Secalia.

An unremarkable agricultural town in the northeast of the starry sky. You can’t even find this place on the map. A piece of land appeared inhabited. If you want to trace the blood, 80% of the residents have the blood of that lord.

It wasn't until half a year ago that this agricultural town was registered in the latest map of stars. Before that, even the most detailed military map would only record that there were continuous fields here, as if the fields would grow food by themselves.

As soon as it was daybreak, Martha got up and made the quilt. Perhaps because of getting older, she has been sleeping less and less in the past year, sometimes lying quietly in bed until dawn. She went to wash in the well outside in the yard. Although there was no running water, there was no charge for the well water.

There was a slight coolness in the air, and Martha prepared the coarse grains and concentrated feed, and held the food and water basins to feed the chickens. After arranging the breakfast for the chicken, she watered the kudzu. Occasionally, she would cook the tender leaves of the kudzu.

Then she drank a glass of light salt water, put on a light coat and a pair of well-polished running shoes, and stepped into the morning mist.

It is not the busy season for farming and it is not the working time of the factory. There are no people on the road, only the occasional barking of dogs. Although it is an agricultural town, Circalia is no different from a rural area. Except for two grocery stores, there are basically no other facilities. You need to go to the market an hour away to buy fresh food.

When Martha ran past the grocery store, the middle-aged man who sat outside seemed to have been drinking all night yelled at her a drunken word that no one could understand, but the friend next to him immediately stopped him, and the two laughed.

Laughed out loud. Martha took it for granted and ignored him.

We jogged around the field, but it took us more than half an hour, and we didn't turn back until we reached the intersection of the road.

This road was only connected to Circalia six years ago, and before that, it took half an hour to walk on a dirt road to get to the nearest road. When I went back, the sky was not bright, but darker. Martha thought that it would rain, but it started to rain when she got home. Don't let the chicks run out of the shed, they were all wet after work, and couldn't help sneezing.

Martha was so nervous that she quickly changed into a set of dry clothes and made a cup of hot tea, and then prepared breakfast after her body warmed up. Two eggs, a box of milk, three slices of bread, chicken breast and bananas. To be honest, Martha has no appetite. Her stomach has never been good, and she usually prefers to eat vegetables, but she still forced herself to finish this breakfast .

In the past, she should have gone to work in the factory at this time. Although her daughter persuaded her to resign many times, Martha didn't feel tired at work at all. She has been working for decades and can work with her eyes closed. What's so tiring? What's the point of being bored at home all day, it's better to chat with the workers.

She knew that her daughter wanted her to enjoy life, but her time was worthless anyway, so why not exchange it for some money?

Drinking hot tea to digest food, Martha looked at the rain outside, and the dark clouds flooded the sky like a tide. In previous years, it would never rain at this time, but after the sky collapsed, the weather changed, and the temperature no longer changed every three months, as well as the time of planting, the types of food crops, the harvest season, etc.. ...The world that Martha once thought was eternal, and the life she had been accustomed to for ten years, was completely changed by the apocalypse.

But the collapse of the sky changed not only the world, but also her life.

It was raining outside and it was impossible to exercise, so Martha had to postpone the morning exercise plan to the afternoon, put on her glasses and turn on the Miracle Bracelet, when a message popped up.

She squinted her eyes and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. It was a photo sent by Adele. She defeated the first opponent in Meteor Tribulation, and she was so happy to share the news with her.

Martha carefully edited the message of congratulations and sent it back, but Adele didn't reply, and she was probably still sleeping. Although her daughter's classmates will contact her from time to time, Martha knows and likes the lively and cheerful Adele the most. This girl from the city is more noisy than the girl from the country. .

She used to think that her daughter was well-behaved and soft-tempered, until other parents found her

Only when she came to the door did she know that her daughter's minor injuries were not bruises. She doesn't believe that her daughter can bully others, but she is not a good mother who is capable and tough. She can only lock her daughter in the house to prevent her from getting involved in the affairs of adults. Forgive me...but then my daughter ran out, took two rice bowls and knocked from the village to the village, shouting Sterling I'm sorry I hurt you, your eight-year-old boy forgive me A five-year-old child', everyone looked at their daughter and smiled, but the other parent was quite satisfied, only Sterling was crying and chasing her to tell her to stop talking.

Since then, no one has complained to Martha, and she doesn't know whether her daughter has learned to be good, or other children dare not say that they are being bullied by girls a few years younger.

Martha clicked on "Basic Education" on the light curtain, and took out a pen and paper to continue yesterday's lesson. This miracle bracelet was used by her daughter before, and this set of courses was also taken by her daughter before. Martha only learned the simplest general education when she was a child. The lessons were quite strenuous for her, taking two hours to get a general understanding of a one-hour lesson.

This is because she doesn't need to take the exam, and if she takes the exam, she still has to take the "improvement course" in it. When my daughter has no farm work after the age of seven, apart from watching movies and dramas, she often spends all day studying in order to thoroughly understand these courses.

Martha actually didn't want her daughter to live such a hard life... Born into such a family in a remote area, as her daughter, she grew up

The eldest daughter has a lot of hardships.

She hopes that her daughter can at least have a happy childhood.

But as her daughter grew up, she became less and less aware of what her daughter was thinking, and her daughter's temper became stronger and stronger. Once she disturbed her daughter's study, the daughter knocked over the water glass like crazy, scolding why you always come to bother me, and complaining that it is already very difficult for her to be born in this family, she obediently wiped the ground, only dare to secretly wipe tears .

Martha also felt that she was not worthy of such a good child. No matter how hard she tried, she could not provide good conditions. It would be great if her daughter was born in a better family, so no matter how much her daughter scolded her, she felt that she deserved it. But the next day, her daughter followed her to do farm work without saying a word. At that time, Martha secretly made up her mind that she must not drag her daughter down.

So she's now quitting her job and trying to work out, change her diet, and relearn the basics.

Everyone else thought she was struck crazy, but Martha's goal was very clear and simple, exactly the same as her daughter's when she was a child—she was to become a magician.

Because only magicians can enter and exit Buddhism to other countries.

Martha didn't know if she could leave Circalia, nor did she know what the conditions were for going to other countries, but no matter what, she had to become a magician first. After ten years of land, he went to a foreign country to find his daughter.

She can't keep wiping away her tears and being a burden all the time.

The wind and rain outside were getting heavier, and the rain was pattering on the glass windows. Martha took off her glasses and rubbed her sore eyes, and then went on to class. At this time, there was a sudden strong wind outside, and she was a little worried that the chicken shed would leak, and she heard a knock on the door as soon as she stood up.

who? reporter?

There was a period of time half a year ago when many strange reporters came to her home to interview her, but UU Reading www.uukanshu.com stopped shortly after. But only strangers knock on the door, neighbors call their names directly.

But now it's windy and rainy outside, why would someone come to the door at this time? While Martha hesitated, the knock on the door became more and more urgent. She came back and walked to the door. When she held the doorknob, an inexplicable throbbing came to her heart.

When Martha opened the door, the uninvited guest broke into the house immediately with the sound of wind and rain. He was wearing a windbreaker and a hood, and half of his face was hidden in the shadows. He didn't look like a good person sneaking around, but his clothes were extremely dry, and he didn't bring in a drop of water.

However, the appearance of the stranger failed to attract Martha's attention at all. From the moment he stepped through the door, Martha stared blankly at the girl behind him. The girl also wore a hood, with red hair leaking from both sides, lying quietly on the stranger's back, like a little girl who was tired from playing.

Martha held out her finger,

It retracted like an electric shock before touching the girl's face, as if afraid of bursting this bubble-like dream.

The stranger closed the door and lifted the girl's hood intimately, revealing her alluring sleeping face.

But in the eyes of the mother, no matter how big or good-looking the child is, it will always be as innocent and cute as a baby when it falls asleep. Martha carefully stroked her hot face, her nose moved slightly, and her expression was exactly the same as when she was a child.

"Where is her room?" Ash asked.

Martha gave him a complicated look, then turned around and said, "Follow me."
