Chapter 170: The Shepherd
Self-loathing.
On the other hand, the young man immediately understood what kind of status this thousand mirages had in her mind.
Not lovers, brothers and sisters, or any kind of common affection in the world, but Gala has seen the mirage as an undesecrated, untouchable existence.
This explains why, when she found out that the young man was messing with other women, her first reaction was not to be blatantly jealous or teach, but to choose to disguise her emotions. Because in Gala's consciousness, she does not have the power to interfere in Mirage's life, and she even thinks that she is not worthy to participate in Mirage's life, and only plays the role of following and protecting.
So when Gala proposed to take the young man back to his homeland, he was very curious about the mirage, and the young man agreed.
The young man sat down by the fire and warmed his hands and asked, "What about your people?" ”
Gala, who was holding the fire, was visibly stunned for a moment, and said, "I must have migrated far away from the cave where I was born." ”
"You don't care about them either."
Gala's face sank visibly, and she lowered her eyes and continued to fiddle with the fire, turning over the rabbit roasted on it.
Along the way, Galado explained to the young man about the affairs of his tribe, and he knew that these tribes had fled with madness, and they might have recovered after fleeing their homeland, or they might have gone crazy and scattered halfway, and the rest of them had integrated into other nation-states.
But none of this was in Gala's consideration, and if it weren't for the protection of Mirage's first replacement, she wouldn't have cared about those people at all, and wouldn't have protected them from the exit where the monsters gathered.
After constantly climbing the mountains and mountains, the young people gradually felt the difference in Gala's homeland.
The scene in front of you is changing and combining extremely strangely, you may be able to see the snowy peaks and green mountains at the same time, the wasteland and the rainforest full of mire at the same time, the barrenness and vitality are revealed on this land at the same time, and the alternation of early spring and midsummer makes people feel absurd and stunned.
It's a place that completely deviates from the laws of the four seasons in the outside world, and it's not too surprising that there are some weird monsters in it.
What made the young man even more puzzled was that in his cognition, it was clear that there were still two more countries to the north before it was possible to reach the wild land that Gala said, but it was only after following Gala through a long river filled with fog that he broke into a no-man's land, and when the morning light broke through the fog, he suddenly noticed a change in the things in front of him.
The young man is very strange, the homeland in Gala's mouth can remain hidden in such a strange and monster-ridden situation, and almost no one in the outside world knows about it, I am afraid that the main reason is not that it is too far away from the prosperous place, but that it is related to the strange monsters and natural strange powers in Gala's mouth.
The young man couldn't help but think of many legends about the no-man's land, in which all kinds of strange creatures that had long since disappeared, and some people had written letters that had been handed down to the world, telling of the terrifying beasts he had seen, and the mountains that could move and breathe, but they were considered to be monsters.
Maybe it's true, but some people come in and never get out, and some people go out and never find their way in.
The young man couldn't help but ask, "How did you find the way?" ”
Gala was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you were born here, it will come and pick you up by itself." ”
This is the strangeness that Gala found when she returned before, even if she started from the same place, followed the same path, and returned to her homeland at a different time. But as soon as Gala approached the misty river, she knew she had found the entrance.
She had also thought about walking with curious strangers, but the strangers she had gone with had either gone crazy while crossing the river or had gone missing for no apparent reason, and when Gala finally found their bodies, most of them had been bitten and mutilated, and it was difficult to make out their faces.
But the young man has the blood and bones inherited by Mirage, and there is also a connection here, and he is not very worried about his entry into Gala, the underground river that Mirage's father said at the beginning, must have something to do with this river now, and it may even be the same river, and when Mirage's mother was able to enter her homeland unharmed without accidents, presumably this place is not an exclusion of outsiders, but it has its own rules of judgment, and people who are not recognized cannot enter here.
"From this path, you can go straight through the back hill of our clan's quarter, and you can see the cave where I was born," Gara smiled quietly in the night.
However, the next day, when Gala was in a good mood, she led the young man over the rugged road over the back of the mountain, and when she reached a height where she could see the scene below, the young man's smile suddenly froze when she saw her.
The young man followed her gaze, and there were large dwellings gathered at the foot of the mountain, people walking back and forth, dogs barking and chickens barking, and large areas of farmland growing just right.
Didn't all the aborigines here move away because of madness?
Gala was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grabbed the young man and rushed downward, and was stopped at the door, only to see a dark-skinned, tall man standing on the path, stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a reluctant smile that was a little unhappy: "You are looking for a mirage again?" ”
"......" Gala was as frightened as if she had seen a ghost in the day, and muttered, "Sanb," and said, "You have not been ...... by me, but by me."
Sam Yi asked, "What were you doing?" ”
This makes people seem to be unable to see the youth, and Gala has completely forgotten the existence of the youth at this moment, and urgently asks: "You are alive, is the mirage also alive?" Where is he? Where is he now? As he spoke, he rushed past him and rushed to the village, but was stopped by Shen Yi's sinking face, and said, "Why are you so close to him?" Why don't you go hunting with me......"
"Let go," Gara turned back with a terrifying gaze like a poisoned knife, "or I'll kill you." ”
Sanyi had never seen Gala so violent, and he still knew how terrifying Gara's hands were, in fact, everyone in the tribe knew that it was just that Gala's image was too gentle and gentle, so that people forgot about her terrifying strength. Shen Yi subconsciously let go of his hand, and Gala ran away, so fast that it disappeared in an instant, and the young man couldn't even find the target after him.
Sam Yi also sighed in annoyance, and chased after him, leaving only the young man standing in place, unable to tell for a moment whether they could not see themselves, or whether they were just deliberately disrupting themselves out of arrogance of rejecting outsiders.
While he was hesitating, the young man heard the sound of bleating, and when he looked back, he saw that the sheep were crowded down on the other side of the mountain road, bleating vigorously.
Behind him was a man waving a tree branch and a cloth towel on his head, looking younger than the youth, delicately between the young man and the young man, surrounded by the vigorous atmosphere of youth that could not be concealed, and he came down from the mountain road with a few brisk steps, looked up and saw the young man, showed a very sweet smile, and asked in a tone that seemed to have known his arrival: "Why are you standing here?" ”
This shepherd has a very good attitude, smiles very sweetly, and is very close to people, but he is not as repulsive as Gala said, of course, there may still be some normal people in the tribe, after all, the original Mirage was of good character, did not bully the weak, and did not reject outsiders.
The young man gave his name and said, "I came with Gala, but I was thrown down halfway, and I don't know what to do." ”
"Gala," said the shepherd, who thought for a moment, and looked very familiar, "she must have gone looking for a mirage, so come with me." ”
The young man wondered what this mirage that had been in the heart of Gala for so long looked like, and he followed.
Although he had many conjectures before, and even thought of the real reason, the moment he saw the mirage, the young man still felt that the blood all over his body was cold.
Mirage, no, to be exact, he looks almost exactly like Mirage.
He is older now, and there are always some subtle differences in his facial features, but this does not affect the similarity of the two.
The young man recalled that when Gala was the best and most delicate for him, it was also the moment when he began to be jealous of the person called Qianmir in Gala's mouth, and pretended to go to find a woman, and as a result, Gala killed the woman, which was when he was in his youth, and he and Qianmir were highly overlapping in terms of appearance and age.
The young people who were once aroused by the strict care and tolerance of Gala were mistaken from the beginning.
Even Gala's jealousy, all of Gala's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, it is not the youth that causes them to arise and change, but a thousand mirages, and they have always been a thousand mirages.
The young man once thought that his existence could control Gala's psychology, whether he was happy or unhappy, whether he was safe or not, could affect Gaara's heart all the time, and he even once had a sinister mind to enjoy these, and was spoiled, thinking that even if Gala had a thousand mirages in his heart, he was always different from a thousand mirages, and Gala was so concerned, there was always a reason for him.
But the truth is that he himself has nothing in Gala's heart at all.
The young man now looked at the mirage with the same eyes as when he first looked at him, or even more passionately, with a mixture of fascination and pain.
If she once looked at the youth with restraint, then the thousand mirages in her face at this time are complete martyrs, a person who longs for salvation.
Gala stood motionless behind the mirage for a long time, and then slowly knelt down, her whole body shaking violently, and crying silently.
The youth had never seen her show such intense sadness.
The shepherd carefully observed the young man, watched him stiffen, turned away with anger and jealousy, and hurried to follow.
"What were you just laughing at?"
"Was I just laughing?" The shepherd touched his chin and grinned, "I'm sorry, that's what I am, please don't mind, I'm not laughing at you." ”
The young man was in a very bad mood, and his attitude towards people naturally did not follow, so he glanced at the shepherd coldly, and when he saw that he continued to study something, he said: "You are very painful, but you are different from Gala's pain, you are much more complicated than her, why are you in such a complicated mood?" ”
"You love her, you don't admit your love, and you want to be emotionally superior to her, but you have a lingering inferiority complex in your heart as if you are the most despicable...... Ah, indeed, Gala's appearance and abilities may be regarded as a goddess on the outside, do you think so in your heart? ”
"A posthumous and independent goddess suddenly came to you, connived at you and raised you excessively, identified her as her own person, worried about her feelings for you in the bottom of her heart, and despised her own gains and losses."
The young man changed color and shouted, "Enough! ”
He asked coldly, "Why do you know so much?" ”
