hair is messy, even if the clothes are tattered, even if the body is thin.

When Catelyn actually saw the thin figure standing on the road ahead, she still recognized the little troublemaker in Winterfell at a glance.

Tears blurred Catelyn's eyes like a welling of tears, and she lifted her skirt almost immediately, wanting to run to the poor child.

But before she could make any moves, a small body had already thrown herself into her arms in her blurred vision.

Catelyn was stunned, and before she could think about whether Ally was fast or she was dazzled, a cry full of longing and grievances completely crushed all her distractions.

"Mother."

Arya threw herself into Catelyn's arms, rubbing her head greedily against her soft chest.

"They killed their father, and they said that he was a traitor, and they lied! There was no way for my father to be treasonous, he had such a good relationship with King Robert! And Sansa......"

Listening to Arya's grievances and resentment in her arms, Catelyn's heart was full of love and sadness.

"My poor Arya, it's all right, it's all right...... We will avenge your father's vengeance, and we will save your sister......"

Caitlyn whispered as she gently stroked Arya's newly grown tousled hair.

Arya was still babbling, and Catelyn listened quietly.

Looking at the warm picture of the mother and daughter getting together, the corners of Lin Yi's mouth under the mask rose slightly.

After traveling north for two months, he had seen a lot of the devastation caused by the war, coupled with the influence of the power of the ghosts and gods in his left hand, Lin Yi would inevitably have a trace of violence and numbness in his heart.

But seeing such a scene at this moment, the warmth of family affection and the beauty of human nature were once again displayed in front of Lin Yi, and an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment poured out in his heart, and the trace of violent distractions that lingered in his mind gradually dissipated.

To be able to see such a scene, what is the rush of a few months?

Lin Yi thought so, and his dark eyes looked at Caitlin and Arya quietly, without interrupting the reunion between the two.

Brienne's eyes on the side also softened, and a face full of freckles couldn't help but smile a little.

Unlike Caitlyn, Brienne saw all of Arya's movements, so when she saw the incredible speed, Brienne was so shocked that she almost drew her sword.

But no matter how much steel turned into a finger twist at the sight of this scene, no one knew better than her, the female escort who accompanied her day and night, how much Catelyn missed her children.

Of course, that doesn't mean Brienne will forget what happened.

After Lan Li's death, this female knight from Tas will never let go of any possible crisis.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, and allow me to interrupt."

Brienne's apologetic voice rang out, and Arya looked up from Catelyn's arms.

"It's so high!"

Arya looked at the tall figure in iron armor in amazement, and she could tell that it was a woman.

How can there be such a tall woman, much taller than the teacher!

"Madam, may I ask the second lady a few questions?"

Brienne tried to make her tone as unhostile as possible.

"What's the problem?"

Caitlyn subconsciously asked, but she immediately understood what Brienne meant, and then hugged Arya in her arms tightly, her tone with a hint of anger.

"I know what you're worried about, but there's no doubt that this is my Arya! No one can imitate Arya, and I am willing to vouch for her with my life! ”

Hewen on the side also reacted.

He frowned slightly, his eyes were fixed on Arya, and he also saw Arya's speed.

As the commander of a cavalry, Ha Wen knows that speed is power, and being able to burst out at such a speed in a short distance represents not only a flexible body, but also an amazing explosive power that should not be possessed in this short body.

Hearing the conversation between Brienne and her mother, Arya's increasingly sensitive mind instantly figured everything out, and her heart suddenly felt a little ashamed.

She had discussed with her teacher, first concealing her teacher's identity related to sorcerers and kingkillers, and then using her identity as a swordsmanship teacher and life-saving benefactor, she asked her brother Robb to send a guide to take him to the Great Wall.

Try to make the process as smooth and smooth as possible, without too many twists and turns.

But when she saw Caitlin's deeply remembered face, Arya couldn't hold back and rushed into her arms desperately.

But no matter what, what is done is what is done.

Arya hurriedly took her mother's hand and turned her head to point at Lin Yi behind her.

"Mother, I'm going to introduce you to someone."

Naturally, Caitlyn would not forget the person who had brought Arya to the front of the army to block the way, but instead of asking, she looked at Arya tenderly, waiting for her introduction.

In the aftermath of this ordeal, her tolerance for her children has been raised to an excessive level.

Arya pulled her mother to Lin Yi.

This is a very dangerous distance for a swordsman.

Brienne grew more and more vigilant, and her palm was pressed against the hilt of the sword at her waist.

Ha Wen also waved his hand secretly, and the troops behind him quietly formed an encirclement.

Caitlin noticed this, too, but she didn't care, because she didn't think anyone would be so insane to attack her here.

Arya didn't care anymore, because she knew that these people were no threat to her teacher.

She took her mother's hand and introduced in an affectionate tone.

"Yi Lin is my sword teacher and my savior, and he is the one who led me from King's Landing to Riverrun."

"Swordsmanship teacher?"

Caitlyn was slightly stunned, with a hint of surprise in her tone.

"Your swordsmanship teacher is not your father...... Did you find a Braavos swordsman? ”

Her tone paused slightly, regretting her choice of words, and her eyes were on Arya, for fear that her words would evoke her sad memories again.

But what she didn't expect was that Arya just nodded slightly.

"Celio is a very good swordsman, he taught me a lot, but so is Teacher Yi, and he was chosen by me!"

Then, in Caitlin's surprised eyes, Arya took Lin Yi's hand again and introduced herself to him with a smile.

"Teacher, this is my mother, although my mother often asks me to do things that I don't like to do, but she is a very good person, and she is a very good mother."

Caitlin was a little surprised, Arya's kind words meant that this swordsman had a very high status in her heart, and he was not even below herself, which couldn't help but make her a little surprised.

"Good morning, honorable Lady Stark."

Lin Yi chuckled and bowed.

"Hello, easy ...... Mr. ”

Caitlyn saluted as well.

Although Caitlin didn't feel that the man in front of her was worthy of being equal to her, she didn't want to break her child's heart.

If Arya thinks he's important, he's important.

And after all, this wandering swordsman brought his daughter back, and even if he didn't have a knighthood, he would definitely be a guest of honor in Winterfell.

Seeing that the two seemed to get along very harmoniously, Arya couldn't help but be happy.

"My Arya." Caitlyn gently stroked Arya's head, "It seems that after that, a lot of stories happened to you, and I don't know you anymore......"

Arya hurriedly hugged Caitlyn's shake and whispered.

"In the past few days, I will tell you about the things I encountered on the road one by one, but now Mr. Yi's story is more important than mine."

As she spoke, Arya looked at Lin Yi, and Caitlin and the others also looked at Lin Yi.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Yi gently pulled down the black mask, revealing a handsome face that was very different from that of the Westeros.

"Lady Stark, allow me to reintroduce myself, I am a swordsman from the Far East, and I have traveled to the outside of the Wall to find the cause of magical revival."

"Magical resurgence?"

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Catelyn's pupils shrank, and then she turned her head to look at Brienne.

When she turned around again, there was a solemnity in Caitlyn's eyes.

"Mr. Yi, please enter Riverrun City with me, your kindness to the little girl, the Stark family will definitely repay it."
