It’s an unremarkable agricultural town in the northeast of Fanxing. You can’t even find this place on the map. Its name comes from Lord Sekarlia, who opened up this land thousands of years ago. This unknown nobleman thrived in this place.
This land has become inhabited. If we want to trace the bloodline, 80% of the residents have the blood of that Lord.
It wasn't until half a year ago that this agricultural town was registered in the latest starry map. Before that, even the most detailed military maps only recorded continuous fields here, as if the fields would grow food on their own.
As soon as it dawned, Martha had already gotten up and folded the quilt. Perhaps because she was getting older, she slept less and less in the past year, and sometimes she would lie quietly in bed until dawn. She went to the yard outside to get water from the well to wash herself.
It's not that there is no running water, but well water is free of charge.
There was a touch of coolness in the air. Martha prepared the coarse grains and concentrated feed, then carried the food bowl and water basin to feed the chickens. After arranging the chickens' breakfast, she watered the sailboat kudzu. Occasionally, she would take the sailboat kudzu.
The younger leaves are used for cooking.
Then she drank a glass of light salt water, put on a thin coat and a pair of clean running shoes, and stepped into the morning fog.
It is not the busy farming season and it is not factory working hours. There are no people on the road, only the occasional barking of dogs. Although it is an agricultural town, Secalia is no different from the countryside. Apart from two grocery stores, there are basically no other facilities.
To purchase fresh food, you need to go to the market an hour away.
When Martha ran through the grocery store, a middle-aged man sitting outside who seemed to have been drinking all night yelled something drunk at her that no one could understand. However, the friend next to him immediately stopped him and the two of them laughed.
He laughed. Martha was used to it and ignored him.
We jogged around the fields, but it took us more than half an hour, and we didn't turn back until we reached the road entrance.
This road was only connected to Secalia six years ago. Before that, you had to walk on a dirt road for half an hour to get to the nearest road. When we returned, not only did it not get brighter, but it got darker. Martha felt bad.
It was going to rain, and sure enough it started to rain as soon as she got home. She quickly put the clothes hanging outside into the back room and closed the chicken shed to prevent the chicks from running out. After her work, she was soaked all over and couldn't help crying.
Sneezed.
Martha was so nervous that she quickly changed into a set of dry clothes and made a cup of hot tea. She waited until her body warmed up before preparing breakfast. Two eggs, a carton of milk, three slices of bread, chicken breasts and bananas. To be honest, Masha
In fact, Sha had no appetite. She had always had a bad stomach and usually preferred to eat vegetables, but she still forced herself to finish the breakfast.
In the past, she should have gone to work in the factory by this time. Although her daughter persuaded her to resign many times, Martha did not feel tired at all from work. She had been working for decades and could work with her eyes closed, so there was nothing tiring about her.
?What’s the point of being bored at home all day? It’s better to chat with the co-workers.
She knew that her daughter wanted her to enjoy life, but her time was not valuable anyway, so why not use it in exchange for some money?
Drinking hot tea to eat, Martha looked at the rain curtain outside. Dark clouds flooded the sky like tides. In the past, it would never rain at this time, but after the sky collapsed, the weather changed and the temperature was no longer the same as every three months.
Changes include the time of sowing, the types of crops, the harvest season, etc. The world that Martha once thought was eternal and the life she had been accustomed to for decades was completely changed by the collapse.
But Tianbeng changed not only the world, but also her life.
It was raining outside and it was impossible to exercise, so Martha had to postpone her morning exercise plan to the afternoon. She put on her glasses and turned on the Miracle Bracelet. At this time, a message popped up.
She squinted her eyes and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. It was a photo sent by Adele. She defeated her first opponent in the meteor tribulation and was so happy that she asked her to share the news.
Martha carefully edited the message of congratulations and sent it back, but Adele did not reply and was probably still sleeping. Although her daughter's classmates would contact her from time to time, Martha was most familiar and fond of the lively and cheerful Adele.
The girls in the city were more noisy than the girls in the country, which reminded Martha of her daughter's naughty childhood.
She once thought her daughter was well-behaved and soft-tempered, until other parents found her
It was only when she came to the house that she realized that her daughter's minor injuries were not bruises. She did not believe that her daughter would bully others, but she was not a capable and strong-willed good mother. She could only lock her daughter in the room to prevent her from getting involved in the adult world.
He bowed his head and apologized to the other parent, asked for forgiveness, but turned around and his daughter ran out, took two rice bowls and knocked them from the beginning to the end of the village, shouting Sterling, I'm sorry, I hurt you, you
The eight-year-old please forgive my five-year-old." Everyone looked at their daughter and smiled. The other parent was quite satisfied. Only Sterling chased her crying and asked her to stop talking.
From then on, no one came to Martha to complain, and she didn’t know whether it was because her daughter had learned well, or because other children didn’t dare to say that they were being bullied by girls a few years younger.
Martha clicked on "Basic Education" on the light screen and took out pen and paper to continue yesterday's lesson. This miracle bracelet was used by her daughter before, so naturally this course was also taken by her daughter before. Martha only learned the simplest general education when she was a child.
She has never been exposed to any knowledge that is not necessary for buying groceries, so it is quite difficult for her to learn basic courses. A one-hour course takes two hours to fully understand.
This is because she does not need to take the exam. If she takes the exam, she has to take one of the "improvement courses". When her daughter does not have farm work after she is seven years old, in addition to watching movies and TV shows, she often spends the whole day studying, just to learn everything.
these courses.
Martha actually didn't want her daughter to live such a hard life and be born into a family in such a remote area. As her daughter, she was born and grew up.
My eldest daughter has had many hard times.
She hopes her daughter can at least have a happy childhood.
But as her daughter grew older, she became less and less aware of what she was thinking, and her daughter's temper became worse and worse. Once she disturbed her daughter's study, and her daughter went crazy and knocked over the water glass while scolding you for why you always
When she came to bother me, she complained that it was already very difficult for her to be born in this family. She only wiped the ground dry and only dared to secretly wipe her tears.
Martha also felt that she was not worthy of such a good child. No matter how hard she tried, she could not provide good conditions. It would be better if her daughter was born in a better family, so no matter how her daughter scolded her, she felt that she deserved it. But her daughter
For the next two days, she followed her to do farm work without saying a word. At that time, Martha secretly made up her mind that she must not be a drag on her daughter.
So now she quits her job, works hard to exercise, changes her eating habits, and relearns basic courses.
Others thought she was crazy because of the shock, but Martha's goal was very clear and simple, just like her daughter's when she was a child - she wanted to become a magician.
Because only magicians can enter and exit the void gate to other countries.
Martha didn’t know if she could leave Sekarlia, nor what conditions were required to go to other countries, but no matter what, she had to become a magician first. Only by achieving this step, could she leave this life for a few years.
Ten years of land, searching for his daughter in a foreign country.
She couldn't keep wiping her tears and being a drag.
The wind and rain outside were getting stronger and stronger, and the rain hit the glass windows. Martha took off her glasses and rubbed her sore eyes before continuing to class. At this time, there was a sudden strong wind outside, and she was a little worried about whether the chicken shed would leak.
, as soon as I stood up, I heard a knock on the door from outside.
Who? Reporter?
There was a time half a year ago when many strange reporters came to her house to interview her, but they soon stopped. However, only strangers would knock on the door, and neighbors would call her by name.
But it was windy and rainy outside now, how could anyone come to the door at this time? As Martha hesitated, the knocking on the door became more and more urgent. She called back and walked to the door. When she held the door handle, she felt an inexplicable throbbing.
flooded my mind.
When Martha opened the door, the uninvited guest immediately burst into the house with the sound of wind and rain. He was wearing a windbreaker and a hood, with half of his face hidden in the shadows. He was sneaky and didn't look like a good person, but his clothes were extremely dry. A drop of water
None were brought in.
However, the appearance of the stranger failed to attract Martha's attention at all. From the moment he stepped into the door, Martha stared blankly at the girl he was carrying behind him. The girl also wore a hood, with red hair leaking out from both sides, quiet.
Lying on the stranger's back, like a little girl tired of playing.
Martha held out her finger,
Before touching the girl's face, he pulled it back like an electric shock, as if he was afraid of popping this bubble-like dream.
The stranger closed the door and thoughtfully lifted the girl's hood, revealing her stunning sleeping face.
But in the eyes of the mother, no matter how old or beautiful the child is, he will always be as innocent and cute as a baby when he sleeps. Martha carefully caressed her hot face, her nose moved slightly, and her expression was exactly the same as when she was a child.
"Where is her room?" Ash asked.
Martha gave him a complicated look, turned around and said, "Follow me."
