Moonlight is like water.

I don't know how long time has passed, but the turtledove still listens to the worm without blinking, just now the worm said that she received a letter from the oasis not long ago, and the turtledove was about to ask the worm what kind of letter it was, when suddenly a piercing "squeak" sounded.

It turned out to be the kettle hanging on the grill, and the water in it was boiling.

So the worm stopped talking, took the kettle and poured a cup of hot water for the turtledove and himself, and the turtledove resisted his curiosity, and patiently took the teacup from the little worm's hand, - hey, don't say it, there is nothing more warm in the evening than a cup of hot water.

I couldn't wait to taste a little bit, and although the heat that came from my lips made the turtledove keep inhaling, it was also very effective in dispelling the chill that had originally permeated the turtledove's heart, and at the same time softened the turtledove's expression.

The little worm was not as anxious as the turtle dove, she planned to wait for the hot water to cool down before drinking, and while the hot water was cooling, the little worm continued to tell her story from the above words.

……

Ever since Himmler usurped power and became the leader of the Wings of Liberty and killed Worm's father, Worm has been taken by Galahad and wandered all over the world, and after many years, Worm is almost forgetting what was before, until one day, she receives a strange letter.

Galahad was not at home at the time, and the worm heard what seemed to be movement outside the door, and she opened the door and looked out, and there was no one, and then looked farther away, only to see a vague figure flickering, and then completely disappeared into the crowd in the distance, and was no longer visible.

When she returned to the house, she looked down at the ground, but found an empty envelope, tore open the envelope, and the insect poured out a small piece of paper from the envelope, about two fingers wide, with six words neatly written on it:

"Your father is still alive."

These six words really shocked the worm, she thought it was someone's prank at first, but she could use her toes to think that it was unlikely, who would be idle like this, and joke with the worm about this kind of thing.

Only Galahad knew the identity of the worm, and she didn't believe that Galahad would be so boring, but it was impossible for anyone else to know that she was hiding here except for Galahad, so the worm was really puzzled at this moment.

Eventually, the worm pondered, "Is his father really alive?"

To be honest, Worm's impression of her father had been frozen many years ago, when Worm was still very young, and after so many years, Worm's impression of her father had long been blurred in Worm's mind.

However, the short six words on this letter instantly made something in the depths of the worm's memory resurface.

Later that day, the worm handed the letter to Galahad, who had returned from an outing, and Galahad pinched the small piece of paper and looked at it again and again, and did not comment on the contents of the piece of paper for the first time, but frowned and said, "Papyrus? ”

The worm doesn't understand what "papyrus" is.

"The so-called 'papyrus' is paper made from papyrus in a simple process," Galahad explained to the worm, "and papyrus grows on the edge of the lawless and barren lands, where there are many swamps, which are very suitable for the growth of papyrus, and the natives use it to make cheap but shoddy papyrus to replace the expensive real paper." ”

"You haven't been there, you don't know, outside the New Empire, the value of paper is still quite high, the more remote the place, the more so, like this papyrus, most likely from the oasis, this is probably the hidden message in this letter."

With that, Galahad gently placed the small piece of paper on the table and fell into deep thought.

"So, is what the letter says true?"

After a long moment's hesitation, the worm mustered up the courage to ask Galahad the question he was most concerned about.

"Well," Galahad shook his head, "I don't know. ”

……

"I'm going to the Oasis."

The worm stood up abruptly and said categorically.

"Nope."

Galahad's tone was equally unequivocal.

Worm's temper was already very stubborn, and the things she decided rarely changed, and at this time, Worm didn't care what Galahad's attitude was, she turned around and packed her things, and it seemed that she was going to leave for the oasis immediately.

That's pretty hard.

"Sit down for me," Garahad pressed the worm back into his chair and sat down, "and you're going to the oasis with just such a letter of unknown origin?" Don't forget that this is the new empire, and you can easily reveal your identity as soon as you go out, and there are wings of freedom watching you, so don't do anything reckless if you don't want to die. ”

Galahad thought that his momentum was enough to overwhelm the worm, even if he couldn't change the worm's mind immediately, he could make her obedient and obedient, but who knew that the worm's temper was not something he could cover as soon as it came up, and the worm actually lifted the table.

The teapot and cup fell all over the floor, the tea splashed all over Galahad's body, and the little worm who lifted the table didn't do anything else, just stood straight and straight, staring at Galahad, which made Galahad angry, and his face was red to the base of his neck.

"Why are you so disobedient!" Galahad was still barely suppressing the anger in his heart, "I didn't let you out for your own good, why didn't you listen to it, and dared to flip my table?" ”

What Worm hates to hear is that Galahad said "I'm doing this for your good", she is still in the end of puberty and still has a strong rebellious mentality, and the more Galahad said it is for her good, the more Worm thinks Galahad hates it.

Speaking of which, it seems that every adolescent treats his elders in the same way, the worm is the same with Galahad, and the turtledove is the same with Hannibal, and they all run away in anger.

Galahad a big fight with Worm because of this, and the result was that Worm really ignored Galahad's obstruction and set foot on the road to the oasis alone.

At first, the worm didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, and she was secretly happy that she was finally able to leave Galahad's "control" for a long time, walking freely on the path she wanted to walk, and the worm felt that the outside world was really interesting for the first time.

In the past, with Galahad by his side, he was always nervous and vigilant at all times, so that the little worm was not too relaxed, and he was nervous with him, but now it's okay, Galahad was so angry that he said, "I don't care about you anymore", and the little worm thought to himself, "You don't care about me".

However, as Galahad said, not long after Worm left home, he was targeted by both the New Empire and the Wings of Freedom.
