Chapter Seventy-Five: Gone

The thin horse neighed and stopped at the entrance of the village, Ye Yu almost rolled off the saddle, and he almost fell under his feet, and as soon as his hand supported the ground, the person ran over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Erica under the tree, the old man in his last years, trembled and took out a sharkskin short knife from his bosom, with a red jade cherry on the hilt, and shook it with the old man's trembling hand when he took it out.

"Ah......h

"Grace-sama, I'm sorry, Erica can't wait for you any longer. I'm sorry, Erica can't keep her promise. ”

The old man looked at the short knife in her hand, a layer of tears slowly appeared in her cloudy eyes, she raised her head, and felt that the whole world was leaving her.

Then, she saw that in the corner of the house, a person ran over, vaguely, as if it was the young man in white, coming towards her.

"Dangchang." The crutches hit the ground, and Erica took a difficult step, spread her hands, and muttered, "Lord Grace...... Are you coming to pick me up? I'm ...... Hallucinations? Lord Grace, is that you? ”

Ye Yu's eyes were mixed with anger and coldness, and he rushed forward with a brisk stride, hugging Erica who slowly fell forward.

"Smack!"

The sound of the collision of body to body resounded under the cherry tree, which had no leaves and no flowers, only dead branches.

"Erica, I'm back, I'm sorry I'm late." Ye Yu whispered in her ear.

"Grace...... My lord. Erica's voice was already weak.

Ye Yu gently pushed Erica, looking at her face like a dead tree, where could he still see that the snow-white Western beauty in his prime seemed to be just an old man in his last years.

At this moment, his eyes filled with tears, and the old man in front of him, who was full of wrinkles and snow-white, like a female ghost, had been waiting for him for seventy years.

From a great beauty who fascinated the whole village and even spread her reputation all over this area, she has become an old man who is now thin and yellow.

She's been waiting for herself!

Seventy years ago, he lied that he was Grace? Cook, came to this village to inquire about the World Tree Fruit.

What Grace? Cook is familiar with the same Grace himself? Cook!

Ye Yu feels that this game is so real, and the real one is a bit cruel.

When he turned around and left, he also took away a beautiful woman's heart and seventy years of life.

When they met again, he didn't recognize this infatuated girl, and he actually regarded her as an NPC who issued a task.

Why? Why didn't you recognize it at the first time!

Perhaps, if I recognized it at the time, I can get some relief from this guilty feeling now.

However, he did not recognize it.

"Mistress Grace...... Are you coming to pick me up? Am I going to Heaven? Erica looked at Ye Yu with cloudy eyes, but her eyes were blank, as if she was not looking at Ye Yu in front of her.

At this moment, Ye Yu saw the light blue water color in his cloudy eyes, and then, he felt that in this clear water, there seemed to be a Western beauty with skin like mutton fat, a high nose bridge, and smiling cherry lips, smiling at himself, with the joy of reunion after a long absence, the coquettishness of waiting, and the overflowing happiness that was as warm as jade and sweet as honey.

"Ah...... I...... Here it comes. Ye Yu was halfway through his words, but he was choked up and speechless, and only after a pause did he say the last two words.

She said that she would always wait for him. Then she waited for her own time, under this cherry tree.

And herself, she has been waiting for 70 years.

For seventy years, she was not allowed to see her.

"Lord Grace, I'm old, you...... Don't look at me, you're still so handsome and charming, but I'm already as ugly as a ghost. Erica's gaze suddenly dodged, and she turned her face away, but she didn't let Ye Yu look at it.

When Ye Yu heard this, he had mixed feelings in his heart, guilt, and emotion...... It's more helplessness.

He cupped Erica's face in both hands and pointed her in front of him: "No...... You're still the beautiful Erica, the Erica who smitten that Wallace guy smittens. ”

At this moment, the tears in Erica's eyes finally rolled down, she pursed her lips, raised her thin hand, kept wiping away the tears in Ye Yu's eyes, and said, "It's great to see Lord Grace again." Hey? Mistress Grace...... Why are you crying? There is no need to cry, Erica has lived a very fulfilling life, every day, every moment, every second, there are people to miss and people to wait for, which is actually a very happy thing. ”

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry, Erica, I should have been back a long time ago, I should have been back a long time ago. Speaking of this, Ye Yu was already a little speechless.

"Ah, Lord Grace, how have you been all these years?" Erica wiped away Ye Yu's tears again, seemed to think of something, and asked busily.

"I'm doing well, well." Ye Yu nodded busily.

Ye Yu's voice fell, Erica's face suddenly bloomed with a satisfied smile, at that moment, as if the traces of time had faded, in Ye Yu's arms, it was still that young, beautiful, young girl who would blush and heartbeat when she saw him.

"That'...... What a ...... More than anything else...... All...... It's ......" Erica fell softly on Ye Yu's chest with this satisfied smile, and her thin hand also fell into Ye Yu's arms.

"Smack!" The sharkskin dagger slowly slipped from her hand, as if she had come to the end of her life.

Ye Yu was shocked, frowned and closed his eyes, his teeth were clenched, but his nose was sore, but the tears were something he couldn't stop no matter how he gritted his teeth.

I don't know where the pink petals floated, blown by the breeze, lingering around the old and young people who knelt on the ground and hugged each other, and with a "whew", they blew violently into the blue sky.

Perhaps, Erica's soul also flew to the boundless clear sky with the petal breeze on this sunny afternoon.

Ye Yu raised his head, his eyebrows and eyes were closed, and he was speechless.

At this moment, he could deeply feel the ruthlessness of the years, and that real feeling.

Perhaps, they are NPCs, but for them, they are a living human being, a friend and lover who has come into their lives and brought their joys and sorrows, they can sacrifice their lives for him, or they can wait for a lifetime for him.

This kind of truth is cruel to them, but it is not cruel to themselves!

Once again, he felt the feeling of his heart being twisted.

If he hadn't sworn to never enter the limit again, perhaps, Erica wouldn't have to wait until the end of her life to meet him.

If that hadn't happened, perhaps Erica would have traveled to many places with him, spent a happy life, and then left in his arms with a smile.

If......

There are too many ifs, but what's the use?

He picked up the sharkskin short knife that Erica had fallen to the ground, and seemed to see in front of him, the infatuated girl, after every work, holding the short knife, looking at it, smiling unconsciously, and holding it on his chest, looking into the distance.

Before going to bed, gently say good night to the short knife, and then smile sweetly and fall asleep, as if the person who gave this short knife in the distance will hear her good night, and respond to her good night, and fall asleep with her.

When I was unhappy, or when I was troubled by a man, I complained about this short knife, and then picked it up again, covered it on my chest, hoped, looked forward to, and fantasized about reuniting with the young man in white.

……

He took a deep breath and carefully laid Erica's body away, then walked under the cherry tree, dug up the soil under the cherry tree, and dug a pit with his bare hands.

At this time, Bojie was already standing silently behind his master, but he did not step forward, but silently watched his master dig the grave with his bare hands until the blood was dripping.

He knew that only by doing this way could he make his master feel a little better.

"Can you, let me help too." At this moment, a blank voice sounded from the other end of the village.

Ye Yu turned his head to look, the old knight, silver armor, he said in a hoarse voice: "Wallace, let me do this last thing for Erica." ”

Wallace was slightly stunned, looked at Ye Yu, and said, "You...... Are you really Grace? Grace? Cook...... Not his descendants? “

Ye Yu smiled bitterly, in the eyes of the NPC, he was no longer the same Grace? Cook, although he used the template from ten years ago, and it looked exactly the same as Grace seventy years ago, but in the eyes of NPCs, it was also different.

I'm afraid that Erica is also at the end of her life, so she recognizes herself as a mistake, mistaking herself for Grace seventy years ago? Cook, instead of really knowing that he was the man he had in mind seventy years ago.

Ye Yu did not argue, but silently dug a pit, and then carefully looked at the old man as if he were in the pit, and then bulldozed the earth and sealed the grave.

Finally, he pulled out the short knife of the sharkskin scabbard, and the cold light flashed on the blade, and he held the short knife in his hand, and carved the words word by word on the withered cherry tree.

"In an instant, the beauty is gone, the old man is red, and the years are gone, and the tears are hard to end. Jun went to the flowers, Jun returned to the people have been thanked, all kinds of soft intestines, after all, there is no regret. ”

After doing all this, he turned to Wallace and said, "Wallace, if you can still find where Barnard's bones are buried, please help me say I'm sorry." ”

As he spoke, Ye Yu walked out of the village step by step, and before he knew it, his legs were already stained red with blood.

Just now he knelt down to catch Erica, I'm afraid that his knees and calves have been worn out.

Wallace watched Ye Yu leave, his face still hesitant, and at this time, suddenly a pink petal fell from his eyes.

He turned his head to look, his face stunned!

The withered cherry tree is now full of pink flowers, and in the breeze, the flowers fall down, which is beautiful.
