When you come, you hold small hands, and when you go, you are alone.

A layer of unchanging monotonous life is boring and boring, and many people choose to endure the habit in silence, sometimes it is not that they can't change their lives, but that they are afraid that they can't bear the confusion after the change. Every day in the world, there are people who are old, sick and die, mixed with happiness, remorse, unwillingness and other complex hearts, life is too short, and it is not even time to savor nostalgia before it has come to an abrupt end.

The dirty and ragged beggar in the dark alleys on the corner of the street smelled all over his body, and there was not the slightest anger in his cold and cloudy eyes, and the cheap sympathy of the people could hardly bring him food and clothing, but he would continue to beg, beat, and drive him away every day, and if he didn't want to starve to death, he could only choose so, maybe one day, his body would be found in the garbage heap and the smelly ditch, and no one knew his name, no one wanted to know his name, only that he was an insignificant beggar.

Life is like this, let alone life.

Alan is like an outlier in the eyes of people, even if some people say that he is harmless, but people will still subconsciously avoid rejection, like a non-venomous snake, knowing that this snake can't hurt themselves, but tend to human instinct, most people will still be afraid. What exactly are they afraid of? What they are really afraid of should be the unknown. Even if you let your words fall wildly to prove the harmlessness of this snake, they believe that only if they have personally confirmed the harmlessness of this snake can they dare to truly believe it.

Instead of returning home after sending Nina to the school, Alan went straight to Joanna's shop to help.

From unloading to cleaning, like a tireless busy worker ant, no matter how Joanna tries to persuade him. Alain is still going his own way. It's a headache to be stubborn. For this reason, Joanna had to hire an extra worker to lighten his burden and soothe the guilt in his heart.

Whenever he was idle and had nothing to do, Alain would sit alone by the wall outside the storehouse and look at the sky in a daze, his eyes exposed in the gauze bandage would always be gray and empty like a pool of deep stagnant water, and his whole body exuded the indifference of no one to enter, his past was a mystery, his heart was a labyrinth that no one had ever been able to explore. Even Joanna, who has known each other for three years, is no exception, because he is a mute, a mute who can't speak.

Guy is another guy in the shop, a simple and honest peasant boy, young and strong and able to endure hardships, and his greatest wish in life is to marry a beautiful wife, preferably exactly like Joanna's proprietress Daddy, but he has no special thoughts about Joanna, and everyone has a love for beauty. Not to mention the young man who is already in love, but reality and reason tell him that it is impossible for him to be with Joanna's boss. The other party is like a bright moon reflected in the water, no matter how much you fish, it is in vain.

As long as Joanna can be seen every day and talk to each other, Guy seems to be full of strength and contentment.

For Joanna's brother Alain, Guy doesn't like to contact each other very much, I can't say why, the other party gives him a very weird feeling, indescribably weird, and there is a voice in his heart that always reminds him, don't get close to each other, otherwise it's dangerous!

Whether it's out of instinct or personal sensuality, Guy would draw a line with Alain except for the necessary contact at work, and Joanna didn't seem to be accustomed to it.

Joanna's shop is mainly engaged in the retail and wholesale of grain, and has been rooted in Fei'an Town for two years, with her outstanding talent and social skills, she quickly gained a stable source of customers, and recently even the most prosperous restaurants in the neighborhood are interested in her becoming a supplier, in order to negotiate this big business, busyness is inevitable, it is said that today she needs to meet with some important stewards opposite to decide on the signing of the final contract, so it is no wonder that she went out in a hurry in the morning.

Towards noon, Joanna, who had arranged to take care of the trivial affairs in the shop, stepped into a small light blue leather bag, got into a carriage that drove slowly outside the shop, and hurried away, and did not return until about two o'clock in the afternoon.

She seemed to have drunk some wine, her fair face was ruddy and slightly drunk, her clear and delicate apricot eyes were full of confusion, and her sluggish spirit made her raise her hands and feet with a lazy charm.

"Brother Alain, I may come back later in the evening, and I will trouble you to take care of Nina then."

Joanna, who was resting in a chair behind the counter, held her forehead lightly, looking drowsy and tired, and after catching a glimpse of Alain's entry and exit out of the corner of her eye, she immediately strengthened her spirit and said to him.

Alan nodded, and continued to be busy with the work at hand, but Guy, who was not far away, couldn't help but ask with concern: "Boss, isn't the matter of Jinbi Restaurant going well?" ”

"This is something that can't be helped, the competitive pressure is too great, and the success or failure depends on the final negotiation in the evening." Joanna smiled reluctantly, shook her head and sighed, as if there was something unspeakable.

"I've heard that the little nephew of Lord Broch of the Sheriff's Department has always been the supplier of Jinbi Restaurant, and it is indeed too difficult to compete with such an opponent, in case you offend the other party, it will be troublesome." Guy frowned and smiled bitterly.

"I know, but no one can say anything about business." Joanna gradually leaned on the counter and said with half-squinted eyes.

"Hmmm! Then I won't disturb your rest, I wish you all the best in the evening! Guy saw her tired face and said with a hint of interest.

……

……

At a quarter past three in the afternoon, Alain glanced at Joanna, who was lying on the counter and fell asleep, and then left directly for the school.

The public school in Fei'an Town has only 10 classes in a month, which is equivalent to one class every three days, and the class time is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., covering enlightenment, etiquette, dance and other aspects of education, so as to cultivate students' talents and qualities as much as possible. Private schools, on the other hand, do not have such good conditions and can only focus on basic enlightenment knowledge.

There were many parents waiting outside the school hall in advance for their children to get out of class, and there was no doubt that Alain was once again the center of attention in the crowd, standing under a paulownia tree on the side of the road, with no one around, and a kind of loneliness that did not fit in.

As the bell rang for the end of class, the open door of the school hall soon heard the cheerful sound of children shouting and shouting, and the parents who greeted their children flocked to the door to look left and right, trying to search for their children. Some parents even couldn't help but cry out. It presents a noisy scene.

Alain remained unmoved. Just indifferently watching the children who kept walking out of the school door.

He waited for about a quarter of an hour, and Nina finally appeared at the door, surrounded by three or four neatly dressed boys, chattering as if to attract her attention, but Nina was like a proud little princess with her head up, looking around with big bright eyes, and when she saw Alain under the red paulownia tree by the roadside, her cute little face suddenly bloomed with a bright smile. Raise your white and tender little hand and wave it.

"Ugly uncle! I am here! ”

Leaving behind the boy who was tireless beside her, Nina ran towards Alain with her little feet.

Reaching out and touching Nina's little head, Alain took her little hand and turned away, leaving a few unwilling boys on the other side to look at the two of them angrily.

The child's temper is like the unpredictable summer weather on the south coast, it is still cloudy in the morning, and it will be cloudy and sunny in the afternoon, Nina took Alain's hand and dangled back and forth, her little face was full of lively and cheerful narration of the interesting things that happened in the school today, and she was completely depressed before, and she was calling to go to the shop to apologize to her mother first.

It's a pity that the two are a step late. Joanna had already left for the Golden Pavilion, leaving Guy alone in the shop.

"Nina is here! Your mother told me before she left. If I see you coming, let me give you this piece of paper. When Guy saw the two of them, he hurriedly stepped forward and handed Nina a piece of paper in his hand.

The meaning written on the paper is roughly that my mother has something to do and may come back late in the evening, so I should listen to Uncle Alan at home.

As a result, after Nina read it, she immediately pouted and pulled Alan home in a puff.

"Ugly uncle! There were two of us left in the house. ”

As night fell, Nina sat at the dining table, holding a fork in her hand and tinkering with the steak on the plate.

Alain looked at her, pointed to the steak on the plate and shook his head.

"I'll eat well......" Nina picked up the chop and took a bite and chewed it hard, and after a moment, she frowned. Uncle Ugly—"

Alain looked up at her again.

"Too much salt."

“……”

Alain took a few bites of the steak on his plate.

It's not salty! Could it be that there is a problem with my sense of taste?

When he saw Nina's tears dripping down the steak, he knew that the steak was indeed salty.

The night was already very dark, but Joanna still did not come back, Nina, who was waiting for Joanna with Alain in the living room, could not bear to sleep, covered with a small quilt brought by Alain, and under the dim candle light, two large and one small lone shadows were reflected.

Click――

I don't know how long it took, there was a crisp sound from the door of the entrance, and Alain, who heard the movement, got up from the sofa and walked straight, and then, he saw Joanna swaying her body and walking, and suddenly her foot slammed, and the whole person was about to fall to the ground.

Alain's body moved, and his hands supported Joanna in time, only to feel a strong smell of wine rushing to his face.

"Oh?! Is it Arango?! Thank you! What about Nina? ”

Joanna subconsciously pushed Alain away, and when she saw his face clearly, she smirked stupidly.

Alain stretched out his hand to the living room.

Joanna nodded in confusion, reached against the wall and trembled towards the living room, but before she could take a few steps, she leaned down violently and vomited violently, and the ground was littered with foul-smelling filth.

Alain, who didn't seem to be able to look at it, patted her on the back, and when she was almost vomiting, her body was also paralyzed, but fortunately Alain dragged her up, and without saying a word, he picked her up and walked to the living room!

"Alain! Let me go! Let me go! ”

Joanna's reaction was very violent, and the show punches kept pounding Alain in the face.

Alain ignored it and walked over to another spare couch to put her down steadily.

At this time, Joanna finally quieted down, her eyes were closed, her eyelashes blinked, her body curled up on the sofa, her silver teeth biting her delicate lips, her delicate ruddy face was extremely charming and enchanting, and her snow-white slender neck showed a different kind of temptation under the open collar.

If Alain was a womanizer with bad intentions, he would have pounced fiercely and ravaged this weak woman who had no power to resist.

However, he didn't.

He did only two things.

Bring hot water to Joanna, cover her with a thin blanket, and finally, sweep away the filth she vomits.

After tidying up everything, he stood outside the living room, looked at the mother and daughter sleeping peacefully on the sofa, blew out the candles, and left.

In the starry night sky, Alain stood by the windowsill, he stretched out his hand, took off his clothes, and began to peel off the gauze bandages on his body little by little, and in a moment, a man covered in ugly burn scars appeared naked in the moonlight.

He raised his head, his hideous and terrifying face was no longer as handsome as before, only the gray and empty eyes did not change.

His name is Derrank. Xia Lan, a lucky man who escaped death, a living dead who was reduced to waste.

In the endless void, a hysterical laugh vaguely echoed in his ears, his eyes were vaguely filled with dazzling light, his body was vaguely suffering from the pain of melting, and the clear memory fragments seemed to be vivid as yesterday.

Collapsed consciousness, collapsed plains.

A point of light shimmering in a subtle light buried deep in the earth.

Darkness falls, chaos rolls over.

The ethereal point of light can go out at any moment.

Time seems to have passed a long, long, moment? 10,000 years? There is no concept at all in the vague consciousness.

The point of light gradually stabilized, and the light gradually became blazing and dazzling.

Until one day.

Spots of light pierced the darkness and tore through the chaos.

Again, again.

Charan woke up and regained her life.

However.

He was accompanied by endless pain.

The burning pain in his body was still enduring, but the loss of strength completely shattered his belief in living in this world.

Name: Derrank. Charan

Class Level: Swordsman of the Realm of Civilization (68) (Sealed)

Health: 43/1280 (health cannot be restored while sealed, and health continues to drop)

Talents: Slash (Sealed)

Abilities: [Enhanced Camouflage] [Enhanced Swiftness] [White Wolf Secret Sword] ...... (Cannot be cast while sealed)

Mission: Seal Lift (Required)

Seal seal! Everything is sealed!

What if you have super power that overrides all living beings? In the sealed state, he is no different from a wasted person, and he doesn't even have a clue to lift the seal!

The most important thing is that his life is constantly declining, and within a year, if he still does not find a way to break the seal, he will die completely.

Feeling his weak body, his heart also fell into a dead silence.

Perhaps-

He could be truly liberated.

Ordinary, plain, enjoy the last time of your life.

Yes.

He has given up. (To be continued.) )
