A few days later. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hurry up, pack up your stuff as soon as possible, and move on to the next town. Skag shouted orders to all the knights in the rear.

"Oh-" He was answered by the equally loud cries of the knights.

Until today, the second supply force led by Skag finally ended its stationing and mission in the Reimlin area, and all the things and clothes assigned to the Reimlin area were distributed under the serious work attitude of the knights, during which the original situation of people starving to death every day has completely disappeared, and the supply troops who have completed the task must also move to the next destination.

The only annoying thing is that the heavy snowfall that has continued for an unknown number of days shows no signs of stopping, and the cold is with everyone, and the road ahead is still bumpy.

"Leader, according to the map, the next destination is a small village nestled on the mountainside, Virki, should you go now?" said one of the knights, spreading out the map beside Skag.

"On the mountain," sighed Skag, "it should be difficult to move forward on the mountain in the snow, so let everyone set out when they are ready, and speed up the march before the snow has fallen." ”

"Yes. The knight took the order and ran towards the rear of the convoy.

Skag took the bottle from his bosom and wanted to take another sip before leaving, but the light mass on the bottle told him that there was not much left.

"Really, I don't even have any alcohol, and the road ahead is even harder. He reluctantly stuffed the bottle back and grumbled, and then saw Rhine on the side, who leaned against the wall without saying a word, turned his head away, and silently looked in the direction of the town of Reimlin, which was the western edge of Reimlin, and the troops were about to advance in the opposite direction.

"It's not a good thing to be lazy, everyone is working hard to prepare. Skag walked over to Rhine.

"My part has been cleaned up. ”

"Oh, that's quick," said Skag, "what's the matter, look at you like that, what else do you want to be nostalgic for?"

"How could I possibly have something to be nostalgic for," Rhine said, but his gaze remained unfocused, "and it's not that you don't know my character. ”

"Yes, I know your character," said Skag, "but I also know that you are human, and that man is not a puppet, and that a puppet has no heart, so it has no expression, but that man has a heart, so that a person's heart can be seen entirely from his face, even if that person wears a mask all the time." ”

"What do you want to say?"

"I didn't want to say anything, it's just," Skag patted Rhein on the shoulder, "you've been behaving strangely these days, always leaving alone during dinner, and I'm thinking that something must have happened to you, and if there's anything left unresolved, hurry up, it's almost time to leave." ”

"Yes," Rhine sighed softly, "it's not a good time to leave on such a cold day." ”

――――――――――――

Rhine stopped outside the house, a sense of disobedience came to his mind, the door was empty all around, the girl with the cherry hair didn't sit on the steps of the door today for some reason, was it too cold, no, the snow was not as big as at other times, it should be her sister who woke up, it seems that her physical condition has improved.

He walked to the door, about to reach out and knock on the door, and when he put his hand out of his coat pocket, the withered petals were brought out and fell limply to the ground.

Withered petals...... Fall......

Rhine picked up the petals and put them in his pocket, a strange sense of uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart, it came very suddenly, he pushed the door directly, there was no cherry color in the room, only the woman lying on the bed, the woman's skin was already pale and the same color as snow, and the emaciated skin clearly revealed the outline of the bones, as if it was about to be attached to it.

That frightening look made Rhine stunned for a moment, he didn't understand medicine, but he could also see that the woman's body had reached its limit, and she must have been enduring the illness in her body all along. Rhine walked to the woman's side, helped her up, and the touch passed from the woman's body stimulated Rhine's palm.

"How did you become like this?" asked Rhine.

The woman's eyes were closed, and the frequency of wheezing was lower than that of ordinary people, and after a moment, she opened her eyes slightly, and was silent for a moment, as if to confirm the person in front of her, "Yes, is it Mr. Rhine?"

Rhine nodded.

"Can I ask you, please do one thing," said the woman, "go, go to my sister." ”

"What's going on?"

"I can't do it anymore, originally, I thought I could hold on until the heavy snow passed," the woman's gasping frequency decreased a few points, "but it seems that it really can't work, my sister and she, think that as long as there are more, that kind of flower, it can make me better," the woman suddenly coughed violently a few times, and blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth, "This disease was there before I met her, and it can't be cured." She looked at Rhine with that godless gaze.

Rhine didn't know if there was a way to cure a woman in the imperial capital, and the woman said that she was sick before she met Attalani, maybe it was related to some ** weapons developed in the daylight world during the war, but he knew that there was no way to rely on the medical level of the supply troops here.

A woman's life is irretrievable.

"Probably. He hesitated, then spoke.

"I told her that this flower can support me to live, but in fact, the cherry blossom that can support me to live is no longer this real flower, it is the child," the woman stretched out her hand, wanting to get the pot of flowers beside her, but she tried to reach out, but she still couldn't reach it, Rhine helped her pick up the flower, "Mr. Rhine, thank you for your help these days, I have nothing to repay you, so I will give you this flower, please promise me, surely, I must go and find that child." The woman continued, tears suddenly flashing in her eyes, "I apologize to her on my behalf, I failed to fulfill the agreement, I couldn't show her more cherry blossoms......" The woman said, her body suddenly went limp, and she couldn't continue to talk any more.

In this chaotic world, another person who was tormented by fate disappeared, this person was the same as her sister, they didn't need any food, all they wanted was someone to accompany them to see the flowers.

Rhine hugged the pot of flowers, closed the woman's eyes, and stood up, "It seems that the troops will have to wait a little longer." ”
