Chapter 923: The Atavistic Phenomenon

Nightingale didn't know what he was going to do, but she turned around obediently, feeling her shoulder bones being caressed by her slender fingers, which made her heart itch a little.

"I see." The man seemed to have discovered something and said, "Your situation is a bit special, among the night owl clan, this kind of person will indeed appear within a hundred years, this is a very normal atavistic phenomenon." ”

"Atavism?" The nightingale was puzzled.

"It has something to do with the birth of the Night Stalkers, but you probably wouldn't want to know." The man swallowed back his words and said, "It is inevitable that there will be wingless people among the Night Stalkers. ”

"What do you mean...... Do I really have no wings? I won't have it in the future?? The nightingale's heart almost rose to her throat.

"Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened."

“……!!!” The nightingale's face was pale, and she fell to the ground with a vague step.

"Are wings important to you?" The man didn't seem to understand why she had been hit so hard.

"For us Night Stalkers, wings are more important than life." The tip of her nose was sour, and tears welled up in her eyes: "How is this possible! A-Niang said, I will have wings when I grow up! Auntie lied to me!! ”

"I guess she just doesn't want you to be too sad." The man paused.

"But if I can't grow wings, I'll be even sadder!!" She yelled a little uncontrollably.

The man was silent, and after she was sad for a long time, she also cleaned up her mood a little more, and apologized instead: "I'm sorry, it's my own bad temper, that's why my emotions are out of control, I'm sorry." ”

"You don't have to apologize to me, I don't blame you." The man stroked her head with his hand: "But when you finished crying and venting, you have to promise me that you can't ask your mother anything when you go back, she also lied because she wanted to protect you." ”

Nightingale nodded ignorantly.

For the first time, she felt the warmth from a stranger, and this warmth also gave birth to the thought that her heart had been smoothed by reality, and after separating from this big brother that day, she went back to make it clear to her mother that she wanted to get back on her feet, instead of feeling sorry for herself all the time.

"It's really gratifying to have that kind of thought." Her mother had always been worried about her condition, and she had been worrying about what she would do if she found out her lies when she grew up, but she found that the child she had been worried about had grown up.

For many days to come, she would run to the ruins every day, hoping to see the big brother who had redeemed her like a god again, and not every time she went, sometimes every five days, sometimes half a month, the big brother would only appear once.

"I can meet you here every time. That's great! After three "chance encounters" like this, the nightingale said happily.

"You come here every day, and you don't have a good rest during the day, it will affect your life, right?" The man said.

The pierced nightingale rubbed his nose and said: "I'm different from them, probably because I don't have wings, I'm not very afraid of light during the day, so it's okay not to sleep, at night, I can't help much anyway, and no one cares about me when I sleep at home." ”

"You're really special."

Besides, if she sleeps, won't she miss the opportunity to meet her big brother, so she doesn't waste this short time that will not be disturbed!

But this sentence kept her out of her mouth.

They all tacitly did not ask about each other's situation, and she was sometimes wronged, and she was willing to come here to cry to him, although she did not want this big brother to comfort her in anything, but as long as he was there, she felt unprecedented peace.

"I haven't seen my big brother for so many days, and I feel like I'm about to die......"

"You're probably using me as a pillar of your heart. But it's dangerous. The big brother explained her feelings for herself.

"Psychic pillars?" She thought about it carefully, she didn't know what it meant, she and this big brother Pingshui met, the relationship was fragile to the point that it would break apart with just a light touch, the only thing that was intertwined was this place, if there was no place, they would not have met one day.

"I know big brother is just a dream of mine, but don't wake me up yet, I just want to stay here, don't you drive me away, okay?"

The eldest brother looked at her tenderly for a moment and said, "I may have to leave here." ”

"Are you leaving?" The nightingale was stunned.

"Yes, I've always been a wanderer, and I've found the answer I'm looking for, so I won't be here again anytime soon." The big brother stood up.

Nightingale felt an unprecedented loss, but still held on to the last bit of hope.

"Short-term? How long exactly? Big brother, will you ever come back? ”

"My short-term is not measured by time. Chances are, until you reach the end of your life, you won't see me again. He said softly, and when he saw the little child crying behind him, he finally relented, and plucked a flower from the side and handed it to her.

"You still have to learn to face the demons alone, I am not your salvation, just a passer-by in your life, and you just need to remember the time you have known me, the commitment to yourself, and learn to bear the storm with your heart."

These were the last words that the mysterious big brother said to her, and she kept the flowers he gave her, vowing to create her own world.

But the Night Stalkers have no wings, and they are struggling.

On the one hand, the night owls live on cliffs, and if they don't have wings, it's very difficult to walk on foot, and they are always at risk of falling down, and when she climbs hard, some bad guys will deliberately fly up and down behind her back from time to time to show off their wings.

She used to be annoyed, and even fell down in anger once, but fortunately someone grabbed her ankle and survived. But they seemed to be happy to tease her and make her angry, and since meeting the big brother, her mood has calmed down a lot.

Those people saw the provocation several times and actually ignored her, but for them, it was a lack of fun, and people couldn't help but want to bully her even more, so they began to deliberately grab her shoulders, shake her, and make her unstable on her feet.

"Ahh Yes!! Stop! ”

The bullied nightingale who couldn't stand was lying on the cliff in fear, all the anger and pain before broke out, her heart was like ashes, sometimes it was not that she wanted to care about anything, but some people just wanted to force people to be cornered.

"Nightingale!! What are you doing to my kids! ”

The mother saw that she was being bullied, and rushed over angrily, as an adult night owl clan, the wings are also extremely powerful, and the swept wind swept away the few ignorant children, because the anger could not suppress the power, the children who could resist the wind hit the stone wall fiercely, and planted down.

“!!!” The mother protected her with one hand, and wanted to catch the falling child with the other, but she passed by, and the consequences of this miss were difficult for them to bear.

Two of the three children were seriously injured and one died.

Because of this incident, it directly caused the night owl clan to denounce her and her mother, she and her mother snuggled helplessly in this storm, they were imprisoned, but the mother who lost the child was not willing to let her go, and had to let the heretic of Nightingale die.

Voices against her grew louder, and almost everyone was involved in the decision to put her to death.

The matter was supposed to be decided by the king, but the king happened to go elsewhere during that time, and no one knew about it. So they had to start their vote, and most of them thought she was damned.

Among the Night Stalkers, she is considered a heretic. She has been trying to break free from her imprisoned fate, but this fate has played with her so much, it is not a matter of her own lack of effort and cheer up.

"Big brother...... You said I could get better, but I'm fine now, but they won't let me live......"

The nightingale cried helplessly in the cold prison, clutching the flower tightly in her hands.

If she can't travel in the sky in this life, then as a beautiful fall, it can only be the end that belongs to her in such a painting.

But when she woke up, she wasn't dead. And what wrapped her was a pair of blood-stained wings.

It is the mother's wings.

And her mother did not want her to die like this, so on the day they were about to execute her, her mother tore off her wings, disguised herself as her, and calmly died.

And after she fell to death, the people who cleaned up her mother's body knew that it was actually a substitute for death, and they were all shocked by the great maternal love of this dedication to life, so they also agreed that they would no longer delve into the sins of the nightingale.

She was almost broken.

Rushing to her mother's body, she cried and screamed, and the heavens and the earth wept.

"Sister Nightingale? What happened to you? Suddenly a familiar voice came from the side, and the nightingale broke free from the nightmare, and she paused, touched the corner of her eye, and at some point she stared at the red candle, thinking of the memory of her mother's death.

"Sister, you really still care, right? I'm going to make it clear to the woman and let her do it herself! ”

"Ye Yu, you're not so impulsive, I said it, this matter has nothing to do with that person, I didn't cry because of this." Nightingale dissuaded.

"What sad thing do you think of, sister?" Night Feather on the side asked cautiously.

"Sad thing? Yes, no. ”

Nightingale stroked her wings behind her back and smiled: "I just thought of the stupid things I had done and the fantasies I had held, and I was disappointed and angry at my past self, so I punished myself!" ”

After saying that, she pulled a feather from her wings, and the pain made her sober up a little.
