"You're like a monster hunter. On the way back to the caravan foothold in Buck Village, Rod looked at Ciri with some admiration: "Look at your appearance when you check the two people who are dead and alive, and later look for anomalies, you are simply an expert."www.biquge.info ”

"You've ever been in contact with ghouls and ghosts, and you're not afraid of the living dead. Moreover, I obviously didn't find out anything, are you deliberately sarcastic? Ciri glared at him dissatisfied, and the scar under his left eye seemed to be flushed: "It's just pretending, I don't know anything about this world...... If only Geralt were there, he would have discovered something. ”

"Who's Geralt?"

"My dad. ”

"Why do you call your dad by his name, that's weird. ”

"Geralt's father, it's okay, it's not biological, you care so much. The girl replied angrily, and soon fell back into deep thought, probably thinking of her father Geralt.

"Well, I'm nosy, let's go back, I'm a little hungry. ”

＊＊＊

After dinner, Ciri was nowhere to be seen again. Rhodes thought she had secretly gone to investigate the case of the living dead alone, but when he turned around, he found her sitting on the roof of the carriage parked at the back of the inn, looking at the sky with her knees crossed.

"What are you doing? Rod untied the big guy behind him and rested on the wheel, jumped on the roof of the carriage, and sat cross-legged beside her.

Ciri untied the bun tied at the back of her head at this moment, and the long light gray hair fell down, making her face softer, she moved to the side to make some way, and continued to look at the sky: "I'm studying the starry sky of your world, this is indeed not my original world, there is neither a dragon constellation, nor can I find the seven lambs...... In short, there is no constellation that I recognize. ”

"You still study constellations. Rhodes looked curiously overhead, night was falling, dots of stars dotted the dark blue sky, and a bright moon was emerging from the horizon: "To be honest, I've lived in this world for sixteen years, and I really don't recognize a few constellations, why should the witcher understand this?"

"I didn't use it a few times to find my bearings in the field, because I always found the right direction. The girl thought for a moment, and suddenly said in an exaggerated tone, "Ah...... You're sixteen?"

"What's the matter, I look so small. ”

"No, it's just a feeling...... You're a little naïve, I didn't expect you to be a year younger than me. Ciri, holding her chin and turning her head to look at him, suddenly had a sly smile on her face that had been a little sad.

Rod's face suddenly heated: "Where is it childish......! Grow younger, don't your beard be hard enough, boys develop later than girls, and my sister was taller than me until last year!"

"Okay benefactor, don't be angry, don't be angry. The girl laughed and reached out to pat his arm, "Just kidding, you grew up in a safe and peaceful environment, so that's how it will be." What is like me...... Growing up in a turbulent and chaotic era, and being precocious and self-reliant through hardships, it's not something to be proud of at all, maybe I'm more likely to survive in a harsh environment than you, but human beings, as the primates of all things, only think about eating enough to survive every day, it's too sad, isn't it? ”

Ciri sighed, and the little silver fox popped out of Rod's chest bag to look at her, turned his head to look left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he jumped out and jumped under the carriage to carry out his daily activities...... Because the rest of the team didn't treat her well, she only dared to come out and walk around when no one was around.

Rhodes and Yin'er are now chatting during the day and at night, but they are really close, and they are not worried that she will run away without saying a word. Looking at the figure of the little fox, he was now nearby, and in a blink of an eye, there was a new question: "Ciri, how did the scar under your left eye come about?" ”

"That's a long story...... she frowned slightly, and suddenly became inexplicably angry, turned to face Rhodes on the roof of the car, and pointed to her chest: "Can you see it?"

"See what?" the boy was confused, and followed the girl's pointing, and by the light of the full moon, he could clearly see the opening in the middle of the white shirt on her chest, and the skin and white cloth inside were faintly visible.

"See? That means you have good night vision. Ciri turned around, covered her chest and grumbled indignantly, "You think I was careless and didn't button it?" I deliberately unbuttoned my shirt in the hope that I would divert your damn attention elsewhere when I met a man, but you still look at my scars! I hate it, and if you hadn't saved me, I would ...... it."

"No, no, no. Rod just asked casually to find a topic, but he didn't expect to cause such a big reaction from the other party, so he hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "I just think your scar is so handsome...... You don't like to talk about this, so let's talk about something else, are there dragons in your world?"

"Ho. Ciri turned her head to stare at him, her green eyes reflected a deep color in the moonlight, the two looked at each other, and after a moment her attitude softened slightly: "You think my scar is very handsome? ”

"I'm speaking from the heart!"

"Yes, you think my scar is handsome, so I'll carve one for you?" Ciri pulled out the long dagger from his belt and pressed him with an enthusiastic look, "Scar is a man's medal, and with it, I promise you'll be fascinated by any creature who likes men." ”

"No, no, no. Rod waved his hand again and again as he retreated: "The scars left in the battle are valuable, it's not good to cheat." ”

"Well, well, I'm actually used to it, man, it's very strange to see a girl with a scar on her face. Ciri inserted the dagger back, turned his head and suddenly looked nonchalant again, "If you want to know how this scar came about, it doesn't hurt to tell you, an old man taught me: facing up to pain is a good attitude towards the past." ”

......

Two young men and women sat on the roof of the carriage, bathed in the bright moonlight, chatting about the past.

The story of the girl's past was told, and the tone of remembrance and Rod's occasional curious inquiry echoed under the empty sky. Through her recounting, Rhodes gets to know Geralt, the legendary witcher who is destined to be connected to Ciri and teaches her all the ropes, Trissy, a young female mage who tells her that there is a difference between men and women and that "a woman with self-respect and self-love should make up for herself", Yennefer, a sorceress who gives her motherly warmth and helps her get rid of her fears, the bandit gang who spends her days fooling around with her, and Bernhardt, a murderous bounty hunter who leaves her with unforgettable scars......

And, of course, the elves who forced him to give birth, and the unicorn that taught her to travel through the world and help her escape from Ain El......

Now, she is a time wanderer who wants to go to another world to start a new life, but she misses her adoptive parents and sets out to find her way home. It's a pity to be lost in thousands of worlds, each crossing is different, and every time it is not where she wants to go. In all kinds of worlds, she is always an outsider, and the freedom to travel through time and space at will brings incomparable loneliness.

After being hurt by others, Ciri no longer trusts others easily, but for some reason he can't raise his guard against the boy next to him, maybe because he hasn't spoken to a human who speaks the same language for a long time.

Then, at Ciri's insistence, Rhodes told her about himself as well. His narrative is much shorter: the father who has not seen anyone all day and is in awe of no matter who mentions it, the mother who is the most gentle and beautiful and somehow has "great wisdom", and the beautiful sister who takes "advocating true knowledge and pursuing excellence" as her motto, and never even copies her homework for herself...... As for Aunt Yani and her little sister, who are like big sisters, as well as Catherine, her friends Sephes and Friss, because of various concerns, they are all brushed aside.

He really didn't have much to talk about, except for his relatives and family trivialities. At first, he was afraid that the girl would look down on him, but who knew that Ciri also showed a fascinated expression on his life. The two teenagers have their own lives, each with their own people they care about, none of Ciri's "important people" are her real relatives, but Rod's life is almost all family members.

"I don't want anything from nothing, that's probably what it feels like. Ciri sighed with emotion, and her sadness overflowed: "Your story is just beginning, and I've had enough of it. ”
