"Joachim is very smart and good at playing with tools. He can do well whatever is assigned to him." Theresa thought for a while and said: "So, the priest plans to make him his heir. .
"But from that day on, he became gloomy..." Theresa's eyes were a little downcast: "That's when I realized that he would never forget that incident. . "
Xi'er didn't want to have such an uncomfortable result: "Maybe, he just doesn't want to take over the orphanage. He may have the life he longs for. "
But Theresa rejected Seele's idea: "If that were the case, he would have said it, but Joachim didn't..."
Theresa After being silent for a while, he slowly said: "He is scared. "
"What are you afraid of? "
"I am afraid that one day I will be in the same position as the priest and face the same choice as him. Theresa looked at the fire in the furnace with somewhat empty eyes: "I'm afraid that I will inflict the pain on another child."
"After all, it was a shadow that he could not forget."
None of them spoke for a while.
It took a while for Theresa to speak: "Shortly after that, Mrs. Liesel from the neighboring town proposed to adopt Joachim...
"He agreed. "
"He is escaping. "
Bronya said it right away.
Theresa was noncommittal: "Maybe leaving here and starting a new life will allow him to start over quickly. "
"But in this way, he will never be able to untie his knot. "
It is useless to blindly escape. Bronya has understood this very early. Everything you escape may not matter in a short period of time, but memories will also chase you. Coming up.
Just like that time when she was controlled and hurt Sister Mei and the others.
Theresa sighed: "Many times we understand the truth, but in our hearts. Even if there are some things that are difficult to let go of, you or I wouldn't be able to let go of them all at once. "
Bronya did not speak.
Even Bronya herself has not come out of those shadows, let alone Joachim. < /p>
The fire in the stove illuminated the three of them, and the warm tones reflected warmth on Theresa’s face: “Having said that, I still don’t want to see Joachim’s gloomy expression. Look, he wasn't like this before. "
Theresa lowered her head: "I want to help him, after all, he is our family. "
The three of them were silent for a while.
Theresa suddenly seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly raised her head, looked at the sky outside the window, and said with some confusion. :
"Speaking of which, the sky is already so dark, the priest should have been back long ago. ”
At this moment, the sky outside the window had darkened, and even the setting sun could not see the slightest shadow. The wind and snow began to whistle past the window.
"That's strange, let me go out and have a look."
Theresa stood up and walked out of the wooden house.
But after a while, neither Bronya nor Xier saw Theresa coming back. The two of them looked at each other, feeling something was wrong, and quickly went out to look for traces of a few people.
"Huh!"
The wind and snow blew on their faces with terrifying force, and Bronya couldn't even control her body for a moment. With the help of Xi'er, I was able to stabilize myself.
What's going on?
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
In Bronya’s impression, there was indeed such a heavy snowstorm in the snowfield, but that happened after the beginning of winter. It was like a sudden violent snowstorm. This is not normal. .
Although the blizzard slightly hindered Bronya and Xier's progress, after all, both of them were not simple, so the blizzard only acted as a slight hindrance.
Even so, Bronya still felt that something was wrong. What was the reason for such abnormal weather? Is it a characteristic of this world?
However, neither Theresa nor Otto could be found in the snowstorm.
"There is no trace of the priest."
Stepping in the snow, Bronya kept thinking about what Teresa said in her mind. The familiar touch made her seem to see the scene when she and her mother met for the first time seven years ago.
It was different from this time. There was no big wind and snow at that time, and there was no such rich mood as now. It was a bright morning, with the sun shining on the pure white earth, and Cocolia stood in front of her.
That blond figure, at that moment, really felt like the sun to her.
That was a memory that she could not let go of, but now it has become a shackles of her pain.
Bronya's abnormality will naturally be noticed by Xi'er: "Sister Bronya, are you okay? From the beginning, you seem to be worried..."
"Xie'er... I..."
Bronya didn't know how to speak to her, but as if aware of this, Xie'er gently held her hand, The warm touch spread from Bronya's palm to Bronya's whole body.
"Will this be better?"
Xier gently held Bronya's hand: "When I was scared before, Bronya, sister, sister She will also hold my hand like this. My sister’s hand is warm, and Xi’er is no longer afraid.”
“Xie’er...”
Bronya. I didn't know what to say for a while.
Xi'er looked at Bronya steadily: "If it is a painful thing, don't think about it. Xi'er will always accompany Bronya's sister, just like my sister used to accompany Xi'er." < /p>
Bronya felt the warmth in Xi'er's hands, and her heart felt a lot warmer, with a slight smile on her face: "Thank you, Bronya is fine.
"It's just a little confused, but Bronya has decided to face it head-on. Bronya took a deep breath: "Let's go find Theresa." "
The wind and snow whizzed past the two of them. Bronya turned around and walked in the other direction. But Xier stood behind her, the smile on her face dimmed. Quite a bit.
When the two went up the hillside on the other side, the wind and snow carried Theresa’s voice:
“Father! Father! "
The expressions of Xi'er and Bronya changed again.
"It's Theresa's voice! what happened? "
Bronya made a quick decision: "We have to go there quickly. "
"Wake up, wake up... Father... Please, wake up..."
When Bronya and Xier arrived, Then they saw Father Otto lying in Theresa's arms, with a lot of blood on his body, and Theresa looked panicked at the moment.
The wind and snow blew away Theresa's clothes. She had to dance, which even made Bronya and Xier's vision blurry for a while.
"What happened?" Why did the priest fall to the ground..."
Bronya stepped forward and looked at Otto's condition: "He passed out. We have to send him back to the orphanage quickly, Xier. , you stay here to help Theresa, I will go to the orphanage to call the older children over. "
After Bronya gave the instructions, she immediately ran towards the orphanage.
