Children Raised by Vampires [Western Fantasy]

"Oh, you mean Dan?" said Abe. "He is different from you. He was born as a real slave, and his parents were slaves who were sold in the manor."

"Okay, I have to go." Abe pinched Lan Yan's face lovingly. Originally, she would not have made such an overly intimate move towards Lan Yan, but it is different now. Now Lan Yan's status is higher than that of Lan Yan. She is even lower, and even needs her shelter. "I'll bring you something delicious for lunch."

"Thank you." Lan Yan said.

After breakfast, the slaves continued to plow the ground and plant vegetable seedlings until noon. The servant came to the field again to deliver food, but Abe missed the appointment and she did not come.

"What are you looking at?" Dan asked.

Lan Yan stood on the ridge of the field, looking in the direction of the manor mansion. The sun shone behind him, and a fresh breeze blew slowly, which made people feel refreshed. He shook his head: "It's nothing."

"You are not her child, she can't take care of you every time." Dan said.

Lan Yan went to the ditch to wash his hands, and then washed his face, Dan buried his head in washing his face, but looked up at Lan Yan and was stunned.

"Dan, Dan, come to eat." A female slave called not far behind them.Those slaves are handling another land.

"Someone is calling you." Lan Yan raised her chin and patted Dan on the shoulder.

The boy suddenly came back to his senses, with an imperceptible blush on his face, he turned his head and said stubbornly, "I won't go eat."

Lunch is still not meaty, two dry and hard black bread, a mushy soup, Lan Yan sat down in the shade with a plate, half an hour to rest after lunch, but there is no need to rush to finish eating.

He leaned against the tree trunk, looking at the green pastures in the small valley in the distance, and a clear stream meandering through it, the scenery is good, but the current situation is too bad, Lan Yan reluctantly ate a few bites of bread, and then put it down Well, his appetite is not very good now, he is not picky, although it is understandable for him to be picky as a young master, but right now he really feels a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

"Can't you eat?" Dan asked.

"Well, do you want to eat? I haven't eaten this before." Lan Yan handed him the intact bread.

"You can keep it for yourself, this bread can last for a long time." The boy said shyly. "Maybe you will be hungry at night. Sometimes he will punish us by not giving us food. It is very important to store food at this time."

Hearing what he said, Lan Yan put the two pieces of bread into her pocket.

Dan picked up Lanyan's plate, drank his mush, wiped his mouth, and said, "Girls have smaller appetites."

Lan Yan: "???"

Dan stared at him.

"I'm not a woman." Lan Yan smiled, feeling a little unbelievable, touched his chest, and straightened his clothes. "Look, it's flat."

Dan's face was so red that it was about to burn, he didn't dare to look at Lan Yan, and stood up directly: "Don't do such shameful actions in the future, it's because you are still young, wait for you, wait for you to grow up... ..."

Oh, forgot, now he really looks like a kid.

Lan Yan laughed loudly, and led him into the grove. Anyway, he didn't let the water go all morning.

Coming out of the small woods, Dan looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, and followed behind Lan Yan listlessly, as if struck by lightning, without any energy.

"Now do you believe it?" Lan Yan said.

Dan wanted to say something, but he didn't say it for a long time, and finally his shoulders slumped, discouraged, and he nodded reluctantly.

In the afternoon, I went to the pasture on the opposite side to mow the pasture. One person shared a scythe, and there was the sound of grass breaking everywhere. Everyone cut from one side to the other, and from time to time they needed to stop to sharpen the whetstone. Blue smoke I feel that my face is burning hot and painful. Why didn't Abe come at noon? Was it delayed by something?He thought, she didn't have to lie to him.

As twilight fell, the clouds on the horizon were dyed a strange deep and shallow dark blue, while the sky turned orange red. Lan Yan straightened her waist, stretched out her hand, and swiped her index finger towards the sky. If there was a rainbow there, Even better, he felt like the sky in the Makoto Shinkai movie he had seen before.

The sound of mosquitoes sounded, and the supervisor Laman swung his whip a few times in the air, yelling to stop the work, and all the slaves were urged by him to return to the hut.

After resting in the hut for a while, the servant brought the food to the open space in front of the hut. The dinner was still black and rough brown bread and another kind of mush, but there was a small piece of bread to go with it. cottage cheese.

Lan Yan couldn't leave, still didn't see Abe, but saw old Hall and his second daughter Lilith, standing far away, not approaching the hut, they called Laman over, and they didn't know what they said, Laman looked back at Lan Yan.

Lan Yan had noticed it a long time ago. He had an intuition that Old Hall was ordering Laman to do bad things. This bad old man was as cunning and bad as his father.

In the evening, Dan squeezed into Lanyan's thatched hut, probably because there were no other children here, and Lanyan didn't see any other children who were about their age.

The next day, Lan Yan knew what Old Hall had ordered Laman. After breakfast, Laman took him to a harvested field and gave him a hoe to dig the field.

Lan Yan looked at the hoe that was taller than him, and cursed inwardly.

The other slaves had already seen that Laman was deliberately embarrassing him. Some were sympathetic, some were indifferent, and some were immersed in their work, but no one stopped them.

Dan took two steps forward with a worried look on his face, and was held back by his father.

"I won't." Lan Yan said.

"You." Laman casually ordered a slave over. "Come and teach him."

The man demonstrated it, and also taught Lan Yan how to do it so as not to hurt himself.

"Thank you." Lan Yan took the hoe, he couldn't swing it at all, nonsense, his body is only eight years old!Normal first-grade children, because they are often hungry, they are not as tall as normal first-grade children.

"No lunch is allowed if you don't finish reading before noon." Laman said viciously, but he didn't whip the whip on Lan Yan again.

Everyone continued to work, and after a while, Lan Yan's palms were blistered. At noon, the place he turned was not even at the corner of the field, and Laman also said that he turned too shallow and had to start over again.

Everyone rested in the shade at noon, only Lan Yan was still standing under the sun, because Laman did not allow him to rest.

Lan Yan secretly ground his teeth, and when Laman didn't pay attention, he took out the leftover bread from yesterday and gnawed on it. It was so dry that he choked, so he had to eat it in small bites. Fortunately, no one complained.

At night, Lan Yan still didn't get food, and was punished to stand outside the house and not be able to go in to rest.

Dan was very worried about him, Lan Yan saw him trying to approach him several times but was pulled back by his parents.Raman took a chair and sat under the eaves watching him.

is it necessary?He is really just a child now, who is offended.

The sky changed at night, and there was a patter of autumn rain. Lan Yan felt that her legs were as soft as noodles, and Laman let him soak in the rain for a while before letting him into the house.

Lan Yan was thoroughly doused by the rain, and he had a high fever that night. The slaves feared that he had some contagious disease, shouted loudly, and crowded in a corner, far away from him, as if he had a plague on him.

Old Hall was holding an umbrella, and Abe was holding an oil lamp beside him. She heard Laman say that Lan Yan was sick and asked to come over.Old Hall thought that this matter should not be known to too many people. Abe was an old servant of their family, and he was loyal to their family and would not do anything against them, so he agreed.

Old Hall glanced at Lan Yan from a distance, and also noticed the panic and uneasiness of the slaves. He didn't want to cause any trouble with such a big fanfare, so he told Laman, "Hold him and follow me."

They carried Lan Yan to Abei's room. Lan Yan's cheeks were flushed and her breathing was heavy. She was obviously very ill.

"Oh, poor." Abe sat on the edge of the bed to change the wet clothes for Lan Yan.

"What are you doing?" Old Hall picked up a pear wood cane to stop Abe.

"Master, please save him. Even if you need that quota, you don't have to force him to die. You can send him away." The blond maid begged.

"You stupid pig, he must die. Do you think he will be willing to think about it when he grows up? What if he is discovered again and accepts First Embrace?" Old Hall stared sinisterly. looking at the blue smoke.He just wanted Lan Yan to die, and he also forbade Abei to help Lan Yan yesterday.Maybe after his death, there will be a vacancy, and his son can fill it.

Lan Yan's breath gradually became weaker, he was really going to die, Old Hall wanted to watch him die, a child was sick, it's normal to die young, he thought.

Abe begged for a long time, and finally ran out of the room crying, covering her face. She really wanted a child, a well-behaved and beautiful child like Lan Yan, but Old Hall checked her and said that she would never be able to in this life. have children of their own.If she had known that the master was going to kill Lan Yan, she would have helped him escape that night. Maybe she could have hidden him at that time. She regrets it very much now.

Lan Yan closed his eyes tightly, lying on the bed, a few strands of wet silver hair pressed against his cheeks, Old Hall reconfirmed that Lan Yan had died, he tested Lan Yan's breath, finally heaved a sigh of relief, and walked out of the room.

"Master." Laman was still standing at the door, waiting for Old Hall's order.

Old Hall paused when he saw him, frowned, and returned to the room. He lifted up Lan Yan's clothes and saw the whip wounds on his body. It seemed that the corpse could not be kept, otherwise the vampire would find out that he abused Lan Yan to vent his anger. up.Old Hall really wanted to reprimand Laman for beating people, rolled his narrow eyes, but endured it, and said in distaste: "Throw him to the mass grave."

After Laman threw Lan Yan's body back, Old Hall still sat in the room for a while. He was a little nervous, and he was about to inform the vampire about Lan Yan's death. His wife Tai Beisha hugged him He comforted him with his shoulders: "Anyway, he is already dead, and the body may have been eaten to pieces by wild wolves at this moment. What are you afraid of? Just tell them that the body is left in the house because of recurrent illness." There will be a plague in the mansion, how can they not believe it? I believe it."
