Chapter 297: Under the Fog (6)
Hugh: Could it be that the boy who was lying down was him?"
Susan was a little dazed. When the boy's name was called out in her heart, Susan noticed that the wind had cooled. In fact, the wind that made Susan leave the window in a hurry was not so cold at all, and all the cold came from Susan herself.
Without looking further, Susan tightened the collar of her white linen pajamas with her left hand. Surprised and pitied, Susan couldn't help but want to close the window. However, Susan's right hand is grabbed by Luna.
"There are always some people who don't know how many catties they have. A boy sneaking around in the middle of the night, he must have forgotten who he is. Luna said nonchalantly.
Facing Luna, Susan's heart seems to be bathed in ice water. When she was about to open her mouth to refute, she choked the arrogance in her heart. Indeed, the boy and Luna were strangers at all, and Luna was also out of the position of a bystander, right?, after a moment's thought, Susan exhaled, but still held a mouthful in her stomach.
"That's a living person......" Susan was about to shout, but Luna swallowed it because of Luna's first sigh.
Luna sighed, "That boy, you're going to the flower land of your so-called god of light. ”
Hearing Luna's words, Susan prayed in her heart for the boy who had fallen under the castle, and buried her thoughts of arguing in her heart. She was amazed at Luna's exclamation: a demon had said comforting things more than once. And, in normal times, among those who are constantly busy for the sake of life, there are some people who will watch the excitement without pity, just like some of the people who were around below just now. It's as if, in some ways, Luna is really doing well.
Just now, Susan heard some rumors.
"Look, this poor fellow must have done something immoral and fell from the upper floor. I think the gods are still there! yes, it must be. A person who walks casually in the castle in the middle of the night for some ulterior secret must be punished by heaven. "Someone said so.
"Oh, now...... There is one less person to compete for the salary in the castle......" said another.
In addition to some cold words, there were also some other comments, such as: "Oh my God, how did he become like this...... But he's not the only one who deserves ...... pity."
Susan declined to comment on the attitude of the onlookers. She understands that some people are vicious in their mouths, but they are not really bad. Survival is not easy, let alone when you are hungry and cold. Among these onlookers, even in cold weather, there were those with bare shoulders. Some people have been tortured into cold-blooded people because of the cruelty of life, and Susan can understand.
However, there is a reason why man is different from those beasts. If a person doesn't even have pity, that's really pitiful, Susan couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She watched as Luna fell asleep before lying back down. Later, when she was drowsy, she realized that the reason why Luna was able to sleep peacefully was because Luna had experienced thousands of years of worldly events.
In the long river of time, some things are but a speck of dust. So, Susan began to lament the fragility of life. When the day dawned, she was still muttering, "Pray to the god of light to bless those who are poor...... Hope, warmth remains. ”
After a few prayers, Susan fell asleep again. In her dreams, she dreamed of a boy named Hugh. Although they hadn't seen each other a few times, Susan was sure that the boy named Hugh was a very kind child. At the very least, at the first meeting, Susan saw Hugh come forward and stop the people in the hospital. I'm afraid that in the crowd of this manor, only Hugh who appeared bravely is an existence that can be trusted, Susan thinks so.
Turning over several times in succession, Susan fell asleep. Even she herself didn't know why she slept so deeply, as if someone had deliberately used hypnotic magic. However, Luna didn't do anything.
At dawn of day, Luna reluctantly wakes up. Then, in addition to packing up, it is to write on the parchment roll with a quill. After that, Luna turned several scrolls into a black mist in the palm of her hand. Luna did all this just to prepare for what was to come. If her apprentice, Knight, was there, then she didn't do it herself. So, she muttered, "Knight, where the hell did he go, is he still with the guy with the black dragon axe?"
"Right there, right?" Luna was a little annoyed. Leaving the wooden bench, Luna was about to stuff a freshly written paper into Susan's clothes when she heard a knock at the door.
"Who?"
The person who spoke was Susan. As soon as Susan got up, she saw Luna standing in front of her, and she saw Luna leaning forward with her hands behind her back.
"I'm just ......," Luna slurred, "I'm just looking at how heavy you sleep." Since you're awake, why don't you clean up and open the door again?"
After changing into a dress, Susan didn't want to make the knocker wait too long, so she simply wiped her face without even putting on makeup.
"Please come in ......"
Opening the door, Susan was surprised. The person standing in front of her turned out to be the boy Hugh who he saw in the loquat forest. At this moment, Hugh was holding a square silver tray. On the tray, there are two glasses of milk and two plates of assorted fruits.
Seeing Susan, who was first panicked and then stunned, Hugh opened his mouth first: "Look, you must be hungry." In order to attract his attention, he even imitated the guests who came to visit him by bowing.
"Sorry...... But ......" Susan was a little speechless. But, she was not mistaken, the boy lying under the castle looked the same as Hugh. To make sure, Susan looked at Hugh again. Eventually, she realized her mistake: the handkerchief on Hugh's left arm was a white ......
"Look, you must have recognized the wrong person. This morning, there were a lot of people who were taken aback by me. But it wasn't me who was lying outside. That boy is my twin brother. Hugh spoke naturally, as if he had never been sad.
For a moment, Susan even felt that Hugh and the boy who had died outside were not brothers. However, after Hugh said the latter words, Susan was no longer confused, and even frowned at pity. Hugh said: "In our village, a plague killed many people. My brother and I crawled out of the pile of dead people. My elder brother once said to live a happy life away from the sadness of the village. He is a happy man, and he must be living happily in that world full of flowers! I don't want him to be sad because of my sadness!"
After hearing Hugh, Susan almost froze. After Hugh shrugged, Susan came to her senses and moved the door out of the way. She watched as Hugh placed the tray on the dresser, silent at Hugh's thin figure.
It's just that Hugh is stronger than Susan thought. "I've got to do other work, if you need help, you can go to the backyard and find me. In the backyard, I had to help the hunchbacked uncles with leather and wood. Hugh said with a smile. However, he unconsciously added: "No matter how hard life is, we have to smile." ”
As if being psychologically guided by a child, Susan squeezed out a smile. She tilted her head, as gentle as a priest healing wounds.
"Yes, we have to smile. If you could have another fruit mix, you'd see me smiling all day. Luna forced a conversation. She rushed out of Hugh and pouted her lips to express her dissatisfaction with breakfast.
"It's okay, I'll get you another one. Hugh replied. It's just that he also muttered: Who made you guests?
Hugh, it's naïve. Even in front of guests, he can still express the complaints in his heart. Facing Hugh's back, Susan smiled sincerely: "He is right, we have to face everything in front of us, and it is better to live happily than sadly." ”
"Huh, you got the point?" Luna said to Susan as she returned to her room. Then, she turned the scroll hidden behind her into a black mist, and pulled Susan through the door.
The black mist, without Susan seeing it, secretly disappeared into Susan's palm. Without feeling the fluctuations in the magic, Susan would not be able to detect what Luna was doing. Looking at the breakfast on the dresser, Susan urged herself to eat it.
Susan knew she was reluctant, and she knew she couldn't stop herself from thinking of Glori.
If it was a day with Glori and other friends, then Susan didn't have to deliberately urge herself to eat. Because, there will always be someone who will persuade Susan and tell her the importance of replenishing her strength. That man, most of the time, was Glori. So, when will the clues about Glori appear?
"Are you thinking about him?" Luna asked Susan directly.
"Do you know where he is?" asked Susan. Then, Susan sees Luna smiling—in Susan's eyes, as if Luna did it on purpose.
"Time will always reveal the answer. Luna walked to the window. Looking south of the castle, Luna was silent for a moment. Turning around, she said to Susan, "We'll have to wait, some secrets will come out on their own." ”
"What's the secret?" said Susan, a little impatient, "I mean the things about Glori, Evan, Xavier, and the Knights of Merit, not about the things in this castle. Or are you just trying to get me to find Zoe?"
“......”
Luna was silent for a moment. By the way, she also thought about it.
While secretly following Glori to the City of Miracles, Luna uses magic to give Glori a favor. The fog of the City of Miracles is what Luna has summoned. It's just that she wanted to watch Glori toss around in the ordeal, so she didn't show up or give more help. Later, when she arrived in Flying Town, she hid herself even deeper.
"What the hell do you know?" said Susan, staring into Luna's eyes.
"I know everything...... Luna shrugged her shoulders a little in compromise. She looked at Susan's tearful eyes and fought with herself in her heart: tell Susan directly, who wants such an outcome, and what good will it do her?
