Chapter 181 Aphasia
The girl opens her eyes.
The first thing that caught the eye was the creaking and shaky body of the caravan. The cold wind blew in through the holes, causing the girl to curl up involuntarily. She instinctively crossed her arms and touched her arms. But
But it had no effect at all on keeping the cold away. She was only wearing a piece of tattered linen clothing, and the entire carriage was cold and small. On the surface, it looked no different from a big box, except that it was erected on top.
A piece of rag is used to prevent rain. In this small and dark space, several children are crowded at the moment. They are not too old, but they are not as lively as ordinary children. On the contrary, if you look carefully, you will find that these
There was no expression on the child's face, and he was as numb as a dead person. But even they were far away from the girl's place, and would rather squeeze each other than get too close to the girl. This is not out of kindness.
spirit, but out of disgust.
Unlike Earth, on the continent of Klein, children born with disabilities are very unpopular and even disgusted. This is not just because of survival considerations, but has a more profound reason.
In the creation epic, there was such a record that the gods left and left the earth to their people. They also blessed "I will grant you this land, and from now on you will walk in the wilderness."
, the suffering and darkness ahead cannot stop the soul that pursues light. I will bless the mortal soul with a strong body, an unyielding soul and the fire of wisdom, so as to become the name of the country of heaven and earth."
Because of this, people on the Klein continent generally believe that children born with disabilities are lives abandoned by the gods, and various speculations and fears arising from this have gradually spread. Subsequently, in the eyes of everyone, those lives
Children who are born disabled are not only not favored by the gods, but are even the incarnation of disaster. They are abandoned by the gods and are not loved by their parents. In fact, many disabled babies are abandoned or even killed soon after they are born.
.Only a few can survive, and Irenester is one of them.
When Irene was just born, she was abandoned by her parents, and then sent to an orphanage to be raised by well-meaning people. But when she grew up, she found that she could not speak at all, and she realized this.
, the people in the orphanage will naturally not look good on her. Whether it is the orphans who were also adopted by the orphanage, or the adults, they will always beat and scold her. To them, the abandoned ones are all cursed people.
, like filth that releases poisonous gas. Just being with her makes people feel angry and intolerable.
Under such circumstances, Irene's life in the orphanage was not easy. She did the dirtiest, most tiring, and hardest work, but could only eat a little bit of leftovers dumped in the trash can every day.
Rice, living in the coldest and dampest place in the warehouse. The whole person is so skinny that he can almost be regarded as skin and bones. Moreover, the resources in the orphanage are poor, everyone has to work hard to survive, but Aelinster is the only one who is not affected by it.
No matter who she is, she is an absolute alien to both orphans and adults. They don't even think of her as a person.
But Irene never thought that her fate would change one day.
She didn't know where these people were taking her, but she vaguely heard that she would be sent to another facility to house orphans. This was rare. On the continent of Klein, adopting orphans was also a matter of
A thankless task. In fact, many orphanages are raising slaves rather than raising children. By adopting orphans, these facilities can receive an annual grant from the city manager, which will support their future.
The children are raised. When these children reach the age of twelve or thirteen, they will be sold as cheap labor to tanners, laundresses or other industries who hope to get apprentices and workers, thereby earning a large sum of money.
Irene is nine years old now, but she is still a few years away from being sold, and she knows very well that she has nowhere to go. Even the red light district has no place for her, because even those who have always been romantic
A debauched man would never touch a dirty, cursed god-forsaken man. Not to mention giving it away for free, he would not take it even if he had to pay for it. If it weren’t for the fact that the crime of murder was not severely punished by the law, and those ordinary people in the city would
If she didn't dare to break the law, I'm afraid Irenester would have died in some unknown corner.
But soon, she would know the answer.
The caravan stopped slowly, and then the raincloth was pulled away, and then a man with a fierce face came over and stared at Aelinster.
"Get off here! Bitch!!"
Hearing the coachman's words, Irene stood up slowly and walked out of the car. The other children along the way couldn't help but make way for her. But when the girl walked to the carriage, she suddenly felt
Someone kicked her hard from behind, and the next moment the girl was kicked straight off the carriage and fell to the ground. Her face hit the ground hard, and blood suddenly dripped from her face. Behind her,
, there was a burst of laughter.
"Get up quickly, you loser."
The coachman looked at the group of orphans and paid no attention to their actions. On the contrary, he kicked Irene hard and signaled her to stand up, and then took the girl to the door of the monastery.
At this moment, in front of the heavy and tall door, there was already a girl in a maid uniform, waiting for their arrival.
"This is the one we promised before."
The coachman nodded to Irene, who was standing next to him, and then spoke. After hearing his words, the maid nodded, and then looked at the girl. After seeing the scratches on her face, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
He frowned.
"What happened to her face?"
"It's just that I fell when I got out of the car. It's not a big deal. Okay, this lady, as promised..."
"certainly."
Hearing this, the maid nodded, then she stretched out her hand, took out five silver coins from her purse and handed them to the coachman. After taking the silver coins, the coachman also showed a satisfied smile. Then he imitated the nobles in a nondescript manner,
He bent down towards the girl in front of him.
"Thank you for your business, miss. I wish you a nice day, and I'll take my leave."
During this process, Irene kept her head down, staring at the floor at her feet. It wasn't until the coachman beside her left that the girl raised her head, carefully glanced at the maid standing in front of her, and then
, the girl opened her eyes wide in surprise.
So beautiful......
This was the first impression that came to Irene's mind after seeing the other person. The beautiful blond hair that reflected the sun's rays, the snow-white and delicate skin, and the delicate, doll-like facial features made the girl in front of her look so beautiful.
It was so eye-catching. Irene finally understood why the coachman who was so mean to everyone showed such an expression after seeing this young lady. By God, she had secretly watched a festival held in the city.
, those aristocratic ladies are considered unattainable stars for girls. Eileens once thought that they were the most beautiful people in the world, but compared with the sister in front of her, they were like toads and swans.
.
At this moment, the maid also noticed Elinster's gaze and lowered her head to stare at her. Sensing the other person's gaze, the girl hurriedly lowered her head and stared at the floor motionless. Based on her experience, if an adult finds that she dares to stare,
If she looks at the other person, she will definitely be beaten severely next.
But this time, Aelinster did not wait for the board she imagined. On the contrary, she felt a soft hand gently stroking her hair. This made the girl even raise her head in surprise and stare in disbelief.
Big eyes - From the beginning of her memory, Aelinster could not remember anyone ever treating her like this. She even felt a little frightened and panicked by this kind of plot, because the girl had no idea what it meant.
But the next moment, the clear and beautiful voice soothed the girl's inner fear.
"Your name is Aerinster, right?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.
"………………"
Facing the other party's inquiry, Eileen nodded, and her original panic in coming to the new environment was reduced a lot. In any case, the people here at least seemed much better than the people she met before. And seeing her
Nodding, the maid also smiled slightly.
"Hello, Irene, my name is Linglan. I think we will live together for a long time in the future. I hope you can like your new life..."
After saying this, Suzuran looked her up and down again. She had to admit that from Suzuran's point of view, there was nothing unusual about the girl in front of her. It could even be said that she was just a skinny child who was even more pitiful than the others.
Not only that, because of her experience, the clothes the girl wore were filthy and dirty, her hair was as disheveled as a chicken coop, her body and face were covered with dirt and dirty black mud, and her whole person also exuded a...
There was a sour smell. And Irene herself knew this very well, so when she saw Suzuran looking at her, she couldn't help but shrink her body. She also knew very well that with her current appearance, just standing here
In front of the beautiful lady, I'm afraid it's a kind of blasphemy.
However, Suzuran didn't seem to mind this. She just looked at Irene quietly, then nodded, and then looked at the girl with a smile.
"Then Erin, please come with me, this will be your home from now on."
After saying this, Suzuran stretched out her right hand. Looking at the white and tender palm, Irene put her dirty little hand on it with some hesitation, and then let Suzuran take her in.
Inside the heavy door of the monastery.
The girl had no idea that when she stepped into this door, her future life would undergo earth-shaking changes. (To be continued...)
