Chapter 1276

She even suspected that the reason why she was not kicked out was because the two of them didn't have to do housework every day here.

She didn't break the vase on purpose, she was tired and hungry, and a piece of black bread every meal couldn't afford her growing needs, and her hands were trembling even when wiping the vase.

But these are not the key, the key is that now the vase is broken, in the eyes of her aunt, her existence is not even comparable to an ordinary bowl, let alone the vase in front of her.

In fear, a figure of a man appeared in the corner, that was her uncle...

"Hoo...hoo..."

Somewhere in O'Hara, Robin watched cautiously from the corner. In the end she still chose to escape, she could no longer bear the inhumane beating.

Chapter 138 The Sea-Monster's Residence

Gollum...

His stomach rumbled in dissatisfaction, Robin lowered his head, a gloomy look appeared on his hungry little face.

She seldom had enough to eat, and she had to undertake huge housework at a young age, but her daily food was only some dry black bread and clean water. Years of hard life made her already familiar with the feeling of hunger.

But being familiar doesn't mean being able to ignore it, especially since she is only a child herself.

Looking around, the setting sun had gradually set from the sea level, and the cool wind began to blow, and she shivered. Hunger and cold hit together, and a kind of lonely despair naturally arose in my heart.

She gritted her teeth and walked out of the small town. She couldn't stay here. Those neighbors knew her, and if they saw her whereabouts, they would definitely tell her uncle.

Because of the ability of the devil fruit, she was regarded as a different kind since she was a child, and no one in the whole town liked her.

Unknowingly, I have come to the seaside, the setting sun has been completely submerged below the sea level, only the last afterglow is shining, and there are waves of tidal waves from the high tide sea, Robin is sitting on a high stone, huddled The body looks towards the sea.

As a person living by the sea, finding food in the sea is the most basic life skill. But because of the devil fruit, she couldn't get in the sea water, not to mention the high tide now, she had to keep a safe distance.

The sea fog surged up, and she turned her head to look to the side, which was completely covered by the sea fog.

After being stunned for two seconds, she suddenly thought of the legends that the adults have said in the past year. It seems that a legendary sea monster appeared on the coast. They wrapped a section of the coast in thick fog, and anyone who dared to break in would become their "ration." ".

Once at night, the sea monsters will come out of the thick fog to hunt in the city, and their targets like little girls under ten years old.

Thinking of this kind of legend, Robin's complexion suddenly changed. Although she is living in depression now, she still doesn't want to die, especially being the food of the legendary sea monster, which makes her feel fearful.

It has to be said that people's imagination is rich. Just because of the fog that will return to the original point, the people in the town have made up similar stories, and even the details are perfect and very specific.

Perhaps this original story was just thought up by a mentally exhausted mother who was tortured by crying children all night. After it spread, people's natural ability to make up brains was fully developed, and a vivid story appeared.

If you add the precipitation of time, it doesn’t take long, it only takes ten or twenty years, the legend of the sea monster on the coast of O’Hara will spread throughout the whole world, and even spread to the great waterway as time goes by to go.

Robin didn't know the truth. Even though she was very precocious because of the hard life, she was essentially just a seven-year-old girl who had a natural fear of things like sea monsters and ghosts.

Jumping off the rock without even thinking about it, she hurried towards the direction of the town. I just hope that the sea monsters will go out late today, so that I don't let myself become that unlucky ghost.

After only two steps, she became desperate. The surrounding area was filled with thick fog at some point, she completely lost her sense of direction, and even the sound of ocean waves became thinner in the silent space.

Humans are creatures that are very good at scaring themselves. The quieter the environment, the more helpful it is for people to replenish their own brains.

Robin's face turned pale, she didn't dare to stay in this dangerous seaside for a moment, and ran out as if to escape, no matter which direction it was.

She didn't know how long she had been running, anyway, the dense fog around her didn't change at all, only the pits and pits of stones under her feet told her that she was still on her way.

At this moment, she suddenly felt her eyes light up, and she walked out of the thick fog by the sea.

But what appeared in front of her eyes was not what she imagined. It was a path covered with cobblestones, surrounded by unknown flowers and trees, and the bright moonlight shone on the distant sea, shining with sparkling luster.

From her point of view, there seemed to be a wooden house at the end of the path. Because of the moonlight, the specific shape was somewhat unclear, but there was no doubt that it existed.

There is no fog around.

Robin's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe what she saw. She had lived on the island for so long, and she never knew there was a house here. And where did the thick fog go?

She took a step back in doubt, and suddenly the surroundings were completely white, and the silence completely enveloped her, and she returned to the state of anxiety just now.

Walking forward quickly, the scenery changed abruptly, and there were two completely different worlds a step away. She walked along the path with some fear and curiosity.

No matter where it is, she doesn't want to go back to that thick fog, she doesn't want to feel the feeling of being abandoned by the whole world again.

The moonlight shone on her path, and she walked slowly, trying not to make the sound of her footsteps. I kept thinking in my mind, is the wooden house in this thick fog the residence of the sea monster that the adults said? Or a reclusive old man?

What if the people here don't like me as much as the people in the town, I don't want to spend the night in that thick fog.

Chaotic thoughts flashed one after another, but nothing helped her, and she was already approaching the cabin. A circle of fences surrounded the wooden house, and there were never-before-seen flowers in the neat land in the yard, which were blooming against the moonlight.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it didn't look like the Kraken's house, and the adults said that the Kraken didn't know how to take care of his own land.

Pushing away the stake, she cautiously walked inside. There was no light in the room, so she looked inside by the moonlight. The room was quiet, and the objects placed were very simple, and it didn't look like anyone was inside.

She hesitated whether to open the door and go in. It would be very impolite for her to break in if the owner was not at home.

Gollum...

While she was hesitating, her stomach rumbled again.

"It's over!" She squatted directly on the ground. If someone in the room would definitely hear it, then what would she be regarded as, a thief, a robber, a homeless beggar?

Will the other party come to drive me away?

While thinking wildly, the time passed by every minute and every second, and no one came out of the house.

Chapter 139 Is it really okay?

After waiting for a few minutes, no one came out from the house, and Robin gradually became more courageous.

Because no one lives there, right?

She thought so.

Hunger forced her to walk into the house, and the door of the hut was unlocked, so she slipped in easily. Although I told myself that this was not good, in most cases, people would succumb to their instincts, and hunger was just one of the most intolerable feelings for people. Besides, Robin was just a kid.

The wooden house is not too big, and with the simple placement of objects, Robin doesn't need to spend too much effort searching. It's a pity that she didn't find the food she wanted.

But in the process of searching, she found that the room was very clean, no matter the desk, the chair, or even the walls were spotless, which meant that there were people living here, but they just happened not to be at home right now.

Sitting dejectedly on the wooden floor, Robin looked out the window, the moonlight was hazy, and the trees in the distance rustled. The floor was not cold, but warm.

There was a crisp bell sound, which was the sound of the sea breeze blowing the wind chime, and a touch of red tied under the wind chime came into her eyes. It was a complicated pendant like a bowknot. She had never seen such a style, but I fell in love with it the first time I saw it.

Because she can feel the meaning contained in it, family, reunion...

creak...

While Robin was in a daze, there was a knock on the door, and a figure in a black robe returned to his residence.
