Chapter 775: Eyes
Orion saw the girl in the interval of crying, and tilted her head slightly to pass a cold look at her. And it was because the Orion saw the girl's unusually cold eyes that he froze there after he took two or three steps forward.
The girl who sold herself to bury her parents, when no one was paying attention, gave the hunter who had already taken a few steps forward and was about to help her up, and handed her a cold look. It was such a cold, refusal to disgust look, but it made the Orion for a moment, and the whole person froze there.
One look at this, although this one is rare, but there are some familiar looks, suddenly evoked Orion, the distant memories that he had deliberately buried in the depths.
For as long as he can remember, this Orion has no impression of his father, and it is his elderly grandmother who depends on him.
Listening to his grandmother, his father went out to do business in the early years, but his father was unlucky, not to mention losing money, and even lost his life outside. And his mother really couldn't stand it, such a poor life, and finally abandoned her son who was waiting to be fed and left this dilapidated family.
At that time, this hunter still didn't understand what kind of situation his father and mother were like. He just knew that he wouldn't be able to see his biological parents. Little Orion is often in the village, when the children rush to their parents to be coquettish and cute, at this time, the little Orion always uses a kind of envy to watch silently from the side.
The people in the village are also very sympathetic to the old and the young, and if they can help at ordinary times, naturally everyone will help them at ordinary times. stumbled like this, and the elderly grandmother still pulled the little Orion to grow up slowly.
When the hunter was a little older and able to play with the children of the village on his own, the grandmother still went up to the mountains every day to collect firewood or pick up some wild vegetables and mushrooms, despite her old health. When I arrived at the market, my grandmother carried these things to the city to sell them for some money, which could be regarded as self-sufficient.
Little Orion remembers that one spring when there was a lot of rain, and the mushrooms in the mountains were more lush than usual, and my grandmother took advantage of that spring to go into the mountains every day to dig mushrooms, dry them, and sell them to the grocery store in the city. And in the spring of that year, my grandmother was beaming every day, often with a big smiling face, and she was even more kind to him.
Orion still remembers that after a busy spring, his grandmother pulled the two of them to sit in a low house, counting the copper plates one by one. It was the first time he had seen so many copper plates. And grandma happily talked to him about his future plans, and the sentence he remembered most clearly was that grandma said that if the money was saved, he would be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future.
That was the first time that the concept of a daughter-in-law was in the heart of the little hunter. In the heart of the little child, in addition to eating a full meal, after going out to play with his friends every day, he also has a concept, that is, he is the one who wants to marry a daughter-in-law in the future.
And after that, when playing with friends, occasionally, everyone will pretend to marry a daughter-in-law. Each time, the little hunter tried to be the groom's officer, and he had to choose the most beautiful girl in the village to be his daughter-in-law.
But gradually, the friends around me and the little hunters are growing up day by day. In another year, when they played the game again, Little Orion obviously won the role of the groom once again, relying on his height.
But when he chose, the most beautiful and tender little girl in the village was called Ling'er, and when he was his bride, the white and tender little girl refused the invitation of the little hunter with such a look.
At that time, the little hunter could not fully understand the meaning in the little girl's eyes. But instinctively, he knew that what was in his eyes was not what he was happy to see.
Now he doesn't remember how the game ended that day, but the look in the little girl's eyes is firmly remembered by him.
Later, my grandmother passed away because she was too old, and there was no one left to take care of the little hunter. Even though the well-wishers in the village proposed that they could adopt the little hunter, they were all rejected by this immature child. He straightened his spine and continued to hold on alone, living in the low rooms. Without his grandmother to take care of him every day, he was a small person, going into the mountains every day to chop firewood as much as possible, digging wild vegetables and mushrooms like his grandmother. Although it is said that the little hunter cooks completely, it is not as delicious as the grandmother's cooking, but it is impossible to eat the dead. Stumbling like this, the little hunter slowly raised himself, and now this tall and burly mountain hunter.
In recent years, as Orion has grown up day by day, it is not that no one in the village has noticed. After all, this young man has backbone and ambition, is hardworking and hard-working, and these advantages are enough in the eyes of the villagers.
So there are also a few families who have taken a fancy to this hunter, the family is simple, and the hunter himself is a hard-working young man. As a result, there will also be people who come to the door to propose marriage for their daughters. But somehow, after people came to the door, after the hunter heard the intention of the people, he inevitably remembered the one buried in his heart, the look that made the body cold from the inside out. It seemed to appear in front of his eyes, so until now, this Orion is still alone.
And today, Orion meets this girl who sold herself to bury her father. From the moment he saw the girl, Orion immediately felt that the girl was as weak as a delicate flower. It seems that a slightly stronger sunlight and a slightly larger mountain breeze can destroy this delicate flower. Almost instinctively, this stimulates the desire of the hunter to protect.
He originally had great feelings of pity and sympathy for this girl, but later he was fooled by Gong Jian, and he was even more worried about this girl's future. That's why this hunter knew that the ten taels of silver was a big debt, and still insisted on borrowing this amount of silver from Gong Jian. And against his usual low-key style, he appeared in front of so many people, just to be able to help this poor girl.
But what he didn't expect at all was that the poor girl in front of him actually let him see that look again. At that moment, the mountain hunter only felt that his body froze there all of a sudden, as if he had lost any heat, and his whole person seemed to be frozen, and it was difficult for him to take a step forward or make any movement.
In the eyes of the onlookers, it was the Orion who was supposed to come forward to comfort the girl, but after walking two or three steps, the Orion did not know what had happened, and the whole person stood there without moving.
