Chapter 462: Lonely Sky (9)
"I'm not cold. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info "Sora was a little nervous to go down the scarf and wanted to hand it back, but the tall man didn't take it.
"It's not like a fire pit with a straw mat, and if I get sick, I'll be blamed by the bearded man, and you'll be his treasure," said the tall man, "or you go back to bed now, and if anything happens again, I may not be in your mind at the same time." ”
Will there be any danger? Hollow wondered, if it was those beasts, it would not be a problem for Empty to see the power of men, but even so, men still tense their nerves every night to keep on guard, as if they were not a convoy of goods, but barracks stationed on the front line on the battlefield, death, war, every minute and every second.
"If I had the ability to protect myself, and if I could protect you, wouldn't I have been a trouble for you?" The begging and grievances in the empty words entered the ears of the tall man, and a sour feeling of discomfort swirled in his heart.
"If everybody could put on a pitiful face like you and say what they wanted, then the world probably wouldn't be so bad," the tall man grumbled, "and went back to sleep." "He's still holding on to his stubbornness.
He is not the only one who can persevere.
"I'm just, just trying to help you as much as I can. The tall man seemed to hear sobbing.
"Why do you have to pester me to be so persistent in this kind of thing. The tall man frowned, smacked his lips uncontrollably, and his five fingers tapped the snow beneath him with a muffled sound.
"I, I don't want to be protected by you like just a cargo, I don't want to be useless to you," Sora bowed his head, "I really, want to be able to help you." ”
"To be able to do nothing, just lazily waiting there to enjoy the service of others, what's wrong with this life, I heard that you used to live in a rich house kid, so in the books you read, do you talk about those fictional emperors and princes or something, about them nesting in chairs all day and all night, opening their mouths when they are hungry for people to feed, reaching out for people to dress when they are cold, helping people to get dressed when they are sleepy, and helping them to the bed when they are sleepy, and someone standing next to them to fan the wind when it is hot, "The tall man gestured," Those who wield weapons like me are just hard labor for them, and you are good, some of them are not enjoyed, and you have to pester me to learn these thankless things. ”
Empty mind can't help but rush through the memories of the past, although there is a stimulating gap in his memory, but from time to time there will be familiar pictures flashing, he can vaguely remember a luxurious hall, he feels happy in that mansion, not because he lives in the mansion, just that in that house, there are a man and a woman close to him, no matter how big and empty the place does not seem lonely.
He fantasized that the sky was no longer covered by gray clouds, and that he was back to the starry clear sky, and it was under that night sky that he had followed the tall back of a man, carrying a horse and a bow and arrows in the woods outside the city, and he rode his beloved pony to try to follow the horse and the man in front of him, watching the man gallop while the bowstring fluttered, and the fast-moving pheasants and hares all fell to the ground with arrows. Suddenly an unexpected beast rushed out, his pony was frightened, in a panic he was shaken to the ground, he was stared at by the beast, he was helpless and could only be frightened in place, and then the man rushed quickly, nimble bow and galloping momentum to drive away the attacking beast, and with the opposite of tenderness and love, he held him on his horse and hugged him tightly in his arms.
He felt no more fear.
"I don't know, I just think it's as if someone has told me before, not everyone will be so good to you, when you are left hungry on the street, and you can't walk," Sora tilted his head and thought about the past, "the only ones who will hand you food and pay you up, are your best friends, lovers who love you, and family members who value you, and he told me that when I clearly recognize those people around me, I must cherish them." ”
The tall man's palm clenched the spear suddenly forced, and his thumb slashed vigorously over the bloodstains.
"I seem to understand a little bit now," Sora continued, "and if someone is willing to be nice to me, I must want to be nice to them." ”
The tall man didn't answer immediately, he was afraid that he was really annoying the other party, so he didn't dare to say more for a while, he tentatively glanced at the slight side of his face, and all he saw was the tall man's resolute side face, which was serious and silent in the cold wind, and the corners of his mouth were imperceptibly pursed.
"Did I annoy you?" said Sora, with nervousness in his tone.
"Yes, it's a little," said the tall man, "but I think that there were people in the past, like you now, who begged in all kinds of ways, and let me teach him how to use weapons in battle," he paused, and said as if self-deprecatingly, "but at that time, where did I know what teaching was, where I could explain clearly, and how to really wield a weapon." ”
"Your brother?" asked Sora, guessing.
"That bearded man has enough mouths," the tall man smacked his lips clearly and shrunk his empty shoulders, "it doesn't matter who it is to you, and I have no reason to tell outsiders about my own business." ”
Sora let out a disappointed "oh", and the atmosphere returned to silence for a while.
But it was only for a short while, and the tall man took the initiative to speak again, and he couldn't help but look up at him, his eyes full of surprise.
"It is true that I killed my brother, I should not have taught him how to use this spear, his reckless and proud temperament is the same as mine, I have just qualified to join the Knights, when I told my brother the news of my qualification, I completely showed excessive pride and complacency, so that when my brother begged me to teach him out of curiosity and envy, I didn't care about the consequences and agreed, but I could only show him how to swing the moves I had just learned, but I didn't think to let him understand that weapons are not something that anyone can use casually, "The tall man threw his head back, the back of his head resting against the stump, and the hot breath he exhaled as he sighed immediately turned into a white mist in the cold winter," At that time, where our hometown was located, there was a camp of local bandits, and the outbreak of the war made them even more rampant and wanton in their original evil, and our parents were killed by them, which is why I originally wanted to become a knight, my brother had no desire to revenge, he held his brother's idea that he was a veritable name, and at the same time he held himself and learned a powerful trick, while I was still complacent and intoxicated, he rushed into the camp of the robbers alone, and when I got the news and rushed there, I saw the body of my brother who had been thrown outside the camp。 ”
In the darkness of the night, the sound of the tall man clutching his spear was so clearly audible. The shadow's side exuded an oppressive fierceness, and in the place where he couldn't see, his face turned sideways, his teeth creaked hard, and tears slipped impatiently.
"I, I will never do too many out-of-the-ordinary things, I just want to learn from you, I will abide by your requests, and I will definitely not touch anything you don't let me do," Sora immediately spoke, but when he saw the tall man's overflowing sadness, he felt guilty again, and his small body retracted, no matter how stupid a person could smell the atmosphere at the moment, he felt that he could no longer continue to make willful demands, "If it really doesn't work, then let me continue to help you move the prey, that's what I can do." ”
"Then you swear, at any time, don't throw away your only little life," said the tall man suddenly, "if you really value those who you think are precious to them, don't die because of them, no one wants to see you die for them, they just want you to live well forever and live by their side." ”
The tall man covered his eyes, he wanted to say that he had seen too much, he had met too much, those various figures flashed in his blurred eyes one by one, they were all the important family members in his heart, whether they were related to him or not, whether they were the younger brother who was dependent on each other at the beginning, or the group of people who were still dependent on each other later, saying that they had been, but because they were now, none of them could be seen.
"I swear. Sora said firmly.
"Okay, then I'll teach you. ”
