The monster on the mountain captured the boy’s mother.

Feng Ma, who was sitting at home, cried about this. About a year ago, when he and his mother were going up the mountain to mow the grass, a monster with a terrifying bull head and protruding eyes attacked them.

He was very scared. In order to protect him, his mother pushed him into the grass and rolled off the hillside. He knocked his head on the way and passed out in a coma. When he woke up, the man had already returned to the village. No matter what he said, the villagers did not believe him. They searched the mountain for a few days, but they did not see his mother or the so-called monster.

Feng Ma’s father went up the mountain to find it for a long time. Everyday all came back late at night. After a month, he gave up the search. But Feng Ma didn’t give up. He learned to write from his grandmother, and then wrote a letter asking a grandfather who rushed to the city to do business at the price of five eggs to help him send it to the adventurer guild.

The hot tea was poured from the spout of the charcoal kettle, and the boy was holding the large kettle in both hands and pouring tea to Rena cautiously. Rena sat quietly in the house and looked up at all around. The wood house was very simple and the two rooms were separated by a broken curtain. Without a kitchen, they dug a pit in the center of the living room, put some stones around to make a bonfire, and then hung the most valuable thing in the house, the big black pot, with some unsightly meals inside.

“So your commission is to find the monster or find your mother.”

Rena took a sip of tea. She was not afraid of hot, but the bitter taste of the tea made her She frowned slightly.

“Both of them.”

The boy answered truthfully. After putting down the teapot, he took out the clamps. They were two blackened bamboos. He used them to clamp Pick up a black stone and place the teapot on the empty space to heat it up. The movements are very skillful.

Rena put the cup on the ground, put her hands on both thighs, and lifts the head looked towards Feng Ma.

“This requires a higher price.”

She said the second fear of the teenager. He lowered his head and continued his work, trying to cover his face. Confident appearance.

“How much.”

“One hundred dragon coins, if converted into guild coins, about 1,700 yuan.”

Hearing this price, The boy’s face became bitter, and the muscles of his cheek tightened, presumably he was gritting his teeth to prevent his tears from falling out.

He couldn’t afford the price. Rena knew it at a glance. They had nothing in their house and nothing of value. Apart from the farm tools and the big pot beside the door, there was nothing decent. .

“I…I can’t take it out now, but!”

As he said, he choked up, speechless for a while. Feng Ma immediately turned around and wiped away the tears. He strode to an object that looked like a cabinet with only two wooden boards stacked. He lay on the ground, reached into it, and lifted a piece of it. Small stone bricks, and then took out a cloth dumpling from inside. After opening, there is a bunch of the least valuable Copper Coin inside.

“This is the money I saved, and I will definitely give you the rest, please… please trust me.”

both of his hands holding the front , And knelt on the ground, Rena looked at him with complicated eyes. If he refuses him now, this boy will probably collapse.

Suddenly her ears moved, a footstep came, and then someone pushed open the half-open wooden door. Rena turned her head and saw a farmer with scum on his face. He was holding the hoe with one hand and pressing the wooden door with the other, gasping for breath and glanced inside the house.

He saw Rena, but immediately put his gaze on Feng Ma.

“Feng Ma! What are you going home for! Why not go to school!”

The man suddenly cursed, his voice was very loud, and he threw away his hoe fiercely. Picking up the bamboo weave next to the door, moved towards Feng Ma, Feng Ma immediately lifts the head, yelling as he stepped back, “Father! She, she is here to help us find our mother, the adventurer guild!”

Before he finished speaking, he got a fiercely twitch in his thigh. It hurt. He jumped up, but his father grabbed his arm and he couldn’t escape.

“Say! Said! How many times have you said it! Your mother is already not in! You are! Just trouble me!”

Feng Ma’s father yelled while yelling Assaulted his son. The latter had peasy tears in his eyes, but his mouth was biting, and he stood there without making any noise, like a piece of wood.

The crackling and crisp sound accompanied by deafening shouts, no one likes this kind of environment.

Rena sat aside, frowning slightly.

“go! Go back to the school, you can leave this mountain and go to work in the city only if you can read the words. You don’t understand.”

Feng Ma’s father also bites Gritting his teeth, his face flushed, but instead of continuing to beat his son, he looked at him for a few seconds, and then his face eased a bit. Perhaps Rena was not sure about his guilty face at that time.

He bent down, picked up the copper coins on the ground one by one, and put them on his left hand.

“I’m sorry, adventurer, I’m really sorry. My son has caused you trouble. The death of his mother has given him too much shock. He can’t accept it, so he made up some messy stories and blamed me. “

The two fathers and sons are very similar. When talking, they didn’t dare to lift the head and look at her eyes. He kept looking down to pick up money, and his tone was the same low.

“It’s okay, I just passed by that’s all, and I’m not an adventurer.”

As Rena said, she peeped at the teenager in the corner. He looked at himself and said A look close to despair, and shook the head.

“Thank you for your tea. If there is nothing wrong, I will leave first.”

“Hey, I’m sorry to trouble you. I’m sorry, you go slowly.”

p>

The man relaxed, Rena moved towards the door, and suddenly Feng Ma’s trembling and hoarse voice came from behind.

“I didn’t lie.”

This is the kind of sentence he said with all his strength, but it is still very quiet, which is probably inaudible outside the house.

His father glared at him, but didn’t scold him.

Rena paused, and then stepped out of the door. Feng Ma looked at her back in despair and left his house. He closed his eyes and let the tears flow down. His father turned his head and looked down at him. He swallowed, showing a somewhat guilty expression, and whispered: “I will be home today.”

After that, he had the money in his hand. Put it in the rag bag on the ground, took the hoe, left the house, and closed the wooden door.

He walked outside the door and watched the white-haired woman leave. She moved towards the village and walked away without looking back.
