Chapter 181: The Aphasia

The girl opened her eyes.

The first thing that caught my eye was the squeaking and shagging body of the caravan, and the cold wind blew in through the holes, making the girl curl up. Instinctively, she folded her arms and touched her own. But it doesn't play a role in warding off the cold at all. She wore only a ragged linen coat, and the whole carriage was cold and short, and on the surface it looked no different from a large box, except that a rag was put on it to protect her from the rain. In this small and gloomy space, there are several children crowded at the moment, they are not very old, but they are not as lively as ordinary children, on the contrary, if you look closely, you will find that there is no expression on the faces of these children, numb as if they are dead. But even they were far away from the girl's place, preferring to squeeze each other rather than get too close to the girl. This is not out of gentlemanliness, but out of disgust.

Unlike Earth, children born with disabilities on the continent of Klein are very unpopular and even disliked, not just because of survival considerations, but for deeper reasons.

In the creation epic, it is recorded that the gods departed and left the earth to their people. And blessed "I will grant this land to you, and from then on you will walk through the wilderness, and the suffering and darkness ahead will not stop the heart that pursues the light." I will bless the mortal spirit with a strong body, an indomitable heart and a fire of wisdom, in the name of the kingdom of heaven and earth."

Because of this, people on the Klein continent generally believe that those children born with disabilities are abandoned by the gods, and various speculations and fears gradually spread. Then, in the eyes of everyone, the children who were born with disabilities were not only not favored by the gods. Or even the embodiment of disaster. They were abandoned by the gods and were not loved by their parents. In fact, many babies with disabilities are abandoned shortly after birth. Or even killed. Only a small fraction survived, and Irnest was one of them.

When Irnest was born. She was abandoned by her parents and sent to an orphanage by well-wishers to raise her. But when she grew up, she found that she couldn't speak at all, and she also noticed this, and the people in the orphanage naturally didn't give her a good look. Whether it was the orphans who were also adopted by the orphanage, or the adults who beat and scolded her at every turn, for them, the outcasts were cursed, like filth that released poisonous gas. Just being with her makes people feel angry and unbearable.

In this case, Elinster's life in the orphanage was not easy, she did the dirtiest, tiring and hardest work, but she could only eat a little bit of cold rice dumped in the garbage bin every day, and lived in the coldest and dampest part of the warehouse. The whole person is skinny and skinny, and it can almost be regarded as skinny and bones. And the orphanage is poor, everyone has to work hard to survive, but Elester is the only one who is not treated by anyone. Whether it's for the same orphans or adults, Irnest is an absolute outlier, and they don't even think of her as a human being.

But Elinster never imagined that her fate would one day change.

She didn't know where the men were taking her, but she had vaguely heard that she would be sent to another facility for orphans. It's rare. On the Klein continent, adopting orphans is equally a thankless task. In fact, many orphanages are not so much raising children as they are raising slaves. Tong guò adopts orphans. These facilities receive an annual grant from the city administrator, which supports them in raising their children. When these children reach the age of twelve or thirteen. They are then sold as cheap labor by these children to tanners, laundresses, or other trades that want to get apprenticeships and workers. Thus collecting another large sum of money. Irimp was now nine years old, but she was still a few years away from being sold, and she knew she had nowhere to go. Even the Red Light District has no place for her, because even those men who have always been dissolute would never touch a dirty, cursed Godoutcast. Don't say give it away for free, even if you look for money, you won't ask for it. If it weren't for the fact that the law condemns homicide very severely, and those ordinary people in the market dare not break the law, I'm afraid that Elinster would have died in some unknown corner.

Soon, though, she would be able to find out.

The caravan came to a slow halt, and then the tarpaulin was pulled away, and then a male-looking man approached, glaring at Elinster.

"Get the hell out of here! Slut!! ”

Hearing the coachman's words, Irin got up slowly, and walked out of the car. Along the way, the other children couldn't help but make way for her. And when the girl walked to the side of the carriage, she suddenly felt someone kick her hard in the back, and the next moment the girl was kicked directly from the carriage and fell to the ground. Her face slammed into the ground, and blood dripped. Behind her, there was a burst of laughter.

"Get up for me, you shit."

The coachman looked at the orphans, and paid no attention to their actions, but instead kicked Erin hard, motioned for her to stand up, and then led the girl to the door of the convent. And at this moment, in front of the thick and tall door, there was already a young girl in a maid's costume, waiting for their arrival.

"That's the one I said before."

The coachman nodded at Irnest, who was standing nearby, and then spoke. Hearing him, the maid nodded, then looked at the girl, and frowned slightly at the sight of the scratched scars on her face.

"What's wrong with her face?"

"It's just that I fell when I got out of the car, it's not a big deal, okay, this young lady, according to the ..............."

"Of course."

Hearing this, the maid nodded, and then she stretched out her hand, took out five silver coins from her money bag and handed them to the coachman, and when he took the silver coins, the coachman also showed a satisfied smile. Then he imitated the nobles in a nondescript manner, and bent down at the girl in front of him.

"Thank you for your patronage, miss, and have a good day, and I take my leave."

During this time, Elinster kept her head down, staring at the floor at her feet. It wasn't until the coachman beside her left that the girl looked up and glanced cautiously at the maid standing in front of her, and then the girl's eyes widened in surprise.

It's so pretty.........

This was the first impression that came to Elinster's mind after seeing each other. The beautiful, sun-shining blonde hair, snow-white and delicate skin, and delicate, doll-like features make the girl in front of her look so eye-catching. Irinster finally understood why the coachman, who had been so vicious to everyone, had such an expression when he saw the young lady. The gods are above, and she once secretly watched the festivals held in the city, and those noble ladies were unattainable stars for girls. Elester once thought that she was the most beautiful person in the world, but compared to the sister in front of her, they were like toads and swans.

And at this moment, the maid also noticed Irlist's gaze and lowered her head to look at her. Noticing the other man's eyes, the girl hurriedly lowered her head and stared at the floor motionless. In her experience, if an adult finds herself staring at each other, she will definitely be beaten up next.

This time, though, Irnest didn't wait for the board she had imagined, instead, she felt a soft hand gently caress her hair. This made the girl even look up in surprise, her eyes widening in disbelief - for as long as she can remember, Elester could not remember anyone ever treating her like this. She even felt a little frightened and panicked about this kind of plot, because the girl didn't know what it meant.

But the next moment, the crisp and beautiful voice soothed the fear in the girl's heart.

"Your name is Elinster, right?"

“………………”

In the face of the other party's inquiry, Erin nodded, and the panic that had been in the new environment was reduced a lot. Either way, the people here at least seemed much nicer than the people I'd met before. And seeing her nodding, the maid also smiled slightly.

"Hello, Erin, my name is Lily of the Valley. I think we'll be living together for a long time in the future, and I hope you can enjoy your new life..............."

Saying this, Lily of the Valley looked her up and down again. I have to admit that in Lily of the Valley's eyes, there is nothing abnormal about the girl in front of her at all, and she can even be said to be just a skinny child who is even more pitiful than others. Not only that, but because of what happened to her, the clothes worn by the girl were also dirty and dirty, her hair was unkempt like a chicken nest, her body and little face were full of dirt and dirty black mud, and the whole person also exuded a sour smell. And Erin herself knows this very well, so when she saw Lily of the Valley looking at her, she couldn't help but shrink her body, and she also knew very well that with her current appearance, just standing in front of this beautiful young lady was probably a blasphemy.

However, Lily of the Valley didn't seem to mind this, she just looked at Erin 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, Lily of the Valley stretched out her right hand. Looking at the white palm, Erin hesitated to put her dirty little hand up, and then let Lily of the Valley lead herself into the heavy gate of the monastery.

The girl had no idea that when she stepped into this door, her future life would also change dramatically. (To be continued......)
