Dracula woke up, opened his eyes and saw that the room was empty, and his heart instantly cooled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He didn't know what was happening, and he couldn't figure it out with his own coarse nerves, but he felt scared, very panicked, and woke up in the same room as he thought, but this time it made him feel extremely strange, because the girl was not there, the person who was so important to him was not there.

But Dracula knew that he had fled with Fina for the night last night, but had not returned home, even though the house he was in at the moment was where he had lived for many years, and there were memories of him in every corner, but just that, it was just a photo album or something like that, and without the presence of someone who loved each other, this place was not qualified to be called home at all.

Caught up?" uneasy speculation exploded in his mind, and he quickly jumped out of bed and stumbled out of the house.

He ran wildly through the streets of town.

Where, where? He was in a mess, but who knows where the group would take Fina? He hadn't even heard of the identity of the group, he lived in this country, but he never thought that he belonged to this country, let alone take the initiative to learn about the knights. Obviously, the world has never looked at him squarely, and only Fina accepts him.

But Fina was gone, and was taken away by the so-called country to which he belonged.

Dracula wanted to see Fina, he wanted to see him so much, but he couldn't think of a way to find Fina, he could only blindly ask anyone he met on the street, the vendors and shops he frequented, the crowd of street performers, the passers-by who came and went, everyone looked at the boy blankly as if he was crazy, and when he met someone, he grabbed and asked, but no one could answer his question, they didn't know what happened yesterday, they just went about their daily life as always, where would they pay attention to the sudden increase in the number of knights in the town, and they would notice that a pair of children were hunted down all over the city yesterday。 Some people don't even know who Fina is.

"Fina, weren't you together yesterday?"

"I'm almost an adult, it's impossible to run around, maybe when you go out to buy something, you can rest assured and wait. ”

No, I don't want this meaningless answer, someone wants to take her, where did she go!

"Why catch a young child, it can't be your nightmare, right?"

"You say you're wearing armor, could it be that you're referring to the knights? No kidding, everyone knows what a nice girl Fina is, how could the knights take her away. ”

But she's gone, and yesterday I saw with my own eyes that the so-called knights were going to work against her, and we were hunted by them yesterday for a night, and this morning, Fina was gone......

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"I'm sorry, but I don't really know what happened yesterday. ”

......

Dracula gradually lost the strength to roar, this town is so big, but no matter where he goes, no matter how many people he asks, all he gets is "empty", nothing, he suddenly feels lonely, he feels that this place is so cold, not only because of the chill after the rain, everyone on the street smiles and looks at each other every day, but they still seem to be thousands of miles apart, as if everyone lives in their own world, so your world has collapsed, and who can help you?

No one can help themselves, everyone has their own home, you can only rely on yourself to protect your own home, you can't protect it well, just because you are too incompetent.

After so many years, because of Fina's presence, he has long forgotten the feeling of the first ten years, the feeling of the outside world, and the name of that feeling is strange. He once again remembered that the world was so big, no, it was the outside world, the outside world was so big, and he was just a small piece of gravel, and you ran thousands of miles, just like walking a few meters, and you couldn't find anything.

"Last night, she seemed to have walked down the street outside my house," an old and kind voice said, "I slept late last night, and in the middle of the night I heard someone singing outside, and I heard Fina sing, very similar, I should say," the other man sighed, "I don't dare to fully guarantee it, my ears are no longer good when I am old." ”

Dracula was shocked, and turned around to see an old woman sitting in front of the window of the shop, squinting at him, this old man he was familiar with, it was a place they frequented, and Dracula had bought something here yesterday.

"Mother-in-law, are you serious?" asked Dracula, leaning against the window, anxiously.

"I guess I heard it right, I don't think I heard it right, I don't have anyone else in the house, it's quite quiet, so I can hear that voice relatively clearly," the old woman looked back on last night, "I can't make out what I'm singing, but it sounds familiar, it seems to be the one that Fina often sings." ”

Dracula thought of that song instantly, and Fina had only sung that one, and he had always listened to her, so he was very familiar with it, and he gradually memorized the lyrics and melody.

"What color is I in your eyes?" (1)

He hummed involuntarily.

"Yes, that's what it sounds like," the old woman nodded repeatedly, "and an old man like me thinks it's good, but it just sounds pitiful." ”

"Poor ......" Dracula was ignorant of the meaning of the old woman's words, and even if he was as rough as he was, he felt that the song sometimes listened to tenderness, sometimes sad listening, "Does the mother-in-law know anything?"

"I didn't think much of it last night, and soon fell asleep," the woman leaned out slightly, pointing in one direction, "If I'm not mistaken, I think she's going that way, but it may also be the delusion of an old man, after all, the ears are gone, but I still feel that the sound is disappearing that way." ”

"Over there?" Dracula looked into the distance, and in the distance he could see the outline of a tall building, which was not the building in the town.

"There's a big city over there, adjacent to our town, and it's said that there are a large number of knights and some big men parked over there, of course, it's all hearsay, and I know it as an old man, but it shouldn't be wrong that it's the knights' camp over there," said the old woman, "and since a few years ago, it seems that something has been planned over there, and one day many years ago, it was raining, and a large number of knights lined up through the town, dragging two gorgeous sedan chairs, and I don't know what noble figures sat in them. ”

Yes, it was there, Dracula looked into the distance, thinking to himself, that place was the gathering place of the group, did they really bring Fina to that place?

"Don't do anything stupid, child," the old woman said earnestly when she saw the expression on Dracula's face, vaguely feeling that there was something hidden, "Fina and you are both good boys." ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law, by the way, can you forgive me for a few more days for the money I owed you last time," Dracula scratched his head and said, "I'm looking for Fina, and I can only get the money to pay you back if I bring her back...... Right now, I have something very important that I have to do. With Fina's help, he is now able to communicate with people as normally as ordinary people.

But if it weren't for Fina, I would still be the bad boy who everyone calls and loaths. He thought to himself.

"Is Fina really gone? I guess I don't have time to tell you something, so I'll go and solve it," the old woman smiled and looked at Dracula, "Dracula, don't worry, she'll be back, sooner or later people will have to go back to their homes." ”

Dracula was stunned, "Yes, this is her home, she will go home, we don't have anyone, it's not home." ”

--------------

When Dracula returned to the hut, his stomach had already protested, and he ran out of the door early in the morning, and ran around the whole town for a long, long time, because the anxiety and panic about Fina's whereabouts made him ignore the hunger in his belly, and the moment he stepped into the door, the little ghost in his stomach began to scream.

He clutched his stomach and entered the room, and suddenly asked about the familiar scent, as if his nerves had been stimulated by electricity, but there was still an empty house with no one in his vision.

He followed the faint aroma to find the source of the smell, which was the food in the heat of the house, which he did not notice in the morning, and the food had been kept warm until now, and the fragrance had not been fixed in the closed pot, and had not completely faded.

Dracula tasted it, it was the taste that made him want to cry, it was Fina's craftsmanship. He took another bite, and tears came out, and he took the bowl out of the pot that was used to keep him warm, and ate it in large gulps, wanting to taste and remember it carefully, and he had always eaten Fina's meal, and now felt that it tasted as if it were the most delicious in the world.

Fina, until the end, was still thinking about him, afraid that he would wake up hungry the next day.

Dracula is relieved to eat an empty rice bowl, with tears and rice residues on his face, and he looks ugly like a young child who has been wronged.

At this time, he calmed down a little, observing the changes in the room, he saw the place where the books were placed, and an awkward feeling rose, there was something missing, Fina disappeared, and some of the things that were placed there were also gone, were they snatched away by the group of people? What was it? What did those people want?

Dracula walked to the desk and saw a simple bound book placed on the table and spread out, as if someone had just read it, it was in the past, Fina's first gift to Dracula was Dracula's most precious thing, and now this book has long been written, every page is densely packed, and the words in it record the memories of the two.

He reached out and touched the notebook, and found that the folded pages had wet marks, as if someone had dripped water on it, this notebook had been treated badly in the hands of others, and had been ravaged and thrown into puddles of water, and those marks had faded, but they were still on it, but the water stains were new marks, and although they had dried at the moment, some traces of symbolism could still be seen.

Someone looked through this notebook, and there were a few water stains left on it.

"Gift ......" Dracula said silently, he was stunned, and suddenly remembered that it was Fina's birthday in a few days, since they were each other's family, the two set that important night as a birthday together, and after they met, they were born a new life, and they wanted to celebrate it together, and at this time of year, Dracula would find odd jobs a few days in advance to earn money to buy gifts for Fina, but now he didn't have the heart to find odd jobs, and that person was not there.

Fina seems to have been telling him not to rummage through the bottom of her books, for unknown reasons. Thinking of this, Dracula's curiosity suddenly came up, and now that Fina was gone, he desperately wanted to know what was down there.

He rummaged through and didn't find anything, except for a large number of novels, only a few books that hastily recorded things, their family was not very rich, books were not always affordable, many times, it was Fina who borrowed others and copied them word by word to the self-made book.

Dracula looked at the content on it, with his current knowledge, he couldn't understand what was written on it very well, it seemed to record magic and something like that, although it was boring and difficult to understand, he still saw something in it, it was a description that surprised him.

"What is this? It feels dangerous...... Dracula frowned, "she really reads everything, by the way, hasn't she ever read a book about learning magic? ”
