Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Sigh on the Edge of the Sea of Trees

Suzu walked to Sara's side, sat on the ground next to the rocking chair, pressed her hands on the grass behind her, with her arms as the fulcrum, the weight on her body was pressed, she supported her body and looked at the night sky, the black and blue sky was like the waves of the deep sea, the silence was deep, and the shining stars were like lantern fish flying in the sky.

"Why did you come out and not rest for a while?" asked Sharo.

"Why do you sit outside all the time," Suzu asked, "The night sky here is really beautiful, but it's lonely for you to sit here alone and watch the sky." She pouted.

"It's just a matter of getting used to it, living alone in this verdant border, sometimes you really don't know what to do, you don't know where to go next, this is a sea of trees, it's a vast forest, it's a beautiful place, it stands to reason that you won't be bored living in such a place, right, after all, it's so beautiful, but ah, it's because it's full of trees, so the scenery is the same, a lot of things are actually like this, you might be fascinated the first time you go to see it, you go to see it a second time, a third time, until you see it countless times, and among these countless times, there is always a time when you will get bored。 No one cares about it here, so no one accompanies you, so even the most beautiful scenery is fixed for you," said Sharo, "and no matter how beautiful things are, if there is no one with you to enjoy them, you will feel bored." But the night sky is different, it's like an infinitely changing picture, today you will find that the stars are lit up, tomorrow you will find that yesterday's stars are all gone, every day is different, it is fluid, it changes, it is not fixed. ”

Suzu listened to Sharo's words, a flickering picture appeared in his mind, in the empty mountains, a person aimlessly shuttled through the world of trees, he couldn't find a way out, he could only keep groping here, sighing at the beauty of this place while being sad, because he found that even if he walked again, he couldn't find the end of the road, but he could only go down, step after step, and finally he couldn't go on, he didn't want to go, this long road was always him alone, if someone worked hard with him, maybe he would persevere, but here he was alone, he couldn't go down because there was no one to accompany himIf you live alone in this place, you won't even find the point of going on.

Because, even if he really goes out, he doesn't even have someone to share the good things with, so it doesn't even matter if there is an exit or not.

In the flow of countless hours, was she alone from beginning to end? sitting in this rocking chair, watching alone at the night sky, day after day, year after year, watching the stars change and the clouds flow. Suzu thought to herself.

"Wouldn't it be nice to get out of here, to make up for the fact that you live in this place, to go to a lively place, to go to a bustling big city," Suzu said to Sara, "You live in a big city, you can live a different life every day, today you can go to the neighbors for tea and chat, and tomorrow you can go to the city with other three or two, so that you won't be bored anymore, at least it's better than here." ”

"Suzu," said Sharo, "how much do you know about the history of the Moonlit Nights?" ”

Suzu scratched her head, confused, and she blinked her eyes and passed her eyes to Sara, indicating that she was a little confused about this sudden turn of God.

"I used to be a knight, and I also experienced wars, twenty years ago, thirty years ago, maybe I can't remember the specific timing, but I still remember the battlefield watered with blood, you know, a few decades ago, there was such a war, such a sacrifice to harvest life and suck blood, in this beautiful and prosperous continent today, miserable stage. The smoke of gunfire filled almost all places at that time, and under the fire, countless casualties were inflicted. Sharo narrates, she speaks to Suzu about the cruel reality of the past.

"Is it the war that revolves around the book of Revelation?" Suzu swallowed nervously, the word war is the most sensitive word for anyone, it represents shedding blood and welcoming death, and it also deeply stimulates the most fragile fear of the human heart, "I have heard others say this, but I don't have a specific concept of this. ”

"Yes, I wish I had just had no idea about the war, just like you, and only knew the extent of it. I witnessed the smoke and gas of the war, and I saw one person after another die in front of me, but I survived to the end. Weak people can't survive on the battlefield, since it's a battlefield, there will inevitably be lives, I know all this, but, I still can't fully accept it, can you understand that feeling, the people you know left from your side one after another, obviously not long ago they were standing side by side with everything, but suddenly disappeared, you haven't come out of the shadow of the death of the previous person, the new bad news has already reached your ears, you can't catch the shadow of life passing away at all. The battlefield is like this, obviously I don't want to see those people die, but you still keep rushing forward, you can only step on their corpses and can't stop for their deaths, and then more people will die, and finally everyone is gone, but you are the only one left standing alone on the ground full of corpses and crying. Sharo said.

She let out a deep sigh into the night sky, a sigh that seemed to sigh for decades of sorrow.

"It's cruel. Suzu whispered, hugging her knees and burying her head in her arms, as if she could hear the cry of great sorrow hovering over the bloody battlefield, and then crossing time and echoing in her ears with the wind. She subconsciously tightened her sleeves, and after the magic was activated, she was more sensitive than ever.

"I left the city and chose to stay in this place, away from the fireworks of the city, maybe because I was afraid, afraid to stand on that land again, under this prosperous continent, the bones of countless people are buried, and those people I once knew, without exception, have become one of them. "Sharo said," I once walked on the streets of the city, the atmosphere around me was so lively, I couldn't be happy, because I knew deep in my heart that every step I took was stepping on the bones of my friends, even if the war was over, they would still be trampled underfoot, forever and ever, thinking of this, I felt uncomfortable, and I felt more and more that I was alone, I was not suitable for here, and I was not allowed to set foot on this land filled with the bones of my friends, the more hot the outside world was, the more I felt that the ground under my feet was cold and biting, as if there were countless souls awakening inside, they were sealed, so I could only wail, and only I could hearBecause I am the only one who survived. ”

The night breeze suddenly became cold, the bell shivered, and the soles of her feet seemed to be a little cold.
