Chapter 3: The Sudden Death of the Old Man

I took a big breath and continued with what I was doing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When Lethe's face, little by little, was completely exposed to the air at the end, I was speechless with shock. This face is so beautiful!

The contour is like a knife, the eyebrows are thick like a sword, the nose is handsome, and the thin lips are slightly upturned. However, the scar on the right side of his face, which had been deeply visible to the bone, seemed to be a masterpiece left by God's jealousy of his face.

His eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he looked at the face in the bronze mirror!

"It's okay, I'll help you!" Suddenly, I didn't know what I said or why! It's just that my heart tells me to myself that I saved his life, his life, everything about him is mine. I don't like the feeling of regret~

What's more, judging by the depth and direction of the wound, this scar has a story!

Forgive me for my interest in speculation, but I have been following the old man for a long time to analyze corpses, and I have the natural ability to actively analyze and speculate. As for the story, I don't know! But it must have been the hand of his dearest person, because only close and defenseless can cause such a cruel injury.

"I'm fine!" Lethe finished speaking. Turned around and hugged me tightly, trembling like a lost child.

I patted him on the back and looked at myself in the bronze mirror. The ink hair is waist-high, the face is shallow, and it is very neat and beautiful. But even if you look good, what can you do? I don't feel it! I'm a person who doesn't have a sense of taste or pain!

Ordinary days, as usual, slowly pass by minute by second. Lethe accompanied me, and the old man accompanied the corpse. Everything seems to have gone back to the way it was. However, it seems that things are slowly changing.

I don't seem to be so bored anymore, and every time I come back to my senses, there is a smile on my lips. I played tricks on Lethe, taught Lethe a lesson, and even beat Lethe. However, he always didn't care. He learned to cook, and he could cook well, so that the old man sometimes followed us like a fart. However, the corpse and the delicacies let the old man choose, and the old man will still choose the corpse!

Lechuan is very skilled, especially hunting, and his archery skills are excellent. When you go to the river to catch fish, you can catch them one by one. With Lethe, I've become even more lazy!

Just after lunch, I lay on the wooden slump in the doorway and squinted. The old man suddenly came out of the room, took a large package in his hand, and threw it at me without saying a word.

I blinked and looked at the old man. Very innocent, a little helpless: "What's the matter?" Geezer! ā€

"You and Lethe River out of the valley! I don't like you guys anymore! I want to stay alone and die slowly. The old man crossed his waist with one hand and scratched his gray hair, which had not been washed for an unknown amount of time. His legs shook and he even scratched his ass.

"Okay. Where is the exit? I stared at him for a while, thinking for a moment. Is the old man serious? Looks like he's serious! But how can it be so easy to get out? In every corner of this valley, every grass and tree, I know that there are no structures in and out, except for the river where other creatures will come in.

There is no way that the old man does not know?! I just want to continue to be angry with him, so say so! Unbeknownst to me, the old man shook suddenly, and his cloudy eyes hid a look that I didn't understand. I thought I had really hurt the old man, and I wondered if I was going to say something nice to coax him!

"Tonight is the day of the cold star's shift, and you can go out from the north of the river into the mouth of the whirlpool. The package is the poison I prepared for you, or as usual, one pill a month. Don't overwork your spirits, otherwise it won't be enough for your whole life, and you will die! The old man said very seriously, never sincere! I've never seen an old man like this!

His words are like explaining the future!

I got up from the wooden collapse and sat up, looked at the package in my hand, looked at the old man in front of me, and suddenly felt like a world away, and when I walked life after life, everything was just an illusion. Such an old man makes me feel unreal! But how could I ever have a moment of true feeling? I don't feel pain, I don't feel it!

The old man had no name, and he said his name was Crazy Old Man. He never said where he came from, he just said that he was here a long time ago. I recognized him as a father, and he said he didn't want it, and he hadn't married a wife yet. I said I called him grandpa, and he said he was just looking a little quicker. In the end, I said that there must be a relationship so that we can live together without embarrassment, right? Either I should be a master, anyway, he taught me how to live. He doesn't speak, but he doesn't deny it either!

The relationship is master and apprentice, but he prefers me to call him old man. He said it was more intimate, and that he had a happier dissecting the body.

"Okay." I nodded, picked up the package and went inside.

At this time, Lethe came with a bowl of soup.

"Drink, it's cold, warm your body." Lethe said.

I took the soup and drank it. Anything is the same without a sense of taste. The old man said that Lethe's craftsmanship is good, that is really good! Lechuan likes to cook, and perhaps seeing that I never refuse what he makes, he prefers to make it for me.

Lethe was very satisfied, took the empty bowl that I drank without any residue, and did not forget to wipe the corners of my mouth.

For his care and love, I told myself that it was because I was too lazy to let myself get used to it. In fact, I was really lazy. I like to lie down and watch the stars, the sky, the birds, and all the uncut scenery. I have already walked the road that should be taken, it is just such a small valley, how can I bear the road of sixteen years? No matter how far you go, it's time to finish!

"What did the old man say?" Lethe asked.

I stared into his eyes, and suddenly with interest, I tried to ask Lethe, "If you were to be let out of the valley, would you be willing?" ā€

Lethe's eyes were shocked, and I saw a flash of light in his eyes.

I smiled shallowly and pursed my lips. I don't know what happened because I never did. But Lethe is different, he has his past. Although, he forgot. But that's what he wants to know, right? Even though he never talked about the past these days, he never asked about the past, but in the middle of the night, the figure facing his back always sighed softly in silence.

He's looking for it!

Night~

"Boom" thunderstorm came suddenly. The wind and thunder rolled, and they smashed on the bamboo house. It makes my ears hurt!

This earth-shattering sound made me a little uneasy. I walked around the house. Occasionally, I would look at the package that the old man had stuffed into me. Suddenly, I would take another look at Lethe sitting in the house drinking tea.

I always feel that today is abnormal. The old man behaved strangely, and even on this day, he said that if he changed his face, he would change his face.

"Knock knock." Outside the door, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps. But there was a snapping sound, and a heavy object seemed to fall. I walked towards the door, and Lethe followed.

At the door of the "old man", the old man was lying on the side of the door in blood. My heart fell, and I knelt down to help the old man up.
