Chapter 16: The Village of Boshka
"I've been in a lot of trouble lately. ”
Ran Qi looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, and felt an indescribable sense of depression.
First he was injured in the swordsmanship tournament, then he was stabbed in a dangerous zone by his friend, and finally he was stabbed again, and I don't know if it was God's will or what.
"You're up?"
At this moment, Ailan came up from downstairs with a basket in his hand, which contained food called fruits, which were not common in the West.
"You don't have to come every day. ”
Although Dye Qi is a little tired of Ailan's arrival every day, he still thanks her for taking care of her from the bottom of his heart.
"Keep your mouth hard! This is the fruit that Young Master Manro asked me to bring you, and eat it obediently. ”
As she spoke, Ailan grabbed a red fruit and stuffed it into Dye Qi's mouth.
"Well, thank you for the blood transfusion before. ”
Dye Qi thanked Ailan while chewing the fruit.
"What did you say?"
But she couldn't hear what Dye Qi was saying.
"Nothing. ”
Dye Qi happened to swallow the fruit at this time, and I don't know if he did it on purpose.
"You can get some rest, don't run around all the time. ”
Ailan put down the basket in her hand and went downstairs without stopping, her own bakery also needed help, and she couldn't leave for too long.
After going downstairs, Ailan stretched her waist, and she felt a little tired from running back and forth between the two places these days, but it was inevitable to take care of the family's business.
"Alan!"
At this moment, Rare came running from afar, as if something was important.
"What's the matter, I'm in a hurry. ”
"The two women, wake up. ”
Riel tells Alan that the two women she rescued from the cave that day have woken up. But they are not in a good state, and they don't even want to speak.
"That's for sure. ”
Alan discovers that Riel is the same as Dye Qi, both of whom are nervous.
"How can any girl want to share such a thing with you. ”
She reprimanded Riel.
"Let me ask about such an unspeakable thing. ”
Ailan knows that the same girl can open up a little bit.
The two rescued girls were placed in the church's bedroom, which was supposed to house refugees, but in a sense, they were refugees.
Instead of asking the older lady, Alan walked to the door of the little girl's room. She knew that the older she gets, the harder her psychological defenses will become, and the less useful information she will get.
Pushing open the door, this kind of action startled the little girl in the house, but she was relieved to see that it was a girl of the same age as herself who came in.
"Don't I have to go in?"
Riel asked again without thinking.
"Waiting outside!"
As he spoke, Ellen slammed the door shut. Leave Riel alone in place, unfigured out what's going on.
Alan sighed, thinking that it was really not easy to worry, and sat down opposite the girl. The girl trembled visibly the moment she sat down, and she didn't make eye contact with Ellen the whole time.
Really, why should I be nosy. It was only then that Ellen began to consider her motives for doing so.
But you can't leave them alone.
"That. ”
Ailan spoke first.
"Bah!"
As if stimulated by something, the girl suddenly shrank into a ball.
"Are you alright?"
Ailan subconsciously asked, it seems that she has been hurt a lot by the dwarf. For such a young girl, those experiences are bound to leave irreversible psychological damage.
"I... It's okay. ”
The girl seemed to be forcing herself to calm down.
"Would you like to eat something first?"
Ailan remembered that she had brought some snacks with her for recreation.
"Is that okay?"
The girl seemed to have forgotten her fears. Like a squirrel, he took the snack from Ailan's hand and returned to the corner of the room.
"Are you hungry? ”
"Hmm!"
Looking at the girl's indecent appearance, Ailan's heart gave birth to a kind of sadness. At this age, she should have enjoyed the same love from her parents and friends as she did, but now they are like people from two worlds.
Life is really fickle.
"Can you tell me your name?"
“...”
The girl didn't reply, but Elan saw that the girl looked at her the moment she asked.
Still not trusting enough. Alan thought.
"If you tell your sister, it doesn't matter. ”
At this time, the girl spoke again.
"My name is Landuo, what about you, sister?"
In the girl's heart, it seems that this girl with a steady demeanor must be older than her.
"My name is Ellen, Ellen Bell"
Then there was silence.
"My sister is here to ask me about that. ”
"Well, I'm sorry, but we need to know. ”
The girl looked at Ailan, and so did the latter.
"I see, I'm just going to tell you one. ”
As if accepting Ailan, the girl looked at her and said seriously.
"It's been a month since my village was attacked, and the knights responsible for protecting us have all been transferred to the front lines by the Empire to fight the orcs. ”
"Then the gnomes came, and they burned down our house, and my brother went to stop them, but never came back. ”
"I've been forced to do those bad things since I was taken away..."
Saying this, Landuo covered her mouth, as if remembering those disgusting, dirty, and unsightly things.
"I know. ”
Elan sat down beside her and gently stroked her head. This calmed the girl down a bit.
"Every day, we're in cages and only get out when they need it. ”
"Every day there is only a minimum of food and water, and many people from the same village and different villages die under their crotches. ”
"Say no more. ”
Ellen interrupted her, these things were unimaginable and unacceptable to her. Even the simple smell of it would make her feel sick to her stomach.
"My sister is such a kind person. ”
Lando looked at her with a smile.
"Then we were brought here, and we thought we were still living the same life as before, but then I met you. ”
She leaned in front of Ailan, her voice choking.
"Really, really thank you very much for saving us from there. ”
When he looked at her again, she couldn't stop crying, and bean-sized tears kept sliding down her cheeks.
"It's okay, it's okay. ”
Ellen comforted Randot who burst into tears, she couldn't empathize with what she had been through, but if it was just comfort, Ellen could still give it to her.
Riel stands in the doorway, but hears all the conversation in the room, which makes him feel sympathetic and angry. He leaned against the door, and with his strength he could not help those who were still imprisoned.
As if reluctantly, he knocked on the wall, and Riel left the church.
Lan Duo in the room cried for a long time, and Ailan kept holding her.
Dye Qi walked out of bed and looked at the dark clouds in the sky, feeling a little melancholy.
Manro was furious when he heard what had happened, but he couldn't do anything else.
When the rainy season came, the rain moistened the arid land, and even the streets grew vigorous grass, swaying with the rain and wind.
It was supposed to be a festival that should be celebrated, but because of the dwarf, everyone's hearts were clouded with a haze. The celebratory raindrops are just irritating noises at this time.
Charles Shenghua was ordered to go to the front lines to support the ongoing war. Even he told Manro before leaving that he wanted to celebrate the rainy season before leaving.
"So, it's not my sister who saved me?"
Lando asks Alan if this is the third day that Alan has visited her.
"Well, I just went with them. ”
Ailan didn't intend to lie, it was Dye Qi who rescued them all, not herself.
"But it was there at the time, and that was enough. ”
"I'm sorry, I've been misleading you before. ”
"Oh, no, I was saved by my sister. ”
Saying this, Lan Duo cupped Ailan's face and looked at her with a smile.
Unlike the first time we met three days ago, she can now laugh from the bottom of her heart, which can be regarded as a salvation in some sense.
"Can you take me to see the man who saved us?"
At this time, Landuo asked Ailan.
"Yes, but you're okay, aren't you?"
Alan knew that she would inevitably become the focus of discussion as soon as she went out, and it might be a mental torture for her.
"It's okay, if I can't thank the man who saved our lives, I'll be on the right foot. ”
Lan Duo said, smiling, but Shui Ling's eyes were full of tears.
"This was given to me by my parents and I will never forget. ”
"I see. ”
Alan took her hand.
"If you're scared, just hide behind me. ”
The two left the church holding hands.
"Hey!y!"
In the attic, Dye Qi is doing the rehabilitation actions taught to him by the doctor, after all, he has been in bed for a week without moving, and his body will be a little uncomfortable.
"Here's what.... Lung?"
Dye Qi seriously suspected that this was written casually when the doctor was idle.
Although he didn't want to follow this stupid book, when he thought of the doctor's murderous face in his smile, Dye Qi still endured it. Besides, is murderous aura what a doctor should have? Ran Qi has had this kind of question more than once.
"Dye Qi?"
Just as Dye Qi started his next move, Ailan came here with Landuo. And the action at the beginning of Dye Qi is to move the buttocks, which is commonly known as twisting the buttocks.
"Ah, no, that!"
Dye Qi picked up the "recovery guide" placed on the bed and explained to Ailan.
"The doctor told me to do this!"
"yes, okay, I get it. ”
"Please, before you say that, put away your wistful expression!"
may be at this time, he is completely dead in Ailan's heart. At least that's what Dye Qi thinks.
"Well, I'm here today mainly because of her. ”
Ailan leaned sideways slightly, and a head popped out behind her, making Dye Qi feel a little familiar.
"Wait, in other words, you didn't just see that humiliating look just now!"
Dye Qi suddenly grabbed Ailan's shoulder.
"Is that what you care about?"
Ailan was a little speechless. The atmosphere that had finally become serious suddenly became lively.
"Hey, hey. ”
At this time, Landuo suddenly smiled.
"It seems that my brother is also a good person. ”
Landor said.
"Hey, you seem to be..."
It was only at this time that Dye Qi recalled that one of the two women she rescued in the cave that day was her.
"Wait, maybe it's because I've seen something I shouldn't have seen that I'm going to kill me!"
They didn't have any clothes on that day, which is understandable. And Dye Qi didn't expect to see that kind of scene when he opened the door.
"Those who don't know are not guilty, right? ”
"What are you talking about?"
Ailan took the dye Qi, whose brain had stopped, to the side, and calmed him down a little.
"Actually, I'm just here to thank you. ”
Landuo bowed to Dye Qi.
"Thank you for saving us, although I can only thank you so much, but please accept it. ”
She knew that she had nothing to repay Dye Qi, and even this body was no longer pure.
"You're serious. ”
Dye Qi touched Landuo's head.
"In that case, everyone wants to be rescued, whether it's you, Alan, Riel or me. ”
Landuo looked at him incredulously.
"It's a bit of a flesh to say that, but people don't always want to be saved. Me too. ”
Ran Qi withdrew his hand and said with some embarrassment.
Landuo looked at him gratefully, it was the boy in front of him who saved him, and he didn't want her to reciprocate anything. Mom and Dad, will there be such a good person in this world, she thought, but she knew that this kind of thinking was meaningless, because such a person stood in front of her.
"May I ask you for one thing, Mr. Ranqi. ”
She shook Dye Qi's hand.
"Just call me dye, Mr. is a little unaccustomed. ”
Although it was called that every day when he was at Mawar's house.
"Can you please save this village, in the next attack. ”
"Sand gnomes, I don't think they're going to give up. ”
"Please..."
"I know..."
Dye Qi took Landuo's hand back and said.
"I'll figure it out with Manro, and besides, I've been asked to do it. ”
"Did anyone else come looking for you before us?"
Ailan asked if he wanted to dye Qi.
"yes, I didn't expect that. ”
He looked in the direction of the Charles' house and said.
"That Rare guy is more responsible than we thought. ”
