Chapter 554: Sister Avril, can my brother do a trick for you?
"Dang clang."
A crisp sound fell through the wooden door.
Immediately afterwards, there was a series of clattering, crashing, and God knows what was being pushed down.
After a while, the door creaked open slightly. A middle-aged woman stood in the door, looking at each other across the threshold.
She was thin and had strands of silver in her hair. Compared to Grete's memory, she looked much older to the naked eye. She looked at Grete without blinking, and it took her a long time before she uttered:
"Why did you come here to buy something? Come in! Come in and sit! Raymond! You kid won't stop me!"
After saying that, he walked out of the house and stretched out his hand to pull Grete. His palm was about to reach it, but he suddenly retracted it and wiped it on his apron uneasily, and then wiped it again:
"Gretel, you are back..."
"Aunt Eileen!"
Gretel rushed over. Holding the bag of bread in one hand, the other hand was free and held her palm tightly.
The feeling of the fingers is still so rough and cracked, exactly the same as four years ago. Washing, cooking, wiping and sewing, these hands have to do so much work all day long, taking care of the whole family.
Gretel didn't even think about it. The white light on her hand was covered with light, and she wiped it all the way up Aunt Eileen's hand.
Rough turned into fine, dry and cracked turned into smooth. Aunt Eileen looked at him blankly, and finally breathed out with tears in her eyes:
"You kid..."
This moment is exactly like that moment. After Grete awakened to the healing technique, the first morning she went to the Mage Tower to study, he also treated the laceration on her hand in this way.
Four years, four years. Little Gretel has grown a lot taller and become a big shot after being away from home for four years. The way she looks at her is still the same as the child she was back then.
"Auntie, I'm thirsty! I want to drink water!"
Grete stuffed a large bag of bread directly into her arms and asked confidently. Aunt Eileen hugged her hurriedly, agreed with "Hmm" twice, and hurried inside. After taking two steps, she suddenly turned back and looked at Silver Dragon.
Girls:
"Who is this girl? Your friend? We..."
"This is Serira, my friend, come and play with me." Grete smiled and waved to Serira to come forward:
"Cerila, this is Aunt Eileen, who watched me grow up. My father died early, and Uncle Karen and Aunt Eileen have always taken care of me as their own child."
"Aunt Eileen." Severa called after him, smiled sweetly, and stretched out her hand:
"I'm Cerela, Cerela Moonlight Fleissgritte. Nice to meet you."
"Ah...this..."
Aunt Eileen was in a hurry. Cerela had rare silver hair, beautiful appearance, and noble bearing. In the back alleys of this small town, she was like a fairy descending to earth. Not to mention, she also had a rare surname that sounded like she was from an extraordinary family.
.
A girl who shakes her hand and says "Nice to meet you"?
How should she answer?
Will the girl think that she is poor, dirty, and rustic, and then even Gretel will dislike her?
She shook Serira's hand, quickly let go, and invited them to go inside and sit down. As soon as they entered the room, a copper basin fell on the floor, and there were fragments of dishes on the floor. Apparently, she heard Grete calling the door, and she was in a hurry.
, they all fell to the ground with a crash.
Aunt Eileen blushed all of a sudden. This look, this look...
She had to clean up the floor, drag stools out for Grete and the others to sit on, and find clean cloths to wipe the stools. She was so busy that she didn't know what to do. She was really busy, so she had to raise her voice:
"Avril, come out and help! Avril!"
"coming……"
A thin voice sounded from the back room. The footsteps were soft and fast, and the door curtain was lifted for a moment, and a little girl came out. Her face was pale, her hair was yellow, and she could tell at a glance that she had some deficiencies. She was already in her early ten years, look at her.
, still looks like he is less than nine years old.
She glanced at Gretel in confusion, moved her lips, and called out something. The voice was so low that Gretel didn't even hear it clearly even if she pricked up her ears.
Yes, you know without asking that Avril is too young to remember him. When he was a child, he met relatives he didn’t recognize and got through this way...
Grete smiled secretly. The little girl immediately turned to her mother, bent down, and quickly helped to pack it up. Grete quickly stopped her with a smile:
"Aunt Eileen, stop being busy."
The cleaning technique swept at random, and all the pottery bowls and dishes, whole and broken, were returned to their proper places. After another sweep, the dust and greasiness on the table and stools were all gone, and they were clean. Gretel clapped his hands,
Smiling at Aunt Eileen:
"Is Avril the only one here? Where is brother Edward? Where is brother David?"
"Those two boys?" Aunt Eileen was startled. She stared at the ground in disbelief and replied carelessly:
"Edward joined the city guard last year and is probably training at the moment. David is going to be an apprentice and won't be back until tonight. What do you want to drink? Do you want sugar water?"
"Cold water will do." Gretel smiled at her, stood up and squatted in front of the little girl:
"Sister Avril, do you still remember me?"
The little girl had all the rubbish in front of her, and her eyes were wide open in surprise. When she saw Gretel squatting down, her clear eyes turned on his face, and she shook her head blankly. Aunt Eileen immediately slapped her head.
superior:
"Girl with no memory! This is your brother Gretel! Forgot?"
"She's still little!"
Grete quickly stopped, took out a piece of candy from the space bag, and put it into the little girl's hand. He looked at it calmly and saw that Avril's face was pale, but luckily not swollen, her cheeks were not dark red, and her lips were light.
,Well, fortunately, there is no cyanosis yet...
"Sister Avril? I'm brother Gretel. You gave me sweets, did you forget?"
The little girl frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she called out sweetly:
"Brother Gretel!"
"Well, you're so good!"
Grete ruffled her hair. With a hook of his hand, two high mages lifted her onto the stool and placed her next to him:
"Sister Avril, can my brother do a trick for you?"
With a snap of the fingers, the cloud screen unfolded.
"Wow……"
The little girl exclaimed softly. She stared at the cloud screen floating in front of her and the undulating lines on it without blinking. She even forgot to put the candy in her mouth. Beside her, Aunt Eileen rubbed her hands uneasily.
hand:
"Gretel, it's great that you're here, why are you teasing her with magic..."
"Shh!"
Grete stopped slightly.
He stared at the electrocardiogram intently, his brain racing, analyzing every waveform, not daring to miss any abnormalities.
The flickering light of the cloud screen fell on his face. At this moment, Gretel's young face was extremely serious. In the eyes of Aunt Eileen, he was no different from the magicians in the magic tower outside the city.
