The little girl lowered her head and clasped her hands on her chest, squatting at the bottom of the cave in the ruins, unable to see the specific image.

Brian looked closely again, and found that the little girl was wearing a thin pajamas, half covered in blood, and there was something like a "big pillow" next to her, protecting her inside.

Feeling the faint light, the little girl slowly raised her head, revealing a small and delicate face, and a pair of pure and transparent golden eyes.

At this time, this lovely face was covered with dust and a little bit of congealed blood.

But even so, it still can't hide the innocence of those eyes.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the little girl just looked up but didn't speak, Brian suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and tried his best to show a smile.

He is very introverted in his usual life, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he hesitated to ask: "My name is Brian Morris, and I am a magician." What's your name, little girl? ”

The little girl lowered her head and moved closer to the "pillow" beside her, and after a while, she made a sound like a mosquito waving its wings.

"My name is Penny, I'm 4 years old, and I go to school at the 'Goddess of Nature Church Academy'."

Penny spoke in a very small voice, and if it weren't for Brian becoming a "pro", she might not have been able to hear clearly.

Hearing the reply, Brian's heart softened, and the little girl's answer was very formal, and she seemed very well-behaved and sensible.

How could such a child encounter such an unreasonable thing?

After a little sadness, Brian asked with concern, "Penny, are you cold?" I'll go get you a thick coat, it's not good to catch a cold at this time. ”

As he spoke, Brian moved, but he had barely looked up when he heard a voice coming from inside the cave.

"It's not cold, my mom is holding me next to me, it's not cold at all."

Mom?

Brian was puzzled, he didn't see an adult just now, how could a mother suddenly appear?

And even if he didn't see it, the mother would have taken the initiative to speak up.

Confused, Brian leaned the lantern against the entrance of the cave, and carefully examined the situation in the cave, and found that there was indeed no one else but the little girl.

This made him ask, "Penny, where is your mother?"

The tiny Penny leaned on the "pillow" on the side and said with a satisfied face, "This is my mother!"

"Huh?" Still puzzled, Brian moved his face closer to the entrance of the cave and saw through the passage the size of a head.

At this glance, he realized that the pillow-like thing was more like a person holding Penny in his arms.

That's Penny's mom?

Brian was so shocked that he couldn't say anything for a while, and waited for a long time before he said slowly: "Penny is not cold, but Penny's mother will be cold, I think for the sake of your mother, brother, I'd better go get a thicker dress."

Penny thought about it, felt it made sense, and nodded slightly.

"Okay, thank you, brother!"

Then the words fell, and the figure outside the cave mouth left, but the light remained undiminished.

Suddenly, a translucent drop of water fell from Penny's forehead. She reached out and wiped it with her sleeve, tilted her head and said, "Is it raining?"

……

Inside the ruins, Brian leaves the little girl and soon finds Rudolph Gladstone and explains his request.

"I need a thicker dress to keep the little girl out of the wind, and if I can, I'd like to ask for some sweets, little red flowers like the choir."

Knowing what the young man in front of him wanted to do, Rudolph agreed without thinking about it, and directly sent someone to fetch these things.

At last he asked, "That hole is very small, and there is a good chance that the thicker clothes will not fit, so I will send someone over to get a slightly thinner one."

Brian raised his right hand, and a card appeared out of thin air in his hand: "I'm a magician, it's not difficult for me to do something like this."

"This ......" Rudolph looked a little surprised, but he was still suspicious.

He is a university physics teacher, and he knows a little about magic, but it is a performance that uses various principles to create illusions and illusions, and it is all prepared in advance, can such things really help in reality?

He didn't ask questions, he didn't raise doubts.

The two of them waited like this for about five minutes, and all the things Brian needed were brought over.

After receiving a large bag of items, Brian thanked him and hurriedly ran back to the mouth of the ruins where the little girl was.

He shouted at the entrance of the cave, "Penny, I brought the clothes, I'll give them to you, you have to catch them!"

"Hmm!" Penny under the hole nodded heavily.

The next moment, she saw a pure white dove fly in from the hole in the ruins. And on the pigeon's feet there was a small bag made of linen.

Penny reached out to catch the flying pigeon, and showed enough curiosity about the pigeon to be very happy.

Then she opened the bag that hung on it and saw a few candies inside.

In this era, candy is no longer a rare thing, but it is still not something that ordinary people can afford, and many times it is only occasionally bought when encountering festivals to add some atmosphere.

Penny looked at the candy in her hand and thought for a while, instead of opening the package to eat, she looked up at the strange brother outside the cave and asked, "Brother, are these candies for me?"

Brian outside the cave nodded slightly: "Of course it's for you, but you have to take out a candy and hold it in your hand first, and then my brother will change the clothes into your hands."

"How did it change?" Penny asked, sticking her head out as she held a candy in her hand.

Brian smiled, "Remember?" Brother, I'm a magician, and I can change just by chanting a spell. ”

As he spoke, Brian pretended to say a few words in Old Wick, and quietly exchanged the clothes in his hand with the candy in Penny's hand.

Penny suddenly felt her little hand loosen, and a piece of clothing appeared in her hand like an inflated balloon.

"Wow! Mom, look!"

The little girl, Penny, looked at her mother in surprise and shared her joy to herself, regardless of how her mother ignored her.

After a moment of joy, Penny put her clothes over her body, opened another candy in her hand and put it in her mouth, and she lay down in her mother's arms with a smile on her face.

Suddenly, Penny noticed that her mother's body was a little cold, so she pulled her clothes a little more in her mother's direction......

Seeing the scene below the cave entrance, Brian left the ruins silently and returned to the rescue work.

……

Soon after, there was a commotion in the crowd that someone had passed out in the rain.

The volunteer doctor soon arrived for treatment, and saw a young man with black hair and brown eyes fainting on the ground, surrounded by a large crowd.
