CHAPTER 81 THREE YEARS I
The name Sophie, uneducated people will only think of sanitary napkins, petty bourgeoisie will think of Sophie Marceau, and only those who are really literate, good at fooling people, and have a lot of connotation - such as Lu Yuan, will think of the philosophical fairy tale "Sophie's World". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sophie was already twelve years old - the time of this world seemed to be out of order, Lu Yuan was actually gone for seven months, but three years had passed since the world of The Elder Scrolls - in every sense of the word, she had grown into a young girl and could no longer be called a girl.
Perhaps because of the abundant food after being adopted, Sophie's height has grown a lot in the past three years, and she is no longer the little girl who can only hold Lu Yuan's knees and is malnourished. The only thing that's a pity is that when she grows up, Sophie is still the most ordinary-looking one among Lu Yuan's daughters, she can't be like Zhao Ling'er and Bo Li Lingmeng, and she can't grow up like Ibuki Suika, who will never grow up......
And Sophie's talent is not as amazing as the above three - Zhao, Swordmaster, Ling'er, Hakuri, Grand Magister, Reimu, and Ibuki, Liquor Seller, Suika.
Sophie couldn't understand the intricacies of magic or how to communicate with a god (especially if the god was on the run).
Like all Nords, her expertise was in the sword and axe, both of which she mastered at a young age. But want to go one step deeper...... I'm sorry, but what the hell are you talking about sword intent? Isn't the sword used to slash and stab, and what are the tricks? Why do you have to learn how to walk (footwork)?! There are many problems to be felt.
In short, she is the kind of fool who is sent to any martial arts sect and will be labeled as "rotten wood cannot be carved". Even if she has a cleverness far beyond ordinary people in dealing with people, she can't do it - because she obviously clicked on the talent tree by mistake.
Sophie is such an ordinary girl with cute (passerby's opinion) freckles on her face, her biological father said goodbye when she was two years old, her stepfather said goodbye when she was nine years old, and she was abandoned twice.
But she was not short of necessities, and she had a large wooden house near the edge of the woods, which was very sturdy; The wooden house is located in a remote village with only a dozen families, so it is far from danger; She had several friends of the same age who grew up with her; She also stored up a great deal of bacon and ham, and every day she had God-given bread to eat; She also had a very sharp short sword, a shield, and even a set of iron-striking tools left behind by Lu Yuan...... In short, she is rich in the eyes of ordinary Nords!
Sophie is not short of love, in addition to friends and neighbors, and in addition to her own father and stepfather who ran away, she also has Mother Anne, Twilight Mother, Aunt Nan Lixiang, and the occasional mysterious woman Ding Mumu, and ...... Sister Poison Island Guyko.
"Poison Island is not a sister, we are mortal enemies!" Sophie shook her head, trying to forget about the annoying pair of big bunnies on Poison Island, "I haven't been abandoned twice, Daddy will definitely come back!" She shouted so loudly, and then woke up from her dream.
*****
"Today is Red Moon Day!"
Sophie jumped for joy, first she picked up the dagger and added one to the wall where the date was recorded; Then brush your teeth and wash your face, and practice the short sword for half an hour; Then give yourself fried slices of delicious ham; Finally, she sat down at the table and shouted at the empty plate, "Helsing gave me whole wheat sliced bread"!
(Helsin, are you a thousand-degree takeaway)
Two slices of bread appeared on the plate out of thin air, she sandwiched the ham in the middle, frowned and reluctantly filled a few slices of lettuce, drank a glass of milk, and breakfast was ready.
"Very nasty dream." The leisure time of eating reminded Sophie of that very unhappy dream. The word "ordinary girl" always lingers in her mind, upsetting Sophie. She stood up and ran to the mirror.
Looking at the flat body, brown eyes, pale yellow hair, and fine freckles, this is the typical Nord appearance, Sophie's unsatisfied flat mouth. She looks similar to Cindy next door, just a little prettier than her...... It's really ordinary. Alas, if you have Aunt Minami's long bright purple hair, Mother Anne's black eyes, Mother Twilight's cheeks and good skin, and ...... And the kind of boobs that are shaking when you walk on the poison island......
"Ahhh Sophie smoked on her head and fled the house with her face covered.
Today is the day of the Red Moon, the day when several mothers are coming, and she is going to wait for them on the side of the road - although Nan Li Xiang has always insisted on calling her "aunt" or "sister", in Sophie's heart, Nan Li Xiang, who loves her very much, is also one of the mothers. As for the Poison Island Guy...... Hum!
In the past three years, Lu Yuan's father has disappeared, and the three mothers have been taking turns to take care of Sophie.
As she walked out of the courtyard, Sophie skillfully hung her dagger on her waist and after hesitating for a moment, she took off the shield as well. Over the past three years, she has also learned to protect herself at all times and not to put herself in danger, especially ...... After that incident.
When I left the house, I was confronted by a row of wooden shelves, neatly erected on the edge of the woods—each with a dried corpse—five in all, both men and women, and even the body of a half-grown boy! Although it is said that there is a row of corpses hanging outside the door of a girl's house, it is as terrifying as it is! It will not only scare children, but also visitors. But when Sophie was a girl, she accepted it.
She also accepted the fear hidden in the eyes of the villagers when they saw her!
That's the legacy of that incident......
Three years ago...... At that time, Lu Yuan took Sophie to this small village, helped the villagers repair farm tools, and accepted the hospitality of the villagers, everything was no different from usual - but who knew that he would suddenly disappear! Lu Yuan flew away, no one saw how he left, he didn't leave any explanation for Sophie, and he didn't even take the ox cart and the tools for striking iron.
Lu Yuan's sudden departure suddenly put Sophie, who was still a child, into a desperate situation.
No matter how smart and social she is, in fact...... It's just a bear child, and she doesn't even know the way back!
In the first few days, the villagers still rushed to entertain Sophie, because the reputation left by "Master Tyrande" was still there; But after a week, the attitude of the villagers began to cool down, and rumors appeared that Lu Yuan was dead. Sophie wittily gave the ox cart and all the goods on it to the villagers, in exchange for the promise that they could continue to live for another month.
Sophie thought she had a month to figure it out, but she still underestimated how sinister people's hearts were......
Ordinary civilians, we can say that they are simple, kind, hardworking, and selfless...... These are the "good" sides; But there are also those that cannot be spoken, such as ignorance, greed, superstition, forgetting the great righteousness for the sake of small gains, lack of basic moral restraint, and so on.
When it was determined that Lu Yuan would not come back, in the following time, Sophie's situation suddenly became difficult! Some people try to do something to her, some people get drunk in the middle of the night and pry the door of her house, and some people try to force Sophie to marry a fool who can't find a wife...... When Sophie is bagged and sold to traffickers one night, all she has left is despair!
"Daddy!!"
Sophie cried out in tears, and then a light shone into her world.
*****
There were screams, cries, and swords slashing against bones!
When all is silent again, Sophie's bag is ripped open and she sees a beautiful woman standing under the moon, holding two swords—the first time she'd seen Twilight. At that time, Twilight's mother did not match the image of those who loved and cared for her in the future.
At that time, Twilight Star was like a raging lioness! Her anger can even burn through the night sky!
Five traffickers were hung on a rack and air-dried! Two women and a man had their right hands cut off, and three men castrated - that's the wrath that Twilight had befallen on this village!
The traffickers wailed for five days before dying one after another, and the torturers showed no mercy or forgiveness. At this moment, Twilight is more cruel than all tyrants combined. It was also from that moment that Sophie learned to protect herself at all times. Sophie cries when Twilight hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, your dad entrusted you to me, but I'm too late."
But in her heart, this moment is so precious, and she is willing to exchange everything for ......
Later, it was Anne with her knights, Nan Rika with her city management team, and the Poison Island Boys...... The poison island girl took the dragon teeth and dragon ribs taken from the dragon she killed, and the mysterious woman Ding Mumu came to this small village to take care of Sophie. Sometimes it's alone, sometimes it's two or three people together.
Sophie also has several more mothers and an older sister who doesn't want to admit it.
They helped Sophie build the house, taught her to read and use a sword, and taught her how to dress...... The mothers are very busy, and the Poison Island Guys have to hunt dragons everywhere, so they can only come here for a short time every year, and they have to change shifts. For most of the year, Sophie takes care of herself. If it weren't for Sophie's insistence on staying here and waiting for Lu Yuan, maybe they would have taken Sophie with them a long time ago to take care of her.

"Mom! Mom! ”
Seeing the figure galloping on horseback under the sun, Sophie shouted happily, and her voice rang as crisply as a bell.
"I said don't call my mother, I want to call my aunt, do you know?" The tall woman in the adventure suit jumped off the horse, and the first thing she said turned out to be this. "I'm not unfamiliar with your father's old cabbage stick! When I find a replacement for Xiao Xianrou, I will definitely turn around and dump him! So don't call me mom, I'm an aunt, you know? Sophie. ”
"Mom!" Sophie didn't listen to that, she happily jumped into Nan Lixiang's arms, and Nan Lixiang could only shake her head and sigh.
"Mom, I made jam and waited for you! There are also Blue Mountain butterfly specimens! And also...... I met a wolf cub. ”
"What? You said you got a little wolf dog?! ”
"What is a little wolf dog?" Sophie asked, her eyes wide.
"Oh, I misunderstood...... It's, it's small, oh, wolfdog? You'll find out when you grow up! Nan Lixiang, who had a head cramp just now, was embarrassed by the questioning.
"What, as soon as my mother can't say it clearly, she uses this as an excuse, I'm already an adult!" Sophie expressed displeasure.
"Oh? Who else has said that to you? Nanrika asked curiously, and she put Sophie on the horse's back and led the horse in the direction of the village.
"And Aunt Anne," a hint of sly flickered in Sophie's eyes.
"When she saw me, she said, 'Three years of blood, not a death penalty.'"
