Chapter 852 Caterpillar
Chapter 852 Caterpillar
While waiting for Sora to come back, Su, Paimon and the little girl, Lenore, chatted back and forth.
Although the little girl was a "second-generation prisoner" who was born and raised in the gloomy Mellow Petersburg, she has a rare innocent and cheerful personality.
"Sister, sister! Is the world outside Melo Petersburg really colorful? I heard that the "roofs" outside are so high! So high that even giants can't touch them!"
"You mean the sky? It's really high." Paimon gave Lenore a handful of colorful wildflowers. "There are many other colorful flowers outside."
"Thank you, Sister Paimon!" Linor ran back to Carterpilla with the wild flowers in her arms, surprised. "Brother Carter, look! There are so many beautiful little flowers!"
After sharing her surprise and joy with her brother, Lenore ran over and told stories to her two sisters in return.
"Hmm..." Paimon scratched his head after listening to Lenore's story for a while, "It feels like some kind of fable?"
Su yawned. "It's a very soothing story, perfect for bedtime."
The stories Lenore tells are neither exciting nor interesting. Every image in the story seems to have a meaning, but the moral they want to express is vague. It is not a story suitable for children at all.
Lenore: "This is a story that Brother Carter told me. Do you sisters also have trouble understanding it like I do? It's okay! Brother Carter said that maybe I'll understand it when I grow up."
Lenore changed the story and told it to her sisters again, "Once upon a time, there was a giant's garden..."
This time the story was much more normal, but as Paimon listened, he always felt that the garden described in the story was very familiar.
"The Giant's garden, the prince, the princess, the warrior, and the little girl who ran out of the Giant's garden and forgot the way back..."
Sue, who was originally drowsy, looked at Lenore, "Who told you this story? Where is she now?"
Lenore: "My mother told me that. She... well, she left Mello Petersburg."
Paimon was puzzled, "Left? Where did she go? Why..." Why not take Lenore with her?
Caterpillar, who had been paying attention to this place, came over and said, "Lenore's mother is Agnes, Mr. Earnshaw's daughter."
"Lenore, go over there and look after the luggage."
"Okay, Brother Carter!"
After sending Lenore away, Caterpillar told Su the whole story.
Mr. Earnshaw's daughter Agnes gave birth to a daughter, Lenore, shortly after he was imprisoned. As a mother, she finally understood her father's disappointment and worry about her.
Despite the difficulties, Agnes raised Lenore well and worked actively to get her sentence reduced so that her child could return to the normal world as soon as possible.
But a year ago, Agnes fell ill due to fatigue, depression and chronic illness. Before her death, she entrusted Lenore to Caterpillar.
Caterpillar said calmly, "Lenore still doesn't know her mother is dead. 'Left' is a lie the prison guards and I told her according to Agnes's last wishes."
Paimon tried hard to hold back his tears, not daring to let Lenore, who was not far away, notice.
Caterpillar looked at Sue expectantly and asked her, "I want to know Mr. Earnshaw's attitude towards Agnes..."
He could sense that things were getting increasingly turbulent in Mello Petersburg, so he wanted to send Lenore away before anything unexpected happened.
But he couldn't stay with Lenore for long. If Lenore's only relative couldn't accept her existence, he would have to make new arrangements as soon as possible.
Su was silent for a while.
Although Mr. Earnshaw mistakenly believed that his daughter still resented him, he was still looking forward to her return home.
But Mr. Earnshaw's anticipation of Agnes's return does not necessarily mean that he will also be anticipating Lenore's appearance.
Sue: "I'm not sure, but I can take you to the Giant's Garden."
At least give the truth to those who are waiting, and give Lenore a possibility.
Caterpillar nodded. "That's good. Thank you."
The group waited for quite some time before Kong finally came back.
After comparing the list provided by Leosley, Kong confirmed, "This is the last batch, but we have to take a different route."
The leakage of the original fetal sea water became more serious, and the group of people just now almost sank to the bottom of the sea due to the erosion of sea water.
Fortunately, Kong discovered it in time and dragged those people ashore one by one.
I came back so late because I spent a lot of time helping to treat their injuries and allay their suspicions and panic.
The Traveler Squad held a brief internal meeting, and Su briefly told Kong about the situation of Katepira and Lenore.
Sora had a thoughtful look on his face, but he didn't intend to delve into it for the time being.
Compared to confirming the guess in my heart, jailbreaking is the more important task at the moment.
The team of travelers agreed to change to a new route and decided to move with this group of elderly, weak, women and children first.
Although Leosley transferred most of the prison guards, some prison guards were still patrolling normally.
No matter how carefully they planned their routes to avoid being seen, the migration of a large group of people still attracted the attention of the prison guards.
Prison guard: "Stop! What are you doing?"
Su Lizhi was very confident and said, "Take a walk! No way?"
The prison guard stared at the girl for two seconds, then waved his hand and let her go.
This person is easy to talk to, and he has also encountered difficult ones before, but as long as Carterpila stuffs a stack of concession coupons over, the other party will adopt an attitude of ignoring him again.
Carterpila distributed coupons along the way, and the group successfully arrived at the new starting point.
Paimon wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead and said, "Thanks to Caterpillar for the journey, but do you still have the concession ticket?"
"About three million left," Catepila said casually.
Su was surprised. "Are you some kind of concession ticket printing machine? The owner of the tattered bone shop might not have as many coupons as you."
Kong brought everyone's attention back on track. "There's an abandoned mine ahead. We'll need to go through there to reach the outside world."
Kong reminded the guardians to hold their children tightly to prevent them from getting lost, and also warned everyone not to touch the remaining minerals in the mine.
"Especially those that emit light. The energy they radiate is not something that ordinary people can dissipate, so everyone should try to walk faster and board the submarine at the end of the passage as soon as possible."
"Thank you, blond boy. You and these two ladies are all good people!"
Kong's patient instructions calmed the anxieties of many people. The adults held the children's hands tightly, and the children followed the adults obediently without looking around.
After making sure that everyone was ready, Kong took the lead, Su followed behind, and Paimeng provided support, and the group officially started their prison escape journey.
As Sora had said, the abandoned mine contained many glowing minerals.
Su looked at the mineral materials that sparkled like gems and wanted to pick up some with a shovel.
Paimon whispered, "Now is not the time to collect new ores!"
Su nodded regretfully, "I know, but I don't have a shovel right now."
Write it down, write it down, and come here to purchase more goods when you are done with your work.
