Chapter 370: The Gentle Man

"That's it, it's all ......" the old man finished, sweating profusely, as if every second he recalled about the memory of the past would at the same time break a part of his spirit, and make him tired, "the story that belongs to us, has been buried in the dust of the past, a story that no one knows.

The old man sat down in a rocking chair, holding his forehead and gasping for breath, as if a serious illness had invaded his physical strength.

Ling was sad, she thought that thousands of years ago, there was such an earth-shattering ****, that day a monster woke up, that day tens of thousands of knights gathered in a corner of the hill, everyone nested at home and did not dare to go out, listening to the sound of ghosts crying wolves outside, looking like a bloody sky. Most of them will remember that it was the knights who fought monsters in order to protect the country, and they will also know the legendary characters that came later. But I don't know what role those two legendary characters played in the past ****, the pain and helplessness on their bodies, unwilling to be confused, their tears, and their love and sadness......

And who knows and remembers?

"It's so lonely. A haze flashed in Suzu's eyes, and she murmured softly, not letting the two of them hear.

"And finally, what about Grandma Fina?" Lyle asked nervously, "how is she?"

"In order to successfully suppress the blood qi that entered my body and be controlled by me, she chose to consume her life and put it on the other side of the scale," said the old man, and when he said this, his appearance showed decadence, "In that inner world, she wanted to give my life completely to me, but I refused, divided that life force into two parts, and returned half of her ......"

The old man closed his eyes, and now time had passed, but the memory was in the deepest place in his heart, so that he could still take it out of the depths of his memory with a little clarity. He remembered the scene where the warm light tore through the hypocritical desert, the scene when Fina descended like an angel, and the fact that Fina turned her name into a combination of light and handed it to herself, yes, that was her vitality, condensed into that form.

"So she didn't die that day," said the old man, "but there was not much time left, and for the next three years, the first year, I took care of her, and watched her gradually return to the present day, and the next year we returned to the city where the cottage had been destroyed, and rebuilt our home, which was both the place where we met and the place where we made a mutual oath, and we were reluctant, and in the third and last year, it was snowing, and I watched her by the bedside, and watched her fall asleep and never wake up again. ”

"Is there only enough life left to last for three years?" said Lyle, "what kind of three years are that?"

"Three years of happiness are also three years of pain. The old man said.

"What about after that, how did you live, old man?"

"I don't know," the old man shook his head, "how could I remember that I was old before I knew it." ”

Lyle was stunned, but soon understood the old man's inconsistent words, indeed, for this old man, those things happened in a hundred years, and after his death, he continued to have more memories with the life of everyone who woke him up through the black knife, more or less light, the human brain is a disk that will automatically clean up, and those things that are unimportant and too far away are slowly difficult to remember.

But the memories with Fina are like the most important part of the disk of the old man's brain, which is forbidden to be deleted. He didn't just keep it in his head, he buried it deep in his heart.

"Yes," Lyle scratched his face, listening to this impressive story, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, and he thought to himself, whether it was comfort or encouragement, he had to say something, "Come on, old man." ”

But I think so much in my heart, sometimes when the words come to my mouth, I just can't say it, and I always feel that with my own words, I can't say anything at all. Lyle muttered to himself what he was talking about.

Obviously, I know the feelings of the elderly best.

"I believe," Suzu suddenly spoke, Lyle looked at him, his eyes were more expectant than surprised, he knew that Suzu was better at talking than himself, "Grandpa Dracula, he must have been strong and brave in life since then, even if he encountered many new ups and downs, he has worked hard to overcome them, because I think, you believe in it, I believe in Grandma Fina, and you have always been by your side," she gently covered her chest, as if holding her sincerity to show, "I am also willing to believe in this." She smiled, like a gentle wind, like a bright light.

The old man named Dracula was stunned the moment he saw that smile, and there was an imperceptible splash in his eyes.

It's like, he said in his heart, it's like seeing you in the past, she is your stand-in, came to tell me all this, hundreds of years after you died, you have been watching me somewhere, and now let this girl who laughs so much like you, come and tell me what you want to say to me for you.

"Yes, Dracula Plath, the name, with Grandma Fina's heart, and Grandpa said, brave, strong," Lyle was happy, and continued, "no longer look at the sky with dull eyes, go out of the dark alleys, and face the world without fear." He smiled and stretched out his fist to the old man, facing each other.

Yes, out of that dark alley, and so am I, out of that dark corner.

"This name ......" The old man also stretched out his hands, his left hand in the palm of his right hand, and then he clenched his right hand tightly, as if he were holding his name in his hand. He slammed his fist at Lyle's fist, and the two men who knew how lonely and strong they were at the moment.

"I'm a little tired," the old man smiled faintly, "why do I want to keep my consciousness in this knife, I can tell you everything now, but today I want to rest alone, or, sleep a little." ”

Suzu sighed, although the smile was shallow, but there was indeed a feeling of relief.

"I see, tomorrow night, we're going to a feast, maybe it's a fight," said Lyle, and we made a pact fist to fist, "whatever we will face, we will win, and the old man will tell me what you want to say, when I bring back the good news of victory, and we will sit here again, and look at the night sky while we raise our glasses." ”

"The night sky a hundred years ago was incredible. He added.

"Some to drink and some to eat, then be sure to take me!" Suzu raised her hand.

"Well, I've had no real agreement with anyone for decades, or hundreds of years," said the old man, "Well, although I'm old and have a poor memory, I won't forget this agreement." ”

---------

Lyle descended the tower with the bell and tried to walk through the courtyard.

"Would you like to see that place again," Suzu asked, "at the edge of the woods, where you can sit down and see the flock of birds at the top of the tower." ”

"Since then, I've always subconsciously avoided there, because I feel that what used to be a place of happiness has become something that only makes me sad," Lyle nodded, "I haven't seen a place in ten years, and I want to take a good look at it again, and write it all down, even the location of every bunch of flowers and plants, and the footprints left by every bunch of deer stepping on the dirt, it may be an exaggeration to say this, but I think when I see her again, I can continue to think about this nostalgic place with her." ”

"I see," Suzu pushed Lyle on the back, "then you go, make sure to see that every detail is unforgettable, I won't follow." ”

"Aren't you coming?" asked Lyle.

"You're stupid," Ling stroked her forehead, "what you're going to see now is the memories that belong to the two of you, then I, as a bystander, should stay silently and keep silent, and when everything is settled, we can go to that place together and create new memories," she said, "I'll go together then, because then it's the memories of the three of you, and I need to deepen my relationship and communication with my future sister-in-law or something." ”

"Okay, good, what you said is right, I listen to you. Lyle responded, and walked alone to the backyard door.

He pushed open the gate and stood less than four or five meters from the edge of the woods, standing quietly, watching, and smiling.

"After all these years, I'm finally back here," he said, facing no one in front of him, but in his eyes, there was a girl's shadow sitting there, smiling at him, her hair bright red, "I'm waiting for you today, sister." ”

----------

While waiting for Lyle, Suzu spun around in the courtyard, admiring the beautiful scenery of the courtyard, and felt like she was walking in a painting.

"Hey, come here. ”

Suzu was stunned for a moment, suspecting that she was having auditory hallucinations.

"Here, turn to the right. But a voice continued to speak in her ear.

It's a nice, woman's voice, soft and warm like the sun and the breeze.

The voice sounded too suddenly, so Suzu was stunned for a moment, but soon she was relieved of the apprehension in her heart, and she couldn't tell the reason, the voice seemed to have a magic called intimacy, which made her feel that the owner of the voice was definitely not a bad person or something suspicious, she was a good person, her friend or family.

It's not demagogic and suggestive, like the intimacy that comes from the blood connection. Suzu even thought of her grandfather for a moment, when her grandfather kindly called her by her nickname.

Let yourself and can't help but run to the man's side.

"Who?" Suzu turned to the right as the man had said, unguarded, and walked down an open-air corridor where vines entwined the pillars.

At the end of the hallway, a beautiful and slender figure was standing, looking at Suzu, with the most beautiful smile on her face, dressed in a white and immaculate white dress, and her long black hair floating in the air, reminding Suzu of her sister's hair.

The woman seemed to have just woken up, with a hazy look in her eyes, but she was still there waiting for her to pass.

"Come closer," the woman said to the bell, as close as an older sister trying to hug her sister, "let me take a good look at you." ”

Suzu didn't feel scared or strange either, and accepted everything about the woman from the first moment in her heart, and she obediently walked over and let the woman hug her like that.

"Gentle smell ......," Suzu muttered, and she shrunk into the woman's arms, feeling like the child was being held by her mother, which made her reluctant to leave.

"He seems to be a good boy who is strong and cares about people, well, a beautiful girl," said the woman, stroking Suzu's head, "and talk to me for a while." ”

Suzu was in the woman's arms and moved her head up and down.

"Where to start, let me think, let me think," said the woman, "so let me teach you how to sing a song, I don't know if you will like it." ”
