My whole body was burned by the scorching sun.However, I did not die.

The severe deformation of the two feet made it easy for me to pull out the two feet from the semi-circular iron belt.

Night has fallen, and the White Witch and the man have long since disappeared.As soon as I got off the chair, I fell to the ground, like hands that had been corroded by sulfuric acid pressing on the dusty ground, and my perception became clearer a little bit.I don't think the skin on the rest of my body is much better than the skin on my hands.At this time, I heard a burst of footsteps, accompanied by the ringing of Qingyue bells.

"……my Lord……"

"...how did you get hurt so badly..."

"……God bless you……"

Bells are tied on the girl's ankles, and she can be seen when the hem of the white skirt sways slightly with her steps.

She half embraced me in her arms, the fragrance of a girl and the sweetness of blood were attracting me.I'm glad that I didn't have any offensive ability at this time, so my explosive instinct was suppressed, and I didn't hurt this kind girl who saved me.

I cultivated in the girl's cabin for three full months, and regained my long hair and skin all over my body.The girl is called Adai, and she is also a witch with the ability to heal and resurrect.She accidentally exposed this ability in front of others and saved a little girl who was infected with the plague. The fate that followed was to be discovered and burned alive.But Adai's ability is resurrection. She resurrected herself, and since then she has been living alone in the depths of the jungle away from the crowd.She said that it was a coincidence that she met me, and she has been looking for someone who has the same ability as her——

It seems that no matter whether it is a person, a vampire or a witch, living alone will feel lonely and lonely.

She followed the feeling to the hut.It was already night, and she didn't see anyone except me who was burning and dying in the house.Adai saved me. Even though vampires have a strong self-healing ability, without Adai, I would not be able to recover so quickly.

I sat in front of the wooden house and stretched out my leather-gloved hands to catch the early summer sun.Watching the sun fall from between the fingers, it seems like a lifetime away.Vampires die at the sight of light, but I, despite being wounded and bruised, miraculously survived.Adai’s wooden house is not the kind of cement brick and tile house that can shelter from the wind and rain. When I was recovering from my injuries, I watched her take pots and pans to catch the rainwater that leaked. On sunny days, the sun shines through the wooden boards. Shining on my body, with a slight tingling sensation.

Sunshine did not reject me.

I used to be sure that vampires couldn't see the light, so I never touched the sun after First Embrace.Is this a blessing in disguise?Let me know that the so-called talent - the senses of ordinary people, also includes the ability to touch the sun, my ordinary sense of touch.Of course, I also have to dress tightly, and being exposed to the sun for a long time will still damage my body.

Adai wove a wreath and handed it to me, saying, "Don't bask in the sun anymore. It's not good for your health."

"I love the sun." Yes, even though I've been scarred by it, it's my hobby to dress up and bask in the sun knowing it won't kill me.Adai knew my identity.When I bared my fangs and snapped a coyote's neck.And this kind girl still accepted me - I was only half recovered at that time, my skin was pitted and most of it was transparent.If I am like this, if I leave Adai's care, I will definitely die.After that incident, the food Adai prepared for me was replaced with blood.The blood came from a variety of animals, but Adele must have taken a small bowl of blood and recovered the animals afterwards.I don't know how Adai did it. The ability to resurrect also makes Adai understand life, body and soul better. She has pity for all living beings, so she never kills.When I think that all of this is done for me, I am deeply grateful, but also deeply pity this girl who is terribly afraid of loneliness.

"I went to the city." Adai continued.

"You seem to have something on your mind?" After several months of getting along, Adai subverted the image of witches in my mind. The monstrous hatred for white witches and all witches gradually disappeared during the years of getting along.Of course, I can also infer her mood at the moment from her subtle facial expressions.

"Well. Sue, I didn't tell you. I found other witches two months ago. It's just that I don't like it there."

I nodded slightly, and I understood that the "there" that Adai said was a place where witches gather. Presumably there are many people like the White Witch in the witch group, so it's normal for Adai not to like it.A Dai rested her chin with her hands, and her white skirt spread out like a white rose on the wooden platform.She said: "However, many witches, people like me, were brutally killed. Su, we have never done anything to hurt others, it is just that we are born with special powers - when God bestowed these powers, he did not ask It's against our will, isn't it?"

"Adai, do what you want to do."

"In fact, the witches I met told me that the Supreme Witch disappeared out of thin air three months ago, and there seemed to be a very powerful witch hunter in New Orleans, and everyone was in a mess. Although we don't know each other, we Still want to do something."

After listening to Adai's words, I was shocked, and at that time, the shock was more or less full of regret.

—White Witch, just died like this?

And Adai told me her plan directly.She was leaving here, and going back to her companions.Not only because of the sense of belonging, but also because things hurt the same kind.In fact, I was about to say goodbye and leave.It was just Adai who spoke first.My body is healed, and, as a blessing in disguise, the sun doesn't bother me too much.Adai and I simply exchanged our itinerary for the next day, and then we parted ways.

Even if we know that we will say goodbye today, we may never have the chance to see each other again.But she left without any regrets, and after I simply packed my luggage, I embarked on the journey back to my hometown.Adai wants to live with her kind, and I have to wait for the day when I will be reunited with my family for a long time.

Originally, I planned to return home after taking revenge on the White Witch.Maybe it was still as planned and left with Lester.

But now, I've changed my mind.That's my hometown alone, it has nothing to do with Leicester.

People like him pursue all new and exciting things casually.Sooner or later, during our infinitely long years, he would loathe me.It's just time.And I know myself very well, I am a person who becomes stubborn once I am serious, if I get used to his company for a long time, and one day he leaves me and leaves, I will not be able to face the life of being alone.

——I used to keep him at a distance. When he forcibly intertwined our fate, I tried to escape. At that time, I really hated him.But later, I developed a sense of dependence on him in the little things we got along with.Leaving New Orleans together?In the beginning, I lied to him, but later, I gradually became serious.Count him as part of my life plan.

Such dependence should not be let go.

In June 1790, I stood on a cruise ship bound for Holland and watched the pier of the Mississippi fade into a black spot.I think of many people, but most of them are only fragmentary images.

The last thing that comes to mind is still Lester de Leoncourt.

I traveled for more than a century, escaped many difficulties and obstacles, and finally set foot on the yellow land of the motherland in 1920.The outbreak of the First World War was the greatest obstacle to my return to my motherland, and even the gradual acquisition of vehicles and airplanes could not speed me up.In the long years, I sometimes lay in the deserted wilderness, my heart was empty, and finally I found the warmth of home in the deepest part of my memory. Run until the sun rises, or it rains.

I exchanged the gold on my body and bought some beautiful cheongsams.This turbulent era of collision of various cultures.I don't like that dress, I prefer this dignified cheongsam.I wore my hair in a bun, jasper as a hairpin, a lilac-colored cheongsam, and crystal-encrusted high-heeled shoes.Go all the way from the northwest to the southeast.

The day I first stepped into Wen County, the weather was excellent.Instead of wearing those beautiful cheongsams when I was on the road, I changed into comfortable and loose men's clothes.I lowered the brim of my hat and entered the teahouse to avoid the midday sun.There were not many guests in the teahouse, only a rich man in a silk robe was sitting, he was teasing the parrot in the birdcage, while humming a few words-"Xiangyun Ranran Paradise...... The worlds seem to pass by like a light smoke, and they come to Biboyan in an instant..."

"...Young master, young master! The master tells you to go home immediately!"

"Why are you here? What happened again?" The young master was obviously very impatient when his interest was interrupted.

"Ouch, my young master! Today, Da Shuai Xu accepted the third concubine, it was agreed that the whole family will go to celebrate together!"

Only then did Young Master remember something, he immediately stood up, took the birdcage and left in a hurry with the servant.

I found a corner, and Xiao Er brought tea and snacks as I had just ordered.Immediately, I was the only customer left in the teahouse. After receiving my tip, Xiao Er became very energetic. He said to me, "Young lady, you are new to Wen County, right?"

I nod.Familiar language rang in my ears, and I saw familiar people.The moment I set foot on the motherland, my heart settled down.If I hadn't run out of money, I might have traveled all the way back to Guangdong.I don't know if it's because I'm timid because of the proximity to my hometown, or because I'm just a stranger to my current relatives, but I'm very nervous.As for traveling in the mountains and rivers, in this era, full of wolf smoke and beacon fire, where is there a pure land for you to play?

In short, I don't exclude people from talking to me.Xiaoer said that Marshal Xu was the military commander in charge of Wen County, and today he had a new concubine, and she didn't carry her in through a side door, but with a lot of bragging, and carried her in festively in a big red sedan chair.Xu Shi saw that I was listening seriously, so he lowered his voice and said to me: "I heard that Marshal Xu recently dug a tomb from the previous dynasty. There is also a golden Buddha statue, which weighs several kilograms!"

In the prosperous age of antiques and gold in troubled times, it is not surprising that the army survived by robbing tombs in turbulent times.I listened quietly and sat in the teahouse for a while before getting up and leaving.Before leaving the city, I passed a large house.The two big stone lions outside the door are tied with big red silk flowers, and the red carpet stretches from outside the house to the inside of the house.Above the vermilion gate, there are three gold-plated characters "Dashuai's Mansion".Looking at the specifications of this house, I don't know that it used to be the mansion of that royal family, but now it is occupied by that Marshal Xu.Of course, that's not what stopped me.

That familiar atmosphere that cannot be concealed even if it is festive.Even though I can't see them now, I can feel them just like Lester.I stood hesitantly, considering whether I should learn to learn the magic stick to earn some money, but firstly, this is a big day for others, and secondly, I have never done such a thing...

The sound of carriages and the whispers of pedestrians rang in my ears.

"……foreign devil……"

"Why did foreign devils come to our Wen County..."

I followed the sound and saw the long-lost man wearing a suit and shiny leather shoes, with his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers, leaning against a gorgeous carriage, using his pair of purple and blue in the sun eyes fixed on me.I felt that there was nothing to hide under those strange yet familiar eyes, and at this moment, a young man's voice sounded beside my ears: "Young lady is also here to have a feast of water, right? Hurry up and come in..."
