45. Mark

Before the seeds germinated, Izumi was worried that they would not germinate, but when all the seeds had germinated, he began to worry that there were too many and there was no place to plant.

After dinner, Izumi took Shanaiduo to the bridge not far from his home and listened to the small talk of the nearby residents.

At the end of the other street across the two streets of Carter's house, there is a large river that crosses most of the lower town, and in order to facilitate everyone's travel, an arched bridge was built over the river many years ago, and large trees were planted on both sides, and there were always women who came to wash their clothes nearby, and many people would come here to enjoy the shade and chat in the evening.

There isn't much entertainment in the lower town, especially in the evenings, when there's not much to do after a busy day's work but a drink at the tavern, so many older people like to get together after dinner to chat, talk, and exchange new things they know about each other.

Some time ago, Izumi was also the protagonist of their gossip, but after so much time, Izumi rarely appeared in front of outsiders, and he basically wore a cloak every time he went out, so most people never saw him, and the gossip spread for a while, and then slowly faded.

The recent topic is whether the mountain behind them can be sold.

They like to talk loudly to attract people's attention, so Izumi just stood on the side and listened, and no one said anything, at most he felt that the child was a little raw.

Izumi listened to them talk about the parents for most of the day, and finally talked about the issues that interested him.

"I heard that the family seems to have started to reduce the price, but no one still wants to buy it."

"It's a price reduction, which can be reduced from 1,500 gold coins to 1,450 gold coins, isn't it fooling people? Who wants to buy him this completely useless waste mountain for such a price? ”

"That's it, it's still their family's heart is black, you say that if this was in the past, when there were still some good things on this mountain, it would be appropriate to sell a thousand gold coins, but you see that now there is not even a mushroom growing on that mountain, let alone a thousand gold coins, even if it is less than half, it is estimated that no one wants it, but they still want to sell it at a high price, and they have never seen such a dead person asking for money."

"I heard that the family will go to the capital next month, and I don't know if this mountain will be sold by then."

"Let them go, and if I say I can't sell, who knows what the next buyer wants to do here? Don't end up affecting everyone. ”

"That's right."

After a few words, everyone moved on to another piece of news.

"Have you heard, the Vahn family's house seems to have been sold."

"Really? Isn't his house empty for several years, looking dilapidated and no one wants to buy it? ”

"If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself, when I passed by this morning, I saw workers coming in and out of it as if they were going to be rebuilt."

Izumi didn't listen any further, and after hearing that the owner of the back mountain had begun to reduce the price, he got up and went home.

He walked slowly back along the street, while thinking about the news he had heard, and now that the people who sold the mountain had begun to reduce the price, it meant that they themselves were starting to be anxious, because they were leaving next month, and it was already the middle of the month, and if there were no buyers at this time, the price would only be reduced faster.

But Izumi only had more than 200 gold coins on hand now (the union had sent someone to pick them up and change the medicine for the somewhat silly Tuyuan Xiong), and it was still a little difficult to scrape together 1,000 gold coins.

Therefore, he still has to go to the beast trainer a few more times, even if the sixth-order demonic beasts don't need to serve, the fifth-order ones can be.

Izumi, who was planning to do this, was a little absent-minded, and as he walked, he was stopped by a figure, and if it wasn't for Shanaiduo's help, he almost bumped into it.

Izumi was startled, and when he looked up, he met a pair of black eyes.

It was the young man with the double black, and Izumi remembered him as -

"Mr. Electrolux?"

Electrolux nodded, and only he knew how nervous he was under his stiff expression.

"Can I talk to you?"

Izumi was a little strange about this question, although they had met twice, they were still strangers, what could this handsome young man say to him?

However, seeing the persistence in Electrolux's dark eyes, Izumi couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Good looks are fouls.

"Where does Electrolux want to talk?"

Izumi had thought that the youth would pick a secluded place, but he didn't.

"I'll send you back, we'll talk as we go." He gave way.

Hearing that this was the arrangement, Izumi was also relieved, and he took a step forward and continued to move forward.

Electrolux had actually been waiting for Izumi for many days, but since the last time he was startled by the stalking, Izumi hadn't gone out, and the only time the Beast Trainers Guild had sent someone to pick him up, and Electrolux hadn't had a chance to see him at all.

Actually, it's not impossible to go directly to his house to find someone, but Electrolux doesn't want anyone else to know about it, so he has been waiting for people nearby until he has a chance to talk to him today.

The two had walked for a while, and Electrolux remained silent, seeing that he was about to reach home, and Izumi had no intention of taking him home—and that there were griffons at home, but he could not see outsiders—and had to remind him, "Mr. Electrolux, what do you want to tell me." ”

Electrolux lowered his head, just in time to see the unnaturalness on Quan's face, he thought for a moment, remembering the situation in their yard that had been waiting nearby for the past two days but had not seen anyone and had anxiously sneaked up to the mountain to peep, and his heart was clear.

He stopped, "I have a few questions for you, and I hope you can answer them truthfully." ”

"What do you want to ask?" Izumi was nervous, and the oppression that the youth had given him was too great.

Electrolux actually had a lot of questions to ask, asking who his parents were, asking him what his real name was, asking him if he remembered anything from the past, but he wanted to ask so many questions that he couldn't say a word.

Finally, he heard his own voice say.

"Can I touch your hair?"

It was another strange request, Izumi should have refused bluntly, but when he saw the expression on the other party's face clearly, he was flustered and agreed.

I'm afraid this person didn't notice that he looked like he was going to cry, right?

At this time, the sun was setting, the light around slowly dimmed, and there were many fewer passers-by on the street, and the young man hidden in the cloak became blurred, which made people panic for no reason.

He raised his hand, his skin frighteningly white compared to the black around him, and the ring on his hand glistened in the afterglow.

The hand slowly covered Izumi's head, and Izumi thought he was patting his head like Uncle Carter and the others at most, but Electrolux's fingertips ran through his hair, gently combing his hair, one at a time, without stopping.

Such an intimate gesture completely exceeded Izumi's expectations, and both he and Shanado were startled, but Shanado didn't feel the danger, and it was Izumi himself who agreed, so it didn't do anything, just quietly watched the somewhat strange scene in front of him.

Izumi, who is one of the parties involved, is overwhelmed by the sudden intimacy and forgets that he can actually avoid this kind of contact.

It's a pity that he forgot about it, so he can only stand there stiffly, wondering why this person did this.

And Electrolux brushed the soft short brown hair over and over again, and under the hair that was brushed open, not only the scalp under the roots of the hair was exposed, but also a black mole the size of a grain of rice on the edge of the hair.

and a slightly raised, flesh-colored scar under a mole.

The scar was small, but short, the size of a fingernail, just under Izumi's hair, covered by hair, and if it weren't for Izumi with his head down at this moment, and Electrolux was a lot taller than him, he could only touch a little rather than see it.

Electrolux stared at them for a moment, it was just an insignificant scar, and the black mole could be found on anyone's body, but in Electrolux's eyes, the combination of these two insignificant had already answered all the questions for Izumi.

He will always remember that the scar was there because of his incompetence. He once hated its existence, but now he appreciates it.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if the rainy night had finally cleared up, revealing a bright starry sky with twinkling stars on the clouds.

Electrolux let go of his hair, and with trembling hands, he carefully cupped the face, as if holding a world, and carefully lifted it, and carved Izumi's face with a dazed and confused expression in his heart with his eyes.

"Puff"

Izumi didn't know what was going on, he only saw the young man in front of him suddenly kneel down and hugged him, fiercely, but did it make him feel a little uncomfortable.

The head that was pressed against his shoulder couldn't make out the expression, but Izumi felt something wet on his shoulder.

and the whispers that came to my ears that bordered on reverence.

"Found you......"

This is the treasure he once accidentally lost.

“…… It's mine...... Ismail ......"
