Demacia.

A small border town.

The moon is high, the weather is mild, and the cicadas are constantly chirping.

The surrounding scenery is not pretty, but there are grass and trees, and a piece of turquoise, which makes the summer atmosphere full of atmosphere.

On the edge of the fence outside a remote hut, Luqi leaned to the side, dressed in sackcloth and bare-chested, looking ahead and sighing sadly.

"Alas......"

The hut behind him was built for an unknown number of years, looking a little old, and the faint candle light was accompanied by a slight cough, flickering and flickering.

Soon, the cough began to intensify, as if she was going to vomit out all her internal organs, and just listening to it could feel that the owner of the voice was suffering in pain, she was already seriously ill.

Hearing the cough, Luci sighed again, and at this moment he wanted to light a cigarette and ask.

How did you get mixed up so badly?

The coughing woman in the room was his mother, named Mellie, and this was the information he got through some memory fragments in his head.

This was the case when Lu Qi crossed over three days ago.

The original owner seemed to want to jump off the cliff to commit suicide, and then was picked up by Lu Qi who crossed over, but Lu Qi didn't expect that there would be an old mother who was seriously ill in bed to take care of just after passing through.

The most outrageous thing is that the family has long been unable to open the pot, and now the two pieces of bread under him are still exchanged by Lu Qi for today's temporary workers.

And now, he not only has to fill his stomach, but also take care of the sick number inside.

"Why don't you leave?"

Hearing the sound of coughing behind him again, Lu Qi couldn't help but have this idea in his head, and he shook his head again to quickly dispel it.

There are some things that you will regret for the rest of your life.

Even if he didn't have any feelings with the woman in the room, there was the same blood in this body as her.

"Is it really going to betray hue? The grocery store owner's daughter almost made it clear to me. ”

Lu Qi grabbed the dog's tail grass that he got out of nowhere, and put it in his mouth with vicissitudes in his eyes, which may also be a choice that he will regret for the rest of his life.

When I thought of the grocery store owner's daughter's two-hundred-hundred-fast three-hundred-hundred-year-old body, her fat smiling face, and her greasy thighs, she had reflective thighs.

Luki swallowed hard.

"No, let's think about it."

After all, he couldn't break through this psychological defense, so Lu Qi decided to take one step at a time.

He spent two days making two improvised traps and placing them in the mountains, and he should be able to catch something today, and he will go and see what he will see later.

As for the rest, let's wait until I'm dying of starvation.

"Ahem..... Ahem...... Lotch ...... cough cough cough ...... You come in. ”

The coughing sound accompanied by his mother's call caught Luki's attention, and he turned his head and replied, "I'm coming, Mother." ”

And he walked into the house.

The distance itself is not far, and after responding, I have actually walked to the door, and when I open the door, I saw a small space inside, and the mother with a little black hair mixed with white hair was lying on a bed board, her face was pale and thin, and her eyes were weak.

She was only in her forties, but she was tormented by illness like a seventy-year-old man, looking extremely pitiful.

Lucci walked up and crouched down, "Are you hungry?" ”

Melly turned to the side forcefully, looked at Lu Qi with a pair of weak eyes, and said hoarsely, "No, I just wanted to talk to you." ”

"Say it, I'll listen."

Lu Qi replied that he didn't have much to do now, and maybe he could hear some shocking stories from this unfamiliar mother.

"For so many years, you have worked hard to take care of it."

Melly looked at Luki with some distress.

Lu Qi immediately replied: "It's not hard." ”

He really didn't work very hard, but if I had to say that it was hard, his stomach was very hard, and he often woke up hungry.

"Do you ever regret being my son?"

Melly's eyes suddenly changed a layer of meaning, making Lu Qi a little confused.

But he still told the truth: "No regrets." ”

The person who can answer this question has already hung up, then he must have picked up good things to say, after all, it is not a problem for him to say something that comforts the dying person.

"I have some regrets, I regret being your mother."

It's just that Melly's next words made Lu Qi a little foggy.

She seemed to have become many years younger all of a sudden, and her eyes no longer looked at Lu Qi, but at her past: "I am an extremely selfish and stupid woman, and my biggest regret is to give birth to you, so that Ling has been displaced since she was a child, and she has not lived a good life for a few days."

It's all because of the decision I made, and only now do I realize how stupid I am, and I didn't even take your opinion into account.

I originally wanted to bring this secret into the coffin and guard it for the rest of my life, but in the past few days, I have gradually figured it out.

I don't have the right to do that, because it's your life. ”

After a long pause, Melly looked at Lu Qi again, and said so many words at once made her look even weaker, she stretched out her hand, grabbed Lu Qi's hand and held it, and then said with difficulty: "On the wall behind the cabinet behind you, there is a secret compartment, there are two things in it, leave the necklace, and the other one is used as travel expenses, go to the royal capital...... In fact...... You...... It's ......"

At this moment, Melly's hands fell weakly, and the brilliance in her eyes collapsed and became dull.

Lu Qi was directly stunned, and tried to push: "Mother, finish speaking, what am I?" ”

Special meow, I had the strength to say so many things before, can't I say important information first?

He looked at it, and Melsha was probably gone, and this walk was probably a lifetime.

But it's good to be gone, although she is only forty years old, this disease has tormented her for many years, and there will be no more such pain in the future.

According to what she had said before, Luqi pushed the cabinet open, fumbled for a while, and finally found a secret compartment with difficulty, reached in, and quickly grabbed a black sandalwood box.

This box seems to be a bit expensive.

"Could it be that my mother used to be a noble lady and eloped with a commoner? Now let me go back to my family and take back everything that belongs to me? ”

Ludge's mind began to conceive, he opened the sandalwood box, and sure enough, there was a delicate necklace inside, on which there was a round and crystal clear gem, which was as beautiful as an angel's eye, and inside the gem was three prismatic stars, which looked like a trident.

This chain is worth a lot of money, so why not take it out and sell it as soon as possible so that the family can live a good life?

Lucky muttered to herself, but like Mellie said, it was her choice.

There are two items in the sandalwood box, and the other is a gold bracelet, which looks very well made, and should be able to sell for a lot of money.

Lu Qi is going to sell the gold bracelet directly according to Melly's words, and then take the necklace to the royal capital.

He was intrigued by the story behind the necklace and the world he was in.
