Chapter 10: Ellen and Alice
readx; Wren looked at Eva and Peter in front of him in surprise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info saw Peter looking at him with a smirk, and Eva looking at the two of them with a smile on her lips.
Wren's heart tightened inexplicably, and he hurriedly picked up the little girl who was trying to pull the hem of the monk's robe at his feet, ready to climb on top of him. The little girl sat happily on Wren's chest, and she said in a milky voice, "Brother Wren, why are you here now?" My dad and I have been waiting for you for a long time. By the way, these two people seem to be from your monastery, do you know each other? Dad didn't let me play with them for fear of being a bad person, I said how can someone who Brother Wren knows be a bad person, do you say yes, Brother Wren. She said as she reached out a hand and scratched at Wren's neck.
Wren smiled at the little girl with a pampering expression and said, "Alice, I have something to delay today. I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but not next time. The little girl, named Alice, grinned in satisfaction.
Eva saw that Alice's little face bloomed all of a sudden, and the smile was so cute, so warm and happy.
After reassuring Alice in his arms, Wren nodded to the middle-aged man on the side, and then asked Peter seriously: "Peter Eva, why did you come back here?" ”
Peter scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, showed a shy smile, and muttered, "Well, Eva and I are the one today, and the one who came out for a walk." I saw that this sea of flowers was good. Well, we got lost while walking in this sea of flowers, okay okay, I'm lost. And then I saw both of them before I knew it. Peter said dryly, what had just happened.
After hearing this, the corners of Wren's mouth twitched, and his heart kept sighing at his speechless luck. He sighed and explained a few words to the middle-aged man next to him, who first opened his mouth to argue with him, and then nodded his head and signaled that everything would be left to him.
Wren then introduced the two to each other, he pointed to the little girl he was holding and the middle-aged man beside him and said to Peter: "This is Alice, this is his father, well, you can call him Allen." Ellen, these two are my friends at the monastery, and you can just call them Peter and Eva. He seemed to struggle with how to explain his relationship with Peter to Allen, and finally had to vaguely use a friend to deal with it.
After Alice greeted the two of them crisply in Wren's arms, the group turned and walked towards the small village that Peter had just seen.
Along the way, Peter accosted Wren without words, and Wren ignored him when he had a match. Gradually, Peter felt that there was no fun, so he quietly closed his mouth and walked with his head down. Wren finally got rid of Peter's surprising enthusiasm, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Eva hugged Alice from Wren's arms early, and while she was watching little Alice look at each other's cute expressions, she glanced at the laughing interaction between Peter and Wren from time to time, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Soon the small village appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Peter hadn't had time to take a closer look just now, but he took advantage of the rare opportunity to take a closer look.
I saw that this village is not very large, and there are probably four or five thatched huts in total. Surrounded by the middle of the sea of flowers, it looks so elegant and quiet. In the afternoon sun, the golden glow smeared the earth. The sea of flowers swayed from side to side with the rhythm of the wind from time to time, and a golden gray color looked so dazzling.
Peter blinked subconsciously. A moment later, the group arrived at Alan's house.
Alice fluttered her little arms and legs and jumped off Eva. She ran to the side, found a water cup, and washed it carefully before she picked up a large kettle and poured some water. She held a glass full of water in both hands, slowly walked up to Wren and said playfully, "Brother Wren, give you water." With that, she waited for Wren to get the glass of water in her hand.
Wren took off his hood, and Peter's eyes were dazzled by his short blond hair. With a gentle smile, he reached out to take the glass, touched little Alice's head, and took a sip slowly. Alice's smiling eyes narrowed together, rubbing Wren's arm comfortably from time to time.
The middle-aged man named Allen smiled with satisfaction as he watched the interaction between Wren and Alice, he looked at Peter and Eva sitting on the side, and quickly walked to the side and got two glasses of water and handed them over.
Eva and Peter hurriedly thanked Alan. Then the two of them waited quietly for Wren to explain to them.
Wren played with Alice for a while, and little Alice looked tired. Alan hurriedly got up, picked her up, and walked to a room. Wren sighed, then drank the glass of water in front of him before giving Peter and the others a wry smile.
Peter shrugged his shoulders in response to Wren's expression, then took a closer look at the hut he was in.
It can only be said that it is relatively clean and tidy, and it can be seen from the dress of the room that Alan is still a very particular person. As for the rest, it's not worth mentioning, anyway, you can see that it is very difficult and poor. Thinking that in the past, he and Eva could also see that the other party often sneaked out of the monastery by himself, and Peter knew that there must be a lot of hidden secrets in this.
Wren seemed to be wondering how to explain this to Peter, and he scratched his head in annoyance and gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, Peter, you also know that Cromwell Abbey has a rule that no paupers are allowed to live near it. Yes, they can only go to the gathering points that are heavily guarded by the Holy See Knights. ”
Peter nodded earnestly when he heard this. He and Eva both sat down and listened.
"This little village was secretly built by me and Alan. Alan took advantage of the commotion at the last gathering point and sneaked in. For more than a year, we have carefully guarded this secret, but I didn't expect it to be discovered by you. Wren smiled bitterly.
Peter and Eva looked at each other, and Eva raised an eyebrow at Peter. Peter coughed a few times before he could stop speaking.
"It's not an option. Rennes, as you know, is a forbidden place to live in by the monastery. If you haven't been discovered now, you won't be discovered by anyone else in the future. Judging by the fact that Eva and I are here today, this is not a permanent place at all. He finished carefully observing Wren's expression.
Wren pouted with a handsome face, and he nodded in agreement with Peter. But in the end, he said, "No way, so let's do it first." Alan and Alice are my only relatives in the world. I must not let them get hurt in the slightest. ”
Eva asked, puzzled, "But isn't it very good to have a gathering point, which is closely protected by the Holy See Knights." ”
Wren shook his head as if he didn't want to hear it again, he just kept saying you don't understand or something. In the end, Peter couldn't bear it anymore, he slapped the table hard and said to Wren, "Don't you say how we can help you." How can we understand if you don't say it? ”
Wren was stunned, he blinked his eyes and looked at Peter, who was flushed, and he stammered, "It's not safe in the gathering place, there are my enemies there." Insecurity. The last commotion almost scared me to death, and those who couldn't be at the gathering point would leak out. ”
Eva and Peter looked at each other as they heard this, not knowing what was going on.
