The houses in the south of Granada are very old, mostly wooden houses.

In order to prevent the company from burning down the company camp in the event of a fire, several wide roads divide the houses here into several sections.

Handington's home was on the side of the road, and he sat on a stake outside the door, mending his clothes by the last rays of light in the evening sky.

Today he was unlucky, when he went hunting, he broke his sleeve by a thorn gully.

Behind him, a strong smell of herbs wafted from the house.

The smell of this herb persists all year round, and the neighbors have become accustomed to it, and at the same time deeply sympathize with and regret it.

Huntington's mother, Dee Lauris, and his late father, Huntington Sr., were once an adventurer couple, the husband was a strong sword and shield bearer, and his wife was also a great bow and arrow.

The old people around him still remember the honest and honest young man who often giggles, and the girl next to him who smiled beautifully.

It was only a few years ago that the adventurer couple followed their companions to escort a caravan north, but only a third of them returned in the end.

Handington's father did not return, and De Lauris was seriously injured and had to say goodbye to his career as an adventurer.

At first, the Adventurers' Guild remembered Handington's father's death, so they arranged for De Lauris to take a light job in the guild so that she could raise Handington.

It was only then that De Lauris's health deteriorated and she was unable to do even the work of sticking parchment paper on the task wall, so she had to return home, and the burden of family life was on the shoulders of Huntington, who was only seven years old at the time.

The Adventurers' Guild had to make seven-year-old Huntington a Little Adventurer when he was less than eight years old, and then go with the other Little Adventurers to gather fruit to support his family.

At this time, someone walked up to Handington's side and asked, "Little Handington, is your mother at home?"

Huntington immediately stood up and said to the short, fat woman, "Hello Aunt Barrel, my mother is resting in it." ”

Generations of the family have opened a tavern, and my mother gave birth to herself in the cellar, so my mother named the barrel by my father, and at this time she carried a basket with a piece of linen in her hand, and she said, "My clumsy man has just grilled the fish, and the guests are not happy to eat it, so you and your mother will eat it together tonight." ”

As she spoke, she walked to Handington's house, and saw nothing outside.

Soon after, the voices of two women and the coughing of De Lauris could be heard in the room.

Aunt Barrel soon came out with an empty basket, and she said to Handington, "I told your mother just now, there have been a lot of people in the store lately, and there are a lot of tips, so you can come and help run the hall tonight, and your mother agreed." ”

Huntington nodded happily.

Not long after Aunt Barrel left, a boy of twelve or thirteen on horseback and neatly dressed in "mirab" stopped next door to Huntington's house.

The boy saw that the door was closed, so he turned to Handington and asked, "Hey, that Handington, hasn't Marianne come back yet?"

Huntington replied expressionlessly, "Back to Master Nottingham, Ma'an hasn't come back yet, and there are a lot of dishes to be washed in the tavern recently." ”

The young master of Nottingham pursed his lips, then stood outside the doorway and waited.

It was getting dark, and Huntington had already returned home to cook.

Young Master Nottingham, who had been waiting for Marianne to come back for a long time, probed into Handington's room, threw a few copper plates on the table, and said, "Handington, when Marianne comes back, you can help me tell her that I invite her to watch me play the day after tomorrow." ”

Huntington shouted in the kitchen, "Got it, Master Nottingham!"

It didn't take long for the porridge to be ready, and Handington scooped out a small bowl first, and then picked two of the eggs that he had exchanged for the hare and pheasant today, and beat them into the pot and boiled them into egg porridge.

Then he brought two bowls of porridge to the room and laid them on the table, and in the middle of the table was a bowl of small, toasted fish three fingers wide.

At last Handington helped his mother, who was resting on the bed, to the edge of the table, and sat down in front of the egg porridge, and he himself sat down in front of the white porridge.

De Lauris pushed the bowl of fish in front of Huntington, and said, "Eat more, be diligent at Aunt Barrel's tonight, and don't smash the sign of Auntie's house." ”

Handington nodded, then took the smallest grilled fish from the bowl and ate it, then pushed the bowl back in front of his mother, and said, "Mom, you have eaten all of these, today the priest said that you should eat more." ”

De Lauris shook her head helplessly, picked two larger fish from the bowl and put them in her son's bowl, and began the pre-meal prayer.

Just halfway through the dinner of the mother and son, the girl's voice sounded at the door, "Aunt De Lauris and Brother Huntington are here, there are guests coming." ”

Huntington and De Lauris were stunned for a moment, there was no precedent for a guest to visit at this time of the day.

So Huntington stood up and replied, "Marianne, we are all here, who is coming?"

The girl who had helped Handington wipe his sweat and bring water during the day led the two guests into Handington's house, and under the light of an oil lamp not much bigger than soybeans, Handington was surprised to find that the two visitors were Charles and Mira, whom they had just met during the day.

At the same time, Charles also found that although the fish in the bowl on the other party's table was a little burnt, it was still a little familiar.

After introducing herself, Mira said to De Lauris, "Madame, my brother has a way to get the contents out of your body, I wonder if you would like to try it?"

I don't know how many times I have experienced hope and disappointment, Di Lauris shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "The family has no money to pay for medical bills. ”

Charles also smiled bitterly in his heart, it seemed that the other party regarded himself as a liar, and he said, "This lady, please rest assured, I don't need money for your treatment." ”

De Lauris frowned, free things are often the most expensive, and Charles's words made her a little uneasy, what if Charles wanted to let her son be a slave.

Mira took De Lauris's hand and whispered, "Madam, don't worry, I swear to the God of Light that we have no intention of killing you, but only want to help you." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a white light lit up from Mira's body.

"Oath?" De Lauris was well-informed, and quickly recognized the meaning of the light.

Mira smiled and nodded.

Then Handington said, "Mother, let this Excellency try it, he is very strong, and Marianne and I saw him flying very high this morning. And he's a good guy. ”

Marianne nodded in agreement.

Charles, who had just received a good person card, said, "Madam, don't worry, our family's ancestral motto is 'help if you can', since I can help you, there is no reason to watch you suffer." ”

He looked at Handington, who was looking expectant, and Marianne next to him, and continued, "Don't you want to see your son marry and have children, and don't want to hold a grandson?"

Huntington's face suddenly turned red, and De Lauris finally nodded when she thought of her son's hardships over the past few years.

Charles let De Lauris lie on the bed, stretched out his right hand and gently pressed it on her back, which was so thin that she could see her ribs, that there was a terrible scar, and then released his mental power to probe the lesion.

Under the dim oil lamp, Handington, who sat at the table uneasily, did not notice that Charles's brow was furrowed. And Marianne held Handington's hand tightly, and she was too nervous.

After Charles figured out the location and size of the lesion, he said to Mira, "Sister, you count down to twenty, when you count to two, I will take out the lesion, and when you count to one, you will release the healing technique." ”

Mira nodded, and began to count down.

"Twenty"

"Nineteen"

"Eighteen"

......

With a countdown, Handington stood up nervously, and Marianne felt his hands tremble and sweat profusely in his palms.

And he was very curious about Charles's treatment, and he didn't understand how this young master was going to treat his mother for a long time.

De Lauris had a slight suspicion in her mind, she thought that Charles would make an opening in her body with great speed and remove the lesion, and finally let the nun heal the wound as soon as possible, so she was prepared to endure the severe pain.

"Three"

"Two"

"Poof"

"We praise you, a comforting God. Now I pray for you, Ms. DeLauris, because she has been seized by her wounds, and please deliver her from her injuries and strengthen her faith......"

The white light lit up from Mira's body again, and then the light containing divine power instantly disappeared into Di Lauris's body.

De Lauris first felt a sharp heart-rending pain, and then a warm force quickly entered her body, and the pain quickly disappeared.

Handington hurried to the bedside, and Marianne was caught off guard by him.

Charles breathed a sigh of relief and looked like the treatment had been successful.

Then he went to the dining table and looked at the strange foreign object that had been taken out of De Lauris's body by teleportation.
