That is, until he was in a car accident on the way home from a job search after graduation.
He came into this world when he opened his eyes again after that car accident. At first he had thought it was a dream, but that thought disappeared after a few months.
He misses his parents, friends, and the life he once had. So he was a little resistant to his parents in this world at first. But fortunately, Lynch is still called Lynch in this world.
So in the eyes of his parents, Lynch was a taciturn child who was reluctant to speak even when he learned to speak.
But as time slowly passed, Lynch slowly accepted all this. After all, the past life can only be used as a memory. He is adjusting to his new life, learning a new language, and looking forward to the future. He also gradually integrated into the world, as a somewhat special child.
The flames in front of him were so real that he had to endure the pain of losing his loved ones once again.
The flames burned out, and the Lynch's house was a mess, with two more piles of ashes. These two piles of ashes may remain in this hut forever, and a place in the vicinity may not be approached for a long time.
The young man by the ashes stretched and turned to leave.
"What about this little kid?" the girl with the hood stopped him, and Lynch, who was beside the girl, looked expressionless, which made her a little worried.
"What about this little child?" the young man repeated the girl's words, a little incredulous: "Just find a random family and hand him over to them, and I will continue to work, and don't let ordinary people waste our time, Lord Successor." β
"Hand over the hedrons, this isn't your thing. β
The young man's face became a little ugly, and he stared at the girl, unmoved by the girl's beautiful face: "This is my trophy." β
"It's mine. The girl's tone did not change, as if to state a fact, and she ignored the young man's increasingly ugly face and continued: "You promised to take care of this child, and now you have to go, this thing cannot be given to you." β
The young man's ugly face suddenly disappeared, and he laughed: "I have heard of you, and I also know your name, one of the most talented successors of the new generation, grandpa is the incoming elder, okay." As he spoke, he took the hedron out of his pocket and threw it back to the girl: "I just didn't want this child's mother to become a ghost after death, I don't believe you don't know." β
Now he got up and left again, not stopped by the girl: "You are very naΓ―ve, I didn't expect it." The hedron is given to you, and you go and take care of him. This little kid was in luck. β
The warrior left at great speed, and with the ringing of bells, he quickly disappeared at the end of his vision, overwhelmed by the black mist.
The girl never replied.
She looked at Xiao Zhengtai, who was still in a daze next to her, with black hair and black eyes, just like her.
"Hey, are you still sad?" she touched Lynch's head.
In fact, Lynch was thinking back to what had happened today, almost like he was in a dream. There must be sadness, but he is not so sad that he loses his basic perception of the outside world.
He came to his senses and began to think about what he could do to keep the girl from abandoning him to an ordinary family.
The girl asked again, "How old are you?"
"Eight years old. β
"Eight years old. The girl simply crouched down so that she could look at Lynch at eye level. Lynch finally saw the girl's appearance clearly at this time. A typical oriental face, fair and delicate skin, delicate facial features, but no expression.
Of course, the girl didn't care about a child's gaze: "Did you know that the night watchman qualification test is about to take place?"
"Yes. Lynch's parents told him that the biennial eligibility test will start soon, and this is what the family is most looking forward to.
"That's good, your age is just on the passing line, and I will conduct a preliminary qualification test on you in advance. The girl pressed Lynch's shoulder: "If you don't have the qualifications to be a night watchman, I'll send you to a neighbor's house nearby, and if you have the qualifications, you can follow me, okay?"
Lynch looked at the girl's expressionless face and nodded.
Like me, I don't like to talk. The girl thought and said to Lynch, "Close your eyes." β
Lynch closed his eyes. Then he felt the girl's hand press against his eyeball.
Is this trying to poke me blind? He panicked.
Then he suddenly noticed that he could see vaguely again, as if he were using an infrared detector at night, but he didn't open his eyes. This made him a little uncomfortable.
"Can you see that?" the girl's voice was still cold.
"Yes. Lynch replied.
The girl did not speak, and motioned for Lynch to look up. Lynch knew she was testing his kid to see if he was lying.
Lynch looked up.
"Can you see anything?" asked the girl.
"The ceiling. "It's really the ceiling, nothing wrong.
......
From this perspective, Lynch couldn't see the expression on the girl's face, but he guessed that the girl was a little embarrassed.
"Don't move. The girl lifted Lynch up, moved him out of the door, and put him back firmly on the ground: "Look up again." β
Lynch looked up again.
Then he was struck by the magnificent sight. This is something he had never seen such a bright starry sky in his previous life. The starry sky he had seen before could only be described as stars dotting the night sky, but now he looked at it was completely reversed. As a city dweller, the stars in the night sky are themselves obscured by the lights of the city, and in his time, how many people would spend a lot of time and energy looking up at the unreachable starry sky?
The girl found a clue in Lynch's expression, and a faint smile appeared on her face: "Aren't you seeing black fog?"
Lynch nodded. He still held his head up, soaking in the splendor of the starry sky.
"Did you see a twinkle and a twinkleβ"
"Bright Twinkle?" Lynch replied.
"Hmm...... It's shiny and shiny, yes. That one is called a star, you can call it a star. The girl flattened Lynch's upturned head and made him look at herself. Lynch noticed that she was crouching down again.
What a nice and good girl, Lynch thought, just a little violent.
"How many stars do you see?" the girl asked him.
How many? Lynch was stunned for a moment, and I couldn't count the stars I saw.
He hesitated for a moment and pointed to the North Star he was most familiar with: "That one, forehead ......" Lynch wanted to point to a few more, but was interrupted by the girl.
The girl didn't follow the direction he was pointing, she told Lynch not to move, and then put a little more on his eyeballs.
Lynch regained normal vision, and he reopened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, a deep blue light flashed slightly.
Once again, the sky above Lynch was shrouded in black fog.
The girl noticed, which made her sure she was getting the answer she was hoping for.
She got up, plucked the lantern hanging in front of Lynch's house, motioned for him to take it, and when Lynch took the lantern, she took the spar from her pocket and handed it to him.
Lynch shook his head and refused: "This is yours." β
The girl stuffed it to Lynch and said, "It's useless for me to keep this thing, you may be useful in the future, keep it." β
Lynch had no choice but to put the hedron away.
"Come with me. The girl said as she took Lynch's hand.
This beautiful young lady seems to be very powerful, her family background doesn't seem to be ordinary, and the name of the Flame Inheritor sounds pretty awesome. Lynch thought that this might be the only thigh I could hold after losing my parents in this world, and I had to hold it tighter.
"Wait a minute. Lynch did not take the girl's hand, but ran back to the house as quickly as possible.
"Don't go near the ashes. β
"Okay. β
He had to find his mother's ring and give it to the girl who had taken him in, preferably invisibly.
As he entered, he forced himself not to look at the two piles of ashes that were close together, and found the box with the ring and a knife at the head of his parents' bed.
He sighed, put away the box, and carefully hung the knife, which was already a little rusty, around his waist.
He ran back to the girl, opened the box, and handed the ring to the girl: "This is my mother's thing, and the only good thing in our family." You take it. β
The girl tilted her head to look at the cute brunette Shota and the ring in his hand. Xiao Zhengtai had a sincere and expectant expression.
The girl could tell at a glance that it was an iron ring painted in gold, and the style was not pretty, and it was not a valuable thing.
To Lynch's surprise, the girl did not refuse him, she took the ring in Lynch's hand and put it in her pocket.
"Let's go. The girl took Lynch's hand: "Take you back to where I live first, I still have to patrol." β
"Hmm. Lynch simply hung the lantern around his neck. Otherwise, it would be silly for two people to hold a lantern and hold hands.
"Can I touch that ash when I become a night watchman?" Lynch asked.
"Yes. β
"I want to bury them in the ground. Lynch said to himself.
"What are you doing in the dirt?" the girl asked, turning her head, a little curious.
Lynch didn't answer. At the same time, there is a deep sense of loneliness - no one can understand some stalks, and they don't even know how to go into the ground. What should I do with the death of the people in this world? He wanted to ask, but he was afraid that he would be troubled.
"What's your name?" the girl didn't ask when she saw that Lynch didn't answer, she changed the question.
"My name is Lynch. β
"What's your name?" Lynch said politely.
"Call my sister. β
"Sister, what's your name?"
"Luo Yu. β
Lynch took one last look back at his former residence, and let the past be buried in his heart.
The two of them walked slowly, accompanied by the ringing of bells, and the lanterns around them were like street lamps from Lynch's previous life. There was a faint noise in the neighbors' homes, probably startled by the previous movement.
They didn't dare make a loud noise, they didn't want to attract the attention of the monsters. But now it sounds like things are settled.
As Lynch walked, he suddenly felt that he had overlooked something, and that something was wrong.
I saw a starry sky before, and others may only see a few, so what does this starry sky represent?
Then I pointed to a North Star that I was most familiar with to cover me.
Wait, why should I cover myself? Just say it, can I take a harem with a shake of the king's overlordship?
No, that's not the point.
I pointed to a North Star...... Polaris??
Lynch recalled the entire starry sky he had seen. He had probably seen the starry sky in the countryside in the summer, but it was far less amazing than what he had just seen, and there were more stars than he had seen at the time, but some of the main ones, the approximate locations of the stars he knew, were the same.
Is this still on Earth?
