Evetrona's old stories

"Why are you two still drinking? I've entered the wolf's den today." Eleven looked at the empty bottles on the table, first frowned, and suddenly laughed again. He turned his head and asked Shirley again: " Shirley, are you sure she's not your real sister?"

"No, but maybe it was in the previous life." Shirley replied.

For unknown reasons, after Mo Wei left the stage, no one performed on stage in a short time, so the tavern began to become chaotic, and the voices of people talking and arguing around became louder and louder. It's like being in a vegetable market, and my ears are buzzing.

After a while, some people had started to get up and leave, the people on the first floor were still noisy, and the tables and chairs on the second floor were more than half empty.

Seeing that the bustle was over, Eve suddenly felt a sense of loss of interest. She turned her head, looked at Shirley and the empty bottles all over the floor, and felt a little dazed for a while—the two of them really drank so much tonight. many?

"It's almost time, and it's meaningless to stay any longer, you two, I'll take a step back first." Eleven stood up, put on his coat, and said, "Do you want to drink something more? I'll help you when I go down." It's over."

Eve and Shirley looked at each other, looked at him again, and shook their heads at the same time.

"Thanks, Eleven, you are such a nice person." Shirley poured him the last glass, "I had a great time drinking tonight."

"Me too." Eleven nodded to Shirley, then looked at Eve with a smile, and even winked at her, "And he said a lot of crazy things to someone."

The three of them raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp. Eleven walked away staggeringly. Eve looked at his back and thought about what he said tonight, and felt that this man was quite interesting. .

And not long after Eleven left, there was a dispute and a fight broke out on the first floor of the tavern. The people around them reacted quickly, and these people were separated by the fighting crowd before they had fought a few times.

"It's not in vain." Shirley said, "Let's go down and have a look."

There were four people in the fight, two of them were injured, one had his forehead hit on the corner of the table, it was broken, and a lot of blood flowed out, while the other was punched in the face, and one side of his face was swollen , also bleeding from the mouth.

When Eve and Shirley came down, the boss and a group of local people were watching over these people to prevent them from having any further conflicts.

"Xiao Lange is here!" Someone patted the shoulder of the person next to him to remind him.Shirley's surname is Lan Ge, and Eve heard about her earlier.

People looked at Shirley and moved out of the way for her, revealing the wounded man sitting on the floor in the middle of the crowd.

Eve looked at Shirley, and then at the wounded man with big arms and round waists. She didn't know what the situation was now. Could it be that the wounded man was Shirley's friend?

Shirley went straight to the wounded man and held his forehead to check the wound. Someone handed her half a bottle of spirits, so she poured the wine on the wounded man to wash away the blood.

It turned out to be to heal his wounds.Only then did Eve understand, and she was relieved at the same time.

The wounded frowned, enduring the sharp pain caused by the wine spilled on the wound, but didn't make a sound. After the wound was cleaned up, Shirley spread her palms and placed them on the wound, whispering After chanting the mantra, a white light flashed, and the wound was covered with a pale white membrane-like substance, which stopped the bleeding.

This is the first time Eve has seen magic that can heal other people's wounds. It seems that this kind of magic can't do something as miraculous as making the wound heal directly. Used to stop bleeding and prevent infection.

Shirley used the same method to heal the injured person on the other side, using the same magic. After the treatment, not only did most of the swelling on the person's cheeks subside, but the loose teeth also stabilized a lot.

After treating the wounded, everyone in the tavern applauded her—just like Shirley said before, fighting is a repertoire of the singing competition, but she didn't say that she herself was one of the participants. one.

The matter was settled, and the two of them didn't stay in the tavern anymore. The shop owner wanted to hire a carriage to take them back, but Shirley declined. On the way back, Eve asked about healing magic In terms of issues, she especially wanted to know why Shirley was tolerated or even approved to use magic in public.When she asked this question, Shirley explained to Eve in this way: "Of course you can't use it directly. Even if you know this kind of magic, you can't use it in public. You must have a doctor's license. You must have never seen it in Bomeng." This kind of doctor? Big cities are rich in resources, and they don’t need to use magic to heal people. They have better healing methods, and this method of using magic to heal injuries is more common in villages and towns. use."

"Then are you the witch doctor here?" Eve asked half-jokingly.

"That doesn't count, but it's a magic my father learned from a witch doctor," she answered.

Walking in the countryside at night is not a very interesting thing, the surroundings are pitch black, and all you can see is a small area illuminated by the lantern. For some reason, Eve suddenly remembered the weird tombstone that Ye Fei had mentioned, and couldn't help shaking her head with a smile.

No More Important Than Lunch (Part [-])

Eve lived in Rozimi Town for more than a week, but no matter how much she liked it, she still wanted to go back in the end.Before the carriage left, Ye Fei gave her a bottle of wine, a bottle of five liters of wine.

"Bottles are more expensive than wine." That's what Ye Fei said. This sentence sounded familiar, and she added: "This wine is 95% full, and it can be kept for a long time. If you must drink it, don't drink it directly. Drinking will damage your throat."

So, Eve set out on the road with a huge wine bottle in her arms.

The carriage passed through the streets of Rozimi Town. Although they didn't know most of the people, some people would greet the carriage and say hello to them.

"Reluctant to leave?" Nanfen asked her.

"One thing, the environment here is really good." Eve leaned on the seat of the covered carriage, looking at the snow-capped mountains and blue sky in the distance.

"Young girls like to visit big cities, but you...you actually like the rural environment." Nanfen looked at Eve and asked suddenly: "Are you too lonely?"

"There are a lot of people around me." Eve replied, "That's pretty good."

"Lonely people will only become more and more lonely." Nanfen said, "I can see that you have a heavy heart, and you seem to have some burden in your heart."

"It's not a burden, it's just...maybe I'm a little confused, I don't know what to do in the future." Eve said with a frown.

"Feeling confused?" Nanfen smiled and put her arms around her shoulders, "It's almost the same as when I was young. You have met my grandmother before, and you can almost imagine the environment I grew up in. There is no material In the end, I had to find something to do by myself. I was fascinated by magic when I was young, and then I went to a noble magic school in Luoming to learn magic and engraving. At home, the days when I went to school and boarded were indeed much more enjoyable than being at home."

"Speaking of which, Ye Fei also wanted me to go to the musical instrument school with her."

"Do you want to go? If you want to go, I agree." Nanfen's eyes lit up.

"Actually, I don't really want to go. I'm not as obsessed with music as Ye Fei is, so I might not be able to persist."

"Then what are you more interested in?"

"I don't know either." Eve tapped the bottle in her arms with her knuckles and said, "You know, my identity is a bit unclear, so I sometimes wonder: Will there be a day when I I can no longer live like an ordinary person, forced to do things that go against my heart, or all this is an illusion, and everything will disappear when I wake up from the dream? Of course, it is more likely that I will disappear..."

Eve has been living in a vague anxiety. She doesn't know why she became who she is now, and she doesn't know what will happen to her in the future. She has been waiting for a result, whether it is good or bad. She accepts it all, as long as she doesn't live like this without knowing why—God gave her the best, but now she feels that she just stole someone else's life, and maybe someone will come to expose it one day She, instead of her, came to collect debts from her.

"Don't think so, how can people disappear without a problem?" Nan Fen hurriedly advised her, "You just need to understand that Harvey is on your side, and no one will dare to hurt you."

"Hawein?" Eve sighed, she still didn't know how Harvein was doing now, she asked Nanfen: "What do you mean... what kind of person is he? I only met him once. "

"Your father is a friend of Maoqi, and he can be regarded as half of his teacher. He has been to the manor several times. He is a very gentle person. He doesn't show the airs of the supreme commander. I don't need to say more about his appearance. He's just like my grandmother, always looking young."

"Aren't they going to die?" Eve asked.

"What are you talking about! They are still your elders." Nanfen shook her shoulders, "Human beings are bound to die one day, but sooner or later, the reason why they live longer than ordinary people is that That’s also because they have put in unimaginable efforts for this.”

"What kind of effort?" Eve asked.

"This... I don't know, maybe it's like a reward from heaven to them." Nanfen squeezed her face and continued: "Who knows, these are not important, you can do it yourself when you have a chance in the future." Go ask Harvey, and I'm sure Wenzina will be willing to tell you too."

Eve was not satisfied with the answer, but she didn't ask any more questions. Perhaps in Nanfen's eyes, those two people were extremely mysterious and had a natural distance from mortals. Nanfen didn't understand and was not interested in this.

"Maybe one day, you will reach a state like them, so you don't need to watch what other people do, just do what you like."

Rozimi Town is not too close to Boimeng. They spent four days on the road. When they returned to the manor, it was already evening. Liriodendron tulipifera on both sides of the road has fallen leaves, and the fallen leaves are flying in the autumn wind, like golden snowflakes fluttering in the air. The neatly trimmed hedges in front of the wall show a magnificent gradient of red in late autumn. Glittering in the setting sun.

Seeing this familiar scene, Eve suddenly had a feeling of coming home. She was very familiar with the people and everything here—is this home?

When they came back, Maoqi and Luge were sitting in the yard drinking tea. Nanfen couldn't help being overjoyed when she saw this scene, and hurried to Luge's side, stroked his hair and asked him: "Yo, my good son, Are you not angry with your father?"

"Stop talking about it." Ruger was a little embarrassed by her, and he said, "I've never been angry with him, but he's always been angry with me."

"If you don't run around, why should I be angry?" Mao Qi's tone was a bit harsh, and it was the first time Eve saw such Mao Qi.

She was going to go back to the room quietly, but was stopped by the sharp-eyed Mochi.

"Eve, come here!" He waved.

Eve had to go and sit beside them.

"What's the matter, isn't Rozimi Town fun? Or...is the climate unacceptable over there?" Maoqi asked her when he saw that her expression was not good.

"No, it's very interesting over there, and I don't even want to come back." Eve answered with some effort.

"Really." Mao Qi nodded, "Is that sick? His face is not right..."

"You are really annoying." Nanfen said to her husband, "She is obviously tired from the journey, let her go back and rest."

Nanfen gave her a wink, Eve nodded, got up and left.

"What's the matter?" After Eve left, Mao Qi dared to ask Nan Fen in a low voice.

"What else can it be? It's a trouble for half-grown children." Nan Fen poured herself a cup of tea.

"What do you mean?" Mao Qi still had a puzzled expression.

"Lack of presence, wanting to prove myself." It was Ruger who spoke, "That's how I understand it."

"Is that so?" Mao Qi looked at Nan Fen.

"Almost. Every child grows up in a different environment, and they will have different troubles. Some of them you can understand at a glance, while others—even if she tells you, you still can't fully understand them." Nan Fen Adding a spoonful of sugar to the tea, he continued: "This kind of trouble usually doesn't last long, maybe she will figure it out by herself, but she can't let it go, she still has to find a way to relieve it."

"Peers know peers best," Ruger said. "I think she should make more friends."

"Son, what do you want to do?" Nanfen asked him while holding his son's hand on the table.

"I don't know her very well," Ruger said. "Send her to the school?"

"I thought so too, and she didn't object, but the question is, which school?"

Having said that, the eyes of both mother and son were focused on Maoqi's face.

"You ask me?" Mao Qi felt a little baffled, "I haven't even gone to school myself..."

"You discuss it with your friends. They are all local celebrities and they all care about Eve, so let them help." Nanfen said.

"Okay, you have the final say." Maoqi stood up from the chair, took an apple from the plate, and walked towards the courtyard door.

"Are you going now?"

"I'll go to the city to discuss with Anfa and see if he has any suggestions." He went out and his voice faded away.

Eve's mood was indeed not very good, but it was not as serious as the family imagined. After two or three days after returning, she started hanging out and having fun as usual.

And during this time, news about choosing a school for Eve spread among old friends. They all paid close attention to this matter, and they all helped to ask around, so this matter quickly became known to everyone. In the end, it seemed that only Eve didn't know about it.

In addition, during this period of time, another event that happened in the manor also touched her heart a lot—that is, something happened to Trina.

From the point of view at that time, this incident did not change her, and even she herself quickly forgot about it, but looking back, this incident had a big enough impact on her.

Trina is a very ordinary girl, she will be eighteen this year, her parents are commoners employed in the manor—the so-called commoners are relative to the rich, not nobles or officials.Another digression, in the northern part of Yudi, female names with the sound of "Na" at the end of the name are actually very common, and the rate of duplicate names is extremely high, such as this Trina, and the eldest princess Wenzina, and For example, Iftrona, although it sounds nice, can be seen everywhere.

When Eve first came to the manor, Trina was about the same age as her, but she always took care of her like an older sister. The relationship between the two was close at that time, but under the background that their identities and wealth were not commensurate, Trina There is no doubt that there is regret and low self-esteem hidden in her heart. Even if Eve can feel her emotions, she still can't do anything. Therefore, in the past five years, Trina has watched Eve grow and grow up day by day. Even more excellent than the day, and at the same time gradually alienated her, and even did not know when to start, has already called her "you" very raw.In fact, it is not difficult to guess that this change is not only due to the self-consciousness of the girl due to her age, but also due to the subtle influence and discipline of her parents.

On the afternoon of the accident, a gardener was dealing with a half-dead old tree by a river beach in the manor. The tree was struck by lightning last summer and most of its canopy was knocked off. There were signs of rotten roots, so after reporting in the manor, he planned to cut down the tree on this day.The branches of this tree are thick and thick, and even if the crown is cut off, it will be more than ten meters high. The worker determined the angle of inclination of the tree, cut off the bark covered with moss around the root of the trunk, and after drawing the line with charcoal, began Cut a large wedge-shaped gap along the line to guide the direction of the trunk when it falls.The accident happened when he drove a wedge into the trunk—this tree may have been struck by lightning more than once. After the wedge was driven in, the trunk split open from the bottom, exposing the carbonized and rotten inner flesh. The tree did not fall in the direction the gardeners expected.At that time, there were several people watching the excitement, one of them was Trina, and the heavy tree trunk fell towards her. Perhaps because she was frightened, she did not talk to her. The others dodged to the side, and she didn't respond when she was called. Trina just closed her eyes subconsciously and raised her arms in a defensive posture. , pressing on half of her body.

Trina was seriously injured, and there was no effective treatment. The tree trunk crushed her two arms and one leg. When she was carried back to the manor, her mouth and nose were bleeding.Everyone hurriedly carried her back to the residence, and asked the doctor in the manor to treat her, but the injury was so serious that even the doctor felt a little helpless, so he could only prescribe a few doses of painkillers and sedatives for her to take.

Eve also knew about this at the first time. She was still reading in the study at that time, and the news came from the servant: "Trina is dying." When she heard the news, she only felt her head buzzing, and she felt like she was dreaming. This shock was not because of how important this name was to her, but because of the fear of dying life.Although the villa area where Eve lived was not far from the residential area of ​​the manor, the two hadn't even met each other in the past year, and Eve didn't even immediately remember who she was.

When she arrived at Trina's house, a lot of people had already gathered there. Trina's father was standing in the yard surrounded by a group of men, including the tree-cutting gardener. They talked about the situation at the time. , while comforting the sad-faced father, and when Eve passed by, the father still cheered up and greeted Eve: "Go in and see her, she likes you so much..." Eve heard When he said these words, he felt dull in his heart, he nodded at him indiscriminately, opened the door and walked into the room.Only Trina's mother and a doctor were in the room, and Trina was lying on the bed.The mother was standing by the bed, her face was full of pain, but she kept silent, her calm was terrifying.Eve asked the doctor about the situation, but the doctor just shook his head and didn't say a word, as if he was afraid of disturbing the patient on the bed.

The patient was lying on the bed, not very conscious, and seemed to have a low-grade fever. She fell asleep and woke up for a while. She knew that Eve was here, called her name, and then cried, saying that she was in pain.Her throat was whistling like a bellows.Eve wanted to talk to her, but she didn't seem to hear, just repeated the few words just now, the situation was very bad.Later, Mao Qi also came, and seeing Trina's situation, he also sighed.Eve followed him outside, wanting to ask him what's going on now.

"The bone is broken, the rib is broken into the lung, and I may not survive tonight." Maoqi replied.

"Is there really no other way?" Eve asked even though she knew the answer.

"To be honest, I have seen multiple injuries when performing missions before. There was even one who was cut in two from the waist and survived in the end." Mao Qi looked at Eve with hopeful eyes and shook his head. Shaking her head, she continued: "But it was different then than now. Trina was just an ordinary girl. At least in my opinion, if there is no way to save her, she can only accept her fate."

Eve lowered her head and remained silent.

"Of course, there is still a good doctor in Bomeng, if I hurry there now..."

"Okay, you don't have to comfort me. Since you said there's nothing you can do, then don't waste your efforts." After Eve finished speaking, she returned to the patient's room. Mochi could hear the impatience in her words, But I don't know if it's because of anger or irritability.

The doctor gave the patient medicine to calm the nerves, but Trina's mother disappeared.

Eve looked at Trina, who was lying quietly on the bed, feeling a little uneasy. She didn't know what kind of mood she was sitting here now--was it because of guilt for the friends who were estranged day by day, or out of pity and sympathy for her misfortune, or simply in awe of the imminent death?Perhaps these are the reasons.

As it was getting late, Trina's mother came back and lit the lamp in the house. Her eyes were red, and she put a bowl of wheat porridge with shredded pork and dried vegetables on the table in front of Eve.

Eve was stunned for a while before realizing that the hot porridge was prepared for herself. She felt sad again. She had eaten at Trina's house before, and she was familiar with the taste. But because of this, she didn't know what kind of mentality this mother had to abandon her daughter to make such a bowl of porridge... Perhaps this is the attitude of the common people of Klickin towards death, or, in other words, there is nothing more important than this.

Eve had no appetite, and felt that she shouldn't eat on such an occasion. She thanked the woman, and still sat there in a daze.The doctor stayed for a while, left a bottle of pain-soothing tincture, and then left. Eve originally planned to go with the doctor, but missed the time to leave because of this stupid effort. The mother was taking care of the daughter on the bed. She wanted to help, but no matter what she did, the woman would silently take the lead, and finally had to sit back on the bed obediently.

She didn't know whether she should leave or not. After all, this was a private matter belonging to someone else's family. Later, she heard the voice of conversation outside, and realized that there were still people here, so she felt relieved.

In the middle of the night, Trina woke up once, and after waking up, she howled loudly, perhaps because of her lung injury, the sound sounded very weird, and Eve, who was originally drowsy, felt a little dizzy Numb, the people in the yard were also attracted by the cry. Trina's father and two middle-aged men came to the bed, but they didn't know what to do. The mother wanted to feed her daughter medicine, but she used her head crashed to the side.It wasn't until then that Eve realized that Trina was tied to the bed. Isn't this aggravating the injury?

Finally, the girl's cry gradually became hoarse, became low and deep, and turned into a crying sound. After a while, the crying sound turned into a violent coughing sound, and some clotted blood spit out from her mouth. Trina died shortly after two o'clock.

The mother cried on her daughter's body, and finally fainted, and was helped to a chair by her husband.

At the moment when Trina died, Eve even breathed a sigh of relief. She was taken aback by her sudden thought, but she knew she shouldn't think like this, but the thought still came from the bottom of her heart. It was like an eye staring at her from the inside out, hazy, not knowing its good or evil.

No More Important Than Lunch (Part [-])

Eve left the room without disturbing anyone. She saw a familiar figure sitting on the steps in the night, and walked straight over.

Mochi heard her footsteps, stood up from the steps, and put a coat in his hand on Eve. Seeing his behavior like this, Eve thought of something, so she laughed.

Mochi looked at her suspiciously.

"Nanfen said that when you were in the rescue team, you always put a coat on her, even in hot weather."

"I'm a rough person, I can't comfort people, I can't express concern, that's all I can do." Maoqi sighed, and buttoned her up, "It's too late, go back and rest."

That night, Eve didn't sleep well, and of course she dreamed of Trina, dreaming that the two of them were sitting together under the big willow tree on the hillside, and there were yellow dandelion flowers everywhere. Trina was still the same age as her at that time, just like four years ago, wearing a white straw hat and a gray-blue dress.

Early the next morning, Nanfen pushed her shoulders to wake her up and asked if she would like to attend Trina's funeral.
