Chapter 14: Freedom That Belongs Only to Me
The sound of "chirp chirp" kept coming, annoying Arthur, who wanted to continue sleeping. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He tried to open his eyes, and from the gradually clear picture, he saw a few sparrows on the branches outside the window, their fluffy bodies jumping to and fro, their short wings fluttering, as if there was some happy event.
What's the joy? Arthur looked at a sparrow's small oily eyes like black beans, and one person and one bird looked at each other silently, and it didn't take long for the sparrows to suddenly "hula" and fly away.
The source of the noise was gone, but so was the drowsiness, and Arthur withdrew his gaze from the window and looked to his side.
The image of Werther and Nayin sleeping on their stomachs by the bed came into view, and the morning sun shone on their faces, giving their hair a bright color and sparkling. Arthur looked at their sleeping faces, all the discomfort dissipated in an instant, and the corners of his mouth naturally curved.
"Huh? Arthur, are you awake? ”
When Werther looked up in a daze, Arthur was leaning against the windowsill, looking at him and smirking. Witt woke up instantly, pulled the person away from the windowsill, quickly pulled up the quilt, covered Arthur's chest, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Still want to be sick, don't you?" ”
Next to her, Naine also woke up slowly, rubbing her eyes and seeing clearly, she immediately stood up, touched Arthur's forehead, exhaled after confirming that the fever was gone, and slowly softened again, leaning against the bed and yawning.
"You've taken care of me, like I'm sick? Ah, it's probably a cold, hahahaha I haven't had a cold in a long time, this feels really strange. ”
Werther was so angry that he wanted to tear that smirk, but he didn't do it as always.
Nayin said solemnly: "Arthur, you had a high fever before, it was very dangerous!" If it causes complications, it is not a day or two of sleep, and some decoction can be fine! In the future, you must no longer hide your physical condition, and you must not hold on! Otherwise, it will be a trouble for Werther! ”
Seeing Nayin say with a serious face, Arthur listened honestly, Witt couldn't help but sigh, although she is a little sister, she is a doctor after all, and she has the majesty of a doctor, so she will definitely be able to protect Arthur.
"What Nain said is that I won't in the future." Tilting his head and smiling, Arthur raised his hand to stroke the top of Nayin's head, "Thank you for the medicine, it works." ”
"Ah...... Also, there is nothing to ...... It's just an ordinary medicine for colds...... "Feeling Arthur's palm and feeling his caressing, Naine lowered her head embarrassedly, her serious expression quickly disappeared, and a trace of shyness quietly emerged.
"Now that I'm well, it's almost time for me to go." Withdrawing his hand, Arthur put away his smile as well, he tried to look into Nain's eyes, and said in a slightly lowered voice, "Although the Spirit Shadow can't leave its master, it may seem a bit contrived for me to ask, but I still want to hear your answer with my own ears." I embarked on a journey in search of a black-haired spirit shadow, and the temporary destination is the Holy Capital, but to be on the safe side, I may travel all over the territory of Rufia, and it is needless to say that the hardships are not to mention, and the danger is anytime and anywhere, follow us, you will also be in danger, maybe you will experience another death, and it will disappear completely. If you don't want to, I can find a way to get you out of me during the journey, maybe ......"
Before Arthur could finish speaking, Naine shook her head vigorously, and she let Arthur look into her eyes, seeing the sincerity and persistence in those chestnut eyes.
"My master is Arthur, only Arthur, Arthur's side, is the place of my existence, the meaning of my existence." As he spoke, Naine smiled faintly, "Actually, Arthur's purpose is exactly what I want, I never left the village of Toba before I was alive, I always wanted to see the outside world, and I wanted to know what Jibel did...... What is the kind of country that has to pay for its life to protect. I've been tied down for too long, it's time to free myself. ”
Arthur squeezed his eyes and smiled evilly: "With me, isn't it a new bondage?" ”
"Not really!" When Naine shook her head, the small braids on her cheeks also swayed slightly, "With Arthur, it's my freedom." ”
"yes, okay, I see. Then you remember, don't be cautious for fear of reducing my lifespan. Since it is on the road to death at any time, it is worthwhile and necessary to exchange life for help to achieve the goal. Having already chosen a dangerous path, it is pointless to calculate the already limited lifespan. If I can't do that, I'll be angry. In addition, I don't need to hide in my body, I don't want to use you as a tool, but as a trusted partner and friend. So, is that okay? ”
With that, Arthur stretched out his hand.
Smiling, Naine reached out and shook it. As they shook hands, she thought that she must try to prolong Arthur's life while satisfying him.
Because Nain had already prepared the medicine to bring, the three of them set off directly according to Arthur's wishes. Just as they were packing their luggage, there was a knock on the door, and when Werther opened the door, he saw the old man and grandmother who had stayed overnight standing at the door, and both of them looked hesitant and embarrassed.
"Please forgive Mayor Mare and everyone!" The old couple said in unison, and the three people in the room were stunned.
Arthur put down what he was holding, walked to the door, and invited the two old men into the house, but they had no intention of coming in.
"Mayor Mare's just too much hope that Doba can return to his former prosperity, he's not a bad guy." The old man said to Arthur with some eagerness, and the old grandmother next to him also said "uh-huh" for sure.
"Ah, actually......" Seeing the guilty looks of the two old men, Arthur was a little embarrassed, "I don't blame anything, people are different, and besides, I also bet that Nayin will save me, so I can force her to show up." Thanks to Mayor Mare, I've got a good Shadow. ”
"Nayin...... Sure enough, it was Naine who saved you at that time. Looking at Naine at the same time, the two old men bowed deeply, "Please forgive everyone, they, they just want to live a good life......"
Nayin walked forward quickly, helped the two old men, she shook her head gently, the little braids swayed leisurely again, and the refreshing and sweet voice came out, like a warm spring breeze, so that the old couple's hearts were relieved: "Everyone is not wrong, it's me who is not good, stop everyone from planting herbs." If you really want to apologize, then please tell everyone that every few years you should let the land rest, during which you can plant relatively ordinary herbs and crops. ”
"Sure enough, there is a reason...... "The old grandmother wiped her tears, and the old man couldn't help sighing, "Everyone saw Nai Yin that day, and then thought about the past, after calming down, they all understood something, and the mayor of the town also ...... They don't have the face to come to you, we are here on your behalf. I'm sorry...... You and the cedar trees of Gibel ......"
