Volume II: The Cry of the Outcasts Chapter XXVII: Anne

When Li Meng woke up, it was already afternoon......

When he woke up, his mind was blank and a little groggy.

stared at the soft blanket that covered his body in a daze......

Well, this place is strange......

Sister...... Where is Sister Vera......

There was another sharp pain in the head, and then it disappeared.

Li Meng decided not to think about the things that gave him headaches......

When he opened his eyes again, because he was lying down, Li Meng saw that the window was tightly covered, and at first glance it was a curtain sewn from the precious fabric.

Then, look up. Overhead, there was a crystal chandelier that emitted a dim light, this dim light was very gentle, and without hurting his eyes, it was just right for Li Meng to see the scene in the room.

Looking down his eyes, it was his feet hidden in the blanket, and of course, Li Meng could only see the blanket.

But the moment he saw the blanket, Li Meng was completely awake!

Because, on the blanket is lazily lying on his stomach, curled up his little hands, is sleeping with his head facing him, very cute cat!

The cat looks very quirky...... There is no hair on his skin...... Li Meng took out his little hand from the blanket, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it again......

Well, that kitten, like a doll...... However, Li Meng could clearly feel the sound of its breathing......

That's weird......

Could it be some kind of alchemical creature?

Li Meng could only think like this......

Two years ago, when he was just remembering, his brother Will once patted his chest and promised him that he would definitely bring him the kind of toy soldiers that can talk, dance, and make many movements on their own......

Li Meng's memory is surprisingly clear, and those previous pictures seem to appear in front of him immediately, very realistically, as long as he thinks of them......

Shaking his head, Lemon struggled to get out of the seemingly expensive blanket.

At this time, Li Meng realized that he had been changed into a moonlight robe that was very well cut and fitted at some point.

Just as Li Meng made this series of actions, the doll cat lying on top of him also woke up, and seeing Li Meng staring at it in a daze, the doll cat snorted dissatisfied, walked towards the door, and left the room.

"This cat, it's really weird......"

Li Meng thought so, and then got up from the bed, put on the shoes that I don't know who had put them here, stood up, and left the room.

Even though he didn't want to think about anything now, he knew he was hungry......

Hungry, hungry......

The place I was in was really strange - there were a lot of rooms, but there were no servants.

After leaving the place where he woke up, Li Meng saw some study rooms, conference rooms, prayer rooms, and some other messy places that he didn't know, but without exception, no one existed in these rooms......

It's empty, and it looks a little weird......

After a few curves, Li Meng could no longer find his way back.

Li Meng simply closed his eyes, focused, and let his nose help.

Suddenly, he smelled a sweet fragrance, it was the smell of bread!

Li Meng did not hesitate and followed the direction where the aroma wafted from......

And Li Meng didn't notice that not far behind him, the doll cat was carefully following him......

And after the doll cat, those rooms that Li Meng passed through were constantly blurring and becoming real again.

Suddenly, there were several more students of the Grand Duke of Glia in the study, and they were carefully reading these rare books that were rarely seen in the outside world.

Suddenly, there were several elderly stewards in the conference room, who were fighting over the use of the land's taxes, and they were fighting for tax increases and cuts.

In the prayer room, three more Protestant priests suddenly appeared, and they reverently looked at the statue of the Lord in the prayer room (Christ did not appear at the moment), wanting their gods to see their contribution to spreading the faith here......

......

Here, Li Meng couldn't feel the cold in his and his sister's residence at all, and the warm sunlight shone on Li Meng's face through the Bose glass, and he just closed his eyes and enjoyed the rare sunshine on weekdays.

Unconsciously, Li Meng was getting closer and closer to the source of the fragrance, and at the same time, the sunlight shining on him was getting less and less.

Time flies, is it going to be night?

Li Meng thought like this, but the hunger that came from time to time in his stomach made him have no time to think about it......

Finally, somewhere, Li Meng stopped.

He opened his eyes and found himself in a dimly lit room, like a dining room, but with only a long table, which was piled high with food, and all the light came from the candles on the table.

But at this time, Li Meng did not focus on the food, but on the person sitting at the long table, it was a girl about his size, who was holding a ham and bread and stuffing it into her mouth.

The girl looked at Li Meng curiously, and Li Meng also looked at her curiously...... I don't know why, Li Meng obviously thought that this little girl looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her......

The girl was wearing a small red waistcoat, and the curly white-gray mushroom head made her look a little playful and cute, but what caught his attention the most was the girl's eyes, red, pure, and in the candlelight, like the pure and immaculate ruby that her mother had left him.

In this way, Li Meng watched it for a long time, and then, he realized his faux pas - his sister taught him not to look at girls casually!

Thinking of this, Li Meng hurriedly withdrew his gaze from looking at the girl, and at this time, his stomach suddenly sounded with a "cooing" sound......

In order to hide his embarrassment and to break the subtle atmosphere of silence now, Li Meng coughed twice, pointed to the food on the table, and asked a little embarrassedly: "These things seem to be a bit much, you girls will definitely not be able to eat them...... My sister said that girls who eat too much will gain weight, and boys nowadays don't like girls who get fat...... You don't want to gain weight, do you......"

Li Meng spoke incoherently, and when he saw the delicacies on the table, he couldn't help but swallow another mouthful of saliva.

Li Meng's words were even more rude than his casual glance at the girl...... However, the girl apparently didn't care, she just lowered her head in silence and continued to eat.

After a while, she took out a free hand, waved it, and motioned for Li Meng to eat as he pleased.

After getting the girl's consent, Li Meng sat down on the high-backed chair opposite the girl, picked up a piece of fragrant cheese, and put it in his mouth.

Then, for some reason, he hesitated, suddenly raised his head, and said to the girl on the other side of the table, "Your eyes are really beautiful, just like my mother's rubies." ”

Hearing this, the girl raised her head and looked at Li Meng in surprise, as if she had discovered some miracle.

Li Meng had never been seen by a girl like this, smiled brightly, and continued to lower his head and began to destroy the food.

And in the girl's eyes, a smile appeared, and she also lowered her head and began to eat food.

A lot of bread, cheese, ham, and milk to accompany the meal, which made the two little imps very happy.

I don't know how long it took, Li Meng couldn't eat anymore.

He patted his bulging belly and nodded in satisfaction, but soon, his brow furrowed......

Because, the sound of teeth grinding bread crumbs still lingered in her ears, Li Meng leaned back on the high-backed chair a little dazedly and looked at the girl who was gobbling up in front of her, and she didn't stop when she saw it!

Sister Vera is lying! Who said that girls eat very little?!

Li Meng thought angrily.

The girl seemed to sense Li Meng's burning gaze, and slowly put down the bread in her hand, but her head was still lowered, refusing to look at Li Meng.

The two of them were in a stalemate like this, which was simply torture for Li Meng, who had always been active.

"Hello? uh, my name is Li Meng, what about you?" Li Meng decided to break the dullness, and spoke first, looking at the mushroom-headed girl in front of him with anxiety, for fear that the other party would not answer and fall into a more embarrassing atmosphere.

Li Meng clearly saw the girl sitting directly opposite, his shoulders suddenly shook, and then, Li Meng heard a voice from the girl's mouth that he had never heard before, and this sound also made him feel inexplicable......

Later, he named this strange sound ethereal, and he also understood that the feeling was called peace of mind.

"I am Anne, the daughter of the Duke of Glia, Anne is my first name, and Mokavi is my last name. The girl raised her head solemnly, and said with some sadness.

However, Li Meng still looked stunned, and still didn't come back from the girl's voice, but just responded dumbly: "I am Li Meng, Richard's son, Meng is my name, and Li is my surname." ”

When the girl saw Li Meng's appearance, she immediately lowered her head in panic, and she asked nervously, "Are you okay?"

When Li Meng heard this, he instantly sobered up, subconsciously reached out and rubbed his ears, and replied, "Well, of course, it's just that I ate a little too much." But I didn't expect your voice to be so good. ”

The girl raised her head again in disbelief, her bright red eyes, looking directly at Li Meng, who once again saw her eyes clearly, and her face. Li Meng couldn't hold back, and sighed again: "You are more beautiful than all the girls I have ever seen!

"Of course, but are you really okay? ”

"It's fine. Li Meng felt a little inexplicable, and he opened his mouth to explain: "You introduced yourself, of course I have to introduce me." ”

Anne patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up reassuringly.

At this time, Li Meng suddenly found that this girl named Annie was even a head taller than himself.

Anne walked slowly up to Lemon. Li Meng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, just like when he saw Sister Vera for the first time, and before Li Meng jumped off the chair, two cold little hands touched his cheeks.

Li Meng sighed in his heart, the movement on his legs was faster, and he kicked the chair over and was about to slip away, but this time he miscalculated, Anne's strength was unexpectedly great, and the consequence of kicking the chair over was that his head was still stuck in Anne's little hand.

Li Meng closed his eyes tightly, and left behind the advice that his eldest brother Will had told him not to close his eyes in the face of danger.

In the room, such a funny scene happened.

In the dim light, a little girl who happened to be a head taller than the little boy held the little boy's head with her little hands and curiously pinched his face into various shapes. This is what Vera used to do to Li Meng, after all, what woman can resist a cute little fat man? It is a very normal reaction to knead him in his hands like a doll, right?

"(Let me go!)" Li Meng cried angrily, but his voice was distorted by the pinched cheeks.

Anne seemed to notice that something was wrong with her, and carefully placed Lemon on the ground, then smiled apologetically.

Li Meng sat on the ground without standing firmly, only snorting angrily in his mouth, and said dissatisfiedly: "None of the women are good (the experience of this sentence comes from Fiona, and automatically ignores Vera). Of course, he wisely did not say it out loud.

Anne naturally heard this, but she just looked at Li Meng suspiciously: "Can you really speak to yourself in front of me?"

Li Meng replied angrily, "Otherwise, you can hear me now, right?"

Anne gently stretched out her hand and helped Li Meng rub the swollen area just now, which made Li Meng simply close his eyes and hum comfortably.

He didn't notice the smile on Anne's lips.

......

In the room where Lemon was resting, Glia in the form of Theodore was comforting Vera who, after returning to her and her brother's new residence, found that Lemon had suddenly disappeared.

"Don't worry, he probably woke up, got up and ran out on his own. Rest assured, Vera, I have arranged for the servants to look for him. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Theodore......"

"Well, you stay here for a while, and I'll go out and see how things are going first. ”

After leaving Vera crying, Glia came into the hallway, and a shadow flashed, and Spieg suddenly appeared behind him.

"Dusk has come, Lord Gloria. I've asked the servants and knights to search the whole castle, but I still haven't found Lemon......" Spiegel's hoarse voice sounded in his ears, and his voice was a little surprised...... After all, there were so many people in the castle that it was impossible to go through every place, including the wine cellar in the kitchen, and not find a single child.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, sir, I'm sure...... In addition......"

"What else?"

"As we searched for the little guy named Lemon, I was surprised to find that your ...... The daughter, Akasha, also seems to be missing......"

"What?!"
