The intervention of the wings
On this day, as in the past, the master and his wife went to sea on a routine business, and they could not come back until half a month later. Bai Xuan's daily etiquette classes and theory classes were carried out as usual, and my daily training was also half a day. The master suggested that I be injected with hormones, but the thought of seeing them inject colorful things into living people at the base made me a little panicked, so I insisted on training myself. Actually, the master didn't teach me anything, just gave me some training advice and found some resources for training techniques. He was always an unsmiling but meticulous person, no, he treated his family on the other side. My routine is different from theirs, so I hardly eat at the same table with them, except for some special festivals, my wife will ask someone to ask me to go. It was only on such occasions that I could see the smile on the face of the master, who was a good husband and father, whom I admired, but who I often felt out of place with them.
Every now and then, my sister would look at me with wide and curious eyes, but we never had a chance to talk. Finally, once she talked about a topic related to me:
"What does it look like to have wings?"
I was sure that she was looking at me at the time, and there was still a grain of rice stuck to the corner of her mouth, and I watched the grain of rice being scraped off, and my heart did not stop, and just as I was about to answer my curious little sister, the master grabbed it and said, "You can stew and eat it." ”
"What nonsense," the master noticed that Bai Xuan had been looking at me, and the master's unintentional words just now had obviously hurt me, "That's not chicken wings or duck wings." ”
"Xuanxuan, look, can the ducklings fly? Even if chickens can fly, can they fly high? ”
Bai Xuan shook her head.
"What does this mean? It's better to have wings than not to have wings, and having wings is a bit of a hindrance. ”
It turned out that the master used the topic to play and perfectly explained the uselessness of wings, which is diametrically opposed to what he said to me before! Even the master seemed to approve of it, and did not refute a word, but lovingly silently shook Bai Xuan's head. I silently lowered my head and wiped out the remaining residue from the plate.
My heart was sweating, it was being corroded by some force, and I felt like if I stayed any longer, my whole body would be moldy. I couldn't stay any longer, so I suddenly got up, recklessly lowered my head and said, "I'm sorry, master, master, I should have gone to train earlier, and now I really can't postpone it any longer." ”
"Okay, you go down first." The master's tone was the same as usual.
"Wait, I'll go with you."
My wife has never been to the training room before, so why did she suddenly propose to go to the training room with me today? I couldn't figure it out for a moment, and I could only think that she wanted to say something to me, or that I had questions for her.
We walked together for a distance, and remained silent until I spoke first.
"Why do I want to live here?"
My wife didn't reply to me immediately, and I could tell from her expression that she was surprised by this sudden question, but then she gave me another answer that I couldn't understand: "I didn't let you live here." ”
"Is it a master?"
"Maybe."
Her vagueness also blurred my thinking, and I looked at her meaningful face, which seemed to be thinking about something, and then said, "You can't invite so many grievances, only by living here can you get rid of misery and distraction." You probably remember that time on the streets, right? ”
I nodded, and with a hmm, who would forget those painful experiences?
"So living here is your greatest protection."
I began to understand her intentions, but I still didn't understand her first words.
She saw my doubts and continued, "In the future, you will be Bai Xuan's most loyal guardian, and I don't want you to implicate her because of personal grievances. You are a vampire, you should understand the sense of honor of the vampire clan, then remember," she turned around suddenly, her eyes were full of some kind of strength in her determination, "Gongye Bai Xuan is the only crown prince of the Gongye royal family. ”
This phrase lingered in my mind for a long, long time, and I would dream of it even in my dreams. This sentence gives me the feeling that she seems to be someone from the future, who has traveled through time and space to warn me.
"What's wrong? Uncomfortable? ”
Then I noticed that she had been putting her hand on my arm and shaking me as if she had been woken up, and she was no longer the person from the future.
"The words at the dinner table just now were for Bai Xuan, don't take it to heart."
"Is it really useless?" Since the topic is open, I won't stop until I break the casserole.
"No, it's just that Bai Xuan doesn't need it, neither Collins nor I want her to have this gene," she continued, and she continued to explain, "The wing gene is currently only found by you and Collins, and if the news leaks, not only will the individual be treated inhumanely, but it will also be more likely to cause Resident Evil." So we want to do our best to protect you and protect the secret genes unique to the vampires. ”
I was not pleasantly surprised to hear her words, on the contrary, I was distressed by what had happened to me before, "No wonder they all call me a monster." ”。
"Those are ignorant ordinary human beings, you are the one who wants to do great things, and you should not let those villains block your path to achieve great things."
I looked into her energetic eyes again. She's a very ambitious woman, but unlike other people of status, she's not selfish, and I can sense that she's making a huge contribution to the vampires.
