"Is it that serious, I'm just kidding," Jude looked at the girl's serious apology, "It's really not messy, I didn't lie to you." ”

At the same time, the young man reminded with a smile: "By the way, the movement of my hand has stopped." ”

"Ah, yes, I'm sorry......" Mejia lowered her head and continued her bandaging with some haste in a hurry, "distracted by talking...... Sure enough, I still can't. ”

“...... Is it wrapped too tightly?" the girl's movements were still as slow and hesitant as before.

"It's fine. ”

"If it hurts, please say it right away. ”

"Hmm. ”

Jude looked at the cowardly and gentle Mexia, the daughter of Icks and Hamilo, the daughter of his enemies, but he could not hold negative feelings towards the girl in any way.

Perhaps because of this gang of robbers, only Mejia is a simple and kind existence.

Over the years, I have grown up with her, communicating with each other, accompanying each other, and comforting each other.

"Alright, the bandaging is done. With a delicate bow, the girl looked very happy.

"Thank you. ”

"No...... "I'm the one who should be thanked," Mejia quickly defended, "and I'm glad I could help Mr. Roy with a request." ”

Looking at the gentle and sincere smile on the girl's face, Jude was a little stunned for a moment.

"I can't understand the reason for being thanked at all. The boy told the truth.

"It's good that Mr. Roy can come here...... It would be nice to have a chat with me...... If you can help me......"

Seeing that Mexia hurriedly explained, Jude could only confirm one thing, and from that smile, he could clearly see the girl's joy.

Only in this hut can Jude experience a rare level of comfort and relaxation, and he doesn't even want to leave it for a while, but there is still a long way to go.

"Alas. Thinking back on those blood debts in the past, the young man couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this scene, Mexia immediately showed a panicked look: "What, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing. Inadvertently causing trouble to the girl, Jude hastened to explain.

“...... Is it me, what did I say, rude?"

"No," Jude considered his words, "it's just that if I stay here, I'm going to be unable to move." ”

"Will it become, can't you move......?" the girl looked confused.

"What did I say," the boy shook his head with a wry smile, "Mehia......"

Just as he was about to explain, the scene suddenly dissipated, and Jude realized that he was dreaming again.

Vaguely sensing that someone was feeding himself some kind of bitter liquid, the boy tried to open his eyes but could not see anything, and there was only a deep void in his vision.

The previous dream was strange, he had never experienced those scenes, Jude struggled to think with a small amount of lucid consciousness, and he was called Mr. Roy, but who was Roy?

Although he tried to ponder these questions, his consciousness soon became blurry again, and he fell into a deep sleep again before long.

-

Familiar cottages, clean and tidy, comfortable and relaxing.

"What's the matter, why are you sighing?" asked Jude as he turned to the girl sitting on the edge of the bed across from him.

"Ah, I'm sorry......"

"No need to apologize. Looking at Mexia's panicked appearance, the boy smiled bitterly, and at the same time felt a warmth flowing through his chest.

"Mejia is really different from anyone else here. Jude was quite emotional, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Eh, ...... mean?"

Only then did the boy realize that he had inadvertently spoken his thoughts, so he had to continue to explain: "Looting or killing, Mexia hates those destructive things, right?"

“...... Yes," the girl looked a little lost, "I often wonder if I got the wrong place of birth or something......

"If possible...... I really want to live in a quiet village. ”

Jude stared into Mejia's eyes, and the genuine longing in the girl's eyes was clearly visible, but then she laughed awkwardly, "Even then, there is no way to change it......

From that smile, Jude clearly saw a kind of sadness, a kind of helpless self-mockery for good wishes.

"I'm sorry for saying something strange. Mexia bowed her head as if she had acknowledged her mistake and apologized.

The young man immediately denied: "It's not a strange thing. ”

"Thank you...... However, it is indeed strange. The girl insisted, "It's been many years, and I still haven't accepted my current life......

It's strange to be able to accept it. Jude thought to himself that he was terrified every day, that no one cared for him, that he had no one to communicate with, and that he was often beaten and tortured by his mother. It's hard for anyone to accept being bullied like this.

"What are you kidding, why does Mehia have to live in an environment full of misery?" said the young man, indignantly, "Hamilo even abuses his own daughter, and there is such a biological mother in the world?"

"'Just kidding' or something, I don't think about it anymore......" The girl's expression was still calm, "The living environment will not change, and it is useless to think about it......"

"But I'm not uncomfortable now," Mejia smiled softly, "because I'm with Mr. Roy." ”

Hearing this, Jude was a little surprised: "Can I help Mejia relieve her pain?"

"Yes, if Mr. Roy is not there, I feel miserable now. The girl smiled and replied, "Thanks to Mr. Roy, I can feel at ease......

"Alas. With mixed feelings, the boy sighed, "We can't choose the past, but we can grasp the present." ”

"I recently developed a medicine from a pharmacy note left behind by my father. Jude organized the language, "That herb was originally used to relieve pain, and I now grind the leaves into powder to purify it. This powder has a strong hallucinogenic and aphrodisiac effect, can destroy people's reason and consciousness, and is highly addictive, only one large dose can make people completely bad. Theoretically, yes. ”

“...... It's complicated," Mejia seemed to be bewildered by the boy's statement, "what is Mr. Roy going to do?"

"This powder is extremely pleasant, and I'm going to introduce it to everyone in the bandits. Jude recounted his perfect plan, "If this drug becomes popular, they will all be addicted to it, and then I will make them pay for their crimes." Blood debt must be paid in blood. ”

As he spoke, the boy clenched his fists excitedly, as if he could foresee the day when the vengeance would be avenged, and he did not notice the girl's worried look at all.

At this moment, the scene quickly changed, and Jude found himself lying in bed, and the room was pitch black, as if it was the middle of the night.

It turned out to be a dream again, but where he was, the boy couldn't help but wonder, he couldn't remember where he had fallen asleep before.

Before he could think about anything more, Jude suddenly felt unusually tired, and then his consciousness began to blur.
