Helen Leanne pushed open the tavern door with a pale face and staggered in.

"What's wrong, sissy Helen, you look softer than usual today!" The tavern bodyguard Arbuckle couldn't help but make fun of him when he saw him like this, "Did you just get a wife, and you are busy with 'errands' every day, and your legs are weak?"

The vulgar joke immediately caused a burst of laughter, and the drinkers laughed one by one.

It's only about eight o'clock in the morning, and it's just the beginning of the day. The people who will come to the tavern at this time are mostly idle second-rate people and the like. They don't dare to do anything bad themselves, but they make fun of others, which is their favorite.

Although Helen has a woman's name and a sissy little white face, she looks a little weak, but she is actually quite powerful. Normally, of course, they would never dare to make fun of Helen, but today, Helen's appearance is terrible at a glance, especially since he didn't refute it after being teased by Arbuck, which made the drinkers see his weakness. If you don't take this opportunity to make fun of him, when?

In the midst of laughter, Helen listlessly walked to the bar and said to the bartender, "Bring me a drink, spirits." ”

Alex, the mustachioed bartender, looked at him carefully and shook his head: "Your current situation is not suitable for drinking spirits, or even alcohol. If you have to drink something, I suggest you have some beer. ”

"The beer is too light!"

“...... So some sparkling fruit wines, that's all there is to it. Stronger wine is definitely not a good thing, we are here to make people happy, not to make people sick. ”

Helen sighed: "Then bubble bar, hurry up." ”

It only took him a moment to finish a large glass of wine, and then he wanted to buy it again, but the bartender refused to do so.

As an old Jianghu, Alex's vision is very accurate. He could see that Helen's current physical condition was a bit bad, and it was definitely not suitable for drinking too much. If Helen had something wrong drinking in the tavern, it would be a big problem!

Helen was annoyed and angry, and made a lot of noise. The bodyguard Arbuckle, of course, intervened to stop him, and the two of them started to do it in the tavern. As a result, Helen, who can usually barely compete with Arbuck, performed very poorly today, and was knocked to the ground by Arbuck in only three or two strokes and thrown out.

"Little white face, your situation is very abnormal today, let's go home and rest. When you're well, remember to pay for the broken table today!"

Helen lay on the ground for a few moments before she slowly got up. He looked around, and the townspeople looked at him with mocking eyes.

In normal times, he is afraid that he will make a lot of noise again. However, I don't know if it's because of his illness or because he was beaten just now, he looks weak today, and he doesn't even have the spirit to quarrel.

Standing still and resting for a while, he walked back to the market in the street.

In a town, the market is often the most lively place, and this town called "Mut Town" is not big, but the market is no different from other towns.

Helen went to the bazaar and sat down in a random place where she could get some sun.

The weather at the beginning of September was still quite hot, and it was said that no one liked to bask in the sun in this kind of weather, but Helen sat in the sun.

He didn't buy anything, he didn't sell anything, he just sat there and stared blankly at the bustling bazaar. From morning to noon, and from noon to evening.

He didn't eat, he didn't drink, he didn't speak, he just sat dumbfounded. If it weren't for the fact that a well-meaning acquaintance couldn't look at it, dragged him to a cool place for lunch, and remembered to bring him water twice, I was afraid that he could sit here and bask until he fell down from heat stroke, or even burned himself to death.

Fortunately, the sun is finally in the west, and the day is finally passing.

When it was time for the market to close, everyone but the guards had to leave, and Helen was no exception.

So he stood up slowly, left slowly, and walked slowly on the road at the urging of the guard.

The town of Mutter is not big, and it is said that you will be able to reach home soon. But he spun around on the road, as if he had lost his way, and did not go in the direction of his own house.

It wasn't until the sun had completely set and the moon had risen that the people of his family were in a hurry and came out to look for him, and they found him near the gate of the town and took him home.

Helen followed her family back with a blank face, washed her face and hands, ate, bathed, and slept.

He has only been married for a long time, and his wife is not a big beauty, but she is also gentle and considerate, and treats him very well. Because he didn't seem to be in good spirits today, his wife was still very worried and asked what was going on. And his parents even brought in the only doctor in the town to diagnose him.

"He's not sick. The doctor, who had more than half of his hair, examined Helen carefully before saying, "He's just...... A little tired. ”

"Tired?" Mr. and Mrs. Leanne looked at each other in confusion, "He hasn't done anything tired these days, so why is he tired after just taking a day off today?"

"I don't know, but his symptom is tiredness. "The strange thing is that, in general, a tired person must have stiff muscles—no matter what he does to be tired, the muscles that exert force are always a little stiff." But I just examined his arms, legs, and lower back, and found no stiff muscles, which is really puzzling. ”

"That'...... Is there any suitable medicine?"

"There is no medicine for fatigue in the world, he just needs to rest. The doctor said, "Rest well and don't let anyone disturb him." ”

So Helen rested.

The family was busy, but no one bothered him. They even deliberately did not speak, and their movements were as light as possible, just so that he could rest better.

But Helen didn't rest well.

He lay alone on the bed, his eyes open, motionless.

After a while, the wife went back to her room and lay down beside him.

Seeing him like this, she was a little worried and persuaded him for a long time. But he still refused to close his eyes, and in the end, his wife had no choice but to go to sleep first.

The night is getting darker, and it's time for everything to sleep.

Helen insisted on keeping his eyes open, but he couldn't keep them open all the time, he had to sleep after all.

So he still closed his eyes.

Then, he dreamed.

In my dream, it was about noon, the family was eating, the sun was shining outside, and the house was happy.

Opposite Helen's seat, however, hangs a mirror.

Reflected in the mirror was a hollow and dilapidated house, and there was no second person except Helen, who was sitting there.

He wanted to stand up, but he felt like a thousand pounds of weight pressed on his chest, he couldn't get up, and even breathing became more and more difficult, and the whole person seemed to be pressed like this until he died.

But in this case, he can still be distracted and look in the mirror.

The mirror moves slowly, reflecting the scenes from all over the room. I saw ruins everywhere, and I couldn't see the slightest bit of anger. Even the blind can tell that it has not been inhabited for at least ten or eight years.

Finally, the mirror is facing the outside of the house, reflecting the dark night.

Helen let out a loud cry and sat up.

It was already dawn and the sun was shining outside. But his face was pale, and he didn't even wear shoes, so he hurried out of the room and into the hall of his house.

Inside the hall, there is a beautiful mirror, which is one of the most valuable things in the Li'an family, which is said to have been left by an ancestor who was a soldier a long time ago, and is the trophy of his brave battle against the enemy.

As for why fighting bravely to kill the enemy can kill a mirror, it is a trivial matter that is not worth studying.

Completely ignoring her family's inquiries and worries, Helen rushed straight to the mirror, her eyes widened, and she looked into the mirror.

In the mirror, the ordinary scene of an ordinary person is reflected.

He didn't give up, and turned the mirror to look out of the house, and the mirror reflected the sunny street.

Helen let go of her hand in a daze, let the mirror hang back there, and sat down on the ground without saying a word.

After a while he went back to his room, put on his shoes, and went out the door again, walking up and down the street as if he had lost his mind.

His wife followed worriedly, fearing that something might happen to him.

When no one was noticing, there was a faint flash of light on the mirror that hung directly in front of the door. At that moment, the sight of ruins and darkness disappeared in a flash.

On September 5, 783 in the continental calendar, Panda and others came to this world to track down the whereabouts of the traversers who wandered here.
