Chapter 149: Bread Thrown by Samsonta

Gusts of wind swept across the boundless sea, creating circles of waves, and the salt flowers on the beach were mixed in with them, and the whole beach sparkled in the sunlight.

A small boat swayed on the sea and then docked steadily on the shore.

A middle-aged man who has been guarding this coast for many years sat on an old tree trunk hit by the waves.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the boat that was drifting away with the waves and then retreating back into the sea step by step.

The middle-aged man spat, jumped up, and ran towards the boat: "Damn it! I'm not going to die in there again, am I?"

The man waded into the water, pulled the boat over, and took a closer look at the people inside. Even though he had seen many strange people, surprise still flashed in his eyes. He paused, pulled the boat ashore, and muttered, "Is he really dead?"

The middle-aged man looked down at the motionless figure inside. He didn't reach out rashly until he realized the person was still breathing. His hand, used to patting vigorously, could not help but gently pat the person's arm: "Hey, wake up."

The person inside still didn't move, so he shook it again: "Hello."

The person in sight slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of empty and lifeless eyes, as if there was no breath of life in them. His eyes slowly moved upwards, staring at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was terrified. He remembered something and said, "Hey, can you leave? If you can, come with me."

The people in the boat did not move for a long time, and the middle-aged man did not urge them. The child in front of him was much easier to deal with than some of the crazy people he had met before. If it really didn't work, he would just carry him from behind.

Just as the middle-aged man was about to make a move, the child in the boat finally stood up and stood beside him neatly.

He was quite obedient, but a little slow. The middle-aged man turned around and said to the child behind him, "Follow me."

The wind brought the salty smell of sea water, and a small figure followed the man, stepping over the footprints he left on the beach.

The middle-aged man looked back from time to time, and when he saw the child following him, he continued walking forward.

"You're lucky to have come here when there aren't any storms," ​​the middle-aged man said. "This time of year used to be the peak season for storms."

The child behind him did not respond, but the middle-aged man could still hear the child following him obediently.

Perhaps it had been so long since he had met someone so easy to lead, the middle-aged man suddenly became nagging: "There are many children who can drift here alive, but you are the first one who can make it to this time."

"I'm so lucky." The middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh.

The huge rocks standing on the beach are a little black, and in the fine sand and gravel, a pool of sea water reflects the blue sky.

They passed through a lush cypress forest, their feet stepped on the leaves on the path, and a fallen leaf floated steadily over the child's head.

The sunlight was shining at the exit ahead, shining through the gaps in the leaves, emitting colorful rays of light.

The little feet followed the man, stepping across the boundary between coolness and heat. A gust of wind blew quickly, blowing up the fallen leaves above the child's head and making them spin in the air.

Simple stone and wooden houses were quietly bathing in the sun, people were arguing under the shade of the trees, and a bearded man was grilling fish at his doorstep. The wind blew, and the fire grew bigger and bigger.

"Pah!" A basin of cold water poured over the man and his grilled fish. A woman cursed and yelled, "How many times have I told you! Bearded man! Don't grill fish in front of your house! You're the only wooden house nearby!"

"Wooden house! Wooden house!" A woman hiding behind a tree suddenly ran out, "I want to build a wooden house! Fire! Fire!"

The middle-aged man habitually withdrew his gaze and said to the child behind him whose eyes were still empty: "My name is Luo Duo."

"Congratulations on making it to St. Fagus Island alive."

Luo Duo probably expected that the child would not respond, so he continued, "Let's go, I'll take you to Sansong Tower."

The child followed his steps closely.

Occasionally, a few people on the road noticed Rodo and the child behind him, but they quickly looked away.

Luo Duo didn't stop until he reached a stone tower several stories high. He stared at the red-haired man sleeping soundly in front of the door. He kicked it expressionlessly and said, "Open the door."

The red-haired man suddenly woke up: "Open the door! What door do you want to open?"

He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, looked up at Luo Duo with sleepy eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was him: "Why open the door? At this time, there is no way..."

His peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of his hair blowing in the wind behind him, and the last trace of sleepiness was instantly swept away. He stood up abruptly and stammered, "You... why did you bring a devil with you..."

He hid in front of Luo Duo, and when he looked out and saw the child clearly, he was stunned. Luo Duo pushed him past and said, "Open the door."

"Oh." He came back to his senses, turned around and opened the door absentmindedly, muttering to himself: "Who would..."

After thinking about it, he curled his lips and said, "I'm really lucky."

The big chain rolled out of the iron gate.

"Squeak."

The red-haired man pushed open the door and said to Luo Duo, "Come in."

Luo Duo turned around and said, "Follow me."

The child still did not respond and followed him silently.

After walking through a large open space, they officially entered the stone tower.

Luo Duo took the child around and walked around until he came to a wooden door. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

He opened the door at the sound and the child stood behind him.

"Madam Maggie, it's me." Luo Duo said.

The middle-aged woman who was working at a wooden table looked up and her eyes fell directly behind him. Luo Duo moved his body slightly, revealing the person behind him.

Surprise in her eyes, she asked hesitantly, "Are you sure? Is this really the new arrival today?"

She stood up and walked towards the child. She didn't need Luo Duo to answer. She knew he wouldn't lie to her about such a thing, but...

She looked down at the girl in front of her and frowned.

The girl had long black hair that represented an ominous sign, and her eyes were also black. Her face definitely did not resemble any ethnic group she had ever seen.

With a rosy complexion and neat clothes, Maggie bent down and took the girl's hand. Her hands were white and tender, and she didn't look like she had ever done any work.

She stretched her body straight. If it wasn't brought by Luo Duo, she would have thought that this was some orthodox noble descendant.

Black hair is a symbol of the devil, and black hair and black eyes are only possessed by a few orthodox ancient nobles.

How could a child like this end up on St. Fagus Island?

Madam Maggie let go of the girl, rubbed the bridge of her nose, and asked her, "What's your name?"

The girl didn't respond, and Madam Maggie stared at her, waiting for her answer.

Suddenly, a stream of light seemed to pass through the girl's lifeless eyes, and her dark pupils gradually became bright.

She blinked doubtfully and looked up at Madam Maggie.

Luo Duo, who was standing by, noticed that the girl's eyes had changed and he couldn't help but stand up and look at her.

Facing this girl who looked like an orthodox aristocrat, Madam Maggie couldn't help but recall the days when she worked as a maid in those aristocratic homes, where each of those aristocratic ladies was more delicate than the other.

She had no choice but to repeat: "What's your name?"

The girl looked confused and lowered her head in thought.

name?

Vifiya.

Something that looked like a name popped up in my mind.

The girl instinctively knew this was her name, but...

While thinking, my eyes gradually became clearer and I was able to consider other things, such as, who is she?

She thought carefully, trying to find an answer to her own question, but she came up blank.

The two adults in the room couldn't answer her question, and she knew it.

The person known as Madam Maggie is still waiting for her answer, is she going to tell the truth?

She opened her mouth and finally said, "Xiao Hui."

She didn't know why she lied, she just knew that this answer made her feel a lot more at ease.

Madam Maggie's eyes turned suspicious. This name obviously did not convince her. As if she had thought of something, she withdrew her gaze and sat back at her desk: "How old are you?"

"I don't know." Vifiya answered honestly.

Madam Maggie looked her over expertly and said to herself, "Six years old."

She lowered her head, not knowing what she was writing. She quickly put a booklet aside, stood up again, and looked at Luo Duo.

Luo Duo nodded: "Then I will leave first."

Vifia's gaze returned to Madam Maggie as he closed the wooden door.

Madam Maggie walked up to her and said calmly, "Welcome to St. Fagus Island."

"This is Sansongta. I'm the administrator here. You can call me Madam Maggie."

Madam Maggie looked at the sky outside the window. She walked outside and motioned Vifia to follow her. "Lunchtime isn't over yet. I'll take you to the dining hall."

She took Vifiya up the stairs, walking all the way up, without considering the difference in pace between a child and an adult.

Vifia could only try her best to keep up with Madam Maggie's pace. The stone stairs were too high for a child.

Maggie in front suddenly stopped. Vifia looked over in confusion, only to see Maggie turn around. Her serious face softened a little: "From now on, this is your hometown."

"Buzz." Vifiya's head suddenly made a buzzing sound, and the pretty child was stunned.

By the time she came to her senses, Madam Maggie had already walked to the corridor on the second floor, and Vifiya hurried to catch up with her.

The door of the dining hall was not closed. The young maid who was maintaining order inside was holding a long-handled spoon. When she saw Madam Maggie coming, she quickly put it down and walked over. She was stunned when she saw the girl with black hair and black eyes following behind her.

Vifiya looked around curiously. The dining hall was a long stone hall with long dining tables placed in it.

The children who were busy eating at the table were a little scared when they saw Maggie come in. When they saw a strange child out of the corner of their eyes, they couldn't help but look away carefully.

Somehow, their gazes were too obvious to Vifiya, and she looked at them openly.

Seeing her appearance clearly, several people gasped, and a few others could not help but shudder. They opened their eyes wide and shouted in fear: "Devil! It's the devil!"

The half-eaten bread was thrown at her along with the words.

Vifiya subconsciously tried to dodge, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

The bread hit Madam Maggie's apron.
