It was a beautiful day, and Peter and Eva had a rare half day to spare, but it turned out that Uncle Henry had given them half a day off in recognition of their recent outstanding performance.

Peter walked on the path that deviated from the main entrance avenue of Cromwell Abbey. He hummed the song he had just learned, and walked briskly along the path with his hands behind his back. From time to time, he stopped to look at the bright flowers nearby, and smiled happily.

Eva followed him from afar, smiling at him. I only feel very satisfied and happy to be regained.

She watched Peter play like a lively and happy little boy in the sea of flowers. I just felt an urge to laugh out loud, and the reason was, of course, that the way Peter looked now and the way he usually did in the monastery. Now he is playing wantonly to suit his age, and he usually has a serious expression and a straight face, abiding by the strict rules of the monastery, and living a very hard life.

Before they knew it, they were walking into the depths of the sea of flowers, away from the massive monastery complex behind them.

Just as they disappeared, a figure shrouded in black monk's robes stepped out of the monastery gate. The man looked up, looked in the direction, and walked to the side of the sea of flowers, looking at him, but the direction he was going was the same as Peter's.

Peter and Eva were oblivious to what was happening behind them, and they seemed to have forgotten all the troubles of the outside world as they wandered through the sea of flowers.

As he walked, Peter looked up and saw that he seemed to have lost his direction. He didn't know how to get back to his original path. Seeing his panicked appearance, Eva hurriedly walked up and asked softly, "What's wrong with Peter?"

Peter scratched his head in embarrassment, and he lowered his head and whispered, "Eva, we seem to be lost." ”

When Eva heard this, she hurriedly looked around, and after a while, she comforted Peter with a smile and a smile: "Okay, no, I know how to go." I thought something was wrong, why do you keep getting lost. I really don't know what to say about you. ”

Peter lowered his head and did not dare to look up at her, and whispered to himself, "How do I know?" ”

Eva didn't care what Peter was thinking, she looked at her surroundings until she was sure she knew the way back, and then she said to Peter, "Peter, see if there's a village there." Let's go over and see if it's okay. She said as she raised an arm and pointed in one direction.

Peter looked up and muttered, "It seems to be a village, didn't I hear Uncle Henry say that there was no one gathered at the monastery?" Didn't they all go to the camp where Uncle Edward was stationed, and why was there a small village here? ”

Eva didn't care what Peter was saying, she grabbed Peter and ran forward, saying as she ran, "What do you want to do, don't we know when we go over?" ”

Peter thought about it and no longer dwelled on these questions. He took a step and followed Eva, shouting, "Eva, Eva, let go of your hand, don't hold me." ”

When they reached a short distance from a nearby village, they were stopped vigilantly by a middle-aged man. The man looked to be in his forties, his face was full of wrinkles and scars, and he looked like he could be about 1.8 meters tall. Behind him was a little pink girl, probably only about five years old, who was hiding behind him, carefully hiding her body, and then secretly sticking out her little head to look at them in fear.

Eva's eyes were immediately attracted to the pink little girl, and she didn't even hear the middle-aged man's question.

"Who are you and how did you get here? The middle-aged man's eyes kept wandering over Peter and Eva, and he looked at their monk's robes and had some guesses. However, he did not let down his due vigilance.

He reached out a hand and pulled the little girl who was trying to come out of his back behind him. The little girl pouted dissatisfied, pointed to the monk's robes that Eva and Peter were wearing, and whispered something to him. However, no matter what she said, the middle-aged man just shook his head vigorously. The little girl squatted down angrily, hid her face in her hands, pouted her little ass, and ignored him.

Although the middle-aged man didn't see the little girl's movements and demeanor, he probably knew what the other party was thinking. He didn't have time to comfort the other party, the middle-aged man stared at Peter and Eva and asked again, "Who are you and how did you get here?" ”

Peter hurriedly spoke: "We are monks from Cromwell Abbey near here, you can rest assured that we have no malicious intent. We got lost and somehow got here, and if you don't welcome us, we'll leave right away. As he spoke, he kept coloring Eva beside him, but Eva, who had been working well before, ignored Peter this time. She stared at the little girl as if she had discovered some great treasure.

Peter could only raise his arm and wipe the sweat from his forehead, and a wry smile in his heart.

The middle-aged man wanted to let them go back directly, but before he could speak, the little girl who was squatting on the ground wanted to know what he was going to say, and tugged at his trouser legs. The middle-aged man looked down and could only sigh helplessly.

He could only look up at the two of them, and although he was very reluctant, in order to make the little girl happy, he had to say against his will: "Oh, that's it." So, if you don't know how to get back, I'll be your guide. A smile appeared on his lips, as if he was proud of his whimsical idea.

The little girl stood up and threw herself on him, and with a flurry of punches and kicks, he hurriedly dodged and kept saying these things in his mouth.

Peter and Eva laughed at the interaction between the two of them. Eva whispered to Peter, "When I see that little girl, I think of Zoya, who used to be like her." Hey, I don't know how she's doing now. ”

Peter blinked his eyes, and could only comfort her dryly, saying that Zoya would definitely not have any problems with the Marquises, and that when we leave the monastery, we will go to Bavaria to see the Marquis, and by the way, Zoya will be redeemed from the Marquis.

The middle-aged man managed to calm the little girl, and then he walked up to the two and said, "Let's go, or it will be dark in a while." ”

The two of them could only nod their heads and follow him back the same way.

Eva kept teasing the little girl along the way, and after a while the two became acquainted. The girl coaxed Eva with her sister was full of joy.

Peter and the middle-aged man smiled helplessly, chatting with each other.

Before they could get far, the little girl who had been held in front of Eva struggled and laughed. She jumped up and down to a sea of flowers in front of her, and shouted happily: "Brother Rennes, we have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Peter and Eva were stunned when they saw a man dressed in black walking across from him, and the man was also stunned for a long time after seeing them. Peter and the black-robed man opened their mouths at the same time and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

A big smile appeared on Eva's face, who could the black-robed man be if he wasn't Wren.
