Chapter 21 Night has fallen, and the wind has blown
Sakura sat in the corner of the garden, a small tree planted here, and judging from the thin branches, this cherry tree has only been planted for a long time, but perhaps for some special reason, the cherry blossoms on its branches are very dense. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time of year, the cherry blossoms bloom relatively early, but because of this, the pink petals are more delicate and beautiful, and the cold wind is a common guest at this time of year, but here, it brings more beauty.
The short black shoulder-length hair swayed slightly in the wind, and the red headband tied on the side concealed the coldness and indifference of the girl's body, and replaced it with a kind of tranquility like water and the cuteness of the little sister of the leader.
The pink cherry blossom petals driven by the flowing wind flowers slowly floated down, falling on the girl's black hair, or on the black and white dress embellished on her body, she didn't care about these, just quietly, turning the pages of the book in her hand with some thick books, learning, comprehending and thinking.
Suddenly, Sakura couldn't help but smile a little self-deprecatingly, she remembered all the times she remembered when she calmed down and read like now, and found that now was obviously the most dangerous time, but it was the one in her better mood.
It's not because she's relaxed or whatever, but simply because of some feeling in her heart, everything that was unimaginable to her before, and maybe it's this freshness that makes her rush to the so-called "fun", at least that's what she thinks.
He gently patted off the petals that had fallen on the page, and then closed the book in his hand, and at noon, he ate the lunch that Ken had prepared with the other children, because the portion was very large, and his appetite was good, so even though it was almost evening, he did not feel hungry.
"Mr. Ken! What's wrong with you?! ”
Just when Sakura was about to close her eyes and clear her mind well, a voice sounded, it was in the direction of the front yard, and the owner of this voice, Sakura, still had some impressions in her mind, it was a girl who was three or four years older than her now, and the voice was very good......
Walking slowly to the front yard, Sakura smelled some blood before she could see the situation there, but her expression continued to walk over without any change, and she saw the situation there clearly, frowned slightly, and then narrowed her eyes.
At this time, Ken was standing in the small courtyard a little embarrassed, and there were many black marks left on his clothes that had been burned by the flames, but there were not many real burns, but the more serious ones were the blood marks on his legs, hands, and waist that were cut by sharp weapons.
What is especially infiltrating is that there is a penetrating wound on Ken's right arm, and it is this wound that lets everyone know what the murder weapon that caused the wound on his body looks like, it is a black key that does not seem to have any unnecessary modifications, and Sakura also has some thoughts when she sees this weapon.
Seeing Ken's panting appearance, he must have just gone through an easy battle, he sat on the chair he usually made and gasped, and then, Aki, who had held himself tightly in his arms, was revealed.
Unlike her father's embarrassment, although Aiqi's face was also stained with some dust, there was no scar, and the current condition, although her face was still a little red, seemed to be much better, to be precise, it should be about to get better.
"Uncle Ken, did you run into them?"
Sakura said calmly to Ken, and after hearing Sakura's words, Ken also slowly raised his head, and then showed a serious expression and nodded, and Sakura, after receiving Ken's reply, just nodded slightly, looked into Ken's eyes, and continued, raising the doubts that she was more concerned about.
"So, since only you and Aiqi are back now, uncle, that is to say, the third wife who went out with you should be no longer there now, right?" Sakura said in a non-wavering tone to Ken, who had regained some strength in front of her, and her voice made the other children realize that there was one less person who had returned.
“……”
Ken didn't answer immediately, but showed a somewhat lonely look, lowered his head, his expression became a little self-reproachful, and he sighed deeply, and his performance made the rest of the children, who were still a little suspicious and hopeful, become a little frightened for a while.
As the first child to be adopted by Ken, the boy named Santai is equivalent to the eldest brother in this big family to everyone, and he is also the most trusted elder of everyone except Ken, which is of course difficult to accept.
"Ken, Mr. Ken, you're kidding, aren't you?"
"Mr. Ken must be joking! is so powerful, Mr. Ken will definitely be able to protect the third brother! So it's actually just a joke, isn't it?! ”
"How could the third brother, who is so good, be like this...... Woohoo......"
……
The children here all felt a little unacceptable because of the sudden message, although everything had been indicated, they all looked a little unacceptable, and Ken could only sigh after seeing this situation, and slowly stood up, and his statement also made these children temporarily quiet.
"Kids, although it's cruel, Sakura's words are true......"
When Ken said this sentence slowly to everyone, the children who were still holding something too unrealistic were a little stunned for a while, and for a while the whole yard seemed a little quiet, only the sound of the wind remained, and only the sound of the wind that had become louder at some point.
"Three, the third brother...... Are you really dead......" When a girl who looked like she was only five or six years old muttered this sentence with a crying voice, it was like an introduction, and all the children sat down on the ground and began to cry.
In fact, many times, the people who will be most sad because of the death of the people around them are those who have experienced this, just like the sentence that will never go out of style, they only know how to cherish after loss, and for these orphans, they will naturally cherish the close people around them more after they have tasted abandonment or loss.
What intoxicates human beings themselves the most is often their distinguishing characteristic, emotion, from other life, but when it becomes the most beautiful color, it is also the most deceptive to the eye, and too strong emotions will only cause some loss and madness, and expel reason completely.
"It's all you, it's all you, this guy is here, so that the third brother will die like this!" One of the boys who cried the most suddenly stood up and said in an indignant tone to Sakura, who had a calm face and no emotional waves, but it didn't make Sakura have any response.
"Uncle Ken, it doesn't look like you've won now, that is, you and Little Aiqi should have 'escaped' from them?" Sakura said to Ken, who seemed to be in silence and loss because she had just announced the death of the child she had been with the longest time.
"You cold-blooded fellow! Didn't you see that?! The third brother died because of you! You guy, don't you feel guilty at all?! You guy! The boy, who had been completely ignored by Sakura, stood up and yelled at Sakura, then stood up and clenched his hands into fists.
"If you don't want to die, just be quiet, if you don't figure out some things, all of us here won't be happy, and when the time comes, maybe you'll have to go to accompany your 'third brother'."
Sakura turned around, because her body was too petite, she could only look directly at the boy by raising her head slightly, and said in a tone that was even colder than the current cold wind, and the indifference and coldness in her blue pupils also made the boy feel a fear of the petite girl in front of him.
"Lang Maru! You can't blame Sakura for this, if you really want to blame it, blame me and little Aki! At this point, Ken interjected directly in a very stern tone and said to the boy.
"How come, this can't be blamed on Mr. Ken and Sister Aiqi! It's clear that this monster came here to ......" After hearing Ken's words, the boy looked very indignant and pointed at Sakura, but before he could say more, Ken continued to speak.
"Sakura-chan is a poor child just like you! Moreover, Sakura can't be blamed for the third wife's matter, he is for little Aki! And at that time, it was the people of the church who really killed them! They've already recognized me......"
Ken's expression at this time also became serious, very serious, Ken at this time was Ken as a magician, and as the most authoritative person, his words also made this place quiet.
"But ......"
"Say no more! As Sakura said, now is not the time to talk about this, and if you don't hurry up and prepare, then I'm afraid everyone will ...... The barrier on the periphery won't last long......"
Ken said to the children seriously, and then closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to say such cruel words to these immature children around him, and said it extremely softly.
“…… Got it, Mr. Ken...... I know, but I only ...... the death of the third brother" The boy closed his eyes and glanced to the side, but just then, another voice interjected.
"The third wife is not dead!"
I don't know when, Aiqi, who has woken up, said very seriously and stubbornly, and this also made everyone look at her in unison, no one made a sound, and then, Aiqi smiled sweetly and innocently as if she was satisfied with everyone's performance.
"The third wife has been with Aiqi and me! It's like Ku-chan! Together forever! ”
Innocent, absolutely pure white smile appeared on the lovely blonde little girl, innocent, impossible purer voice like an angel's chant, everyone fell silent, both the children and Ken, looked at the girl with a kind of pity and unbearable.
"Mr. Ken, what should we do?"
After a moment, the boy spoke to Ken first, and everyone else focused their attention on the gentle man.
