Chapter 345: Balak (5)
A child who ate one-pot meals for two years in the depths of the Red and Black Mountains.
'The girl you helped today is his sister. Her name is Ahul.'
Vikir thought for a moment and remembered a girl named Ahul.
The young girl who had once lined up outside the barracks at dawn to be Vikir's wife.
They had grown very close after Vikir rescued her from being mocked and sexually harassed by Bourgeois merchants.
'Ahul was always weak. I was worried that she was getting weaker and weaker due to an unexplained illness, but now that I think about it, it might have been the glass beads that those merchants brought with them.'
Vikir found the earrings that were causing Ahul's health to deteriorate and removed all the drugs that were in them, and she was able to regain her health.
But Vikir hadn't seen the girl since leaving jungle.
"...You've grown up a lot."
Vikir said with a somewhat dazed expression.
On the surface, the girl in front of him looked to be in her early to mid-30s.
