Chapter 788: Oblivion
As Orion grew older, he finally learned how to deliberately forget that look. In normal times, he is successful, every day he is in a hurry and diligently, chopping wood, hunting and fishing, in short, his life is very busy and orderly.
In this way, the days passed, as if that cold eyes would no longer entangle him. It was as if the memory had been thrown by him, thousands of mountains and rivers away. But this kind of thing is not something that Orion can really forget if he wants to.
With the recent years, every once in a while, some people will come to the door, and the information revealed in those people's words seems to have taken a fancy to this hunter and want to be a parent. But every time at this time, that cold look is like a magic spell, and it will jump out majestically from the corner that has been deliberately forgotten to disturb the mind.
It is because of this situation that this tall Orion, even though he has passed the marriageable age, is still alone. He did not agree to any family's proposal, not because he felt that the other party's family was not good, or that there was something wrong with the girl, but most importantly, he was afraid of seeing that kind of look in the eyes of others again.
Yes, Orion was afraid of that kind of look from the bottom of his heart. So even in the village, it is rare to meet a few young girls, and this Orion does not dare to look up. It seems that inadvertently, the girl who smiles brightly like a flower will put away all her beauty at once, revealing such a cold look.
This is also why, when I saw the girl who sold her body to bury her father in front of Orion today, I was instantly moved by that girl. The girl not only looks and shapes, but also her behavior and posture, conveying a feeling of weakness and overwhelm.
It was such an impression that Orion was immediately moved, his long-frozen heart. He felt that he should stand up and protect this girl. Don't let that girl suffer any destruction, in this cruel world, her beauty should have been kept.
In his heart, Orion secretly felt that a weak girl like this could not bring any harm to herself. Yes, that is, it should be impossible for that girl to look at herself with that kind of eyes.
It is this kind of thinking that makes Orion unrealistic, desperately eliminating all difficulties, opening his chest, ready to bear all the wind and rain, and protect this delicate flower.
But the truth was a slap in the face. Even in recent years, that cold look has appeared in his heart from time to time, Orion is still able to clearly distinguish what is reality and what is hallucination.
Before, Orion had been afraid to see that gaze again, but before that it was actually his own hallucination. But now, in front of me, what I thought was impossible at all, has appeared. The weak girl gave herself a glimpse with that gaze.
Of course, the tall Orion also made a final struggle, and he had been persuading himself in his heart that what he had just seen, as had often appeared before, was all his own hallucination. It's just because of my own worries, the illusion that arises. Actually, it's not like this, he just misread and misunderstood, just like he had rejected so many girls from good families before.
Although in the bottom of Orion's heart, there has always been a weak voice that said: I am not mistaken, that girl did see it that way. But gradually, the Orion still suppressed the weak voice. Although I was apprehensive, I still expected that I was just dazzled, that the girl was still as beautiful as she thought she was, and she needed his protection.
But what happened next couldn't let him deceive himself in self-justification. The girl wept bitterly, and every word she uttered was like a sledgehammer, striking the hunter's chest one after another. Every time, the hunter felt that he could not bear it, and the whole person was about to be crushed into the ground. But, in fact, he had to stand there and listen to every word the girl had to say.
The girl said that her father's greatest wish was to be able to train a reader. And since her father only has one daughter, he asked her to swear a poisonous oath that she must find a scholar to marry in the future.
In fact, the girl's exact words, the Orion no longer remembers. But the meaning of the girl's expression was firmly engraved in the heart of the hunter. He knew that this girl's words were just pretexts, just rejecting herself in disguise.
Then the look I saw just now was also real, just now, the voice that could only speak weakly in my heart has become like an explosion in my ears at this time: she just looks down on you, she just dislikes you, and people don't fancy you.
At that moment, Orion felt that the world had faded, the people around him and the surrounding streetscape were constantly spinning, and the Orion was almost unsteady on his feet, as if he was standing on a spinning ball, rolling all the time, not a moment of stability.
There was a chatter, a chaotic noise, but strangely, the girl's every word was clear, and it got into Orion's ears.
Finally, when the girl stopped talking, there was silence all around. And this Orion only felt that the world in front of him, as if it had lost all color. He felt like he was standing here, like a clown, he didn't know who he was, why he was standing here, what he was going to do.
Just when Orion was confused and at a loss, the chatter of the people around him gradually penetrated into his ears again. This time it was different from the previous discussions, and everyone said that the man in white should take in the poor girl, and if the boy in white did not take in the poor girl, everyone would not agree.
Hearing what the people around him said suddenly became like this, in fact, this tall Orion wanted to laugh in his heart, and he wanted to ask the people around him in a loud voice, do you have your own judgment, do you have a heart? As soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip, you will talk about this, and you will talk about that, have you ever considered what kind of thoughts are in the hearts of those of us who are being told by you.
Besides, this matter has nothing to do with these people who watch the excitement. Whether you have spent money or effort, you can easily talk about it from the side, from a high perspective.
