Chapter 173 : The Sorrowful Bones

() Jessica, who had been in a coma for a whole day, woke up again when night fell again. She stared blankly at the old basket hanging on the roof, which contained the black clay pot.

Jessica couldn't figure out what was going on now. She felt her head was in a mess. Her temples were beating wildly, as if she had been burned with a soldering iron. The severe pain made her moan lowly. Her eyelids blinked and were hot.

Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, across his burning temples and into his ears.

Joseph looked at his mother who was crying silently. The silent woman made him afraid. This fear came from the disappearance of Orlando. The dazzling red and white snow kept replaying in his mind, and the desperate Orlando and the ferocious poet kept replaying.

appeared before his eyes.

"Mother……"

The sound was as subtle as mosquitoes flying around her ears. Jessica just blinked her eyes and let the tears flow freely on her cheeks. Her long mouth was like a thirsty fish. Her breathing sound was like a broken bellows, which could be heard every time.

Make a wheezing sound.

"Oh my gosh..."

Jessica spoke breathlessly with trembling lips. She choked and her body convulsed slightly. She opened her mouth, but a hoarse and unpleasant sound came out of her throat. Her vocal cords seemed to be vibrating on rusty iron sheets, and the air flow passed by like a heartbreaking sound.

The pain.

She was so sad that she could no longer speak.

Joseph was frightened. He called Jessica and took the wooden bowl on the table. It was filled with transparent liquid, which was rippling with a strange brilliance under the light. Joseph's eyes were wide open, and the candle made of pine branches would only start to burn.

Thick black smoke came out. It was not only pungent but also hurtful to the eyes.

"Mom, drink some water. This is the medicine given to us by the knight." What's wrong with this slightly sweet liquid? Joseph said it was difficult to understand. Are all the nobles in the city like this? It is undeniable.

These magical liquids can relieve the fatigue caused by hunger and make the sleepy Joseph feel a lot more energetic.

The cool liquid flowed down her tongue and into her throat. Jessica couldn't help but swallow the sweet water, which diluted the bitter taste in her mouth and moistened her dry vocal cords.

Joseph looked at his mother. The small wooden spoon in his hand did not stop for a moment, and he kept scooping out sweet water and feeding it to his mother. However, he was obviously unfamiliar with the job of taking care of his family, and a lot of the sweet water was sprinkled on Jessica's mouth.

, face. Even flowed into Jessica's nostrils.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

The woman who was choked by water suddenly coughed loudly. The angry volcano erupted instantly, and her body jumped up from the bed, hunched over and coughing out a large mouthful of white foam.

The woman stretched out her withered hand and grabbed Joseph, "Where is Orlando!" she asked sharply. Her eyes full of tears looked very cloudy, like a female animal that had lost its mind. Jessica pulled Joseph forward. The tip of her nose

To the tip of her nose, "Where is Orlando?" she asked again, her voice rising an octave!

Joseph was frightened. He trembled and said, "Mom..."

"You idiot," Jessica shouted, "Where is my son?" The furious mother fell completely into madness, roaring at her other son, her hands pulled Joseph's collar, and a few

His fingers even picked at the skin on the child's neck.

"Mom, it hurts..." Joseph cried. He kept slapping his mother's hand, but found that it was of no use. The blood appeared in his mind again, and the dark night with despairing memory emerged again.

The boundless cold hugged Joseph tightly.

The child's fearful look made the anger in Jessica's chest intensify, and her eyes almost burst out with fire. She pushed Joseph onto the bed, and the wooden bowl was knocked over. The remaining sweet water was poured onto the bed board, leaving large water stains.

Jessica held the wooden spoon against Joseph's chin and said angrily, "You idiot, where is my son? Tell me what happened!"

Joseph burst into tears from the pain. He felt that he could hardly breathe. The wooden spoon pressed against his skin hurt, "Oh...Mom..." He made a vague sound from his throat, like an abandoned child.

Whimpering like a dog.

Jessica moved the wooden spoon away and cursed again, "You worthless thing, where did you hide Orlando!"

Joseph was trembling with fear and howling heart-piercingly, unable to say anything at all. Jessica pounded her fist on the thin chest, beating the child's cries intermittently.

The noise in the bedroom alerted Wang Hu and Snowder, and they both appeared in front of Jessica.

Wang Hu hugged the frantic housewife and said repeatedly, "Madam, Madam! Please calm down, please calm down!" He frowned and the woman in his arms was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left, and his shoulders and chest were sore with hiccups.

It hurts. Wang Hu had some doubts that what he was holding was not a human being, but a furious beast.

The iron-like arms tightly bound Jessica, and then Snod picked up the crying Joseph from the bed. The thin child rested his head on his shoulder and kept sobbing.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Snod gently patted Joseph's back, and the comfort worked, and the child's crying gradually became quieter.

Jessica gradually calmed down, and she seemed to have regained her consciousness, "Oh, my poor child." She looked at the frightened Joseph, her nose was sore, and tears welled up in her eyes again, "Why is this? Why does suffering always happen?

To torture us."

Wang Hu relaxed his arms, and his mother immediately walked over and took Joseph from Snod's arms. Jessica kissed Joseph's cheek gently, and her chapped lips touched the scar on the child's cheek.

"Mom, it hurts so much...Brother, he's gone!" Joseph whispered. This was the mark left by the bushes and branches when he was trying to escape in the forest. The place where he was beaten by the branches was bruised and swollen, and the slightest touch made it painful.

Jessica trembled and said, "Orlando is dead. While you were hunting wild cats, you were also hunted by others. I'm afraid he has been eaten now. The flesh on his body was removed from the bones with knives and cooked into a pot of thick soup."

Do you understand? Orlando will never come back. Do you understand? Orlando is gone forever just like your father!"

"Madam!" Wang Hu said with enthusiasm, "Don't tell your children these horrible things. He is still young and doesn't understand anything." Wang Hu sighed, flipped his wrist and took out a bag of biscuits from his personal space and handed it to Jesse.

Ka, "You are starving and need to eat something now."

The word "eat" attracted Jessica's attention. She held Joseph and stared at the thing in Wang Hu's hand. The purple packaging bag with Zhao Wei smiling on it made Jessica confused about what it was.

With a wry smile, Wang Hu opened the package and stuffed the biscuits into Jessica's hands, "Madam, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Michael Jackson, a knight of the Kaa family." After saying this, Wang Hu politely performed the knight's ceremony.

This pretentious move fell into Snowder's eyes and he couldn't help but laugh. He stood aside silently and let Wang Hu perform. If it weren't for poor Joseph, a nerd, he probably wouldn't have entered this bedroom.

"He is my attendant," Wang Hu pointed casually and gave Snod's name, "a strange guy!"

Jessica looked along Wang Hu's finger, and then noticed that half of Snod's head was actually a fish tank made of crystal stone. Any non-human creature was not welcome in Noxus. Jessica didn't

I understand why this knight lord hired such a squire.

"Thank you very much... kind master." Jessica bent her knees slightly, then took a step back silently, leaning her thin body against the wall.

She had heard more than once that some nobles in the city-state had special hobbies. Her lips were trembling, and she didn't know whether to return the biscuits to the knight who called himself Michael Jackson or to fill her and her children's stomachs.

"I...I...haven't taken a shower for a long time...Master..."

Pfft, Snod couldn't hold it in any longer, and he grinned. Wang Hu glared at Snod, and looked at the nervous Jessica helplessly.

"Madam, I think you misunderstood. We just came back from the front line and were sleepy and tired. We found a terrible monster in the woods chasing this poor child. Otherwise we would not have appeared in your home. If this makes you feel

If you feel uncomfortable... I think we can leave right away."

After finishing speaking, Wang Hu winked at Simond, and the two turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

"etc!"

Just as Wang Hu was about to open the door, Jessica walked out of the bedroom with her child in her arms, "It's such an unforgivable sin, dear sir... please don't blame a poor widow."

Wang Hu curled his lips, "Please don't say, there are many poor people like you in the city. If you want to blame, blame the hateful war." After a pause, Wang Hu continued, "We should have left long ago.

Go, but we found this thing in your home."

He shook the parchment in his hand, and the clattering sound made Jessica's face paler.

"This is... this is..." Jessica seemed to have made up her mind. "A few days ago, a messenger fell dead outside the village. I... I... only got this thing... the rest were all

It was taken away by everyone.”

She trembled in fear. The messenger just collapsed from exhaustion due to the cold, and ended up being eaten by the people in the village.

"Well," Wang Hu nodded lightly, "I noticed that there is only half of it, it should have a second page!" Wang Hu said this because the words on the parchment explained the beginning of the matter. As for Sandra Luo

Bo didn't reveal any other information, and he was keenly aware that this was probably a hidden plot.

Jessica bit her lip, her eyes wandering and not daring to look at Wang Hu, "I know where the rest of the parchment is, but... but..." The mother suddenly raised her head and said to Wang Hu, "As long as you can find Orlando

I will tell you the whereabouts of the parchment, otherwise..." After saying these words in one breath, Jessica's momentum suddenly leaked, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Wang Hu.

Intimidating a nobleman, God, I'm so crazy.

"Otherwise I wouldn't have told you!"

Wang Hu frowned, and a system prompt appeared on his retina.

Admonition! Admonition! The hidden plot [Sorrowful Skeletons] triggers...
