72. Little blind man

Gradually, the smoke of the war broke down, new homes began to be built, and the survival of human beings has always been tenacious, they settled on the wreckage of the war, and it did not take long for everything to return to the same as before, they never cared who ruled the land, but as always, they "submitted" to the lord of the land, prostrate under their feet.

There are even some areas that have been isolated for too long, with despicable bloodlines, and only a few people can appear in a few decades, with soul thoughts, which means that most of them will be so mediocre all their lives, oppressed until they die.

Hildhari is such a place, it is not poor, maybe it is rich for the lords, but for the people of the slums, no matter how beautiful the natural scenery is, it can only be hell.

And those aristocratic young men and girls who have no troubles, are not oppressed by the trivialities of life, and spend their days shuttling through the streets, asking their slaves to steal the fruit from the trees to eat. There was only one small school in the whole city that was controlled by the lord, and there were few teachers, and the tuition fees were very expensive, so the people in the slums naturally did not spend so much money for their children to go to school, and only the children of the landlord's family with a little money could enter.

Although the parents verbally forbade it, there were always a few children who were curious, and ran to the slums, which were dark and damp, and from time to time there were a rat or two, and the inhabitants of it were all blind, and the houses were low and low, huddled together, without distinction between you and me, with moss and vines on them, and it looked eerie, but those children only took risks.

"Grandma, I want to go back. Ash didn't like it, she couldn't see things clearly, but she also knew that it was dirty, and she pulled the arm of the old man next to her, "It's not good here." She missed everything in the country, and she didn't want to stay here for a second longer, even the air seemed to stink.

"Elsie, there is no school in the country, and you can't grow up to know nothing. The old man locked the door and helped her outside. Elsie's eyes are not good, she can't see too dazzling light, she can only close her eyes, let her grandmother pull her away, she wears a light blue dress, this is the most beautiful clothes in her wardrobe, but compared to those fancy girl's clothes, it is really dwarfed, like an extra daisy in a bouquet of roses, plain but particularly eye-catching.

"But Grandpa is here, it's very hard. "I have to get up very early every day," and what's the use of learning these things, they said, I should stay at home and get married at my age. ”

"Elsie, Grandma doesn't want you to be like that. ”

Elsie silently swallowed the other words back into her stomach, her grandmother was like this, always telling her things that others would not approve, which sounded particularly strange to outsiders, but Elsie never felt it, but had a feeling that it was like this.

"Oh. Elsie hugged her arm and grinned, "Grandma, you're so nice to me." ”

"Elsie, you don't need to worry about anything else, grandma is just your granddaughter, who does you hurt if you don't care. ”

Elsie's grandfather was a watchmaker, and after selling his hometown's house, he took his wife and granddaughter to settle down in the city, and in addition to his granddaughter's tuition, the rest of the money could open a small watch shop.

Elsie was actually very uncomfortable, if they stayed in the country, they would be quite comfortable, and the old age of her grandparents would be even better, but for her to go to such a place to suffer.

It's not good at all here.

But for the sake of her grandparents, she had to put down roots here, no matter what means.

Elsie pursed her lips and followed her grandmother. She also sent her to school, paid the money and left, because there was still work to be done.

The teacher who took her was a middle-aged man, his face was unhappy, and he didn't want to say a few words to her, and Elsie didn't intend to please him, and with a tense face, the two of them walked through the small garden in front of them, one after the other. "Since you're here, don't make trouble. Don't even provoke those rich young masters and young ladies, they are not easy to get along with, and I won't care about these things. ”

It's not that he looks down on her, it's just that he simply doesn't want to see what kind of non-conflict happens in the class, and he has a headache.

Ash "looked" at him in surprise, "Got it." ”

Before I got to the door, I heard a lot of commotion inside.

"I heard that your eyes are not very good, so I arranged a position in the front for you. Arriving at the door, he raised his hand and pointed to the empty seat, then walked into the classroom with a straight face, "It's just a new classmate, Essie." ”

A smile squeezed out of Aixi's delicate face, obedient and skillful, "Hello, I'm Aixi, please advise me in the future." ”

She couldn't make out the faces of the people below, but she could still hear a few sneers, laughing at their dresses, at her rustic, even at their own accented pronunciation. But the expression on Essie's face was so sincere throughout, as if she hadn't heard it, she was so docile and kind, but the teacher couldn't stand it.

"Alright, sit down. ”

He is only in charge of the class, and he doesn't care about anything else, even if he is bullied to death, it has nothing to do with him. Yes, I can't care if I make trouble, I don't care about people's lives, this class has the son of the lord, who is the lord? It's the Emperor of the Land of Hitheri, what does his son do, who dares to care?

"Dirt buns from the slums. "How could Elsie not know what they were talking about, but when she heard this, she didn't say anything, she wouldn't quarrel with those people, she wouldn't fight, all she could do was curry favor.

"Seems to be still blind. ”

"What kind of school is a blind man coming to school, it's a joke. ”

"Hey, little blind man, what's the matter with your eyes?" Ash looked up and saw what seemed to be a boy in front of him.

She looks good-looking, her voice is sweet and soft, coupled with a harmless smile, and there is a little overwhelmed blankness in her eyes, which makes the boy who is still in adolescence blush inexplicably. "When I was a child, I accidentally fell, and I couldn't see clearly. Aixi's voice trembled, and she lowered her head, revealing a slender and beautiful, white neck, and her voice was dyed with a hint of grievance.

This poor look, how can people say anything more. The boy immediately coughed uncomfortably, "This, that's it." Seeing that she bowed her head and was silent, she added, "I'll just ask, you, don't think about it." Then he fled.

Elsie lowered her head, as if she was sad, and the smile on her face was clearly not like that in a place that others could not see.

She's smug, and she looks like she's laughing at him, you see, this idiot.

Elsie is very smart, she has always used her strengths, she is like a vine, she is soft and weak, she needs to cling to something else to grow, but over time she will devour it.
