Chapter 7: The Observer
The Observer and Nebucent came to a village where the houses were made of rat-backed gray stones and zinc-gray stones. This village is the village where Ander and Both were born, Yoshimura.
There was no vegetation or water in the vicinity of Yoshimura, and such a harsh environment did not give the people of Yoshimura a chance to survive, so they formed the Grom of Yoshimura, or desert bandits, to raid the caravans passing by in the vicinity to survive. Even so, there are still many people in Yoshimura who choose to leave this world peacefully or leave the village where they were born, and go to other villages or cities to find a possibility of survival. The gradual reduction of the number of people in the village has made life a little easier for those who remain, and the desert bandits are also getting better and better under the leadership of Neibu Sente, Ender and Both, and the people of Yoshimura can even forget the worries of survival for a while and enjoy life for a while, but only for a short time...
The observer walked behind Neibu Sente, and the ancient people came out of their homes one after another, looking at the limping Neibu Sente, and no one stepped forward to support Neibu Sente, so the ancient people began to cry after seeing Neibu Sente, and it didn't understand why. Some of the ancients just covered their faces and wept quietly, while others wept so heartbreakingly that the observers were so frightened that they immediately ran to the side of Neibu Sente. With her head down, she walked towards Ender's house, and neither the observer nor the Ancients could see her expression. The observer came to her right foot and raised his head to look at the inner step of the son, whose face was full of pain, and tears overflowed from his eyes and continued to fall into the white sand.
Several ancient people wanted to rush to her side, but they were all stopped by the ancient people around them. The remaining ancient people in Yoshimura are all old people, women, and children. The observer walked the way with Nebucent, but did not see a single ancient Terran male.
Neibu Sente suddenly stopped, and the observer also stopped, and it followed Neibu Sente's gaze to the gray stone house on the left side, and two figures were faintly seen in the stone house, one figure was sitting on the ground leaning against the stone wall, and the other was sitting on the ground leaning on the former's thigh. Nebu Sente walked into the stone house, and the observer followed her to the stone house.
In its eyes are a little girl and a woman, none other than Ender's partner and daughter. Ender's partner and daughter were asleep, and the sound of crying outside could be heard in the stone house, but the two were still asleep. Nebu Sente walked up to Ender's partner and gently shook her left shoulder with his right hand, waking her up from her sleep. Her eyes were swollen, as if she had cried before, and her eyes revealed her deep tiredness and sadness, and nightmares haunted her. The corners of her mouth instinctively rose when she saw Neibu Sente, but when she realized that Neibu Sente was alone, she covered her mouth with both hands, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes again. The nightmare became a reality.
Ender's partner let go of her hands, her lips already pursed tightly. She removed her daughter's head with both hands and carefully placed it on the ground. Standing up, she pulled Neibu Sente to the sand outside the stone house, she was about to say something, suddenly her legs went limp, and she fell towards Neibu Sente, Neibu Sente stepped forward to support her, and let her stand with her body in her arms.
"He... He—" Her voice was so weak that she couldn't even speak it all, grief stopped her.
Even if she only heard the two words coming from her mouth, Neibu Sente knew what she wanted to say and what she wanted to ask, Neibu Sente clenched his fists, and his nails pierced into his palms, which hurt very much, but his heart hurt even more. Nebushant was not as good as her, because Nebushant could no longer utter a word, as if something had strangled her neck, gagged her mouth, and cut out her tongue.
Ender's partner gave up on asking Nebucent. Because she knew she couldn't ask, and neither could she answer. She turned her head to look at her daughter, who was still asleep, and the moon-white observer lay beside her, carefully observing her daughter. She watched, and the tears in her eyes gradually accumulated, but they never flowed from the corners of her eyes. She turned her head and looked at the inner step.
"You... You do it for me... Take care of Andu—" She looked at her daughter again.
"What about you?" Insideshin stared at her intensely, fearing that she would say the answer she didn't want to hear.
She kept closing her eyes and struggling to open them again. Shaking her head slightly, this movement seemed to take the last strength she had left, and she had to completely collapse on the inner step of Sente's body. Neibu Sente was a little choked, he already knew her choice, he couldn't do anything except take care of her and Ender's daughter, all day today, this feeling of powerlessness kept eroding his heart, Neibu Sente's palm hurt more and more, but it still couldn't compare to the pain in his heart.
Ender's partner suddenly opened his half-closed eyes and regained his senses. She looked at her daughter again, fascinated. She turned her head to look at Nebu Sente, a smile on her face, and she gently hugged Nebu Sente. Turning to leave her own house and walking towards the entrance of Yoshimura's village, her tears could no longer be held back and poured down. When she walked to Yoshimura's door, she noticed that there were many Yoshimura people in front of her, and everyone had similar thoughts to her, and they looked at each other, and everyone had tears on their faces.
Andu woke up at this time, looked around, and saw no mother's figure, but a moon-white two-tailed creature lying beside him. Her curiosity made her want to touch its moon-white tails, and the observer's eyes were clear enough to see her unreserved curiosity, and it did not resist her touch, allowing her to caress its own tails.
The observer turned to look at Nebucent, who had been standing on the sand in front of the stone house for a long time, rubbing her eyes and wiping her tears with her hands. It stood up and walked towards the inner step of the house, and when it reached the door of the stone house, it turned its head to look at Andu, blinked its blue eyes, turned its head to the inner step of the center again, and slowly walked to her side, and gently pushed her right foot with its own head. Nebu Sente picked up the observer and held him in his arms, and the observer felt her shiver and the warmth of her tears.
Andu leaned on the stone wall and came to the door of the stone house, firmly grasped the stone wall, poked his little head out of the door, looked left and right, and his two clear eyes searched for the trace of his mother, but he couldn't find it, but she saw Neibu Sente.
"Sister Neibu Sente!" Andu's voice came from the door of the stone house with her excitement.
"Andu..."Neibu Sente heard Andu's shout, and lowered the observer from his arms, rubbing his hands harder, she didn't want Andu to see what he was now.
"What's wrong with you, sister?" Andu heard the choked voice in Neibu Sente, which was very strange, and her eyes continued to search for her mother's traces.
"It's okay... My sister is just a little tired......" Neibu Sente barely controlled his emotions and turned around and walked towards Andu.
Ann didn't think much about it or doubt it, but the disappearance of her mother made Ann very uneasy, "Sister, have you seen my mother?"
Andu's soft voice sent these ten words into Neibu Sente's ears, touching her heart, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears again.
"Your... Mom... She—" Nebushant squeezed the words out of her mouth, she felt like she could cry out loud at any moment, she had to hold back, "She... I'm going to find you... Father... up..."
"Are you going to find Daddy?" Andu's eyes widened as he stared at Neibu Sente, his eyes full of strangeness, "Why didn't Mom take me with you?"
"Your dad... In a... Far away... Far away... Place..."Neibu Sente lowered her head, not letting herself see Andu's overly clear eyes, she was afraid that she would keep looking at Andu, and she couldn't help crying, "Your mother is going to find... He... It's tiring and hard... Let me... For her... Take care of you... Until they... Come back together..."
Confusion appeared in Andu's eyes, but the confusion quickly left her eyes, and she nodded, and with great difficulty, walked over to Ubushent's side, and hugged Insidesent's right leg.
"Then I'll listen to my sister, obediently, and wait for Mom and Dad to come to us. A bright smile appeared on Andu's face, and ultramarine caressed her little face, making her look extra warm.
"Well, let's wait together for your mom and dad to come to us. Neibu Sente took a deep breath, adjusted his state of mind, and regained his composure. Ultramarine also caressed her face, but made her look extremely lonely.
The observer walked to the stone hut and lay down against the stone wall, exhausted from the day's running and danger. All four legs were already sore and weak. Neibu Sente and Andu also came to the stone house, Andu carefully walked to the observer and observed the observer, the observer was also observed by a little girl of the ancient people for the first time, a little uncomfortable, but it was too tired to move, so she let her observe herself. Its half-squinted blue eyes looked at Neibu Sente, who was sitting against the opposite stone wall, she had closed her eyes, it knew how painful she was, the group of ancient people who were with her should have died... Suffering the pain of losing a companion again and again, it has experienced it twice before.
The first time was when his parents and himself were forced to leave the group, and the group was hunted down by the ancient people, and it and its parents could only escape, constantly watching their companions die one by one, and they could do nothing.
The second time was the loss of his parents, Su Poer killed his parents with his own hands in front of his eyes, it was so painful that it lost its mind, it was completely confused, it was still so helpless at that time, it couldn't do anything.
Looking at the slightly emaciated and haggard appearance of Neibu Sente, it felt very uncomfortable in its heart, but it still couldn't do anything...
Andu was full of curiosity about the observer, and kept touching its body, and after finding that the observer did not resist her touch, he slowly approached its body, put his head on its body, and lay down against it, the moon-white fluff was very warm and very soft, and Andu liked this feeling very much. She looked at the inner step of the center, she was full of curiosity about the observer, she wanted to ask the inside step of the center about everything about the observer, but the inside step of the center of the current look very much like the mother who had been sleeping before, she blinked her eyes, turned her gaze to the observer, the observer also turned her eyes from the inside step to Andu, and looked at each other, the weariness of the observer made it quickly close its eyes, and also fell into a deep sleep, and the end became more and more curious after looking at each other... It just looked at me with tiredness in its eyes, and seemed to want me not to disturb its rest... It's amazing! It's amazing! I want my sister to tell me what it is, what it's called... I miss my mom so much... Andu turned her head sideways, and her mother's goodbye still touched her heart. She began to miss her mother, so much, so much.
The observer dreams of his parents in his sleep, the father standing against his mother, the father's eyes showing a little guilt, and the mother's eyes showing endless doting. The parents looked at each other, and the emotions diffused at this moment. They turned and walked off into the distance. As the figures get smaller and smaller, the observer tries to catch up with them, but his steps become heavier and heavier, and he can only watch them go away. They disappeared from their sight and woke up from their dreams. Andu leaned her head sideways against her body, her clear emerald green eyes lost their lustre, and her shoulder-length chestnut hair blended into the moon-white fluff of the observer, she was still stuck in her own world, as if she had been thinking about something, thinking about it.
The observer propped up his upper body with his left front leg and looked at the sleeping Neibu Sente opposite, still wandering in the world of her dreams, but the world of dreams might be too cruel for her, and tears kept overflowing from the corners of her eyes. The observer was affected by the inner step of Sente, and his mood became depressed, and he had forgotten about seeing his parents in his dreams, but now he gradually remembered them, and he missed them a little, and his head hung gently to the ground, which was very cold and icy, which made his somewhat unpleasant mood even worse.
Its ears twitched slightly, and there was silence outside the stone house, and the crying had stopped. Even the voices of the ancient people could not be heard. It blinked its teal eyes, strange at this, it was too quiet outside. It shook its body, and Andu stepped out of his own world and returned to reality. Watch as the observer stands up in front of him and walks out of the stone house. She turned her head to look at the Inside, then back to look at the observer who had already reached the door of the stone house, her fingers playing with each other, she stood up and walked carefully towards the observer, she decided to follow the observer and let the insider rest in the stone house.
The observer came to the sand outside the stone house, and his ears continued to stir... It's too quiet, this ancient village is too quiet...... It walked in the direction of Yoshimura's entrance, and sparse footsteps could be heard behind it, and the observer glanced back to see that it was Ando following him, trying to quietly follow him without being detected by himself. When he saw it, he stuck out his tongue and grinned. Blinking at Anto, it turned its head back and continued to observe Yoshimura's unusually quiet condition.
The wind gently blew towards the sand of Yoshimura, blowing the white sand, causing it to flow under the feet of the observer and Ando with a slight trembling sound. The observer didn't care about the white sand flowing under his feet, it and Andu behind him had already walked through the small half of the village, along the way, there was no trace of the ancient people in each of the gray and zinc-gray stone houses on the back of the rat, they seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and the women, old people, and children that it and Neibu Sente had seen before were gone, could it be that they all left the village quietly? The observer is confused, they will not leave the place where they were born and live unless they have to, the ancient human race seems to be completely different from the observer...
Suddenly, the observer heard the sound of stomping on the ground coming from Yoshimura's door, which was hurried, and then disappeared in an instant, followed by the sound of slight footsteps. Its ears twitched violently, and a trace of uneasiness seeped into its cyan eyes, it had never heard the sound of stomping on the ground, so it didn't know where the sound came from, but the slight footsteps were mostly of the ancient people... Is it the ancient people of this village? Or the ancient people who came to this village from somewhere else? She is still asleep, and this little ancient girl is still following her, what should she do? The observer looked back at Andu, Red Tongue stretched out its mouth for a small part, gently licked the gray mouth, it stopped, scratched its head with its right forefoot, looked at Andu again, turned its head, and wanted to continue towards Yoshimura's entrance, but after taking a step with its left forefoot, it retracted its left forefoot, turned its head, and looked at Andu for the third time, looking at her.
Andu watched the observer keep looking back at herself, thinking that there was someone or something behind her, so she turned her head to look behind her, but there was nothing, only a few wisps of white sand were blown on her face by the wind, she wiped her face casually, wiped the white sand from her face, and looked at the observer in front of her, it didn't go any further, it stayed where it was, hanging its head, as if thinking about something. Increasingly, Andu felt that the observer was amazing, she had never seen such a creature before, almost as intelligent as a human. The observer slowly walked towards her and gently pushed her belly, she crouched down and touched the moon-white fluff on its head, it raised its head, stuck out its red tongue, licked her cheek, she was itchy and happy, and continued to touch its head. The observer took two steps back, pointing behind Andu with his right forefoot, and then the observer walked behind Andu, returning the same way, sensing the anomaly of the village and the movement at the door, and now it is safest to return to the inner step of Sente with Andu by his side. Ann didn't think much of it, and continued to follow the observer, and she went wherever the observer went.
Not long after the Observer and Andu left, two ancient Terrans appeared on the sand where they had just been, and they were the two Nevzin members sent by Ruth to pursue Neibucent and the Observer. They went into each house one by one, trying to ask the people of the village if they had seen the Ancients with a moon-white creature, but they had not seen anyone from the village until now. The people of this village have all disappeared... They checked the condition of the utensils in each house, there were residues on the bowls and plates, and there were still water stains and droplets on the water bottles, and the ancient people of this village seemed to have only left for a long time, but they did all leave the village. They walked from the stone house to the sand in front of the stone house, the slightly thin Nevzin members bent down, picked up a wisp of moon-white fluff that fell in the white sand, and handed it to the slightly chubby Nevzin member beside them, looked at each other, and nodded, the goal they had been pursuing was not far in front of them, and it was very likely that they had not left the village yet, and the moon-white fluff made them have to speed up their pace.
The wind blew hard against the stone house in Yoshimura, whining and beating against the stone wall of Antoku's house, waking up Uchibu Sente from his dream. A tear slipped from the corner of her right eye and was vigorously wiped away by her. Her eyes were a little red and swollen, her face was pale, and her circles were covered with water. She slapped her cheeks vigorously with both hands, and the grief in her eyes gradually replaced by firmness, although there was still some grief left in her eyes, but it was much better than before.
Ubushen looked around the slightly dimly lit stone house, not seeing the Observer or Andu, and her mind that had just calmed down became agitated again, she stood up and ran out of Ande's house, calling out to the Observer and Andu.
"Small-family-guy-" Neibu Sente walked in the direction of the entrance of the village, checking whether there were any of them in the houses on both sides of the road, "An-all-"
At this moment, both the observer and Andu heard the shouts of the inner step of the state, and the two members of the Nevzin also heard the voice of the inner step of the heart...
The slightly thin Nevzin member stopped, listening carefully to the shouts coming from a distance... Before, the deputy leader of Ruth said that he wanted us to pursue the fleeing enemy, and also said that it should be an ancient human race and a creature, and the little guy is that creature, and Andu may be the ancient human race who escaped... The Ancients who screamed could also be the Ancients who fled...
The slightly chubby member Nevzin also stopped, waiting for the judgment drawn after the analysis of his companions. The slightly thinner Nevzin walked up to him and told him his judgment, he pursed his lips and thought for three breaths, telling his thoughts to the slightly thinner Nevzin.
"Let's catch up first, that creature must have seen us, one of the two ancient people has already seen us, and should know that his fellow Grom has been killed by us and will be hostile to us, the other ancient race... If you haven't seen us, you shouldn't be immediately hostile to us, and you can see which one is the target we should kill. ”
“... You're right, let's get up to speed!"
"Good!"
The observer's eyes were full of anxiety, and it knew that Nebu Sente did it because he cared about himself and Andu, but she let the two ancient people hear it, which might not be a good thing for them. Andu heard the shouts of Neibu Sente and slightly quickened his pace... Sister Nebu Sente is awake! She calls this amazing creature little one, and I will call it little one! Sister is coming to me and the little one, we should also speed up our pace, see my sister early, and don't let my sister worry... Andu couldn't see the anxiety in the eyes of the observer in front of her, and the corners of her mouth went up, trying to keep up with the observer's increasing pace.
The observer's ears continued to twitch, and the two ancient people were getting closer and closer to themselves and Andu, and they were getting faster and faster when they heard the shouts of Neibu Sente. The observer can only hope that he and Andu will meet Neibu Sente first, not that the two ancient people will meet him and Andu first.
There was no response to his own shouts, and Uchibu Sente continued to walk towards the entrance of Yoshimura, calling out to the Observer and Ando once again.
"Small-home-guy-small-family-guy-" Her eyes were full of worry, her heart had been suffering and tormented all day, and she was getting more and more afraid, "Ann-all-Ann-all-"
The two Nevzin members were already able to see Ando and the moon-white observer in front of her, and they continued to quicken their pace to catch up with them. Nebu Sente also saw the figure of the observer, as well as Andu behind the observer. Neither the two Nevzin members nor the Uchibu Sente saw each other.
The wind began to roar and blew at him, trying to scratch wound after wound on him, but his body was too strong for the wind mixed with white sand to hurt him in the slightest, which made the wind even more annoyed, and it slapped against the sand again and again, striking at his body, but he remained unmoved. The wind had to shift its target, and it swept across Yoshimura, preventing the two Nefujin members, the Observer, Ubusente, and Ando from opening their eyes completely, and the wind and sand stayed beside them, playing with it recklessly, recovering the majesty that had been lost in him.
The observer's ears twitched violently, and then its body began to shake violently, and the moon-white fluff stood erect, and it sensed the aura of something terrifying, and little by little it approached the village. As to how dangerous this "thing" is, the observer feels that the two ancient people are completely incomparable. The two walkers at the gate of Yoshimura also felt the breath of this "thing", their legs trembled, and they knelt on the sand, and when this thing got closer and closer, their trembling became more and more violent, and they finally collapsed on the sand, not daring to move, they were already unable to help themselves.
