Chapter 776: The Cemetery of the Dead
The small mountain village hundreds of miles away from the royal city, everywhere reveals the atmosphere of dilapidated and vicissitudes, the dilapidated mud houses are scattered in the mountain stream, from a distance it looks like a small dirt bag raised from the surface, the faint green creeper climbs all over the wall, and there is a lot of moss attached to the surface, the environment is dirty and poor, you can see the dirty domestic garbage everywhere, and you can see flies circling.
The coronation of a new king and the marriage of the eldest lady of the House of Regnome as queen has spread throughout the kingdom, bringing hope to those who have been ravaged by plagues and wars.
For some, however, suffering has only just begun.
The abandoned girl is still so kind, as innocent as in the past, she did not resent the boy's choice, and still silently guarded him in her own way.
For the people, their own leader must be perfect and not stained in the slightest, so the way the girl protects the teenager is also very simple - let herself be forgotten.
In order to prevent the teenager from being exposed to gossip, the girl chose to go incognito, disappeared from public view with her two newborn children, and lived alone in this small mountain village.
A few years passed, and all traces of the girl in this world were gone, and no one ever spoke of her again, and no one remembered that the young king had always been by his side until he was crowned.
On the national side, under the brave command of the young man, the invaders from the east were repulsed, the external worries were dealt with, and although there was no cure for the bestial epidemic, it could also be alleviated with blood therapy, and the internal worries were also quelled.
In this way, the country has gradually become smooth from the initial city full of wind and rain, the country and the people are safe, and the young man has stepped into a brilliant future with the hand of the queen, and is admired by thousands of people.
However... The girl who was hiding alone in a small mountain village came to the end of her life step by step.
In the early years, when she followed the teenager, the girl was affected by her health because of her hard work, and her health has not been very good.
During the years of seclusion in the small mountain village, she not only had to endure the harsh environment, but also worked hard to feed her two children, often from morning to dark, and began to help people do farm work when she woke up, and at night she had to make handicrafts at home to subsidize the family.
Because she has no family, the girl is often harassed by the widows in the village, she has no money to take the children to find other shelters, and she cannot tell the past that makes the teenager question, and all the grievances can only be endured silently by herself.
Year after year, the girl's body finally could not support it, and when her two children had just turned 4 years old, she was sick in bed, and her life was like a candle about to burn out, entering the end.
The girl lived in a tattered house, the walls glowing the waxy yellow of time in the candlelight, the home was only a few pieces of shabby furniture, and she lay feebly on the bed with two young children crying beside her.
"Mom... What's wrong with you, Mommy...", the two children wept profusely, holding the girl's hand at a loss, and the cold feeling of despair seemed to freeze their hearts together.
"Murphy... Murphyβ" The girl whispered to the older child, placing a handkerchief with writing on it and a shriveled money bag in his hand, and looking at him with tears in her eyes, "Take your brother to the royal city..."
If you look closely, you will see that the words on the handkerchief are red and not written in ink and pen.
In this kind of closed mountain village, few people have ever read a book, pen and ink are useless things, and they can't buy it if they want to, so the girl bit off her finger and wrote a bloody letter on her handkerchief with the blood of her fingertips.
The content of the blood book is very short, with only one line of words: You have a home, I have no return. May you remember the old love and protect the son of the two.
The younger child hugged the girl and cried hoarsely, "Mommy, let's go together... Don't leave us behind... Woo..."
The girl raised her thin arm, gently touched the child's head, and said lovingly: "Mother is tired and can't walk... Let Brother Murphy take you away. When you come to the royal city, you must be good boys. β
The eldest child named Murphy held a handkerchief and a money bag, whimpered and asked, "Mom, who are we going to find in the royal city?" β
"Go to the palace and find someone to take you to His Majesty the Kingβ" The girl's eyes seemed to be full of memories, and tears flowed uncontrollably, and her voice was hoarse from crying, "That's your father." β
...
There was a light spring rain in the sky, and the lead-colored clouds were crumbling, and the wind blew away the raindrops, which rippled in the stagnant water.
In the hazy rain curtain, a lonely mountain outside the royal city looked ancient and vicissitudes, and the wind whined with the rain, as if it was whispering in loneliness, mourning for the deceased buried here.
There is a hidden cemetery on the summit of the lonely mountain, surrounded by green pines and cypresses, there is only a lonely tombstone in the cemetery, the flowers that have long withered in front of the tomb indicate that no one has come here for a long time, and the words on the tombstone have been eroded by the rain all year round, but the words "Yin Lisha" can still be vaguely recognized.
A man in a cloak was standing in front of the tombstone at this time, holding a bouquet of white flowers in his hand, he gently placed the flowers in front of the tomb, and then knelt on the ground, bowed to the tombstone, and each time he knocked on the ground, he made a heavy collision sound on the ground, and knocked again and again, and did not get up for a long time.
"Click, click, click..."At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded and stopped behind the man.
"Your Highness," the visitor called out in a deep voice.
"I should have told you that when I came to worship my mother, no one was allowed to disturb me." The figure worshipping the deceased lifted his cloak and revealed a grim face, which was the second prince of the day, Andrei Dogulander.
Lan Xian stood behind Andre, clenching his fists tightly, his clothes had been wet by the rain, and the droplets of water were constantly flowing on his face, and his face was as gloomy as the sky in the rain: "There is news from the palace eyeliner that Pertheus went to the dungeon today to meet Norden secretly, and transferred a large number of files from the library, it seems that he is checking the background of your supporters." β
Andrei didn't say anything, just silently cleaned up the withered flowers in front of the tomb, and then wiped the mud stains on the stele with his sleeve, as if he was treating the most precious thing.
Lan Xian looked a little impatient, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Andrei's shoulder hard, and said heavily, "We have been tricked!" Do you understand? From the very beginning, Perseus did not want to listen to other people's opinions, but to investigate the party in the name of recommendation, and all of our people were exposed! If you continue like this, you'll be scrapped! β
Andre stood in the rain, his eyes reflecting his mother's name on the tombstone, and his voice was emotionless, only silent: "Is there finally a showdown with this dog?" β
