Su Feng followed Allen and San Li to a small wooden house on the second floor.
"Ailun, Sanli, you're back. Come and eat. By the way, this is..." A woman who looked like an ordinary housewife in an apron suddenly said as she walked out of the wooden house. This was Alan's mother. Unlike Xaya's mother, time had scratched thousands of scars on her face.
"Oh, mother, this is Sufeng, an orphan. He hasn't eaten for a long time, so I want to help him.”Alan didn't say that Sufeng was a wandering noble child. However, Ailun's mother had experienced the cold and warmth of the world and also noticed that Sufeng's identity was extraordinary.
However, like mother, like son. Ailun's mother also kindly invited Sufeng into the house. When Su Feng saw the things on the table, she smiled bitterly. He knew that this would be the result. There was only a plate of black bread and no vegetable roots, but everyone in the inner wall had cake to eat. This was the difference in level.
Perhaps seeing Su Feng's sigh, San Li thought he didn't want to eat it, so he coldly said,"If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it."”Su Feng also knew that San Li hated those nobles. After all, they were the murderers who indirectly killed her parents. Su Feng didn't answer. She silently walked to the table, took a piece of black bread, and ate it. The taste was like eating a rotten cornbread. Although Su Feng felt like vomiting, she felt relieved when she thought about how San Li and the others had eaten this thing for their entire lives. Sufeng slowly swallowed the bread and thought about the future.
Alan, his mother, and Sanli also looked at Sufeng in surprise. After all, judging from Sufeng's appearance and gorgeous clothes, she was a noble child. They didn't expect that she would eat such poor food. Some nobles had never even seen this thing before, but Sufeng actually ate it without changing her expression.
Although San Li and the others were very surprised, they suppressed it and sat down at the table to eat. San Li also nibbled on his bread and looked at Sufeng's focused expression. Sufeng seemed to have forgotten her surroundings and was deep in thought. She didn't notice San Li staring at her. As the saying goes, a man who is focused and hard working is the most handsome. This saying still had some truth. San Li looked at Sufeng's expression of forgetting all other things and his expression also eased up. It was no longer that suspicious and disgusted look.
"Ah!" Sufeng suddenly let out a scream. She seemed to be lost in thought and didn't realize that she had finished the bread in her hand. She bit her finger and jumped up in pain. Alan and his mother laughed, and even San Li covered his mouth and snickered.
Sufeng also scratched his head in embarrassment. Suddenly, Sufeng saw San Li laughing secretly. Even in anime, he rarely saw San Li smile. It was also the first time Sufeng looked at San Li in the eye after coming to this world. She had shoulder-length black hair and was dressed in plain clothes. A red scarf was wrapped around her neck. The smile that she had on her face was not gorgeous or elegant. It was just a simple and innocent smile. It also let Sufeng know that anime was just an anime and that she would never be able to see the beauty with her own eyes.
San Li also noticed Sufeng's gaze. After all, she was only a 10-year-old little loli. San Li rolled his eyes at Sufeng and continued to eat his bread. Sufeng also returned to her seat in embarrassment.
"Right, Sufeng, what are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?”Alan also asked.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just a small matter.”Sufeng also looked at Alan and said. Alan was also wearing linen clothes, and his green and brown pupils were so firm.
The next day, Sufeng was left at Ailun's house. She also met Ailun's mysterious father. A simple and unadorned father would hardly attract others 'attention. Sufeng also knew that there was a shocking secret in the basement of Ailun's house. However, Sufeng wasn't prepared to ruin the plot. At least, she couldn't do it with her current strength.
Sufeng, Sanli, and Ailun were on their way home from chopping wood when suddenly a bell rang.
"Yay, the Investigation Corps is back. The main door is open. Let's go, Sanli, Kaede. Let's go and see the returning hero." Then, he ran towards the main door.
Sufeng and Sanli looked at each other and sighed.
There were also many people at the gate. Sufeng and the others stood on a tall rock and looked at the returning Investigation Corps through the crowd. Sufeng was also unhappy about her height.
Just as Sufeng was feeling depressed, Allen looked at the door in disbelief. Even San Li's eyes flickered. Su Feng also looked over.
The ones who returned were not heroes with smiles on their faces, but wounded and defeated soldiers. The carriages carried many things wrapped in white cloth. Without thinking, everyone present knew what was under them. All the soldiers were injured. Even if they were not injured, their bodies were tattered. All of them had worried expressions. The leader might have known Alan. When he saw Alan, he lowered his head in shame. The surrounding people were also discussing,
"Only so few people came back."
"They must have been eaten."
"This is what happens when you go out for no reason…"
"Moses…Suddenly, an old woman came out from the crowd and shouted what seemed to be her son's name. He came to the front of the team and asked an officer,
"Um, where is my son, Moses? Where is my son? Is he alright?" The series of questions made the officer feel guilty. He lowered his head and said gloomily,"Take it out!"”
Then, a soldier handed the elderly woman a long object wrapped in white cloth. The woman's face was pale and her body was trembling. She slowly opened the package and revealed a bloody broken hand. The woman could barely stand and could not even cry. It was obvious how sad she was.
"I'm sorry, we can only get these back.”
The woman knelt on the ground and hugged her son's only relic tightly.
"But my son should be useful. It doesn't matter even if there's no direct credit. My son's death should have contributed to the human counterattack, right?”The woman slowly squeezed out these words, tears streaming down her face. This was what all the family members of the deceased wanted to ask the most.
The officer was also surprised. Then, he knelt on the ground and bowed to the woman. He lay on the ground and could not stop his tears. However, we still haven't achieved any results this time! It's all my incompetence that caused the soldiers to die in vain. We don't even know their true colors... "We couldn't even find out the truth!" The officer roared, trying to vent the shame in his heart.
These words completely defeated the woman. She immediately carried her son's broken arm and left in a daze. However, from the looks of it, she would probably go crazy if she committed suicide.
Sufeng couldn't help but let out a long sigh,"It should be said that it's the sorrow of the end of the world. Although I've seen it many times, it's still so sad." Sufeng suddenly stopped talking because he sighed and actually let it slip. Looking at the suspicious eyes of Ailun and Sanli, Sufeng laughed dryly.
"If I say that I'm not from this world, will you believe me?”However, Alan and San Li definitely did not believe it.
"Alright, I'll tell you guys later. I won't harm you.”However, Su Feng's words only temporarily stopped their suspicions. Su Feng also wanted to cry but had no tears. No one believed the truth these days.
