(8)

I lay in bed like a corpse every day, refusing to drink water, refusing to eat, and the girl who rescued me earlier would ask me if my wound still hurt and persuade me to eat something, but after a few days of no response, she also gave up communicating with me and left me to fend for myself.

I was not seriously injured, and under her careful care, I was able to get out of bed and walk around in less than half a month. I dragged my still somewhat weak body to look around, and found that it was only a few dozen meters away from the place where I had accidentally eaten the dog fairy element, and a bold guess rushed into my mind for a moment, and I tried to speed up and return to the woman's residence, and spoke to her for the first time:

"You're friends with him?"

"Hmm. ”

Her voice was soft, but her tone was very firm, and it was no accident that she came to save me, and I desperately wanted to grab my last straw, but her next words undoubtedly sent me to hell.

"No need to ask, I'm also a demon. ”

Getting the answer I didn't want to hear, I sat down on the floor.

Sure enough, there is really no way for humans and demons to get along, but I, but I just want to be closer to the master, why did it become like this......

Seeing that I was in despair, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, walked over, looked at me condescendingly, and her tone was so silent that it contrasted sharply with her petite face, which made people a little frightened:

"Do you know how much my friend wants to live?"

My God, what a terrible thought, why would you want to live on such a painful day?

"What? You think she shouldn't be alive at all, do you?"

Seeing the incredulity on my face, she snorted coldly and continued:

"I don't know what heinous things she did to be burned alive by those people, I only know that she is simple, kind, and lives happily with these flowers and plants every day, never stepping out of this wood, and never coming into contact with any human beings. She lived like this, but those people broke into this place, and while I was away, they used such despicable means to destroy our home, destroy the flowers and plants she loved, destroy everything she guarded, and even watched her be burned to ashes by the fire. I want to ask you, she hasn't killed anyone, she hasn't set fires, she hasn't done anything hurtful, why can't she live? She always thanked God for giving her life and worked hard to make the place where she lived better, why can't she live? Is it because she is a monster that is different from humans? In this case, those gods in the sky are also different from people, why are they still alive?"

I was overwhelmed by her barrage of questions, and I panicked away from her gaze, trying to escape, only to find that even if I escaped her angry accusations, I couldn't escape the guilt and regret that kept rising in my happiness.

I suddenly understood that those unknown pains, those longings for life, were all feelings emanating from the essence that had not yet been fully refined by me.

I can feel these emotions clearly, but I should ...... What to do......

"I'm not telling you this today to win your sympathy, I'm not interested in your life, I'm just ...... I want her to continue to live......"

Her cold tone softened, and she even choked up, and she turned her back and stopped looking at me, but I could still feel her endless sadness. The feelings of the three of them haunted me at this moment, and unexpectedly made me think through those questions that I couldn't look at directly.

I looked at her back, told her solemnly and firmly, and also told myself:

"Don't cry, I promise you to live well in her place. ”
