Chapter 428: Seeing and Forgetting Each Other
On the way back to the town of Peace, Ryder told Pique everything that had happened in the past few days. From their encounter with horse thieves, to Frank's teaching him axes, to his search for the Great Blackfoot from the Sacred Lake.
Peake nodded from time to time to indicate that he had not revealed his words, and often asked very cooperatively: "What happened before?"
"Before?" Ryder thought for a moment and said, "You encountered horse thieves before, and according to Brother Frank, you beat all the horse thieves away and rescued Hasgar. But you're also separated. ”
"Hasgar?"
"You won't forget about her. ”
"It's a familiar feeling," Peake only remembered the feeling in his heart, but his mind was blank, "I could feel that I was happy, even a little excited, when you said the name. ”
"She is your beloved woman. Ryder said with a sigh. He had a strong regret in his heart, and he didn't know how the noble girl would feel when she saw Pique at this time. In order to help Pique regain his memories as soon as possible, he patiently explained to him, "You met at the entrance of the town of Peace, and you broke up Baron Hajvi Yacker's convoy and flew directly into her carriage...... It was her first time in the town of Peace...... "Every time he saw Hasgar, Peake would happily share everything with Ryder." And at this point, Ryder must give him back all his memories.
The sky was getting darker, and they were still walking towards the peaceful town. Before leaving the town of Toumai, they not only replenished their rations and water, but also led Pique directly into a tavern.
Three catties of beef were eaten in his stomach like that, and Pique's amount of food stunned everyone. Hot pie made of fruits, a variety of green vegetables, and refreshing low-alcohol rice wine. The mercenaries saw Pique's feast, and they also became very appetizing.
In that way, more than a dozen people almost ate up all the taverns in Tumai Town. They packed and took one back to the Chiya family's house, and after checking that the people inside had been almost arched into a messy little nightingale by the mad boar, they opened the door of the pigsty and released the group covered in pig.
They still remember that the two Chiya people crawled out, and seeing the frightened appearance of the two Chiya, they must not dare to eat pork for the rest of their lives.
At this moment, the mercenaries returned to the place north of the sacred lake. Here, the mercenary leader Grass Carp harvested the friendship of Vino Yakel, who they guessed was a royal grandson.
I saw that the careful grass carp leader slowly rode his horse to Pique's face, and a magic crystal ring was taken off from his hand. "Mr. Bluehat, you used to be a powerful magician," he said, handing the magic crystal ring in his hand to Peake, "I think you must need one of these rings at this time." After saying that, he left without looking back.
The temperature of the grass carp leader's hand that still remains on the ring. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Peake glanced at the mercenary leader who was slowly moving away with some confusion, and then at the ring in his hand. A black stone set in a gold ring, nothing special.
At this time, Ryder said next to Peake: "Zhu Tian once said that this is a 'telephone', do you still have an impression? Although I don't know what a 'telephone' is, what I do know is that you can use your spiritual power to enter this stone, and then I can talk to you with this black stone." ”
"I don't understand. Peake shook his head and said, "I don't understand mental power, magic crystals, phone calls, or any of these." ”
Everything is strange. Strange people, strange environments, strange rings.
The good thing is that the people around you are very good to you at the moment. It's not like the two red-haired people I just met, not only do I have to work day and night, but I will also be beaten if I don't do it well.
He was now trying to control the horse under his crotch. Yes, he had forgotten how to ride a horse, and perhaps he had never ridden a horse before.
Big Black Heel was behind Pique, and one front leg was a little lame, but it didn't affect the speed. From time to time, Big Blackfoot turned his gaze to the horse under Peake's crotch, causing him to dodge unconsciously.
Later, he passed by a wooded field, and the sound of horses' hooves trampled on his legs, and Pique's legs were a little uncomfortable, and he often inserted his hands into the junction between his thighs and the horse's back to reduce the friction. At this time, he was wearing a mercenary's pants, which were hemp and somewhat abrasive. If he remembered correctly, the mercenary was called a nuisance.
Yes, it's just a nasty ghost, this person is really annoying. When Pique saw him and followed him unhurriedly, those orange eyes kept looking at him, and Pique keenly caught them.
"Is there something wrong with you?" Finally, he couldn't help himself, looking at the nasty ghost and said, "I don't like people looking at me all the time." "He's very straightforward and completely inconsiderate of the other person's feelings.
"Okay, Mr. Blue Hat, I promise I won't be looking at you all the time. Then he looked at Pique every two seconds......
Pique was a little helpless, for him, the most favorable mercenary was Frank. He didn't know why, probably because it was the first person he had seen since he woke up from the pit and was genuinely good to him. From time to time, food would be handed to him, all bought by Frank from the small town of Toumai. Then, he now has a crush on grass carp because the other party gave him a ring.
Although Pique lost his memory, he was not stupid, and he knew from the shocked and confused looks of the mercenaries around him that this ring must be precious.
According to what Grass Carp and Ryder said, this ring might be very good for him to recover his memory, so he didn't refuse. Of course, he knew how to refuse, and at this time, Pique had not yet realized the preciousness of this ring.
"Captain Grass Carp, that ring has a special meaning!" the nasty ghost leaned over to the grass carp and said, "In the future, you will use this ring to build a relationship with the palace! Why don't we get the ring back and spend a lot of money to buy another magic crystal for Mr. Blue Hat." ”
"Can you hate it a little more?" the good-natured mercenary leader finally couldn't bear the noise in his ears, but still explained to him, "If you want to find the relationship of the palace, you don't necessarily need a token. If that adult wants to help us, he only needs to mention the Timberwolf mercenary group, and the other party will naturally see us, if the other party is not sincere, a hundred tokens are useless. At this time, Mr. Bluehat may need magic crystals even more, after all, it is something that all magicians revere and love. ”
"But he's lost his memory! he's probably forgotten the magic spells. ”
"Be fucking quiet, let Boss Frank hear it, and just peel you off, you oblivion!"
......
......
Finally, they returned to the town of Peace when it was dark.
After a week of camping, the mercenaries looked so tired that they dropped Ryder and Peake to the door of the lumber yard and left on their own.
Under the stars, Ryder smiled and said to Peake: "When my grandfather sees you, he may faint with joy, but I will never forget his anxious look when he learned that you were missing." He can't wait to ride out and find the horse thief!"
"Grandfather......" Peake muttered these two words, his feelings very complicated, he looked at the wooden door in front of him and said, "I forgot everything about here. He seemed hesitant at this time, for fear that his presence would cause trouble for the people inside the door. The night breeze kept blowing, and the anxiety in his heart was intensifying.
"It's okay, I remember, I remember it all. And, now that we have time, I'll tell you everything. ”
The night breeze blows through the tattered blue hats, carrying a sense of dryness, as if there is still a lingering charm of summer. He looked at the wooden door in front of him and felt his heart beating, and the wooden door finally opened, revealing the scene inside. After a long time in the dark, Pique felt that everything was both strange and familiar. What is familiar is the feeling in his heart, and what is strange is that he has forgotten the scene in front of him. I came back, and he had this feeling in his heart, and he bathed in the starlight and walked into the lumber yard.
"Who is it?" Mandala poked his head out of the main building, his thin brows slightly furrowed with confusion and vigilance. When she saw Ryder's figure, she retracted her head in her pajamas. Immediately, she poked her head out again, because from behind Ryder, she also saw a familiar figure.
Peake didn't know her, and he followed Ryder to a low stone house, where he had to keep his head down to get in. The scene inside the door still felt familiar to him, but all the images in his mind had disappeared with the rainbow light that night.
"Grandfather. Ryder called softly to the old man on the bed. The old man was holding a white paper in his hand, muttering something in his mouth. Peake also saw the same white paper on the bedside table, on the table, and by the window.
After Ryder and Peake walked in, the old man raised his gray eyebrows, and his eyes, which had lost their moist luster, looked at the two people in front of him, and his eyes revealed a confused look. "Who are you, what are you doing at my house?" said the old man.
Suddenly, Ryder was struck by lightning! His blood stagnated, and the joy of bringing Peake home was completely gone, and he rushed straight to the old man's side. "Grandfather," Ryder said in a trembling voice, "don't you know me?"
The light in the old man's eyes was a little dim, and more confused. "I don't know you," the old man's voice sounded, "child, it's so late, you should go home quickly, otherwise the old man in the family will be worried." After speaking, he flipped through the white paper in his hand and muttered the words on the white paper again.
"Grandfather, grandfather, grandfather!" Ryder cried out three times, knowing that the old eyes were looking at him again, "how can you not know me? I am Ryder, your own grandson!" Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
"My own grandson?" the old man repeated in confusion, and then said, "My own grandson is only ten years old, how can you be my own grandson? Don't cry, child, this is not your home, go back quickly. ”
Ryder didn't give up, and vigorously dragged Peake to the old man's side. "Grandfather, what about him, do you still know him?" said Ryder, hurriedly.
The old man looked Pique up and down, and the expression on his face was complicated. It took more than ten seconds before he said in a dumb voice:
"I don't know, besides, it's time for your hat to be changed, why is it still on your head when it's so broken? My little Pic has a blue hat like this, and it's much better than yours. I don't know you, so please leave my house now. ”
Peake looked at the old man in front of him, and said three words in his heart - I don't know.
