Hera faced the fire again, her face flushed.

Late that night, there was a sudden sound of rustling outside the mansion, and the moonlight was pouring down from the fence window, Hera hurriedly went into the kitchen and took out a few knives from the knife holder, and tried them by the way, it seemed that these knives were not satisfactory to the former king, so she had to look around for other weapons. Molten iron cans? No, chopping board? As Hera hesitated, she saw the logging axe in the corner of the room.

Good! That's it! Hera ran to the corner of the wall in three steps and two steps, and reached out to pick up the logging axe, which she weighed and played in the air as a warm-up exercise.

There was a sound from the rooftop, and a few seconds later, a figure flashed through the window. At this point, Hera noticed that Alice had landed lightly on the ground, and then rushed into the night. So he quickly unbolted the door and pulled the door open.

A man in black was standing outside the door, and when he saw Hera, he immediately drew his sword and stabbed him. Hera hurriedly stepped back and slammed the door shut, which clamped the man's arm in the door, and Hera slammed the door again, breaking the radius and ulna of the other man.

The sword fell to the ground with a thud, and the man in black wailed in pain. Hera slammed the door open, swinging the axe before the man could react, a blow that slashed through the other's skull. However, Hera did not have time to celebrate, and she hurriedly stepped over the man's corpse and rushed to the courtyard at full speed.

Alice is facing three attackers alone in the courtyard. Although the situation was bad, Hera's arrival effectively reversed the situation. The men in black from the future hastily retreated in the direction of the orchard, where they re-established their position

Although Alice was completely barehanded, she was able to subdue her first opponent in an instant, and at the same time, Hera smashed the second person's face with the back of her axe. But the third man in black clung to the axe, ready to resist to the end. Hera first kicked the opponent's lower body, and the blade of the axe slid forward, and the person was blocked before he could release it.

Now that it was all over, Hera was lying on the ground, exhausted, but thankfully unharmed. Hera stared into Alice's eyes, trying to squeeze out a smile, but then coughed violently.

"I'm sorry, I'm out of stock." Hera laughed at herself.

"It's okay, I'll help you."

Alice helped Hera to her feet, and then returned to the mansion together.

The two woke up just before dawn, and Luna returned to the mansion with Hera's husband and children.

It was very cold in the morning, and the morning mist obscured the morning light.

After breakfast, Alice and Luna stand on the road with their backpacks on their backs, and Alice stares thoughtfully into the distance. She thought it was time for her to go back, but when Hera walked behind her from the mansion, she turned her head, and it seemed that Hera's heavy breathing had caught her attention.

"It's going to be a long journey home." Hera said.

"No, it's going to take a moment." Alice bowed slightly.

Hera gave Alice a pendant, "Here's this, you'll be able to use it someday." ”

Alice took the pendant and played with it gently. When she was about to take it to her neck, Hera stopped her.

"No," said Hera, "take it with you when you have no way out." ”

Alice nodded, then packed the pendant into her bag, "Alright, goodbye then." Hera said.

Alice nodded, and then walked into the space-time tunnel behind her, Hera watching the two girls walk in.

As the tunnel was about to close, Hera greeted them until all the light at the entrance of the cave was gone, and the two girls disappeared from Hera's sight, and she turned back into the house.

A few weeks later, Hera had finished her final harvest and Tyre's ninth birthday was over.

Hera went to the desk in the room that day, picked up the pen, and this time his writing was much smoother, and she stared at the blank space of the parchment paper for a moment, and was at once able to write many concise sentences. She reread it again, and the feeling of joy made her laugh involuntarily. But she quickly put down the quill pen.

Damn the chest, all of a sudden it hurts!

At that moment, there was a knock on his door.

"Which one?" Hera quickly cheered up and threw the pen into the inkwell.

The door opened, and it was Laos.

"I'm going to take the kids to the city and come back in the evening."

"Okay."

"There's a market tomorrow, will you come with us?"

"Okay."

"Really?"

"I'll go."

Laos closed the door, and Hera returned to her place, sat and pondered for a moment, then contentedly arranging the manuscript, which he carefully folded together, and tied them with a bundle of ribbons.

The next day was a fine day, so Hera took her children to the market for breakfast. at

Before returning home, Laos walked ahead with his daughter and child, and Hera walked slowly behind them, trying not to disturb them with the sound of her coughing.

But after walking a short distance, Hera was so uncomfortable that she had to stop against a wall.

Seeing that his wife was in trouble, Laos hurriedly walked to her side.

"Honey, what's wrong with you?"

Hera smiled at Laos, "It's okay, it's okay. ”

"Sit down first," Raos pointed to the stool next to him, "you take a rest first, and I'll take the children to the front and rest for a minute or two before leaving." ”

Hera nodded, and as she watched her husband and children walk down the street, she adjusted her position to ease her pain.

Hera looked at the crowd of people coming and going, everyone was busy with their daily work. This sense of serenity comforted him, even a little comforting. The smell of the market intoxicated him, and even the cries of the merchants were so pleasant.

Hera turned her head to see a young girl sitting next to her with a grunt, which didn't fit the mood well, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The little girl muttered endlessly, but she didn't even look at Hera, "What the hell! That damn teacher! Let me do the impossible! I hate it here! She spat the ground.

Hera looked at her with a smile, "I don't think there's anything wrong with your master," it seems that Hera saw the shadow of Shimin training herself from the girl's body, and she smiled softly.

"What? What do you say? The girl asked.

Hera was about to speak, but the pain in her chest hit her again. She tightened up, gasping for air. Seeing this scene, the girl suddenly became at a loss, "It's okay!" Lady? ”

The girl gripped Hera's wrist tightly so she could breathe. Hera stared at the young man's hand, she felt the strength of the man's hand inexplicably strong, and in a trance, the girl's expression seemed to reveal a strange and familiar feeling.

Hera shook her head vigorously to sober herself up.

The girl looked at Hera with concern, and Hera gradually came back to her senses.

"You'd better take a break, okay?" The girl asked.

"What's your name?" Hera asked.

The girl smiled softly, and then said, "My name is Freya. Then she stood up and left Hera's side.

Hera nodded silently and watched her leave. Then he leaned over again, trying to find Laos in the crowd, who was standing in front of a stall picking vegetables, Tyr and Valla standing beside Laos, and the two little ones playing happily.

Hera smiled with relief, then closed her eyes and exhaled deeply, her breathing calmed down, the girl was right, she really needed a quiet rest......

Laos packed the children's toys in his backpack, but his heart suddenly tightened, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He hurriedly looked over to Hera, and saw that she was sitting on the bench in a very abnormal position.

Terrible thoughts welled up in Raos's mind, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hand and hurried towards his wife, who was still playing their game, and they were obviously not old enough to realize what was happening.

When he squeezed to his wife's side, he slowed down and sat down next to Hera. She took Hera's hand, then leaned forward slowly, tapping her forehead against Hera's hair.

Several passers-by were attracted by this scene and stopped, one two, three, four...... However, this is only a momentary stop, and the lives of mortals continue on their own pace.

In the evening, Laos returned to the mansion with the children, and after seeing off Achilles, Laos went into the room, and the children went to bed, and it seemed that what had happened today did not bring down the family.

The flames in the fireplace had been extinguished, so Laos lit a candle and walked towards Hera's desk.

Raos picked up the neatly stacked manuscripts, and found the letter in it, on which he unraveled the fire paint, and then read his wife's writings:

When I was young, I had family affection, but I didn't know what it meant.

I had friendship, but I didn't know how much it was worth.

I had love, but I didn't know how to enjoy it,

Time flies, and now I slowly appreciate the connotation.

Now that I'm in the twilight of my life, I'm finally satisfied.

Family, friendship and love, they used to drive me, but they are really the motivation for me to move forward.

And the most special thing is family affection, yes, you, children, my brothers and sisters, and this vast, beautiful, thought-provoking world.

I would like to offer my most sincere love for you and be by your side for eternity.

To my dearest Raos.
