"I don't know either."

Seeing Elantra's disgusted look, Alvin touched his nose in embarrassment, which was too detrimental to his image of being wise and powerful in this young man's mind.

"I only know her name. She is the little girl who stayed in the manor for a night last time. Her home is here."

"Oh, is that so? Tom, you are familiar with the countryside, go and call the village chief here." Elante also scratched his head, wandering around like this was not an option, so he had to find someone to ask.

"Okay, Master Elantra."

After a while, the valet Tom led a middle-aged man who was obviously neater and neater than the villagers and could even be called decent, and trotted over.

"Good afternoon, two distinguished gentlemen! Welcome to our Mog Farm. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Still far away, the village chief bowed and saluted with a flattering smile on his face. Although he had some small rights in this farm and was able to dominate, he did not dare to offend the "big shots" from the city.

"Don't be nervous, we are just here to find someone. A little girl named An Qi who looks about eleven or twelve years old is living here with you?"

But what Ivan didn't expect was that when he heard the name, the village chief's body visibly trembled slightly, and his face became a little stiff: "This"

"Why, don't you have this person in your Mog Farm?" Feeling that the village chief's reaction was a bit strange, Ivan also emphasized his tone.

"Not really, just"

"What's the point of hesitating?!" He couldn't stand his sloppy look, so Tom, the valet standing behind him, pushed him, perfectly playing the role of a noble and bad boy.

bang

Although he was pushed, the village chief who stood up again dared not speak out, but said coldly: "She and her former mother are both evil people! The two young gentlemen should not have anything to do with her.

Great contact!”

"Ominous man? What's going on? Let's talk about it!" Elantra, who was on the side, was not frightened when he heard this. Instead, he became more curious and asked quickly.

"Forget it, it's not difficult for you, we can find it ourselves." Ivan interrupted Elant's question.

He knew that Angel, who was judged to have special qualifications by the "Blood Hand Gang" human traffickers, must have abnormalities that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, especially in a rural place like this, where it was normal to be feared and ostracized.

Ivan felt that maybe he could seek the child's opinion. If she agreed, he could take her away from this place that was not friendly to her and start a new life in a different environment.

Help people to the end, and as a qualified "lucky person" if you continue to live in a place like this, it may turn into a terrible "misfortune"! This "misfortune" belongs to that child, and maybe to these villagers.

After all, the man-eating "crow hag" was originally a qualified witch!

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and walked out of the Mog Farm. In just a short time of speaking, the seabirds had already discovered a lonely dilapidated house on the outskirts of the farm, almost outside the farm.

In fact, the owl Bess has been following them, serving as a "base station" to compile and summarize the information from the seabirds to Alvin at any time. Coupled with what the village chief said, it is not difficult for Alvin to find the solitary and obviously excluded building.

The house is connected with Angel.

Da da da da da da

The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, and the village chief spat from behind and whispered to himself: "You have obviously been abducted, why did you come back? Isn't it better to just die outside like that terrible woman?!"

These words were received by Aiwen's sensitive senses with the breeze, and his heart moved. It seems that this girl's living situation is worse than he imagined.

Wow

The skinny little girl poured the half bucket of water she had finally fetched with great difficulty into her own small field. She gasped and breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the thriving green seedlings.

"Ha, we finally finished watering."

Even such a simple job is a difficult job for a girl who has been malnourished and thin for a long time. But in order to survive and not to beg for charity from others, she worked very hard.

"The little seedlings will grow up quickly, grow up quickly." After watering the girl, she squatted beside the field and muttered for a while, as if she was encouraging the seedlings she planted.

Perhaps, the lonely girl who was rejected by the villagers only had these "friends" who would not contradict her.

"Finish your work! Let's reward the hard-working little Angel with a sumptuous meal!"

The girl suddenly remembered something, cheered, turned around and ran into her dilapidated but very clean house.

lunch time.

In the warm sunshine, An Qi sat on a small bench, took out a hodgepodge biscuit made by herself using wheat bran, grass roots, wild vegetables and other "grains" she could find, and ate it with relish.

Her eyes, which were extremely large due to malnutrition, narrowed happily. It was obvious that this meager food had made her very satisfied.

When Alvin and his party arrived at the door of the girl's house, they saw exactly this scene through the low fence.

The skinny little girl held her biscuit like a little squirrel, eating it in small bites, not even willing to waste the crumbs that fell from the biscuit, catching it with her hands and licking them clean one by one.

It was as if she could gain a second happiness from these crumbs.

Seeing this side of the girl, Ivan seemed to be struck by lightning, and even his extremely powerful body as a formal knight was slightly shaken. Through the girl's slightly narrowed eyes, he seemed to see a pure person exuding brilliance.

soul.

Tenacious and optimistic, although humble, he has the vitality as tenacious as a weed!

"Ah, it's Brother Alvin?!"

A group of people came over on horseback without any concealment, and they already alerted the girl who was enjoying the "big meal" without opening her mouth. Seeing Ivan leading the way, he no longer cared about the unfinished food in his hands and cheered

Ran out.

"Brother Ivan, are you here specifically to see me?" It was obvious that the girl was deeply impressed by Ivan who saved her, and she recognized him just at a glance.

Facing the little girl's expectant gaze, Alvin could not have a second answer: "Anqi, I heard from aunt that you stayed one night and left the next day. Mogg Farm and Cowper Manor are not the same.

Yuan, I am on vacation today and just came to see you."

"Great, come in and sit down."

After instructing two male servants to look after the horses outside, Alvin and Elante followed the girl into the yard.

Without entering her low, dark thatched cottage, the three of them found a place to sit down in the yard.

It wasn't until this moment that Ivan took a serious look at this girl for the first time.

His hair is withered but not disheveled, his face has the color of long-term malnutrition, his thin and small body is wearing a burlap robe that doesn't fit so well, and his hands are rough with thick calluses that are inappropriate for his age.

Every detail tells the story of the hardship of life, but she takes care of herself very well. Her big blue eyes are clean and pure, and there is no trace of sadness or indignation towards the difficult life.

Completely different from the ignorant villagers on the farm!

Faced with the harsh treatment of fate, he did not lose hope. He had an optimistic nature and amazing resilience, surviving alone but tenaciously like a weed.

No matter how she looks, Ivan thinks Angel should be what an angel should be.

At the same time, I already had a decision in my mind.

Taking out the thank-you letter written by the girl that he had kept in his arms, Alvin asked: "It's beyond my expectation, An Qi, are you literate?"

Seeing the letter she had written, An Qi blushed slightly, lowered her head and hummed softly: "My mother gave it to me. She once worked as a maid in a noble manor and learned some skills from others.

.

But I didn’t study well.”

"A maid from a noble family? What about your mother?" Ivan was noncommittal about this identity and subconsciously asked.

Then he instantly realized something was wrong. If An Qi's mother was still alive, how could the child be in this situation? He immediately apologized to her.

"I'm sorry, Angie."

"No, it doesn't matter, it's all over." An Qi's voice was low. It was obvious that the injustice of fate had not left its traces in her life.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat silent. Elante, who was looking around in boredom and curiosity, was also infected by this atmosphere and shrank his head and stopped moving.

"Angel!"

"Huh?" Startled by Alvin's sudden voice, the girl raised her head and saw Alvin looking at her seriously.

"Would you like to get out of here?"

"What?" The girl was at a loss.

"I ask you, are you willing to leave here with me and become my student?"

This decision was made either because of a momentary throbbing in my heart, or because of an unknown premonition, or simply because I wanted to help this girl who was very destined to me.
