"Really? What did you see?" Art looked at the little girl curiously. She must be the youngest among the children. Her slightly tanned face showed that she did go out often.
"At that time... my mother took me away for a long, long time." The girl grabbed the clothes of an older boy next to her uneasily and said after a while: "After walking for a long time, I was very tired.
, my mother carried me and walked until we reached a very beautiful place..."
"The house there is like something out of a storybook. It's tall and big, and there's a little garden that's more beautiful than Grandma Xima's. The clothes she wears are also very beautiful. There are many, many long frilly skirts. I also want to
want……"
After listening to the girl's description, Art was able to determine where Apple Blossom went at that time.
Tall houses and beautiful gardens. Except for the South District, there is no place like this in Fit City.
But the question is, why did Apple Blossom go to the South District? It can’t really be to buy groceries, right? Maybe there is a friend of her owner there who has been silently supporting the opening of the orphanage in the past few years? But it feels like it’s not very likely.
, if that's the case, Apple Blossom should also be repaired, instead of being delayed like this until now.
"Is there really a place like that in the city?!"
"Sounds great!"
"Where did she take you and what did she do?"
Other children seemed to be a little curious about this. Most of them had probably never been out of the North District, and they didn't know that opposite the North District, there was a place where everyone had no worries about food and clothing, and had enough gold coins to enjoy life.
Lansha, the only resident from the South District at the scene, lowered her head at the moment and remained silent without saying a word. Mamo on the side held her hand with some worry and whispered something to her.
, it seems that he should be comforting her. Although Lansa sometimes behaves lively and willful, in the final analysis, she is still a sentimental girl.
"Well, my mother only took me there once. Later, my mother said that I had grown up and had to stay with my brothers and sisters, so she never took me out again." When she said this, the little girl slowly muttered.
She opened her mouth, obviously she was very dissatisfied with Apple Blossom's words and actions.
"Then what did she do wherever she took you? Do you still have any impressions?" Art then asked.
"What are you going to do... Well, I don't really remember..." The little girl shook her head, silently reminiscing, and then added: "I only remember that I was in a very big, palace-like building at that time.
I waited in front of the house for a while, and then my mother took me home. On the way, she said that we could make an exception and cook more delicious food tonight."
Is it a palace-style building? Art pinched his chin and searched in his mind, but he couldn't find any information about the palace. Anyway, at least he didn't see any palace in Fit City. Even the city lord
The mansion also looks like a large villa, let alone any other houses...
But at least the source of the funds was confirmed.
"But speaking of which, have any of your children left here in the past few years?" Art suddenly thought of something and asked tentatively.
"No, never!" It was a little bit beyond Art's expectation. As soon as this question came out, the children surrounding him answered in unison, and several older children also added: "How many years?"
There were a few adults who wanted to buy Mimi, but Apple Blossom’s mother simply refused!”
"That's right, Mimi doesn't want to leave at all!"
"Not only that, Apple Blossom's mother also brings other children here all the time."
"Well! Mother Apple Blossom is my favorite person, and I will never leave her!"
The reviews were very positive and sincere. It seems that the child trafficking drama in Art's mind has not happened. Maybe for a doll, the possibility of it happening simply does not exist, right?
"Okay, let's put these problems aside for now. Let's go play with Apple Blossom's mother~" Art stood up, stretched, and imitated the children's tone, and said: "But you all have to listen to me.
Oh~"
"What do you want to do with Apple Blossom's mother?" Marin asked with some confusion.
"Of course let her tell us a story~"
…………
"It's getting late, we have to go back."
On the cold sand sea, among the ruins, there was a faint flicker of firelight.
"Hey, now, is it too late now? It's so cold outside..." Linas looked at Teke in surprise. Thinking of the coldness of the desert at night, she subconsciously moved closer to the fire.
Son.
"If we don't go back now, the elder will be really anxious!" Tieke looked at the sea of sand blown by the night wind, exhaled a white breath, and said: "Do you remember that we are only out for patrol!"
"Yes, you are right..." Linas glanced at Ravens who was silent beside her with some caution, and Ravens also raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.
"Are you sure you want to travel at night?" Ravens rubbed his hands on top of the fire and said with some disdain: "Sandworms and sand scorpions are very dangerous at night. If you are unlucky, you might even encounter the desert.
Wolf."
"Shut up! Foreigner, you scared me!" After listening to Ravens' words, Tieke, who was still majestic for a while, couldn't help but shudder and sat back by the fire again.
"I told you, my name is Ravens, and I am a witcher..." Ravens felt his warm face touch his cold buttocks, he adjusted his body half-heartedly, and grabbed a small one from the side.
After removing the tail from the scorpion, it was directly skewered with a silver sword and placed on the fire for barbecue.
"Demon hunter... does it mean a hunter who hunts monsters?" Although he had already explained his identity, this young man from the sand people who was not very smart just now thought about the meaning of this name and asked curiously.
road.
"Of course, we have always been good at hunting monsters." Ravens simply roasted the little scorpion for a while, then stuffed it directly into his mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it.
"Then can you help us return to the settlement? It's only half an hour away from here!" Tieke seemed to see the savior, and he didn't care at all whether the savior almost killed him a few hours ago.
"No, friend, this is not a matter of distance and the possibility of encountering monsters." Ravens shook his head and waved his hand, and said righteously: "In this temperature, I will be killed in less than half an hour and ten minutes.
Frozen to death!"
"It doesn't matter, I brought enough flints with me!" After saying that, Tieke took out a few red stones from his body that were radiating heat to the surroundings.
