22 The Cursed One

Immortality is the dream of many people. But, for the Icarus family, this is an endless curse.

The people of the Icarus family can live for two thousand years or more since birth. Since the first head of the family, the family has lived deep in the Abismo region, guarding the passage between the mainland and the deep sea. This is not only their mission and motto, but also the fate that every clan member cannot escape.

Silver is also part of the family. Ever since he was born, the curse of 'immortality' has haunted his life all the time.

It was in the fiftieth year of Abism-

"Brother!" At this time, Ji Xi had just been born, and she was still a cute milk doll. She pestered this brother who didn't look much older than herself every day, and played with her brother every day.

In her little world, her brother is the best person for him, playing with her, reading with her, practicing martial arts with her, she likes her brother the most! Mom and Dad said that they can be together forever!

Silver looked at the milk doll in front of him, and was not interested: "Oh, what's wrong?"

The days at home are always spotless. Every day, in addition to reading, it is exercise, exercise, exercise, and I always see so many people, which is really boring!

The members of the family are not allowed to leave the family until they are 300 years old. Until then, they were not allowed to step outside the Abismus Zone, nor did they know what the world was like outside their homes.

Gin, who is fifty years old, is actually no different from the newborn Jixi, who is a cub who is 'protected' and 'guarded' by others.

"Brother, where are we going to play today?" Ji Xi waved his little hand and said excitedly, "Go to the library to read a book, go to the stall to fish, or go to Stone Coral to pick up stones?"

"Don't go, don't go...... I've been to these places thousands of times, and I'm not bored ......" Silver waved his hand and sighed boringly: "I'm tired of visiting the whole Abismo area......"

"Ahh

Ji Xi looked at his distressed brother and remembered that when he was playing peek-a-boo before, he accidentally broke into a room with a lot of stones: "Ji Xi knows there is a fun place!"

Silver looked down at his sister, he had taken his sister to play everywhere he could go at home, was there anything else he hadn't been to?

"Hehe~" Ji Xi smiled, took his brother's hand, and the two walked around the intricate corridor, gradually coming to a remote corner.

It's a large storage room filled with items that have been idle at home for thousands of years. It is said that it is idle, but in fact, it is all outdated ash decorations, and after a thousand years, they have become antiques.

"Hey, Kihee, go back, it's all dust. Silver covered his nose, but Ash choked on his nose.

Ji Xi walked to the depths of the room on her own. Inside the pile, there was a wall made of blue bricks, "Eh, that's weird, I saw a room with a lot of stones last time!"

"Where's the room, there's only one wall!" Silver stepped forward, looking at the empty wall, confused for a moment.

At this time, the shorter Kiki found a copper plate in the corner, which was inlaid on the wall, and some words were written on it.

"Brother, what's written on this? I can't read it......" Ji Xi looked at the strange words on the copper plate, with a confused face, and pouted, very cute.

It is the words of the ancestors. ”

Wipe the dust off the copper plate, squatted down, and looked at it carefully. He couldn't tell what was written on it, but he could read a few words.

'On a moonlit night, to the outside world, to the exit......

"Brother, what's written on it?" Ji Xi raised his head and asked, Yin was so fascinated that he even forgot that there was a little bean next to him: "Brother?"

After shaking his senses, he realized that his sister was calling him.

"Brother, what's written on it?"

Silver looked at his young sister and had an idea in his heart: "I don't know. My brother couldn't read it. ”

"Then call Daddy to come and see, Daddy knows the most!"

"No, no, Daddy is busy, let's not bother him!" Yin hurriedly picked up his sister and took the person away. You can't let your stinky dad know about this!

"Ji Xi, let's go play with the housekeeper today!" In order to divert Ji Xi's attention, Silver took his sister to play with the housekeeper.

At night, Silver came to the blue brick wall of the storeroom in the dark. He fumbled up and down the wall, and finally pressed the mechanism under the copper plate.

The floor beneath his feet was loose and slowly sinking, and in front of Silver's eyes was a staircase made of stone. When I walked in, I saw a strange long road full of black stones, large and small.

'Just like Kiki said!'

These black stones fill the corridors and are engraved with the motto of the Icarus family. Some of these family mottos were never told to him by the housekeeper or his father.

"Don't take the family's treasures out of the world, don't tell others about the entrance, keep all the secrets of the family, and ......" Silver looked carefully, and gradually followed the words carved in the stone to the exit: "When the tide is low, you must return to the ......"

After reading the last family motto, Silver walked out of the road. Outside the corridor is a deep dense forest, and there are bursts of chirping insects.

Silver took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Unlike the air at the bottom of the sea, the air here is not the slightest salty, but only the condensation and the fragrance of the leaves.

"The Outside World......" Silver felt the beauty of the moonlit night and walked in the jungle.

No matter how the book is described, how exquisite those pictures are, it is not as good as what I see and feel with my own eyes at the moment.

After wandering through the jungle for a whole night, at the edge, Silver found a small cabin. There lived a woman and her two six-year-old children.

This was the first person Silver had seen other than his family and housekeepers.

By this time, the sun had risen, the moonlit night had turned into a clear morning, and the insects had turned into birds. Silver followed the steps of the three of them and came to the town in the distance.

There are a lot of people in the town, there are a lot of houses, and there are all kinds of shops on the streets, which is very lively.

Silver Tail followed the three to a bakery. Looking at the custard tarts that the boss had just brought out of the kitchen, I couldn't help but drool: 'What is this golden thing!'

"Boy, if you want to eat, ask your mother to buy it with money, otherwise you will go away and get in the way of my business. The big fat cook, seeing that Silver was alone, felt that he was just a glutton, and that he was not here to buy bread, so he said something to drive people away.

"Boss, please give me another tart. It was the mother of the two siblings who followed Silver. She was ordinary-looking and looked a little thin. However, the gentle temperament on his body will remind him of his mother who is sick at home.

The woman handed the tart she had just bought to Silver: "Little friend, this is for you." ”

"Thank you. Taking the tart, Silver couldn't wait to bite it. The puff pastry of the egg tart and the sweet aroma of the eggs filled his mouth, and the new impact brought by the food made Yinxin feel a sense of happiness.

Seeing the young man's satisfied look, the woman smiled, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and wiped the corners of Yin's mouth: "Little friend, why did you come out alone, what about the family?"

Silver looked at the woman's face and did not answer.

Don't tell people outside about anything about the family, this is one of the family mottos.

Seeing that the young man did not answer, and the woman was not in a hurry, she gently took Yin's hand and slowly led him out of the bakery: "Do you want to come to my house as a guest?"

And just like that, Silver and the three of them returned to the cabin.

On the side, in the ruins of Abism, the butler Feige was anxiously looking for the little master.

"Young Master Yin, where are you?"

Ji Xi came out of the room and stopped Feiqi, she smiled comfortably, like a little angel: "Feiqi, my brother and I are playing hide and seek!"

"I see!" Feige clapped his hands. Young Master Silver often plays hide-and-seek with Miss Ji Xi, and as long as he hides, sometimes he can't find it for a week. The people of the Icarus family are trained not to go hungry even if they don't eat for a week. "Then Miss, let's go back to Young Master Yin after eating!"

"Hmm!" Kiki smiled and followed Feige to the hall.

There was a note on the table in her room: 'Jihee, brother is hiding, you know, it's still an old game. 'The signature is in silver.

'Brother, I'm going to find you this time!' thought to him. Only this time, Silver didn't follow the rules, and he hid outside the cave, and Ji-hee never found him.

"Hey, what's your name?" asked six-year-old Robin.

The blue-haired child in front of him was about his age.

Silver licked the finger that took the tart, and he couldn't get enough of it: "Silver." What's your name?"

"My name is Robin and this is my sister Anil. ”

"Hello!" Anil smiled, she was only four years old, and she couldn't make her words clear, hiding behind her brother and blushing. They live far away and rarely have partners of the same age, but this time there is a little brother in the family, who is so good-looking, and Anil is also happy.

In this way, the three little beans formed a seed called 'friendship'.
