"My little brother!" Hagrid mumbled, his eyes turning red!
He stared at Glop with his eyes wide open, even though he could only see a part of him. Glop's head and feet were blocked by the bushes.
Through the dense leaves, Elwyn could see a large rock covered in moss in the distance.
That was what he thought at first, but it was actually Glop's head.
It was almost a ball, covered in curly, thick hair the color of hyssop.
At the top of the head, he could see the edge of a large, fleshy ear. The head was directly on the shoulders, and there was almost no neck between them.
Perhaps it was because of Fridwafa, but he was wearing clothes that were rarely seen on him. He was wearing a dirty brown smock that looked like it was made of rough animal skin. His back was very wide under the smock.
When Glop slept, the rough seams between the animal hides seemed to be very tight.
His legs were curled up under his body, and when he looked to the other side, he could see two large, dirty, bare feet.
They were as big as sleds, stacked on the muddy ground at the other end of the forest.
Among the giants, Glop was small, a deformed monster, but the "mound" before them was actually big enough for Elwyn, Sirius, Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim to stand on it easily.
"Do you want to say hello to him?" The old giant asked with his head lowered.
Hagrid nodded, but immediately shook his head. "I want to see my mother first!"
"Then we better not wake him up. Let him sleep, he has a bad temper!" The old giant easily stepped over Glop on the ground and continued to move forward. Elwyn and the rest had to go around the other side of the bushes. "Because of his short stature, this child is bullied in the tribe. No one wants to talk to him, he is not suitable for the giant life. I can't imagine what he will do if Fridwafa dies. He will not be able to take care of himself. "
"Is it because he can't find food?"
"Food is one thing. He can catch birds or deer by himself, but he is very lonely!" Herbert looked at Hagrid and said, "He's always alone and can't blend in with the tribe. In the history of the giants, unhealthy children like him are left to fend for themselves."
Elwyn had never thought that he would hear the word "lonely" from the giant's mouth.
Despite their brutality, giants, like humans, have emotions.
He saw that Hagrid had become very sad, and Mrs. Maxim was comforting him in a low voice while holding Hagrid's hand.
Based on Elwyn's understanding of Hagrid, he might have the urge to take care of Glop. Hopefully, he wouldn't do that …
They walked on for another five minutes before they saw a large canopy deep in the woods. The ground was covered with a thick layer of withered grass.
A female giant sat in front of the tree shed and stared blankly at the sky. No one knew what she was thinking.
She was very old. Her face was full of wrinkles, and her back was deeply bent. Her muscles were atrophied, making her look much shorter. Even though the sun was shining brightly, her body was still trembling uncontrollably. The coldness came from inside her body.
She was fully dressed in a dark black robe. This was the most appropriate outfit that Elwyn had seen that day.
She was Hagrid's mother, Fridwafa. She was once a famous female giant in the British Magic World.
On the wanted list issued by the Ministry of Magic, her head was still worth 500 gold coins to this day.
Hearing the footsteps, Fridwafa slowly turned her head. There was no light in her murky eyes.
"Herbert, how come you have time to visit me today?" she said slowly. Her voice was also old and weak.
"I brought someone here. He wants to see you. Look who it is!"
"A human?!" Fridwafa's eyes slid across a few people one by one. Finally, her eyes stopped on Hagrid.
Hagrid took out a large dirty handkerchief from his vest pocket. He wiped his eyes and looked at his mother.
For a few minutes, the two of them just looked at each other. No one said a word.
"Rubo, you are Rubo Hagrid!" After a long time, the female giant said in disbelief, trying to stand up.
She wanted to stand up, but she was too old and weak. Her body swayed and fell back down.
"Mom!" Hagrid murmured. He wiped his eyes with the big handkerchief again.
From a certain point of view, the scene of mother and son reuniting was still very touching, even though the scene was very strange.
Hagrid was finally able to make up for the biggest regret in his heart. He was able to see his mother again.
Fridwafa did not have many feelings for Hagrid. She only asked a few simple questions.
However, she still remembered Hagrid's father. After all, the two of them had a happy time together. He was the first man in Fridwafa's life.
She asked Hagrid many questions about him. After knowing that he was long dead, her expression became even more lonely.
Hagrid told her about his father's last words before he died. Fridwafa slowly waved her hand.
For the first time, sadness appeared on her face, but it disappeared quickly.
It could be seen that this old giant's life was coming to an end. He probably would not last much longer.
The two of them talked for a long time. Elwyn helped Sirius, Mrs. Maxim and Herbert prepare the food on the side.
When the wind blew away the smell of barbecued meat, a piercing roar came from the other side of the forest.
It was Glop. Elwyn saw that he had woken up. It was probably because of the smell of barbecued meat.
The giant roared, and the sound echoed through the silent forest.
The birds on the treetops above them flew away from their perches and disappeared.
The giant Glop was getting up from the ground. He used one of his giant hands to support himself on the ground. When he tried to kneel, the ground shook.
He roared again and turned his head to look for the source of the food.
With a loud rumble, the giant appeared in Elwyn's sight.
His face was shockingly huge, like a greyish-white full moon floating above the gloomy forest.
His facial features looked like they were roughly chiseled out of a large stone ball. His stubby nose was almost shapeless, and his mouth was slanted, filled with oddly shaped yellow teeth the size of half a brick. His eyes were a muddy brownish-green.
If it was the first time he saw such a giant, Elwyn might have been shocked, but he did not feel anything at the moment.
Compared to the other giants, Glop was too short, but he was quite agile.
"My dear brother!" Hagrid's eyes were red as he walked towards Glop, who was charging towards him.
The conversation with his mother just now had made him very emotional. He was in a state of endless melancholy.
He opened his arms and walked towards Glop as if he was going to hug him.
