Sixty bitter sugar

Three days later, in the inn of the next town, the young woman looked at the little boy huddled in the corner and sighed.

Susyetk looked at his thighs that were ground all with blood blisters, and finally understood the meaning of Chu Quan's words, he naturally refused to say it, but how could Chu Quan not see his increasingly pale face, she handed him the wound medicine that she had already grinded a long time ago, so he also took it without saying a word and smeared it.

It happened that the sky had not completely darkened, and the woman walked out into the street alone, wandered around a few times, and finally found the shop she wanted.

"Weigh me half a pound of candy." Hatsuizumi put down a few gold coins, raised his voice slightly, and said to the boss in the depths of the shop.

As far as Chuquan is concerned, the sugar at this time is still very rough, but fortunately, the candy is available, and she tasted one, which is not too sweet, just right. For the boss, this is a big customer, and the money given is enough to buy several times the amount of sugar, and he lowered his voice and sold to Hatsuizumi: "In addition to sugar, we have a new thing here......

"Tell me?"

He carefully took out a bag of black and mushy East powder and handed it to Hatsuizumi: "This...... It is said that it is liked by the upper class gentlemen, and as long as water and sugar are added, some people say that eating this thing will make people forget about their troubles. ”

Is it so godly, **rudimentary? Hatsuizumi wondered and probed.

…… Oh, it turned out to be chocolate, I should say that it is not chocolate, but cocoa powder.

But for a child who is in pain, it should also make him a little more relaxed.

"As many as you have, I want them all." The boss can take out a small amount, but the price quoted is staggering to Hatsuizumi, who is used to the low prices here, but after all, this thing is still a rare thing that can only be enjoyed by the upper class at this time, and I don't know how the boss got it.

After walking out of the shop, Chuquan did not go back directly, but found an alley where no one was, and secretly took out the candy, cocoa powder and the extra bag of cocoa beans from the boss, and began to synthesize chocolate.

Naturally, the first spring of chocolate can't be made, and in fact, after she got out of the kitchen, she was basically not much different from the scene after the disaster. Hatsuizumi has his own set of rhetoric about this: "Now that they are all organic people, there is nothing wrong with me not knowing how to cook." ”

"At least someone else's cooking won't cause an accident." White Mustard smiled kindly at her.

“…… We're good friends, right? ”

"If you fix the house yourself, we're still friends."

Fortunately, the ability can not be wrong, she picked up a piece and tasted it, the mellow aroma, the taste is not so sweet that it is greasy, and the bitterness is also very light, from the result, Hatsuizumi feels that this is no different from modern chocolate.

She wrapped the chocolates, which she had divided into slices, wrapped in tin foil and carried them back with her in a bag.

The young man looked at these small dark brown squares, and frowned a little inexplicably: "This ...... Can you eat it? ”

"Don't worry, this one is delicious." Hatsuzumi packs the ticket.

Southwark's brow furrowed even tighter, and he hesitantly reached out, picked up a slice, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.

A hint of thick sweetness overflowed in Susyetk's mouth little by little: "...... Delicious. ”

Hatsuizumi smiled: "Although I don't know how much it can be reduced, this can also relieve your pain a little." ”

Southwark looked up at her, pursed his lips, as if thinking about something, and when it was finally dark, Hatsuizumi heard Southwark speak, "...... Why? ”

"It's okay if you don't do it for me...... It would be a great gift for you to bring me out of there," his voice was slightly hoarse from trembling, and his big chestnut eyes were stained with water, "I have been living a life of asceticism since I was a child, but now I am becoming more and more debauched because of such days......"

"I don't look like myself at all, and every time I see myself, I feel like another person who doesn't exist in the first place." knew that the other party was not for himself, but he unloaded his heart little by little.

"I don't think that's good." Southwark lowered his head again, clenching his fists.

Hatsuizumi stirred the fire, a little at a loss, what should she say?

"I promised your mother, of course it's not all, I'm not a good person, you know this," after a long silence, the voice finally broke the silence of this space, "Life is a very difficult thing, and it is the same for me, no matter how much I try to make myself strong, there will always be times when I am vulnerable. Often I don't have a choice, so when I have a choice, I always choose the one who makes me happier, if I have to say, for you who are walking with me, I 'think' that I will have a better life if you have a smooth life, and it is not too difficult to achieve this goal, so I choose to do it, in the end, I am an egoist in this matter. ”

As if she felt that she was too strict, she raised her voice a little and continued with a smile: "Besides, I'm a witch, and seducing children always has to make them happy before they can continue." Isn't that what the story of the candy house is about? ”

"Candy House?" The boy tilted his head in confusion.

“…… Isn't there a story here? Then I'll tell you about it. ”

As Suthwark listened, he was thinking about something that had nothing to do with the fairy tale.

The child's keen nature has gradually realized that Hatsuizumi is not "Arena", she has too many unreasonable things and doesn't care, a person with such terrifying power will be regarded as a witch by the Holy See, if her hand is taken out early, how can she be sent to the gallows? She had a purpose that no one understood, but Southwark had no way of knowing at the moment.

Looking at Southhek as he slowly fell asleep, Hatsuizumi breathed a long sigh of relief and stood up to look out the window at the bright moonlight.

She cared so much for Southwark, partly because she needed him, and partly because he was a bit like Endlight, and yes.

There is certainly no problem with empathy, it just shouldn't be in a trained mobile unit member.

At a time when the whole world was about to be deleted, so concerned about a cloud of virtual numbers, this kind of thing rarely happened to her before, at least not for so long.

One of the most desperate things about the virtual world is that everything is sensory real – it's real to the brain, it's non-existent to reality.

It's just a qiē that she experiences "now", is it really illusory?

Behind so many anomalies.

At least the moonshine looks the same, except that there is no authority on it. Fingers opened and closed in front of her eyes, and she bit down a slice of chocolate, clearing her chaotic mind a little with the slight bitterness.
