9. Chapter IX

John's family is not anxious about the disappearance of "White Snow", if it is gone, it will be gone, and they will die anyway. Only Wei Ya was thinking about it, and she didn't want to eat.

Dick persuaded her, "You girls are emotional, and animal diseases are commonplace, and if every cow or sheep dies, we will all have to weep for it, and how sad it is to live." ”

Dick was not indifferent, but the cattle and sheep were only tools of life for him and his parents, and their value was only to serve humans, at least their livestock was not used to send them to the slaughterhouse for the table.

Wei Ya also understands this truth, but she still loses sleep for "Bai Xue", and her mind is full of the cute little head of the calf, and the little tail that is happily attached to her back.

It's terminally ill, where can it run with it? And why run?

Viagra couldn't figure it out, so she spent the whole night pondering the question.

She thought of the abnormality of the "old macho man" on the night of the rainstorm, and suddenly had a bizarre guess.

After lunch, and after everyone else went back to their bedrooms to take a nap, Via went out to the mountain and walked towards the forest with a clear goal.

The people in the village pay great attention to the protection of the forest, even if the heating and house wood will not damage the forest itself, there is no trace of artificial excavation in the forest, the road that Theo took her out that day was only a path less than twenty centimeters, which could accommodate a person, and it was no wonder that Via would get lost, this road was not easy to walk during the day.

On one occasion, Via quickly went to Theo's house, where Mr. Philip had said that Theo's home had been reworked on the basis of a house built by a previous ranger, and that the apple tree had been planted by the former ranger.

She went to the door and knocked,

"Is anyone there? I'm Via. ”

After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and Theo was stunned at first when he saw the girl outside the door, and then quickly turned back to expressionlessness.

Wei Ya didn't care about his cold face, and asked anxiously, "Have you seen a calf?" ”

She stared at Theo, keenly noticing the subtle change in his expression, and she affirmed,

"'White Snow' is with you, right?"

Theo suddenly walked out of the house, turned back to the girl who was still stunned, and said,

"You come with me,"

Via hurried to follow him.

They came to the cabin on the side again, Theo opened the wooden door, and Via stepped forward to see that "White Snow", who had been missing for almost two days, was nestled in a ball of hay, chewing on food in her mouth, and did not look weak, as if she had returned to the time when she was healthy before.

She was overjoyed, "The veterinarian also said that albinism can't be cured, isn't it better now?" ”

After saying that, she looked up at Theo, who was also looking at "White Snow", but his eyes were a little numb and a little pity.

"It's going to die soon," he said.

"Impossible," Viata retorted without thinking, "don't you see how good it is now?" ”

Theo didn't speak.

At this time, "Bai Xue" found the arrival of the two, stood up, and walked towards them with his calves, and Wei Ya subconsciously opened her hand and wanted to hug him as before.

Unexpectedly, "Bai Xue" didn't seem to see her, and walked straight to Theo, and when she was about to arrive, her legs became unstable and she almost fell.

Theo glanced at Via, who was completely focused on the calf, and he took off the black glove on his left hand, bent down and touched the little head of "White Snow".

A slender and beautiful hand came into Via's eyes, this hand was paler than the others, the nails were very neatly trimmed, there was no trace of dirt, the joints were distinct, not coarse, but it gave people a very powerful feeling.

At one point, Via thought that Theo was wearing gloves on his left hand because he had a disability or a scar on his hand, but apparently she was wrong, and there was no problem with his left hand at all.

Theo was still stroking "White Snow", and the calf, which was originally unstable, slowly stood up on all fours, and made a "moo" sound in its mouth.

Via's eyes widened in surprise, was she dazzled, or did Theo have "magic"?

Without waiting for Via's joy, Theo poured a bucket of merciless cold water on her head,

"It's at the end of its lifespan."

As soon as Theo's words fell, "Bai Xue", who had just stood upright, fell to the ground without warning and never got up again.

Via's expression was stunned for a moment, she walked to the side of "Bai Xue", squatted down, reached out and touched its fur, still with body temperature, but she didn't feel a little undulation.

It's dead.

Something damp ran lightly across her cheeks.

Theo saw her tears, crystal clear as if they were the purest thing in the world,

He lost his mind for a moment.

It was this brief loss of consciousness that caught him off guard and was caught by Wei Ya's left hand.

"Don't you have 'magic'? Save it. ”

Theo was extremely frightened, instinctively trying to shake her off, but was shocked to find that Via was not affected in the slightest, she held his left arm with both hands, and looked at him with pleading eyes.

That's impossible

How is this possible?

Why is she the only exception?

Via had no idea that Theo's heart was turbulent at the moment, and what had been ingrained in Theo's cognition was overthrown by her.

Kevia's mind is only on "Bai Xue",

"Save it, please save it."

Theo originally thought that his heart had been refined cold and hard enough to deal with the contempt and rejection of the world, but when he heard the girl's sad cry, a cold place in the depths of his heart, he couldn't help but feel melted, and he couldn't bear to say,

"I'm sorry, I don't have magic, I can't save it."

"No, no, don't lie to me, I saw you revived it with your left hand," Via's hands wrapped around his left hand completely, holding it up, staring at Theo with teary eyes.

He still said, "I'm sorry, I can't save it." ”

Viagra burst into tears, and her feelings collapsed as she witnessed two animals die in front of her in quick succession.

Theo raised his right hand behind her back, hesitated, and still took her in his arms.

Via buried her face in his chest and cried like a child.

He sighed and hugged her tighter.

As if she wanted to vent the sadness of her untimely death in her previous life, she cried for a long time, and her tears were about to dry up, until she smelled a very faint smell, the smell of the silver fir tree, and the smell of the forest, vast and boundless, inclusive and warm. She came to her senses, she was in Theo's arms, and this smell was the smell of him.

She had never been so intimate with the opposite sex, and subconsciously pushed Theo away, without force, just a slight rejection, and Theo immediately let go of her.

She looked up and saw a gloom pass through his eyes.

She didn't think much about it, and asked Theo with red and swollen eyes,

"Why did you get 'Snowy' to stand up? Why did Lao Yang and 'Bai Xue' go into the forest to find you? What are your secrets? ”

"They're just here to survive," Theo's eyes were complicated, with a maturity beyond his own age, "and they're just like you, thinking I could save their lives." ”

Obviously, Wei Ya understood what he meant by every word, but when it was connected into a sentence, she couldn't understand what he was saying.

Theo looked at the confusion in the girl's eyes, and struggled in his heart,

She was different from everyone he had ever met;

Her singing voice is joyful and contented, without worries or sorrows;

She has a pair of kind eyes that love to smile;

She said she believed he was a good person;

Most importantly, his left hand didn't hurt her;

She is the only exception.

Via finally came to her senses, and she intuitively felt that Theo's unspeakable thing was the reason for refusing to pay easy jobs and living in the mountains and forests.

How could she force him to tell her ** so cruelly, is she willing to make the secret of her crossing known to everyone? Everyone deserves to be treated with respect.

"I'm sorry you didn't ask me those words," she apologized sincerely.

Theo, however, turned around and walked to a bare/exposed rock, where there was a weed, which had not been exposed to sufficient sunlight for a long time, and its leaves had turned yellow and withered.

Theo stretched out his left hand and gently pressed it against the dead grass.

In the next second, the dead grass turned green at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Via stared at the scene in disbelief.

The fresh weeds grow higher and higher from the cracks in the rocks, and quickly bloom into unknown pale yellow wildflowers, reflecting the blue rocks, which are beautiful like miracles.

However, this beauty lasted only less than half a second, and almost in the blink of an eye, the weeds withered rapidly, and the yellow flowers disappeared, faster than a flash in the pan, and Theo's hand was still attached to the weeds, and it had no effect.

Wei Ya looked at the gray-purple eyes in a daze, and he also looked at her deeply.

She suddenly understood,

He can make the dying life briefly return to its fullest state.

No wonder the "old macho man" has become strong and vigorous again, and the "white snow" has become healthy and lively again, it turns out that all the qiē are illusions, and they have never escaped death.

However, this does not affect his work outside, and there is no need for him to avoid people's eyes.

No, there should be something else hidden,

What if not a dying life?

Theo didn't give Via time to speculate, his left hand touched a dandelion that was growing just right, and it immediately turned black little by little from the flower until the rhizome, all of which turned black and gray.

Via, frightened, took a step back.

Theo laughed at himself when he saw her reaction, sure enough, it was still like this, why did he have any more extravagant hopes?

He turned away silently, his black back was very lonely, surrounded by green and boundless trees, this black was really like the fallen leaves on the tree, helpless, floating, not close to people, not knowing the way forward.

A puzzled voice suddenly sounded behind him,

"Doesn't it have an impact on people? I touched your left hand just now, why don't you feel it at all? ”

As soon as the words fell, his left hand was held by a slightly cool hand,

He suddenly turned around and saw the girl smiling at him,

"Let me try it again."
