Chapter 2: The Grief of Young People
readx;? The boss put the wine down and made a gesture to invite the four of them to taste, and after saying that, he turned around and wanted to go back to the back of the bar, but the voice of the leading man behind him left him behind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Boss, since there are no guests now, why don't you sit down and have a drink, we are here for the first time, and we would like to take this opportunity to ask the boss about something. ”
As the owner of a bar, it is normal to accompany customers to have a few glasses of wine and get closer to each other, not to mention that today's boss Uma does feel a little bored, coupled with a trace of curiosity about the identity of the four people, so he did not refuse at all, turned around to the bar and took another cup, and sat next to the leader.
"In Lower Uma, the owner of our shop, may I ask your surname. ”
The first thing the boss said when he sat down was the name of the leader, so that it was easy to call each other in the next chat.
"Boss Uma, fortunately, just call me Levins. ”
The leader stretched out his hand, and the two of them shook it gently.
"Listening to Your Excellency's accent, it should be from the imperial capital. ”
"The boss is really good, I am indeed from the imperial capital. ”
When he sat down, the boss took a closer look and found that the man in the lead was indeed a young man in his twenties, although he didn't understand why he was so young and unkempt, but he looked very haggard, with deep sunken eye sockets and dark eye circles, which seemed to be caused by long-term alcohol abuse and insomnia, so from a distance, the age was much older. But in the eyes of the leading man, the boss Uma did not see a haggard and tired look at all, those eyes were clear and bright, and there was a kind of palpitating light between the opening and closing, but when you looked at him, you would find that the depths of his eyes exuded that deep sadness and cold death.
The boss Uma who ushered in the delivery has read countless people, but he has never seen a young man with such complex eyes, although he doesn't know what he has experienced, but just from his appearance, he can be sure that this must be a person with a story.
The boss Uma couldn't help but be more curious about the origin of this leading young man, especially since the other party was also involved with Yustidu, which made him have to pay more attention.
"I wonder what Mr. Levens is doing here?"
The boss Uma asked cautiously, although he was full of curiosity about the young man named Levins, but directly inquiring about the purpose of the guest and experiencing this kind of taboo still made him a little apprehensive, so Uma asked while observing the other party's expression with the corner of his eye, if he found something abnormal, then he would stop the topic immediately. But fortunately, the young man did not have any unusual reaction to his questioning, and his heart was much more steady.
"Alas!"
The young man sighed before he could speak, and in this sigh, the boss heard the heavy sadness that could not be dissolved.
"I have an uncle who lives in the Higg Empire, and he has a farm near a small town two hundred miles east of Lua, where the family lived until the outbreak of the Sigg civil strife. But in the later stages of the war, my uncle's house was also destroyed and his property was looted, so in order to ensure the safety of his family, my uncle took them to hide in Yous, and stayed for more than a year. When the war ended, my uncle returned to Yuz with some of his family, and the rest of the children were left in Yus, waiting for the situation to calm down on Higg's side. Later, after waiting for more than three months, I finally received a letter from my uncle, in which my uncle said that my aunt had suffered a double blow physically and mentally because of the fatigue of the journey, coupled with the destruction of her home, and she fell ill all at once, and she had tried various drugs to no avail, and she saw that time was running out, so I asked me to send my three cousins and cousins over to see each other for the last time. ”
After sighing, the bearded man recounted the experience and purpose of his group, and pointed to the three little ones sitting at the table, indicating that they were his cousins.
The boss let out an "oh", and his eyes swept over the three children, indeed as the young man said, there was a sad expression on the faces of the three teenagers, this kind of grief because of the loss of relatives is difficult to pretend, especially for the three teenagers.
The boss sighed and made a look of deep sympathy. It's just that this experience can explain the sadness of the three children, but how can an aunt's serious illness make a nephew so sad, the boss can't figure it out, and when his eyes swept over the wand in the little girl's hand, there was still a hint of suspicion, a family with such a small magician, I'm afraid that the background is not simple, how can a war force them to leave their homeland?
"The boss must have misunderstood, this is not a real magic wand, it's just that my cousin has admired magicians since she was a child, so in order to make her happy, I made a fake model for her, and this crystal is also an ordinary gemstone. ”
The bearded man apparently saw the boss's doubts, so he explained further.
"Life and death have fate, wealth follows the sky. Don't be too sad, maybe when you return home, your mother will be in good health. ”
The owner, Uma, raised his glass and toasted a few people, and said a few words of relief. But apparently the little girl did not accept the boss's affection, her expression became angry, she gestured at the boss a few times with the wand in her hand, and recited a few incantations, the boss even faintly felt the crackling sound of lightning in his ears, and the hairs at the roots of his ears instantly stood up.
"Claire, don't make a fuss!"
The young man shouted, but as his voice came out, the boss suddenly felt the lightning in his ears disappear, as if it had never happened.
"Does the boss really believe that there is such a thing as a fate in this world?"
The young man quickly diverted the attention of his boss and turned the topic to the relationship between life and death and fate.
"Fate, I don't understand as a businessman, but as far as life and death are concerned, I still have some feelings, if everyone is happy and satisfied when they live in the world, then there is no regret when they die, but if a person lives in the world is painful, maybe ending life may not be a good choice. ”
The boss Uma just said two words at random, where did he have any clever opinions on life and death, but when he saw that the other party seemed to be very interested in this topic, he could only say two words at will, but he didn't want these two sentences to make the young man fall into a state of contemplation.
The boss's words seemed to evoke many memories of the bearded man, and there seemed to ripple in his sad eyes, many years ago a wise old man once said to him when he was still a magic apprentice, that fate does not matter whether it is there or not, and he was convinced of it back then. But today's state of mind is very different from back then, so it is inevitable that his thoughts will change, and sometimes if he believes in fate, he may still feel that his painful heart will feel better.
