Chapter 31: Singing to the Moon (I)
When Gu Xuan regained consciousness and woke up, it was already night.
Although I can't see a bright moon that should be high in the sky, but fortunately, this world also has the difference between night and day, which is the only thing to be happy about, at least to some extent, there is a common ground between here and outside.
After waking up, Gu Xuan wanted to stand up immediately, but as soon as he moved, there were bursts of severe pain all over his body, even he couldn't bear this pain from the bone marrow, and in desperation, he could only continue to lie on the ground very unsightly.
The next moment, Allen's cold but hidden warm tone that was not easy to detect came from the side.
"You're awake, it's fine. β
Gu Xuan tried hard to open his eyes, but found that his eyes were still blurry, and after a long time, he refocused, and after a little observation, he found that he was still by the lake, just hiding in a shallower place with grass, and beside him, was sitting with a dark face, obviously in a very bad state.
Adam also turned his head with difficulty, and at the same time let out a surprised but very weak voice.
"You're awakeγγγγγγ β
Gu Xuan slowly opened his mouth, which had been glued together by blood foam, his voice was dry and hoarse, as if his throat had just been burned by a fire, he squeezed out a smile with great difficulty, and in turn comforted the other party: "Don't worry, I'm still alive." β
Alan squatted on the ground, behind his back was still the rough wooden bow that looked ordinary, but in fact it was terrifying, and he began to explain to Gu Xuan: "That black panther ran away, Adam ate its flesh before, I don't know if it was poisoned or what's wrong, in short, it doesn't seem to be able to move now, this is really interesting, three people, two of them have become wastes." β
Gu Xuan listened, he was not angry at all, because after the previous contact, he knew that the other party had a strong sense of vigilance in his heart, and he had a strange sense of alienation from everything in the outside world, not to mention that the other party did not take this opportunity to do anything wrong to them, or disliked them and left directly, which proves that this person is definitely worth befriending, but then again, when this kind of common tribulation, both parties will not be so stingy.
"I'm actually okay, but I'm going to have to delay it for a few days, and γγγγγγ When Gu Xuan said this, his tone suddenly became a little embarrassed, "That, I'm actually a little hungry." β
How could he not be hungry, he had been fighting for so long, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the hardest battle in his life, it was a great drain on his body, and now he was almost in a state of exhaustion, not to mention that the recovery of his body also needed food supplements, so the biggest problem that appeared in front of them at the moment was actually food.
When Alan heard this, his brows frowned slightly, but he still said: "I don't know if the panther itself is weird, or if the things here are actually weird, in short, it's better not to eat the things here for the time being, I actually have some dry food here, but I am soaked with water, and I don't dare to make a fire, so you will eat it." β
In such a strange and dangerous place, starting a fire means exposing their position, of course they don't dare to make a fire, even if everyone is wet now, they can only endure it, and dry their clothes by their own body temperature, even if it is actually very bad.
After that, he took out a few pieces of bread that had been soaked from his arms, and when Gu Xuan saw it, he immediately asked with some hesitation: "Then youγγγγγγ β
The implication is self-evident.
But he didn't want to, Alan just glanced to the side, pretending to be observing the surrounding situation, and at the same time said very flatly: "Of course I'm full, you can eat quickly, if it's broken, it will be a pity." β
Adam, who was darkened next to him, as if he had been poisoned, immediately struggled to stand up, and at the same time tried to squeeze out a smile, and said, "Let me feed him, he hurt his back and shouldn't be able to move now." β
Alan turned his head, hurriedly stretched out his hand, stopped Adam, pouted, and said, "Let me come, you better not move." β
After saying that, he moved to the front of Gu Xuan, because Gu Xuan was still lying on the ground, so he had to squat down, reach out and break the dry food that had been soaked little by little, and then hand it to Gu Xuan's mouth little by little, and Gu Xuan was not hypocritical at this time, and immediately began to chew and swallow.
Adam over there put on a slightly more comfortable posture, leaned on the cushion with the accumulated blades of grass, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said half-emotionally, half-teasingly: "I really didn't expect that one day I would fight side by side with a human race and a spirit race in this kind of place." β
Indeed, if it is outside, the Spirit Race and the Earth Race are enemies, and the Terran Race is a stranger to both sides, in fact, it is difficult for the three parties to have the opportunity to fight together, and it is this kind of complete peace of mind to hand over their backs to each other to fight.
Gu Xuan had been swallowing food hard, and he was in no mood to speak, and the bored Alan couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you two come in together, one from the Earth Clan, one from the Western Continent?" Could it be that you are here to take risks?"
Adam immediately opened his mouth and denied: "How is this possible, I don't have much desire to explore this world, for me, the life of the clan is the most important, in fact, he and I were chased and forced to flee in, but I didn't expect itγγγγγγ β
He didn't want to say any more about the rest of the words, so he could only sigh helplessly, and then changed the topic and asked Allen: "Why, listen to you, in fact, you are not here to take risks? Oh, by the way, you are an ancient spirit clan living in the Divine Tree Forest, why did you come out?"
When it came to this topic, Allen's expression subconsciously darkened, and even the feeding hand stopped, obviously a sad thing, he wanted to speak and stopped, as if he wanted to take this opportunity to tell his story, but he immediately held back, but after pursing his lips and hesitating, he still told the truth.
"Because my people have all passed away, I'm actually the last of the Spirits. β
When Adam and Gu Xuan heard this, they were shocked, because they didn't expect the other party to have such a past, and they immediately understood a series of performances after seeing each other, the simple nature was because they hadn't seen anyone outside for a long time, and the subconscious alienation and indifference were naturally caused by the defensive heart of outsiders and the alienation from the world.
If a person lives in the world, all the relatives and friends around him have left one after another, leaving him alone, at this time, does he still have a sense of belonging to this world?
Nope.
Gu Xuan's body was really painful, half of it was born with a desire for knowledge, and half of it was to divert his attention, so he didn't like to talk much, especially when he kept asking questions about other people's affairs, he couldn't help but ask: "Then later, after you walked out of the Divine Tree Forest, did you come here directly?"
Alan gave him a blank look, and for some reason, he had made up his mind to hide all his stories in his heart and no longer mention it to anyone, but he even continued to tell the story in a mysterious way: "Of course not, after I left the Divine Tree Forest, I was soon discovered by other Spirit Clansmen, and they were very excited at that time, and they kept calling me 'Lord Divine Messenger'. β
Adam couldn't help but interject next to him and explained: "Of course, it's like a person in our earth clan, who comes out of the earth temple, no matter what his identity is, he will definitely be respected by others wherever he goes." β
At this moment, Allen's face suddenly became extremely lonely and sad.
"At first, I was actually very happy, because the clansmen were all old and dead, and I didn't expect that there really were people of the same clan outside, and I could be fully accepted by them, which was indeed a happy thing for me at that time to forget my troubles for a while, at that time, I was extremely lonely, and longed for all the care from the outside world, I thought I had gotten it, and I accepted it defenselessly. β
Indeed, Allen, who has been staying in the Sacred Tree Forest, getting along with his own people day and night, and relying on each other for his life, should be very simple in nature, and when he just came to the outside world, he was so warmly entertained by his nominal fellow clansmen, he naturally let down all his guards, and reciprocated the other party with the same enthusiasm.
It's just that the end of any story is bound to be tragic, and I can only hear him continue to tell slowly: "They welcomed me back, and gave me many precious treasures, even the high priests of their empire, they were very respectful and friendly to me, and I thought that I had found a new home here, and I could have new friends and family, but unfortunatelyγγγγγγ β
Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, and turned his head away, as if he did not want to go on, and some painful memories appeared in his eyes, and that unforgettable loneliness, which was a kind of loneliness that was so big that he could not live at home.
Seeing this, Adam next to him spread his hands to his side, tilted his head, and persuaded angrily: "Say it, say it, we just experienced life and death together, I think, even if it is an old friend who has known each other for a long time, in fact, it may not be able to achieve this level, besides, if you don't tell us, who can you tell it, maybe the three of us will have to die here in the future, then we have to know each other first, you say right, ah, oh no, no, Gu, Xuan?" It's such an interesting name, I didn't think you had your own story, it really lied to me for a long time. β
Gu Xuan hurriedly explained: "Adam, I didn't mean to deceive you, it's just that I didn't dare to reveal my identity casually because I was on the ship before, since I have now told my real name, naturally I won't hide my origin anymore, in fact, it's not nice to say, the three of us, to each other, are all foreigners, and it doesn't hurt to talk about it, maybe no one in the same clan wants to listen to our story." β
The two looked at each other and smiled, there was no mustard in their hearts at all, what about hiding their identities, neither side had the slightest bad intentions for each other, Adam was willing to selflessly teach everything he knew because the other party was his friend, and Gu Xuan ran away with him to this kind of Jedi because of a promise to help him escape, is it possible to blame each other now?
