Ke'er smiled sweetly and said, "It's me."

The aunt couldn't help but ask: "But I remember I was still a little girl when you left. Why now..."

Kerr said: "This is a long story, I will explain it to you later."

She hurriedly asked: "Auntie, has the orphanage moved to another place? Tell me where everyone has gone. I want to say hello to the director."

But when she talked about the orphanage, the smiles on the aunt and uncle's faces instantly stiffened, and then gradually disappeared.

And then, even full of resentment...

168. Past events

But neither the aunt nor the uncle immediately told what happened in this place. Instead, after calming down, they looked at Ke'er helplessly.

You Qi's aunt also said with emotion: "You did well when you left, Ke'er, you left well."

"Huh?" Ke'er was naturally confused after hearing this.

The aunt then said: "If kind-hearted people hadn't spent money to adopt you out, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to get out."

"What do you mean?" Ke'er's brows couldn't help but frown.

The uncle on the side raised the radish in his hand and said: "Why don't you come to our house and sit down? This is a place of right and wrong. There were officers and soldiers patrolling here before. Our two parents-in-law also made sure that the officers and soldiers had evacuated before returning. Come to the kitchen and see what we can get.”

Mr. and Mrs. Pestan were originally chefs in the orphanage's back kitchen. The uncle was responsible for cooking, and the aunt was responsible for cutting the dishes. Sometimes they would switch roles.

Because the director of the orphanage is a member of the church, and the church advocates a certain kind of spiritual practice that does not eat meat, so the kitchen here will naturally not eat meat, and will use some other things to supplement protein.

Ke'er remembers that when she was a child, she would run out to find something to eat at night when she was too hungry. Then she met her uncle, whom she also met at that time.

There is a refrigerator in the back kitchen that contains a lot of ingredients, and the couple just wanted to come here to look for other edible dishes.

Looking at the vegetable baskets they were carrying, no matter how anxious she was, she still tried to calm down first. After taking a deep breath, she began to look for edible ingredients on the shelves in the refrigerator behind her.

"Let me help you find it together."

But finally, on her uncle's advice, she was allowed to enter the orphanage hall and other places.

Most of the reasons why it was closed were because it was already a dangerous building and the whole building might collapse.

When Kerr walked out of the kitchen, she first passed through a corridor that had been a bit dark since before. People would make a "squeaking" sound when walking in the corridor. When she was a child, she particularly hated and was afraid of this sound.

On the walls of the dim corridor, there are random paintings drawn by children who lived here before. I don’t know why only large areas of red paint are left today. This also makes the children holding hands on the wall see. It looks extremely weird.

Everyone's face seemed to be dripping with blood, it was like a picture of hell.

The adult in the middle surrounded by the children is even more weird. Most of the colors on the adult's body are black. Kerr can see her squinting, but because her hair is fiery red, the hair on her head is... Red paint is the most abundant and looks the scariest...

This is the director of the orphanage. Miao Ker'er doesn't know his specific name, but she is impressed by the fiery red hair because the director used to take good care of her. He would wake her up in person almost every morning and then help her. Combing her hair, sometimes she would take her to a small garden on the hillside for a walk when she had nothing to do.

To her, the dean is a very nice and gentle person.

As Miao Ker recalled, she couldn't help but get close to the portrait of the dean, and stretched out her hand to touch the dean in the portrait.

But suddenly, the dean in the painting suddenly opened his eyes.

Those bright red eyes stared straight at her.

"what!"

This frightened Ker'er so much that she backed away, and then looked at the painting on the wall again with a wary look on her face. However, she found that the dean's eyes in the painting were still squinted and had not been opened. sign......

"Is it a hallucination?" Ke'er rubbed her eyes. After confirming that there was nothing strange, she relaxed a little.

But an uneasy feeling came over her. This corridor gave her a very strange feeling. It was too gloomy here, so she had better leave quickly.

Thinking to herself, she quickly ran towards the dormitory area.

Little did he know that after she left, sinister laughter slowly came from the corridor.

There were children's laughter and adults' laughter...

Ke'er kicked open the door on the left side of the corridor and walked into one of the rooms in the dormitory area.

When she returned to the dormitory where she had stayed, the memories that had been buried deep in her heart came to her mind like a tide.

The structure of the dormitory is actually very simple, with only one large desk, one dressing table, and two children's beds distributed on the left and right sides of the room.

Kerr slept on the left side, while the other girl slept on the right side.

She walked forward, but did not come to her wooden bed. Instead, she walked to Nia's bed. Looking at the visible knife marks on the wall next to her bed, her eyes gradually softened.

She sat down without feeling dirty, raised her head slightly, and thought about the past.

.......

Ke'er didn't know where she came from. She felt like she had had a long, long dream.

It's just that there was a vicious woman's voice echoing in her ears in the dream, and she never tolerated her.

She seemed to have experienced a very distant time and space travel driven by some force majeure factors, and when she woke up again, she was already on a grassland in the Southern Continent.

I can't recall any memories from the past, I only remember that my name is Miao Ke'er.

She was unlucky. When she woke up, the grassland was experiencing a war. The sound of horse hooves and the roar of the crowd came one after another. She hurriedly found a hole and got in. She curled up and listened to the people above talking to each other. Fighting, sometimes blood was spilled at the entrance of this inconspicuous little cave.

Sometimes a head fell down with a grunt, and when it landed on the ground, it faced her just right, with a ferocious look on its face.

But she could only forcefully suppress the fear in her heart, cover her mouth with both hands, and try not to make any sound.

She didn't go out until the noise from above had subsided and everyone had evacuated.

The grassland was destroyed by the war. The battle between the two sides seemed to be won by the legion represented by white clothes, because there were more bodies in red clothes on the ground, and they were soldiers of another legion.

Ke'er trembled and walked hard on the corpse, but she didn't know where she should go or where she could go.

Looking at these corpses made her feel numb inside. After walking for a while and feeling hungry, she began to look for food on the pile of corpses.

At that time, in the border area where she was, she could see a battlefield within a few kilometers of walking, and fighting was quite frequent.

She could survive the day with the dry food some soldiers carried with them and the water in the kettle. Sometimes she was lucky enough to find an officer nearby.

Generally speaking, if you can see an officer, it means you have found the losing side's military camp. Such places are often pierced by bows and arrows, and officers are almost without exception, or they have been directly blown to pieces by magic thrown from high altitude.

But what is certain is that the materials in the military camp are the most abundant.

Especially in the tent where the officers were, you could even find some canned beef there.

Kerr can use the remaining flames in the magic bombing area to heat food, and also provide himself with some warmth at night. After his body is warm, he returns to the tent to sleep.

When she sensed someone coming, she would run out of the specially made small opening next to the bed like a keen little wolf.

She actually learned how to escape and how to lick a bag a long time ago on the battlefield.

Even if it was something used by a dead person.

But she had no choice. If she didn't eat those things, she would become dead.

169.Changes in destiny are often caused by accidents

 One time, Ke'er even found a set of clothes specifically for children in the military camp. Although it was eye-catching and bright red, it was enough for her, so she hurriedly put on her strange, tattered and not warm clothes. After I changed my clothes, the night became much warmer.

But as she became more active, a strange legend soon spread to the outside world.

It is said that after every war, large or small, there will be a ghost in red floating back and forth on the many corpses in the battlefield that has not had time to clean up that night.

And every time, the resources were looted away, so much so that the management began to think that this was not a female ghost at all, but a stinky beggar who came from nowhere.

So they sent people to arrest him, but they couldn't catch him every time.

According to the soldiers who came back to report, it was simply a female ghost. They swarmed up from all directions when the female ghost was not paying attention, but the female ghost disappeared in the blink of an eye, as fast as lightning. , everyone was shocked, and many people even felt numb.

Later, the incident became more and more bizarre, so that after each war, everyone did not rest immediately, but quickly cleaned up all usable things to prevent the female ghost from taking advantage of it.

After that, when Ke'er came looking for something to eat at night, she never found anything...

Even the belongings of the dead officers and soldiers were looted.

Ke'er gradually had no choice but to sigh helplessly and return to a hidden cave he found in the woods not far away.

She finally made a home in this cave, keeping the useful things she found before, and even made a warm little bed for herself.

In fact, Ke'er has been very clean since that time. She likes to clean the environment where she lives. She arranges everything neatly and has a talent for being a maid.

Since nothing was found, she could only make do with the fruits she picked up on the road that day.

Unfortunately, the fruit is sour and tastes bad. Even if I eat it hard and drink a lot of water to make my stomach feel full for a short time, I still wake up hungry at night.

Unable to sleep, she sat at the entrance of the cave and looked up at the starry sky. The stars were so bright that night.

How long will this kind of life last?Will I live like this alone in the future?

A person lives alone in the world, and then leaves quietly.

Such a life is too sad...

Decided!If you still can't find anything tomorrow, keep going until you reach the town.

With this thought in mind, she took another big gulp of water into her mouth, filled her stomach with it, and then went back to sleep.

She made a crazy wish before going to bed, hoping that she would find her favorite canned beef in the military camp tomorrow. Last time, she found that if the canned meat was roasted on the fire for a while, the taste would be very different, and after eating the meat, The oil and water can be used to cook other things and the taste is very good.

Unfortunately, reality always backfired. When she returned to the battlefield, she found that it was only a small-scale battle. There were only two to three hundred people on both sides. It looked like the end of a war.

Finding nothing, she could only continue to pick fruits and go home. After packing up, she hurried to a town where there were other people.

There is a map in the cave that she brought out out of curiosity from the military camp. The map shows the direction where she is now.

The location she was currently in did not have an exact name, but it was divided into two completely different countries. If she continued walking towards the forest, she would enter the realm of "Magic City".

And if you walk all the way from the plain where the battlefield is, and then climb over a mountain called "Muxi", you can enter another country called "Tersu".

It can be clearly seen on the map that the territory of Cestu Kingdom, which occupies the flattest terrain in the entire southern continent, is much larger than that of Magic City. Preliminary estimates are that it is at least nearly three times the size, almost covering the entire The northern part of the Southern Continent is included, and it is a large material country.

I'll just pack my things and go somewhere later. I'll definitely be able to live the life of my dreams there.

Ke'er planned this and accelerated his pace.

If that incident hadn't happened that day, I'm afraid Ke'er would have gone to the Kingdom of Thurstu, and there's no telling what her fate would have been.

But the hand of fate still changed everything's course at just the right moment——

When she approached the cave, she was keenly aware of movement in the cave.

She couldn't help but frown, and she leaned against the stone wall outside the cave entrance. She took out the stone dagger she made from her waist, and her heartbeat accelerated a lot.

Bang!

There were constant sounds of rummaging around in the cave. It didn't sound like wild animals had come in, but more like people coming in.

Ke'er pursed her lips, couldn't help but glance inside, and then sneaked in.

Deeper into the cave, a white ghost was wandering around her belongings, rummaging for something.

Ke'er took advantage of the ghost figure carrying this side of the cave and pounced on it.

Two "ghosts", one red and one white, about the same height and even voice, started fighting in the cave, and the girl's harsh screams kept coming from the entrance of the cave.

Anyone passing by would be frightened to death if they saw the red and white demons.

Ke'er also didn't expect that her three-legged cat skills could also subdue others. When the white-clothed ghost was pressed against her, Ke'er felt that she had a chance to win. The sharpest point of the stone dagger in her hand was aimed at the ghost below. .

When the "ghost" saw this, he cried out.

"do not want!"

Ke'er was stunned by this shout.

"Girls?"

She hurriedly held back a little weak electric magic between her fingers, then pointed it at the torch on the wall and lit it immediately.

Then the cave lit up.

The appearance of the white-clothed ghost appeared clearly in her sight.

She is indeed a girl with dark blue hair. She is very cute. She should be about the same age as Ke'er, about 12 years old, but she still looks like a child. She is obviously a late bloomer.
