The orphanage in a big country is an almshouse, and the orphanage in a small city is an exchange, just a tool for people to make money. Sumire herself didn't know that she was sold to the orphanage by her biological parents, and thought that she was simply abandoned, and the orphanage was like an alternative prison, she couldn't get out, and she couldn't live well, and the children ate leftovers from the dean and other powerful people, and wore clothes donated by the people, and most of them had to be dragged to learn the life skills of servants. But externally, the dean whitewashed Gao Jie, as if he was really such a good person. Most of the boys end up being sold as coolies, and most of the girls end up being sold to prostitution parlors, and of course, the children may also be favored by the powerful, bought to make toys, and few can survive. If you are lucky, you can be bought as an adopted son or daughter, which is already the best result.

Sumire is not very smart, but in order to survive, she works hard to learn farm work, knitting, and cooking, and she has no feelings for her biological parents, and there is not much difference between life there and here. The same nightmare future, the same miserable present, just walked from one cave to another.

Finally, someone fell in love with Sumire, a slightly crazy lady, who is said to have just lost her husband, so she doesn't care about her appearance.

"It's her, she looks honest and capable, oh, two thousand Yaofeng coins."

"Good! Readily. ”

Sumire was bought by this lady and sold for about a month's worth of food for an ordinary family. The surrounding children looked at Sumire who had been taken away, their expressions were complicated, the children longed to leave here, but they did not want to leave, everything depended on whether the unattainable dream could come true.

Sumire came to this lady's house and had a full meal for the first time, multigrain steamed buns and porridge, all of which were hot, and she had the concept of eating for the first time.

Madame's family has a lot of land, which is used to grow a plant called Wuhuan grass, which has extremely high medicinal value, and it is difficult to grow this plant, it is too picky about the land, but it happens that this land is suitable. The people in the village didn't know.

When I was a girl, for the sake of insurance, my wife planted ordinary crops with Wuhuan grass, which happened to cover up Wuhuan grass, but one day a foreign gentleman noticed it, and it happened that Mrs. was very good-looking, so she deliberately hooked up with her, and the result of her romantic debt was that she couldn't extricate herself, but she didn't take away the land. Married verbally, after a few years of playing with the aristocracy, he patted his ass and left, for him, there can still be a lot of land and people to look for casually, it doesn't matter at all. Madame couldn't pull her face, so she could only tell the people in the village that she was killed when she went out, and after a few years, she couldn't divert her thoughts and lost a lot of weight, so she began to point the finger at the nobles and thought of a very naïve plan.

She knew the identity of her "husband", and she had also been to the mansion, but was ruthlessly kicked out by the doorman, so find a young and beautiful girl, let her take his heart, and assassinate him again, then her wish would be fulfilled. Or hook up with other nobles and let that nobleman compete with the negative person. Such an idiot dream is expanding in her heart, and she wants to spend money to hire a killer, but she doesn't meet the economic strength or beauty conditions, so she has to have the idea of cultivating one by herself to better control it.

After Sumire probably understood the adoptive mother's thoughts, the already confused life had another layer of thin veil, and she didn't know if such a life arrangement would really be as she wished, and she didn't know if she would really live to that day.

However, the judgment of his physical condition has changed after a few days, although Mrs. is very obsessed, but she is also really willing to spend money on Sumire, not only did physical therapy, many small problems have been solved, major problems are also improving, everything is going in a good direction. There is clothing and housing, although it is not so good, but the general level has been reached, and it is already a very happy level in Sumire's eyes. As for food, there is not much meat in the village itself, and the price of meat is extremely high, and there is relatively cheap meat in the village next door, but it is not open to outsiders. Madame would still take her to hunt some game, improve her food, and at the same time train her to use daggers and knives, although she can do it quickly and ruthlessly, but Sumire still hesitates after three years.

"You're still too kind."

Madame only dropped such a sentence, but she didn't blame her, I don't know when she started, she put more thoughts on Sumire than the negative person. From Sumire, she felt the feelings of her deceased relatives treating her, and the irrepressible love.

It was supposed to be like this, until a certain day later, when the lady broke her leg and couldn't walk in the field for thirty or forty days, Sumire took care of her, and it happened to be the harvest season, and after harvesting the crops and herbs, despite the dissuasion of the lady, she found a day to sell it by herself.

Sumire carried the crops that could not be filled, and carried a space bracelet of joyless grass, and ran to the merchant in the next village and town that the lady knew well to sell, and the merchant was also very happy, and the price was higher than usual.

Sumire is not good at talking to people, so she can only nod her head and thank you, put away the money like a stuffy gourd and prepare to leave.

"Xiao Jin, be careful on the way back, it's not safe lately, remember to shout when you encounter danger."

The merchant told her many times, Sumire nodded honestly, her thin body jumped hard, the large basket that did not match her on her back, the midday sun was particularly dazzling, and she decided to buy a bottle of water to relieve the dizziness caused by the stuffiness.

How...... It seems like......

After a three-hour journey and a five-minute break from dehydration, Sumire set out on her way home again, causing her to be dizzy before she had walked for ten minutes, and the scenery began to spin in front of her.

"Little girl, do you want to come to my house to rest for a while~"

Sumire crouched in the shadows under the eaves, no longer able to break free of her big hand.

"Go!"

"Tsk, why are you again, how can I always meet people that the garrison can't meet."

"You kid! It hurts! ”

"Rope one, two, three, four, five, on!"

Sumire lost consciousness and fell to the ground unconscious.

Cool.

Sumire slowly opened her eyes, and the magic guide she had never seen before was working hard in her direction, and the cold air suitable for the temperature of the human body flowed in the room, and she sat up suddenly, and the dizziness hit again.

"Don't be in a hurry to get up, you're weak now."

The kind old man held the strap of the basket and was busy modifying it to make it more suitable for Sumire.

Sumire didn't need to say anything from the old man, she fell back on the pillow, and after the tense nerves were released, fatigue and weakness engulfed her like a tide, and she had a splitting headache.

"Are you awake? Drink this medicine. ”

The boy came in with a bowl of green, which looked like the juice of the herbs crushed and boiled.

Sumire stared at him warily, and the boy smiled, letting her sniff the medicine and not take a sip of it herself.

"I don't think I would have done it in such a stupid way if I really wanted to hurt you."

Sumire's furrowed brow slowly stretched to accept reality.

"You just lie down, I'll feed you a little first, and then rest for a while, and then you drink it yourself."

Sumire made a compromise, her face was tilted to a position convenient for the boy, and she drank the potion little by little, and it was cool, and the fatigue that had accumulated recently was miraculously relieved.

It must be expensive.

Thinking of this, Sumire shook her head and signaled that she would not drink.

The boy didn't force her, and put it firmly on the bedside table.

"You fainted from overwork and heat, and then you met our traffickers who were being bountied."

"Did you help me? Thank you. ”

Sumire weakly expressed her gratitude, although she was captured, it may be similar to the life in the orphanage before, but it is estimated to be worse.

"It's okay, you don't look like you're from here."

The boy took the basket from his grandfather and carefully placed it on the ground.

"Well, I'm from the next village, and I'm here to sell things."

The boy pondered for a moment and looked at Sumire's state.

"When you have the strength, we will send you back when you go home, otherwise it should be difficult for the family to explain."

I don't want to be paid.

Sumire's careful thinking was seen through by the boy, who hurriedly waved his hand.

"It's not that I want you to pay you, it's that I'm afraid that you will be scolded for going back at a different time than before, and your physical condition may not allow you to go back."

The old man patted him on the head and said proudly.

"He's such a warm-hearted kid, and he doesn't have any bad intentions, so he's very popular with the people in the town."

Sumire glanced at the clock next to her, only to realize that it was already afternoon.

"How long did I sleep?"

"Four hours, oh, are you going to eat?"

The boy went out and came back with a bowl of boiled porridge, which also had a faint smell of medicinal juice.

"You really need to make up for it."

"No, no, no! I can't eat it! ”

Sumire sat up in a hurry, her blood surging up, and her eyes went dark.

"Hmm...... If you're worried about getting paid, it's not necessary, because it's leftovers, and if you don't eat it, you'll have to pour it out, so why don't you help save food? ”

I have been working every day for the past five days, in fact, the food at home is almost eaten, all the good ones are eaten by my wife, and I have only eaten three meals in the past three days, and people are fluttering when they walk. Still a child, I couldn't help but nod.

"Feed you."

The boy deliberately kept his distance from Sumire, politely helped her up, and fed her spoonful by spoonful.

"There's meat......"

Sumire's voice was small, but the boy heard it, his expression unchanged, and his heart twitched.

"Eat slowly~"

After the old man finished speaking, he shook his head with a smile and walked out of the room slowly with his hands behind his back.

Sumire finished eating the porridge, and during this time, the boy was tricked into drinking all the medicinal juice, and now she feels that her mental state is much better, and she can't help but blush.

There are still people in the world who will give unconditionally to others, but do not ask for anything in return.

Sumire looked at the boy's back, confused.

The boy didn't ask Sumire much, but when she was about to leave, he helped her out of bed, sat in the magic guide boat, and followed Sumire's instructions to the next village.

"It's ...... What? ”

It was the first time Sumire had seen such a magic device, sitting on a vessel like a small boat, much faster than she could run.

"Oh, the dinghy I made, the means of transportation, my family likes it."

The boy hitched on the edge of the dinghy and expertly maneuvered the direction of the dinghy.

"Phew! Douglas! Why did you bring a girl to sit on this today? ”

"Uncle, don't laugh! Send this girl who was almost trafficked back to the next village! ”

"Good, good! Come back soon! ”

"Okay!"

The dinghy sailed out of the town's entrance, and the guards talked to the boy familiarly.

"What's your name?"

"Forget, my name is Chongge."

The boy gestured in the air, and Sumire nodded, pointing at herself.

"Sumire."

"Okay."

Until Sumire got off the boat, Chongge didn't ask another word.

Madame's home was decent in the village, but it paled in comparison to Chongge's home, and the anxious Madame even leaned against the head of the bed and looked out of the window until she saw Sumire and Chongge returning with her.

After Chongge finished telling Madame about the matter, Madame hugged Sumire's arm tighter.

"Thank you for saving my daughter, don't be really upset."

"It's okay, it's just a little help, if you need to, you can come to me again, don't bother you, I'll go first."

Madame stared at Ge Ge and left, leaning into Sumire's ear.

"We're getting out of here."

Sumire keenly felt that something seemed to have changed in her mother, and her aura, which had softened before, was now much sharper.

"Our family's fields have been robbed."

"Is it the village chief?"

"Hmmm......"

The village chief used to have a strong interest in his wife, but his wife didn't eat oil and salt, and this time he directly took away everything she relied on for a living, as for what she was thinking, she knew it in her heart, but she had a clear boundary in her heart.

"The house will be gone soon, let's go to the town next door, didn't the boy say that he would look for him if there was something? We'll go tomorrow. ”

Sumire looked up at Madame, who didn't look at her, and the madness in her eyes was something she had never seen before.

"After that, you go and deal with the boy, and I will support you in dealing with him. Such a young magic guide maker, whew~"

"Got it......"

Sumire was reluctant to do so, but she couldn't fight her mother, and she became interested in Douge herself. What kind of person is a giver who does not ask for anything in return? For the first time in her life, she found color in black and white.

Sumire takes her "mission" and slowly approaches Chongge's life, and the contradictions that she can't break free from are rooted in her heart, just like her mother.
