Chapter Seventy-Nine: Rainy Eyes (3)
"How long has it been since you little one bathed?" asked Lia, sitting on the shore of the lake, looking at the girl in the middle of the lake.
After a moment of silence, the girl turned to look at Leah and said, "I don't remember." ”
"Yes. Leah looked into the girl's eyes and whispered.
The pain that flashed in the girl's eyes was short-lived, but it was still captured by Lia, who couldn't find anything to care about in this world, and taking a bath was a trivial thing for her.
After hearing Leah's words, the girl didn't speak, just stood in the middle of the lake and quietly washed her soft body.
Fortunately, the lake is not deep, otherwise with the girl's short height, I am afraid that something funny would have happened.
"What about your parents, have they died in the war?" asked Leah, looking at the girl in the lake.
Hearing this, the girl's body stiffened, and she stopped her movements and did not answer.
Looking at the girl's appearance, Liya didn't want to hear the girl answer yes, because if that was the case, then she was the girl's enemy, so she could understand how crazy the girl would do after knowing her identity.
The expected answer did not appear, the girl just shook her head and did not speak, and then straightened up her messy hair.
Seeing this, Lia didn't ask any further, but watched in silence as the girl clumsily combed her hair.
"Poof. ”
Hearing Leah's laughter, the girl turned her head to look at Liya in confusion, as if asking what to laugh at.
In response to the girl's doubts, Leah beckoned the girl to come to her side.
"Is there something wrong?" the girl was puzzled, but obediently came to the shore where Ria was.
"Don't you know how to fix your hair?" asked Lia, touching the girl's little head.
Silently shaking her head, the girl lowered her little head and didn't know what to think.
"I'll help you. Pulling the girl in front of her with some pity and letting her turn her back to her, Lia whispered.
"Hmm. The girl replied softly after a half-silence, standing obediently in front of Liya without moving.
Smiling, he took off the armor from his hands, and his face seemed to have a special aura, and he gently combed the girl's messy hair.
"Little one, your hair is really messy. It took a while for Leah to realize that she had underestimated the dirtiness of the girl's hair, and she laboriously cleaned the girl's hair, and said with a hint of helplessness.
The long hair was as messy and uneven as a bird's nest, and at first glance I knew that it had not been combed for a long time, and there were clutters such as hard mud between the hair, and some of the hair was entangled as if it was glued together by super glue, and if you were not careful when cleaning it, it was easy to tear the girl's hair together.
It's just that I'm afraid that Liya herself hasn't noticed how weird her behavior is now, if you let Gawain and the others see it, I'm afraid they won't even be able to close their mouths, after all, Liya has never shown such a gentle side in front of people.
It's as if he's taking a bath for his daughter, and although he's helpless, he's not impatient.
"No one taught. Half-loud, the girl spat softly.
"Really, didn't anyone teach you?" said Leah softly.
"Nope. The girl's voice did not fluctuate in the slightest, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Leah didn't know what to do for a moment, but remained silent and continued to wash the girl's hair.
The girl didn't speak again, silently looking at the lake, feeling the warmth of her hands, which were not big on her head, but made her feel the warmth she had never felt, and fell into an atmosphere called warmth for a while.
From a distance, although it looks like an older sister washing her sister's hair, it feels more like a mother and daughter.
"Nope. After a pause, the girl turned to face Leah and spoke in her puzzled eyes.
"What?" asked Leah, confused, not understanding why the girl suddenly said that.
"There are no parents. The girl looked at Leah and said slowly in an unrelenting voice.
Leah just touched the girl's head and didn't speak.
"No name. The girl continued.
"Didn't your parents give you a name?"
"No parents, no names. The girl said calmly as she looked at Leah. "I've never met my parents, and I've never heard of my parents, so I don't have a name. ”
'Had she been abandoned by her own parents?' and how did she survive all these years?' thought to Lia, a little uneasy. After all, how can a little girl who has never seen her parents survive in this troubled world.
"My memory starts two years ago. As if knowing what Ria was thinking, the girl said again. It's just that the voice is flat to the point of weirdness.
"So I only have memories of the last two years?" asked Lia, looking at the girl in surprise.
"Hmm. ”
"Are you scared?" the girl asked again, looking into Lia's eyes.
"Afraid of what?" asked Leah, confused.
"My power. The girl said with a gloomy face.
"Your strength?"
The girl didn't speak, she turned her back to Leah, and suddenly Lia felt a fluctuation that made her heart palpitate, although it was not enough to threaten her, but her intuition told her that it was a very dangerous energy just now.
Then, Lia saw a scene that surprised her to the extreme, a big tree facing the girl on the other side of the lake, so quietly turned into a little stardust in her eyes and dissipated between heaven and earth, and there was no trace of the existence of the big tree.
It's a bit similar to the 'Root Destruction' in the fifth ** of the Moon, which completely erases a thing from the root and makes it completely dissipate in the real world, which is a terrifying power.
The girl didn't seem to see the tree dissipate, but turned around and looked at Leah lightly, although her eyes were calm, but there was a hint of anticipation hidden in the depths.
How many times, how many times she has been banished by people because of her own power, and she is afraid of her power that is not understood by people.
Destruction, as if the power to destroy everything, made her completely feared and insulted by people, and avoided like a plague god.
Are you used to it? Are you used to seeing that kind of monster-like look at you like a monster?
Perhaps, because of people's indifference and fear, they are desperate, they have doubts about their birth, they question what they are in this world for, whether that ominous power is a curse imposed on them by the world, and whether their parents were killed by the power they carry.
All of this has made this young girl collapse, and she can still live in this world, I am afraid that there is only a small hope in her heart, and the survival instinct that she has as a human being.
Even she herself took it for granted that she was right to be feared, because the power that she doubted was even her own.
Being able to make something as if it had never appeared before can be erased, and this incredible power for ordinary people seems to be taken for granted by being feared.
Although she never hurt the people around her, she couldn't erase their fears, and when she saw her, she was banished like a beast.
Her eyes were calm and without a trace of ripples, as if she was waiting for Lia's answer, although her heart rippled, but the indifference over the years allowed her to easily hide her emotions.
"Isn't that beautiful?" Liya was stunned for a moment, she didn't answer the girl's question, just put down the girl's smooth hair, and then looked at the girl's delicate little face, and said with a smile. "Girls just have to make themselves clean to be beautiful. ”
"Aren't you afraid?" asked the girl, reluctantly, as if she would not give up without an answer from Leah.
"Did you hit me?" asked Leah, looking at the girl seriously.
The girl was slightly stunned, as if she didn't understand why Leah suddenly asked this question, then lowered her head and thought about it, and shook her head gently.
"Are you afraid of me?" said Lia again.
There was another shake of the head.
"Isn't that enough? You can't beat me, you're not afraid of me, why should I be afraid of you who are weaker than me?" said Lia softly.
"Well, thank you. There was a silence for a while, and the girl raised her head and looked at Leah seriously.
"But why didn't you use any kind of power on me just now?" asked Leah in confusion, not using any kind of destructive attack when the girl attacked her just now.
"It didn't work. The girl replied softly, and then added, "I don't know why this power doesn't work on humans, and every time I use it, I feel tired. ”
"yes, then don't use it again. Leah didn't ask too much, although she felt that this girl was by no means that simple, but it didn't matter, did it?
