Chapter 51: Next Stop
The cool morning breeze slapped against Yu Yi's face with a chill, making him even more sleepy, although the lack of sleep all night had already made his eyes bloodshot. In the carriage, Bosling and Pearl fell asleep on the cushions, and the only ones who didn't sleep in the carriage were him and the shadow driving beside him.
It's not that he doesn't feel tired now, but the thoughts in his head make it difficult for him to close his eyes calmly. Fighting for an unrelated town at the risk of getting into trouble, only to be driven out by them as the culprit of the killing, no matter who it is, will feel indescribably aggrieved.
But that's not what makes it the hardest for him to sleep. He tilted his face and glanced at the heavy sword Blood Fury that was placed aside, yes, what really made him feel troubled was this so-called sword.
Yesterday, he saw the sword's ability to cause trouble again, and after being bloodthirsty, he actually let him kill all the orcs. Yes, it should have been his enemy, but it should never have ended up in such a situation. More crucially, the orc's words made him question whether he should kill those orcs.
And then there's ...... To end all this in this way, what difference does he do from the orcs?
In any case, these troubles were caused by his blood rage. The scene of those orcs returning to their human form after being killed is still fresh in his own memory, and it is no wonder that the townsfolk misunderstood.
Therefore, this time he has strengthened his determination to seal the sword. I wasn't prepared to go to great lengths to seal Blood Fury or anything, even this time, I wouldn't use it again, even if I fought with my bare hands.
"Shadow, let me drive, you can go and rest." He took a deep breath and said to the silver-haired woman beside him.
"Are you sure? I don't want to die in a dream for no apparent reason. Shadowhead didn't reply, vetoing the request with her trademark cold face.
"Is it hard? Out of that town, I've watched you drive all the way, and I've pretty much learned everything. You can go to sleep with peace of mind, aren't you afraid of early aging? Yu Yi smiled and stretched out his hand to take the reins.
The female mage seemed to be on guard against this, and nimbly dodged his hand: "You have been entangled with those orcs all night, and you need to rest even more. ”
"It's rare that you also have a considerate time," looking at the appearance of Ying's silver hair fluttering in the wind, Yu Yi couldn't help but think of her who was quite feminine last night, "If I could sleep, I would have gone to sleep a long time ago." ”
When it was described as considerate, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on Ei's face, and he just wanted to argue but listened to the other party's words, and couldn't help but ask, "Can't sleep?" Is it because of a stain on your body, or something else? ”
Yu Yi also understood that the reason why Ying asked this was because he had quietly taken a bath last night, and he shook his head with a smile: "I admit that I am indeed a little clean, but this time it is because of something else." As long as I am tired enough, I can fall asleep in the mud. ”
The two were silent in unison for a moment, after a few beats of the horse's hooves. Shadow spoke again and asked, "It's about killing those orcs, right?" ”
This time, Yu Yi didn't expect Ying to be able to guess his thoughts, and looked at her with some surprise: "How do you know?" ”
"When we went to look for the carriage before, that little imp had already told us about the orcs. Knowing those stories, it is not difficult to guess what follows. Shadow replied earnestly.
"Isn't it difficult?" Yu Yi raised his eyebrows, "Anyway, I have opened my eyes today, it turns out that you also have an empathetic side." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage shook violently. He looked back at the unkind look of the shadow, and knew that his mouth should be enough.
"You're bothered by killing those orcs?" Once again, Yukage takes the initiative in conversation.
"Yes, although when I saw them kill humans before, I did want to break them into pieces," Yu Yi leaned on the carriage and unconsciously tapped the wooden board with his hand: "But when I know that they are just people who have been persecuted......"
Before he could finish speaking, Shadow had already turned his head and gagged him with another question: "If you didn't have that sword, how would you end it up?" ”
"I ......" for a while, Yu Yi found that he was unable to answer. And the next question is already on the way.
"Do you think those orcs will cooperate with you and end up in a more ideal way? I don't think anyone knows better than you what they were like, right? Shadow shook the reins and glanced back at him.
In this regard, Yu Yi knew what the answer was, but he still chose to remain silent for a while. So, he heard a third question from the female mage.
"Even if those orcs come to their senses, will this be able to undo their sins? You and I have seen the sins they have committed. I think they don't forgive themselves as long as they're a group of people who deserve to be forgiven. Shadow had already made his attitude clear, "So, what are you worrying about?" ”
After being silent for a long time, Yu Yi kept thinking back to the words of the shadow just now. Gradually, the dead knot in my heart began to loosen somewhat.
At this time, Tingying whispered again: "What you need to resolve now is not the contradiction between humans and orcs, nor the contradiction between slaves and slave owners. The only thing you need is to resolve it with yourself. ”
After a sentence, Yu Yi only felt a burst of enlightenment. What is the reason to embarrass yourself? It's too hard, and it's only yourself who is embarrassed, and no one can be perfect, as usual to forgive Shadow, Bosling, and Pearl, and forgive yourself once. So last night's incident may not be as serious as imagined.
"I really didn't expect that there would be a day when you would be asked to preach to me." After untying the knot, Yu Yi finally laughed, he always thought that Ying was just a cold magician who had been soaked in the sea of books for a long time, soaked to the point of not understanding human feelings. But now it seems that this is not the case.
Maybe it's because of the good mood, surprisingly, looking at that cold face at this time makes him feel extremely cute. The ghost sent the gods, and his hand was already pinched on the other party's face.
By the time he realized that it was the shadow in front of him instead of the well-behaved Bai Siling, it was already too late. He was even ready to be pushed off the carriage, but Shadow's punishment didn't come until he withdrew his hand.
After a moment, he heard the shadow in his ear say urgently: "Pull the rope, don't let the carriage run into any ditch." ”
Ying, who was reluctant to hand over control of the carriage before, dropped the reins and hurriedly pushed open the door to enter the carriage and got in. In a hurry, Yu Yi couldn't see the expression on her face, but he could still imagine that it would be quite exciting.
"Okay, I'm the only one left to drive, woo......" Quite freshly grabbed the reins and took control of the carriage, but the bad thing was that at this time, the sleepiness that I couldn't find just now was found by myself at this time. He anticipated that the rest of the journey would be difficult: "I'm going to get tired of driving......
So, until noon, the three women in the carriage woke up one after another, and the carriage did not collide or run into the ditch or other accidents. Of course, Yu Yi, who was controlling the horses at the front of the car, was already red-eyed, and finally waited for Shadow to take over for him, handed over the reins and fell on the soft seat in the carriage.
The first time I drove a car, it wasn't a good memory. Fortunately, he could finally close his eyes now, and even the jolts of the carriage could not stop him from sleeping.
"Boom!"
As the carriage thumped, a dull voice sounded in the carriage.
He got up from the ground and rubbed his eyes, the sour feeling in his eyes convinced him that he hadn't been lying down for long. However, the carriage did stop, so something must have happened.
He looked at Pearl and Boss next to him, but the two girls didn't tell him what was going on, they just looked at him with sympathetic eyes. Perhaps, his current appearance is indeed worth a little such a look.
At this time, Shadow also walked into the carriage and brought bad news: "Okay, it's time for us to get off." ”
"What? Did I hear it wrong? This sentence made Yu Yi's eyes red, although he had been like that since early morning, "Why?" Didn't we get a carriage with great difficulty? Is there anything not good about this carriage? ”
"Yes."
"But, but I think it's already, it's good enough." The deep sleepiness made him speak a little unpleasantly. And the appearance of shaking his head made Bai Siling and Pearl on the side laugh secretly.
"You may think it's stylish and comfortable enough, but that's what makes it fatally inadequate." Shadow handed the kettle forward, motioning for the other party to take a sip of water to lift his spirits, but he didn't expect that the other party's lowered head had completely ignored the kettle. She had no choice but to take care of herself and continued, "This carriage was not bought or rented, it was the three of us behind an inn...... Opened out. ”
In order to make sure that Yu Yi was still listening, the little girl Pearl stepped forward, snatched the kettle, and poured the water from it on the black hair. Little by little, the cool water penetrates into the hair and flows down the hair.
"Whew! What's wrong? What's wrong? Yu Yi, who was awakened by the cold, raised his head and looked around a few times hurriedly. Only then did he realize that he had fallen asleep again just now, and he brushed the water stains on his face: "Okay, where did you just go?" ”
"We stole this carriage," she said again, but Ying accidentally said what she wanted to dodge, and she coughed before continuing, "And this carriage seems to be the private carriage of a certain family, and this family must not be small." The carriage is lost, and they will surely get all the eyeliner on this road to their attention. So, if we don't want to get in trouble, it's best to get out of the car while we haven't been eyeliner. ”
This time, Yu Yi understood it. "Then can't we drive a little further and wait until we fast forward to the next stop, and then get off?" He struggled, and now his greatest wish was to close his eyes and sleep for a while, even for ten minutes.
Shadow discouraged his hopes without relenting: "It was okay earlier, but not now." The next town is not far away, and we should be in sight of the eyeliner any further. A carriage had just passed, and they seemed to have noticed us. ”
"Alright, alright, let's go." At this point, Yu Yi also knew that it was useless to say more. Fortunately, the cold water just now also gave him a pick-me-up, and now he can at least barely stand up. It's just that when he got out of the carriage, he stumbled a little and almost hit his head on the ground.
"Eh!" Fortunately, Pearl was agile, and this was the only way to catch him.
"Let's go." Seeing the two people walking normally in front of him, Shadow turned around and said to the elf girl.
So the four of them got out of the carriage and walked forward in the afternoon sun. Because of the "burden", the speed of forward is not too fast. Fortunately, however, the carriages passing by on the road became more and more frequent, indicating that they were not far from the town.
Sure enough, less than half an hour later, they had seen the rather prosperous town. To be precise, only three people should have seen it, and one of them almost walked with his eyes closed all the way with the support of the three girls.
Perhaps this small town not far from Fenglu Town was also affected by the "Warcraft Riot", and even during the day, the guards at the gate of the town were still tight. The shadow who walked at the forefront supported the deed master beside him and walked in front of the guards at the gate of the town, which were obviously much more qualified than the previous town.
"Do I need to pay a fee to enter the town?" She asked, her hand ready to pull out her mage badge.
"Miss, our town never reaches out to guests for money." The soldier waved his finger, and he pointed to the people who had entered the town next to him: "Just do like them, and let us check your arms." ”
"Arms?" Shadow was a little puzzled, but he still calmly stretched out his arm.
After the other party looked at her wrist, he nodded and said, "You can go in, and your friends." ”
So the silver-haired woman lifted up again when she was the owner. Similarly, the soldier looked at his wrist and finished the examination.
Only then did she ask, "What is this checking?" ”
"Don't you know?" The soldier was a little surprised, "I thought you knew, but looking at your friend's appearance, I thought he was also a captive who had just come out of the hands of those elves." ”
After saying that, several soldiers stopped hiding it and laughed.
On the other side, Bai Siling, who had just been inspected, froze there after hearing the soldier's words.
