Chapter 0396: A Journey to Find Your Mother
Vasily tossed and turned in bed at night, unable to sleep all night, a bottle of liquor became his best friend, and the next day before dawn he made a decision to go to a distant place to find his mother, maybe from his mother he could feel the long-lost affection, living with his mother was not a bad thing, he felt that living with a pig was much better than a damn drunkard.
Early the next morning he secretly took some bottles of his father's spirits, and went out before dawn, out of the snowy village, and looked back that he would never return again.
Walking on the snow, the thick snow can submerge people's knees, walking is quite difficult, even at the time of the year Vasily was exhausted, every day the distance is very short, in order to avoid being caught back by his father, he chose a road that no one has walked, the four fields are vast, and there is no figure in sight.
After a week's long walk, the snow made the young man, who had never been far away, lose his way and lose his way, like a lonely wild dog in the moor, cold and hungry, and by this time the dry food and cheese he had brought with him, and the liquor he had stolen from his father to keep him warm.
If he doesn't find the right direction and get out of the way in three days, he'll become a dry skeleton in the wasteland, and even food for the beasts here.
But Vasily, who had experienced cruelty, longed too much to see his mother, and this belief made him stronger than ordinary people's stamina.
He walked for four days, he was not dead, but he had no strength, and at night the wind and snow had become heavier and heavier, and he could not even dig a snow pit in the snow to protect him from the cold and wind, so he could only lie on the snow, let the madness and the snow gradually bury himself, and then die, and now all his mind was living with his mother, sitting in a warm room, eating hot vegetable soup, and his mother touched his head dotingly, but unfortunately he had not seen his mother, and he could not even fill in the blurred face。
When he thought he was going to die in this sweet dream, he put his warm hand on his forehead, and heard a very faint voice. "He's still alive, what a lucky young man. ”
When he awoke again, he was lying in a snow pit, wrapped in a thick blanket, driven away by the cold, and beside him sat an old man with a messy beard and gray hair, with a thick book in his hand, muttering something softly.
Sitting up and seeing the food on the side, the hungry Vasily grabbed it and devoured it, but he had been hungry for too long and almost choked to death because he was in too much of a hurry.
The old man only reacted at this time, walked over and opened a hot water kettle, there was snow in the hot water kettle, his fingers lightly tapped the hot water kettle, and some strange sounds were muttered in his mouth, and soon the originally cold kettle began to shake slightly, until the snow in the hot water kettle melted, and slowly bubbled white water vapor.
It was hot water, and it was possible to make hot water without a flame, and Vasily had never seen such magical power, and was so stunned that he even forgot to breathe.
The old man took the dry food in Vasily's hand, soaked it in hot water, and then handed it over. "Eat it now, you can quickly replenish your stamina. ”
Vasily took it and began to gobble it up, and the dry food soaked in hot water was like soft mashed potatoes, which was very easy to swallow.
When he was full, he drank the hot water and returned the kettle to the old man, who put it aside. "Kid, you need to rest, and you should be back when you wake up. ”
Vasily was now full of respect and awe for the old man, and lay down on the ground and began to sleep, until he woke up the next morning, when the old man had already made breakfast, and there was no flame, but there was a roasted rabbit, which exuded aroma, and had not eaten meat for a long time.
Vasily feasted and wiped his mouth at the end, he wanted to talk to the old man, but he didn't know what to say, because he had a low self-esteem as a child, and he rarely spoke, even with some of his friends.
"Where do you want to go, kid?" said the old man, who had already begun to pack his bags, apparently to continue on his way.
"I'm going to my mother. Vasily told the old man everything about everything, hoping that the old man would take him out of here.
"Well, that sounds like a miserable child, I can take you out of here and go to your mother. The old man did not hesitate to agree to Vasily's request.
The two of them started on the road, and along the way, the old man did a lot of strange things, such as Feng Xue would actively avoid the old man as if he had eyes, and the old man was like a god in the sky.
After about two days, I finally walked out of the cold and frozen wasteland and entered a new land, where the grass was abundant, the lakes were innumerable, and the smell of warmth was everywhere.
By this time the old man had already told a lot of things, he was a bard, wandering around, and it was a complete accident that the two were able to meet.
At that time, supernatural powers were not yet fully controlled by the Holy See, especially the bards who were always accompanied by wizards, and their whereabouts were erratic, and it was always difficult to figure out their specific situation, and the Holy See had always been quite troubled in this regard.
After following the bard and seeing a lot of magic, Vasily has gradually come to accept these strange things, and his heart is gradually opened, those childhood shadows are slowly disappearing because of the company of the kind old man, and more importantly, he should not be able to see his mother soon.
He believed that his mother would accept him and give him a good life, even if it was just to provide him with a place to live, and then he would work hard to earn money, it didn't matter, the important thing was that his mother would never treat him like an alcoholic.
After crossing a wide river and entering the Eternal Continent, the two of them traveled together in a warm climate, when he heard from a merchant that his mother was in a small town called Whistler.
It took a month to finally arrive at what the merchants who had visited here called the small town of Whistler, which was located on the banks of a river called the Galilee, and the people of the town were quite friendly.
Here he said goodbye to the bard, and Vasily began to inquire about the whereabouts of his mother, whose name was Kristina, from his drunken father, who was always angry in the middle of the night. "Christina, you bitch. ”
At this time, Vasily would plug his ears and endure the foul language until the drunkard fell asleep in the middle of the night.
It's just that the people of the town are always a little unhappy when they hear the name, and the original friendliness will disappear, and Vasily doesn't know why.
Finally, in a grocery store, he heard from his mother, and the grocery store guy said this. "You say the bitch who was married home by the local baron? I know of course that she is now as much of a scourge to the town as the baron. ”
It seems that his mother's reputation is not very good, but Vasily thinks that it is because of what happened to his mother that he will become what she is now, and when he finds his mother, he will definitely make her a kind person again.
Following the instructions of the grocer, Vasily soon found the apartment of the local baron, who had a very bad reputation, a large boxy manor with grass and paths in the large meadows.
He tried to enter, but was stopped, and the men guarding the door refused to allow Vasily, who was like a beggar, and Vasily cried out in despair: "Please tell Ms. Christina that I am his child and ask her to see me." ”
He left the manor in despair, and could only continue to wait for news, he had no money to stay in the hotel, so he could only spend the night on the street, and it was good that the climate here was still very warm at night, and he fell asleep sitting on the street corner.
Suddenly I felt someone touch me, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the old man, the old man who had brought him here, and the old man looked at the young man kindly. "Kid, it looks like things aren't going well for you, come with me, I'll take you to find a place to sleep. ”
Sleeping in the hotel with the old man, Vasily had a lot of problems. "Sir, do you think my mother will not want me and think that I will ruin her good life. ”
"No, every mother loves her child dearly. The old man responded. "But you should change your image, maybe it will work. ”
Early the next morning the old man took Vasily to buy new clothes, dressed him up like a gentleman, and gave him some money.
Vasily, who had changed his image, was still a little unconfident, and he came to the gate of the manor, and when he wanted to say hello, the servants greeted him. "Dear sir, you must have made an appointment with Viscount Calvin yesterday, please come with me. ”
Vasily was surprised by such a change, as the old man said, people only look at the surface, never see your heart, this is the reality.
Follow the subordinate into the manor, the manor is not large, but in Vasily's opinion, the manor is big enough, and the big one will get lost in it.
He was taken to the parlor, and after he was seated, a servant poured hot tea, and the warm tea had a smell of aroma, he had not come here to find Viscount Calvin, but his mother, and if he continued to sit here and wait, everything would be over, and he would have to find it himself.
After the men had left, he got up and searched for him in the great fortress, and now no one would stop him, and he would salute respectfully when he saw him.
If he lives here in the future, he can always enjoy such a life, just like the prince here, and the excited Vasily can no longer hold back his mood.
When he went outside a room, he heard voices inside, the sound of rapid gasps and moans, and Vasily could of course hear what it was.
Drunkards usually spend the night in their homes with some warblers, and the wheezing sound can always be heard on the other side of the wall that is too dilapidated to be soundproofed.
He listened outside the door for a while, and then he heard a woman talking. "Calvin, you have to go and meet the guests, or the guests will be impatient. ”
"It doesn't matter, no one in the town is going to give me face, they all want to make money from me. The man's thick voice came out.
