Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Great maternal love
Aizen quickly paid the money and found that Nojiko had a much better attitude towards him. It's really…
Because Nojiko's picked oranges weren't enough for a bucket, Nojiko asked Aizen to wait a while and picked up the oranges quickly.
"Are you alone in such a big orange orchard?" Aizen sitting on the cart looked at Nojiko who was busy and asked tentatively.
"I usually take care of it by myself. Sometimes my younger sister will come and help."
"Oh, I think the orange trees here seem to be some years old. They should have been planted by your elders. Now you are taking care of them alone. Will they be relieved?"
When talking about the elders, Nojiko obviously paused, and after a while, she pretended to have nothing to do with it and replied: "This orange orchard was planted by my mother. She died when I was young. From then on, I was taking care of this place by myself. In the beginning, the rest of the village People will come to help, until I can take care of this place alone, I didn't let them help."
"Is it like this? Then it's not easy for you to take care of this by yourself. The large orange groves are very hard to take care of!"
"Fortunately, I am used to it." Nojiko carefree said.
"But we really look alike, my mother was killed by a Pirate for protecting me when I was young? I have lived alone since I was a child!" Aizen said remembering the silhouette of his mother that day when Titi was shot in the chest and died instantly in order to protect him to attract the attention of the assassin.
"These damn Pirates again! Bellmere was also killed by Pirate for me and younger sister?" Nojiko with her back facing Aizen did not know when she had stopped picking and said in a hoarse voice A similar experience.
"Mind telling me about your mother?"
It may be that similar experiences have shortened the distance between the two people, or it may be that Nojiko has been depressed for too long She just wants to find someone to talk to, and Aizen is a stranger who is about to leave. Even if he is weak occasionally, acquaintances in the village will not know. The above-mentioned reasons make Nojiko, who has always been strong, choose to talk.
Hearing From Nojiko's mouth, the image of Bellmere in Aizen's mind has gradually become fuller.
The first encounter between Nojiko and Bellmere was both unfortunate and fortunate. It may be that Nojiko was too young at the time, and the specific situation and the memory are not clear. She only remembers that there seemed to be war outside. The three-year-old was panicked and hid by her parents and her parents told her never to come out. At that time Nojiko saw panic and anxiety in the eyes of her parents. And the slightly sensible Nojiko hid obediently and kept hiding. When there was a sound of gunfire outside, Nojiko did not go out, and when there was a killing outside, Nojiko did not go out. When there was a sound of turning things outside, Nojiko still didn't go out.
Nojiko has been waiting and waiting, but her parents have not come back to tell her to go out. She didn't know how long it has been After her parents had eaten all the food prepared for Nojiko, her parents did not come back. She was really hungry. And finally, Nojiko walked out of the hiding place.
When Nojiko walked out of the hiding place, what she saw was a ruin. The former beautiful hometown was gone, and there were burning ruins and fallen corpses everywhere. At that time, Nojiko was terrified.
She cried and called "Mom, Mom", while searching for her parents.
While searching for her Mom, Nojiko was attracted by Nami's cry, and found the baby Nami, then takes her to find her mother together.
In this way, in a ruined city, a three-year-old girl wandered stumblingly with a baby in her arms.
"There are survivors here!"
At that time, Bellmere, who was still Marine, was the first to discover the crying Nojiko and Nami who had been held by her. At that time, Nojiko had already forgotten how she was taken away.
After that Bellmere, quit her job in the navy, took Nojiko and Nami, and returned to her hometown, Cocoyashi Village.
Bellmere, who returned to Cocoyashi, planted oranges on the outskirts of the village and made a living by planting orange trees in her backyard.
Bellmere regards Nami and Nojiko as her biological daughters. At that time, their lives were very difficult and occasionally they were hungry, but Bellmere always changed the tricks to make them happy and make them delicious food Although life was difficult, that period was the happiest and most precious time that Nojiko and Nami had.
In order to take good care of them, Bellmere, who is single, has to take care of the orange orchard every day.
It may be due to lack of discipline, or Bellmere's uninhibited personality. When they were young, Nami and Nojiko were often naughty and mischievous, they had several points of a bad girl.
That day, Arlong Pirates invaded Cocoyashi Village and asked the whole village to pay for their lives. The tenacious and bloody Bellmere and the leader of Arlong clashed. But she was not strong to defeat Arlong. Bellmere, who was going to be executed, saved her life with the help of Genzo and was only asked to pay enough protection fees. With the help of Genzo, Bellmere collected 100,000 Beli protection fees. , But unable to collect the protection money for her two daughters.
At that time, Arlong Pirates did not find Nami and Nojiko hiding in the grass, and prepared to leave. But Bellmere knows that Arlong Pirates will establish the Arlong domain on the island. In the days to come, the existence of Nami and Nojiko will definitely be discovered by Arlong Pirates. However, based on their own financial situation, they will definitely not be able to pay for the protection of Nami and Nojiko. and The ending of Nami and Nojiko was definitely not what she wanted to see, so she said to Arlong: "Who said this is for me, this is for my two daughters".
Because in Bellmere's heart, even if Nami and Nojiko are not related to her, they are her most important daughters. they are her meaning of life. Compared with her own life, she hopes her two daughters can survive.
Bellmere was killed by Arlong in order to protect her two unrelated daughters. Bellmere's great maternal love for her two daughters far surpassed the relationship of blood and gave up her life in order for her two daughters to survive.
In order to live up to Bellmere's hopes, Nojiko and Nami survived strongly with the help of Genzo, but Bellmere died forever.
