The Spirit World
Chapter 1054: A Dream on a Rainy Night
【The reason why memories are so moving is that we can choose those beautiful moments, recall them over and over again until they become blurred, change them, and turn them into something that belongs only to us.】
【They pushed the king onto the platform! 】
Water splashed up into the sky with burnt fish flesh and mud, and raindrops fell appropriately on the ground. The fishy and rotten smells intertwined together, accompanied by a faint aroma of barbecue, surrounding the top of Longshou Mountain.
The rain extinguished the flares.
The smell of gunpowder in the air became heavier and heavier, and the damp “smell of dust” seemed to cover up some of the bad smell. After taking a breath of good air, I would have to take another breath of polluted air. After this and that, I could only cover my mouth and nose as much as possible to block out this “strange smell”.
And just at that moment, everyone’s ears were quiet for just a second! It was as if the tinnitus was covered by the heavy rain!
Then! The cold wind came closer and closer, getting louder and louder! Louder and louder! Until the temperature dropped sharply! Everyone couldn’t stop shivering!
Everyone present didn’t understand what would happen next!
That monster hiding at the bottom of the lake will never give up!
The “guy” they were looking for must be out to “take revenge” on them!
Because of the momentary blur of vision, the Eagle Team was unusually panicked and confused. Pylos quickly broke away from their control and quietly moved away from them.
The rain was pouring down, and no one could escape it. The slightly panicked voices of the Flying Eagles were buried, and in the darkness, no one cared about the cunning “sparrow”.
Polos quickly adapted to the darkness, and the cowboy hat swung up and down, reducing Polos’ blurred vision in the rain.
To be honest, he had not expected the situation to turn out like this. Skarner was dragged into the water and disappeared, and the shore was in chaos again.
If the monster dormant in the water is abruptly offended, it will inevitably be in great trouble.
Now, what should we do?
Even though the chill on the mountain was growing, he could clearly feel beads of sweat on his forehead.
While stumbling, Pylos finally saw some light. He didn’t know what it was, but when he saw it clearly, he had already bumped into the light.
“Who?”
Pylos hid back in fear. The person he bumped into was obviously a man, tall and mighty, extremely strong, and with a very strong “rustic” look.
It seems to be the kind of “earthy smell” that only comes from raising cattle and sheep
Obviously, this situation caught him off guard. Pylos twisted his bound hands quickly, trying to break free. The man holding the “light” seemed to pause and asked a question slowly.
“P…Los?”
“what?”
Pylos twisted the rope anxiously and stopped turning to leave immediately. The glowing object was a staff. The rain was too heavy and the light from the staff was obscured and could not be seen clearly.
There was just a spot of light.
“You recognize me?”
“Palos Phoenix!” a woman’s voice shouted behind the man!
Pylos was instantly delighted! There are benefits to being named.
He quickly raised his hands and shook them in front of them: “Yes! I am Paros Phoenix! Quick! I need your help now, help me untie this rope.”
Pylos spoke quickly in the heavy rain. He looked back anxiously and tasted the dirty rain unconsciously. Now he had no time to think about anything else: “My companion was dragged into the lake by the dragon monster! I need to go…”
But before he could finish his words, he was grabbed fiercely by the man and the woman behind him!
Face them hard!
Pylos looked at them in horror!
The visitor is evil?
Some of those “guys” he had messed with before?
The man’s face slowly emerged in the dim light. It was a very calm face that had experienced the vicissitudes of life. There was a very deep wrinkle on his face in his prime, but his eyes were very firm, with an unyielding pride in his fortitude.
“La… Alfa…” Pylos recognized this face!
[Ralph Jones]! His classmate at [Flan]!
Although he hadn’t seen him for almost ten years, he could still remember him! Back then, Palos, him, and several other classmates were the big names on campus. Their “good names” were all over the campus!
Pylos recognized Ralfa unexpectedly, but was soon frightened by the woman behind Ralfa!
“It’s me! Pylos! Aleiya!”
Aileya grabbed Pylos’ arm and it hurt him so much!
When she met this guy, a bad premonition hung in Aileya’s heart!
This familiar feeling! It was like returning to that night more than ten years ago! He was also tied up with his hands and grabbed by an extremely violent young lady!
“【Aleiya Gilmanda】!”
Pylos exclaimed!
“How can it be!”
Pylos suddenly felt dizzy.
Aleiya Gilmanda! The daughter of the Gilmanda family! She was here! No no no! Of course she was here! The news that she eloped with that poor boy had spread all over Fran for a whole year!
And that poor boy!
that is!
Pylos stared at Ralfa in a daze. He was as surprised as if he had learned a shocking secret!
And Aileya’s appearance now is not much different from that of the past, she is breathtakingly beautiful!
In fact, as time went by, she became more mature. The airs of a rich lady disappeared into thin air, and was replaced by the charm of an extremely calm and steady patriarch!
This… is incredible!
Meet them here!
“Ai…” Pylos was about to speak, but Alia grabbed his arm and pinched it hard!
“What are you doing here, Pylos! Are you doing something bad again?” Alia’s eyes were fixed on Pylos. There were even bright, crystal clear things in her eyes, and it was hard to tell whether they were tears or rain.
“What? Is this the first thing you say when old friends meet again?”
Ralfa tapped Pylos’ hand with his glowing staff, and the rope turned into water in the rain, disappearing without a trace.
“I’m an archaeologist. Theoretically, I can appear anywhere in this world.” Pylos pulled up his cowboy hat so that it could cover his head more tightly.
The rain flowed down the brim of his hat, blurring his vision.
“How come you are here? I heard from [Uncle] that you went to [Elf Kingdom] to study? Why are you here?”
Pylos saw Aleiya’s face clearly, and her worry suddenly jumped into her eyebrows. Her golden-white hair shone faintly in the dim light. She grabbed Pylos again and shouted excitedly!
If it’s Pylos, maybe he can help.
“Pylos, now is not the time to talk about this. Have you seen the two children?”
“A boy, this tall, with black hair and black eyes, and a round face, like a little girl.”
“A girl, so tall, with blond hair, small stature, carrying a basket?”
“They said they went up the mountain to collect herbs! They haven’t come back yet!”
Aileya anxiously described the characteristics of the two children. In the heavy rain, her voice was very hoarse.
“What?!” Pylos was extremely surprised. He glanced at Ralfa, whose eyes were burning. Pylos didn’t quite understand why Alia asked her these questions, but looking at the two of them, the shadows of the two children emerged in his mind in an instant.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if it was a long-awaited reunion, the two of you were doing this and that, really surprising and happy, but the corners of his mouth disappeared all of a sudden, a feeling of headache crept up to the top of his head, making his nose twitch.
“I……”
Pylos hesitated. This was not a good thing. If he told it out, he didn’t know if he could make up for it.
If these two knew that I was the one who lost the two children, wouldn’t they kill me?
“Sure enough!” Aileya saw Pylos’s hesitation! She grabbed Pylos’ arm tightly and pressed a blood mark: “I knew it! Pylos, everything related to you will get bad! Tell me where the child is?!”
“Calm down! Aleiya! I know where they are! I know which two children you are talking about!” Pylos wanted to dodge, but Aleiya’s grip was tighter than the rope just now! He couldn’t get away at all!
“Calm down! Aileya!” Ralfa pulled Aileya away distressedly! He slowly placed his hand on Aileya’s head and held her in his arms.
“It’s raining so heavily! Ralfa!” Alia even looked at Pylos viciously.
She almost lost her mind for a moment.
In her impression, Pylos was always accompanied by danger. Whether on Fran’s campus or in countless major events in the principality, the archaeologist Pylos Phoenix was always there.
Danger seemed to be bound to him.
She didn’t quite understand why a man could be so adventurous and “alone”.
A guy like this!
Rain! It covered all the sounds.
Including secret, slow sobs.
Sometimes I really don’t know whether it is the rain that is causing trouble, or something called loneliness.
Sometimes, even though you clearly don’t belong here, you are still forced to accept it. There is so much loneliness in a foreign land.
“Go! Elaine!” Sophia looked at Isas’s broken wings. She became extremely “weak” – the huge dragon’s body became like this! A broken shell! Her arms were flowing with thick, hot blood! The pain that seemed to have never belonged to her pierced her nerves like a rolling knife. Her instinct for survival made the thin dragon wings that burst out from her back tremble against her broken ribs!
The injury she received was too severe, and the recovery time was too short! Her left face had been torn apart! Only the terrible facial bones were left, and her furious golden vertical pupils and the corners of her mouth that were still twitching due to the pain were clenched and twitching because of the anger in her heart!
The cold wind swept across Wenti County!
This endless plain and hills seemed to have ushered in a new, elusive [power]!
Isas’s left face was torn and her right hand was broken! She drooped like a dying man, with her legs spread apart like a grown man! She used her remaining strength to hold on to the ice crystal spear that symbolized the dragon’s [power] to support her shaky body.
The wind blew away the bright red blood on the white dress!
The thin wings of a dragon that seemed to be growing suddenly appeared behind him, like dried bones clinging to fallen flesh! Or like an unborn chick in an egg!
Hair and bones, blood everywhere!
She should really feel that she is lonely.
“Elaine!”
The bonfire and the execution platform behind me! Autumn’s cry came!
Thousands of years ago, evil was still unknown.
Everyone is confused about who should die!
Ignorant and stupid! Classify all those who are unwilling to conform to themselves as [aliens!]
And [Alien]!
You deserve to die!
A union between humans and so-called “monsters”!
The human Sophia and the “mountain god” Qiu were tied to the execution platform, together, paying the price for this ignorant stupidity!
You deserve to die!
The culprit was hiding in the crowd, staring at Elaine arrogantly!
The corners of his mouth twitched as well! That was a smug smile! And attached to it was an indelible viciousness!
Issas doesn’t understand why a woman doesn’t want to marry a man, but falls in love with another man. The former has no bottom line! She wants the latter to die!
Those human eyes were staring fiercely! Those painful dragon eyes!
She is also among this crowd!
Staring fiercely!
These eyes!
Humanity!
lonely.
I’m so lonely that I’ve lost my sense of pain.
So lonely.
I don’t want to live…
rain,
Noisy and chaotic, with a howling cold wind.
It seemed to wake her up.
“Damn it! Humph!” Diamont tilted her head in disgust, but she did not reject the smell! She was enjoying the carnival prelude to the impending crisis!
“Flying Eagles, listen up!”
She yelled loudly!
In the darkness, the sound of raindrops hitting clothes became louder and louder! Puff, puff, puff! The air around them became hot!
“cheer up!”
“Set up the artillery!”
Diamont drew out the command sword once again. The buttons on her chest were bulging because of her proud figure, which actually left traces of rain! It formed a curtain of rain!
But just as she was about to move, she heard a sound of bones cracking!
Those were definitely not human bones, but some kind of monster! It was crawling angrily in the dark! That was why the bones made a strange creaking sound!
【Gala! 】
【Galala! 】
The command sword was slowly unsheathed, and suddenly there was lightning and thunder in the sky!
A bloody mouth rushed in front of Diamont!
A bite! It was about to bite off Diamont’s arm! Fortunately, Diamont sensed it! He stabbed it with his sword! It hit the center of the bloody mouth! The monster was small and elusive. At this moment, it struggled under Diamont’s sword for two seconds, and its head drooped loosely!
Diamont swung his sword! He threw away the monster whose appearance he hadn’t even known yet! Then, he shouted to the team behind him!
“Team Two!”
“alert!”
Suddenly! There was another lightning and thunder!
A lot of rattling sounds rang out one after another! They crawled darkly! They jumped out of the water quickly from the lake! Some even flew out of the water directly! They pounced on the crowd! Everyone saw their faces at this time!
Those were wrinkled faces, with spikes and smooth scales that were about to change shape!
Fish head! “Deformed dragon body”! White bones!
Their red dead fish eyes were as dumbfounded as a chicken! It made the movement of those deformed bones even more weird and terrifying!
Another terrifying monster that was mutated by the power of the dragon roared in the rain! They were like the remains of bodies abandoned in a dry well, sticky with unknown juice.
They opened their bloody mouths and bit everything they saw!
The Eagles are ready to go!
The light brought by the thunder is fleeting!
The sky darkened again!
Everyone held their breath!
Until the rattling sound got closer!
Getting closer!
The captain of the Eagle Team’s Seventh Squad, named Kraft Kataka, gritted his teeth and looked angrily at Diamont who was swinging his sword to chop at the dragon monsters!
“Damn it, I knew it would turn out like this!” He pulled out a long steel knife from his sleeve and slashed at the monster that was rushing towards him!
“madman!”
The dark green monster blood splashed in the sky, and the fishy and smelly mysterious liquid also splashed on people’s faces with the echo of the blade.
“Don’t embarrass yourself! Eagles!”
Diamonte kicked off the head of an ichthyosaur monster with force, but she laughed instead: “Don’t let me underestimate you!”
“You’ll get used to it, Kraft.” The captain of the third team, Manola Lancie, swung a hammer and smashed a ichthyosaur away. She rolled her eyes. Some light appeared in the sky from time to time. They all looked at Diamont, who was slashing the ichthyosaur with all his might! Manola laughed amusedly, “At least she has a good figure.”
Kraft looked at Diamont’s proud breasts shaking and hitting her clothes to form a curtain of rain, and shook his head absentmindedly. But just as he was absent-minded, a fish dragon monster pounced on him, trying to grab his back, and was about to bite his neck with a puff!
In a flash, Manola struck the ichthyosaur with another hammer, smashing it in the air. Green blood and mysterious juice splattered all over Kraft’s body. Kraft’s face was completely covered with blood. The rain fell and washed part of it, revealing Kraft’s stunned face slightly.
“What? Are you confused?”
Manola laughed, she imitated Diamonte’s loud laugh, and swung the hammer down with all her strength!
“Haha! Cheer up! Kraft! Don’t let me underestimate you!”
“Tsk!” Kraft touched his face, raised the steel knife with force, and slashed at the monster beside him.
He glanced at Diamonte again, and this time, Diamonte just happened to look at her! Diamonte was covered in filth, with green blood and sticky liquid washed by the rain, but her golden hair was extremely dazzling. Under her violent movements, the clothes that were about to burst looked even more “hot”! A button almost broke!
This woman! She was staring at him with a very evil look, looking down on him! She was extremely arrogant!
madman!
Kraft cursed in his heart! He threw himself into the battle, thinking that if it weren’t for this crazy woman, their Eagles would not have to face the current situation like this.
If it were him, he would definitely wait until Pylos and Skarner lured “that thing” out and then take it all in and enjoy the benefits.
This is why he did not recognize Pylos and Skarner. When chasing Skarner and Pylos, he always rushed to the back and did not meet them.
Now, this stupid behavior of alerting the enemy and even telling “that guy” that he was coming was simply unreasonable in Kraft’s view!
The cold air brought by the impending awakening of “that guy” furiously swept through the heat of the summer night. In that instant, everyone felt as if winter had arrived early!
Her hands became so soft and smooth, her hair fluttered in the dragon egg, and in the white “dragon cave” full of ice crystals, a small human-shaped lamb was sleeping with her.
The world has become unpredictable.
The gears of fate exploded!
For a moment!
A loud roar woke Jack up from his dream!
“what happened?”
In the dim light, Elizabeth was wearing a pair of beautiful white-rimmed glasses and a white pajamas with a dangling bow. For a moment, her profile was softly shining and blurred under the warm light.
Everything in the room was gentle and luxurious. Elizabeth’s wardrobe was also moved here. No one would question her dignity.
She is reading a book and has not fallen asleep yet.
He seemed to have seen her somewhere.
Jack was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He suddenly forgot everything in his dream! All that was left was his cold back and shivering body.
He curled up quickly, and the Canglong Jade Pendant was revealed as his hands moved.
A terrible, terrible thing called loneliness seized his heart, in countless days and nights in this strange world, in countless days and nights in this world of humiliation and ridicule!
In this!
He doesn’t belong in this world!
Loneliness gnawed at his soul.
He looked at Elizabeth who was walking towards him, and at that moment, he thought that she was extremely beautiful.
It’s the kind of feeling that is hard to describe, I just feel that this girl is very pretty, very beautiful, very beautiful, the kind of praise that comes from the heart.
He had clearly never met her before. Even just now, he had only known her for a few hours.
He didn’t think she was beautiful at that time.
“nothing.”
Jack shook his head.
“Nothing~” Elizabeth smiled playfully and slowly sat next to Jack.
She smells so good.
Elizabeth put a piece of clothing on Jack. She looked at the sweat beads on his forehead. In the dim light, she sent her sweet scent, like jasmine, into Jack’s nostrils.
A blush flushed his cheeks.
But she looked at him as if he were a poor child.
I don’t know which civilian’s child is missing. Their parents must be very worried.
She always thinks of herself as an adult.
She must have had very good upbringing.
“Too…too close…”
Jack twisted his body to move to the side, but Erica was sleeping next to him and it was inconvenient for him to move, so he turned over a little embarrassedly.
“What?” Elizabeth didn’t hear Jack’s words clearly, and she picked up Jack’s clothes until there were no wrinkles. “You seem to have had a nightmare.”
Elizabeth’s voice was very soft. She placed her hands on her skirt at her thighs and slowly turned her head to glance at Jack.
Jack’s blush did not fade away, and it became even redder when she stared at him like that.
he guessed.
She must have had a very good background.
Very good education,
Very good everything!
Most importantly, she belongs here!
She belongs to this world!
Everything she had belonged to her, including the pain.
“No, no…I didn’t have a nightmare.”
“So, were you scared by thunder?”
“No… well… a little.”
“Oh~”
Elizabeth nodded thoughtfully.
She found it very interesting to talk to this younger kid because he was always acting weird and didn’t tell her the truth.
Five hours ago, he was running happily, and five hours later, he looked as pitiful as an unwanted lamb, which made her feel a little sympathetic.
This child has something heavier in his heart than she does.
“To be honest, this thunder is really scary. I can’t fall asleep.”
Elizabeth looked up and looked at the light that was slowly blending with the darkness. The lights in the room were a little dim, but the rain covered the light brought by the moon, as if it was only this place that was raining.
No, to be precise, it was only Longshou Mountain that was raining. Wenti County was ravaged by cold winds on a hot summer night, and the moon, which should have been warm in the summer night, also became unusually cold.
“Yes…” Jack relaxed a lot and let go of his curled up posture. First, he stretched out his legs slowly. The bed was very soft, the kind of soft silk bed he had never slept on. Then, he sat up straight and pulled the clothes Elizabeth gave him.
The Canglong jade pendant staggered back to his chest.
“What about you?” Jack asked, “Why don’t you sleep?”
She must have had a very good life.
“I’m afraid of thunder just like you, Jack.” Elizabeth said Jack’s name generously: “But it’s also because I don’t have the habit of going to bed early. I usually have to go to bed very late.”
“Very late?” Sometimes, Jack didn’t even know what he was saying, and a casual word became a question.
“Yes, very late. Maybe it’s because I have to face so many problems every day. If I spend too much time sleeping, I will definitely feel uneasy.”
She must…know that he looked like a pathetic fellow.
Jack didn’t know what Elizabeth was talking about. He just thought that this girl was so beautiful and her words were so philosophical. He couldn’t understand it at all.
After the cold, all that remains is boredom.
An inexplicable fatigue came over him. Jack smelled the floral scent on the girl’s body and didn’t dare to breathe for even a second longer. He could only take a slow breath, which then turned into a long sigh.
call……
Why do I feel so tired?
The body feels as if it has lived for centuries. It is so tired that it even feels like…
So……
Long and distant…
lonely……
I was so lonely that I couldn’t stop shaking.
Jack didn’t understand why he came to this world…
I don’t understand why he has to be completely different from others…
I don’t understand why I should live.
Would it be the same without myself?
If the parents who picked him up had raised Erica alone, would they have received less contempt?
Isn’t there this “guy” who doesn’t know any magic?
Will they live a better life?
Doesn’t he belong here?
Jack slowly lowered his head.
A beautiful girl sat next to him, and he could feel her beauty, and then, this beauty crushed him!
His timidity and inferiority complex, thinking that he didn’t belong here, were fully exposed!
“I want to go out for a walk, can you please…let me go for a while?”
He prides himself on being strong and brave, and not afraid of loneliness.
Jack wanted to go around Elizabeth to put on his shoes, but Elizabeth looked at him in confusion: “Jack, it’s raining so hard outside, do you want to go out for a walk?”
She was surprised at what Jack was thinking.
“…”
Jack didn’t say anything. In fact, he just wanted to stay away from her. For some reason, he felt that she was so… well… so beautiful, so beautiful that he shouldn’t look at her, let alone sit next to him.
Inferiority and mute anger were like claws, gnawing at Jack’s heart.
Jack seemed to agree with Elizabeth’s words and wanted to move his butt to put on his shoes, but he felt awkward because he didn’t want to get close to Elizabeth.
“You are the kind of child who looks sunny and cheerful, but is actually very fragile inside.” Elizabeth looked at Jack as he moved away awkwardly with a smile. She felt the pressure that this child named Jack gave her.
In fact, when they were running together at dusk, they were playing and laughing, but now, the little guy seemed like a different person.
Not sunny at all, in fact, like a ridiculous character filled only with dark emotions.
“I don’t know, but maybe I could… go out for a walk.”
Jack hesitated to speak. In fact, he realized that what he said was illogical, but he needed to be humble and appear to not care.
Stubbornness distorted his face, and under the light, he seemed like a completely different person.
Elizabeth was very perceptive and she was right.
Even at home, Jack always felt that he was out of place. He knew deeply that he did not belong here, did not belong to this world, but he could not face the difficulties of leaving this home. He was happy on the surface, but he was extremely depressed in his heart.
The forced strength and the “loneliness” caused by not knowing magic were forced upon Jack, and were finally exposed at the Dragon Assembly. Jack was even humiliated and won the title of last place.
The first time he cried in his life was because of losing.
He never cried again after that.
In fact, he secretly learned swordsmanship, waving the wooden stick sword around randomly, thinking that his parents who didn’t know magic were living well, but he never stopped practicing day after day.
He is such a contradictory person.
On one hand, I am happy, on the other hand, I am depressed.
But he is the only one who knows that he does not belong to this world.
“No, no, no, even if you think you can, I won’t let you go out.” Elizabeth stopped him and grabbed his arm: “It’s raining heavily outside, and there are such loud thunder. Obviously, as a normal person, you shouldn’t go out again.”
Jack felt himself suddenly sober.
“Mom and Dad must be worried about us.” He curled up slowly again, the blue dragon jade pendant had never shone so brightly: “I told them I was going up the mountain to collect herbs. In the end, I haven’t returned yet.”
He looked at his toes. “They must be worried.”
Some of the things my parents said to me came into my mind, and the one they said the most was “Be happy, Jack.”
But, but…
Responsibility is like a steel knife…
They entrusted their younger sister to me, and entrusted the safety of their biological daughter to me, a child who was not their biological child…
How could this be in his heart?
Fragile.
All the bad emotions seemed to pull him back to reality all of a sudden.
Elizabeth was silent.
Yes, what was she saying? Actually, she didn’t consider him at all, did she?
He was a child that his parents would worry about. That was all. If we were to talk about danger, in the eyes of his parents, the two of them might have already met with misfortune.
“If I take Erica back now, maybe she can still be saved.”
I went up the mountain to collect herbs hundreds and thousands of times and always returned home, but this time, I didn’t go back the whole night.
As a brother, this was unforgivable. He glanced at Erica, who was sleeping soundly, lying on her back, without any pressure.
Perhaps, this is what a child is like. To a child with so many dark sides in his heart, he is simply an “alien”.
Elizabeth understood what Jack meant.
“If I can get home safely tomorrow, nothing should happen.” She hesitated. The wind and rain outside didn’t seem to stop.
Is this the price of being premature? Losing your smile early and taking on responsibility.
Elizabeth followed Jack’s gaze and looked at Erica, but soon her eyes stopped on Jack.
He is actually very thin, and his clothes fit him well, so he doesn’t look that thin. His black hair is shiny, and although his face is childish, it already has edges and corners and is very handsome. With his melancholy eyes, no one would think that he is a cheerful child.
The Canglong jade pendant was reflected by the light, pure and white, and seemed to be flashing a faint glow.
She froze for a moment.
My hand involuntarily touched the jade pendant.
Her eyes shone with light, as if she was mesmerized by the blue dragon jade pendant. The blue dragon jade pendant seemed to sense Elizabeth’s touch, and the bluish-white light became thicker and thicker. The blue dragon on the jade pendant actually took shape! It appeared in a very deep black color!
It was like ink, turbid, in the shape of an ancient dragon, floating within the light of the jade pendant!
Like a fish in water!
【Boom! 】
Elizabeth was startled by the sound of thunder. She woke up instantly, and the light of the blue dragon jade pendant disappeared instantly!
Jack noticed Elizabeth’s abnormality and looked at her with a frown. Then he noticed that his jade pendant was exposed, so he naturally put it back into his clothes, leaving only the vermilion chain.
“No, I have to go back!”
Uneasy, he trembled as he spoke and let out a long sigh.
He shook Erica, who hummed and looked at her brother in confusion. She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, sat up, and stretched.
Elizabeth didn’t know whether he was really too precocious or really stupid, but this boy definitely had a strong psychological burden.
Although she didn’t know everything about him, out of a sense of apology and sympathy, she stood up and looked at Jack.
She saw the light in Jack’s eyes and she stopped trying to stop him.
“I’ll go see if there’s anyone who can escort you back.”
Jack also stood up slowly.
He didn’t actually know what time it was, but he knew the sun hadn’t risen yet.
My parents, who were anxiously waiting for me at home, were just at the foot of the mountain. I just needed to walk down the mountain slowly and I would be able to go back.
He didn’t think his idea was stupid. As long as he still had the ability to communicate with plants, he would be able to return to the foot of the mountain safely.
The wind outside was getting stronger and louder, and the thunder was flickering intermittently. In such bad weather, the wisest decision was to stay where you are.
However, the little boy firmly believed that he could bring his sister back home safely.
He believed that his parents were anxiously waiting for him and his sister to return home.
Once upon a time, there was also such a little lamb who believed that his king would return to this world.
Once upon a time, there was someone who loved him so much that she came to him regardless of everything and covered in scars.
Once upon a time, there was also a little boy who, after countless times of hesitation and confusion, walked towards a journey home without an answer.
In fact, he never changed.
In fact, he has always been alone.
In fact, he is just such a child, believing in everything he believes.
Even if the road ahead is long and full of difficulties, he will be determined to do it.
Perhaps fate would also feel sad, as he could have waited comfortably until dawn.
He could have been the one making others wait without any other guilt feelings.
He could obviously accept it with peace of mind, accept all the beautiful things.
but.
but.
but.
There was always a voice telling him.
He can’t, stand still.
He can’t just sit back and enjoy himself.
He couldn’t indulge in dreams.
Now, even though Xun Huangying didn’t appear, he looked a bit like him.
Responding to other people’s expectations can be painful.
“No need. We can go back by ourselves.”
Jack looked at Erica and helped her straighten her clothes, just like Elizabeth had just straightened his clothes, smoothing out the wrinkles.
“But it’s raining too hard outside.”
Elizabeth glanced at Jack: “You don’t know how to…”
She swallowed her words back halfway through.
“I’ll go with you.”
“why?”
“I don’t know.” Elizabeth shrugged slowly and shook her head slowly: “Maybe it’s because…”
“I want to see what kind of parents can raise a good child like you.”
“Good boy?”
Jack was a little stunned.
“Don’t you feel it?” Elizabeth smiled.
“You are very good and obedient. You are a good child.”
Jack was confused by what she said, but he didn’t ask why.
Even in her memories many years later, Elizabeth would never forget the child who was going home on a stormy night.
He was a little dazed, and a terrible warm current flowed into his blood, bringing him warmth.
Is he a good boy?
Maybe it’s because of a sense of responsibility, a sense of guilt. Or maybe it’s the sense of comfort that can only be achieved by going home.
This young boy in his early teens was not afraid of any danger and went back to the place he considered home.
She was so moved and had mixed feelings that she remembered it for the rest of her life.
Although later,
One of them,
Her name is Chen Lin’er.
One is called.
Chang Yufeng.
The same is true.
One night many years later, Chen Lin’er asked Chang Yufeng what he was thinking at the time that made him want to take Erica home on such a dangerous rainy night.
