"Bell, say something you don't like to hear, do you think that if you become a soldier and go to war, you can avenge your family?" said Ann Elsa earnestly.

Bell frowned and pondered for a long time, he was born in the village of Loire, he had the most contact with soldiers, and his dream as a child was to become a good Imperial soldier. But I don't know why my grandfather forbade his offspring to join the army, and if you want to learn martial arts, you can only be an Orion.

Now that the Loire has undergone such a big change, the borders of the empire are in jeopardy, and a major war may break out at any time. Where should he go, who is already homeless, and whether he should join the army for the hatred of his family, or for the most familiar sense of security for himself? He was confused, after all, he was only a fifteen-year-old child.

Looking at Bell, who had been silent for a long time, An'esa gently hummed the melody from her childhood memory, soothing and melodious, like a gurgling stream, like a flowing water silent, soft like a mother's care, warm as the temperature in her arms.

Bell wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stared at her, the corners of his mouth full of happiness.

At the end of the song, An Esha's dark green pupils became more crystalline, and a sweet smile swept away the complicated taste.

"Thank you, Annetha. I'm in a much better mood. Bell bowed his head deeply as a sign of sincerity.

"Would you like to sleep for a while?" Anelsa did not delve into the previous topic.

Bell shook his head, "Tell me your story." ”

"My story?" An Elsa was slightly stunned, her expression seemed a little gloomy, if it wasn't for the captain's order, she would still be willing to share her thoughts with this cute big boy.

"My story is long, and I'll tell you more when I have a chance. Well, Bell. Can you sit closer? Annesha hugged her knees, her torn dress not protecting her from the night's cold.

"Well, when are you going to go back?" Bell leaned over to where Aosha was sitting, and by the way, took off his hoodie and put it on her lap.

Ann Elsa smiled and thanked her, "I don't know either." The captain didn't give me a deadline, so I guess I could have stayed with you a little longer. ”

"We're going to live, aren't we?" Bell's gaze fell on Annetha's face, knowing that her decision wasn't just about completing the mission.

"Hmm," Ann Elsa pursed her lips and nodded.

Time passed quickly, the sky was already white, the birds in the forest began to feed, and the small animals began to live, and the two of them ate a little bit, and continued to march in the direction of Messier.

Looking forward through the dense forest, the view gradually widened, and several houses were scattered in a small clearing. Shepherds at the cattle pens are preparing forage, several women are chatting by the well with buckets, and residents are greeting each other as they open their windows to ventilate. Everything is so harmonious.

Looking at everything in front of him, Bell didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed, and the morning before yesterday was as peaceful as the Loire. Either way, it should be safe here, and the two of them came out of the dense forest and waved their hands towards the village.

"Look! those two people are hurt!"

"Oh my God, it's a woman and a child! What happened? Poor man. ”

"They still have weapons in their hands, they must have encountered robbers! I will say that those soldiers at the outpost are not reliable at all! The youngest daughter of the Lumisqi family was taken away by the robbers!"

"We're ......" As soon as Bell spoke, he was picked up by several villagers, his feet off the ground.

The villagers carried it back and said, "We know, we know!

"The child is fine! Don't worry! When you get here, it's like you're at home!" the villagers next to him were still comforting.

Ann Elsa was wrapped in a sheet that was hanging out by several peasant women.

"Oh my God, I must have met a hooligan, look at the torn skirts! Look at Lu Sifu again! I won't let you go to bed tonight!" the sturdy woman escorted An Elsa into the house.

Covered in blood, they suddenly became the focus of the village, and the enthusiastic villagers placed them in their own homes, washed and bandaged them briefly, and some villagers brought old clothes from their homes to the two.

After some tossing, the two sat on the long table in the center of the village, the hot vegetable porridge was placed in front of the two, and dozens of villagers, men, women and children sat in a circle on the benches around them, watching them quietly. The middle-aged woman, who claimed to be the village chief, sat across from them, looking at her with concern as if she were looking at her own child.

The two looked at each other silently, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at you quietly eating, how can you have an appetite. Bell coughed softly, "Thank you." ”

The villagers said they didn't need to care, and the village chief took over: "Our village, far away from the outpost, robbers and bandits are more rampant, and people are often injured and rescued by us, so you don't have to be too polite." ”

"Has anyone else been to the village other than us lately?" asked Bell, with some eagerness.

"Well, no. There have been no outsiders in the village for many days, and even a few villagers have disappeared, and now everyone is afraid to go out. "The village chief is dark and dull.

Hiss~ Bell gasped in his heart, thinking of last night's ambush, and seemed to understand something. Continue to ask, "Is it a robber?"

The female village chief nodded, "Five days ago, Lu Mi Siqi took his little daughter to the outpost to buy things. By night, they had not returned, thinking that they had stayed at the outpost. The next morning he was found dead at the entrance of the village, dead at that time. ”

Ann Elsa frowned, and Bell listened carefully.

"We had just buried Lumiszi at noon, and my husband was going to the outpost to ask for help in finding the missing girl. But two teams of sentries came to the entrance of the village, saying that they were arresting robbers, how could there be robbers hidden in our village. After some questioning they left, and we asked for their help in finding Lumischi's youngest daughter, who they said would report the matter to the outpost. The female village chief shook her head helplessly.

The two sentries, Bell and Annesha looked at each other, not in a hurry to talk.

The female village chief continued, "After the sentry left, my husband was not at ease and decided to go to the outpost the next day to inquire about Enrui. Enrui is the youngest daughter of Lumiszi. ”

Speaking of this, the villagers unconsciously began to sigh, and the female village chief waved his hand and continued, "After he went out three days ago, he never came back, and then two more people went to look for him, but they didn't come back. We don't dare to leave the village now, you are the only ones who have come to our village these days. ”

There was not much fear in the dim eyes of the female village chief, and she did not seem to be afraid of the threat of robbers, and some were more concerned about her husband. "I don't know if it's possible that you've met him, what's going on out there now?"

"Well, I don't think we met your husband, sorry ma'am. Bell was almost certain that her husband had been killed by soldiers who had ambushed her.

"Well, you came with weapons in hand, and you must have been engaged in a fierce fight with the robbers. The people in our village will also be in a hurry, but we don't know how many robbers there are, and we want to get in touch with the outpost......" The female village chief asked sincerely.

Bell looked at the eager eyes of the villagers and didn't know what to do for a while, "Those bandits are very powerful, and we don't know what the situation is like now." I think if I wait another two days, I might be fine. ”

The village chief sighed silently and shook his head at the villagers, "Let's wait for two more days, hey......" The onlookers gradually dispersed, and only Bell and Anesa were left on the long table.

"Those ambushers have already been killed by us, why don't you tell them?" asked An'esa suspiciously.
