After I became an immortal in Uchimaki, I went from being a loser to becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 259: Erya (Part )

What is death.

My little brother, who just turned five, didn’t understand this.

In his little head, he was only aware of one thing: his parents, who went out to work all day, seemed to never come back.

I cried sadly for a long time, and then fell into a deep sleep.

The first thing I do after waking up is to feel hungry.

Sometimes, Erya envies children for their quick memory and their ability to forget the pain quickly.

Because for her and her elder brother, the death of their parents will be an eternal pain in their hearts.

They died in the war and their bodies were never found.

This year, Erya was twelve years old, the eldest brother was fourteen years old, and the youngest brother was only five years old.

From then on, they became orphans without parents and homeless.

The army came from nowhere and massacred the villagers and destroyed the fertile fields. The eldest brother and she were outside collecting herbs, while the younger brother hid in the cellar at home and survived.

Because of the special environment in the mountainous areas, it takes a long time for the fields here to grow crops again.

The survivors left the village because their stored food and livestock were stolen and their farmland was destroyed.

So do they.

The eldest brother is like a father.

From then on, the eldest brother took the initiative to assume the responsibility of taking care of her and the third brother.

At the beginning, the eldest brother took them to find a new village.

The eldest brother said that if they found a new village, they could find work there.

"My second sister and I both have strength. If we have strength, we have work to do, and if we have work to do, we won't starve to death," said the eldest brother.

After listening to what her eldest brother said, Arya’s hope was rekindled.

Yes, as long as they are diligent and as long as they can find a populated place again, they will definitely survive.

The mountains where their village is located are continuous, and the villages are far apart.

The three of them first found some food that had been hidden by the villagers in the village and had not been stolen, and then set off.

The three of them walked for a very long time before they saw the shape of a village.

But there were no living people.

The village was silent, everyone was dead.

The corpses were scattered all over the ground, attracting many flies and maggots.

Arya knew that this village, like her own, had been destroyed.

why?

Are those enemy troops?
Why do they do this?
Although there is war outside, will it have any impact on the ordinary people living in the mountains?
The eldest brother took them to look for food, but unfortunately there was not much food left in the village, and a lot of it had gone bad.

So they set out again to find the village.

No.

No one alive.

All the villages around them were devastated, without a single one being spared.

However, they found some surviving food in these villages. Although not much, it was enough to sustain them for a while.

They kept searching until their feet were worn out, their stored dry food was eaten up, and they had started to gnaw on tree bark, before they finally saw human habitation in the distance.

Arya thought they were finally saved.

As long as there are people, you can survive.

They rushed to the village almost eagerly and saw that it was a place far richer than their hometown.

The land here is mostly flat and the food is abundant. The girls in the village wear beautiful dresses made of fine fabrics.

There are so many vendors here and so much traffic that it doesn't even look like a village.

They have been wandering for a year and can no longer walk.

Being able to come here is a gift from God to them.

Their fertile fields were not destroyed and their people were not killed. They must have had their own defensive capabilities to stay here and must have survived.

That’s what the eldest brother and Arya thought.

However, when they entered the village with great enthusiasm, they found that the eyes of the people here were full of vigilance and alertness. They called them outsiders.

They wanted to find a job in the village.

The eldest brother can herd cattle and chop wood, she can also weave and cook, and they both know how to farm.

But, I can't find it.

The people here are too vigilant. They are unwilling to accept outsiders and unwilling to share resources with them.

Some people even beat them up and drove them away because they were worried that they were bandits or spies.

They spent several days in the village being beaten and chased away, and their lives were even more miserable than their previous wanderings.

Only one family.

The man in that family took a fancy to Erya and wanted her to follow him, so he introduced jobs to them.

The man was thirty years older than Erya, old and ugly.

Erya is only thirteen years old.

The eldest brother firmly disagreed.

Later, when they met on the road, the man came up to ask again. The eldest brother could no longer bear it and cursed him. The man then found someone to beat up the eldest brother.

My brother was so hungry that he felt dizzy. How could he have the strength to resist?

In the end, he was beaten black and blue, and was dying. Only when he was out of breath did he give up.

"Third brother, the eldest brother is dying."

That night, she hugged her eldest brother and cried non-stop, and her six-year-old third brother also cried.

It was freezing cold in the dilapidated temple outside the village. The three of them snuggled up to each other, drawing warmth from each other's bodies.

They are the only ones left for Arya.

But they seem to be gone soon...

The sound of her brother's thin breathing in her ear cut her heart like a knife again and again.

When I was a child, my eldest brother also held me like this when my parents were still alive.

No matter how cold the winter wind was, it could not blow through the door of their house, nor could it blow away the warmth that her eldest brother's arms brought her.

The eldest brother likes to poke Erya’s cheek because it will leave a dimple.

Now, Arya's face has become shriveled, just like her little brother.

The yellow and shriveled face of the little brother beside her hurt her eyes deeply.

Arya took a deep breath and made a decision.

She went to find that person.

When he saw her coming, that ugly face was distorted and revealed a disgusting and obscene smile.

Arya suddenly felt like vomiting.

From then on, in the years that followed, she hated all ugly men.

This ugly man forced her to sign a contract to sell her body, promising to do anything for him unconditionally in the future.

All of this was exchanged for my eldest brother's medical expenses, future employment, and a few pounds of food to alleviate their urgent needs.

Arya did this without telling them, and she also begged the ugly man not to tell them for the time being.

The ugly man agreed.

Arya knew that she couldn’t keep it a secret for too long, but she hoped that her eldest brother could feel at ease while he was recovering from his injuries.

Later, the eldest brother woke up after being treated by the doctor in the clinic. He asked her where the money and food came from. She lied to him and said that she met a kind-hearted person, and that the kind-hearted person promised to find them a job in a while with a fixed salary.

In fact, these are all lies.

Arya wished this was the case, so that the three of them could live the life they had once dreamed of.

After rebuilding her own family, she and her elder brother went out to work to earn money, and raised her younger brother to be plump and white. They lived a life that was not rich but ordinary.

But the moment she lay on the ugly man's bed, the moment the ugly man leaned over her with drooling.

She knew that she could no longer have this kind of life.

It’s okay, as long as the eldest brother is safe and sound, and as long as the younger brother doesn’t grow up in hunger.

It would be good if you could continue living on my behalf.
